The atmosphere in the villa was strange. Seeing that his second uncle's family of three were avoiding the topic and were only chatting and laughing around the old man, Cheng Shaoheng's eyes darted around.
"Shao Lin, why didn't you bring your girlfriend home for dinner? What's wrong? Are you still angry?"
Seeing Cheng Shaoheng's slightly narrowed eyes, the purposeful smile in them stung Cheng Shaolin's heart.
You can say whatever you want about him; what can you do about your own family?
But Li Xiao couldn't.
It's unacceptable to have any designs on Li Xiao!
Cheng Shaolin was furious. Seeing Cheng Shaoheng still smiling at him, he couldn't suppress his anger.
"Brother, you're very well-informed."
A seemingly random remark brought Cheng Shaoheng's laughter to a halt.
The smile in his eyes disappeared.
His black eyes stared straight at Cheng Shaolin.
Their eyes met in the middle of the hall.
Cheng Shaoheng's lips twitched slightly, a half-smile that made Cheng Shaolin frown.
Cheng Shaolin also leaned back on the sofa.
Seemingly sensing the confrontation between them, the others gradually quieted down.
"Shao Lin, we're all family. You should think about the Cheng family."
"Is this for the sake of the Cheng family, or for your sake?"
Cheng Shaolin remained unmoved.
Cheng Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.
"Without our actions in Beijing, who do you think you are?"
Cheng Shaolin's lips curled up, looking quite amused.
"I'm nothing special. I've been doing quite well all the way outside of Beijing."
"But now that you're back, why can't you understand?"
"I've thought it through clearly. As long as the people around me are doing well, that's enough."
Cheng Shaoheng's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's right, isn't it even better with family support?"
Cheng Shaolin raised his eyelids and glanced at Cheng Shaoheng opposite him. "Support? Pfft, are you joking?"
Cheng Shaoheng's expression changed, and his voice turned cold.
"Shao Lin, what do you mean by this?"
Cheng Shaolin shook his head. "It's nothing. The family, huh. To be honest, brother, how did you become like this?"
"What do I look like? What exactly do you mean? What, you think you're all grown up now? You think I'm your brother?"
"Yes, you're my brother. If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't be sitting here."
Cheng Shaoheng was furious. "What, you have a problem with me?"
Cheng Shaolin shook his head. "No objection. Just tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Cheng Shaolin didn't want to waste any more time, so he asked directly.
Cheng Shaoheng crossed his legs, his eyes sharp.
"Your team is quite strong; they can operate under the Cheng family's name."
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Shaolin interrupted him.
"Alright, that's impossible. I understand what you mean, stop talking, it's impossible."
"Cheng Shaolin!"
Seeing that Cheng Shaoheng was angry, Cheng Shaolin stopped looking at him and looked at the old man sitting in the head seat.
"Grandpa, I'll come back to see you again sometime."
As he spoke, he prepared to get up.
Cheng Feihong, who was sitting opposite him, stopped him at this moment.
"Shao Lin, why do you say that? We're still family. Even if we're broken, our bones are still connected. What are you doing?"
Cheng Shaolin looked at his uncle, who gave his son a reassuring look.
"Oh, you child, your temper is getting worse and worse."
"Uncle, if you and my elder brother think the same way, then there's no need to say anything more."
Cheng Feihong's smiling face gradually turned cold.
"What? You can't even say a few words to your uncle? You think you've grown wings and don't respect people anymore?"
"Boss!"
The room fell silent after the old man's loud shout.
"dad."
"grandfather."
The old man glanced at everyone, his eyes filled with sadness as he looked around.
"What's wrong? You think I'm too old to move? Look at you all, what a mess you've all become! You think I can't control you anymore? You've created a complete chaos."
“Dad, but…” Cheng Feihong wanted to say something, but before he could, the old man interrupted him.
"Shut up! Look at yourselves, do you act like elders?"
Faced with the old man's stern reprimand, Cheng Feihong was furious. He suppressed his anger, wanting to vent but also mindful of something.
"Dad, I'm doing this for the good of the family," he said through gritted teeth.
"For the good of this family? Heh." Cheng Shaolin looked at the people sitting opposite him with a sarcastic expression, taking in their looks.
Greedy, calculating, selfish, arrogant, indifferent, haughty.
Hehe, family?
Is this how you should act when facing your loved ones?
"Why bother with such high-sounding words? Your interests and calculations are written all over your faces. Who do you think you are, fools?"
"you!"
"Shao Lin!"
Seeing that his grandfather was quite angry, Cheng Shaolin shut up.
He couldn't afford to upset the old man, so he had to restrain himself.
"And you, listen to your elders when they're speaking."
Cheng Shaolin nodded earnestly.
Cheng Feihong also calmed down and took a deep breath.
"Calm down, everyone. What's all the arguing about? What time is it now? What's there to argue about?"
The old man's eyes swept across the room, his imposing presence fully revealed.
…………
“Since Shaolin wants to live outside, then let him live outside,” she said, glancing at her eldest son. She understood perfectly well.
It's all my fault. When the apocalypse began, Shao Lin wasn't there, and the capital was in chaos.
With the base completed, various forces began vying for control.
With the most capable child absent, the old man had no choice but to raise his own headstrong grandson.
