Reborn with an Old Enemy on the Day of our Marriage

Chapter 75 - A Family With No Bottom Line

By the time Zheng PingQing came downstairs, all the students had already received their red envelopes from Zheng BuLu. When they saw Zheng PingQing approach, all the students looked at him with tears in their eyes.

Zheng PingQing felt their weighty gazes and subconsciously covered his chest with his hands. He asked: “What are you doing?”

Dong MingEn was the first to run towards him. He squeezed Zheng PingQing’s shoulder and said: “Boss, I’ve decided to follow you for the rest of my life. I’ll be steadfast and loyal to you forever!”

Lou XingGuang grabbed Zheng PingQing’s other shoulder. “Boss, if you need something in the future, don’t hesitate to say.”

Zhou Daota looked to the left, then to the right, but there was no space for him. He could only dryly say: “Boss, pay more attention to where you’re walking. Make sure you don’t fall...do you need to lean on me?”

Zheng PingQing was silent. What the hell happened to the integrity of his younger brothers?

However, Zheng PingQing would soon find out that his original younger brothers were still pretty tame. It was the newer entries that genuinely had no bottom line.

Guo DangLi and Li Gao were looking at Zheng PingQing with sparkling eyes. Guo DangLi gave Li Gao a look, prompting Li Gao to ask: “Second Boss Zheng, your dad...do you think he’s looking for a grandson?”

Guo DangLi added: “One with a high school degree? And, and, a high chance of getting a college degree.”

“Get real.” Lou XingGuang cast him a look of disdain. “With your grades, you can only set your sights on a junior college.”

Lou XingGuang mercilessly stepped on his classmate, then turned towards Zheng PingQing with eager eyes. “But I can do better. I think I can get into a four-year college Boss, so if your father needs...”

Zheng PingQing ruthlessly crushed their dreams. “He doesn’t need one.”

But Lou XingGuang didn’t give up and persisted: “Then what about you? Do you need...”

Guo DangLi rushed to cut him off, a proud smile on his face. “Hehehe. Fortunately, Second Dad recognized me very early on.”

Zheng PingQing: “....”

Zheng PingQing indifferently said: “Believe it or not, I intend to kick you out of the family today.”

Guo DangLi replied: “...Dad, please reconsider.”

Zheng PingQing coldly turned away and rolled his eyes. “In the end, how much money did my dad put in your red envelopes?” Money really does corrupt people, ah!

Lou XingGuang showed an infatuated smile. “More than all my other red envelopes combined.”

Dong MingEn glanced at Xu Yao and said: “Enough for me to buy a New Year’s gift for Ah Yao.”

Xu Yao refused with all his might. “No need, no need, no need.”

With great difficulty, Zheng PingQing finally managed to disperse this group with no sense of dignity. With red envelopes still in their hands, the students ran in different directions to play.

Zheng PingQing was about to go look for Lin Qian when he noticed Xu Yao slowly shuffling towards him. With a cough, Xu Yao said: “Um, I have something I want to say to you.”

“What can I do for you, Uncle?” Zheng PingQing asked.

Xu Yao looked at the thick red envelope in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he said: “I didn’t know that your family was so rich....now that I know....”

Zheng PingQing was speechless. “...if Uncle really wants to be my dad’s grandson, I’ll do my best to give you face. I’ll help you ask...”

Xu Yao blew his top. “I’m not talking about that!”

Zheng PingQing held back a laugh and asked: “Then what are you trying to say?”

Xu Yao snorted. “Humph! It’s nothing. I was just going to say that I hope you and your obscene wealth won’t suddenly get tired of our Ah Qian and discard him....”

Zheng PingQing patted him on the shoulder. “Uncle, do you know what my one lifelong wish is?”

Xu Yao didn’t know why Zheng PingQing was suddenly talking about wishes. He even called it his ‘lifelong wish,’ ah. So heavy, so heavy. But still, Xu Yao asked: “What?”

