Chapter 180 Force Her to See Us
Chapter 180 Force Her to See Us
"I am the youngest daughter in the family. Your great-grandfather dotes on me the most. My two older brothers have always given in to me since I was young. To the point that I have been spoiled. Everything must be done according to my wishes..."
Old Madam Cheng was talking about her youth. At that time, she was still a simple and pampered young lady. She was very much loved at home and a little paranoid about some things. To the extent that she insisted on marrying the man named Cheng, no matter how her family tried to persuade her, she would not change her mind. Later, she married to the capital city almost regardless of her parents' opposition and cut off contact with her parents.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Cheng also felt a little sad.
The misfortunes in my life are all my own fault. I was blind to choose a good husband.
Cheng Wenwen advised: "Grandma, since your great-grandma and grandfather loved you so much, they must have been thinking about you all these years, so don't be too sad."
Madam Cheng sighed and said helplessly, "I know that too! I can only blame myself for being unfilial. When they were dying, I didn't go back to see them, so I didn't have the face to contact my family all these years."
"It's okay, grandma. When we get back, just walk around more and our relationship will naturally get better."
Cheng Wenwen smiled.
"Well, I hope so!"
The grandparents and grandchildren talked about these things in their spare time on the way, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
But as soon as they left, the Cheng family in the capital found out and couldn't contain themselves.
...............................
Madam Cheng Er and Cheng Jinxiu waited at home for several days, but Madam Cheng and Cheng Wenwen did not show up. They were very afraid that something might happen, so they went to Cheng Wenwen's house again.
But this time, Cheng Wenwen's small house was crowded and there seemed to be no one outside the door.
Cheng Jinxiu called out, "What's going on? Go knock on the door!"
The maid hurriedly knocked on the door, but after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.
Cheng Jinxiu said angrily: "This Cheng Wenwen really lied to us last time. She never thought about returning to the Cheng family. She must be afraid that we will get involved in her private property. Will she just not open the door this time when we come?"
Madam Cheng nodded, and she also felt that her daughter was right, so she called the maids and servants around her and said, "You all, go and knock on the door for me. I don't believe she won't come out!"
"Yes! Second Madam!"
"I've told you not to call me Second Madam!" Second Madam Cheng was angry. She was the only madam in the family and she was the eldest. It was really unpleasant to hear her being called Second Madam.
"Yes! Madam!"
The maids and servants all went to knock on the door. It was very noisy outside the small house.
After a long time, the door opened a crack, and a burly servant said irritably: "Why are you knocking? It's so noisy!"
"Open the door, I want to see your young lady!" Cheng Jinxiu said.
"My young lady and old lady are away on a trip and are not at home. You should wait until they come back!" said the sturdy servant.
"Nonsense, they were at home a few days ago, how could they go far away? Open the door for me, or we will break in!" Cheng Jinxiu said fiercely.
"You dare to break in?"
The servant opened the door and stood at the entrance. He took out a machete from behind the door and said, "The door is open! Who dares to break in? Come over here and let me see!"
The servant was a burly fellow, holding an axe for chopping wood, and looked ferocious and fierce. He immediately frightened the maids and servants and made them retreat back.
"Where is Cheng Wenwen? Call her out! Is this how you treat guests? Is this how you treat your elders?" Mrs. Cheng asked loudly.
"I've told you, my young lady is not at home. If you want to come as a guest, you'd better wait until my young lady comes back. Can't you hear me?" the burly servant shouted.
Cheng Jinxiu mustered up her courage and shouted at the servant, "You're lying! Cheng Wenwen must be in there! Don't try to scare us!"
"I said: My young lady! She's not at home! Can't you hear me? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? Or is Chunchun here to cause trouble?" The sturdy servant shouted at them angrily, "If you are here to cause trouble, I won't be polite! The young lady said that if anyone causes trouble, they will be driven away. I will punish anyone who doesn't leave!"
"How dare you! We are Cheng Wenwen's relatives and her elders. How dare you, a servant, do this to us..."
"See if I dare!"
"Ah - murder -"
The burly servant took two steps forward with an axe in his hand. A group of servants and maids were so frightened that they ran back. Only the mother and daughter of the Cheng family were left standing alone in front of the servant, hugging each other.
"You, you, you—you dare to come over here!" The Cheng mother and daughter were terrified.
"What is there for me to be afraid of? If you don't get out of here, I won't be polite!"
"Let's go, let's go!" Cheng Jinxiu was still desperate, so she dragged her mother away and ran away. She got on the carriage and quickly called the driver, "Hurry up, turn around and go back home!"
"Yes!" The coachman looked at the burly driver and was a little scared. He turned around and drove away in the carriage.
The servant at the door snorted, threw the axe into the yard, then closed the door and said, "What a scare!"
The servant's name was A Da, and he was Gao Jie's cousin. He was a big and strong man, and it was said that he had worked in a security company before, so he was able to intimidate people.
Cheng Wenwen specifically asked him to help her guard the door because she was afraid that the Cheng family would come and cause trouble and demolish her house. That would be bad.
Fortunately, Ada is very qualified for this new position.
"I can't make it in the escort agency, but I can still be a doorman!" Seeing that there was nothing to do, Ada went back to his room and took a nap.
The Cheng mother and daughter were very frightened at this moment.
"Mom, Cheng Wenwen must have done this on purpose. She deliberately hired someone to block us and not let us in!" Cheng Jinxiu was very angry.
Madam Cheng nodded: "This damn girl really has some evil intentions. She hid her business from us before, and now she is still on guard against us."
"What should I do? Mother, I'm getting married next month! I don't want to marry Zhao Quan. He's just a playboy and won't achieve anything great. I want to be an official's wife!"
Cheng Jinxiu had always looked down on Zhao Quan because he was not only average looking, but also unmotivated and could not pass the imperial examination. He was also only the third son and could not inherit much of the family's finances.
If Master Cheng II had not insisted on currying favor with the Duke of England and asking her to marry Qi Shuo, she would not have hastily arranged the marriage and let Cheng Wenwen marry in her place.
Now, things have calmed down, her father has been reinstated, and Cheng Wenwen has earned such a large fortune for their Cheng family. If she were to remarry, she would definitely be able to find a better marriage.
Since Cheng Wenwen had already divorced Qi Shuo, she was also the daughter of the Cheng family. Therefore, Cheng Jinxiu wanted to continue asking Cheng Wenwen to help her marry Zhao Quan so that she could marry into a wealthy family again.
But they didn't expect that Cheng Wenwen would not want to return to the Cheng family this time. What should they do? Cheng Jinxiu was angry and anxious now. If Cheng Wenwen didn't replace her, she would have to marry Zhao Quan.
"No rush. If she doesn't want to see us, then we will force her to come out and see us!" said Mrs. Cheng Er.
