Home/ The White-eyed Wolves I Personally Raised Are All Coveting My Legacy/ Chapter 7
There were footsteps downstairs, belonging to the housekeeper and the maid. They should be looking for the person who was eavesdropping.
Yu Zheng stood up in a daze, and ran upstairs. It wasn’t until he returned to the room that he lay on the bed paralyzed, trying to calm down his restless self.
His heart was beating very fast, especially in this quiet night, even to the point that it seemed a little noisy and Yu Zheng lost even the most basic thinking ability. He didn’t even know how to answer if the butler knocked on the door and asked him a question.
By the way, question…
Yu Zheng picked up the phone, and what caught his eyes was the word “OK” that Si Yang sent him.
He said… he wouldn’t lie to himself. A businessman keeps his word, this is the first thing Yu Zheng learned after he came back. So, no, definitely not, Si Yang won’t lie to him.
And during this long night, the housekeeper didn’t catch up at the end. I don’t know if he really didn’t notice it, or he didn’t come here on purpose. After all, what Si Yang ordered, he has already completed.
The room was as quiet as a lonely tomb in the wild, and Yu Zheng curled up on the bed like an abandoned stray dog, poor and lonely. He continued to strengthen the crumbling line of defense in his heart, but in the end it was difficult to repair the broken wall, and he could only let it collapse.
It wasn’t until the dawn of the sky and the arrival of morning that Yu Zheng got up from the bed, washed his face, cleaned up all his fatigue, and walked downstairs with the same posture as usual.
But the difference is that he didn’t go to morning exercise immediately, but sat on the sofa in the hall and called Si Yang. But for the first time he didn’t get through.
“Young master?” A maid came over to say hello but was ignored.
Yu Zheng turned a deaf ear to even the words of the old housekeeper. He just looked at the phone persistently and dialed Si Yang’s number over and over again.
“Sorry, the user you dialed has been shut down…”
Dial again.
“Sorry, the user you dialed has been shut down…”
Dial again.
“Sorry, the user you dialed has been shut down…”
Facing a cell phone that was turned off, he had to wait for the other party to turn it on. It was useless to make repeated calls like this, but Yu Zheng seemed to have lost his mind. Calling the same number over and over again, this state of paranoia is quite different from usual.
“What’s wrong with the young master…” A maid felt that something was wrong and was very worried.
But the housekeeper shook his head and signaled them all to go out. He was already sure that it was Yu Zheng who eavesdropped on their conversation last night.
In the corridor, someone came from the kitchen to ask, “Are there any special arrangements for this morning? If not, should we just follow the original plan?”
The housekeeper sighed, “Let’s make something light and delicious…”
The old house of the Yu family is about to change, what he can do now is not to make life too difficult for Yu Zheng. After all, he is the young master of the Yu family, and he will preserve the basic self-esteem and face for Yu Zheng as Si Yang said.
In the lobby, Yu Zheng, who had been unable to get through to the phone, finally waited until Si Yang got up to turn on the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Si Yang’s sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone, it was very warm at first glance.
He usually speaks with a smile, even if he is messing around, his breath through his throat will bring a little gentleness. And Yu Zheng often enjoys warmth from these hidden details.
From the first day he came back, he naturally adapted to this living habit.
But this time, he had to ask clearly.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Zheng asked the question that tortured him all night, “Brother Si Yang, if my parents can’t come back to see me, can I go and see them?”
Then he held his breath, waiting for Si Yang to answer.
In the village, Yu Zheng also met many brothers who fought for the land.
The Yu family’s property is an amount that he can’t even imagine. If his parents are really gone, a true prince like him who stayed in the village until now is simply not enough for Si Yang to play with with one finger.
Si Yang wants Yu’s Group, as long as he raises himself like a bird in a cage, no one can shake his trust in Si Yang.
In other words, Si Yang is actually doing the same thing now. The delicate warmth in the past, after a night of calm and cocooning, has also turned into complete indifference.