“That Lin Qian doesn’t discard me.” Zheng PingQing’s gaze was profound as he said: “That such an outstanding, perfect man like Lin Qian is content to be a vegetarian for the rest of his life...I can only match his sacrifice by giving him my unfaltering loyalty.”

Xu Yao almost hit him. “....Let’s pretend like I never said anything in the first place.”

“Can’t.” Holding Xu Yao’s shoulder so he can’t escape, Zheng PingQing continued to torture him by describing the couple’s wonderful future in great detail. Eventually, Lin Qian came over with a plate of sashimi. He said: “Zheng PingQing, this tuna is delicious, ah. Here, try one...”

Zheng PingQing turned around and directly opened his mouth with an ‘Ahh-‘

Xu Yao, who couldn’t move because of the hand on his shoulder: “&#k2026;.”

Hey, you outstanding, perfect man&#k2026;you’ve already agreed to be a vegetarian for the rest of your life?

Also, when you feed your lover, can you please take into consideration the mood of the people next to you?

Ah, no. Ah Qian obviously just doesn’t care what other people think.

Lin Qian raised his fork and fed Zheng PingQing a piece of tuna. He then turned towards Xu Yao and asked: “Ah Yao, do you want to try the sashimi too? It’s very delicious.”

Although Xu Yao wanted to refuse, he couldn’t help but open his mouth with an ‘Ahhh-‘

Lin Qian blinked. “Uh, what I mean is, you should go to the buffet area and get some yourself.”

Xu Yao: “....”

Xu Yao ran away in tears.

Zheng PingQing cracked his knuckles. “Did Uncle do what I think he just did?” Trying to get Lin Qian to feed him? Xu Yao, do you think you’re allowed to enjoy such treatment?

Lin Qian glared at him. “Don’t bully him, ah.”

Zheng PingQing wrinkled his nose and uttered a non-committal ‘yes.’

Lin Qian helplessly fed him another piece of sashimi and said: “By the way, I’m supposed to meet with Ke MuZi later today, so I just asked him to come here instead. He should be here soon.”

Zheng PingQing nodded, then suddenly straightened. “Wait, shoot. I need to delete all the porn on my computer.”

......

On the other side, a sad Xu Yao was eating some sushi when he sees Dong MingEn walking towards him, acting strangely. When he neared, Dong MingEn suddenly grabbed Xu Yao’s arm and dragged him away, saying: “Ah Yao, come and help me get revenge.”

Xu Yao watched his sashimi get further and further away from him. Struggling to get out of Dong MingEn’s grip, he said: “Let go of me, my sashimi- what are you trying to do, ah.”

“Help me take revenge!” Dong MingEn dragged him into an open room with two computers in the center.

Xu Yao looked at the computer screen and felt that the image on the screen was quite familiar.

“Shit.” Dong MingEn angrily cursed. “I took advantage of the holiday and spent all day yesterday playing games. But then I was murdered by some idiot who wasn’t looking where he was going! I asked him to PK me today. Aren’t you an expert? Come and beat him up, avenge your brother!”

Xu Yao: “....”

Xu Yao finally realized why it was so familiar. Isn’t this the game that almost triggered the century-long war between Lin Qian’s group and Zheng PingQing’s group?

When this online game first launched, the two groups were still as incompatible as fire and water. Xu Yao, who was playing online games for the first time, met Dong MingEn in-game and was killed by him whenever he left the novice village. Xu Yao was so angry he almost quit the game entirely. But then Shao SiJia came back home for summer vacation and heard about Xu Yao’s plight. Shao SiJia took control of Xu Yao’s game character, went out of the novice village, then killed Dong MingEn’s character with her superior skills.

Not only that, but Shao SiJia also set up a guild and got her guild members to kill the people in Dong MingEn’s guild. They harassed Dong MingEn’s guild members so much that they eventually had to disband.

But the thing is, when Shao SiJia did those things, she used Xu Yao’s account. So although Xu Yao never logged onto the game again, Xu Yao’s account left a big impression in Dong MingEn’s heart.

