The young man stared at Jing Cheng blankly, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Jing Cheng was also startled when he heard the familiar voice. He looked up. Although the boy had bruises on his face, a closer look at his facial features showed that he was clearly one of the "little mice" he had taught a lesson last night.
Especially the other person's bright yellow hair and the sparkling earrings on his earlobes - both left a deep impression in his mind.
Obviously, the way the young man in front of him was dressed was different from that of an ordinary person in his eyes, because in his impression, dyeing hair and piercing ears and piercing eyes were things that only women would do.
Jing Cheng didn't know at this time that in today's era, putting on makeup is not exclusive to women, let alone wearing earrings.
"Kid, do you know me?" Fu Le was the first to speak. He was standing next to Jing Cheng at the moment. He thought the other party was talking about him. He pointed at his nose and asked in confusion, "But why don't I have any impression of you?"
"Who knows you? Stop flattering yourself."
The young man glanced at him disdainfully, turned his face away and said, "The person I know is the one next to you."
Fu Le: “…” Why didn’t your dad beat you to death just now?
"Hey! You haven't answered me yet, why are you in my house?"
...
...
The last sentence was said facing Jing Cheng, and the boy did not hide the scrutiny in his eyes at all.
Qin Yan's eyes began to become a little strange when he looked at the boy. He could sense that this kid had an inexplicable hostility towards Jing Cheng.
Jing Cheng just stared at the boy quietly, as if observing something, without saying a word.
The boy was frightened by his gaze. Recalling the strange hints he gave last night, he thought the man in front of him was a freak and couldn't help cursing: "What are you looking at? Are you mentally ill?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people standing in the yard frowned. Why is this kid like a hedgehog, with all his thorns standing up at any time and his words are prickly.
Before they could say anything, another hurried figure rushed out of the room.
"Chen Zhiqiao, who are you talking to?" Mr. Chen ran out angrily behind his son, the fat on his chest trembling, "Is this how I taught you to entertain guests?"
"I don't have a father, only a mother!" Chen Zhiqiao retorted without thinking.
"You fucking——!" Mr. Chen's face couldn't get any darker, and he glared and was about to lose his temper, but Jing Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed lightly to remind the other party that they were still there.
Chen Xingguang was so angry that he almost couldn't help but roar at Jing Cheng. Fortunately, he was not senile and after meeting Jing Cheng's calm eyes, his irritable heart strangely calmed down.
"Alas! It's such a misfortune for our family. We have made a fool of ourselves." Chen Xingguang sighed helplessly. Glancing at the expressions of the three people, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Jing Cheng and the others looked at him with sympathy. Being hated like this by your own son, it's really miserable for you as a father.
Of course, their sympathy only lasted for a few seconds. After all, Mr. Chen was obviously more hateful than pitiful.
There are mistresses everywhere outside. It is only right that such a scumbag father is hated by his son.
"What family misfortune? The greatest misfortune of our family is you!" Chen Zhiqiao roared, spit flying.
The fat on Mr. Chen's face trembled, and he seemed to be about to lose his temper, but he held back because of the three people in front of him and said, "Don't worry about him, let's go eat first, and then come back to cook after dinner."
The parties involved were not in a hurry, and Jing Cheng and the others certainly had no objections, so they followed the servants to the dining hall of Chen's house under Chen Xingguang's instructions.
No one noticed that before leaving, Jingcheng seemed to pat his pocket inadvertently, and a ball of "mist" invisible to the naked eye came out of his pocket and circled around Jingcheng. Jingcheng glanced at it warningly, and it slowly floated into the door.
This ball of "mist" is the ghost that Jing Cheng caught last night. This little ghost has been floating in the mortal world for several years and has long forgotten what his obsession is. He doesn't want to be saved and reincarnated, and only wants to follow his "boss" to run rampant in the ancient city. Jing Cheng thinks that this little guy's idea is very dangerous, so as to avoid causing greater unrest, he tamed this little ghost, which is the traditional sense of "raising a little ghost".
——Specially helping him do some “shady” things.
In fact, Jing Cheng discovered the problem as soon as he stepped into Mr. Chen's yard. There was a faint layer of bad luck surrounding the yard, and Mr. Chen's son was probably living here all year round, so the bad luck around him was even stronger.
This made Jing Cheng very curious. Could it be that someone in this yard kept a Yin creature? So he asked the little ghost to help him investigate.
Being surrounded by bad luck is nothing, at most you are more unlucky than the average person.
But bad luck is a bad thing after all. Once it entangles you for a long time, your fortune will be reduced, the fire in your shoulders will be weakened, and if something happens again, it will not be a trivial matter anymore, and it will easily attract the attention of evil spirits.
