“Oh, regret what? Regret not waiting for you? Then, I’ll wait, wait for you to reach the highest official position, wait for you to hold great power in hand, wait for you to obtain great glory and wealth, wait for you to be surrounded by beauties, wait for them to mock my foolish decision today, and I’ll also wait to see whether or not the me at that time will regret. You best not let one be disappointed. After all, at present, you have a very crucial step you need to take, but with your current state, it really makes one very much doubt.”

How could Chen Zheng Min not know that he did something that his younger cousin felt was childish and laughable again. How could younger cousin regret, even if in the future, he really, as she said, became blessed with brocade garments and jade meals, and she only had plain tea and simple food, she still wouldn’t regret. She was his younger cousin; she was Luo Jing Wan, the most unique and unrivaled woman in the world, how could she regret? Even if she saw him, she probably would just nonchalantly call out ‘older cousin’, not having any other thoughts in the slightest.

“Everything that needs to be said, I’ve all said, so I’ll be going back first. Oh right, your grandfather is still at our manor. He’s even clamoring about wanting to hang himself to death on our Luo family gates. In his eyes, his regret and ambitions are the most important, and because you can help him complete this, that’s why in his heart, you are the most important. And I, in his eyes, am just a plaything that as long as you are well, can be completely disregarded and abandoned. That’s why, older cousin, if I marry you, I would even have to face this kind of unreasonable elder. Say, should I endure being suffocated to death, or completely disregard everything and anger others to death? Originally, if he’d just nicely talked with grandmother, and didn’t have those twisted thoughts, grandmother certainly would’ve agreed to me coming here to see you, and I naturally would be willing too. But because of your grandfather’s tantrum, the feelings are gone, and thus I’ve become having been forced to come see you. Everyone all know that being forced to come and willingly coming are two very different things. I hope that you can straighten yourself up soon and have him fetched back.”

After Jing Wan left, Chen Zheng Min slowly crouched down, his arms hugging his head, his tears flooding down. He didn’t want to cry. If younger cousin were to see, she would laugh at him again, but he couldn’t control it……………

He knew, the meaning in younger cousin’s last words, because she was forced to come by his grandfather, she held resentment in her heart, that’s why her words were harsh, not holding back in the slightest, but he didn’t blame her. Moreover, younger cousin’s words perhaps weren’t wrong, he just didn’t have a sense of responsibility!

He was just a small child in her eyes, completely unable to give her the slightest dependence. How would he be able to make her reluctant to leave, make her care, or even make her admire?

When Li Ru Yu schemed against him, did she not tell him the reason? She did, and moreover, had younger cousin described very much unsightly, the kind that would make any other man suspect and furious at their fiancee’s disloyalty, but he believed in his younger cousin. Younger cousin was never that kind of person. He can’t, just because she was outstanding, attracting other men’s gazes, have all the fault and blame placed on her. This kind of man was the most cowardly, the most incompetent, and the most deserving of contempt.

He just hated so much, hated his own uselessness and incompetence, having fallen for the scheme that easily.

Moreover, the thing that made him unable to stop his tears the most was that even though his younger cousin was angry, she never once resented him. Her ultimate goal was still just wanting to let him pull himself together, and properly participate in tomorrow’s court exam. Even if her words were harsh, her heart was still that gentle. Such a good girl, he missed out on.

After sending away Jing Wan, the Chen family discovered Chen Zheng Min crying like a child again, but they were still at a loss for what to do, not knowing how to console him. Didn’t that Miss Luo come to console him, how come he was consoled into this state?

Fortunately, Chen third old madam was still a little rational, “Let him cry, crying it all out is ultimately better than holding it in the whole time. Although it’s a little embarrassing for a man to cry, he’s still just a half-grown child after all.”

The word ‘child’ once again stabbed Chen Zheng Min. Thus he gradually put away his tears, and after remaining silent for about a quarter of an hour, he finally stood up. The rims of his eyes were still red, but his gaze already gave others a different kind of feeling. “Mother, let someone prepare water for me, I want to bathe and change.”

“Alright, alright, immediately let someone prepare.” Seeing that he seemingly really returned to normal, Chen mother cried tears of joy, yet hurriedly wiped them away.