In Dong MingEn’s eyes, Xu Yao was a peerless master who not only defeated him but was also the leader of a bandit guild, famous in the early stages of the game. To Dong MingEn, Xu Yao was a gaming giant who was unwilling to pass on responsibilities onto others.

Truthfully, this ‘gaming giant’ had long forgotten this part of his past. But now, this ignorant person was suddenly being thrust back onto the stage.

“Ah Yao, show this fool the power of a high-end player.” Dong MingEn pressed Xu Yao down and made him sit in front of the computer. He kneaded Xu Yao’s shoulders and flattered him: “Un, I also messaged my friends to come and watch the fight. You have to give him a tragic death, ah. Show the world that he shouldn’t bully me!”

The silent Xu Yao shivered in fear.

“I think it’s better to behave with integrity, ah. Harmony with others should be prized in life.” Xu Yao said, trying to take the high-road.

Dong MingEn replied: “I know, I know. I’ll write out a peace treaty with him after the fight. I’ll be forgiving.”

Xu Yao: “Honestly, I haven’t played games for quite some time, ah.”

“I know, you had to study.” Dong MingEn continued to massage his shoulder muscles diligently. “But with your high-level skills, you don’t need practice, ah. You can easily kill this guy, even if you play randomly.”

Xu Yao silently looked at the computer screen and saw someone with the ID ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ yammering in the chat:

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Why aren’t you speaking? What, scared? Did I scare you off?

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Hahaha, you’re free to admit defeat. You just have to shout ‘Grandpa’ three times in the world chat.

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Then second, you have to shout ‘Grandpa’ whenever we cross paths.

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Third, whenever you meet ‘Grandpa,’ you have to give him your monster.

The more this player said, the more incensed Dong MingEn’s friends got. They all shouted in the chat, cussing at the player.

Dong MingEn couldn’t help but grab the keyboard. After cracking his knuckles, he started typing.

......

[ Sit on You Till you Die ]: Who are you trying to order around? Ah Grandpa, you just shit all over the place.

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Haha, you better clean it then. Otherwise, you’ll get hit with that shit.

A furious Dong MingEn turned to Xu Yao and said: “Ah Yao, do you see that?! I absolutely can’t tolerate that guy!”

Xu Yao looked at the other player’s gleaming equipment and muttered: “I can.”

Dong MingEn shook his head: “No!”

[Sit on You Till you Die]: Cut the crap! Best of three, let’s start this already.

Three minutes later, Dong MingEn watched the tragic death of his little character. He turned to Xu Yao with an incredulous expression on his face and asked: “Ah Yao...you, you, you...did you find a substitute back then?”

Xu Yao lowered his head in shame. “...No.”

Dong MingEn bitterly replied: “I don’t believe you!”

Xu Yao’s head shrunk even more. “I really didn’t.”

Xu Yao twiddled his fingers and continued: “.....I just asked someone to play for me a few times...”

With the gaze of a dead fish, Dong MingEn asked: “Isn’t that the same thing?”

Xu Yao explained: “I didn’t pay them, ah. It was voluntary, voluntary.”

Dong MingEn: “....”

On the computer, ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ and his friends were going crazy in the chat. They endlessly ridiculed Dong MingEn, and some people were even doing it on the world chat.

Dong MingEn covered his face. “Forget it; I’ll just delete my character.”

Dong MingEn looked up with teary eyes: “I’ll just change my ID and bury this shameful past...anyway, nobody knows anyone.”

Xu Yao looked at Dong MingEn’s pitiful expression and, after a moment’s thought, patted his shoulder. “Just wait a bit. I’ll get you some foreign aid.”

Xu Yao typed in the chat-

[Sit on You Till you Die]: Wait a minute, this Grandpa needs to take a shit.

‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ didn’t believe him, and neither did his friends. They all continued to fling abuse in the chat.

Dong MingEn’s head was swimming. “Sigh, it’s better just to delete my ID, ah. It’s impossible...”

Xu Yao reassured him. “Don’t worry.”

