Hearing his son's words, Hong Yuanwai was so angry that his face turned purple and his lips trembled. His symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage became apparent again. He trembled for a long time before saying in a trembling voice, "You … You, come here."
Ye Xiaotian was knocked away by Daheng and struggled to get up from the ground. His heart was filled with hatred. "Damn it, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have remembered where the door was opened in my panic."
Daheng was like a child who had done something wrong and slowly moved towards Hong Yuanwai. At this time, Ye Xiaotian also got up and walked towards them. Hong Yuanwai twisted his son's ear and shouted, "You evil creature, you have caused a great disaster. Instead of thinking about it, you dare to go out without permission."
Ye Xiaotian thought, "Ah! This sentence sounds so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before? Yes, when Shuiwu told Yaoyao about the Journey to the West, those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas said this sentence every time they protected their own demons from Wukong. "
Just as Ye Xiaotian was thinking about this, Steward Hong was already twisting Tycoon's ear. He said to Ye Xiaotian in a friendly tone, "My son is naughty and mischievous, causing a great disaster. I will bring him back and discipline him strictly. I hope Sir Warden will forgive me for causing so much trouble."
Ye Xiaotian thought, "Sure enough, Hong Yuanwai has the same thoughts as those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who protect my son."
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, I am not here to cause trouble for your son. To tell you the truth, I and your son are like-minded. Uh … we have already become sworn brothers."
Hong Baichuan's eyes widened and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground. He said in shock, "Ai Dian Shi, are you kidding me? You … you and this naughty little bastard … became sworn brothers?"
Law Tycoon tilted his head and his father pulled his ear and said loudly, "Yes, father, Ai Dian Shi is my sworn brother. Father, let go of me. I will be embarrassed if my brother sees me like this. "
Hong Baichuan's cheek twitched violently. He could not imagine how his son, who could make him angry every day, could become sworn brothers with the fourth leader of the county government. Hong Baichuan's mind was in a mess and he had completely lost the ability to think.
Ye Xiaotian was afraid that he would ask about the details of their swearing, so he quickly asked, "Just now, Yuanwai said that my brother caused a great disaster. What did he do?"
Hong Baichuan looked at him and asked curiously, "Doesn't the Warden know about the duel between the two schools of Huang Daxian Ridge tomorrow?"
"Ah! Yuanwai was referring to this matter.
Ye Xiaotian felt a little guilty. Although this matter was Law Tycoon's fault, he had a lot to do with it. If he didn't ask Law Tycoon to find a way to stop the students from fighting, there would be no Huangxian Ridge duel tomorrow.
Ye Xiaotian quickly said, "Of course I know about this matter. Speaking of it, you can't blame the tycoon. Those students are really naughty. Even without the tycoon's words, they would have caused a big mess sooner or later. "
Hong Baichuan sighed and said, "Warden, even if they turn the world upside down, as long as it has nothing to do with my family, I will not care. But this matter happened because of the tycoon, so I can't help but worry. I wanted to make this kid reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, but who knew he would jump over the wall and escape … "
Law Tycoon turned his head and said, "Father, you have to be trustworthy. I said in public that day that I will be a notary. If I don't show up at that time, won't I be breaking my promise? "
Hong Baichuan seemed to be unable to control his emotions whenever he saw his son. He immediately flew into a rage and said, "Shut up! You little bastard, you really want to anger your father to death! You're breaking your promise? You're breaking your promise? You're already fat enough right now! "
Law Tycoon resentfully shut his mouth.
Ye Xiaotian pulled a long face and said to Hong Baichuan, "Yuanwai Hong, since your son and I are sworn brothers, then I should call you uncle. You also don't need to call me Warden, just call me … Little Tian. Hehe, this is my childhood name. Also, you don't need to keep calling me a bastard or a little bastard. In any case, I'm the tycoon's sworn brother. If he's a bastard, then what am I? "
Law Tycoon was in the right, so he immediately said confidently, "Yes, father, I'm your son. If you scold me, I have nothing to say. But my elder brother is the county's Warden. If you scold him, it's too unreasonable. "
Hong Baichuan's body shook violently. He seemed to be so angry that he almost fainted. He took two deep breaths, and a kind of sadness suddenly enveloped his whole body. He said to Ye Xiaotian in a somewhat desolate manner, "Look at my son. I've been a hero all my life. I built such a big family business with my bare hands. I didn't expect him to have much success. I just wanted him to keep this family business and live peacefully. Who knew that he … "
Ye Xiaotian remembered that he was frightened when he was young and became abnormally timid. He didn't dare to fight for anything and was often bullied by others. He felt sad and hurriedly comforted him, "Uncle, don't be sad. Tycoon is indeed not scheming. But he's still young. Although his body has grown, his mind is not mature yet. Besides, he's simple and honest. Even if he can't meet uncle's expectations, he's still better than those rich playboys and second generations. "
Hong Baichuan sighed and said helplessly, "Now I can only comfort myself like this. To tell you the truth, it was Professor Gu who told me about the duel between the scholars at Wong Tai Sin Ridge. Only then did I know that he got into trouble again. And I asked Professor Gu. Tycoon is in the county school … "
"Forget it. He's not cut out for that. I don't want to force him to go to school. I had promised his deceased mother that I would train him to be a scholar. Alas! Let's not talk about this. I'll ask him to learn business from me in the future. Tomorrow's matter at Wong Tai Sin Ridge … "
Law Tycoon couldn't help but smile when he heard that his stubborn father finally stopped forcing him to go to school. But when he heard about Wong Tai Sin Ridge, he immediately said, "I want to go! Father, you have to keep your word! You have to finish what you started! No matter what happens in the future, I have to go to Wong Tai Sin Ridge tomorrow. "
Hong Baichuan smiled bitterly and said to Ye Xiaotian, "You see, anyone who has such a precious son would be angered to death by him."
