C115 (1/2)

Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu were both over fifty years old, almost ten years older than Cheng Yuan's father, Cheng Feng.

Cheng Yuan sat beside the Old Master, staring at Wang Mu kneeling in the middle of the hall.

”Young Master Yuan, is what Wang Mu said true? Did you really squander the profits from Cheng's restaurant on Changning Street for a whore? Furthermore, they have to be pawned? ” The one who asked was Cheng Kui.

Although he looked like a branch family head, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. More importantly, he owned a family, had direct descendants and branch family members, and had invested money into the management of the branch family for generations to come.

Cheng Yuan withdrew his gaze and did not utter a word. His fat face was full of arrogance. ”What right do you have to question me, a side branch?”

”What kind of attitude is this?!” Cheng Kui glared at him, clenching his hands on the back of his chair. He usually hated people using the word 'side' the most.

Cheng Hu was also a side branch and could not help but say, ”What Young Master Yuan said is not right. No matter what, this family business is part of our side branch. Why can't we go over it?”

Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, his fat face showed his ferocity, and he choked loudly, ”Part of you? ”What a joke. My family's businesses are naturally our direct line of business. Every year, I'll give you some bonuses. It's all very generous of you.”

These words were like the reverse scale of pulling out a dragon. Cheng Kui was trembling with rage.

Cheng Hu's image as a good man almost crumbled.

The Old Master was well aware of Cheng Kui's character. He was afraid that Cheng Kui would punish him, so he hit the ground with his walking stick just in time. ”All of you shut up. What a mess this is.”

How big a deal is it?

Cheng Kui could no longer hold back his temper. ”Big brother, you can't say that. Although we have a direct branch of the family, we have been united for almost a hundred years. Regardless of the major events, we have always discussed them. To use a restaurant as a pawnbroker, you don't even put your family and elders in your eyes at all. Is this the property of a family owned by him, Cheng Yuan?

”That's right, big brother. If all the disciples of a well-established family were like Young Master Yuan, then wouldn't the family's assets have all been destroyed long ago?” Cheng Hu cheered Cheng Kui on. His tone and expression were kind, as if he was a good person.

These two old bastards!

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth. Sooner or later, when he took over the family business, he would drive both of them out.

Although they were branch family heads, their words naturally carried weight. This was Cheng Yuan's fault. Even if the Old Master wanted to side with him, he could not do so without any qualms. He could only reply, ”Cheng Yuan is just a child, you guys think too much too.”

However, both Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu's face were filled with disapproval. It was one thing for Cheng Yuan to make a mistake, but it was fine for them to give the Old Master some face, but this Cheng Yuan was too arrogant. If they didn't let him be punished, the two of them wouldn't be able to take this lying down.

No matter what, he had to let this brat know how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was!

The Old Master was so smart, how could he not see through Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu's thoughts?

Thus, the Old Master looked towards his only son, Cheng Feng. ”Feng'er, what do you think about this matter?”

If it was really according to Cheng Feng's thoughts, then he would definitely punish Cheng Yuan. From the way he taught Cheng Yu, it could be seen that he had always walked the path of orthodox scholars.
