sky-high engagement

Chapter 924 Nothing can go back
"At that time, I was sent to the hospital, and I heard with my own ears that my grandfather ordered the soldiers, no matter how much they pay, as long as they can bring you back safely."

At this moment, looking at the peaceful old man in the photo, Cheng Yi's eyes felt hot.

But these are Cheng Xueyang's one-sided words, Cheng Yi is not so easy to believe, not to mention that things have passed for so long, and there is no way to undo them.

Cheng Yi opened his mouth, and managed to find his own voice, "You think I will believe what you say? Don't be stupid, Cheng Xueyang, they love you."

"In Cheng's family, no matter what I do, they never care. They don't even want to attend the school's parent meeting. They don't regard me as their child at all."

Cheng Xueyang shook his head, "I don't love you, heh, you can really say that, you think they care more about me, it's because I'm a younger brother, why don't you think about yourself?"

"You are mature and stable, and your parents are assured of you. I am young and ignorant, and cause trouble all day long. Naturally, they pay more attention to me. This is also very common in ordinary people."

"It's your own preconceived notion that you are not a child of the Cheng family, so they don't care about you. They are so busy, and they haven't attended my parent meeting a few times. How can you use this to measure their love for you? Cheng Yi In vain, you are so smart, you even got a master's degree in psychology, don't you even understand such a simple truth?"

Cheng Yi's heart shook, "But they don't like talking to me, and so does Grandpa. Every time I go back to see him, he doesn't like what I bring."

Cheng Xueyang said: "I guess you must not look in the mirror often, so you don't see the expression on your face. It's not that they don't like talking to you, but that you reject people thousands of miles away. Over time, they think you have grown up. You have your own concerns, but you don't want to say anything, how can they communicate with you?"

"Besides, Grandpa, every time I go back, he pulls me to praise you for being sensible, saying what you brought to honor him, unlike me who will fool him."

Cheng Yi looked at him in disbelief, "But he never drank the wine I brought back."

"When does he stop drinking? He just doesn't want to drink it. You can't understand the thinking of the older generation. He thinks those wines are too expensive, and he must wait until the holidays to share them with relatives and friends."

When he said this, Cheng Yi suddenly remembered that he seemed to bring the wine for relatives and friends every festival.

At that time, he thought it was because grandpa didn't like it, so he brought it to entertain guests, but he didn't expect that he meant it.

"Whether it's grandpa or parents, they never regarded you as an outsider. It's because you think so, because you want too much, so you made an excuse for yourself."

"You must have heard the story of the young master Fusu. King Qin is strict with Fusu but only favors Hu Hai because he never thought of letting Hu Hai inherit the throne. You are jealous that I am favored by my parents, but have you ever thought about it?" , Why did they keep letting me go? Because they never thought of letting me enter the officialdom."

"Cheng Yi, ask yourself, has the Cheng family ever beat you up these years? Did the Cheng family owe you, or did you owe the Cheng family?"

The last question made Cheng Yi feel cold all over, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

He never thought that his parents had such high expectations for him, and they planned to hand over such a huge family business to him.

They dote on the second child only because they feel that the Cheng family has him, even if they are a hundred years later, he, the eldest brother, can take good care of his younger brother.

It turned out that everything he wanted was once so easily available, but he made a big circle and ruined the hard work of three generations.

"It's impossible! It's impossible!"

Cheng Yi didn't want to believe that all this was true, it was more uncomfortable than letting him die, so he subconsciously wanted to veto it.

But would Cheng Xueyang let him pretend to be confused?

Tolerance is already the limit for Cheng Xueyang, he clenched his fist and slammed it on that gentle and elegant face, and then punched again.

"I'm not telling you this to defend the Cheng family. I just want you to know that you are wrong, and it is hopelessly wrong." dragged him to the grave by his hair.

"Look at this person who brought you back from the orphanage, let him take care of you for decades, and praised my grandson for being filial and sensible when he met everyone. My little grandson would be as obedient as him, but you let him Lying on the cold ground like this, Cheng Yi, you/mother is a beast!"

Being knocked down to the ground by a punch, Cheng Yi only felt ringing in his ears, as if only Cheng Xueyang's roar was left in the whole world, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Then he remembered that when he was a child, he was held on his lap by his grandfather to learn how to play chess, and he listened to his grandson's art of war.

Those good memories, like fragile soap bubbles, floated from the dusty forbidden area, occupying all his memories.

"grandfather……"

Cheng Yi's lips trembled, and it took him a long time to finally react. He got up and knelt in front of the tomb, hugging Mr. Cheng's tombstone and crying, "Grandpa, I was wrong!"

Cheng Xueyang stood aside coldly, watching the man in his forties crying like a child, without any emotion on his face.

When Cheng Yi was crying bitterly, Cheng Xueyang said, "Now you can tell me, who was the person who pushed you to bring down the Cheng family?"

Cheng Yi turned his head to look at him, his eyes were complicated and incomprehensible to others, "Xueyang, grandpa is dead, the Cheng family is ruined, and everything can't go back."

"I know."

Cheng Xueyang nodded very calmly, "I know that no matter how hard I try, the Cheng family will not be able to return to its former prosperity. The most important thing is that grandpa will never come back."

"No, Xueyang, you are wrong. The Cheng family can still be restored to the past. As long as we two brothers work together, the Cheng family will definitely be more awe-inspiring than when grandpa was alive."

Cheng Xueyang seemed a little surprised, "Are you willing to help me?"

Cheng Yi looked at him seriously, "As long as you still believe in me, Xueyang, give me a chance and let me do something for the Cheng family."

Cheng Xueyang smiled, with tears streaming down his eyes, he said: "Grandpa, you heard me, elder brother said that he is willing to change his past, let me give him another chance."

However, the corner of Cheng Yi's mouth hadn't pulled away before he heard Cheng Xueyang's voice turn cold in vain, "But how can I let those who have slandered the Cheng family just because of such useless power and status?"

He looked down at the photo of the old man on the tombstone, his voice hoarse.

"For so many years, I have never forgotten how you died. I swore that if I can't restore the reputation of the Cheng family and let you rest in peace under the nine springs, I am not worthy of being a descendant of the Cheng family! So ..."

Cheng Xueyang looked at Cheng Yi with cold eyes, "I will not let anyone involved with this matter go!"
