The Cheng family was located in the third district of Galloping Horse City. This district was inhabited by high-ranking officials and rich people. It was a famous high-class residential district. Bai Zhihu also lived in this district, but it was a bit far from the Cheng family.
The third district was also a semi-enclosed area. Ordinary citizens could only enter with a pass. In the past, Gao Zhengyang had to apply for a pass to enter and exit. Now that he had the Medal of Valor, he had the authority to enter and exit as he pleased.
The Medal of Valor raised Gao Zhengyang's citizen rank to level four, which was already a very high rank. Under normal circumstances, only university professors and mid-level government officials could obtain such a high citizen rank.
The Cheng family's mansion was very imposing. The black alloy railings formed a long wall that stretched as far as the eye could see. Through the railings, one could see the verdant lawn, exquisitely trimmed shrubs, and flowers. Beautiful parasol trees were planted on both sides of the main road.
There was also a huge fountain in the middle of the road. The water sprayed out was tens of meters high. Under the virtual sunlight on the dome, the water vapor emitted a faint rainbow light.
The small white building revealed a corner of the fountain and rainbow light, but it showed the extravagance of a rich and powerful mansion.
"Your house is very imposing!"
Gao Zhengyang stood in front of the main door and exclaimed. Compared to the Cheng family, Bai Zhihu's family was like the nest of a rich landlord in the countryside. It looked good, but it was full of rustic taste and was very stingy.
Living in such a mansion, it was no wonder that Cheng Qingyun spent money like water. She didn't even blink when she threw away hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Cheng Qingyun was a bit embarrassed and explained, "This was left behind by my grandfather. He liked this style …"
Cheng Qingyun's grandfather was also a powerful person. He was a collateral relative of the Cheng family in Tianjing. He ran to Galloping Horse City in a fit of anger because of a conflict with the main branch of the Cheng family. After struggling here for many years, the Cheng family became a local aristocratic family.
Of course, this achievement was inseparable from the support of the Cheng family in Tianjing. This was also the fundamental reason why the Cheng family could maintain a high status in Galloping Horse City.
Although the Cheng family was a branch family that had been banished, they still considered themselves to be a rich and powerful family with many rules. Cheng Qingyun actually hated these rules. They were too restrictive for her. Of course, she also enjoyed a lot of power.
If she hadn't met Gao Zhengyang, even if Cheng Qingyun wasn't very satisfied with this kind of life, she would just be an online streamer for a while. However, after encountering Gao Zhengyang, Cheng Qingyun's way of thinking underwent a drastic change.
It was not because she had fallen in love with Gao Zhengyang, but because she had learned knowledge and abilities from Gao Zhengyang and gained confidence. She found her own value and meaning.
From then on, Cheng Qingyun was no longer the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, but Cheng Qingyun herself. That was why Cheng Qingyun had chosen Gao Zhengyang and gone to Orion Star Sector with him.
In fact, her family didn't know anything about her, let alone support or oppose her. Cheng Qingyun arrived at the Orion Star Zone and reported the situation to her father.
At that time, Cheng Ye did not say much. He only told Cheng Qingyun to go home as soon as possible. Her mother missed her very much.
Cheng Qingyun didn't dare to talk to her mother either. Compared to her calm and steady father, her mother was more aggressive and talkative. Speaking was like chanting an incantation, it was extremely terrifying.
After a few months of peace, she still had to go home. Cheng Qingyun was really afraid of her mother. This time, she brought Gao Zhengyang along, hoping that he could share some of the burden.
After being away for so long, Cheng Qingyun also needed an explanation. Eloping for love was a pretty good reason. The atmosphere in the Alliance was very liberal, especially when it came to love and marriage. No matter how much the parents objected, they couldn't forcefully interfere.
Cheng Qingyun felt that Gao Zhengyang was thick-skinned, vicious, and big-hearted. He was the best person to use as a shield. Moreover, this matter had something to do with Gao Zhengyang.
She told Gao Zhengyang, "My mom talks a lot, so you just have to bear with it. My father doesn't talk much, but he's more picky and strict. "
"It's fine, I'm a middle-aged friend. Your parents will definitely like me! "
Gao Zhengyang was very confident that he could solve any problem.
Cheng Qingyun was very doubtful. Gao Zhengyang was smart, but she didn't think he was good at interpersonal relationships. He usually used acting cool to suppress others. If the other party still didn't agree, he would probably kill the other party.
She thought for a while and said, "If you really can't take it anymore, um, send me the signal, and we'll leave."
"I won't," Gao Zhengyang said confidently, "I'll definitely hit it off with Auntie and Uncle …"
"You're such a bad guy, I don't believe you."
