Chapter 71 The Zheng Family
Sikong Xinrong pulled his leg out of Liu Qingmei’s arms and frowned, “Your good son has brought shame to the Sikong family, this is all your responsibility!”
“Father, this is all my fault. I didn’t teach him well. He has been so weak since he was young, and he can’t afford the punishment.”
Liu Qingmei cried out.
Snap!
Sikong Xinrong ignored her and once again brought the whip down on Sikong Xing, his face still expressionless, “He must take the blame for the mistakes he made on his own. No one should help him.”
Sikong Xing gave a stifled grunt. He grimaced, his eyes were about to bulge out. He seemed to feel his soul being pulled out of him, and immediately afterwards he lost consciousness when he simply blacked out.
Sikong Jie and Liu Qingmei hurriedly went forward and hugged him, “Xing!”
“Father, Xing has fainted.” Sikong Jie’s eyes were red as he pleaded.
Only then did Sikong Xinrong put away the whip, and the muscles on his pale face twitched a few times.
He certainly felt heartbroken. Sikong Xing had grown up beside him and was his best grandson. Although, as the head of the family, Sikong Xin had tried to be fair, and for the future head of the family he never said anything, for him, Sikong Xing had been his choice for the position.
He didn’t expect something like this, and he really felt heartbroken.
Sikong Xinrong waved his hand, “Send him back to his room.”
“Quick. Carry him back to his room!” Cai Ru, that housekeeper, hurriedly instructed the servants at the side.
Several servants hurriedly went forward and carried Sikong Xing back to his room, and Liu Qingmei also followed them over.
After the people left, Sikong Xinrong frowned at Sikong Jie, “Have you investigated the whole thing?”
“Yes.” Sikong Jie nodded his head.
Then he told Sikong Xinrong everything, including what happened between Sikong Xing and Yao Cen, what happened at the auction, and later, how Sikong Xing and Zheng Yongzhang planned together to kill Xiao Shun and kidnap Yao Cen.
“Just for a woman. Useless thing.” Sikong Xinrong snorted coldly and said.
“That Yao family had also given themselves enough airs recently. Isn’t Xing better than a loser?” Someone said.
“Shut up. If you still think he’s just a loser now, then you’re stupid!” Sikong Xinrong scolded.
That person was dumbfounded.
The fact that he dared to make a blatant move against the people of the two families was enough to prove something. No trash could be so bold to do such a thing.
“Father, we can’t just let him go like this!” Sikong Jie said.
“Since that Xiao Shun is not a waste, have you investigated his background?” Sikong Xinrong asked.
“He was brought back to the Yao family by Yao Changhe back then. Because our time was limited, we only found out what happened in the past three years.” Sikong Jie replied.
“Keep checking.” Sikong Xinrong said cautiously.
“Yes, I’ll tell them to find out every detail about this Xiao Shun.” Sikong Jie gritted his teeth and said.
Just then, the butler Cai Ru came in and said, “Master, the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yunhe wants to see you.”
Sikong Xinrong already knew what he was here for. He thought for a moment and said, “You bring him to the main hall, and I’ll be there after a while.”
Cai Ru nodded and then hurriedly left.
…
Xiao Shun naturally did not know what happened between the Zheng family and the Sikong family, and the next few days he had some peaceful days. Only those days were just too peaceful, and he felt a little strange instead.
He only hoped that they had really given up. As long as they never came to him, Xiao Shun naturally would not bother to ask for trouble.
On this day, he went to Goodhealth to buy herbs as usual and returned to the villa to adjust his recipe.
Liu Yunxiang had already placed a variety of not-so-harmonious flowers in the originally elegantly decorated villa, and she even planned to grow vegetables in the garden in the courtyard.
Xiao Shun simply let her do whatever she wanted.
He lived in the mountains back then, and later when he followed his master around on his travels, he had already lived in all kinds of places as well, so a house meant nothing more than a shelter for him. As long as he had walls on all sides and a roof over his head, then it’s fine and she could do whatever she wanted.
The reason why they hadn’t moved in yet was mainly because of Yao Jianguo. The place they used to live was only two or three stops away from his university. If they moved here, it would turn into an hour-long bus ride, so he’d been hesitant.
“Xiao Shun, isn’t that for Yao Cen? But I’ve never seen her drink it?”
They had been getting along quite well lately, and Liu Yunxiang spoke in a much friendlier tone than before.
“Uh…”
Xiao Shun kind of regretted telling that lie.
No wonder they said that as long as you lied, you had to use more lies to cover up the initial one. So he planned to end the lie, and sooner or later Liu Yunxiang would have to know about the truth anyway.
“Mom, actually, we bought a pharmaceutical company, and now I’m testing our formula.”
Xiao Shun said and was kind of chicken hearted. He had even inwardly braced for a whole day of rumbling.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Liu Yunxiang froze for a moment and said, “Is that the bankrupt company on TV the other day?”
“Yes.” Xiao Shun nodded his head.
But unexpectedly, this time, although Liu Yunxiang looked gloomy, she did not get directly furious.
Starline Bio had been in this city for over twenty years, and Liu Yunxiang had already heard of them.
That company would cost them at least a few million, and that would be her daughter’s entire savings. No wonder she was so busy recently, so this was what they had been up to.
Liu Yunxiang of course knew that they just didn’t want her to worry, but she was still curious and asked.
“How much did you pay for that company?”
Xiao Shun was a little nervous. If he said it cost them a hundred million, would she just pass out? But, he remembered the lesson he just learned, and, even if she fainted, he could still save her!
“One hundred million.” He said honestly.
“One hundred million?” Liu Yunxiang gave a light hum.
“You can’t get one hundred million even if you have sold you two. You just don’t want to tell me, right? Well, watch out for your pennies anyway, before you can’t even put food on your plates.”
Xiao Shun sighed in relief. He’d told the truth anyway.
He grinned and said nothing else.
“By the way, we’re going to an engagement party tomorrow. It’s Yao Cen’s cousin. You met her last time.” Liu Yunxiang remembered what happened last time and said to him with a frown.
“Don’t you say any nonsense this time.”
So fast? Xue Cheng just left the hospital a few days ago.
Xiao Shun was confused.
Maybe he had learned something after such an experience.
