Chapter 101 Do you want to eat candy? You are teasing me.
The question stumped Cheng Wei.
The Cheng family fell into a long silence.
Cheng's mother suddenly became furious. "It's all Xiaoye's fault. Nothing happened in the first place, but he was the one who interfered. Cheng Bingqian, your son is hopeless!!"
Father Cheng's face showed dissatisfaction.
"After he severed ties with us, he has been stealing the show and outshining our Feng Hao in every way. As an older brother, why doesn't he know how to give way to his younger brother?"
"I think it's not good for Xiaoye to show up in public. We should bring him back to Cheng's house as soon as possible." Cheng's mother Xu Tang said, "Cheng's house provides food and accommodation, and gives Xiaoye an extra 800 yuan pocket money every month, which is enough for him to live on."
When Cheng Bingqian heard this, he was always sensitive about money and couldn't help but sneer, "800 yuan pocket money per month? What do you think? Xiaoye does live streaming to receive gifts, so it's more than 800 yuan a month, right?"
"Some time ago, he won tens of thousands of yuan in prize money in a physics competition and another 70 yuan in prize money in a global mathematics competition. The rent, water, electricity, living expenses and other expenses are not a burden for him at all."
"Why does he want to return to the Cheng family to live?" Cheng's father frowned.
"Cheng Bingqian, the property and resources that our Cheng family possesses are beyond the reach of Xiaoye if he goes out alone. This is why he returned to the Cheng family."
Cheng's mother Xu Tang was extremely worried, with a slight jealousy towards Cheng Ye flashing in her eyes, "The longer he is away from the Cheng family, the less we can make him obedient."
Hearing this, the third sister Cheng Shiyan felt a deep sadness in her heart.
Mom doesn't want to see the gap between Cheng Ye and Feng Hao widening in the future, so she actually wants to narrow the gap between Cheng Ye and Feng Hao by restraining and suppressing Cheng Ye.
But the mother overlooked the most important point. How could a bird that had regained its freedom go back into a small cage and live a dependent life?
"If he doesn't come back to the Cheng family, we will use our power to suppress him. I don't believe he will not come back home!" Cheng's mother Xu Tang gritted her teeth. Feng Hao is her life, and Xiao Ye violates her bottom line again and again.
This time, she couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to endure it any longer!!
"Xiao Ye is disobedient, we must teach him a lesson!" Xu Tang said angrily, "We can send our brother to the police station, who knows if he will rebel in the future? Will he do something even more outrageous?!"
Cheng Shiyan felt even more sad. Her mother was so partial. Feng Hao was wrong first. Xiao Ye was just using legal weapons to protect herself.
"Didn't Xiaoye often steal things from our house before? Butler Zhang, go check how much Xiaoye has stolen?!"
Xu Tang immediately gave orders to Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang was confused, but as a servant, he didn't ask too many questions. He nodded respectfully and went to retrieve all the surveillance videos in the villa.
Cheng Bingqian's eyes flashed with shock, "What are you going to do?"
"If the amount of theft reaches a certain amount, it can be considered a criminal case." Xu Tang said angrily, "Feng Hao has been sent to prison, why shouldn't Xiao Ye go to prison?!"
Cheng Bingqian, Cheng's father, had a gloomy expression on his face. "Even if Xiaoye had stolen something, we can't hand Xiaoye over to the police for punishment."
The more Xu Tang thought about it, the angrier he got. "Cheng Bingqian, before Xiaoye sent Fenghao to prison, did he ever consider our ideas? It could have been resolved peacefully, so why did he have to take the most extreme approach?!"
"I can't stand it!!" Xu Tang was furious.
Cheng Bingqian frowned and said, "Don't you think the Cheng family has lost enough face?!"
Cheng's mother Xu Tang was filled with indignation, "Face is not as important as Feng Hao."
Father Cheng weighed the pros and cons.
Cheng Ye always challenges his authority, which becomes a source of worry for him.
He thought that if he had evidence of Cheng Ye's theft, he would be able to use it to easily capture Cheng Ye in the future.
Wouldn't Cheng Ye still have to obey him at that time? He would follow his wishes, break up with Jiang Mian, marry Chu Xiyan, and consolidate the status of the Cheng family as a wealthy family.
When Cheng Shiyan heard the conversation between her parents, she felt sad and an indescribable sense of suffocation.
After checking the surveillance footage, Butler Zhang came over and said bitterly, "Mr. Cheng, Madam, I didn't find any video of Young Master Cheng stealing."
Xu Tang refused to believe it, "Did you forget something? Our family has lost valuables more than once."
Cheng Shiyan was stunned. She had indeed lost her jewelry necklace several times.
But at that time, she had a preconceived notion that it was Cheng Ye who stole her luxury jewelry necklace.
Never thought about investigating surveillance.
