Father Jing suspected that he was hallucinating. Otherwise, why would someone be unwilling to be a father when he was so eager to do so?
He is so rich and powerful. His son will never have to worry about food and clothing, and will have endless pocket money. He must have prayed for this in his previous life, right?
What's more, this little guy has been his son for so many days, he just lacks a legitimate identity.
He has already satisfied the other party, so what else is there to be unwilling about?
Father Jing's face turned grim and his expression did not look good.
Jing Rong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Jing's father would choose to go with the flow as soon as he opened his mouth and completely make this child his own territory.
They didn't care at all about the other party's purpose in coming to their house.
Jing Rong couldn't help but look at the young man sitting on the sofa. The other party was frowning, looking at Jing's father, then looking at him, with an indescribable weirdness in his expression.
What is he thinking about?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Jing's father's idea. Jing Rong doesn't care that he has a non-blood brother. Moreover, although he has not spent a long time with this child, he can feel that this "brother" is polite and knows when to advance and retreat. It is enough to use him to save face.
...
...
As everyone knows, the Jing family is a small family, and no one knows what kind of curse they have suffered, but they have only one son for four generations, and even the heads of the family are all playboys.
After much difficulty, their generation had two sons, but the second son turned out to be such a bastard that he killed himself.
He didn't mind the other person being his younger brother, but if he came to this family with a purpose...
Jing Rong then slowly spoke: "I went to investigate this morning, but I couldn't find out your identity. Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to our house?"
When Jing's father heard what was said, his expression became even uglier. He almost forgot about this incident, so he looked at Jing Cheng with some vigilance.
"Yes, explain it to me clearly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Jing Cheng: “…” He had the look of a kind and amiable father just now, but in the blink of an eye, his expression changed to a ferocious one.
This reminded him of the day when the patriarch passed away many years ago. Several elders and all the descendants of the Jing family gathered in the patriarch's room and witnessed with their own eyes the scene of him accepting the patriarch's order. At that time, everyone was respectful to him and regarded him as the leader.
But on the first day after the seventh day after the death of the head of the family, the elders turned against him and made excuses for all kinds of reasons, refusing to acknowledge him as the new head of the family.
The children of the Jing family did not know the reason, but followed the elders' lead and excluded him in all aspects.
Not long after that, he was expelled from the family.
It seems that the Jing family's "face-changing characteristics" are indeed inherited from the same lineage.
But to be honest, they definitely wouldn't believe it... If he said directly, "I am the ancestor of your family. I accidentally fell when I was going down the mountain and traveled through time here," he dared to believe that Jing's father's first reaction would be to kick him out, and maybe even send him to the police station.
He has been in this era for more than a month and has learned some ways of the world. People nowadays don't believe in ghosts and gods like they did a hundred years ago. They believe in science more.
What happened to him was so shocking that he didn't want to be sent for sliced-up research.
Jing Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I am a mountain man. I just came down the mountain a month ago. I happened to see the kidnappers holding the Second Young Master hostage. Then there was an explosion. When I woke up, everyone said I was the Second Young Master Jing. They didn't give me a chance to refute."
Jing Rong looked strange: "...What did you say? Mountain man?"
He suddenly remembered what Assistant Wang had told him before. When they found the Second Young Master, he was wearing a coarse linen shirt with holes in it and straw sandals. His hair was neither long nor short. He looked like a savage living in the mountains. The people in the hospital even asked him if the Second Young Master was filming with some crew.
Jing Rong hadn't seen his brother for several months at that time, and didn't know what he was doing. He didn't take Assistant Wang's words to heart, and just asked someone to clean up for him and not to embarrass their Jing family.
Now it seems that the other party did not lie.
That’s right. If a normal person knew that Young Master Jing had a bad reputation, how could they choose to be a substitute for such a person?
Jing Cheng nodded, recalling the content of the novel his deskmate had read in class, and continued: "My ancestor was a heavenly master, who was quite famous a hundred years ago. He followed the principle of 'not leaving the mountain in troubled times' and had been practicing in the mountains. Now it is a peaceful and prosperous time, so I came out of the mountain."
Jing Cheng's words were half true and half false, and he was also trying to test Jing's father.
As expected, Jing's father frowned: "Which mountain were you on before?"
"Taiyin Mountain." Jing Cheng answered, and seemed to have thought of something, and added, "Jing family."
Jing Rong was surprised: "Your last name is Jing too?"
Jing Cheng nodded. Although he had been expelled from the Jing clan ancestral hall, he had once had this surname after all.
Father Jing was silent for some reason. After thinking for a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "How many members of the Jing family are there in the mountain? Who are your parents?"
"My parents died young, and now I am the only one left."
Hearing this, Jing Rong looked over and saw that the young man had no trace of grief on his face and his tone was normal, as if he had already gotten used to it.
A complex emotion surged in his heart, and he inexplicably felt that this young man must have suffered a lot.
Father Jing: "What about the others?"
Hearing this, Jing Cheng looked at his father deeply and replied expressionlessly: "I left the mountain and changed my job several decades ago."
“……” Father Jing choked.
If he still had some doubts just now, now it is completely confirmed.
The child in front of him was a member of their Jing family, but he was one of the few Jing family descendants who chose not to leave the mountain.
No wonder people don't want to be his son. When the Jing family split internally, it was a huge riot and the two factions have never had any contact with each other since then. Although Jing Zhensong did not experience it, he had heard about it from his parents.
But didn't that faction die out more than a decade ago? How come there are still descendants left?
Jing Rong was surprised to see his father's face changing unpredictably and he seemed to be feeling a little guilty.
The most shameless person in this family is Jing Zhensong. This old guy actually still feels guilty?
Jing Cheng suddenly said something surprising: "I am going down the mountain for another very important matter. I want to know who made the decision to mine Taiyin Mountain?"
