"How is that possible?" Xiao Chen coughed twice.
"Forget it. You go!" Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person!"
Xiao Chen didn't want Xiao Xiao to go with him because he had other plans. He planned to go to the Cheng family first!
Although he was hostile to the Cheng family, his relationship with Miss Cheng was subtle. Xiao Chen also wanted to find out the attitude of the Cheng family and make preparations as soon as possible.
Especially Cheng Tianqiu's attitude toward him. Previously at the family banquet, he said that he would betroth Cheng Mengying to him (Xiao Chen). Now, he wanted to see if he would acknowledge it. This also directly determined Xiao Chen's overall attitude toward the Cheng family in the future.
Out of courtesy, Xiao Chen bought some gifts and drove to the Cheng family's mansion.
There were also many people who came to the Cheng family to pay New Year's greetings. After all, the Cheng family was the first in Songning. Many people in Songning relied on the Cheng family to make a living. Now, the cars queuing at the door had already lined up outside the mansion.
However, Xiao Chen didn't care so much. He drove the car directly to the front and parked the front of the car at the exit of the mansion.
The cars were all queuing at the entrance. Xiao Chen didn't want to queue, so he naturally entered from the exit.
The Cheng family's gatekeeper was slightly surprised, but he knew Xiao Chen. During Cheng Mengying's birthday party, Xiao Chen made a big scene at the door. They all saw it.
"Young Master Xiao, you are …" The disciple knew that the Xiao family and the Cheng family weren't on good terms. He didn't know why Xiao Chen came at this time.
"I'm here to visit Grandpa Cheng and Uncle Cheng. Please open the railing." Xiao Chen said faintly.
"This …" The disciple didn't dare to make the decision. He went back to the security booth and dialed Cheng Zhongming's number.
"Young master, Xiao Chen is here. He wants to visit you and the old master. What do you think …" The disciple asked carefully.
"Oh? Xiao Chen is here? Let him in! "Cheng Zhongming hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
After all, in the family, only Cheng Zhongfan had a grudge against Xiao Chen. Speaking of Old Master Cheng, Cheng Tianqiu, and Xiao Chen were his benefactors, so Cheng Zhongming had no reason to stop him.
Xiao Chen drove into the Cheng family's mansion under the envious gazes of the cars lining up there and stopped at the door of the Cheng family's main living room.
In fact, not every guest of the Cheng family could come to the main reception room. Before entering, the disciples at the door would inquire about the guest's identity and arrange a place for them to stay.
They might be received by Cheng Zhongming, Cheng Zhongfan, or they might not see the important figures of the Cheng family at all, so they just put down the gifts and left.
The only people who could be personally received by Old Master Cheng were the patriarchs of the other clans. However, Xiao Chen was an exception.
Cheng Tianqiu had already learned from Cheng Zhongming that Xiao Chen was here, and Cheng Zhongfan had also sent away the guests in front of him. As soon as he came to the main reception room, he saw Xiao Chen swaggering in.
"Uncle Cheng, Grandpa Cheng, Miss Cheng, long time no see!" Xiao Chen smiled and greeted Cheng Tianqiu, Cheng Zhongming, and Cheng Mengying, but he deliberately ignored Cheng Zhongfan and Cheng Mengqiang.
"Xiao Chen is here …" Cheng Tianqiu's expression was a little unnatural. He looked at Xiao Chen, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face. He already knew that Xiao Chen was Xiao Qiang and that he was his savior, but how did the Cheng family treat the Xiao family?
Although he was a little rash, and he was angry at the Xiao family for losing Cheng Zhongqian, now that Xiao Chen was his savior, a life for a life. This way, the Xiao family really did not owe the Cheng family anything.
And he had previously promised Xiao Chen that he would betroth Cheng Mengying to him, but now …
Miss Cheng's mood was also a little complicated. Her hands clenched the corner of her clothes tightly. She really did not expect that Xiao Chen would come to the Cheng family today to pay a New Year's visit. She did not know if Xiao Chen was here to cause trouble.
In her heart, she really did not want Xiao Chen to have a conflict with the Cheng family! However, some things did not go according to her wishes. The Cheng family, step by step, was pushed by Cheng Zhongfan to go against the Xiao family.
However, what could she do? It was true that she was Xiao Chen's fiancée, but she was also a member of the Cheng family. She was really in a difficult position. She did not want either side to be hurt, but who would listen to her?
To be honest, when she found out that Xiao Qiang was Xiao Chen, she felt a burst of joy in her heart. It was as if she had eaten honey. She did not know if she liked Xiao Chen, but she knew that she was very comfortable and happy when she was with Xiao Chen.
Knowing that the Cheng family had done a lot of things to let the Xiao family down, Miss Cheng, who had always been arrogant, also lowered her head at this moment. She did not dare to look directly into Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Old Master Cheng, I wonder if you still remember me?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"This … Haha, how could I forget? Young Hero Xiao, how have you been? "Cheng Tianqiu was stunned and smiled awkwardly.
