186: Eye Drops

[T/N: Eye drops = A metaphor with the same words as the medical application, and similar meaning. It means to make a small report to a superior/leader/elder about someone else who is secretly making trouble.]

Since Lei Yunze came out to help Wang Ziyu, and was seen by nearby students, the news of this gossip spread in Beijing University. Lei Yunze’s identity was higher than Wei Wei’s by one or two grades. The latter also only relied on his identity for his school prestige, there was no real material. Lei Yunze was still different. He was not only the most handsome school grass of Beijing University, but his academic performance often entered the top three in the grade, he was a top student. Because he did not come to Beijing University every day, along with his identity, it added a little mystery to him.

In this way, he should have been unable to get involved with Wang Ziyu. However, he came forward to help Wang Ziyu. Once, it could be said to be coincidental. Twice was a problem. Now everyone was guessing what the special relationship between Wang Ziyu and Lei Yunze was.

This was Wei Wei's second time finding trouble with Wang Ziyu. However, when he had just arrived in Wang Ziyu's classroom, before he said anything, Lei Yunze had come.

He seemed to be wanting to find trouble, so Lei Yunze directly told him that he was going to cover Wang Ziyu in the future, before he could even say anything. If he dared to do something with Wang Ziyu, he would have trouble with him. Wei Wei had not even answered yet, when Wang Cheng already came.

"Second brother, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

The two walked on the campus path, and Wang Ziyu held his arm and smiled happily. Her tender and delicate pale face bathed in the warm sunlight as if exuding a bright light.

Wang Cheng glanced at her with a smile. "There is a lovely younger sister studying at Beijing University. As your second brother, I can’t wait to see you every day."

"Ew. When did my second brother learn to say such nasty words? Would it be for a girlfriend?" Wang Ziyu blushed when he spoke.

He didn’t have a girlfriend, but he did have a boyfriend. However, he didn't need to mention that right now.

Wang Cheng shifted the topic and said: "If Wei Wei dares to come make trouble in the future, call me immediately. Your second brother will help you to clean him up so that he will never dare to appear in front of you in the future."

Wang Ziyu immediately remembered that when they left earlier, her second brother threatened Wei Wei. Her small face grew a little worried. "Second brother, that Wei Wei's family background is very large, we don't want him to hold a grudge against us. This time, although Lei Yunze helped, he can't help us for a lifetime. Wei Wei is a kind of very small-minded person who holds grudges. If we embarrass him in public, he will remember it for a long time."

Wang Cheng stopped suddenly. "Xiao Yu, I forgot to tell you something."

His expression was so serious that Wang Ziyu was taken aback. "What's the matter?"

"You and I are not actually brother and sister. I was picked up by my father. Some time ago, my real parents found me. Now I have recognized them. In a few days, my mother and maternal grandfather will host a birthday party for me on the 17th. It is my real birth date then."

Wang Ziyu was dumbfounded. It took her a long time to react, only for her to pound him with tears and laughter. "Second brother, you are too good. Such a story can be made up, it’s not funny at all." The first reaction she had was that her second brother was lying to her.

"I'm not kidding. My real parents are the Zheng family, that is, Wei Wei's mother's family. Our parents and eldest brother know of this. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Wang Ziyu couldn't laugh now, and her expression was flickering towards crying. "Really?"

"Really!"

Mama Wang guessed it right. This incident was indeed a blow to Wang Ziyu. She had a deep affection for Wang Cheng, deeper than towards Wang Ning’an, and she suddenly found that this person had no blood relationship with her. It seemed that he would never be the same again.

Wang Cheng held her shoulders and comforted, "Silly girl, aren't I still your second brother? Are you not going to treat me as your brother? No matter whether I have a blood relationship with you, we are still brother and sister, aren’t we? It's just like your future husband. You are not related to him, but you can still be a family. You are so smart, you should not need to hear this kind of reasoning from your second brother.”

"How can you make such a metaphor?" Wang Ziyu burst into tears with a smile.

"I think it’s all the same anyway."

When he coaxed his sister to laugh, Wang Cheng knew that she was in a good mood, and she could calm down to figure things out. Although a blood relationship was very important, for them, the most important thing was that they lived together for so many years of their lives.

Wang Cheng finally asked her if she would go to his birthday banquet that day. Wang Ziyu felt that she was definitely not suitable for such a banquet of the high society, so she refused. Wang Cheng wanted to make it up to her, and took her to the mall to buy some clothes.

The Imperial Capital was very cold in the winter. Wang Cheng saw that she wore the same down jacket as last time. He knew that Wang Ziyu must be reluctant to spend money on clothes. She still didn’t want him to spend money as well, but he did not let her resist.