Jing Cheng looked seriously at the middle-aged man opposite him. As far as he knew, the Jing family started out in real estate, and real estate is a money-burning industry. Where did the Jing family get so much money back then?
His first thought was that the Jing family had sold Taiyin Mountain.
You know, the Jing family has been guarding Taiyin Mountain for generations, and even the rulers of all dynasties are well aware that the mountain is full of illusions, and outsiders can only wander around the periphery and have no way of entering the depths of the forest.
But now, Taiyin Mountain has been designated as a scenic area. People come and go, and anyone can go up the mountain to take pictures and have fun!
No matter whether he is dead or alive, he must find this person. Even whipping his corpse will not be enough to vent his hatred!
"... This," Jing's father's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "I'm not sure. Um... I've never heard of the Jing family of Taiyin Mountain. My ancestors were poor peasants for generations, and we have a good family background. I've never heard of the Jing family of Taiyin Mountain, right..."
Before he could finish his words, he was defeated by Jing Cheng's straight gaze.
Jing Rong couldn't stand it any more. What did they mean by their ancestors were poor peasants? Weren't their ancestors landlords?
His grandfather made his fortune by selling a large piece of land. This information is recorded on the Internet and is known to everyone in the industry.
Jing Cheng said slowly, "To be honest, there were some bad-tempered creatures imprisoned at the foot of Taiyin Mountain, but they were released by some people's mining activities. It took the Jing family a lot of effort to catch them. Those creatures finally saw the light of day again, and they might take revenge. I heard that Shangjing City seems to be not very peaceful in recent years."
Father Jing seemed to recall something and his expression changed.
Jing Rong was confused by the evasive conversation between the two. After hearing what Jing Cheng said, he was surprised: "What kind of creature is it, a tiger? A lion? Why haven't I heard of any animals running out of the mountains?"
"..." Jing Cheng paused and said, "It's scarier than tigers and lions."
Tigers and lions can at most bite a few people, but these brutal and cruel creatures will wreak havoc on the world if they show up.
It can be seen from the Jieyou Shop that if he hadn’t taken action, Nanming Middle School would probably have become a ghost school in a few years.
He couldn't imagine where those creatures would be hiding in the dark, spying on these ignorant mortals, ready to strike out their claws and give them a fatal blow at any time when they were least prepared.
Thinking of this, Jing Cheng thought that the Taoist Association was not so useless. At least it could cut off the source of the trouble, the Jieyou Shop.
Father Jing hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision: "I will help you check this matter, don't worry. You just said that you just came down the mountain, you must have no place to live, right? I won't take back what I said before, you can continue to be the third young master of our family, as for whether to recognize me as your father, it's up to you."
Mr. Jing's expression was sincere and impeccable. If Jing Cheng hadn't just witnessed his "face change", he would have really thought he was a broad-minded and kind person.
Businessmen value profit over friendship, and Jing Zhensong is a leader among businessmen, so naturally he will not do anything without profit.
He just said it in front of the reporters, and it will definitely be all over the news tonight. Of course, he can't go back on his words right away.
Furthermore, if what this kid just said was true, then he must keep the person here, at least there is a guarantee of safety.
The last descendant of the Jing family's Heavenly Master must of course belong to their Jing family.
Jing Rong didn't know what Jing Fuan was thinking, but this decision was exactly what he wanted.
Jing Rong is different from his father. He feels sympathy for the boy's plight.
He even felt that the young man in front of him was his biological brother, and the previous devil was a fake.
Previously, he had mistaken the boy for his trash brother and had never treated him well. His sarcastic words made him embarrassed, but the boy still did not bear a grudge and instead generously gave him a talisman. It can be seen that the boy is a kind-hearted child.
Seeing that the boy was still hesitant, Jing Rong gave him a strong prescription: "You don't have an ID card and a household registration, so you are an illegal resident. In today's society, you can't do anything. Even if you go to a hotel, you need your ID card to register, unless you choose to sleep on the street."
Jing Cheng: “…………”
Jing Cheng remembered that he had read some legal books before, and it seemed that there was indeed such a rule.
In the world a hundred years later, there are still many rules and regulations.
Father Jing observed his expression and said quickly: "These are all trivial matters. Just register the person in our household registration book. The ID card can be obtained this afternoon."
The father and son of the Jing family looked at Jing Cheng at the same time, their eyes full of expectation.
Jing Cheng really had no way to refute this time. It was quite strange that there were still people who were eager to be someone's father or brother these days.
Jing Cheng thought that it must be because his personal charm was too strong that people were reluctant to leave.
But it is definitely impossible for him to call Jing Zhensong dad.
Jing Cheng looked at his father with pity and said, "You will shorten your life."
…
It takes a long time to process an ID card, so during this period Jing Cheng can only use the ID card of Mr. Jing.
The name was chosen randomly to distinguish him from Young Master Jing.
Lu Qingyi later realized that she had made a foolish move, but she didn't dare to pick a fight with Jing Cheng again.
She never could have imagined that this little liar could actually fool Jing Zhensong into becoming confused and becoming the adopted son of the Jing family in the blink of an eye.
He is also protected by Jing Rong, the first heir of the Jing family, like a calf.
Lu Qingyi could only be a quail obediently.
The happiest person in the family is Jingyue. She has a brother who is a Taoist priest. It’s so awesome!
She boasted about Jing Cheng to everyone she met, praising him to the heavens and the earth, to the point that Jing Cheng almost became a legend in the circle of upper-class socialites, but that is a story for later.
Right now, the most important thing for Jing Cheng is to pack up and prepare to go to the ancient city.
During this period, he asked for divination, and the hexagram showed "bad luck".
He had a feeling that this journey might not be easy.
