Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Play You Guys

Sun Dongchen asked warily, "What do you mean?"

"You’ll find out soon enough what I mean." The warning in Cheng Qiaobei’s gaze was obvious.

Sun Dongchen felt confident; even if he offended Cheng Qiaobei this time, Zheng Rongxi would definitely speak up for him, and Cheng Siluo would never ignore the situation because of the child.

The child was Sun Dongchen’s last trump card.

Cheng Qiaobei saw through his little scheme, "I don’t even have to guess what you’re thinking. You think they’ll protect you for the child’s sake, but you really don’t understand the Cheng Family at all. As long as personal and company interests are at stake, no one isn’t a pawn; and pawns can’t escape the possibility of being sacrificed. Tell me, with what you’re doing right now, how do you think they will treat you?"

Sun Dongchen didn’t believe Cheng Qiaobei’s provocation.

"Don’t believe me?" Cheng Qiaobei extinguished the cigarette, blew out the last wisp of smoke, and said, "Here’s a free piece of advice: under a big tree, no grass grows. What can shield you from the wind and rain can also block out the sky."

At that time, Sun Dongchen didn’t understand this saying, until later...

Beep beep—after two car horn sounds, Sun Dongchen joyfully looked out the window and said, "Siluo and Mom are back, let’s see what you do now?"

He finally had the courage to rid himself of Cheng Qiaobei, enduring the pain as he got up to push past people and open the door.

Cheng Qiaobei didn’t stop him and leisurely walked into the living room, sitting on the sofa.

Sun Dongchen holding his injured mouth in grievance ran out and began recounting how Cheng Qiaobei broke in and beat him up regardless of anything to the mother and daughter as they got out of the car.

Zheng Rongxi was so enraged her face turned red, with furrowed brows she stormed into the house, seeing Cheng Qiaobei lounging on the sofa, she questioned:

"Why did you come to our house and beat up Dongchen?"

Cheng Qiaobei lazily draped his arms over the backrest, his gaze faintly on Zheng Rongxi, said, "Your house? If I recall correctly, the first time I came here, you vowed in front of my dad that I should consider this as my home. It’s only been a few years, and you’ve forgotten? Or are you saying that back then, you didn’t mean it sincerely?"

Cheng Siluo followed right in, her eyes burning with hostility, "Cheng Qiaobei, aren’t you going too far? Barging into my house and hitting my husband, what do you mean by this? Are you not taking this family seriously?"

"You’re absolutely right, I don’t consider this my home, and as for why, you all know better than anyone." Cheng Qiaobei’s gaze swept over Cheng Siluo and he then looked at Sun Dongchen standing behind her, mockingly saying, "Cheng Siluo, your taste in men is as poor as your stock picks."

Cheng Siluo was taken aback, "You..."

"Don’t rush, let me finish. You can always pick a bad stock from a bunch of potential stocks, now you’re stuck with this bad stock and still hold him like a treasure. They say a successful man always has a good woman behind him, but that doesn’t seem to apply to you. He’s always standing behind a woman, needing protection and shelter; what’s your hobby, choosing only rotten peaches?"

"Cheng Qiaobei, what right do you have to criticize me? Our family’s matters don’t concern you." Cheng Siluo raised her phone threateningly, "I’ll call the police right now, just wait for your lawsuit."

Zheng Rongxi observed Cheng Qiaobei’s expression, noticing he showed no alarm upon hearing about calling the police, it was clear that he wasn’t afraid of it.

Why?

While Zheng Rongxi was puzzled, Cheng Qiaobei toyed with his phone and said to the three of them, "Call the police, is it? Are you sure? Very well, it takes a lot to put righteousness before family, I must admire you."

Seeing his roguish attitude, Zheng Rongxi stopped Cheng Siluo, who was about to dial, "Wait, Siluo."

Zheng Rongxi asked Cheng Qiaobei, "What do you mean by putting righteousness before family?"

Cheng Qiaobei’s cold gaze shifted to Sun Dongchen, "What do I mean by that, you’d have to ask your good son-in-law."

Zheng Rongxi turned to Sun Dongchen, "Dongchen, what’s going on?"

Sun Dongchen hesitated, mumbling, "Mom... it’s just..."

"What’s going on, stop beating around the bush." Zheng Rongxi said sharply.

Only then did Sun Dongchen confess about reporting Chen Weichuan, but seeing the reactions of Zheng Rongxi and Cheng Siluo, from their eyes filled with disdain, he feared becoming the discarded piece that Cheng Qiaobei mentioned.

He began making excuses for his reckless behavior until Zheng Rongxi lost patience and loudly cut him off, "Stop talking, I don’t want to hear it."

Sun Dongchen panicked and instinctively looked at Cheng Siluo.

"Wife," he grabbed Cheng Siluo’s hand, "I only wanted to help you vent."

Cheng Siluo yelled angrily, "Shut up! Who told you to act recklessly."

Accusing a state official is no joking matter.

Now, even though Cheng Siluo wanted to help, she was powerless to reverse the situation.

Cheng Qiaobei leisurely asked, "Was I wrong to discipline him on your behalf?"

The mother and daughter both looked at Cheng Qiaobei; currently, it seemed only he could possibly help Sun Dongchen out of this mess.

Zheng Rongxi sat across from Cheng Qiaobei, her demeanor unyielding, "Dongchen deserved this beating, now tell me, what’s your condition to help him?"

Although Cheng Siluo didn’t want to bow her head, Chen Weichuan’s position was not ordinary, and things might worsen leading Sun Dongchen to actually go to jail this time.

Cheng Qiaobei, expressionless, asked in return, "Who told you I was going to help him?"

Zheng Rongxi: "..."

Cheng Siluo clenched her fists, maintaining her façade of strength, "If you don’t want to help, why say so much? It’s all just to negotiate terms, isn’t it?"

Cheng Qiaobei smirked, his smile disdainful, "I said all that just to make you all look bad; it amuses me."

Zheng Rongxi: "..."

Cheng Siluo: "..."

Sun Dongchen: "..."

The three were stunned; this was audaciously acting like a rascal, in plain terms, he was playing them!

Cheng Siluo impulsively moved to tear at Cheng Qiaobei, but was held back by Sun Dongchen from behind, "Wife, don’t act rashly, don’t act rashly..."

Cheng Siluo shouted, "Let me go..."

As the two tussled, Zheng Rongxi couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted to stop them, "Enough of this!"

Cheng Qiaobei watched the three put on a show, sitting on the sofa unmoved.

Zheng Rongxi sternly asked Sun Dongchen, "Where did you report this?"

When Sun Dongchen mentioned the office he exposed, Zheng Rongxi felt her vision go dark; this had blown up way too big.

Suddenly, the sound of a child’s crying came from upstairs, and the three of them simultaneously looked towards the stairs.

Zheng Rongxi took a deep breath, remembering her young grandson, and calming her emotions, said, "Siluo, go check on the child."

Cheng Siluo understood her mother’s intent, nodded, and went upstairs.

After contemplating for a moment, Zheng Rongxi said, "Qiaobei, this situation is Dongchen’s fault, but for the sake of us being family, please help Dongchen."
