Chapter 50: Begging
"Oh? Is Mr. Siu angry? Is Mr. Xiao angry with me? Looks like you're really precious to this daughter of yours, I thought you'd ignore it. Du Yuexian gently picked at her nails, the slender nails had already been dyed pink, emitting a sparkling light under the dappled sunlight.
"Xiao Fengyao is my Xiao Zheng's own flesh and blood, saying that tigers are poisonous and don't eat children, how can our feelings of being parents be understood by Mrs. Ran?" Xiao Zheng stroked his fluttering beard, and his long narrow eyes radiated an aggressive light.
"Mr. Xiao doesn't have to be so excited, I don't want to do anything to a girl at all? What's more, my nephew seems to have something in mind about that girl, even if she can't be my nephew's wife, it's still okay to ask for her to be a concubine. As long as I talk to my brother, I don't think our Du family will embarrass that girl! Du Yuexian's face was full of smugness.
"Du Yuexian! Are you sure you're just going to tell me that? Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth, his angry eyes made Du Yuexian fearful, she restrained her scruples, after all, she Du Yuexian didn't understand Xiao Zheng's power at this time, not to mention, she didn't exactly come to fall into the well to provoke and ridicule!
"Why is Mr. Xiao so angry? Although the Du family and the Ran family are not comparable, but with me in the Ran family for a day, do you think the Du family will be worse? If Mr. Xiao can marry our Du family, then it can't help but say that this is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Du Yuexian smiled at the corner of her mouth, but Xiao Zheng's eyes were already filled with raging fire.
"Okay, since Mr. Xiao doesn't want me to say this, then I'll say something else." Looking at Xiao Zheng's angry eyes, Du Yuexian also dispelled the idea of continuing to provoke. For the person in front of him, he may be able to threaten, but he can't be forced too tightly, otherwise, let alone her Du Yuexian, even if there are few people in the capital, he Xiao Zheng will not be able to subdue him.
Twenty years ago it was, twenty years later...... Du Yuexian still didn't dare to easily underestimate the person in front of him.
The corner of Xiao Zheng's eyes glanced at Du Yuexian's face, and he already knew what Du Yuexian was going to do in his heart.
"I have nothing to hide in front of Mr. Xiao, I want Mr. Xiao to help me remove the scars on my face." Du Yuexian's eyes looked around, although there was no one else around, she still felt that her heart was not very steady.
Xiao Zheng looked at her, his eyes shining with resistance.
"Mr. Xiao, don't look at me like this, if you are willing to help me, I, Du Yuexian, will definitely not treat Mr. Xiao badly." Du Yuexian's expectant eyes swept over Xiao Zheng's face, and there was a worry in that expression, a fear in it, and more a prayer.
"There's nothing this old man can do." After pondering for a moment, Xiao Zheng's refusal was categorical.
Du Yuexian was obviously not surprised by this answer, and the flame of hope in her eyes was instantly extinguished.
"What did you say?" Du Yuexian muttered.
"I said I couldn't do anything!" Xiao Zheng replied as solid as a rock, and gave Du Yuexian a fierce blow.
"But you still don't know the conditions I gave you?" Du Yuexian was still fighting, she knew that if the person in front of her rejected her, she would have no one to pray for in this world.
"The old man can't afford to accept any conditions!" Xiao Zheng's sharp eyes stared at the field where he was, where his eyes were full of green.
"You don't know what kind of scar I'm talking about, why do you say powerless? When did Mr. Xiao, who once filled the capital alone, learn to be so inappropriately modest? Or is Mr. Xiao just targeting me as a person? ”
"Mrs. Ran is serious, Xiao is really powerless!"
"Maybe Mr. Xiao hasn't been in the capital these days and doesn't know, my relationship with Ling Ai is actually quite good, we have not only become friends but even have nothing to talk about. Unlike Mr. Xiao's indifference, Ling Ai is very sympathetic to my injury, and she also packed the ticket and said that my Mr. Xiao will definitely have a way to hurt me. Not only that, Ling Ai also told me that when you were in the countryside in the early years, a person who was much heavier than the scar on my face, Mr. Xiao rejuvenated him with his skill. I wonder if what I'm saying is true? Du Yuexian smiled slightly.
Xiao Zheng frowned, Feng Yao's girl didn't know anything about the past, and she didn't have the slightest understanding of this Du Yuexian in front of her. She is so scheming to anyone, it is her advantage and her disadvantage. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Zheng put down what he was doing and rushed back non-stop.
"What? Could it be that Ling Ai can't say a big thing? Seeing that Xiao Zheng still didn't say a word, Du Yuexian pretended to be questioning and asked.
"Feng Yao is not lying! I don't know if Feng Yao told Mrs. Ran that the person's injury was a burn, although the area was very large, it looked a little scary, but after all, the injury was on the skin, Xiao just took some trouble but could still deal with it. As for Mrs. Ran's injuries, ......" Xiao Zheng glanced over with a cold light, and he saw the moment when Du Yuexian was shocked.