"Uncle Cheng, Missy, Happy New Year!" Xiao Chen greeted again. Then, he pretended to suddenly discover something. "Ah! Isn't this Cheng Zhongfan? And your silly son? What the hell are you two doing here? "
A hint of anger flashed across Cheng Zhongfan's face, but Cheng Mengqiang shivered and lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Xiao Chen. He was too afraid. Seeing Xiao Chen gave him a psychological shadow.
"Xiao Chen, don't be complacent! Don't fantasize about anything. Your Xiao family is finished this time! I have already reported this to the sect. The sect will punish you! " Cheng Zhongfan stiffened his neck and simply stopped pretending. He shouted at Xiao Chen sternly. Of course, the louder his voice was, the more timid he was at the moment.
Slap! Xiao Chen did not care. He raised his arm and slapped Cheng Zhongfan's face, sending him flying. He landed heavily on the ground, twitched twice, and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"You … You …" Cheng Zhongfan rolled his eyes and spat out blood. He was speechless.
"Xiao Chen, you are too presumptuous!" Cheng Tianqiu flew into a rage. "Even if you are the Young Hero Xiao who saved me, you are too unreasonable!"
"Old Master Cheng, please calm down. I believe there are still some things you do not know? My father's disappearance was caused by Cheng Zhongfan. It was done by the Kuishan Faction behind him! " Xiao Chen smiled coldly. "My father took the blame for him for so long. I believe Old Master Cheng should understand why Uncle Cheng Zhongqian also disappeared!"
"Hmm?" Cheng Tianqiu had never heard of such a secret before. He was stunned for a moment, and his anger toward Xiao Chen dissipated quite a bit. However, an unknown fire surged in his heart!
Could it be Cheng Zhongfan? How could this be? Cheng Zhongqian's death was caused by Cheng Zhongfan?
If he did not know that Cheng Zhongfan was so capable, Cheng Tianqiu would not have believed it. But now, it seemed that Cheng Zhongfan was so extraordinary that he would definitely not be willing to let Cheng Zhongqian take over! He was a member of the sect, so he could not be the head of the family in the secular world, but his son could!
Thinking of this, Cheng Tianqiu looked at Cheng Zhongfan and asked, "Is what Xiao Chen said true?"
"Father … He … He is slandering me!" Cheng Zhongfan roared. "How could I harm my brother?"
"Xiao Chen? Do you have any proof? "Cheng Tianqiu calmed down and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Hehe …" Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He took out his phone and played the recording.
"… Our sect is called the Kuishan Faction. It's a Devil Cultivation Sect. As for why, I don't know. They only told us to deal with the Xiao family as much as possible to lure out the person they are looking for. They won't tell me the specifics, and I don't dare ask! "
"Then what else do you know? What kind of training mission did my father go on? "
"I don't know. The entire mission was arranged by the Kuishan Faction for my uncle. I only know that they went to the Blazing Mountain ruins in the Hakunamata Desert to explore, but I don't know the specifics. I didn't ask either. "
The conversation between Cheng Zhongfan and Xiao Chen could be heard through the phone's speaker. Cheng Tianqiu's expression turned ugly. His entire body trembled as he pointed at Cheng Zhongfan with bloodshot eyes. "Unfilial son, unfilial son! So that matter was orchestrated by the Kuishan Faction! To think that I treated them like distinguished guests … "
"Haha! So what if it was? " With the evidence in front of him, Cheng Zhongfan didn't deny it. He laughed maniacally. "I'm not afraid to tell you that it was my uncle who did it. He's your brother, and he's not a good person either! Old thing, you probably don't know, right? I'm actually my uncle's illegitimate son. You idiot, you don't even know that your own brother has slept with your wife? Hahahaha … Gah! "
Cheng Zhongfan's words came to an abrupt halt. He covered his mouth in horror, and his eyes were filled with horror! Just now, he seemed to have subconsciously received a psychological hint, which was to admit it!
He subconsciously admitted it, but even though he admitted it, he didn't know why the truth slipped out of his mouth, and he regretted it the moment he said it!
Xiao Chen was also a little stunned. He had only influenced Cheng Zhongfan's thoughts to admit the truth because Xiao Chen didn't want to waste time with him. Who would have thought that this guy would say so many things that he didn't know!
"What?!!!" Cheng Tianqiu's body trembled uncontrollably. He almost lost his mind!
Cheng Tianqiu's brother, Cheng Tiannu, was actually an adopted son of the Cheng family. He was Old Master Cheng's servant when he was young. Cheng Tianqiu would never have thought that Cheng Zhongfan was actually the illegitimate son of Cheng Tiannu and his late second wife!
He also didn't expect that Cheng Tiannu would seek refuge with the Kuishan Faction! This truth made him blink!
"Hmph, so what if I said it? I'm not afraid of anything! I'm not afraid to tell you, old thing. Now that the Kuishan Faction has chosen the Cheng family, you can't refuse even if you want to. You can only admit it! " Cheng Zhongfan didn't hide anything anymore. He laughed wildly. "If you dare to go against me, you'll be going against the Kuishan Faction!"
