Lan Caihe learned the general outline of the cause and effect after asking Chu.

To her surprise, Zhao Xiaoyue knew kung fu, and that admiring gaze never left Zhao Xiaoyue.

Zhao Xiaoyue pressed down on Lan Caihe's shoulder, "Keep it down, keep it down, don't say it at school, understand?"

Lan Caihe nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I know, I know, it's a secret, hehehe!"

Seeing the girl's silly look, Zhao Xiaoyue smiled and thought, "That's good."

Back at the apartment, Zhao Xiaoyue went straight to her room. Hou Taotao was usually not here; this was her room alone.

The apartment lights are always on as long as she's there.

Zhao Xiaoyue sat in the chair, looking at her homework and thinking about the day's events.

That can change a person's personality is the ultimate form of torture.

They don't seem like a family that can't make ends meet, otherwise how could they just casually take out two thousand yuan?

I saw his grandfather from afar that time, and he seemed quite concerned about him; what kind of person would be so vicious as to try to ruin a person with such despicable means, when a child who isn't even a man yet is not yet considered a man?

She chuckled again, thinking, "What a busybody."

sleep!

Situ Ming and Duan Yunfei returned to the Sangjing Villa District very late. As soon as they entered, they saw Wen Zhengtian sitting on the sofa, brewing tea by himself, and Duan Peng standing to the side.

The old man, leaning on his cane, his hand still trembling slightly, picked up the freshly brewed Longjing tea and slowly sipped it.

Duan Peng's gaze remained fixed on the old man. Wen Zhengtian had aged considerably compared to a few years ago and needed constant assistance to get around.

Situ Ming remained expressionless, while Duan Yunfei's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He didn't particularly like his domineering father, but his mother adored him.

Indeed, in the Duan family, Duan Peng's wife is the highest leader and decision-maker. However, when it comes to educating their son, Duan Peng leaves it all to him.

Once, Duan Yunfei couldn't stand his father's devilish training anymore, so he encouraged his mother to divorce him and find someone else while she was still young. After all, his father was a career-oriented man who didn't know anything about romance and was too old.

Duan Peng's wife retorted haughtily, "What do you know? Focusing on your career is always better than chasing women. So what if he's older? He's only fifteen years older than me! Your dad is forty now, which is the prime of a man's charm. Where else can I find someone willing to unconditionally pamper me if I leave him? Don't try to fool me!"

That evening, Duan Peng's wife decisively betrayed her own son. After seven or eight-year-old Duan Yunfei finished talking with Seven Wolves, she told Duan Peng to send him to the army.

From then on, they lived a life of utter darkness.

Now when he sees his father, he really wants to ask, "Was the instructor you found the best in the entire military region?"

He was very suspicious that those people were trying to fool him.

"What brings you here?"

The moment he got back, that old man would definitely know.

Situ Ming's nonchalant tone infuriated Wen Zhengtian, who immediately slammed his teacup on the table, causing it to crack with a loud bang.

"How dare you! Is this how you talk to an elder? You sit and stand improperly, acting like a hooligan all the time. It seems you haven't been properly disciplined!"

Duan Peng glared at his brat, telling him to follow the young master. Who knew this brat would collude with the young master and go against Uncle Wen? It's like a hunter who gets pecked in the eye by a goose.

"Heh, what's wrong with my attitude? If you don't like it, then don't come. I didn't invite you!"

Duan Peng winked at his son, but Duan Yunfei pretended not to see it. These older generations always want to control everything about the next generation, without considering the thoughts of those being controlled.

Wen Zhengtian had taken medicine before he came, so he wouldn't fall for this kid's tricks this time.

"Duan Peng, you and Yun Fei go out first."

"yes!"

The old man spoke, and Duan Yunfei went to the garden with Duan Peng!

Wen Zhengtian has large eye bags, and his relaxed face still exudes a sense of authority.

When Wen Zhengtian saw his only grandson, he was furious when he recalled how the grandson cried during their first meeting.

The daughter protected her son like the plague. The more you protect a family like that, the more fragile it becomes. What kind of test can it withstand? In the end, you can only sacrifice in vain.

Situ Ming was annoyed by the stares. "I'm your nominal grandson, not a woman!"

Wen Zhengtian slammed his fist on the coffee table in anger, “You bastard…”

"Alright, alright, you're so angry you want me to wear mourning clothes and see you off when you die."

"You, you unfilial brat, you've gone too far! Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death!"

Wen Zhengtian was truly furious. His health had been deteriorating day by day for the past two years, and the doctor had repeatedly warned him not to get angry. But this brat wouldn't stop until he was driven to his death!

Seeing that the old man's face was turning a bit purple, Situ Ming pulled out his trump card, "Hurry up and die. I'll follow right after you die. Anyway, this world means nothing to me."

The first time Wen Zhengtian was threatened like this—yes, the first time he was threatened—he immediately beat Situ Ming half to death.

Later, his knife not only pierced his heart, but also stabbed into Wen Zhengtian's heart.

Later, Situ Ming's threat worked. He dared not gamble anymore. Given that brat's temperament, it was very possible that he would follow him the moment he left.

Seeing that the old man had regained his composure, Situ Ming sat up straighter. "Get to the point, I'm sleepy."

After a long pause, Wen Zhengcai finally spoke, "Go to school tomorrow to ask for leave, go to Kyoto Hospital for a physical examination, and have the scar on your face removed. Report to the Wen's Group project department a month later."

"Heh, hehe."

Wen Zhengtian raised his eyes and said, "What? You have a problem with that? If you do, you better shut the hell up!"