Ye Xiaotian said, "Tycoon really can't not go tomorrow. He's the notary. He won't be involved in the fight between the two sides, so there won't be any danger. If he doesn't go, those scholars aren't idiots. No matter how the matter ends tomorrow, they will inevitably come to find trouble with him. "
Hong Baichuan puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Of course I know they are uneducated and unruly people. But no matter how arrogant they are, they won't barge into my house to kill and rob, right? I won't let my son go to the county school anymore. I'll just avoid them in the future. "
Ye Xiaotian said, "They were born and raised here. Sooner or later, they will inherit the positions of the leaders of the tribes in the nearby mountains. Squire Hong's home is also here. Is running away a solution? Squire, it's true that you love your son, but can you shelter him from wind and rain now? Can you shelter him forever? He'll have to grow up and face it all on his own. "
Hong Baichuan was silent for a long time. He slowly let go of his son's ear and sighed, "How can I not understand what you're saying? It's just that as a parent, in the end … Forget it. Let Tycoon go. I believe that the Warden will not sit by and watch those scholars fight and cause a massacre."
In truth, Ye Xiaotian didn't have much confidence. However, his understanding of these scholars was limited. Everything else he knew was based on hearsay from others. He believed that since these scholars didn't have any enmity of life or death, even if they were mocked and humiliated, they wouldn't be willing to put the other party to death. The farce tomorrow was probably caused by the unwillingness of the youths to admit defeat. When the time came, he would bring the bailiffs and citizens up the mountain. With the help of Inspector Luo and the patrol officers, the situation wouldn't escalate.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian said, "Uncle, don't worry. Tycoon will be fine."
Law Tycoon rubbed his ear and said happily, "Dad, I really don't need to go to school anymore?"
Hong Baichuan was completely disheartened just now. That was why he said that Tycoon wouldn't continue to study. But as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Back then, he had personally promised Tycoon's mother that he wouldn't let Tycoon follow his parents' old path. He would only let Tycoon be a dutiful ordinary person, study, and live a peaceful life.
But his son really wasn't cut out for that. As a father, he had thought of all the methods and done all the hard work he could. His son just wasn't interested in studying. As a father, what could he do? Thinking of Tycoon's mother, Hong Baichuan felt miserable and his eyes unconsciously became wet.
Back then, he and Tycoon's mother fell in love at first sight and were very loving. But even when the two of them were pregnant with Tycoon, Tycoon's maternal grandfather didn't acknowledge them. Tycoon's maternal grandfather even sent people to capture them and take them back. He wanted to kill them in public and separate them from each other.
At that time, Tycoon's mother was already pregnant. She stubbornly beat her stomach in front of her biological father and fought back with the determination of one dead body and two lives. Only then did the old man relent and angrily let them go. From then on, the father and daughter were no longer in love and never saw each other again.
Tycoon's child was so stubborn and silly. Perhaps it was the root of his illness at that time. Although Hong Baichuan always treated his son like an enemy, he actually doted on him a lot. Tycoon's mother's dying wish was something that Hong Baichuan did his best to fulfill.
But his son …
Tycoon looked at his father with hope. Seeing his son's expectant gaze, Hong Baichuan's heart suddenly softened. He thought to himself, "My son's mother hoped that Tycoon would live a peaceful life and know his place. But … that doesn't mean that he must be literate. Since he has no interest in studying, why don't we let him give up studying and go into business?"
Tycoon looked at Hong Baichuan eagerly and pleaded, "Father …"
Hong Baichuan sighed and said, "Forget it! Tomorrow, you will first follow your sworn brother to Wong Tai Sin Ridge and settle that bastard matter. When you come back, father will give you a business deal. If you can successfully complete it, you don't have to study anymore. You can just focus on your business! "