"You...... What do you mean by that? Du Yuexian subconsciously touched her face with a skin, she had never mentioned anything to him, she didn't believe that she would see through such a seamless face so easily.
"The old man doesn't mean anything, but I want to remind Mrs. Ran that Xiao Fengyao is the old man's daughter and the old man's life, and he can give up everything for her old man." Xiao Zheng said lightly, but Du Yuexian was a little creepy.
"Are you threatening me?" Du Yuexian asked coldly.
"Mrs. Ran is joking, now it's obviously Mrs. Ran threatening the old man!" Xiao Zheng exhaled softly.
"What will happen to you if I do anything to that girl?" Du Yuexian asked coldly.
"What will happen to me? I really don't know this, because in this world, nothing has ever happened to tell the old man to think about anything! Xiao Zheng said extremely easily.
Du Yuexian took a step back, obviously a thin old man in front of him, but he didn't know why Du Yuexian felt more and more scared, so much so that he felt chills all over his body in this big summer.
"Since Mr. Xiao can lend a helping hand to a stranger, can't he help me, an old man?" Tears flashed in Du Yuexian's eyes, the crystal tears swirled in her eyes, if it weren't for the red spots on her face, she would have been pitiful at this moment.
It's a pity that there are shocking red spots on her face, and she is not facing an ordinary man, it is Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng who will not be moved by anything!
"Old man......" Xiao Zheng snorted softly, the sun was about to rise overhead, and the dense shadows of the trees could hardly block its light, and the light of enlightenment sprinkled on Xiao Zheng's body, illuminating his faded robe.
"That is, even if Mr. Xiao and I don't have a deep friendship, but ...... with my brother" Xiao Zheng's cold gaze struck, and Du Yuexian's words also stopped abruptly in that cold light.
"Du Guangyao!" The corners of Xiao Zheng's mouth were indescribable smiles, like a smile but not a smile.
"Mr. Xiao, you know that my brother has been remembering Mr. Xiao for so many years, and he has been blaming himself and regretting it. What happened back then......"
"The events of that year have passed, so don't mention it anymore Mrs. Ran! I came to see Mrs. Ran today just to bring Feng Yao back, and the old man couldn't do anything about the rest. Xiao Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and there were waves in front of him.
"I said that Feng Yao was just staying in the house, and I didn't treat her like that. What's more, now Ling'er likes her very much, and the two of them get along very happily, I'm afraid that if I want to ask Feng Yao to leave now, she won't want to. Du Yuexian said secretly.
"Since Mrs. Ran said so, the master really has nothing to say." Xiao Zheng turned around and was about to leave.
"You dare to say that the gel you developed wasn't for me?" Du Yuexian gritted her teeth and said word by word.
"Mrs. Ran really overestimated herself, Xiao developed anything just to make some money."
"Then your goal has been achieved, do you know how much silver I gave Xiao Fengyao? It's a thousand taels. What do you think? Am I generous enough? If you will heal me, I can give you another thousand taels, so that you will have two thousand taels!" What do you think? A single gesture can be exchanged for gold and silver that some people can't get in their lifetime! You don't lose money on this deal! Du Yuexian said.
"But the old man is not a man, gold and silver are important, but conscience cannot be violated either. Otherwise, even if the old man sits on a mountain of gold and silver, he will still be restless. Xiao Zheng smiled contemptuously and said coldly.
"You really won't help me?" Du Yuexian asked sharply.
"The old man really can't help!" Xiao Zheng met that fierce gaze.
"You are still blaming my brother and our Du family. But back then, we were soft-spoken, even if we really said it, could anyone believe us? Will the outcome of things change in any way? Du Yuexian roared angrily.
"The old man said that the things of the year have passed, and the past is called the past." Xiao Zheng said coldly.
"If you've let us go so much, why do you have to take us to heart? Can't you lift up your noble hand to me? Don't you think it's really too much for me to do this? Du Yuexian looked depressed.
Xiao Zheng was silent, there was no warmth in his eyes, there was no trace of relief on his face, few people knew about the things back then, especially the people around him, but now, the person in front of him repeatedly mentioned to him back then. It's not that Xiao Zheng doesn't want to mention it, it's not that Xiao Zheng has forgotten it, it's just that there are some things that may not be beneficial to say it early when it is not time to mention it.
"Didn't Mr. Xiao have a good hand and benevolence? Didn't Mr. Xiao save people from fire and water back then? Although more than 20 years have passed, as the old saying goes, the country is easy to change, and I believe that Mr. Xiao will not change this with time. I'm not trying to threaten Mr. Xiao now, I'm just begging, begging Mr. Xiao to help me. In this world, if Mr. Xiao doesn't help me, I'm afraid no one can help me! Tears finally broke the embankment, flowing freely on Du Yuexian's red face, she didn't wipe them, let them be presumptuous.