"Xiao Yu, you have to be considerate of the local tyrant. It feels very bad to have money to spend."

Wang Ziyu was amused.

After buying clothes, Wang Cheng sent her back to school before returning to the villa.

He came back relatively late, Chu Yifeng and David had already returned. Wang Cheng picked up a grapefruit to prepare dinner, when he saw David’s blue face.

"Who hit you?"

Chu Yifeng held his arms in silence.

David cried and covered his bruised face, hissing in pain. "The boss's family wanted him to return to the Chu house. The boss disagreed, and the two sides fought. I wasn’t even the one to persuade him, when I was punched and hurt, and when I fell, my face got hit again by the pillar, woo~"

Alas, what kind of bad luck was this?

Wang Cheng knew that Chu Yifeng was very powerful and was not worried that he would be injured. He returned to the room and wiped David with a bottle of medicinal wine. He then asked Chu Yifeng to cook with him in the kitchen.

"Why have you been out for so long today?" Chu Yifeng took off his thick coat and took the apron that Wang Cheng handed him. He was not used to it the first time, but became immune after more times.

Wang Cheng went around to help him tie the straps. He also wore one himself, otherwise water or oil stains would splash on his body, which was troublesome to wash. Because of the cold weather, Wang Cheng didn’t want to hand wash his clothes and so his pants and jackets were thrown directly into the washer.

"If it wasn’t for the banquet...By the way, when I went to Beijing University to find my sister today, I saw your cousin, so cool. He was not the same as the last time I saw him. The last time, he was the same as a middle schooler." He was like a bear in front of his cousin, but he acted so cold in front of outsiders.

"Do you feel rest assured when he is taking care of your sister?" Chu Yifeng threw the cabbage from his hand into a basin filled with water, then took the leaves and washed them; he could only do the washing.

"Not yet, I have to teach Wei Wei a profound lesson. Otherwise, he’ll always think I'm a sick cat, who will only groan without inflicting pain."

Chu Yifeng thought for a while and said, "The Zhou family will hold a birthday party for you, and the people of the Zheng family will also be there. Wei Wei and his parents will definitely not miss this great opportunity. You just need to say a few words in front of your parents. Your parents will tell your grandfather that if you change your surname to Zhou now, the Zhou Group is likely to be yours in the future. Your grandfather will reassure you and will follow your wishes all the time.”

The more Wang Cheng thought about it, the more it made sense. After dinner, he called Mother Zheng. Once they reached the topic, Wei Wei was mentioned.

Mother Zheng's impression of Wang Ziyu was based only on a bunch of information. However, that did not prevent her from feeling good about Wang Ziyu, who she had never met. Who didn’t like a child who loved to learn and was smart—not to mention that she was her younger son's most beloved sister.

Wei Wei knew that Wang Cheng had given eye drops the day before the banquet. He was so angry that he wanted to go to Wang Cheng to settle accounts immediately. However, Zheng Ru slapped him back on the sofa, and he became honest.

Zheng Ru wanted to kill him after knowing the cause and effect. Why did she give birth to such a stupid son? Wang Cheng was in the limelight now, and even the old man was obedient towards him. A grandson in his league dared to oppose Wang Cheng. It was good enough that they didn’t come to handle him in person. No wonder they wanted to expose him in front of the elders. Now, the old man had spoken, and Wei Wei was not allowed to attend Wang Cheng's birthday party. She originally wanted to take him to bring him around, but it was all over now.

In the morning, Wang Cheng was busy receiving Tong Yangyang from Shanhai City. However, because he had something to do, the task was given to the volunteer, Huang Tong’an. Huang Tong’an did not help Tong Yangyang arrange a hotel, instead bringing him back to his own home.

Mother Zheng had called him in the morning, and Wang Cheng had to hurry there again. The banquet was being held in the Zhou family mansion. The Zhou family mansion was originally large, so it was no problem to accommodate hundreds of people.

Once at the Zhou home, Wang Cheng saw the servants busy under the command of the housekeeper. The originally empty living room was more beautifully decorated, with many paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, and valuable ornaments on the corners. Why? To look grand and luxurious.

Mother Zheng went upstairs to see his grandfather. She asked the Zhou steward to take Wang Cheng around and get him acquainted with the home, so as not to lose himself in the house.

The Zhou steward was a man in his fifties who looked very kind. Although Wang Cheng had not been with him, he seemed to recognize Wang Cheng. He smiled at Wang Cheng like an amiable elder. He had worked in the Zhou family for decades. Except for Zhou Shichang, everyone, even Zhou Lin and her husband, had to be kind to him.