Cheng Qingyun snorted, pushed the door open, and walked into the courtyard with Gao Zhengyang.
A middle-aged man walked out of the guard room next to the door. He was very happy to see Cheng Qingyun. "Third Miss is back …"
"Hello, Uncle Zhong, this is my boyfriend, Beichen."
Cheng Qingyun was very close to Uncle Zhong, and she even introduced him to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang noticed that Uncle Zhong didn't have a robot mark between his eyebrows. This guard was actually a natural person. His mental strength was also not bad, and he was also a Star Master.
Using a Star Master to guard the door, he was indeed from an aristocratic family. There were actually a lot of Star Masters, because there was no war, a large number of graduates had nowhere to go. But very few Star Masters were willing to guard the door.
Uncle Zhong smiled and nodded at Gao Zhengyang, but he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and called an electric car. Cheng Qingyun pulled Gao Zhengyang into the car, and then waved goodbye to Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong nodded slightly, and watched the car go far away before he reported through the communication system, "Third Miss is back, and she even brought a male companion called Beichen. Third Miss calls him her boyfriend … "
Cheng Qingyun was a generous and lively person, and she was very friendly to people. Everyone in the Cheng family liked her very much. Her sudden disappearance caused a commotion in the Cheng family.
Especially Cheng Qingyun's mother, Hao Fengjiao, who had scolded Cheng Ye countless times in private. But Orion Star Region was too far away, and the Cheng family didn't have much influence in the military, so they couldn't do anything even if they knew Cheng Qingyun was there.
Hao Fengjiao wanted to go to Orion Military Academy herself several times, but she was stopped by Cheng Ye. The exchange program at Orion Military Academy wasn't a bad thing, and Cheng Qingyun was very stubborn. She really didn't want to come back, and forcing her would only ruin things.
In the past few months, Hao Fengjiao had accumulated a lot of resentment. Hearing that Cheng Qingyun was back, Hao Fengjiao was excited. She wanted to teach Cheng Qingyun a lesson and let her know the consequences of making mistakes.
Cheng Ye looked at Hao Fengjiao, who was full of fighting spirit, and felt annoyed. This woman was getting older, and she was no longer cute and obedient when she was young. Instead, her temper was getting worse.
"We are the Cheng family, and we have our own manners. If you have anything to say, wait until the guest leaves, okay? "
Cheng Ye and Hao Fengjiao discussed, and he didn't want the scene to be too ugly. As an aristocratic family, they naturally had the bearing of an aristocratic family.
No matter what opinions they had about Cheng Qingyun's boyfriend, it was too embarrassing to make a scene in public. People with good manners wouldn't do such a thing.
"What kind of guest is he? He's just a village brat … "
Hao Fengjiao was very disdainful. Whether it was his background or ability, Gao Zhengyang didn't deserve any respect. She didn't want to be polite to such a brat.
"He's Bai Zhihu's student, and just because of this, he should be treated with respect."
Bai Zhihu was currently in a fierce battle with the aristocratic families, and because of this, he had great influence. Cheng Ye was actually Bai Zhihu's junior, and their relationship had always been good. Cheng Ye could look down on Gao Zhengyang, but he couldn't not give face to Bai Zhihu.
"Bai Zhihu is just messing around. What does other people's business have to do with him? Now that the Galloping Horse is in a state of chaos, and everyone is in a state of panic, he's happy!"
Hao Fengjiao was also very dissatisfied with Bai Zhihu. During this period of time, the Galloping Horse City was in a state of mutual hostility, and the atmosphere was especially tense, making her not dare to go out.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Cheng Ye said with a sullen face, "I already told you, don't bring your group of relatives to mess around. Those businesses aren't something you can touch! "
"If I don't touch them, where would the money come from!"
Hao Fengjiao sneered and said, "With your family's small business, you can't even afford this garden."
"Hur Hur, what you earn is still what you spend."
Cheng Ye didn't want to talk about this issue, and he couldn't argue with this woman, so he said, "Anyway, if you have anything to say, say it to your daughter. Don't say it to outsiders."
Hao Fengjiao saw that Cheng Ye was really a little angry, and she relaxed her expression, "Don't worry, when did I embarrass your Cheng family?"
A robot servant knocked on the door and came in, "Madam, Master, Third Miss is waiting with her friend in the small living room on the second floor."
"Got it."
Hao Fengjiao waved her hand and sent the robot servant away. She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. The wine red embroidered dress was very close to her body, and it perfectly outlined the lines of her figure. The wine red color was slightly darker, and it made her look more mature, and it also made her skin look even whiter.