For example, last night when Chen Zhiqiao and his classmates were playing with the Pen Fairy, the Pen Fairy was so attracted by Chen Zhiqiao that it even forgot to possess him and answer his questions (? )... This is very telling.
Moreover, when most people realize that they are experiencing Mercury retrograde, they will usually try to find ways to resolve the problem, such as getting a talisman or Tai Sui talisman to ward off bad luck, or just staying home and not going out.
But Chen Zhiqiao is not an ordinary person. He even dares to play with the Ouija board in Ghost Street!
This is a typical case of not seeking death.
Chen Zhiqiao at the back was still shouting, but no one present paid any attention to him.
Fu Le was so angry that if it wasn't for the fact that they were in someone else's house, he would have turned his face away long ago.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to steal a glance at Qin Yan, thinking how strange it was that his brother Yan's temper had become better recently. If it were in the past, he might have resorted to violence.
Qin Yan walked side by side with Jing Cheng calmly. His little master didn't take the little brat seriously at all, so he naturally wouldn't lose his temper. Of course, he never thought of getting angry at all.
Because I stayed by Jingcheng's side, all the fires I had were extinguished.
What's more, they came to the Chen family for important matters, so there was no need to make a fuss over trivial matters.
The Chen family still retained the habit of the older generation, and the whole family had to be together for lunch, so on the way to the dining hall, they saw many members of the Chen family, both old and young. The oldest looked to be in his seventies or eighties, and the youngest was still in the arms of a servant, crying for food. However, most of them were young people who were the same age as Jing Cheng and the others, or only a few years older.
Jing Cheng and the other two were amazed. The Chen family was indeed a large family. It seemed that there were four generations living under one roof.
Little did they know that in the eyes of the Chen family, the most surprising thing was that these three strange teenagers stood with Chen Xingguang.
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan are the handsome and elegant type of young men, while Fu Le is the sunny and handsome type. The three of them are among the best in the crowd in terms of clothing, appearance and temperament.
There is no need to talk about Jing Cheng. Qin Yan and Fu Le both come from famous families in Shangjing City. They are used to big scenes with their fathers, especially Fu Le. Although he often loses touch in front of his own people, in the eyes of outsiders, his aura is still very intimidating.
Who was the young master invited from? He didn't even say hello to them.
However, anyone who can hang out with Chen Laosan is probably not a good person.
Thinking of this, the Chen family members looked at the three people with ambiguous eyes.
"How embarrassing! Why should I come here to eat with you guys?" Chen Zhiqiao glared at Jing Cheng and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Jing Cheng was speechless. This little brat was really bad-mouthed and was always looking for trouble.
However, walking in the busy corridor, he couldn't say anything to him. After all, Chen Zhiqiao got angry easily and it was very annoying when he made a fuss.
Qin Yan glared at him coldly. Chen Zhiqiao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "You, what are you going to do... I tell you, this is my home, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Nothing." Qin Yan snorted coldly, "I just want to tell you that the last person who dared to be so arrogant in front of him is already lying in the intensive care unit."
Chen Zhiqiao: “…”
"Yes, yes, that's who it was? It's so tragic, it makes anyone who hears about it sad and anyone who sees it cry." Fu Le patted his chest exaggeratedly, acting as if he was still frightened.
Chen Zhiqiao: “…………”
Jing Cheng's mouth twitched.
He knew they were talking about Yang Hong. That guy was really unlucky. He was hit on the head by a hoe and has not woken up yet. He is lying in the intensive care unit.
Perhaps Qin Yan's threat worked, and Chen Zhiqiao was very quiet throughout the rest of the journey, but his face was very dark.
Everyone gathered in the dining hall. Before sitting down to eat, Chen Xingguang introduced Jing Cheng and the others' origins to everyone, emphasizing the family backgrounds of the three, with a more or less proud tone.
However, most of the Chen family members were conservatives. They had lived in a corner of the ancient city for many years and did not know the Qin family, Jing family, and Fu family in Shangjing at all. Only a few middle-aged people who were about the same age as Chen Xingguang had slightly changed expressions on their faces and looked at them in surprise and suspicion.
Jing Cheng didn't expect that Chen Xingguang would introduce them in front of so many people. The three of them looked like goods being scrutinized by the Chen family, and they didn't feel comfortable at all.
This strange atmosphere was not disrupted until Chen Zhiyi appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria.
"Hey! Academic master!" Fu Le greeted the other party happily.
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Zhiyi immediately turned his head and looked over. Seeing the three people, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said in surprise: "It's really you..."
Fu Le said: "Didn't I send you a WeChat message? Didn't you read it?"
