Zhou Shaojin looked up in surprise, tears still on his face.
Cheng Chi wiped the tears from her face with his thumb with a smile, and said softly: "Look, in order to make me happy, you can endure even the things you dislike the most. It's the same for me. I also want you to be happy, to be by my side, to laugh when you want to laugh, to cry when you want to cry, to say yes when you want something, and to refuse when you don't want it... to live your life as you please... What's the big deal if you kick me when you are unhappy?"
Is that really true
In her two lives, she had to endure most of the time.
But if you think about it carefully, it is true.
Because she knew that Cheng Chi doted on her, she acted unscrupulously in front of him.
Did she always do whatever she wanted in front of him
No matter what she looks like, Uncle Chi will treat her well... It's as if Uncle Chi knew about her past life and still fell in love with her, and said he wanted to marry her... She should have known it a long time ago... It's her who has a knot in her heart, always doubting, always denying... Uncle Chi coaxes her like a child, with infinite patience... But everyone gets tired sometimes, not to mention that Uncle Chi secretly has a Seven Star Hall, and is also worried about the old ancestor of the second house. After a long time, even a strong person will get tired... What should she do when Uncle Chi doesn't like her anymore
She has to grow up quickly...
How can I grow up quickly
She doesn't know the people.
But she knew that she would start with what he liked...it would never be wrong.
Zhou Shaojin's tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
She clutched Cheng Chi's collar tightly, and for the first time, she leaned her face into his arms.
Uncle Chi’s arms were always warm and clean. She could hear his thumping heartbeat, steady and strong, which made her feel at ease.
Zhou Shaojin's ears slowly turned red.
When she calmed down, she realized that some things were not as difficult as she had imagined.
Cheng Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was worth his being a playboy that the little girl finally took the initiative to snuggle in his arms.
Although it is the first time, won’t there be a second time after the first time
Cheng Chi hugged her encouragingly and whispered to her, "Just don't kick me off the bed, okay?"
"Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed and anxious. He pushed him away and stomped his feet in anger.
Oh my god... He started talking nonsense again... Can't he just talk to himself properly
Cheng Chi took two steps back and burst into laughter.
The little girl is also cute when she is angry.
Her eyes were puffy, open, and sparkling, but the blushing pink color made her face look radiant and gorgeous.
He leaned forward and kissed Zhou Shaojin's forehead.
Zhou Shaojin's face turned even redder.
But he didn't run away like he did before.
Is this progress
Cheng Chi was a little surprised.
Huaishan's hesitant voice came from outside the door: "Fourth Master, Zi'an is back."
Cheng Chi smiled and touched Zhou Shaojin's head, whispering, "Just sit here obediently, okay?"
Zhou Shaojin nodded shyly.
It was the first time she listened to Cheng Chi handle things.
Zhou Shaojin sorted the tea sets with some uneasiness.
Cheng Chi went to the main room.
Qin Zian walked in, exhausted.
He saluted Cheng Chi with his fists and suddenly found Zhou Shaojin in the room.
Qin Zian glanced at Cheng Chi.
Seeing Cheng Chi sitting down in front of the big desk with a calm expression.
He sneered in his heart, and as usual, he respectfully explained to Cheng Chi: "Because Madam Yuan had solid evidence and a strong attitude, she also sent people to Tongxiang to invite the uncle of the Yuan family to help with justice. The ancestor of the second house saw that Madam Yuan was quite indifferent, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he sent people to tell the old lady that the clan can be divided, and the eldest house will be divided. The ancestral property and sacrificial land in Jinling City will be inherited by the second house, and the house in the capital will be divided to the eldest house..." At this point, he quickly glanced at Zhou Shaojin and said, "Then the eldest house will give the second house three million taels of silver..."
Zhou Shaojin was shocked.
Three million taels... Does Cheng Chi have to work like a slave for them all his life
She subconsciously wanted to jump out and object, but Qin Zian was present, so she decided to wait a while before talking to Cheng Chi about this matter.
Cheng Chi looked very calm, as if he already knew what conditions Cheng Xu would offer.
He just asked Qin Ziping: "What did the old lady and Yuan say?"
"The old lady didn't say anything." Qin Ziping obviously felt that such a condition was too much, and his tone seemed a little depressed. He said, "She just asked me to tell you about this. Madam Yuan didn't agree. She said that the Cheng family only had three houses in the capital, one in Xinglin Hutong, one in Shuangyu Hutong, and one near Chaoyangmen. Among these three houses, Xinglin Hutong was bought by our eldest ancestor Zhigong when he was alive, Shuangyu Hutong was the dowry of Lao An from the second old master's family, and the house near Chaoyangmen was bought with the old lady's own money. None of them has anything to do with the Cheng family. Now that Cheng Shi and Cheng Zheng have done something wrong, the second and third houses are still right? All the money and property left by the ancestors belong to the second house, and the eldest house is actually going to leave the house with nothing. It's not that easy!
"Mrs. Yuan also said that if we have to settle accounts, we should do it clearly.
