I didn't mean to fight for favor

Sitting down at the table, the newly arrived tea leaves wafted with a refreshing scent, which seemed to dispel the haze in Cheng Xi's heart.

Cheng Xi glanced at the relatives who surrounded him, his father, his father's second wife, brother, and sister.

The father sat upright on the main seat, sitting face to face with him at both ends of the long table.

The family members were all looking at him with gentle smiles, and his father was concerned about his recent situation, "Xiao Xi, how is school? You didn't make trouble."

Mrs. Cheng stroked the back of his head, but he dodged violently. The cold hand of the woman whose makeup was so thick that it could fall off powder was like a wriggling giant snake, biting his fragile brainstem and spine, gently One hit can be fatal.

And the elder brother and younger sister are even more weird. For the first time, his younger sister looked at him straightly, "Brother Xi, you are finally here. Don't you know that I have been waiting for you for a long time?"

Cheng Xi felt that the lights tonight were a little dizzying.

He may have stayed with Xu Gen for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable acting with this group of strangers who should be familiar.

He wanted to end this flirtatious play quickly, and said in a dry and emotionless tone, "What do you want me to do? If you have nothing to do, don't bother my father Cheng Tian."

Cheng Bin slapped the table hard, "Do you only have Cheng Tian in your eyes? Where do you put me as a real father? It's a joke to say it. Our Cheng family has a huge family business, but we can't even teach a son well."

Cheng Xi smiled, "Really, you taught me? Why don't I remember."

"Bastards of all sizes."

Cheng Xi's memory is very good, so he can even remember that this is the second time in his two lifetimes that Cheng Bin treated him kindly. The first time was when he was reminded to hold Xu Gen's thigh tightly in his previous life.

"The son is not the fault of the father. If you think that I am really a failure, then you might as well face your dereliction of duty and incompetence first."

Brother Cheng Xi showed the majesty of being the eldest son in the family, "Cheng Xi, shut up, you are really rebellious by nature, how can you have such a bastard who contradicts your father and has no respect for his elders!"

The whole family stared at him like this, staring at him like a tiger.

That's right, it's not that a family doesn't enter a family, and a family is this virtue.

And he was never part of the family.

He lowered his head, "I'm afraid I'm your son only when you need me." He suddenly looked at Cheng Bin, then turned to his eldest brother, "Your younger brother."

Cheng Xi has been a soft bun since he was a child, but he didn't expect that after he came back from the packaging, he became hardened.

Since the hard ones are not enough, then come soft ones.

Cheng Bin straightened his gray sideburns, "Xiaoxi, do you know that I only have five sons of you in my life, and your younger brother passed away many years ago. You know, I saw you walking out instead of him." It's not him, how much I want to strangle you to death!" I'm afraid Cheng Bin has said so much today, and only this sentence is the truth.

But five sons, is that too little?Cheng Bin is really confused.

He tried to squeeze out a little water, "But I know that the past is over, you are all good or you have grown up, and now your third brother has provoked people on the road because he helped the family take care of the business, you Knowing that our Cheng family's business has always been clean, and we don't mess with these dirty things, it's not really helpless, so I thought of looking for you. I really want to beg you with my old face, help Dad , can you just get your third brother out?"

Cheng Bin's words were sincere, and Cheng Xi almost believed that he was a loving father who cared about his children wholeheartedly, and was worried about his son.

But Cheng Xi couldn't help but think of the shooting incident that year. Five years ago, when he was 11 years old, Cheng Bin told him in a cold tone after Cheng Zhiqi's death that he was the one who killed Cheng Zhiqi. Used to atone for his most distressed young son.

——From that day on, he was the enemy of the Cheng family.

Just imagine, according to his temperament, how could he laugh away with this group of hypocritical people?

"Only those who know how to resist will understand the bright future of life."

"When fate is throwing stones at you, you should be clear about whether the reason you feel pain is because you are too weak to appear vulnerable."

This is what Xu Gen said to him back then, Cheng Xi can now clearly repeat every word he said at that time.

This time the initiative is in his hands, and he is the banker, so this is his game, everything should be played according to his game rules.

What Xu Gen said to him when he was a child was like a booster that gave Cheng Xi the strongest support.

Cheng Xi took a sip of the tea in the quilt slowly, without saying a word.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and knelt down in front of Cheng Xi with a plop. He hugged Cheng Xi's leg and burst into tears, "Master Xi, I know you are unwilling, but Third Young Master is not wrong. He is always your brother. You can't see him." It's not going to save me."

"Blood ties are inseparable." The butler is worthy of being a loyal servant of this family. The master knows what to do with just one look. He wiped away his tears, "Master Xi, just listen to my advice and give me this." Old Zhang has a face, please say a few words in front of Young Master Xu, it will be regarded as God has the virtue of good life, and he has done good deeds for himself to accumulate virtue."

