Chapter 91: Brilliant Light, Regret
Cheng Zhirou widened her eyes in disbelief, "Cheng Ye, how can you say that to me? No matter what, you are still my biological brother, from the same father and mother."
"Cheng Ye, if you and Feng Hao get along well, how could our Cheng family always stand on the opposite side of you? We try hard to treat you equally, but Feng Hao is always at a disadvantage. What can we do?"
"Treating everyone equally? You are so shameless. Look at what you said. Do you believe it?" Cheng Ye's tone was full of impatience. "Stop talking nonsense. You come here to accuse me, don't you just want me to apologize to Cheng Fenghao?!"
Cheng Zhirou was furious. "You started it first, so you should say sorry to Feng Hao! Do you think I should say sorry to you?!"
She never said sorry to anyone!
It's impossible to say sorry to Cheng Ye!
It wasn’t possible before, and it will be even more impossible in the future!
Cheng Ye picked up the water cup and took a sip of water nonchalantly, "Stupid."
Then he simply ignored Cheng Zhirou.
Cheng Zhirou's face looked extremely ugly, and Cheng Ye became completely out of her control.
It was obvious that when she was at Cheng's house, he would take great pains to explain the reasons when she accused him. He would never ignore her like this, let alone say abusive words.
Cheng Zhirou felt that her face was about to be completely lost by Cheng Ye! !
why? !
Why is she always so embarrassed and embarrassed in front of Cheng Ye? !
"Cheng Ye, can you please not be so vicious? You have the blood of the Cheng family flowing in your veins. You are my blood brother."
"Oh..." Cheng Ye laughed, "You are stupid but you are unwilling to admit it. I severed my relationship with the Cheng family before school started."
"It's clearly written in black and white. I moved out of the Cheng family and have nothing to do with you guys anymore. It's you who keep coming to harass me."
"You keep stressing that you are my sister. What have you ever done for me? Nothing, right? Are you worthy of being my sister?"
"You come here to question me and ask me to apologize to Cheng Fenghao. The question is, do you understand what happened?"
"If Cheng Fenghao didn't act pitiful all day and say all kinds of disgusting green tea remarks, would I have nothing better to do and beat him up?!"
"Since you have provoked me, you must be prepared to be beaten. Don't dream of having both the right and the wrong."
"Listen to me, I abandoned you." Cheng Ye's voice was cold and resolute. "I don't have parents or sisters. I am an orphan. They were no longer in this world when I was born!"
Hearing the voice, Cheng Zhirou looked in astonishment at Cheng Ye, who seemed so unfamiliar to her.
She felt a strong sense of discomfort and guilt.
"Cheng Ye, I'm sorry. I ignored you before. I shouldn't have come here and questioned you directly without asking about what happened."
"Come back to the Cheng family with me. I will treat you well in the future. We can still be siblings with a harmonious relationship, right?"
Cheng Ye sneered, "Oh, let me go back so that I can apologize to you, right? After all, I kicked Cheng Fenghao, who was so well-behaved and obedient in your eyes, directly into the hospital. You won't let it go, right?"
Cheng Zhirou's body trembled violently. She had indeed had this idea. When Cheng Ye was not so hostile to the Cheng family, she would ask him to personally apologize for all the things he had done to hurt Feng Hao's brother.
Cheng Zhirou was embarrassed when her secret was exposed. She said angrily, "Cheng Ye, it's not like that. I really want you to return to the Cheng family and reunite with us."
"I see. Add up all the pocket money that Cheng Fenghao has earned over the past 18 years. You should give me as much as he has. Can you do that?" Cheng Ye said sarcastically, looking at Cheng Zhirou with a cold gaze. "Otherwise, why should I go back with you?"
Hearing this, Cheng Zhirou felt inexplicably angry.
It seems that Cheng Ye has always coveted the Cheng family's property.
But he pretended to be indifferent and superior.
