“Exactly, Mrs. Gone and I are distant relatives, but I think that was mostly fabricated by our ancestors. Regardless, whether we are related or not is not important, we just say that for the purpose of working together is all.”
As Zhu Bo was talking, he turned and looked at his son, “I have heard that this Miss Gong was a close friend to Cheng Xiao Xiao and she’s currently staying at Sacred Land Zhongyuan right now and will probably be there for quite a while.”
“Dad, what are you trying to say?”
Zhu Xiangyu wasn’t exactly happy hearing about news regarding the Cheng’s. Somehow that subject just makes him unhappy.
“Silly boy, Miss Gong is about your age and sort of your cousin, why don’t you go and pay her a visit?”
“No!” Zhu Xiangyu rejected that idea right away.
“Yu-er…..”
Zhu Bo frowned and his face darkened. He said to Zhu Xiangyu solemnly, “Yu-er, I have always thought of you as a rational kid who is always capable of keeping his emotions under control. I feel that I am a little disappointed!”
“…..”
Looking down, a hint of hurt flashed passed Zhu Xiangyu’s eyes. Ever since he had returned home, the harder he tried to forget that girl, the worse it had gotten and the deeper he got!
As that was the case, he all the more tried to force himself to not think about it, not hear about it, and just avoiding anything that has to do with Cheng Xiao Xiao or the Cheng’s.
And that was exactly why he rejected his father’s suggestion right away.
“Yu-er, don’t you feel that both Clan Master Qin and Valley Master Ji have been staying at the Cheng’s along with those from Shengseng and Yuni, was very odd?”
“What’s so odd about it, dad. Haven’t I already told you that Elder Ying of the Cheng’s was able to break the curse and breakthrough to martial monarch with the help of Cheng Xiao Xiao? What else could it be that kept them at the Cheng’s?”
“Exactly. So whether you have to go to Sacred Land Zhongyuan or hole out at the Cheng’s, you must find out how Cheng Xiao Xiao was able to help them breakthrough. You must know that this was as important to us, those at Green House Manor, as it was for everyone else!”
“Dad, why don’t you make the trip yourself? I could use some rest!”
“You!!”