His resolute expression gave Dong MingEn an inexplicable sense of confidence. So the two silently took all the sharp insults ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ threw at them.

Fortunately, Lin Qian’s house wasn’t far from the Zheng family home. Before long, a tall girl stormed into the room. Rolling her sleeves, she yelled: “Little Yao, who bullied you?!”

Xu Yao pointed at the computer screen and sobbed: “It’s him, Sister Shao SiJia! Help me get revenge!”

Dong MingEn: “....” Your plan was to tearfully complain to a girl?

Dong MingEn looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, then towards Xu Yao. This was too outrageous, ah. Wait, men usually play games to pick up girls, right?

So Xu Yao actually just wanted to flirt with this pretty lady?

Thinking that he discovered the truth. Dong MingEn smirked and gave Xu Yao a meaningful smile. He playfully smacked Xu Yao’s arm and said: “Ah Yao, you’re so clever!”

Xu Yao was confused. “What are you talking about?”

Dong MingEn tilted his head towards Shao SiJia and raised his brows in a suggestive manner. “I know. Don’t worry, man...”

But halfway through his sentence, Dong MingEn’s face suddenly changed, and he yelled: “WTF!”

On the computer screen, ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ had become a dead tiger. In just a few seconds, this beautiful girl had K.O.’d ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch.’

A quivering Dong MingEn looked at the majestic lady playing on the computer. She had a wild smile on her face as she furiously tapped on the keyboard.

[Sit on You Till you Die]: Hurry and call me Grandpa.

[Sit on You Till you Die]: Next time I see you, you better kneel three times and kowtow nine times. If you do that, I’ll graciously let you live.

Dong MingEn: “.....”

Dong MingEn whispered: “Ah Yao...who is she?”

Xu Yao calmly replied: “Oh, she’s Ah Qian’s big sister.”

He then added: “Biological sister.”

“So it’s like that...” Though Dong MingEn was surprised, it wasn’t that much of a shock. Dong MingEn thought of Lin Qian’s style, then at the girl in front of him. Suddenly, he whispered into Xu Yao’s ear: “Does she have a boyfriend?”

Xu Yao: “....”

He looked at Dong MingEn in horror.

Who gave you the courage to think such bold thoughts, ah?

However, Dong MingEn simply blushed. It seems that a tiny bud sprouted in the depths of Dong MingEn’s heart.

Xu Yao’s first thought was to be a good brother and warn Shao SiJia about this dangerous man. But as he opened his mouth, he immediately closed it again.

Perhaps this will change Dong MingEn’s attitude towards him?

Xu Yao, a steel straight man, saw a glimmer of dawn. Finally, the era of straight males will begin.

Yes, he was selfish.

Xu Yao smiled and patted Dong MingEn on the shoulder. “No, she’s single.”

Dong MingEn also smiled. “That’s great.”

While they spoke, Shao SiJia killed ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ once again. She stretched her arms, and asked in a puzzled voice: “Hey, this ‘Sit on You Till you Die,’ isn’t this the guy that bullied you during summer vacation? Didn’t I help you get revenge?”

With their dark past was revealed, both Xu Yao and Dong MingEn were ashamed.

But Dong MingEn’s face was much thicker. He straightened his back and said: “Elder Sister, that was me. But I’ve become a better man now.”

“It was you?” Shao SiJia finally noticed the person beside Xu Yao. She stood up, smiled, then pinched Dong MingEn’s cheek. “Since you’ve become a better man, I’ll let you go. But you better treat Ah Yao well, alright? Don’t disappoint.”

Dong MingEn’s face was being played with, but his eyes were shining with happiness. He nodded and replied: “Of course, Elder Sister, I will obey you.”

Xu Yao: “....”

Wait, why me?! I really don’t need a boy to care for me, ah!

The author has something to say:

You might not believe me, but I wrote this while thinking about a garbage game that ruined my youth...

Also, Dong MingEn and Shao SiJia aren’t a CP. It’s just a way for the author to torture both Dong MingEn and Xu Yao.
