Chapter 233 - 233 Are You Worthy?!
233 Are You Worthy?!
“Our children at most eat, drink, and have fun. When have we ever delayed serious matters?”
Fourth Grandpa looked embarrassed and did not know what to say. How could he not know what Wang Tiansheng meant to Chen Xing? He was a benefactor. If he supported him, Chen Xing’s path would be much smoother than now.
“I’ve already said that among the children in the family, Xiao Xing, Xiao Feng, and Yue Yue are the most promising.” Second Grandma suddenly said, “Chen Yun, why aren’t you apologizing to Chen Xing?”
“That’s right. Apologize!” Second Grandma continued.
“Apologize quickly!” An uncle spoke.
Chen Yun was faced with the gaze of many elders and his Second Grandpa, whose expression was extremely gloomy.
This time, no one pleaded for Chen Yun.
A few people wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, they sighed. They also sighed at Chen Xing for missing out on Wang Tiansheng.
“Chen Yun, you’ve indeed done something wrong. I can give you how much money you want and whatever you want. However, Wang Tiansheng’s future is involved. How can money make up for it?”
Chen Feng pretended to sigh and shook his head, his eyes filled with a gloating gaze.
Many elders looked at the young man below the hall. Some were mocking, some were angry, and some were happy.
At this moment, Chen Yun seemed to have been abandoned by the entire world.
However, at this moment, he slowly raised his head and gently knocked on the table.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?”
“Who do you think you are? Do you want me to apologize? You’re not worthy!”
What?!
Chen Xing’s expression changed. He did not expect Chen Yun to turn hostile on the spot.
The atmosphere in the venue instantly froze. His Second Grandma and the others were at a loss. They were used to criticizing their Fourth Brother’s family. When had they seen a junior scold them like this on the spot?
“Chen Yun, how can you speak to your elders like that?” His Second Grandpa’s expression darkened as he said sternly.
“Second Grandpa, I respect you because you’re an elder.” Chen Yun placed his hands behind his back and ignored the shocked gazes. He said coldly, “However, is the mere Wang Tiansheng making you force me to lower my head and apologize?”
“I’m your grandson and my grandfather is your biological brother. You keep saying that we’re relatives, but is this how relatives and elders are? Did Wang Tiansheng ask you to cut ties with me? Is that why you don’t acknowledge us?”
Chen Yun’s words were too sharp. Even with his Second Grandpa’s shrewdness, Chen Xing could not take it. His face turned ashen on the spot. His Second Grandma spoke anxiously.
“That’s not what our family means.”
“What else could it mean?” Chen Yun snorted coldly. “In your eyes, Wang Tiansheng might be a benefactor and you need to befriend him. But that’s your business. What has it got to do with me?”
“What kind of logic is this? Please explain it to me!”
“Chen Xing, get over here and tell me what happened that day. Why did I hit you? Don’t miss anything. Tell me nicely! Get over here!”
When Chen Feng, Chen Yue, and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
They had never expected the originally weak and easily bullied Chen Yun to show off his ability and look at them coldly.
Chen Xing was angry and regretful. He was so angry that Chen Yun did not care about his relatives’ reputation and turned hostile on the spot. Meanwhile, he regretted saying this out loud, causing his father, mother, grandparents to be embarrassed.
There were many things that could only be done and not said. In order to cling to Wang Tiansheng, he had sacrificed the dignity of his relatives. No matter what he said, it would not make sense.
Moreover, he could not say what he had done that day. If he did, he would be condemned by everyone.
One had to know that although the Fourth Grandpa was not favored, he was still an elder. If Chen Xing said what he did, it would definitely not be a small matter.
At that moment, he was silent. Facing Chen Yun’s words, he did not dare to move.
The people beside him were also suppressed by Chen Yun. At this moment, the entire room was silent. Immediately, they looked at Chen Xing’s expression and were deep in thought.
It was probably not that simple.
However, this was not the case in the Second Grandpa’s ears.
Now, Chen Yun was targeting Chen Xing, his grandson. How could he stand by and do nothing?
“Alright, alright.” Second Grandpa was so angry that his hands were trembling. He did not look at Chen Yun but looked straight at Chen Yun’s grandfather. “Fourth Brother, I didn’t expect you to raise such a grandson.”
Many elders also looked over. They could not be bothered to argue with a child like Chen Yun and directly went to the parents.
Chen Yun stood there without moving. He was very confident in his grandfather.
His grandfather was a proud scholar and hated clinging to others the most. Otherwise, he would have long lowered his head to the Chen family and joined them.
As expected, although Grandpa Chen Kang’s expression was ugly, he still said in a low voice, “Second Brother, although Xiao Yun was a little rude, what he said makes sense. Xiao Xing has to say what happened that day himself. Moreover, Xiao Xing will have to rely on himself to walk up step by step. Befriending nobles is ultimately a bypath.”
“You!”
Second Grandpa was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
What kind of bad temper did this family have?! They deserved to be in this state!
“Alright, that’s enough!” At the side, the Old Masters walked over and slammed the table. He shouted in a low voice, “We’re all biological brothers, uncles, and nephews. Are we making a fool of ourselves for outsiders?”
Seeing the Old Master fly into a rage, everyone instantly fell silent.
Many juniors did not dare to breathe loudly. Only Chen Yun stood there calmly.
At this moment, the Old Master walked over shakily and looked at the people in front of him. “What’s going on!”
His words were full of energy. He simply did not look like a 90-year-old person. At this moment, he looked at everyone with a burning gaze. Everyone lowered their heads as if they were afraid of him.
Even the Second Grandpa had calmed down at this moment. He looked at the Old Master in front of him and did not dare to act rashly. However, he was secretly happy. At this moment, the Old Master was here. One had to know that the Old Master liked his family the most and doted on Chen Xing the most. Now that something like this had happened to Chen Xing, wouldn’t his Fourth Brother’s family be finished?
At that moment, he stood up and quickly explained to the Old Master, adding fuel to the fire. Even Chen Xing did the same and quickly spoke up. When Chen Yun’s grandfather heard them frame them like this, he immediately spoke up.
When Chen Yun’s grandfather finished speaking, everyone knew what had happened that day. They immediately looked at Chen Xing and the others, and their expressions changed. Even the Second Grandpa did not expect this to happen. Chen Xing broke out in cold sweat and did not dare to look up.
When the Old Master heard this, he was originally prepared to side with his Second Brother’s family. Now, he did not say anything. He immediately looked at the Second Grandpa. “Second Brother!”
“Dad, go ahead.”
“In the future, you don’t have to do this. Give me whatever you can. If you don’t want to give me anything, forget it. If you want to come, come. If you don’t, get out of the Chen family. Remember, it doesn’t matter if there’s one more or one less Chen family! I don’t want to get angry today. Prepare to start the banquet!” The meaning of the Old Master’s words could not be more obvious.
Everyone was stunned. Then, they looked at the Fourth Grandpa’s family with extreme mockery in their eyes. The Old Master’s position had already been made clear.
At this moment, Chen Yun heard his words and looked at everyone. He sneered and a cold smile appeared on his face.
