Chapter 151: Misunderstandings of the Past

Cheng Ya threw herself into his arms and cried, “Where have you been all these years?”

“I couldn’t find you.”

Her questions made Cheng Yao’s eyes turn red, and he was at a loss.

When the two of them finally calmed down, they sat in the private room and looked at each other wordlessly.

Xiao Ying gulped and tugged at Cheng Yang’s sleeve under the table.

Cheng Yang said with a cold expression, “So tell me, what happened?”

His coldness was directed at Cheng Yao.

Cheng Ya regained her composure and stared intently at Cheng Yao as she asked, “Zhou Feicheng, why did you leave without saying goodbye back then?”

Zhou Feicheng?

Xiao Ying looked at Cheng Yao in confusion.

With a pain in his eyes that was no less intense than Cheng Ya’s, Cheng Yao said, “You don’t need me anymore.”

Cheng Ya did not understand what he meant.

As the two of them recollected what happened, everyone present finally understood that back then, Madam Cheng had objected to their relationship and lied that Cheng Ya was about to get married. As a result, Zhou Feicheng left and had been gone for more than ten years.

Xiao Ying was puzzled. Why would Academician Cheng Yao fall for such a simple trick?

Cheng Ya sneered and said, “Do you believe everything my mother says? Yet you never believe anything I say. In that case, leave.”

Cheng Yao was speechless. He opened his mouth but said nothing before leaving.

After he left, Cheng Ya’s expression changed.

Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sister, I think Academician Cheng Yao must have something he’s not saying.”

Cheng Ya was like a firecracker, ready to fire at any moment. “What trouble could he have? He… What did you just call him?”

She suddenly focused on something else.

Zhou Yao, who was sitting quietly at the side, suddenly said, “My uncle changed his name to Cheng Yao.”

Cheng Ya suddenly cursed and ran after him.

The three of them looked at each other. After a long time, Xiao Ying felt a little awkward.

Zhou Yao stared at her intently and said, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Cheng Yang interrupted directly, “No.”

With that, he pulled Xiao Ying along and prepared to leave.

Zhou Yao quickly stopped them. This time, he was looking at Cheng Yang.

He said, “If you dare to let her down, I’ll definitely not let you off.”

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ying and sighed helplessly. “Since you don’t like me, I won’t show myself.”

The moment he turned around, he looked like a lonely traveler.

Xiao Ying’s emotions were also a little low, and she couldn’t even be bothered to deal with Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang’s face was dark as he held her hand tightly.

Xiao Ying suddenly said, “Do you think Sister tried to commit suicide because of Academician Cheng Yao?”

Cheng Yang agreed absentmindedly.

Xiao Ying suddenly stopped and stared intently at him as she asked, “Previously, Sister said that you had a secret. What is it?”

Cheng Yang paused and said, “I haven’t even settled scores with you about Zhou Yao.”

Xiao Ying’s attitude weakened as well, but she still forced herself to maintain her composure as she said, “Don’t… Don’t change the topic. I’m talking about you.”

Cheng Yang suddenly chuckled and stroked her head. “You’ve become smarter. You even noticed that I’m changing the topic.”

Xiao Ying looked up smugly and said, “Of course.”

Her thoughts were instantly led away by Cheng Yang, and she forgot about the topic just now.

Cheng Yang smiled again in a place she couldn’t see. What a little fool.

When the two of them returned to the Cheng manor, Cheng Ya was not back yet. Only Mother Cheng and Wen Jing were in the living room.

Mother Cheng was talking to Wen Jing with reddened eyes. When she saw them coming in, she wiped the expression off her face and asked, “Where’s your sister? How can you let her go out alone at a time like this? What if she wants to die again?”

Cheng Yang said coldly, “Isn’t that what you want?”

Mama Cheng was stunned. She clutched her chest and scolded, “How is that what I want? I raised the two of you painstakingly. Is this how you repay me?”
