Chapter 104: Evenly matched, owed a reward
Cheng Ye refused without a second thought, "I won't participate."
Chu Xiyan guessed that Cheng Ye would not attend. She was not surprised, but she was definitely regretful.
She returned to her seat in frustration.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Jiang Mian moved closer and hugged Cheng Ye tightly.
Cheng Ye felt Jiang Mian's warm embrace and smiled, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mian raised her sweet face and said, "Cheng Ye, I have never experienced the feeling of a couple's date."
Cheng Ye's eyes paused.
He has no experience, what are the steps for dating?
Cheng Ye thought for a while and said, "I'll arrange it."
Jiang Mian's eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape, "Yeah."
Cheng Ye saw her sweet smile and her two dimples were particularly cute.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and poked her dimple with his index finger, "How far have you finished your homework?"
Jiang Mian obediently opened his homework book, "I'm probably halfway done."
Cheng Ye also wanted to pinch Jiang Mian's palm.
The eldest sister Cheng Wei suddenly came to the classroom, holding the airplane model that Cheng Ye had thrown into the trash can.
"Xiaoye, let's go back to the Cheng family." Cheng Wei said, "My parents checked the surveillance cameras at home and found that you didn't steal anything from us."
"Oh, so what? You think I grew up in an orphanage, developed bad habits, and am incompatible with you?"
Cheng Wei choked for a while, then shook her head and denied, "Xiao Ye, we haven't thought about it that way."
Cheng Ye's eyes were calm and peaceful, and he sneered. Oh, you haven't thought about it? No one would believe it.
"You have evidence to prove that I didn't steal, but you didn't come to apologize in person?" Cheng Ye said in a cold tone, "Qingpiao Piao told me that you misunderstood me before, and that's it?"
Cheng Wei was speechless. She hugged the airplane model tightly in her hand and frowned, "Xiao Ye, why are you so stubborn? Wouldn't it be better for you to give in and return to the Cheng family?"
Cheng Ye thought it was funny, "I've been soft for three years, but have I earned your respect?"
"You always look down on me because I grew up in an orphanage. Isn't it your responsibility that I became an orphan?"
In his previous life, he treated the Cheng family as a treasure, but in return he was ruthlessly trampled upon by the Cheng family time and time again.
The Cheng family took his efforts for granted.
I am partial to Cheng Fenghao.
There is nothing but a mountain of prejudice against him.
Now that she is begging him to return to the Cheng family, how sincere are you?
Cheng Wei was stunned when she heard this.
Every word Cheng Ye said was trying to uncover her fig leaf.
"I'm sorry." Cheng Wei tightly held the airplane model in her hand.
She really wanted to give the airplane model to Cheng Ye in person, but the scene of Cheng Ye throwing the model into the trash can without hesitation that day kept irritating her sensitive nerves.
Cheng Wei hesitated for a long time, but ultimately said nothing. She walked out of the classroom lonely.
Cheng Ye supported his face with one hand and looked fixedly at the blackboard in front of him.
Jiang Mian said seriously: "Cheng Ye, the Cheng family are all a bunch of psychopaths, don't take their words to heart."
During this period, the Cheng family would always come to Cheng Ye for various reasons and say all kinds of high-sounding words.
Cheng Ye turned his head away and said, "I don't take it to heart."
Jiang Mian reached out and pinched his ear, "But you look like you're worried."
Cheng Ye nodded, "I am indeed worried. They forced me to return to the Cheng family and prohibited outside landlords from renting houses to me. I wonder if it would work if I lived in the school dormitory."
"But I feel that they will also put pressure on the school leaders." Cheng Ye fell into deep thought.
Jiang Mian answered obediently: "This is a small matter, you don't have to worry about it. Just do what you should do every day."
Cheng Ye was stunned, "Do you have a solution?"
"Okay, leave it to me." Jiang Mian patted his chest.
Cheng Ye stared at Jiang Mian's clear and beautiful eyes. He had thought about Jiang Mian's true identity. Was Jiang Mian the daughter of the Jiang family?
When Cheng Fenghao created the accidental fire, he did it perfectly, but Jiang Mian collected all the evidence and handed it to him.
Given the power of the Cheng family and Cheng's father's personality, even if the principal and teachers valued him, he would most likely have been forced to drop out of school because of the Cheng family.
But in reality, he was not forced to drop out of Yahua High School.
Cheng Ye once suspected that Jiang Mian was helping him secretly.
With a vague guess in his mind, Cheng Ye was silent for a moment, "How do you deal with it?"
Jiang Mian blinked and said, "I'll just make a phone call."
Cheng Ye chuckled and said, "Who are you calling?"
"My brother, you can ask him to handle anything if you have any problem." Jiang Mian said with a smile.
Cheng Ye's guess had almost become finalized.
