Otherwise, Xiao Chen would have been harassed by the Cheng family every day, and it would have been impossible for him to be as free as he was now.
"Second Uncle …" Xiao Chen called out, and his heart ached a little. He said that he didn't care about the identity of the Xiao family, but that was to comfort himself. Even though he was a cultivator at the 6th level of the Refinement Stage and had the strength comparable to a Level 7 Inner Force Warrior, Xiao Chen still felt that he was a member of the Xiao family.
"Xiao Chen, I know that you may hate Second Uncle in your heart, and you may not understand, and you may be reluctant to call me Second Uncle, but Second Uncle actually has his own difficulties!" Xiao Hai sighed and said, "Today, I asked Brother Cheng to meet you, because I want to make it clear to you! You might not understand why you were implicated by my elder brother's false rumors. Why didn't your grandfather, your uncle, or Xiao Xiao get involved? Why did he only drive you out of the Xiao Family? "
"I understand that the son should pay his father's debts." Xiao Chen grinned, "Second Uncle, I am not unwilling. In fact, as long as I know that you did not deliberately drive me out cold-bloodedly, I will be satisfied. At least I am much better than Tang Tang. If I am useless, I will be driven out, and if I am useful, I will get back!"
"Your Uncle Cheng is also here today. In fact, he knows about this. At the beginning, I asked him to take care of you, so you went to Mengying and became her servant. This is not an insult to you, but a disguised protection for you. Otherwise, the Cheng family will not be able to vent their anger, and your life will be very difficult." Xiao Hai continued, "At the beginning, I did not tell you this, in fact, I was afraid that you were not calm at that time. But after this period of observation, I think you have regained your calmness, and you should be able to understand our difficulties before."
"Of course I understand." Xiao Chen smiled and said, "In fact, on the day Uncle Cheng came to me, I had already thought it through. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Cheng."
Xiao Hai looked at Cheng Zhongming in surprise, and saw Cheng Zhongming nodding, he was a little surprised! Cheng Zhongming did not mention this before, but now it seemed that Xiao Chen had known it all along.
"Xiao Chen, our Xiao family now has the help of the Sun family, and now we are gradually turning the situation around. When our Xiao family is at its peak again, it will be time for you to return to the Xiao family!" Xiao Hai walked over, patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said, "It can be considered as God's blessing for the Xiao family, allowing the Sun family, which originally could have risen in power, to suddenly lose so many people. This has given our Xiao family a great opportunity!"
"En, I believe that the Xiao family will definitely get better." Xiao Chen thought in his heart, this Sun family … Are they really that kind? This family is a little shameless … But it's okay, since they dared to cheat the Xiao family, I'll just let the white fox send your whole family on horseback riding again.
"But at this stage, you still have to suffer for a period of time." Xiao Hai said, "But with your Uncle Cheng looking after you, there shouldn't be a problem! Your Uncle Cheng has also agreed to try his best to delay the issue of Mengying's marriage. When the time comes for you to return to the Xiao family, your marriage will still be valid! "
"Ah?" Xiao Chen was suddenly stunned! Me … and Young Miss, there will still be a day? But … what about Goddess Shen?
"Hmph, who wants to marry him? I don't want to have a boyfriend now." Cheng Mengying said with a slightly red face.
"Hehe, it just so happens that Cao Yuliang made a big fool of himself. Now it's not easy to connect with the Cheng family through marriage." Cheng Zhongming said, "I don't know why Cao Yuliang went crazy that day."
Cheng Mengying glanced at Xiao Chen and blushed a little.
Xiao Chen now finally knew why Young Miss said those words in the car. It was probably that Cheng Zhongming had talked to her in advance, so Young Miss was considered to be on his side, so it was reasonable for her to cheat Lou Zhenming with him.
But, in the future, do I really want to resume the marriage with Young Miss? However, if Young Miss were to marry someone else, Xiao Chen's heart was definitely not willing. This kind of possessiveness was very strange.
"Xiao Chen, but there is another piece of bad news. This may affect the marriage between you and Cheng Mengying." Speaking of this, Xiao Hai paused and continued, "The marriage between the Cheng family and the Xiao family must be put on the agenda. Of course, I am talking about the matter between Cheng Mengqiang and Xiao Xiao! Today, the Cheng family discussed this matter at the family meeting. Cheng Zhongfan plans to bring Cheng Mengqiang to the Xiao family to propose marriage in a few days! "
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was slightly stunned! Is it really not possible? Then, isn't there no hope for Qi Zhigao?
"The Cheng family will offer a lot of conditions, but your grandfather insisted that you return to the Xiao family. On this point, there is a conflict with the conditions of the Cheng family, so both sides are not willing to give in. This matter is temporarily put on hold, but your Uncle Cheng said that this time, it seems that the Cheng family is not so determined. As for the specifics, Old Master Cheng didn't say anything. We will know in a few days." Xiao Hai continued.
"It doesn't matter if I go back or not. The important thing is that Xiao Xiao doesn't like Cheng Mengqiang!" Xiao Chen said, "I think Qi Zhigao is not bad!"
