Chapter 138: Mother Cheng Giving a Hard Time

Cheng Ya teased her. “Ying’er, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have expected my old-fashioned brother this side to him. You are really awesome. In the future, you must torture him as much as you can and help me vent my anger.”

Xiao Ying stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth in embarrassment.

Cheng Yang said without looking up, “I haven’t settled scores with you about what happened last time yet.”

Cheng Ya imitated Xiao Ying and stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, trying her best to indicate that she would not say anything else.

Seeing that the three of them had excluded her, Mother Cheng’s expression darkened. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and walked away.

The Cheng siblings ignored her. Xiao Ying quietly tugged at Cheng Yang’s sleeve.

Cheng Yang held her hand, telling her not to worry.

After a while, Mother Cheng returned with a smile.

The three of them didn’t know what she was up to.

Mother Cheng said, “A guest will come later.”

The three of them did not pay attention to her.

After lunch, the nanny came to clear the dining table.

A woman walked in.

This person was a familiar face.

Xiao Ying thought she looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

Mother Cheng immediately said, “Wen Jing, you’re here. Sit down.”

This attitude was worlds apart from the indifference she had shown to Xiao Ying earlier.

Wen Jing smiled gently and greeted everyone.

Her elegant demeanor made Mother Cheng nod in satisfaction.

Wen Jing looked at Xiao Ying and smiled. “Speaking of which, we’ve met before. But you were still young, only ten years old. At that time, you rushed out and ruined my date with Cheng Yang.”

Her words were filled with thorns, causing Xiao Ying’s memories to return and remind her of who she was.

Mother Cheng’s expression darkened. “I knew she wasn’t a good person. Learning to cause trouble from a young age.”

Wen Jing smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t say that. Miss Xiao Ying was still young.”

Mother Cheng snorted and patted her hand affectionately. “As the saying goes, one’s adulthood can be foreseen at the age of three. Being young is no excuse. Let’s just take you as an example. I watched you grow up. You’ve been sensible from a young age.”

These words vividly displayed Mother Cheng’s difference in attitude towards the two.

Wen Jing’s smile widened as she looked at Xiao Ying provocatively.

Xiao Ying’s expression was calm, and she was not angry. She stopped Cheng Yang, who was about to speak.

She said, “I’ll get going first.”

With that, she left the Cheng manor.

Cheng Yang’s expression darkened as he looked at Wen Jing coldly and said, “There are things you should know not to say.”

Wen Jing took a step back in fear. Only when she felt Mother Cheng behind her did she feel more confident.

Mother Cheng said disapprovingly, “Cheng Yang, how can you talk to Wen Jing like that?”

Cheng Yang’s expression was already cold as he said, “I may call you Mother, but that doesn’t mean you can interfere in my business. Since you’re dissatisfied with us, we won’t come back.”

With that, he walked out of the house.

No matter how Mother Cheng shouted behind him, he didn’t look back.

Mother Cheng threw the teacup in her hand to the ground in anger and said angrily, “If you leave, don’t come back again.”

Cheng Ya looked on coldly and snorted. “Do you think that these words can still threaten us?”

Mother Cheng’s anger was redirected at Cheng Ya. “I raised you two painstakingly. Is this how you repay me?”

Cheng Ya’s eyes turned dark and her voice became low and hoarse. “We didn’t want to either, but you’re going overboard. Sooner or later, we will lose all our feelings for you.”

She added meaningfully, “Cheng Yang is different from me.”

With that, she left.

Madam Cheng was even more anxious and kept shouting as she smashed everything in the house.

Wen Jing backed away in fear after seeing her being so crazed.