The Cheng and Chu families are two of the three most powerful families in the capital.
Perhaps the only wealthy family that can compete with the Cheng family is the Jiang family, one of the top wealthy families in Beijing.
Besides, Jiang Mian’s surname is also Jiang.
Cheng Ye's eyes were complicated when she saw Jiang Mian calling her brother.
So, Jiang Mian is really the daughter of the Jiang family? Jiang Shiyan is the eldest son of the Jiang family?
When this idea was about to emerge in his mind, Cheng Ye stared at Jiang Mian intently.
His girlfriend is so outstanding, he has to become equally matched with her.
Having been protected by Jiang Mian several times, he also hopes to be strong enough to protect her in the future.
Jiang Mian finished the call and said, "Okay."
Cheng Ye replied in a low, hoarse voice: "Yeah. I owe you a reward."
Jiang Mian asked excitedly: "Any reward is fine?"
Cheng Ye said gently, "What reward do you want?"
"I'll keep it for now." Jiang Mian smiled harmlessly, "You'll know later."
On the other side, the Cheng family villa.
Father Cheng's face turned pale. He had just received a notice from the housekeeper saying that all landlords in Beijing were now under the management of the Jiang family.
Mother Cheng was horrified. "Why did the Jiang family suddenly intervene?"
Father Cheng was irritated and said, "Let's postpone urging Xiaoye to go home for the time being. Xiyan's parents will be returning to China tomorrow. Let's solve the urgent problem first."
"Feng Hao is still in prison, and Xiao Ye will definitely not take the initiative to go with us to have dinner with them."
Father Cheng was a little annoyed. At the critical moment, both accounts were useless! !
Mother Cheng did not weigh the pros and cons like Father Cheng. What she was thinking about was whether Feng Hao had enough food and drink in prison.
Thinking of this, Cheng's mother said, "Let's go see Feng Hao."
Father Cheng was in no mood. He frowned deeply and snorted coldly, "You go if you want to go. I won't go."
Mother Cheng called her three daughters over to visit Feng Hao. She complained, "It's up to you."
At noon.
Eldest sister Cheng Wei came over with a box of food.
Cheng Ye frowned, "Are you done yet?"
Cheng Wei took a deep breath. It didn’t matter at all that Xiao Ye didn’t like her now!
She will try hard to change her impression in Xiaoye's mind and be a qualified sister.
"Xiaoye, you are busy with your studies and have to do so many exams every day. You can't just eat casually!" Cheng Wei put down the lunch box and opened it. "This is the nutritious meal I asked the royal chef to prepare for you. It is a combination of meat and vegetables, scientific and nutritious. Eat it while it's hot."
Cheng Ye looked cold and indifferent, not bothering to glance at the food, and said with thin lips, "I don't need it."
Cheng Wei's face turned pale instantly. "Xiao Ye, I'm sorry. I neglected your feelings before. I thought the food you sent to me was made by someone else, but I didn't expect it was made by you yourself..."
"Stop talking. The fundamental reason why you don't eat is that you're afraid that I'll poison your food and kill you so that I can smoothly inherit your share of the Cheng family's property, right?"
Cheng Ye sneered, and used his own method to fight back, "I now seriously suspect that you have poisoned the food? If I am gone, there will be no one who can threaten your precious brother's status as heir."
"Am I right, Miss Cheng?" Cheng Ye's tone was extremely sarcastic.
Cheng Wei panicked and reached out to grab his arm.
But Cheng Ye's cold eyes were like a sharp knife scraping Cheng Wei's skin, "I have mysophobia."
"Xiaoye, I really know I was wrong and I failed you. This time I came here just to bring you some food! I care about your diet!"
Cheng Wei's eyes turned red. "Xiao Ye, can't you forgive me? There's a saying that goes, family members can't hold grudges overnight..."
"Hypocritical or not, I need you to care about my diet?!" Cheng Ye smiled, "Since I left your house, my diet has been getting better and better."
Cheng Ye's tone was extremely cold, "You are just being self-touched. If you really care about me, you should not disturb each other."
"Xiaoye, don't you like airplane models? There's an airplane model exhibition in the center of Beijing tonight. Can I take you there to visit?"
Cheng Wei opened her mouth hurriedly and spoke, fearing that Cheng Ye would leave the classroom in the next second.
Cheng Ye sneered, "What do you mean? Do you want to provoke me and make me remember the bad memory of you breaking one side of the wing of the airplane model I gave you?!"
Hearing this, Cheng Wei was shocked, "Xiao Ye, I'm not as evil as you think, I'm not teasing you!!"
Cheng Ye didn't even look at her, and left the classroom with Jiang Mian to go to the cafeteria to have lunch.
Cheng Wei felt a sore nose and tears flowed uncontrollably, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He also felt wronged by Cheng Ye.