“The second branch and the first branch had already been divided under the auspices of the elders, so naturally each family’s property belonged to each family, and the property involved was only the sacrificial land.
"The eldest branch is the legitimate branch, not someone who was adopted from some remote corner, so how can the sacrificial land belong to the second branch? Even if the lawsuit is brought to the emperor, the eldest branch is still in the right. Not to mention that the eldest branch is asked to give three million silver to the second branch.
"It's obvious that the second branch doesn't want to split up.
"Anyway, if the family is not divided, the second and third branches are always thinking of setting a trap for Master Xu to fall into, so that they can use Master Xu's handle to make him forget about living an upright life. Rather than being ruined by that time, it is better to take advantage of Master Xu's young age and use 'youth and ignorance' as an excuse to play a 'prodigal son who returns' drama. Now let's expose this matter and let people know what kind of person Master Shi of the second branch is? How Master Zheng of the third branch and Miss Jia framed the in-laws! Let the world see the true face of the Cheng family in Jinling City. When the time comes, the eldest branch will sell all the properties under its name and move them all to the capital. What does it matter whether the family is divided or not?"
Having said that, he glanced at Cheng Chi, but couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Whether the clan is divided or not really has nothing to do with the eldest branch, and the second branch can be dragged into the dispute, making Cheng Shi lose interest in studying and dragging Cheng Xu to death. By then, the second branch will be the fish on the chopping board of the eldest branch.
But the Fourth Master wants to divide the clan!
If there is no distinction between clans, how can the Fourth Master marry the Second Miss of the Zhou family
The old lady must have noticed this, so she passed the matter to the Fourth Master without saying a word - as if to imply that whoever caused the trouble should find a way to solve it.
I didn’t expect that Mrs. Yuan was still so powerful at the critical moment.
I came up with this trick.
I wonder if the Fourth Master will get so angry that his face will change.
Zhou Shaojin also looked towards Cheng Chi.
She heard it came out.
The second branch was not going to compete with the first branch for the Qixing Hall, so they wanted the first branch to give them a one-time compensation of three million taels of silver.
But isn’t that because there is no one in the Second House who can take over Qixing Hall
And even if the eldest branch gave the Qixing Hall to the second branch, what use would it be for the second branch to have it in its hands
After all, the Qixing Hall is still managed by Uncle Chi!
This is like throwing a chicken rib to Uncle Chi and asking him to admit that it is a chicken.
The second wife’s calculations were too clever.
As if everyone else is a fool.
Uncle Chi will definitely not agree.
Who would have thought that Cheng Chi would raise his eyebrows and smile, saying: "It seems that my sister-in-law is quite useful at critical moments. I just wonder if this idea was her own? Or was it thought up by my uncle from the Yuan family?"
Qin Ziping didn't know, and said truthfully: "Yuan's uncle brought five retainers here. It is said that three of them were former criminal lawyers."
Cheng Chi smiled and nodded, saying, "I knew that although the uncle of the Yuan family was not successful in his official career, he is the son of the cabinet elder after all, so his knowledge and skills should not be too bad." He then asked, "What did the ancestor of the second house say?"
Qin Ziping laughed and said, "The ancestor of the second branch said, when will it be the Cheng family's turn to be the hen crowing at dawn! He said that if the eldest master is not free, he should ask the fourth master to go back."
Cheng Chi burst into laughter and said to Qin Ziping, "Then you can go back and tell our second branch's ancestors that I think dividing the clan is too unfriendly. In my father's generation, our eldest branch had three brothers. In our generation, there are four brothers. In Jiashan's generation, there are only two brothers. Unlike their second branch, which has only one son for three generations, there are two brothers in Youyi's generation, and in Geng'er's generation... Youyi is this year... If I'm not mistaken, he should be the same age as me, and both have two sons. I'm so envious of him. Besides, if we want to divide the clan, wouldn't it be good for the brothers to live in such a way that they are close to each other?"
Qin Ziping couldn't help but mutter to himself after hearing this.
Fourth Master, just pretend
What if Madam Yuan, under the instigation of Uncle Yuan, decides not to divide the clan? How are you going to pretend
He couldn't help but let a smile flash across his eyes, and said respectfully: "Then I will pass it back as you said."
Cheng Chi waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Zhou Shaojin smiled like a flower.
Cheng Chi scratched her nose and said, "Are you so happy that the Cheng family will no longer be divided into branches?"
"Not really!" Zhou Shaojin understood what Cheng Chi meant, and said with embarrassment, "I just think the ancestor of the second branch is too abominable! He threw a hot potato to you like a cornucopia, and even called it a contract, saying that he was reluctantly giving up... You shouldn't have accepted his move! Leave the Seven Star Hall to him."
Cheng Chi lifted her up to his level, stared into her dark, clear eyes, and laughed softly, "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose? They can wait for ten or eight years before talking about the division of the sect, but I can't wait... Are you trying to ruin my plan..." As he spoke, he kissed her lips softly.
