C116 (1/2)
Cheng Yuan might be fat and had some skills, but he was not the type of person who didn't have time. With three or four people surrounding him, he would definitely lose no matter how strong he was.
Unable to break free no matter what, Cheng Yuan flew into a rage out of embarrassment. ”Cheng Feng, you dare to treat me like this. Have you forgotten what happened that year …”
Seeing that Cheng Yuan was going to mention what happened that year, Cheng Feng was shocked.
That year? What happened back then? Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu were at a loss.
Wang Mu, who had been feigning death in the middle of the hall, also quietly raised his head.
The Old Master took up the cup and smashed it on the ground. With a crisp 'bang', he interrupted Cheng Yuan's words.
Cheng Yuan snapped out of his rage and turned around, only to see his grandfather, who had always doted on him, staring at him angrily.
Panicking, he ran to Cheng Hui and kneeled on the ground. ”Grandfather, Grandfather, don't be angry. I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn't have mentioned what happened back then …”
”Shut up!” Cheng Hui was infuriated as he lifted his head to suppress his emotions.
Cheng Hui usually did not throw a tantrum, as he had never been this agitated in his life before. Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu looked at him with fear in their hearts. Cheng Kui gathered up his courage and asked, ”Big Brother, what's wrong?”
Panting heavily, Cheng Hui waved his hands and said, ”I'm tired. My two brothers, please go out.”
Since Cheng Hui had spoken, the two of them did not dare to stay any longer. They looked at each other and walked out together.
After they had disappeared, Cheng Feng said to Wang Mu in the middle of the hall, ”You can leave as well. I will tell Cheng Yu about what you did today.”
Wang Mu was still silently thinking about what had happened in the past, and upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, he was immediately shocked and frightened. He wanted to beg Cheng Feng not to tell the Young Master about this, but he was well aware of his temper.
When Cheng Feng and Cheng Yuan were the only ones left in the room, Cheng Hui could no longer hold on and sat down on a chair. The wrinkles on his previously spirited face were now extremely eye-catching.
What happened that year was a taboo. He had been forcing himself to forget it all these years, and he had never allowed Cheng Feng and Cheng Yu to mention it.
His son, his poor Cheng Bao!
Dad, I'm so sorry!
Thinking of Cheng Bao, the Old Master's pair of eyes that had grown murkier with the passage of time began to fill with tears.
”Grandfather, Grandfather, don't be angry anymore. Yuan'er won't dare …” Cheng Yuan was not afraid of anyone in this family, but he was most afraid of Cheng Hui, because he knew that only Cheng Hui genuinely loved and protected him.
Thinking about Cheng Bao, Cheng Hui's heart softened. He used a pair of big hands full of age spots and pulled Cheng Yuan up. ”Forget it, forget it. No matter what, you are not allowed to talk about what happened that year. Do you understand?”
Cheng Yuan nodded his head obediently and carefully glanced at the Old Master's face. Seeing that he was no longer angry, he complained, ”The reason I made a slip of the tongue just now was because Cheng Feng wanted to send my grandson to the ancestral hall for suffering. You know that I am most afraid of heat.”
Logically speaking, Cheng Feng was Cheng Bao's younger brother, so he was Cheng Yuan's uncle. However, Cheng Yuan addressed him by his full name, so Cheng Ye and Cheng Feng didn't feel that anything was amiss with him.