Now Butler Zhang said that there is no surveillance video of Cheng Ye stealing? !
She wronged Cheng Ye? !
Butler Zhang was firm, "Madam, every corner of the Cheng family villa is equipped with the most advanced surveillance system. As long as someone enters or leaves, it will be automatically identified and monitored."
"I can quickly check and have confirmed repeatedly that Young Master Cheng has not committed any theft during his three years at the Cheng family."
Not only Cheng's mother, but Cheng's father was also very surprised.
Father Cheng was stunned. "Then how did our things get lost? Could it be the servants or the nanny?!"
Butler Zhang hesitated to speak, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.
I'm afraid if I say it out loud, there will be another bloody storm.
However, before he could think of a good way to phrase it, Cheng's mother angrily said, "Xiao Ye must think that he can make money now, so he goes against us in everything!"
"Sending Feng Hao to prison was because of his jealousy!" Cheng's mother said angrily, "Without the Cheng family, he is nothing!"
"Butler Zhang, give the order that all landlords in Beijing are not allowed to rent houses to Xiaoye!!"
"Without a house to live in, he will definitely return to the Cheng family in disgrace!!"
Butler Zhang looked at Cheng's father hesitantly, "Mr. Cheng, Madam, do we really have to do this? After Young Master Cheng left the Cheng family, he never asked you for money. Do we have to do this?"
"I just want him to have no house to live in! Otherwise he won't be obedient!"
Mother Cheng was extremely angry. When she thought about Feng Hao suffering in prison while Xiao Ye was taking advantage of Feng Hao's popularity and earning a lot of gifts by live streaming, she felt very unbalanced.
Father Cheng did not object, "Go ahead and do it."
He now urgently wants Cheng Ye to be more obedient.
Xiyan and Cheng Ye are both eighteen years old, and it is time for them to get married.
Butler Zhang looked a little embarrassed, "Boss Cheng, Madam, have you all forgotten?"
"Some time ago, you asked me to investigate the residence of the eldest young master. He currently lives in a small clinic. There is a 70-year-old woman named Song Ranqiu, who adopted the eldest young master Cheng."
Father Cheng was surprised, "Song Ranqiu? When did Xiaoye get to know this old man?"
"We've known each other since we were very young. It's always been Song Ranqiu who brings all kinds of food to Young Master Cheng. They have a pretty good relationship."
Mother Cheng's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "He can get along well with outsiders, but he goes against our blood relatives. He is simply lawless!!"
Cheng Shiyan remained silent, she didn't know where to start.
"Butler Zhang, send someone to forbid Song Ranqiu from letting Xiaoye live in the clinic. Also, notify all landlords to forbid them from renting any property under their names to Xiaoye."
Cheng's mother said angrily: "As long as he has no place to live outside, he will definitely return to the Cheng family honestly!!"
Father Cheng nodded, "His character really needs to be treated."
Butler Zhang's eyes flashed with complexity. After nodding, he handled it according to their wishes.
Cheng Shiyan looked at Cheng's father and mother, and then at her eldest sister Cheng Wei and second sister Cheng Zhirou who were sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
She just didn't understand. Cheng Ye hadn't done anything wrong, so why did his parents force Cheng Ye to return to the Cheng family? !
Can't they be a little less prejudiced against Cheng Ye? !
So far, the parents have not realized how outrageous and wrong this move is.
The eldest and second sisters just acted as bystanders and didn't say a word for Cheng Ye.
Cheng Shiyan suddenly recalled that Cheng Ye had wanted to chat with her several times, but she felt that Cheng Ye grew up in an orphanage and was not clean, so she didn't like Cheng Ye to get close to her.
Cheng Shiyan couldn't help but have red eyes, and tears instantly burst out. If everything could be done over again, she would never do anything to hurt Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye would not be distant and indifferent to her.
Naturally, they are still siblings who get along harmoniously.
"Dad, Mom, it's unreasonable for you to force Xiaoye to return to the Cheng family." Cheng Shiyan took a deep breath and said.
"What's unreasonable about that?" Cheng's mother was furious. "How can a blood descendant of the Cheng family live alone outside?!"
Cheng Shiyan felt particularly suffocated by Cheng's mother's preference for Feng Hao. "But you don't really want Xiaoye to go home. You just want to satisfy your desire for control and hope that Xiaoye is under your control."
"For Xiaoye, the Cheng family is not a warm home, but a terrifying hell cage, which is essentially no different from being in prison."
Cheng Shiyan questioned her soul, "Does he have any status in our family?"
The eldest sister Cheng Wei was suddenly stunned. Yes, does Cheng Ye have a status in their family?
The nanny and the servants were well fed and well-dressed in the Cheng family, but Cheng Ye could only use his bonus to get through those difficult days.
