My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 178: Fierce Grandma

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Fierce Grandma

Coming out from her grandmother’s house, Tang Chuxia rubbed her hands together, it was really cold.

But as soon as she stepped out of the alley, she saw Hu Mingcheng.

She couldn’t help but look up at the sky, wondering if today was not a good day to go out.

Why else would she run into the two people she least wanted to see?

It was bad enough running into that infuriating Tang Wanqiu ahead, and now Hu Mingcheng shows up.

Deliberate, wasn’t it?

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but scowl.

She pretended not to see and tried to walk past, but Hu Mingcheng stopped her.

"Was it you?"

Hu Mingcheng looked quite upset, yet he still managed to hold back.

Tang Chuxia ignored him and continued to walk, but Hu Mingcheng wouldn’t let her get her way; he raised his hand to grab Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia hadn’t even retaliated when Hu Mingcheng was grabbed by the collar and flung out.

Tang Chuxia’s cheeks involuntarily twitched with sourness.

This was probably going to hurt for a long time.

Looking at the person who intervened, she wanted to roll her eyes even more.

Because she didn’t like the person who intervened either.

"Xiaxia, don’t be afraid!"

Yang Yingjie stood in front of Tang Chuxia, grinning like a protective knight.

Tang Chuxia laughed dryly, then pointing at Hu Mingcheng said, "Did you two arrange this together?"

Yang Yingjie waved his hand, "That wouldn’t be the case, but if I said I just happened to see it, would you believe me?"

Tang Chuxia saw the people coming out from the alley and actually believed him.

Because some middle-aged men dressed like senior officials had come out, all of them nodding and smiling at Tang Chuxia.

Though she wasn’t sure of their identities, she remembered that Yang Yingjie had been appointed as a secretary in Quan City by the City Committee, hence these men must definitely be senior officials.

She naturally couldn’t be impolite.

Regardless of who they were, appearing here surely wasn’t solely for her sake.

"See, I wasn’t lying?"

Yang Yingjie whispered with a pleading face.

Tang Chuxia gave him an annoyed look, then shouted at a man behind the crowd, "Uncle!"

Zheng Wenjun had no choice but to come forward from the crowd, still whispering some apologies to the officials beside him.

When he reached Tang Chuxia, he raised his hand to rub her head. "What are you doing here?"

Tang Chuxia pointed towards the door of the Zheng Mansion. "What do you think?"

Zheng Wenjun chuckled, having forgotten his own doorstep.

He lowered his voice, "Get back inside, don’t stay out here!"

Tang Chuxia also lowered her voice, "I would if I could, but do you see? Am I able to leave now?"

As she spoke, she saw Hu Mingcheng had gotten up and was standing opposite Yang Yingjie, both braced as if about to start a fight.

Zheng Wenjun sneered, "Scram!"

He was shouting at Hu Mingcheng.

Hu Mingcheng had previously looked down on the Zheng Family, considering them just a merchant family and nothing to worry about, but now with the senior officials standing by, he understood the situation.

His face couldn’t help but turn pale.

"I came to find Xiaxia!"

Tang Chuxia waved her hand, "He’s got nothing to do with me, at most a betrayed former fiancé!"

Zheng Wenjun had a face that looked hard to deal with and now as he stared coldly at Hu Mingcheng, Hu Mingcheng even began to shiver.

"I don’t like to repeat myself!"

Hu Mingcheng ran away.

Tang Chuxia burst into laughter, hooking Zheng Wenjun’s arm, "Uncle, should I stay with you guys?"

Zheng Wenjun hurriedly waved his hands, "You better go back, I don’t need you. What’s with this guy?"

He pointed at Yang Yingjie, who didn’t wait for Tang Chuxia to speak before he started sharing his thoughts.

Naturally, this only resulted in a cold look from Zheng Wenjun.

Yang Yingjie wasn’t worried.

He continued to smile cheerfully.

All smooth operators here, each understood the other well.

Watching the atmosphere between them, Tang Chuxia didn’t want to get involved and whispered to Zheng Wenjun, "Grandma knows about big cousin’s divorce. Be careful when you go home!"

After giving her uncle a heads-up, Tang Chuxia ran off.

She sure wasn’t staying around to be lectured by her uncle.

Watching his niece run off, Zheng Wenjunthen grabbed Yang Yingjie by the collar, "Don’t even think about courting my niece!"

"Old Zheng, don’t be so agitated. They’re just young people, chasing a bit isn’t a big deal!"

Someone laughed from the side.

Zheng Wenjun clicked his tongue, "I didn’t warn you, but my family’s matriarch despises the Yang Family the most!"

The person immediately shut up.

If it were anyone else, they might have dismissed it, but not when it concerned the matriarch.

She was daring enough to press a gun to their heads; if anyone spoke out of line, she really could send them to the afterlife.

The matriarch’s legends were many, and these leaders were all here visiting.

Yang Yingjie rubbed his nose, "Xiaxia is a nice girl, can’t I pursue her?"

Zheng Wenjun scoffed, "In your dreams!"

Anyone might be possible, just not someone from the Yang Family.

"Your crazy uncle is coming back, and you still have the leisure to date?"

Zheng Wenjun gave a reminder, and Yang Yingjie sighed.

"Uncle Zheng, do you think my uncle is nuts? Back then, he almost destroyed the Yang Family for a woman, we got no benefit from him, nearly got killed too, why release him now?"

Nobody knew what really happened with Yang Chao back then.

Some thought it was because of Wen Wenqing, but those in the know understood that Yang Chao was the main reason.

Several leaders came over, all from the same circle, all too aware of the situation.

"Your young uncle, although he can be crazy, isn’t entirely useless; he did many good things back then!"

Someone spoke a fair word.

Zheng Wenjun nodded, "Even though he didn’t truly want to do those things, the state couldn’t turn a blind eye!"

Yang Yingjie, still upset, retorted, "He’s just a madman. If only grandfather were still alive, he would have definitely killed him!"

It was clear they really disliked Yang Chao.

The topic wasn’t continued here.

Because they entered the Zheng Mansion.

The matriarch saw them, her expression less than pleased.

But unable to deny her son’s decision, she still showed a faint smile.

However, no sooner had the guests left than the grandmother gave Zheng Wenjun a beating.

Zheng Wenjun, despite his age, relived some of his childhood, being chased around by his elderly mother.

It was only when the grandmother tired out did he ask, "Why did you bring that Yang brat here? Whose side are you on?"

Zheng Wenjun could only try to explain, but the old lady didn’t want to hear it.

"Then tell me, when is Yang Chao coming back? When will he recognize his daughter?"

Zheng Wenjun didn’t know, so he could only offer an apologetic smile.

"What use are you, your sister has endured for your sake for so many years? Hasn’t she suffered enough? Don’t you care at all?"

Zheng Wenjun remained silent.

"I don’t care, if that Yang madman doesn’t take that damned girl away, I will attack the Yang Family, demolish their ancestral hall, and see what the dead Yang spirits really intend to do!"

Zheng Wenjun was ashamed and didn’t know how to soothe his mother when he spotted his eldest son sneaking out on tiptoes.

His eyes sparkled.
