Chapter 107 Tearing Off the Face
The Zecheng Kang couple behind them finally came to their senses. Fang Hui's eyes lit up, and she rushed forward in a few steps.
With a face full of excitement, she grabbed Song Wen's hand and said in a fawning tone, "Thank you so much, Teacher Song! It's such a blessing for our little Zhineng to have such a good teacher like you!"
"You, second brother, you're so close to Teacher Song, knowing teachers from Hearthstone League, and you didn't even tell me! You kept it so well hidden!"
Song Wen smiled and said, "It's my blessing to have met such a talented student as Xiao Zhi."
Seeing the "intimate" relationship between the Sawashiro Yasuie family and Sawashiro Yutaka, he felt that his move was perfect and he had made a killing.
Sawashiro Yutaka frowned slightly, his disgust for this family growing even stronger, and he spoke in a low voice:
"Please take your seats, everyone. The food will be served shortly."
Song Wen and the others were naturally happy to accept, and they all sat down with smiles, just waiting to see how Sawashiro Yutaka "faced" they could.
Fang Hui then pulled Ze Cheng Kang away to the restroom in a hurry, afraid that others would overhear their scheme.
"What's wrong with your brother? He knew a Hearthstone League teacher and didn't even tell me!"
As soon as she entered the restroom, Fang Hui couldn't help but lower her voice and complain, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"Our family spent so much money on gifts to give Ash the League benefits, but it turns out he already knew people!"
If you ask me, if we hadn't come today, he could have kept it a secret forever.
They never even considered helping our Xiao Zhi!
Ze Cheng Kang sighed, a hint of displeasure on his face:
"I never expected that the second son would become so selfish and turn his back on his own side."
They're helping an orphan, but not their own nephew.
"Should we still keep the house? What if he really refuses to give it to us?"
Fang Hui bit her lip with some worry: "What if the second son doesn't want to and speaks ill of Xiao Zhi in front of Teacher Song? Wouldn't Xiao Zhi's A-level treatment be ruined?"
Ze Cheng Kang hesitated, his mind turning back: "Maybe we should just give up. It's more important not to lose the A-level treatment for the sake of a small thing."
"What's there to calculate!"
Fang Hui immediately glared at him, lowered her voice and said greedily, "Have you forgotten? The Xinyuan development zone, the demolition compensation for that old house alone is a huge sum of money."
That's at least a million! With this money, Ash will have enough to train his deck and buy rare materials.
Only then can you go further in the league!
Thinking of the amount of demolition compensation that his friend in the municipal government had secretly revealed, Ze Chengkang's eyes changed instantly, and greed in his heart overwhelmed his hesitation.
Instead of trying to discuss it properly with his younger brother, he felt that the house should rightfully belong to his family, and why should You Ming, an unruly child, have the right to occupy it?
Moreover, Ash is already receiving A-level treatment, so his future looks very promising.
It's only natural for his second uncle to help his own nephew.
At worst, we'll just say it outright. I don't believe he can refuse to give it to us!
In the end, Ze Cheng Kang could not resist the huge temptation of the demolition compensation, and he was convinced that Ze Cheng Yong Long would consider their brotherhood.
They were even more convinced that Ze Chengzhi was their Ze Cheng family's own flesh and blood, and that wild child could not compare.
The two exchanged a glance, each having their own plans.
After coming out of the restroom, he pretended to be friendly and sat down next to Yutaka Sawashiro.
They're just waiting for the right moment to ask for a house.
"Xiao You is really something, Ze Cheng! You've lived your whole life to the fullest, I envy old Ze!"
"Absolutely! Our neighborhood has really produced a dragon this time. The property prices here might even rise!"
The neighbors and old friends of Zecheng Yonglong chatted enthusiastically, and every word they uttered was praise for You Ming.
The Ze Cheng Kang couple, however, were unconvinced, even secretly laughing to themselves: A real dragon? They're exaggerating. Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd produced the number one in Xin Yuan.
How dare a wild child who can't even pass the League entrance exam be called a true dragon?
That's absolutely hilarious.
The couple casually glanced across the hall and suddenly spotted an old man with a white beard, wearing shorts and a floral shirt in the corner.
He was sitting with his legs crossed, happily eating sunflower seeds, with a pile of sunflower seed shells on the table.
The two frowned simultaneously, their faces full of disgust as they cursed inwardly: How does Sawashiro Yutaka do things?
How could they let such a slovenly old man in to freeload? It's really damaging to their image. Aren't they afraid of making the league's teachers laugh at them?
Little did they know that this despicable old man they despised was none other than Elder Jinsen, the highest authority in Wuwang City.
Ze Cheng Kang withdrew his disdainful gaze and sullenly sat back down in his seat.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and suppressed his impatience. He found the wedding banquet tasteless and just wanted to finalize the house deal as soon as possible.
"Second brother, I need to discuss something with you." Ze Cheng Kang put down his teacup and leaned forward slightly.
He patted Sawashiro Yutaka's arm affectionately, his tone carrying a deliberate air of familiarity.
Yutaka Sawashiro's brows furrowed instantly, his premonition growing increasingly ominous, and he said in a deep voice:
"We can talk about it this afternoon. Today is Xiaoyou's special day, so let's not spoil everyone's fun."
He just wanted to hold a peaceful graduation banquet for You Ming and didn't want this family to ruin it.
Ze Cheng Kang, however, was relentless, relying on the presence of Song Wen and the others, and was certain that Ze Cheng Yong Long would not dare to turn against him on the spot.
His tone became increasingly direct: "We're all family, what can't we say to each other right here and now?"
Xiao Zhi finally got into Hearthstone League and was even noticed by Teacher Song, who promoted him to A-level status.
The future looks bright, and you, as the second uncle, are proud of it, aren't you?"
He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear him.
They wanted to use Sawashiro Shi's "glory" to put Sawashiro Yutaka in a difficult position.
"Just say what you have to say."
Yutaka Sawashiro put down his teacup, his voice turning cold.
His aura became heavy, clearly indicating that he had lost patience.
Seeing this, Ze Cheng Kang stopped hiding his true intentions and simply revealed them.
His tone was somewhat matter-of-fact: "Do you remember what I told you before? That old house is just sitting there, it's a waste to leave it empty."
Why not give it to me... or to Xiao Zhi!
Ash will need a decent house as a base to develop within the League.
"When he becomes successful and a top duelist, he'll definitely be even more filial to you, his second uncle, and take care of you in your old age, won't he?"
Yutaka Sawashiro's gaze suddenly turned cold as he turned to look at Shiji Sawashiro, his eyes filled with disappointment.
At his parents' prompting glances, the latter immediately puffed out his chest, looked at Sawashiro Yutaka with unwavering conviction, and patted his chest to guarantee:
"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely take good care of you from now on!"
"When you get old, I'll serve you tea and water, and take care of you for the rest of my life!"
These words sound sincere and heartfelt, but the scheming in their eyes is impossible to hide.
"Support me?"
As Yutaka Sawashiro slowly savored those two words, he suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the hall: "To be honest, your family didn't come here today to offer congratulations at all; you came for the house, didn't you?"
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the neighbors and guests around him to hear.
All eyes turned to the Ze Cheng Kang couple instantly, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