Chen Zhiyi awkwardly pushed his glasses down on his nose and smiled, "I was working on the test paper this morning, so I turned my phone to silent mode to prevent it from affecting my thinking."
"You are worthy of me." Fu Le patted his shoulder and said with emotion, "Okay, I forgive you."
"But, what are you doing...?" Chen Zhiyi looked at them curiously. He felt that the atmosphere in the cafeteria was weird today.
Jing Cheng raised his chin in the direction of Chen Xingguang and answered concisely: "Take money from people to eliminate disasters and solve problems."
At this time, Chen Xingguang was chatting and bragging to others about how much money he had made in the casino recently. It was obvious that he had long forgotten about Jing Cheng and the other three.
Chen Zhiyi suddenly realized and looked in the direction he pointed. When he saw that it was Chen Xingguang, his eyes flickered and his expression became strange, revealing a hint of disgust.
His expression changed so obviously that Jing Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why, is there something wrong with him?"
"Hey, what's your relationship with that fat guy? His son's name is Chen Zhiqiao, and your name is Chen Zhiyi. Your names are quite similar." Fu Le also asked.
Qin Yan also looked over.
Chen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and replied, "That's my third uncle, his son is my cousin, and my third uncle is..." He paused before he finished speaking, as if he was thinking of a word to describe him.
The three of them couldn't hurry him and could only wait patiently for his next words.
"A respectable fly."
Chen Zhiyi finally used a famous quote to describe it.
Jing Cheng and the other two were suddenly choked up and looked at each other.
What kind of weird description is this?
A fly is a fly. What's the point of being decent or not?
"Let me put it this way," Chen Zhiyi saw their twitching expressions and knew that these three people didn't understand the joke he had thrown out, so he had no choice but to change his way of expressing it, "If our Chen family is a pot of porridge, then he is the fly that spoiled the pot of porridge, an alien, um... do you understand?"
The three poor students were completely confused, but they knew that this was probably the Chen family's family affair, so Chen Zhiyi described it vaguely.
Jing Cheng thought about the Chen family's rule that they had to get together for lunch, and thought about Chen Xingguang's habit of not being home all day and his gambling and lustful nature... It seemed that Chen Xingguang was indeed incompatible with the Chen family.
As for why it is a “respectable fly”… probably because the Chen family is behind it.
There were more than 50 or 60 people in the Chen family. Men, women, old and young sat at different tables. The women of the Chen family actually ate alone in the ear room next door.
Chen Xingguang originally wanted Jing Cheng and the other three to go with him to the main table, but Chen Zhiyi had already taken his people to the juniors' table, so he had to give up.
The table was filled with the most common home-cooked dishes, with few delicacies from land and sea. Because it was a feast for the younger generation, there was more meat on the table.
The people sitting at the table were all young men of the same age as Jing Cheng and his friends. They should all be Chen Zhiyi's brothers. When they saw them coming over, they all had strange expressions on their faces.
Chen Zhiqiao was sitting alone in his seat playing with his phone. There was no one on either side of him. Jing Cheng walked over and pulled out a chair to sit next to him. Chen Zhiqiao heard the noise, looked up, glanced, and pouted, "Nerds actually have friends too."
Chen Zhiyi, who was bringing tableware to Jing Cheng, paused and his face turned red.
Jing Cheng: “???”
Chen Zhiyi is the eldest of this generation in the Chen family, and the young men at the table are all his cousins.
What surprised Jing Cheng was that the Chen family's ingrained concept of respect and inferiority did not manifest itself among the younger generation, because Jing Cheng noticed that at other tables, the eldest child would start eating before the others could. But at this table, no one seemed to take Chen Zhiyi seriously, and they had already started eating before Chen Zhiyi sat down.
The teenagers ate and chatted, while Chen Zhiyi took care of them like an old mother. When she saw who liked a certain dish, she would quickly push the dish in front of that person.
However, his cousins were still not satisfied and would bully him from time to time, using sarcastic tones that were extremely offensive.
Chen Zhiyi seemed not to hear it and just lowered his head to eat in silence.
Jing Cheng: “…”
Qin Yan: “…”
Fu Le: “…”
They really couldn't imagine what kind of life Chen Zhiyi was living at home. If this happened to any one of the three of them, they would choose to overturn the table and leave, but the person involved could actually continue eating with a calm face!
People doing things?
Just when Jing Cheng and the others could no longer bear it and wanted to say something, the adults at the main table suddenly started arguing, and someone overturned the table unexpectedly!
After a loud "bang bang", the bowls, chopsticks and plates on the table fell to the ground and even hit the table next to it. The boiling soup splashed everywhere and the crowd screamed.
"I treat you guys as my brothers, but you guys are stabbing me behind my back?!"
An angry voice sounded.