"Qi Zhigao … I asked Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao can only say that she doesn't hate him. If she has to choose between the two, she will choose Qi Zhigao." Xiao Hai shook his head, "I asked her who she likes, but she didn't tell me. Of course, your grandfather may not pay attention to her opinion! You are the root of the Xiao family. If you return to the Xiao family, the Xiao family can prosper in the future. Otherwise, the Xiao family will have no successor. If you don't come back, the Xiao family will cease to exist after some time. "
"Second Uncle, please persuade grandpa. I'm really fine! It doesn't matter whether I go back or not. " Xiao Chen still had a plan. The decline of the Xiao family was only temporary. Once one day, he could look down on Songning with the strength of the White Fox without using the identity of the White Fox, all the resources behind him would be invested into the Xiao family. At that time, the first aristocratic family in Songning would be the Xiao family.
"Alright, since you insist, I will go and persuade him!" Xiao Hai nodded, "When the Xiao family regains its glory, even if Cheng Mengqiang and Xiao Xiao are together, it won't affect the relationship between you and Cheng Mengying. After all, a strong alliance will allow the two families to cooperate more closely."
"Well, let's not talk about this. I'm hungry. Let's eat something!" Xiao Chen didn't want to talk too much about this topic. He really didn't care about it.
The knot in his heart had been untied. It was enough to know that the Xiao family didn't abandon him. It didn't matter whether he went back in name or not! If he wanted to go back now, even if he used the identity of the White Fox in front of everyone, no one would dare to say no. But Xiao Chen didn't think it was necessary.
What Cheng Zhongming and Xiao Hai didn't expect was that Cheng Zhongfan brought Cheng Mengqiang and Old Master Cheng to the Xiao family! This time, even Old Master Cheng went. It was enough to show the importance that the Cheng family attached to the marriage!
Cheng Zhongfan deliberately chose a time when Cheng Zhongming wasn't at home to do these things. If Cheng Zhongming was here, he would always find some reasons to object. Now that Cheng Zhongming wasn't here, it was convenient for him to settle the matter. When he came back, there would be nothing to say!
Cheng Zhongfan actually knew that Cheng Zhongming and Xiao Feng had a good relationship back then. So, Cheng Zhongming definitely didn't want Cheng Mengying and Xiao Chen to break off the engagement. If Cheng Mengqiang and Xiao Xiao got married, unless the Xiao family became as strong as before, it would be impossible for them to get married twice in a row. That was unrealistic.
So, Cheng Zhongming had always been a little opposed to the marriage between Cheng Mengqiang and Xiao Xiao. This time, he didn't bring him.
Xiao Yuanshan was a little surprised that the Cheng family came with so many people. When he saw Old Master Cheng, he immediately stood up to welcome him, "Old Master Cheng, have you thought it through? Are you planning to let Xiao Chen return to the Xiao family? "
After Cheng Mengying's banquet, the Cheng family began to frequently contact the Xiao family. It was just that the two families' conditions weren't the same, so it was temporarily put on hold. But today, it seemed that the Cheng family intended to compromise and carry out the final negotiations? Otherwise, why would Old Master Cheng come personally?
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, you are still so anxious!" Old Master Cheng smiled, "But you are right. This time, we indeed intend to agree to this condition. But, isn't your Xiao family going to make their stand? When are you going to let Xiao Xiao marry into the Cheng family? "
This condition was stuck here. At first, the Cheng family didn't want to compromise, but the Xiao family didn't want to compromise either. So, it was a stalemate. But Cheng Mengqiang thought about it. Anyway, Xiao Chen's temporary return wouldn't affect killing him. He was going to die sooner or later, so what's the harm in agreeing to it first? It was just a name! However, there had to be a condition. They couldn't let Xiao Chen return so quickly. After all, Xiao Chen had returned to the Xiao family. With the Xiao family's protection, it would be even harder to kill him!
So, this time, they came to set the condition!
"What does it have to do with this?" Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but ask.
"It has a lot to do with it!" Old Master Cheng said, "For the sake of fairness, I'm afraid that your Xiao family will go back on their words. The day that Xiao Xiao marries into the Cheng family will be the day that Xiao Chen returns. How about it? But, our two families have decided on the marriage first. This can be written in the engagement document to prevent both of us from going back on our words! "
"Oh?" Xiao Yuanshan frowned. Logically speaking, what Old Master Cheng said was reasonable. But the main problem was, wasn't it too long? Xiao Xiao was currently in middle school. When she could marry into the Cheng family, she would be at least 18 years old, right? There were still a few years left. Could there be any unforeseen events in between?
"Sure." Xiao Yuanshan didn't say anything. Xiao Xiao walked out of the house and looked at Cheng Mengqiang, "But it has to be written clearly. If it's because of your Cheng family that leads to the cancellation of the engagement or other situations, this agreement will still be in effect!"
Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but nod. That's right. There was a precedent of the Cheng family cancelling an engagement. If the Cheng family were to cancel the engagement again and not admit the matter of Xiao Chen's return, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