But even so, Yu Zheng still had extravagant hopes for Si Yang, hoping that all of this was false and that Si Yang was sincere to him. He didn’t say anything about his parents because he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable. In other words, he simply misheard, his parents are still alive, but they are delayed somewhere, or maybe they live in a more distant foreign country.
He desperately wants to know the truth. So he tentatively asked Si Yang again: “Brother, can I?”
Yu Zheng was filled with apprehension, as if he was waiting for the final judgment. He felt that what he could guess, Si Yang could also guess. And Si Yang’s attitude can explain everything.
But Si Yang quickly replied, “It’s ok!”
“Really?” Yu Zheng thought he was calm, but this sentence still brought a cry that he didn’t even realize himself.
“Really, you have breakfast first, and I will pick you up later.”
“Yeah. Brother Si Yang, I love you.” Yu Zheng was really excited to the extreme, his face was also full of smiles, and his eyes seemed to contain shattered stars.
Si Yang agreed, and he agreed without hesitation, which proved that he was not afraid of letting him meet his parents, and also showed that Xu Mingquan was just trying to sow discord. And Si Yang’s feelings for him are also true.
But Yu Zheng has forgotten another possibility. The “Wolf in the Mountain” is never afraid that the little rabbit in his arms will know the truth. After all, the rabbit has no ability to escape or resist.
At this moment, Yu Zheng was still very happy because he was lucky, and didn’t know what was waiting for him next.
After Si Yang hung up the phone, he also contacted the secretary immediately.
“This morning’s trip is canceled.”
“Yes, what do you need to replace it with? Do you need to make an appointment in advance?”
“Yes.” Si Yang’s rare tone was a bit more nostalgic, “Call Qiulu Cemetery and say we are going to visit around ten o’clock.”
The secretary on the other end of the phone seemed taken aback, and it took several seconds before he responded, “Yes, I’ll make an appointment right away.”
Putting down the phone, Si Yang walked to the closet, looked at the clothes one by one, and finally took out a pure black suit from inside.
Si Yang: “It fits pretty well. I thought that because of being sick, I should be a little thinner than before.”
But the always talkative system only replied a “QAQ” to him, obviously already starting to feel sentimental about the next plot.
But Si Yang has no intention of changing his mind. For Yu Zheng, his relatives have long since disappeared in this world. If he doesn’t learn to move forward on his own, is it really possible to survive in this Shura field surrounded by wolves?
Si Yang went downstairs and asked the driver to go back to the old house. On the way back, he got out of the car and went to a flower shop and brought back a bouquet of flowers.
At the other end of the old house, Yu Zheng had already changed his clothes and sat on the sofa waiting when he heard that Si Yang was coming.
As soon as Si Yang walked into the entrance, there was another person in his arms.
“Brother Si Yang.” It was Yu Zheng, who rushed forward and hugged Si Yang tightly, like a drowning man hugging driftwood.
But Si Yang pushed him away, and then handed him the flowers in the secretary’s hand behind him, “Hold it yourself, give it to your mother later.”
“Yeah. I will listen to Brother Si Yang.” Yu Zheng smiled and nodded, but the next second his brows frowned suspiciously.
Because what Si Yang handed him was a bouquet of white lilies. This color doesn’t seem to be the kind that is given every day, and the other flowers in the bouquet are too plain.
Looking at the clothes on Si Yang’s body, it’s rare to see a pure black suit. The snow-white shirt was spotless, completely suppressing the playfulness on his body, making him look solemn.
And wearing this kind of suit, one can be said to be going to the wedding hall, or it can be said to be going to…
Yu Zheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Si Yang, but he couldn’t see anything in Si Yang’s eyes. He didn’t dare to think too much, he couldn’t think too much.
Yu Zheng’s heart was once again held in the mid-air with no one to rely on, unable to land or move.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see your mother.” Si Yang took Yu Zheng’s hand and led him to the door.
This was the first time Yu Zheng went out, after returning to Yu’s house for half a month. He suddenly had the urge to go back immediately.
How could Si Yang, who raised a baby chick, allow him to curl up in the cage? What’s more, this is his first step to pull Yu Zheng out of the fairy tale world.