Hao Fengjiao turned around, and after confirming that there were no problems, she smiled in satisfaction and walked downstairs. Even if she was going to quarrel, she still had to dress beautifully and appropriately. This was how a noble should be.
Cheng Ye followed behind and silently sighed. This was good, he couldn't do anything about this superficial wife of his. This gorgeously dressed posture, if one didn't know better, they would think that she was going to have an affair.
Who asked him to be blind back then? The wife he found himself could only grit his teeth and stubbornly endure it.
Hao Fengjiao walked down the stairs with graceful steps, and she deliberately stopped at the foot of the stairs. This position was very advantageous for her to look down.
Cheng Qingyun also saw her mother. She pulled Gao Zhengyang and stood up together to welcome her. But when she saw her mother's sexy dress, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, looked as usual. With a bright smile, he bowed to Hao Fengjiao and greeted, "Hello Auntie, my name is Bei Chen, Qingyun's boyfriend."
Hao Fengjiao originally wanted to throw a look at Gao Zhengyang, but Gao Zhengyang was extremely handsome. His black eyebrows were long and curved, his nose was straight and elegant, and his mouth was straight and thin. His skin was fair and had a jade-like luster, and when he smiled, his white teeth were dazzling.
Especially his eyes, which were both black and bright, pure and clean. When people met his eyes, they felt as if they were going to sink into his eyes. The well-fitting dark blue military uniform made the young man's tall and strong body look even more heroic.
Hao Fengjiao didn't know how many men she had seen in her life, whether they were high-ranking officials or nobles, or heroes and powerhouses, but all of them combined were not as good-looking as Gao Zhengyang.
As a woman, Hao Fengjiao was undoubtedly a visual creature. When she saw such a handsome man, the anger in her heart had long disappeared, and there was only one thought left in her mind: This person is so good-looking …
Seeing Hao Fengjiao in a daze, Cheng Qingyun felt even more ashamed. What was wrong with her mother? Did she like her son-in-law?
"Mom …" Cheng Qingyun reminded her, and only then did Hao Fengjiao come back to her senses.
Hao Fengjiao glanced at Cheng Qingyun and said, "You went out to have fun, and you still remember to come back."
"I didn't." Cheng Qingyun still wanted to explain, but Hao Fengjiao had no intention of listening. She smiled at Gao Zhengyang and said, "So, you're Beichen. You're indeed a man of striking appearance."
Hao Fengjiao said to the servant beside her, "Go make the master's Yunwu tea …"
Cheng Qingyun was dumbfounded. She glanced at Gao Zhengyang, wondering if Gao Zhengyang had cast some kind of spell on her mother. Yunwu tea was Cheng Ye's treasure. Only a distinguished guest like Bai Zhihu would brew a pot of it for a guest.
Yet, Hao Fengjiao took the initiative to brew Yunwu tea for Gao Zhengyang. This was too abnormal.
Cheng Qingyun glanced at the side of Gao Zhengyang's face and suddenly realized how good-looking Gao Zhengyang was. From this angle, it was simply a perfect side profile. She wanted to question him, but she immediately forgot about it.
"You're a guest, please take a seat."
Hao Fengjiao sat at the head of the table and gestured for Gao Zhengyang to sit down. Her attitude was unusually warm and polite.
Gao Zhengyang smiled, took out an exquisite mahogany box from his pocket, and handed it to Hao Fengjiao with both hands. "This is my first time visiting, so I prepared a small gift for Auntie. Please accept it."
"You and Qingyun are good friends, so you're family. You don't have to be so polite. "
Hao Fengjiao didn't care about the gift, but she was very satisfied with Gao Zhengyang's attitude. Her face was like a flower.
Cheng Ye, who had just come down from upstairs, couldn't help but frown. Did she have to smile so exaggeratedly just to receive a gift? Wasn't she just about to throw a cold face? Her face changed so quickly.
For many years, Cheng Ye had never seen Hao Fengjiao smile at him like this. He actually felt a little upset. This old woman's smile was so unreserved. What was she trying to do?
Cheng Ye was a little angry when he thought of this. Since Hao Fengjiao was pretending to be a good person, then he had to pull a long face. He had to put some pressure on Bei Chen and Qingyun, lest they think that what he did was right.
Cheng Ye's gaze turned to Gao Zhengyang, deliberately putting on a sullen face. He had been the chief judge of Galloping Horse City for many years, so he was very dignified when he put on a sullen face.
"Hello, uncle." When Gao Zhengyang saw Cheng Ye coming, he hurriedly got up and bowed to greet him. The smile on his face was like the sun at nine in the morning, bright and warm.