Cheng Wei walked out of the classroom in a daze, holding her lunch box.
Why? She just wanted to care about Xiaoye's diet.
Why wouldn't he even accept it?
Cheng Wei burst into tears.
It turns out that being wronged is so unfair and painful.
She once thought Xiaoye was embarrassing, so she teased him unscrupulously.
Xiaoye was like a weak speck of dust, humbly trying to please everyone in the Cheng family.
But she did so many things that made Xiaoye feel disappointed!!
Cheng Wei was at a loss. She didn't know what to do. How could her apology be accepted by Cheng Ye?
-
in the afternoon.
Beijing Police Station.
Cheng's mother Xu Tang scooped a spoonful of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for Cheng Fenghao, "Fenghao, you have been weak recently and have suffered a lot. Eating these supplements will help your body recover."
"Don't feel pressured! The Cheng family will always be your strongest support. You will be released from prison in ten days or so." Cheng's mother comforted him, her eyes full of love.
Cheng Fenghao nodded obediently, "Mom, in the next ten days or so, I will reflect on what I did wrong."
Mother Cheng smiled and said, "Your health is the most important thing."
When Cheng Wei heard their conversation, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Mom had never spoken to Cheng Ye in such a kind and amiable manner.
Sometimes she wondered, is Cheng Ye her mother’s biological son?
The reason why Feng Hao went to jail was because Feng Hao became the perpetrator.
From beginning to end, the victim was Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye was framed by Feng Hao, and was instigated by Feng Hao to attack him online with his haters.
But despite all this, Mom didn't show the slightest bit of guilt towards Cheng Ye.
The second sister, Cheng Zhirou, saw through her eldest sister's thoughts. She patted Cheng Wei on the shoulder and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister, parents prefer children who are well-behaved and obedient. Xiaoye is just too rebellious and stubborn. He is not like Fenghao, who can say nice things to please his mother."
Cheng Wei had mixed feelings, "But mom is indeed too partial. Xiaoye is obviously her biological son, and blood is thicker than water."
"Is eighteen years of living together not as good as blood relationship?" Cheng Zhirou didn't quite understand. "Big sister, why are you so sad? I admit that we owe Xiaoye, but we don't have to be so sad."
Cheng Wei's heart was choking, and her guilt was getting worse. She could only change the subject to distract herself, "Why hasn't Third Sister come yet?"
Cheng Zhirou immediately said, "Third sister is busy with work and doesn't have time to come."
She looked at her elder sister, somewhat confused. In her impression, her elder sister handled company affairs in a vigorous and decisive manner, had a smart and wise personality, and never acted on emotion.
Why have you become so sentimental now?
After Cheng Fenghao finished eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, his hatred towards Cheng Ye reached its peak.
Cheng Ye, when I get out, I won't let you have a good life! !
I will repay you a thousandfold for all the humiliation you inflicted on me!!
Cheng Fenghao swore angrily.
After the afternoon classes ended, Cheng Ye did not go to the evening self-study class.
He entrusted a professional agency to handle all matters related to company registration.
This way you don’t have to handle each one yourself, nor do you have to wait in line yourself.
All that is required is for the professional organization to complete all the tasks and wait for the approval process.
The next morning, Cheng Ye stayed in the small clinic to study Chinese medicine.
When Song Ranqiu thought about the dilemma she was about to face, she sighed, "Xiaoye, have you ever thought about what to do after the college entrance examination?"
Cheng Ye was picking up some medicine. He wrote down the names of the herbs.
Hearing Song Ranqiu's question, Cheng Ye said, "Study and make money."
Song Ranqiu hesitated for a while and asked him, "Xiaoye, can you see if you can live in the school dormitory?"
Cheng Ye raised his eyes and said in a gentle tone: "It has been handled, don't worry."
Song Ranqiu's jaw dropped. "Is it handled?"
Cheng Ye nodded, "Yes."
Seeing that Cheng Ye didn't seem to be lying, Song Ranqiu continued, "That's good, that's good."
She found that Cheng Ye was busy every day, and a child without parents to support him had to rely on himself.
But there is no need to push yourself so hard.
"Many high school students like you are still in the stage of preparing for the college entrance examination." Song Ranqiu said, "It won't be too late to study medicine after you go to college."
Cheng Ye knew what Song Ranqiu was worried about, "Grandma, I will combine work and rest and take care of my health."
The next day.
Father Cheng called back Mother Cheng and others who had gone to the police station to visit Feng Hao.
Finally everyone arrived, and Cheng's father was in a bad mood.
"Hurry up and get ready, there will be a banquet hosted by the Cheng and Chu families tonight." Cheng's father instructed seriously.
Cheng Zhirou was a little uncomfortable, "Dad, without Feng Hao, would it be impolite for us to go there?"