The second sister Cheng Zhirou murmured to herself, "What's the point of my parents forcing Cheng Ye to come back?"
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng looked at each other, and for a moment, both sides were speechless.
-
After a day of study and training, Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian returned to the small clinic.
By the door, Song Ranqiu was talking to a middle-aged man.
Cheng Ye saw from afar that the middle-aged man looked familiar.
When he got closer, Cheng Ye realized that the other person was Zhang, the housekeeper of the Cheng family.
"What's wrong with you? What qualifications do you have to make demands on me? I'm happy for Xiaoye to live here!" Song Ranqiu pushed Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang was helpless. If it weren't for Mr. Cheng and his wife's instructions, he would not have come here to do such a thing without moral bottom line.
"Grandma Song, please think about it carefully. I will give you three days at most to consider it. If you don't agree, I will have to take compulsory measures. By then, I'm afraid your clinic will not be able to open."
Butler Zhang said in a businesslike manner: "You know that your meager strength is not enough to compete with the Cheng family."
Song Ranqiu felt indignant for Cheng Ye. "They never raised Xiaoye. They gave birth to her but didn't raise her. After they took her back, they abused her mentally in various cruel ways."
"Now that he has left the Cheng family and severed ties with them, and is no longer an eyesore to them, they want to force Xiaoye to return to the Cheng family."
Song Ranqiu sneered: "What are they trying to do? They are not worthy of being Xiaoye's biological parents!"
Butler Zhang said helplessly: "I have delivered the message. I hope you can make a rational choice."
Song Ranqiu was so angry that she felt a little uncomfortable in her chest.
When Butler Zhang turned around, he happened to see Cheng Ye not far away.
He frowned, called out "Young Master Cheng" politely, and left without further delay.
"Grandma, why did he look for you?" Cheng Ye said in a gentle tone.
Song Ranqiu knew about this and could not let it slip away, so she told Cheng Ye the whole story.
Cheng Ye was calm and collected. They were really shameless.
Jiang Mian listened obediently, with unpredictable emotions in her beautiful eyes.
Cheng Ye suddenly held Jiang Mian's fair right hand gently. She raised her pure eyes and a blush appeared on her face.
Cheng Ye habitually took the initiative to hold her hand.
Jiang Mian was very happy.
Cheng Ye said, "Grandma, don't worry about this. Just live your life normally. I will take care of it."
Song Ranqiu couldn't help but worry, "Xiaoye, have you thought of a solution?"
Cheng Ye was silent for a while, "I'll think of it. Anyway, don't worry. Jiang Mian and I will go back to the house to rest. Grandma, you should also go to bed early."
Song Ranqiu watched Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian leave, feeling uneasy.
If Cheng Ye continued to stay here, the Cheng family would have the ability to shut down her small clinic, and would not give Cheng Ye a chance to continue living here.
If Cheng Ye went out, since the Cheng family had issued an order, no landlord would be willing to rent the house, and Cheng Ye would not be able to find a house to live in.
Therefore, Cheng Ye’s only choice was to return to the Cheng family.
Song Ranqiu's face was filled with melancholy. They were such failures as parents!!
In the living room.
Cheng Ye poured two cups of hot water and handed one to Jiang Mian.
The two of them sat on the sofa. After Cheng Ye took a sip, he glanced sideways and found a fallen leaf on Jiang Mian's head. He reached out and took the leaf down.
Jiang Mian smiled, pure and well-behaved.
Cheng Ye was sweating because of the night training. He chuckled and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Jiang Mian licked her bright red lips. When she heard that Cheng Ye was going to take a shower, her heart started beating faster and faster. She said with a hint of excitement, "Yeah. Okay."
Cheng Ye went to the bathroom to take a shower. Jiang Mian couldn't sit still in the living room, so she quietly pushed open the half-open bedroom door.
Hearing the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, Jiang Mian greedily hugged Cheng Ye's pillow.
Cheng Ye came out of the shower, only with his lower body wrapped in a bath towel, and his eyes fell on Jiang Mian who was hugging a pillow.
He instinctively went to the closet and put on a black short-sleeved shirt to block Jiang Mian's sticky sight.
Jiang Mian tilted his head, "Cheng Ye, you have so many extra clothes."
Cheng Ye's ears turned red. He found some clothes in the closet and went into the bathroom to change.
When he came out again, Cheng Ye was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and knee-length casual shorts.
Jiang Mian felt it was a pity and peeled a candy absentmindedly.
At this time, Cheng Ye came to her.
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes, and Jiang Mian raised his sweet little face.
Jiang Mian asked: "Would you like some candy?"
Cheng Ye restrained his desire and said, "Yeah."
Jiang Mian put the peeled candy into his mouth, "Don't you want to try it?"
The toffee is in Jiang Mian’s mouth.
Cheng Ye's eyes darkened, "Are you teasing me?"
