Chapter 186: The Old Matriarch of the Zheng Family

"Stronger than you? How is that possible? How old is that guy? He looks at most 20 years old. He can be more powerful than you, are you kidding me?"

"Do I have a need to lie to you? I don't know if this guy was taught by Xiaohuan’s grandfather. If he really was taught by him, then we definitely can't afford to offend him!"

"Afraid every day, afraid of this and that, what use do I have for you?"

"I’m being cautious. If I weren't so careful, do you think I could have lived for so many years?"

Regarding this, the middle-aged woman didn't refute. It was indeed Zheng Yun’s caution over the years that allowed them to live until now. Things in the Zheng family were chaotic, with intrigue everywhere, and there was no family affection at all. If it weren't for being careful everywhere, I guess they would have lost their lives long ago.

"I think that guy is at most a bodyguard. He’s a servant, why should he be arrogant in front of me? Hmph, when we leave, I’ll make them look good!"

"Alright, stop causing trouble, consider it my plea to you. Who cares about your status these days? If you provoke them, the other party will take your life. Is your life valuable, or is his life valuable? Don't you have a clue in your heart?"

The middle-aged woman snorted and turned her head, not speaking anymore.

Xiaohuan and I kept vigil in front of the mourning hall for several days, and finally, under Xiaohuan’s endless crying, he was buried. Grandpa Zheng could be considered to have truly been buried in peace.

For the next two days, the middle-aged woman and Zheng Yun came here every day to persuade Xiaohuan to go back. After all, their task this time was to take Xiaohuan back. After understanding, I learned that they were Xiaohuan’s uncle and aunt. Zheng Yun was the third in the family, the third uncle, and Xiaohuan’s mother was the eldest in the family, the eldest daughter. However, what surprised me was that Xiaohuan’s mother also had the surname Zheng. It seemed her parents were a same-surname couple.

This day, Xiaohuan found me and said to me: "Brother Yang Yun, should I go back with them now?"

"This depends on what you think in your heart. As long as you want to go back, Brother will accompany you back!" I touched Xiaohuan’s head and said.

Hearing my words, Xiaohuan nodded, then nodded to me and said: "Alright, then let’s go in two days, I still want to stay alone with Brother Yang Yun for two more days!"

Two days later, Xiaohuan and I packed our things and prepared to set off. Seeing me also carrying luggage, Zheng Yun asked suspiciously: "Are you also going to follow?"

I nodded, then took out a letter that Zheng Linming had written long ago from my body and handed it to Zheng Yun. This letter was also handed to me by Zheng Linming when he left. It was for Xiaohuan’s maternal grandparents’ family to see. As for what was written inside, I didn't look, because Grandpa Zheng didn't let me look, and prying into others’ privacy wasn't very good. I only knew that after giving this letter to Xiaohuan’s family, I could openly follow Xiaohuan, and no one could stop me.

However, after Zheng Yun read the letter, he had an incredulous look on his face, then looked at me and then at Xiaohuan, pointing at me and saying: "You guys are too outrageous, right?"

I clearly didn't understand what Zheng Yun meant, and asked very puzzled: "Is there any problem?"

Zheng Yun held back for a long time and finally didn't speak, then put away the letter and said: "Alright, since that’s the case, let’s go together!"

Regarding Zheng Yun’s strange reaction and behavior, I didn't ask, and didn't want to ask. Along the way, Xiaohuan didn't say much either. Ever since her grandfather left, except for playing and making trouble with me, Xiaohuan basically had the same expression to everyone else, no longer as happy and lively as before.

I held Xiaohuan’s hand and gently touched her head and said: "Xiaohuan, I know Grandpa’s departure was a big blow to you, but at least Brother is still here, and you are unhappy all day long. If Grandpa knew, he certainly wouldn't be happy in heaven!"

Hearing my words, Xiaohuan nodded seriously and said: "Alright, I will listen to Brother Yang Yun!"

Although Xiaohuan said so on the surface, she was actually still the same. Except for me, she was still cold and icy to others. Zheng Yun and his wife naturally hit a wall when they wanted to talk to Xiaohuan, but they didn't say anything. Anyway, after going back, the situation wasn't clear, so they felt they should wait and see first.

Through understanding, I learned that Xiaohuan’s maternal grandparents’ family were big figures in Jingcheng. The Zheng family couldn't be compared to the family in our small place. That was a big family specializing in Jingcheng, with assets of hundreds of billions, and many industries in the family. Both black and white paths had to give the Zheng family face.

I also studied the books Grandpa Zheng left for me, which were of great help to me. These days, I clearly felt that I had improved a lot, and I even felt that I could beat Zhang Yinuo.

Arriving at the Zheng family, I truly knew what a rich person was. The Zheng family’s mansion could truly be described as imposing, very imposing and magnificent, feeling like a palace. There were two big lions at the door. These big lions didn't look like simple cement carvings, and judging from the weathering on the lions, this thing definitely had a long history. It should be an old object from ancient times. This was simply two old antiques being forcibly placed at the door. If this were taken out for auction, how much would it be worth? It was simply a waste of heaven’s gifts.

Along the way, Zheng Yun told Xiaohuan and me the rules, telling us not to move around randomly when we went in, and not to talk randomly. After all, the old matriarch in the family was very rigid, and a slight carelessness would lead to punishment, so everything had to be careful.

Arriving at the hall, I found quite a few people, just like a company meeting. Could it be that these people were all from the Zheng family?

Because they knew about Xiaohuan’s arrival today, quite a few people came to the Zheng family. After seeing Xiaohuan and me enter, a group of people looked at Xiaohuan and me, pointing and whispering. Everyone naturally knew that Xiaohuan was the old matriarch’s granddaughter, and the object of their discussion was naturally me, all guessing my identity.

I saw the old lady sitting at the highest place, her expression majestic. I really didn't understand, she was already so old, and she was still keeping a straight face, wasn't she tired?

The old matriarch looked at Xiaohuan and then said: "Is this Xiaohuan? Come, come over, let Grandma see!"

Hearing the old matriarch’s words, Zheng Yun hurriedly touched Xiaohuan and whispered: "Go quickly, the old matriarch is calling you!"

Xiaohuan looked at this strange old lady on the stage, her expression very hesitant, and suddenly hid behind me in fear, not knowing what to do.

I turned my head, squatted down, gently touched Xiaohuan’s head, and said with a smile: "Xiaohuan, don't be afraid, she is your grandmother, go over and greet your grandmother!" ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