Cheng Zhirou's face changed slightly, and her voice became colder. "Cheng Ye, why are you so fussy? Is money the only thing in your eyes? Don't we, the Cheng family, have an important place in your heart?"
"Hey, didn't you say that we should try to treat everyone equally? Are you not happy about it?" Cheng Ye thought it was very funny. "I just asked for equal pocket money. Are you so angry so quickly?"
Cheng Zhirou's face was gloomy, and she couldn't help but cry, "Cheng Ye, I treated you badly in the past, and I feel very guilty. Why can't you let go of the past and start over?"
Cheng Ye said in a cold tone, "Put away your hypocritical crocodile tears. Why, you did something wrong and you still want me to comfort you? To relieve your inner guilt?"
"Cheng Zhirou, you're quite funny." Cheng Ye looked impatient. "If you can't empathize with me, then don't be so self-righteous. You ask me to let go of the past and start over? Aren't you afraid of retribution for saying these things?"
"Are you tired of coming here and bothering me every day?!"
"Cheng Ye, you——" Cheng Zhirou's face turned pale. She stood there in a daze, shedding silent tears.
Instead of calling her Second Sister, he actually called her by her full name.
Did she really do something wrong?
Why did Cheng Ye refuse to forgive himself? !
She regretted it very much. If she had been nicer to Cheng Ye, would Cheng Ye not hate her so much? !
But soon, she began to wonder if Cheng Ye was deliberately saying these angry words to her?!
In fact, Cheng Ye is not as cold-blooded as he seems.
Maybe he still cares about her in his heart? !
Cheng Zhirou continued to brainwash herself and left the classroom in a daze.
-
Central hospital.
Cheng Fenghao was seriously injured and medical staff were performing surgery in the operating room.
Cheng's father, Cheng's mother and others were waiting anxiously at the door of the operating room.
Cheng Zhirou arrived late. She was in a trance and shed countless tears along the way.
Once upon a time, Cheng Ye looked at her with eyes full of admiration and respect, but she was ungrateful for what she had and ignored and disliked Cheng Ye again and again.
Now it was too late for her to keep him.
The Cheng family fell into deathly silence.
They didn't expect that Cheng Ye was so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter and acted in an extreme way, and his hatred for Cheng Fenghao reached such a high level.
It was obvious that Cheng Ye had always been submissive in the past. No matter how biased they were towards Cheng Fenghao, he would pretend that nothing was wrong and tried his best to please everyone in the Cheng family.
But now, Cheng Ye has become so strange.
Father Cheng was very upset. Feng Hao was beaten like this and kicked in a vital part. The attending doctor said that his injuries were very serious and he was undergoing surgery.
He was smoking a cigarette and didn't want to talk at all.
There is no way to handle this matter!
Should I go over and reprimand Cheng Ye?
What happens after the accusation?!
What is the use!!
He still wants to play the family card with Cheng Ye. He has not yet broken up Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian, nor has he successfully brought Cheng Ye and Chu Xiyan together.
His past accusations and abuses would only make the relationship between Cheng Ye and the Cheng family worse and worse! !
But this was not the scene he wanted to see!
As a successful businessman who has been in the business world for many years, he was actually helpless against Cheng Ye! !
He couldn't be hit or scolded, and he didn't even dare to say a harsh word!
There is no way, Cheng Ye’s interests are closely tied to the Cheng family!
If Feng Hao had fought harder and won the approval of Chu Xiyan and the old man of the Chu family, he wouldn't have ended up in such a passive situation! !
Moreover, Cheng Ye has become increasingly popular online recently and has gained a group of loyal fans. To some extent, Cheng Ye has gained a certain degree of control over public opinion.
Especially the eldest daughter, who handed me the diary written by Cheng Ye yesterday so I could read it.
When Cheng's father discovered the diary in which Cheng Ye had written something expressing his concern for him, he suddenly felt guilty.
As a biological father, I seem to have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father.
