Home/ The White-eyed Wolves I Personally Raised Are All Coveting My Legacy/ Chapter 12
The old butler’s expression suddenly changed. Even if Yu Zheng and Si Yang don’t get along, Si Yang is still Yu Zheng’s adopted brother after all, and he carries the Yu family’s reputation with him when he goes out. Yu Zheng took the initiative to lead others to demean him, so what’s the difference between Yu Zheng and the others who are trying to degrade the Yu family?
What’s more, Si Yang was wholeheartedly thinking about Yu Zheng.
The old butler was trembling with anger, wanting to speak but couldn’t.
Yu Zheng, however, poured him a cup of tea with great interest, “If I don’t go tomorrow, the Second Young Master of the Shi family will have to call someone to pick me up. You can’t stop me, so just forget about it. Why are you bothering with a junior like me at such an old age?”
The housekeeper said with difficulty, “I will tell the eldest young master about it.”
“Really!” Yu Zheng doesn’t care at all, “Then what? Call him to teach me a lesson, or lock me up at home and not allow me to go out?”
“Then the whole circle will find out about the heart of a wolf hidden under Si Yang’s skin, wouldn’t that be interesting?”
“Don’t go too far.” Yu Zheng whispered to the old housekeeper, “You can tell Si Yang that even though I can’t compare to him in any way after he took away all the money and power, he still has to leave me some dignity as a young master of the Yu family.”
The old butler felt cold all over by his resolute look in his eyes. Seeing Yu Zheng go upstairs, he turned around and called Si Yang, “It’s not good, young master, young master is really…”
The old butler gasped for a while before he managed to straighten out what he was going to say, and said a few words that make sense.
“Don’t get angry, the young master is just too sad…” The old butler finally expressed his concern for Yu Zheng. After all, whether it’s Si Yang or Yu Zheng, he took care of them when they were young and looked after them as his own grandchildren.. He felt sorry for anyone who got hurt, seeing the two of them at odds like this, Si Yang’s body was already at the end of his strength, and Yu Zheng still wanted to stab Si Yang with a knife to death. Just thinking of this, the old butler was about to collapse.
However, Si Yang was very calm, “Let him go!”
“What?”
“Give him my secondary card and let him go tomorrow!”
“…” The old butler was confused and didn’t understand why Si Yang did this.
The younger brother is ignorant and inexperienced, and the older brother is unrestrained, even offering him money voluntarily.
Those bastards who mess around in Nancheng garden are full of five poisons, and they always like to play big! There is nothing they dare not do. What is the difference between Yu Zheng going there like this and courting death?
Is Si Yang really not worried at all?
I am afraid these two brothers have really gone crazy.
The old butler returned to the bedroom in a daze and didn’t fall asleep all night. But Si Yang and Yu Zheng, who were the main culprits, both slept comfortably.
Early the next morning, Si Yang went to the company to handle business as usual, as if he hadn’t received any notice from the old butler yesterday. But he gave the secretary some extra instructions, “Don’t arrange anything after four o’clock in the afternoon, I will go to the old house.”
As for Yu Zheng, he led the new driver to Nancheng Garden. Before leaving, he said, “Go to Gu house first, and pick up Gu Quan.”
“I haven’t said hello to the Gu family yet…” The old butler was also in the car, and his mind was buzzing again. Did Yu Zheng give up on himself, and even wanted to take the young master of the Gu family with him to play around?
Yu Zheng played it down, “What’s wrong with saying hello? Can’t we just go and do it now?”
Extremely ruthless, the old butler’s face turned red and white, and in the end he could only stay silent.
The Gu family let Gu Quan go easily, after all, Gu’s father had already instructed them yesterday. Gu Quan got into the car, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Nancheng Garden
About an hour’s journey, the car stopped in front of a carved yellow pear wood gate.
It is precisely the destination this time.
“You wait here, we will go in by ourselves.” After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he left the old butler who was still trying to stop him, and headed inside with Gu Quan.
This was the first time that Gu Quan had traveled so far since returning to Yanjing, and it was also the first time he had seen such an ancient courtyard other than his own, which made him dizzy.
Yu Zheng approached, and whispered to him, “Once we are inside, as long as I don’t move, don’t drink if anyone offers you alcohol. Don’t follow anyone who pushes you.”
“En.” Gu Quan nodded in agreement.
“This place is full of the most playful bastards of Yanjing. If I get caught inside, find a way to inform the old butler waiting outside. He would get me out.”
Yu Zheng’s voice was light and fluttering, almost dissipating in the wind, but Gu Quan’s hairs stood on end, and he could smell the scent of a Hongmen banquet [a banquet where treachery is involved intending to harm the guests] from his cautiousness.
These playful young masters had come out alive in the family struggles; it means they are smart people. If Yu Zheng wants to blend in with them, he must first let them see his weight clearly.
Gathering because of profit is the principle of survival in the wealthy circle that has not changed since ancient times. And these inextricable connections, gathered little by little, will be the foundation for Yu Zheng to compete against Si Yang in the future and eventually bring him down to regain his family business.
The garden is very large, with three entrances and three exits. Several people are lying on the armchairs in the small courtyard. They are all dressed like humans but their behavior is like dogs, and their faces are full of traces of wine and lust.
“What’s wrong, am I late?” Yu Zheng smiled naturally, without any hint of stage fright.
“Who is this!” Someone asked the person who was teasing a bird in the middle, that is, Shi Ershao, the second young master of the Shi family.
