ch 157 - Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone 10 (2/2)

The entire parlor was silent and nobody responded to his question. The first elder sitting in the upper seat still have his eyes closed, as though he was asleep.

“The news have been confirmed, we must take care of this!” Master Cheng glanced over at everyone and said with unreconciled emotions.

“Ahem ahem….” Third elder fake coughed. With everyone else looking on, he started slowly, “Cheng Biyuan belongs in our bloodline after all. No matter what happens, what’s his also belong to the Cheng’s!”

He stopped after that and said no more.

His meaning was clear, no matter what Cheng Biyuan over at Willow possessed, these all counted toward the Cheng’s properties. In other words, they have the right to control any properties belonging to Cheng Biyuan and his family.

The Eleventh Elder, sitting far in the back, had his eyes half opened and full of sarcasm. All these folks seemed to have forgotten that they have already crossed Cheng Biyuan and his entire family off of the family tree, and now…

Whatever belonged to Cheng Biyuan also belonged to them? That was quite ironic, do these people enjoy going back on their own words?

The parlor went quiet again!

That was not the respond that Master Cheng was looking for. His face darkened some more.

Fourth elder glanced over at First Elder, pondered for a second, and said, “If nobody else disagree, we will just send someone to Cheng Biyuan at Willow and communicate our thoughts to him!”

“Who’s going to go?” Master Cheng responded to his words. Looking at him coldly, he said, “You?”

“Me? I was not that close to Cheng Biyuan. If we are looking for a suitable candidate, I say….”

The Fourth Elder smiled with a shred of embarrassment and turned to look behind him, “I think Eleventh Elder would be a better candidate. He was the closest to Cheng Biyuan. He will be best for this assignment!”
