Chapter 929: Chapter 925: Reunion
Le Zhengsheng was angry, but he still had to find Sister Gu and Xiao Zheng.
They were without support, leaving Hai City to come here... At present, Le Zhengsheng is still their family.
Soon news came, "Young Master, there are no exit records for them at the exit station."
They haven’t left the Holy City, so they are still here? It will be much easier to find them then.
Le Zhengsheng ordered in a deep voice, "Check all the hotels, inns, rental apartments, and homestays! Don’t overlook any possible places!"
"Yes."
Le Zhengsheng entered through the foyer, and Le Zhengpeng was just coming out of the dining room. Seeing his son, "You’re back?"
"Hmm." Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Dad, haven’t you rested yet?"
Le Zhengpeng frowned, "What did you just say to check? What do you mean by not overlooking any possible places?"
"..." Le Zhengsheng was silent, knowing full well that his father was very displeased with Gu Xiaoning right now...
For some reason, although Le Zhengsheng was clearly hurt thoroughly by Gu Xiaoning, he instinctively still protected her.
"You!" Le Zhengpeng banged the floor with his cane, making a thumping sound, "What am I supposed to say about you? I already know, you’re searching the whole city for Sister Gu and Xiao Zheng!"
"Dad..."
"Why are you looking for them?" Le Zhengpeng interrupted his son, not wanting to hear more, "You have no relationship anymore, right? Her own mother and brother, she’s already abandoned! Why are you looking? Son, are you out of your mind?"
Le Zhengsheng frowned, unable to respond.
Le Zhengpeng was truly heartbroken, "Son! This one is like this, and that one is like that too! When will you ever think about yourself? Especially this Gu Xiaoning, marrying into our family was already a reach for her! But, she’s shameless enough to do such things, if I don’t have someone teach her a lesson..."
"Dad!"
Le Zhengsheng was anxious, growling, "Don’t touch her!"
"You..." Le Zhengpeng was stunned, looking at his son in surprise.
Le Zhengsheng’s brow was tightly knit, and he said sternly, "Dad, I’ll handle my own affairs, I only say this once, whether it’s her or her family, do not touch them... otherwise, I won’t forgive you!"
Silence, for a long while.
Le Zhengpeng nodded awkwardly, "Fine, fine... Alright then! Be a fool if you want! I won’t interfere anymore!"
He paused, "But, Sheng, remember, the child in her belly is of the Lezheng Family... I won’t yield on that! When the child is born, it must be brought back home!"
Said his piece, and turned to go upstairs.
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brow and rubbed his forehead, a headache splitting through him.
...
There was news about Sister Gu and Xiao Zheng, and after receiving it, Le Zhengsheng immediately went to find them.
The car stopped in the old town district of the Holy City, in front of a dilapidated and crumbling building.
Le Zhengsheng got out of the car, and the servant pointed upstairs, "Young master, they’re up there."
Le Zhengsheng frowned, nodding.
He stepped up the stairs, walking through the narrow corridor, each step creaking ominously with the brittle wood beneath, reflecting the residence’s condition.
Reaching the second floor, he heard someone yelling, "Hey! You little lunatic, how dare you steal food? Hey, aren’t you letting go quickly?"
"Ah..." someone screamed miserably.
Then came more yelling, "Let go! Or I’ll beat you to death! Idiot!"
"Ah..." Sister Gu’s voice rushed out, and she dropped to her knees with a thud, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry! He didn’t mean it... My child, he... I’m sorry, he really didn’t steal food! Please, don’t hit him!"
Upon hearing this, Le Zhengsheng felt a chill in his heart.
Quickening his pace, he rushed up, grabbing the woman’s wrist.
The woman was raising a mop, about to strike Xiao Zheng.
Le Zhengsheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Put it down!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, "Who are you?"
"..." Le Zhengsheng was silent for a moment but still said, "I’m his brother-in-law."
"Oh!" The woman looked Le Zhengsheng up and down, "A pretty decent brother-in-law, huh? Then how come you let your mother-in-law and little brother-in-law stay in such a place?"
Upon seeing Le Zhengsheng, Xiao Zheng suddenly threw himself onto Le Zhengsheng’s leg, clutching it tightly, as if he’d found a lifeline, and didn’t let go.
As soon as Sister Gu saw Le Zhengsheng, tears fell straight away, she was too shocked, having no face to face him, "Xiao Zheng, come here..."
The woman laughed, "You really are a family, then... Your little brother-in-law steals my food, even bit me, how do we settle this?"
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brow, took his wallet out of his pocket, and pulled out a wad of cash, "Is it enough?"
The woman beamed, "More than enough!"
The woman took the money and finally left.
Then Le Zhengsheng turned to look at Sister Gu and Xiao Zheng, "Mom..."
Sister Gu couldn’t face it, closed her eyes, and shook her head, "Ah Sheng, I can’t bear you calling me that... After what Gu Xiaoning did, Xiao Zheng and I can’t trouble you any longer! Don’t call me mom, I have no face to see you!"
"Mom." Le Zhengsheng’s throat was tight, taking in their surroundings, "How will you live here with Xiao Zheng?"
Sister Gu was tearful, "We used to live like this too... Life is hard, but we manage!"
"Then what about Xiao Zheng’s future?" Le Zhengsheng sighed, "Are his studies abandoned too? Won’t you continue his treatment? Both doctors and teachers said Xiao Zheng has made great progress, didn’t they?"
Sister Gu shook her head, "This is Xiao Zheng’s fate, people ought to accept their fate... Shouldn’t covet things that don’t belong to them. I’ve always taught my child this way, but I don’t know why Ningning changed..."
Speaking of Gu Xiaoning, silence fell again.
Xiao Zheng suddenly raised his head, looking at Le Zhengsheng, "...Brother."
For Xiao Zheng, this is the title he decided to give Le Zhengsheng.
Le Zhengsheng gritted his teeth, "Mom, get up, you and Xiao Zheng can’t stay here, and Xiao Zheng can’t carry on like this. Regardless of Ningning, I need to live up to what Xiao Zheng calls me... brother."
"But." Sister Gu shook her head, "We have no right to depend on you anymore! This isn’t right."
Le Zhengsheng frowned, "Alright, since you need to work, then... let me arrange your job! Xiao Zheng’s medical bills and tuition, consider it as a sponsorship from me... You can pay me back gradually."
"Ah Sheng." Sister Gu’s eyes brimmed, she kneeled towards Le Zhengsheng.
The old floor, battered as Sister Gu kowtowed, thudded heavily.
"Mom..." Le Zhengsheng couldn’t bear it, wanting to stop her.
Xiao Zheng, not understanding what was happening, saw his mother doing this, let go of Le Zhengsheng and, imitating his mother, kowtowed to him too.
Le Zhengsheng felt more and more bitter, "Mom, Xiao Zheng, don’t do this... Please stand up."
Sister Gu was crying endless tears, "Young master Le Sheng, your magnanimity, your great kindness, Xiao Zheng and I will remember for life, even if we have to be cattle or horses for you!"
Le Zhengsheng’s nose stung with emotion. He never needed them to be cattle or horses; he’s just afraid... that one day when Gu Xiaoning understands, she would regret it!
This is, as a couple... the last thing he can do for her!