In the car, Si Yang looked at the stiff Yu Zheng next to him and asked with concern, “Why don’t you say anything? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”
“…”
“Didn’t you eat breakfast in the morning? Was the food made in the kitchen not to your taste?”
“……No.”
“What did you eat?”
“I drank… I drank the porridge.”
“It’s good to drink porridge, it nourishes the stomach.”
“Um.”
Usually when the two get along, Yu Zheng talks a lot, but this time, it is rare that Si Yang has been taking the initiative, and Yu Zheng has become a clumsy mute.
When Si Yang coaxed people, his eyebrows and eyes were full of seriousness. But the more he talked, the more desperate Yu Zheng became, because he had already sensitively sensed that the truth was about to be revealed.
That was something he absolutely could not bear. Just look at the sympathy for him in the eyes of the old housekeeper, the driver, and the secretary.
Yu Zheng raised his head, wanting to see Si Yang’s face clearly, but what he most wanted to see clearly was Si Yang’s heart. But when he looked, he couldn’t see anything.
It was rare for Si Yang to talk too much, and he slowly talked about Yu Zheng’s childhood before he was abducted.
“On the day you were born, both father and mother were overjoyed. Father kept watch all night, and when you were carried out, he almost cried.”
Through the car window, Yu Zheng saw the car turn a corner and got on the national highway.
“Later, when you were lost, my mother almost committed suicide. It was my father who kept saying that we would be able to find you back so that she could barely hold on.”
Yu Zheng saw a van passing by beside them, and a dazzling red cloth strip was tied to the rearview mirror of the car. He had heard of a custom that red cloth strips would be tied only to cars participating in funerals, to drive away evil spirits.
Yu Zheng wanted to ask Si Yang where they were going to see his parents. But in the end, he still couldn’t ask.
Si Yang’s story about Yu Zheng also came to an end.
“Later, I was looking for you all the time. I promised my mother that I would definitely find you back. If I can’t find you, I will look for you until I die!”
A dead word almost broke Yu Zheng’s tense nerves, and all his doubts and entanglements were answered at this moment.
The truth about his parents is about to be revealed, and Si Yang’s strange attitude towards him, Xu Mingquan’s hints, the conversations between the housekeeper and the maids, and the few words he overheard are all connected together.
The truth was about to come out, Si Yang didn’t have the slightest affection for him at all, it was just because of Yu’s family property.
But even so, if his parents are really dead, Si Yang is Yu Zheng’s only family member left. Yu Zheng grabbed Si Yang’s sleeve suddenly, raised his head and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
“Brother Si Yang…” He couldn’t tell what he was begging for. After trembling for a long time, he finally said, “Take me home…”
He doesn’t want to know anymore, neither the truth nor Si Yang’s feelings for him, he doesn’t want to know anymore. Even though the Yu family’s old house was a cage set up by Si Yang for him, at this second, Yu Zheng was willing to be a canary in it.
As long as Si Yang isn’t so cruel. After all, he called him brother, just like Si Yang said, since he was born, Si Yang has hugged him.
So, how could he have the heart… How could he have the heart to treat himself like this?
But Si Yang still smiled, and bit by bit he took off Yu Zheng’s fingers wrapped around his cuff. Then he took off his coat in front of Yu Zheng, and threw it to the secretary sitting in front.
It was exactly the same as the scene he peeked at that night, even the posture of unbuttoning it remained unchanged.
Yu Zheng leaned towards the car door subconsciously, and kept away from Si Yang.
As the car drove towards a more desolate area, Si Yang’s voice became more and more gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. Finally, the car stopped.
Si Yang opened the car door first.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to meet them.”
The air was instantly dead silent.
The despair in Yu Zheng’s eyes could hardly be hidden, but Si Yang opened the car door on his side and brought him out, and pushed him to the gate of the building in front of him.
“Look, father and mother are here now.”
Yu Zheng raised his head, and there was a line clearly written on it, ‘Qiulu Cemetery’.
Si Yang pushed him one last time, “Why don’t you go in and have a look?”
The last ray of light in Yu Zheng’s eyes finally went out, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