At that time, the second young master raised his head and looked up at Yu Zheng, but he didn’t answer immediately, but patted the face of the handsome young man beside him “Why don’t you invite young master Yu to sit down?”
“Don’t, how can you bother the second young master.” Obviously there is someone here who doesn’t like Yu Zheng, so he pushed his companion beside him casually, “you really have no eyesight! This is the young master of the Yu family. If you caught his eye, your days wouldn’t be bad. Don’t you know that Yu family has a mountain of gold.”
“Hahahahaha, yes, yes, you go too, and serve Yu Shao!” The others also laughed, pretending to encourage their companions in their arms.
The Yu family changed their surname a long time ago, and Yu Zheng is a pitiful little chick picked up from the village. Including Gu Quan, an illegitimate son behind him, even if he put on bright clothes, he couldn’t hide the rustic atmosphere in his bones.
These few young masters liked to mess around, and they thought Yu Zheng and Gu Quan was the new fun that Shi Ershao had found for them.
And the companions beside them are also human spirits after all. The one who came over first, reached out to Yu Zheng.
“Young Master Yu is really good-looking. I’ve rarely seen someone as beautiful as you.” He said, leading Yu Zheng inside, “Let me serve you once, consider this a reward for me!”
“Really? How are you going to serve me?” The smile on Yu Zheng’s face didn’t change at all.
The man didn’t expect Yu Zheng to be so calm, he froze for a moment, then pretended to pick a cherry from the table and put it in his mouth. He vaguely wrapped his arms around Yu Zheng, wanting to feed him mouth to mouth.
“!” Gu Quan was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to push the person away, but was held down by Yu Zheng.
Looking at Yu Zheng’s face again, he saw that the man’s lips were about to touch, but Yu Zheng suddenly pushed the person away, and slapped him hard on the face with his backhand.
Cherry rolled to the side of the chair with a gurgling, while the young man hit the ground heavily, his head buzzing for a long while without recovering his senses.
The small building instantly became quiet, and Shi Ershao also put down the handsome young man in his arms and sat up straight, “I said Yu Zheng, what kind of play is this?”
Yu Zheng found an empty seat on his own, and then continued, “Brother Shi, didn’t you know from the first day that I’m timid. Wouldn’t this sudden approach startle me?”
“Are you hurt?” Yu Zheng’s softened his brows, his eyes looking extremely clean and gentle. Looking at him, he can even coax a seasoned veteran to fall for him.
“No, I am fine.” The person was still dizzy, but he kept staring at Yu Zheng intently.
Yu Zheng shook his head, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip with a calm demeanor.
Shi Ershao sighed, looked at the few people sitting beside him, “I told you he has a bit of temper, but you wouldn’t believe me. Is it still look like a rabbit that doesn’t have teeth?”
This sentence was half true and half false, but it opened up the atmosphere of the venue.
Those who were excited quickly approached Yu Zheng, and the two of them hooked his shoulders, “What you’re saying is that it’s us brothers who are rude. Yu Shao, don’t take it to your heart, this brother apologizes to you.”
A few minutes ago, they all looked down on him, but in a few seconds they became familiar. This group of people turned faces faster than flipping books, and there were even two people who insisted on giving a meeting gift to Yu Zheng and Gu Quan.
Yu Zheng behaved generously, and recognized everyone one by one. They called brother and uncle smoothly, but this time, no one dared to underestimate him.
Where is Nancheng Garden? Yu Zheng dares to come here, it only means, either he is an idiot, or he has the confidence to handle himself.
If Shi Ershao had invited him, obviously it couldn’t be the former, then it must mean that Yu Zheng have an unknown trump card against Si Yang.
It seems that the Yu family’s pool of water is really not all that calm.
Tea is just used here as a fake gesture, they just tasted it casually, and switched to wine in the blink of an eye.
Not far away, someone was singing a song with a mellow voice, fine threads spreading throughout the atmosphere. But these young masters just listened to it as background music. When the food and drink were brought out, they all hug their companions and let them go.
“I heard an interesting news last time. It is said that the girl from the Xu family is looking for someone to marry?”
“The Xu family is a good family, who are they looking for?” Shi Ershao lit a cigarette and smoked slowly.
“Who else could it be, of course it’s Gu Da!”
The Xu family is Yu Zheng’s maternal grandmother’s family, and Gu Da is Gu Quan’s nominal eldest brother. However, Gu Quan himself is from the Gu family, but he has never heard of the marriage between the two families. Suddenly, he felt a bit restless, but before he had time to say anything, a hand was pressed on his leg, Gu Quan looked over, and Yu Zheng shook his head slightly at him.
Gu Quan lowered his head and tried hard to pretend that he didn’t exist.
However, those people didn’t stop talking, “If you ask me, the girl from the Xu family doesn’t have to marry into the Gu family. There are many good-looking and capable young men in the circle, Gu Da can’t even be ranked anywhere. It’s a pity though that they have offended the one who is really the most good looking and powerful.”
“Who is it?” Someone asked curiously.
This person didn’t even close his mouth, and directly revealed it, “Si Yang.”
Everyone suddenly looked at Yu Zheng.
Shi Ershao also teased him, “Isn’t it a good thing to have a close relationship between two families?”
Yu Zheng, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard him, and calmly ate the food on his plate. It wasn’t until several seconds later that he looked up and said, “wouldn’t we be committing incest if the girl from Xu family marries into the Yu family?
