Chapter 213: No! No! Miss, the young master is missing...
Hearing this, Cheng Laji's eyes rolled back in anger. She finally realized that she came back just to irritate her. She snorted coldly, decided to ignore Cheng Dongli, and sat aside to drink tea.
When Doctor Lang arrived, he saw this scene of loving mother and filial daughter. Of course, this was just his perception.
"Oh! Sister Li is back? Why is she alone?"
The other husbands following behind also greeted Cheng Dongli.
Cheng Dongli responded but ignored the master. Seeing this, the doctor pursed his lips, not wanting to be embarrassed.
When Cheng Dongli saw that everyone was present, she spoke to Cheng Laji;
"My brother is getting engaged in a few days. Please sort out my father's previous dowry. Those are what he left for my brother.
You stepped on his corpse and bullied his children. You have enjoyed enough in these years. I don't bring up the past, but it doesn't mean I know nothing.
If you know what's good for you, hand over the things and we can part ways in peace. Otherwise, I'm alone now and I'm not afraid of a fight to the death with you guys."
Hearing this, Doctor Lang turned pale, while Cheng Laji looked angry;
"What did you say? What do you mean by stepping on his dead body? What do you mean by dowry is here?
It was all spent by you and your sister in the early years, and now there is nothing left.
"You dare to fight to the death? I'm your mother, aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back?"
Doctor Lang saw that Cheng Laji had no feelings for them, and he smiled in his heart, and hurriedly said hypocritically;
"Oh my! Sister Li, you really wronged us. We have been feeding and drinking well for Shen Ge'er over the years, so how could there be any left?
It's good enough that we don't lose money. You don't know how expensive food and fuel are because you don't run the household, so we don't blame you.
You haven't been back for years, and I don't know what rumors you heard outside. Why do you come back to accuse me?
You make us look like the bad guys, not mentioning our merits and hard work. If you spread this out, how can we live like human beings?"
After saying this, Doctor Lang took a handkerchief and wiped away his non-existent tears.
Hearing this, the men at the back lowered their heads and smirked secretly, looking so shameless.
Cheng Dongli didn't intend to play the emotional card with them, she looked at the two with cold eyes and said;
"That's all I'm going to say. If I don't see anything tomorrow, just wait and see."
After saying this, Cheng Dongli left the Cheng Mansion regardless of how ugly the two people's faces were.
After Cheng Dongli left, Cheng Laji drove away all the husbands.
The doctor was left behind, looking embarrassed;
"Wife, what should we do? Looking at Sister Li's attitude, if we don't take out the things, she really won't let us go."
Cheng Laji's face was filled with anger. "If she dares, I don't believe she dares to do anything to me."
Hearing this, Doctor Lang was secretly delighted, his face showed a distressed look, and he said in a tea-like manner;
"Ah! Sister Li doesn't understand the hardship of being the head of the family at all. Fortunately, you still have Sister Xue and Brother Jin to stay with you.
Otherwise, how could such a big family survive? Did she think that her little money could really help?
If it weren't for your good management of the household, my wife, the family would have collapsed long ago. I didn't expect that Li Jie'er hasn't come back for so long.
As soon as he came back, he started to blame me. He didn't feel sorry for you as a mother at all. I think the family property should be returned to you. You are the head of the Cheng family."
Doctor Lang became more and more excited as he spoke, as if the business run by Cheng Dongli really belonged to the Cheng family. He had a very beautiful idea.
Once the property is taken back, he can persuade her and then it will become his, right?
I can't stop smiling just thinking about it.
Not only him, but even Cheng Laji felt that it was she who gave Cheng Dongli everything. Today, she dared to threaten her.
Then she wouldn't have to consider her feelings. Once the property was taken back, she would kick her siblings out of the house and expel them from the clan.
Cheng Dongli didn't know about the two people's crazy ideas, but she was not going to fight a battle without preparation. As soon as she went out, she ordered her men to tie up her mother's most beloved child and left a letter for them.
Day 2
According to Ji Xingle's request, the matchmaker went to Cheng's house happily and said some auspicious words of congratulations. He also told the amount of the betrothal gift given by the man who wanted to marry the man.
He told them when he would come to get engaged and asked them to wait for the money. Then he reached out to them for the red envelope and left without waiting for them to ask any more questions.
The matchmaker left Cheng's house and patted his chest with lingering fear. He didn't know how this family had offended the lady.
Tsk tsk tsk, the popular commodity is gone just like that. I wonder if they will be mad to death when they find out.
Anyway, no matter what, it was none of his business. He didn't do anything bad and he was paid. He would do whatever the master said. Then he rushed towards Qian Shuran's house without stopping.
Cheng Mansion
Thinking about what the matchmaker said, the one she's attracted to is the eldest son of the Cheng family, and the betrothal gift is over ten thousand taels!
The Cheng family's eldest master and Cheng Laji automatically thought that someone had taken a fancy to their Jin Ge'er, and they were very excited.
I never thought that the person the matchmaker was talking about would be Cheng Shenshen. After all, he had not been in the mansion for a long time.
He also didn't notice that his two most beloved children were missing.
"Not good! Not good!"
It was not until the servants' anxious voices came that the two men came back to their senses. Cheng Laji looked angry, while the doctor Lang stood up and cursed;
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! The matchmaker just came to congratulate you and you're already saying something bad. If you don't explain the reason to me today, I'll sell you out."
Hearing this, the servant turned pale and said quickly;
"Please spare me! Master, please spare me! I didn't mean to do that. It was the young master who disappeared."
"What? Brother Jin is missing?"
Doctor Lang's mind went blank for a moment, and he staggered, then was supported by Cheng Laji who was standing beside him.
Cheng Laji calmed the doctor down and asked the servant, "What's going on?"
The servant replied tremblingly;
"I saw that the young master had not yet woken up this morning, so I stood guard at the door. I didn't expect that at this time, there was still no movement in the young master's room.
I knocked on the door for a long time but got no response, so I opened the door on my own initiative and went in, but the young master was not in the room. "
When Cheng Laji was about to say something, another anxious voice came;
"Madam, sir, it's bad! The young lady is missing."
Now even Cheng Laji was panicked. Who was behind this?
Then the servant trembled and handed the letter in his hand to Cheng Laji; "Madam, this is the letter I saw in the young lady's room."
Cheng Laji quickly took the letter and became angrier the more he read it. "Okay, okay! Very good. How dare you threaten me?"
Doctor Lang, who was sitting nearby and crying, saw this and quickly snatched the letter from Cheng Laji's hand.
After reading the content of the letter, he kept crying, crying about how hard it was for him to work hard for the family for many years, and how difficult it was to be a stepfather...
He also cursed Cheng Dongli and her brother as ungrateful bastards, and even did not spare their dead father, and kept cursing them, as if the more he cried and cursed, the more this would become true.
While scolding, he also paid attention to Cheng Laji's expression. Seeing that her expression became more and more ugly, he brought up the old matter again;
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have been a stepfather. In the past, Li Jie'er and her brother always looked down on me.
They are not satisfied with anything I do, either... or because..."