Cheng Ye's cold face, which was like the coldest winter in the world, involuntarily melted when Gao Zhengyang smiled. He almost instinctively smiled. "So you're Bei Chen. I've heard Old Bai mention you before. You're really handsome and have an extraordinary bearing. Old Bai has good taste. "
Looking at Gao Zhengyang, Cheng Ye's mouth uncontrollably flowed out of his mouth, which made Cheng Qingyun even more surprised. Her father had a deep character. He didn't get angry easily, but he also didn't laugh easily, and he didn't praise people easily.
What was going on now? Were her parents possessed? But looking at them, although it was a little abnormal, they were abnormally clear-headed.
Gao Zhengyang took out a black gift box from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Ye. "Uncle, this is a small gift. I hope you like it."
Cheng Ye nodded. It was a very formal etiquette to give a gift when visiting for the first time. The weight of the gift wasn't important. What was important was the thought and etiquette.
"This kid is not bad." The more Cheng Ye looked at Gao Zhengyang, the more he liked him. He felt that it was not bad to have such a son-in-law.
On the other side, Hao Fengjiao had already opened the gift box. She knew that Gao Zhengyang came from a poor family, so she didn't have much hope. She was just curious about what he gave her.
As soon as the gift box was opened, a cold green light shone out. Hao Fengjiao felt as if a cold wind had brushed past her, and her body suddenly felt much more refreshed.
Even Cheng Ye, who was beside her, felt his mind calm down and suddenly became a little more clear-headed. He looked over in surprise and found that there was a green jade pendant in the gift box.
The pendant was the size of a child's palm. It was engraved with a goddess scattering flowers. The goddess was elegant and smart. She exuded an ethereal aura as if she could fly to the sky at any time.
However, this carving was the work of a master. With just a few strokes, the image of the goddess was completely outlined. The material of this jade was obviously the green jade of the Jade Yuan Planet. It was pure and translucent. The pure energy radiating from it could purify the spirit and star power. It was obviously a top grade jade.
According to the market price, this jade alone was worth 20 million. It was hard to estimate the value of the goddess carving on it. In Cheng Ye's eyes, this carving was even more valuable than the jade itself.
Hao Fengjiao liked this kind of luxury. Although she couldn't tell how good the carving was, she knew how valuable this green jade was. There was no need to mention the pleasant surprise in his heart.
Although the Cheng family was extravagant, their annual expenses were very high. Hao Fengjiao only had two or three pieces of jewelry like the goddess pendant. They were all her treasures. She would only wear it on important festivals or banquets.
Hao Fengjiao was pleasantly surprised that someone of Gao Zhengyang's background could give such a luxurious gift. She picked up the pendant and carefully played with it. Then she smiled and said to Gao Zhengyang: "This gift is really expensive. You are very thoughtful."
"As long as Auntie likes it."
Gao Zhengyang said very modestly: "I don't understand these things. I just thought that the green jade is good for the body and very beautiful."
Hao Fengjiao sighed: "Not only is the quality of the jade top grade, the carving is also at the level of a master. It's really rare."
"The jade was bought by a friend, but the goddess was carved by me. I took the image of the goddess. I'm a beginner, please don't laugh at me."
Gao Zhengyang bowed his head slightly, as if he was a little ashamed of his craftsmanship.
Hao Fengjiao was even more surprised. The goddess was actually carved by him. The carving was too good. The key was that the form and spirit were both perfect.
Cheng Ye was even more surprised, "This goddess is pure and beautiful. She was actually carved by you. Amazing, amazing!"
"Uncle is overpraising me. I don't deserve it." Gao Zhengyang's humility was very sincere. This made Cheng Ye and Hao Fengjiao have a good impression of him.
Cheng Qingyun understood Gao Zhengyang too well. She knew that the more he said this, the more he didn't know how to show off in his heart!
Cheng Ye was also a little curious about his gift. He opened the gift box and discovered that there were actually two grade 8 Star Cores.
The grade 8 Star Cores emitted a pure and vigorous star power, making Cheng Ye a little uncomfortable. Although the Cheng family was rich, they couldn't afford to use grade 8 Star Cores to cultivate their mental power.
Looking at the two blue and perfectly round Star Cores, there were four words engraved on them. One was: The law has heaven's justice and the other was: The law has human feelings.
These eight words were very simple, but they covered the core content of the law. The handwriting was very upright and had its own atmosphere.
Cheng Ye was even more shocked. This boy's gift was both extravagant and had the core! This student of Bai Zhihu was a little too amazing …