After Cheng Ye returned to the Cheng family, he did not make any compensation to Cheng Ye and was always on guard against Cheng Ye.
He didn't dare to read too much of the contents of the diary. After turning a few pages, he didn't have the courage to continue reading.
It was like a mirror, clearly reflecting his image as an incompetent father.
These diaries were hard for him to accept.
Cheng Ye, who once cared so much about the Cheng family, now treats them as enemies!
Don't treat them well anymore!
Father Cheng was upset.
Eldest sister Cheng Wei stared at the closed door of the operating room. Were they too cold-blooded towards Cheng Ye in the past?
What caused Cheng Ye to become so heartless?
Home should be a warm harbor, full of love and tolerance.
The Cheng family is very big, but it cannot accommodate Cheng Ye.
To Cheng Ye, this place might even be worse than hell.
She vaguely remembered that Cheng Ye knew her eating habits and her personal hobbies. He would try to understand her in his own way without disturbing her and work hard to bring them closer.
Cheng Ye would feel guilty because of her dissatisfaction and would take her jokes seriously.
At that time, she took Cheng Ye's kindness to her for granted and kept scolding and blaming him.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wei's heart was clenched with pain. She felt suffocated deep in her bones and her nose was sour. She used to think that Cheng Ye was embarrassing and never formally introduced Cheng Ye as her own brother in front of her friends.
When her friends had birthdays, she even called Cheng Ye over to serve them tea and water.
Cheng Ye had no complaints and really listened to her.
They were sarcastic and mocking towards Cheng Ye, deliberately teasing and playing tricks on him, but they remained indifferent and did not stand up to say a word to help Cheng Ye.
Cheng Wei was trembling all over, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Cheng Zhirou looked at Cheng's father and the others. After a while, she said with trembling lips, "I went to find Cheng Ye."
Cheng's father and others shifted their gazes, they had already guessed it.
"Cheng Ye told me that he was an orphan and had no parents or sister." Cheng Zhirou could no longer hold back her tears and her voice choked with sobs.
Cheng's mother was horrified. "Nonsense, aren't we his relatives? How could he say such hurtful words!!"
The eldest sister Cheng Wei and the third sister Cheng Shiyan both looked at Cheng Zhirou in surprise.
Father Cheng frowned, "Did you go to question Cheng Ye?"
Cheng Zhirou nodded absentmindedly, "He beat Brother Fenghao so hard that he had to be hospitalized for surgery. I couldn't stand it, so I went to school to argue with him. He ended up scolding me and saying a lot of unpleasant things to me."
"Let's just ignore this matter. No one should mention what happened today again." Cheng's father said with a gloomy face, "The finals of the Global Mathematics Competition are coming soon. We can't affect Cheng Ye's studies."
The eldest sister Cheng Wei's eyes were complicated, "Dad, if we take the cold approach, isn't it a bit unfair to Feng Hao? It will hurt Feng Hao's brother's heart!"
“What else can we do?! Feng Hao didn’t even make it through the preliminaries, and he’s often injured and hospitalized, and his grades are getting worse and worse!” Father Cheng’s expression was tense, “Now Chu Xiyan and the old man of the Chu family are more inclined to Cheng Ye’s side. In order to take into account the interests of the Cheng family, this is the only way to deal with it!!”
"Also, the fact that Cheng Ye beat Feng Hao today must not be leaked to the Internet, so as not to affect the Cheng family's stock price changes. I have sent people to block the news, and you must also shut up and don't say anything that shouldn't be said."
Cheng Zhirou was stunned, "But Dad, Brother Fenghao likes Chu Xiyan so much, but we are trying to match Cheng Ye and Chu Xiyan, will it be..."
She sent a private message to Chu Xiyan during the day, asking if she could take the initiative to ask Cheng Ye to break off the engagement. "
But Chu Xiyan hasn't replied to her yet.
In the adult world, not answering means no.