Chen Zheng Min properly cleaned himself up. His entire person also became spirited again. Just, that gentleness and warmth from before that belonged to youths probably can no longer come back, and in its place was a piece of determination and fearlessness.

The first thing he did was directly kneel down before his elders, “It is Zheng Min that was unfilial, causing you all to worry. In the future, this will never happen again. I will hold up the Chen family, and become someone you all can rely on.”

“Good, good, good, my dear grandson has grown up, and knows to care for others.” Chen third old madam both cried and laughed. Right now, she really was happy!

Chen Zheng Min smiled. Turns out, before, he really was just a child, a child that made others worry.

The whole family hurriedly had him pulled up.

“Grandmother, father, mother, I’m going to take a trip to the Luo Manor and bring grandfather back, and also, apologize to (paternal) great aunt and them. This matter is my fault, so I can’t let it harm the two families’ relationship.”

“Min’er……..”

“Mother, you don’t need to say anymore, I know what I’m doing.”

Jing Wan returned to the Luo Manor. That third maternal great uncle of hers was nicely drinking tea and eating desserts, beaming in smiles, and couldn’t be more normal.

Jing Wan originally wanted to provoke him more, but thinking that when he starts throwing a tantrum, the one to get angry would still be her grandmother, she no longer felt like bothering with him. “Grandmother, I’ve returned. With older cousin Min, there shouldn’t be anymore problems.”

Seeing in that instant, Chen third old master’s dim eyes somewhat light up again, Luo Old Madam also didn’t want to bother with him. “My dear grandchild, you’ve worked hard, go back and rest. These days you haven’t relaxed at all, always having someone come look for trouble out of nothing.”

“No matter, I’ll just accompany grandmother for a little while. After all, third great uncle is old and not all that useful anymore, so I let older cousin Min come pick him up. In the meantime, if third grand uncle needs anything, I also can properly serve him, no? For example, hanging a rope, tying a knot, and moving over a stool, letting someone cushion his feet, these things are all perfect for me to do.”

Luo Old Madam helplessly laughed. This was still holding a grudge. However, her anger hasn’t dispersed either.

When Chen third old master heard these words, he couldn’t help stiffening.

An hour had passed. Jing Wan was chatting with Luo Old Madam the entire time. As for Chen third old master, no one paid any attention to him. When the tea was out, they also pretended to not see. And the few times he voluntarily tried to talk to Luo Old Madam, Luo Old Madam also pretended to not hear. He knew, he’d thoroughly offended this elder sister of his, and thus didn’t open his mouth anymore.

Chen Zheng Min entered the room, directly kneeling down and firmly kowtowed three times, “Zheng Min is here to apologize to paternal great aunt, not asking for your forgiveness, just hoping paternal great aunt can quell one’s anger, and not harm one’s body.”

Luo Old Madam immediately sensed the difference in Chen Zheng Min, and rather surprisingly glanced to Jing Wan. What did Wan Wan say to him for him to be able to have this great of a change?

Before Luo Old Madam even said anything, Chen third old master already couldn’t sit still anymore, practically about to ‘act up’ again.

“Grandfather——” Chen Zheng Min lifted his head and looked to Chen third old master, carrying a trace of sternness, “Grandfather’s body has always been not too well. In the future, it’s best to just stay at home, and not come out too much.”

“You……” Probably because he never thought Chen Zheng Min would say it like this, Chen third old master was quite angered.

“Grandfather, this grandson’s court exam is near at hand. You also don’t want this grandson to be distracted in worrying about your body, right?” It was obvious, Chen Zheng Min was also very clear about Chen third old master’s weakness.

Chen third old master listlessly sat back down.

“Paternal great aunt, grandfather sometimes might get somewhat possessed (by evil spirits), so if he says anything, or does anything, asking you to please forgive him. In the future, I will let grandmother, father, and mother worry about me less and attend to grandfather more.” The underlying meaning, ‘he will let his family keep an eye on his grandfather’. If Chen Zheng Min really hardens himself, then in the future, in this family of his, he will have the final say, and not Chen third old master. After all, Chen Zheng Min was the one pulling along their hope, while Chen third old master really didn’t serve any purpose, just nicely providing for him was already enough.
