Chapter 766: Probing
Cheng Che could not bear to treat Yin Jia like the others. After all, she was his biological sister. He was certain that she was unaware of the Yin family’s filthy thoughts and plans. However, he also knew that she had her own agenda for wanting him to return to the Yin family. It was not surprising considering she had grown up in such a twisted environment; it was not easy for her to grow up safely among those people who had no bottom lines.
At the same time, Yin Yi pestered Mu Chen with all sorts of questions, but Mu Chen did not answer her and only chatted with Ye Cheng.
It was really unexpected that Mu Chen and Ye Cheng could still chat despite the incident with Ye Xin. The world was really unpredictable.
It seemed as though Ye Cheng had forgotten about Ye Xin’s matter as he continued to chat with Mu Chen about their youth in the past.
Mu Chen was also very cooperative. There was almost no lull in the conversation.
As for Guan Tang, she was very silent. No matter which side it was, she could not get a word in edgewise. She could not be as shameless as Yin Yi, after all. With that, she could not help but feel anxious.
When Yin Jia finally noticed Guan Tang, she said to Cheng Che, “It’s not been easy for Guan Tang. Grandpa has said that she’ll be treated as a member of the Yin family. In the future, when she gets married, her treatment will be no different from that of mine and Yin Yi. Cheng Che, she’s innocent. You can’t blame her.”
Guan Tang’s eyes brimmed with tears immediately.
Cheng Che nodded gently and said, “Sister, I understand.”
Yin Jia was very satisfied with Cheng Che’s attitude.
…
At this time, Cheng Che seemed to have recalled something. He asked, “Does our family have anyone else from the younger generation?”
Upon hearing this question, Yin Jia was stunned while Guan Tang quickly averted her eyes in panic.
Cheng Che looked at Yin Jia silently for an answer.
After a moment, Yin Jia replied frostily, “Yes. Yin Yi has a biological brother. He’s our half-brother. His name is Yin Zheng. We also have a cousin; his name is Yin Jian. That’s all.”
Cheng Che asked without changing his expression, “Why aren’t they here? I’ve never heard Grandpa and the others mention them…”
Yin Jia frowned slightly before she patiently explained, “Those two troublemakers stirred up a scandal and tarnished the reputation of the Yin family. As a result, Grandpa grounded them so they could reflect on their mistakes. It’s been about half a year, right, Guan Tang?”
After Yin Jia threw the ball into Guan Tang’s court, Guan Tang hurriedly nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes. Grandpa that they’d be grounded until they realize their mistakes.”
Cheng Che asked curiously, “What did they do? It can’t be that bad, right? Grandpa has such a good temper…”
Yin Jia smiled immediately and said, “Grandpa only has a good temper toward you. Other people don’t have such good treatment. Let me tell you, Grandpa is like the emperor in our family. His words are absolute. You’re the only one who can challenge him.”
Cheng Che said, “Then, I’m even more curious about the trouble they caused. Knowing that Grandpa has a bad temper, they still dared to stir up trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Jia thought about it for a moment before she said, “In fact, we’re not too sure about what happened. We only know that Grandpa was very angry and grounded them so they could reflect on their mistakes. No one’s allowed to plead for mercy or explain on their behalf. Although Grandpa has a short temper, I’ve never seen him so angry before.”
Cheng Che knew that Yin Jia did not know much about the matter so he quickly changed the topic. However, he could vaguely feel Guan Tang looking at him. Obviously, she had something to say to him, and it was probably related to his mysterious half-brother and cousin. Guan Tang was truly not simple; she even knew matters that his sister was seemingly unaware of.
Before Cheng Che finished eating, he felt his phone vibrate. He quickly took a look and saw that it was a message from Guan Tang.