"What's the big deal? She's just a woman. At worst, I can find a new marriage partner for Feng Hao later."
Father Cheng didn't care at all, "With the power of our Cheng family, there are many rich daughters who want to marry Feng Hao."
Cheng's mother and others remained silent.
Those daughters of wealthy families are far inferior to Chu Xiyan.
-
Evening self-study is over.
As Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian walked out of the teaching building, they saw Cheng's mother and elder sister Cheng Wei coming over.
He felt speechless and walked past the two people sideways.
Seeing this, Cheng's mother and Cheng Wei hurriedly ran to Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye crossed his arms over his chest, his temper suddenly flared, "Are you guys stalkers?!"
Mother Cheng's eyes were red, "Xiao Ye, I'm your mother, how do you talk to me?"
Cheng Ye's voice was filled with a hoarse sneer, "I don't remember that I have a biological mother. Did you jump out from a crack in the stone?!"
"I don't want to go back and forth with you guys here. Can you have some self-awareness? You are disturbing me. I am very annoyed. Go away——"
Mother Cheng was heartbroken and angry at the same time. "You have no respect for your parents, Xiaoye. You are rebellious and ill-mannered. I don't want to go into details about all these, but how can you say that you don't have a biological mother?!"
"Am I not your biological mother?! Why are you unwilling to admit this fact?!" Mother Cheng felt very disappointed and looked at the cold-faced boy with sad eyes.
"I'm an orphan, where does my mother come from?!" Cheng Ye's patience has reached its limit, "There is no relationship between us."
"I don't have any parents or sisters. They died when I was born! Don't you understand?!"
Cheng Ye's tone was extremely cold, and his voice was like a biting cold winter, freezing the beating hearts of Cheng's mother and Cheng Wei.
"You signed the severance agreement yourself. You didn't think I was just joking with you, did you?!"
"No matter what you come to me for, you are seriously disturbing my life! I have nothing to do with the Cheng family!" Cheng Ye's eyes were cold, like a sharp blade cutting into their hearts.
Cheng's mother burst into tears and quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.
Cheng Wei's ears exploded with thunder. These harsh and cold-blooded words actually came from Cheng Ye's mouth? !
"Don't show up in front of me, it's disgusting." Cheng Ye said coldly, holding Jiang Mian's little hand, and left the school without looking back.
-
Small medical clinic.
In the kitchen, Cheng Ye was boiling Chinese medicine and looking at the jumping flames calmly.
Jiang Mian called his name softly, "Cheng Ye."
Cheng Ye looked back, "Hmm?"
Jiang Mian stood on tiptoe, raised the corners of Cheng Ye's mouth with her two fair little hands, and said sweetly, "Be happy."
"I'm not unhappy."
Cheng Ye poured the Chinese medicine into the bowl, then put five soft candies in it and stirred it carefully with a spoon. "Drink it."
Jiang Mian took it and said, "Cheng Ye, you have a bright future. They will regret it."
Cheng Ye's eyes flickered, "It's not important."
It doesn’t matter whether the Cheng family regrets it or not.
He just wants to do what he should do now.
Studying, making money, starting a business, and then taking revenge left Cheng Fenghao with nothing.
Although there are many extreme ways to seek revenge, doing so will cost you the rest of your life.
He must use reasonable and legal means to make Cheng Fenghao pay a heavy price.
Cheng Ye watched Jiang Mian finish drinking the Chinese medicine, raised his hand and hooked Jiang Mian's chin, "Does it still hurt?"
Jiang Mian answered obediently, "It doesn't hurt."
"Actually, I have a question for you." Cheng Ye chuckled.
Jiang Mian raised his curious head, "What's the problem?"
Cheng Ye's tone was tentative, and he was quite interested. "Did you fall in love with me at first sight, or did you fall in love with me over time?"
Jiang Mian blinked. If she said she fell in love at first sight, would Cheng Ye think she was superficial? Would he think she was just attracted by her beauty?
