Xiaohuan is still young, it’s still time for learning, I think this matter can be discussed later!\" The man who looked similar to Zheng Yun stood out at this moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old matriarch looked at this person unhappily, then said: \"I just said this matter, this matter is settled. Whoever objects is going against me, don't you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the person just now was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: \"Sorry, Old Matriarch, the child didn't dare, it was the child’s rashness!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the old matriarch scanned everyone present and said: \"Who else has an opinion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. Even the old matriarch’s own biological son had suffered a setback, so who would dare to touch the brow of the old matriarch at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still wanted to say something, but was glared at by the old matriarch, scaring me into swallowing my words. This was simply not giving people a way to live. I was arranged to live like this, and even the major events of my life had already been arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lay in my room depressed. Although the house here was more comfortable than any place I had lived in, I always felt very disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very good here, that was true, but at least I had friends I knew on my side. I didn't know how Zhang Wu and Zhang Yinuo and the others were doing. After falling into the moat before, my phone was also lost. Now I didn't have their numbers and couldn't contact them at all. Fortunately, there was a computer here where I could log in to QQ and WeChat, but the awkward thing was that because I hadn't logged in to WeChat for a long time, I actually needed verification. My earliest phone number was gone, and I couldn't verify it at all. QQ was the same, which meant I couldn't contact them at all now. I could only get a card first and then see if I could retrieve QQ and WeChat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the few days in the Zheng family, I roughly understood the Zheng family’s form. The Zheng family was basically divided into three factions. One was the eldest son, which was the person who mocked Zheng Yun at that time. This eldest son was called Zheng Hong, and he had a son called Zheng Tao. This faction of Zheng Hong had always been a popular figure in the Zheng family, and they were also the people most likely to inherit the Zheng family’s enterprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second son was called Zheng Han, who had always been abroad, and he had a son called Zheng Yi. Zheng Han and Zheng Hong had always been at odds, often having differences of opinion at home, and there were quite a few industries in the family handed over to Zheng Han to manage, which was also the person most likely to snatch Zheng Hong’s successor position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third son was Zheng Yun. Zheng Yun was different from the first two. Zheng Yun only had a small branch company of the Zheng family under his hand, basically having no power in his hands, and had no thoughts about the industry. It could be said that he had no desires and no demands. He had a daughter called Zheng Wei, who was currently still in school, and was the person least likely to inherit the Zheng family’s industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xiaohuan and I came, Zheng Tao and Zheng Yi had both come to find us, wanting to get close to us, but Xiaohuan had the same expression to everyone except me, and I didn't intend to entangle with them. Mainly, I didn't want to participate in the struggle for power. They came to find Xiaohuan and me, it was clear they wanted to use us to suppress the other side, to realize their status in the Zheng family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle, the old matriarch talked to me alone, mainly investigating my previous background. For these upper-class people, wanting to know a person’s information was too simple. Regarding my previous information, the old matriarch didn't care much, just warned me not to use my previous name for the time being. The old matriarch got me a new identity. I was now called Zheng Yun, an orphan with no parents. Xiaohuan’s parents adopted me, Xiaohuan was my foster sister, and the old matriarch was my foster grandmother. With this identity, I could safely go to school in Jingcheng and be a rich kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the old matriarch arranged our studies. Honestly, I didn't intend to go to school here, because I wanted to go back, but thinking about the promise to Grandpa Zheng that I would protect Xiaohuan, it wasn't good to leave. Because the situation in the Zheng family wasn't clear now, whether Xiaohuan was safe or in danger wasn't certain, so I couldn't leave for the time being, so I prepared to shelve the plan to go back for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaohuan and I each went to school. Xiaohuan had also learned some knowledge from me before. She wasn't repulsed by learning. Knowing that she was going to school with me, she was also exceptionally happy. The only thing that made her unhappy was that she and I weren't in the same class. She was honestly in the third year of junior high, while I continued my third year of high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was December, and the first academic year of the third year of high school was almost over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the long-lost school, I felt exceptionally comfortable in my heart. The only thing I didn't expect was that one day I would actually go to an aristocratic school. This school was a famous aristocratic institution in Jingcheng. Those without status in the family couldn't go to this school at all. This school was simply a gathering place for rich second generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the Zheng family, the principal and the head teacher were exceptionally polite to me. The teachers here were exceptionally polite to every student, mainly because they were afraid. After all, the forces behind these little ancestors weren't simple. If they offended one by accident, their days in the future would be finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed the head teacher in front of me and came to the classroom absent-mindedly. Passing by every classroom, I found that it was simply chaotic, not at all like a classroom, but rather like a vegetable market, noisy, doing everything inside, playing cards, sleeping, putting on makeup, couples hugging and kissing, everything. And the teacher on the stage was lecturing on his own as if nothing had happened in front of the blackboard. It seemed he most likely didn't dare to manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding such a school, I was actually truly helpless, but it didn't matter, anyway, it was just to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed the head teacher to my own class, Class 6 of the third year of high school. However, what surprised me was that this classroom was exceptionally quiet. Although very few people listened to the lecture below, everyone exceptionally tacitly didn't make a sound. Except for the teacher lecturing on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head teacher said apologetically to the teacher who was lecturing at this time: \"Sorry, sorry to disturb you, Teacher Zhang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the head teacher walked to the podium, knocked on the table lightly and said: \"Students, today a new student has come to our class, his name is Zheng Yun, everyone should help the new student more in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students in the classroom all turned their eyes to me, with a look of surprise, and all started to discuss. The originally quiet classroom instantly became noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a loud shout: \"What are you arguing about, arguing to the point of disturbing my sleep!\" ===== CHAPTER 189 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-11T15:09:04.179Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7186c819cad4a614d7beb06f2edf3862f8a6c15bb32776286384cc63fe5a13fd","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-189","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-187",227,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-warlord-cover.jpg"]