Brother Cheng Xi also said: "If you don't look at the face of the monk, you should look at the face of the Buddha. Anyway, the old housekeeper was right when he was young."

Yes, not bad is not necessarily good, it depends on who you compare with.

Cheng Xi ignored the old housekeeper and stood up. At this time, Cheng Bin's family realized that Cheng Xi was already so tall. He said to Cheng Bin: "If you think my guilt should come from the fact that I didn't follow your request Life for life, I use my life to save Cheng Zhiqi, so I'm sorry you think too much.

It is true that my original life came from your sperm, but my second life did not come from you. "

He picked up the coat hanging from the back of the chair and hung it on his arm and walked out without looking back, "I'm tired of playing this game of mutual suspicion and you come and go. Since you know that I have the means to save Cheng Zhiyang, you know that I also have the means to save Cheng Zhiyang." The means can kill him."

"You don't need to contact me any more." He walked very gracefully.

Cheng Xi thought of something interesting, what's the fun if the game ends too soon.

His younger sister jumped up and asked Cheng Bin, "Dad, why didn't you stop him!"

Cheng Bin leaned back on the chair wearily, and his voice was no longer clear when he was young. He thought he knew this habitually soft-hearted son very well, and successfully grasped his weakness, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "He is accepted."

People really don't accept old age.

10. Playing with fire***

When Cheng Xi went back, Xu Gen was holding the TV in a daze, and when he saw Cheng Xi came back, he waved to him, "Come and sit, TV series, you like."

Cheng Xi went over and sat down cross-legged, and pushed Xu Gen aside with his butt, "Go over, one person takes up such a big space."

Xu Gen took advantage of the situation and stuck to him, "No, I will rely on you."

... Acting like a baby?

Cheng Xi almost couldn't hold back his serious face, "I'm serious."

Xu Gen didn't want to offend him either, so he put the teacup in Cheng Xi's arms and went to it by himself.

The old butler in the back was crying, so the young master also had such a childish time, it is indeed true love.

In fact, it is too early for a high school student to talk about love. Even if he is so precocious, does he know what love is?

For him, Cheng Xi's biggest attraction to him was that he was surprisingly comfortable by his side.

This kind of comfort comes from Cheng Xi, a man who is harmless and tolerant like a sponge. The more you get in touch with him, the more confused you become. Tell me, where is the bottom line of this man?

While enjoying the various benefits brought by Cheng Xi's easy-going personality, he also dislikes him for not being tough enough.

Maybe people always have a naive illusion, that is, in this life, they should meet someone who is as ruthless to the enemy as the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and is as tender as the spring breeze to the willows.

Sure enough, such a dark fairy tale is not exempt even for a half-immortal like Xu Gen.

Xu Gen asked Cheng Xi about the Cheng family, "How is it?"

Cheng Xi took a sip of tea, "I've thought about it. This is nothing more than Shao Wenzhao's detaining the goods and son of the old fox of the Cheng family. He thought I didn't know what business he was doing. Since he is willing to play with fire, I don't mind helping him." a handful."

Xu Gen looked at him and smiled strangely, "Don't lie to me, you really made up your mind, don't you regret it?"

"What's there to regret? Cheng Bin moved people he shouldn't, and got thoughts he shouldn't have." Cheng Xi put down his water glass, "A careerist like him is just playing with fire."

When talking about business, Xu Gen immediately became serious, and he was worthy of his sharpness, "Then get ready, we'll go to Shao Wenzhao's to find out what's going on in a while."

Cheng Xi stopped him again, and added with a smile: "I heard that a powerful general under Brother Shao is looking for a wife?"

Xu Gen frowned and looked at him strangely, "That man Shao has already become suspicious and wants to get rid of...you..."

Cheng Xi stretched her waist, "Cheng Rongrong is not young anymore, she has reached the age to talk about marriage, such a good marriage, well-matched, why don't you help them lead the red line?"

Xu Gen punched Cheng Xi, "My boy, your brain is getting better and better."

Cheng Rongrong, Cheng Bin's apple of the eye, Cheng Xi's good younger sister, with such a good marriage, Cheng Xi wants to say that she is a high-ranking, after all, not every delicate and savage young lady has the opportunity to be a concubine concubine who is a hero at the end of her life .

Isn't selling children and daughters Cheng Bin's usual method?

Cheng Xi stood on a tall building—in fact, it wasn’t too tall, but it was already the tallest building in the city at that time—looking out, there were not so many icy giants at this time, and the city was not a forest of reinforced concrete buildings. can see far
