1244 I Do Not Want to Make You Sad
In the past, Zheng Yuan used to think that the two of them had the same amount of pocket money. It was only after she grew up that she realized Zheng Peng had bought those things for her with the money for his breakfast. Zheng Peng was willing to go hungry to satisfy Zheng Yuan’s wishes.

“Just go! You have no right to speak here! It’s not your place to speak about family matters! Get lost!” Zheng Su said sternly.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhuang Hua bade farewell to Zheng Su and Sun Dai and dragged Zheng Yuan out of the Zheng family’s house. No matter how hard Zheng Yuan struggled, he would not let go. He did not let go even when Zheng Yuan bit him.

“My little ancestor, stop biting me. I’m already bleeding,” Zhuang Hua said dotingly.

“Why did you drag me out! Can’t you see the situation my brother is in! If I leave the Zheng family, what about my brother! After you drag me out like that, he won’t have anyone at home to help him!” Zheng Yuan said furiously.

There was now a very deep bite mark on Zhuang Hua’s arm caused by Zheng Yuan and it was still bleeding slowly. However, Zhuang Hua did not care about this. What he needed to do now was to calm Zheng Yuan down.

“That’s why we need to get external help. Otherwise, what can you do even if you get your brother out? Besides, it’s not as if you can’t see your father’s stand on the matter. Will the situation get better once your brother gives in?” Zhuang Hua explained patiently.

“Then who should we ask for help? I don’t think anyone can think of any solution for something like my brother’s situation. I’ve never seen anyone who can change my father’s mind, not even my mother,” Zheng Yuan said dejectedly.

Zheng Su had been so angry that he even reprimanded Zheng Yuan. This was already something very rare. Furthermore, he mentioned all those issues in front of Zhuang Hua, not showing Zhuang Hua any respect at all. However, Zhuang Hua did not care about this. After all, the group of children had all grown up together and Zheng Su had always treated Zhuang Hua like his own son and did not view him as an outsider.
Zhuang Hua looked in the direction of the Xia family in the distance and said, “Let’s ask them for help. Perhaps there’s still hope?”

Zheng Yuan was a little unwilling to do it. It was not that she still had any feelings for Xia Zhe, but she felt a little awkward and did not know how to face Qiao Mei. She still felt very guilty about what happened back then.

Zhuang Hua also knew what Zheng Yuan was worried about. However, he felt that Qiao Mei was a very understanding person and definitely would not dwell on what happened back then. Xia Zhe was his good buddy and he was very sure that Xia Zhe would help him in this critical moment.

“I don’t feel like going. What can they do to help? If they reject us, it’ll feel even worse,” Zheng Yuan said as she lowered her head.

“No, you have to trust me. Will you let me handle this matter?” Zhuang Hua said patiently.

If the issue with Zheng Peng was not resolved properly, then Zheng Peng would not be able to attend their wedding to be held in a few months’ time. This would become a lifelong regret for Zheng Yuan. Zhuang Hua did not want Zheng Yuan to feel sad at all.

After Zhuang Hua persuaded Zheng Yuan for a while, she agreed to go to the Xia family to ask for help. She followed behind Zhuang Hua with heavy footsteps and arrived at the Xia family residence.

“Auntie, I’m Xiao Zhuang! Is Xia Zhe at home? Zheng Yuan and I are here to visit him and Qiao Mei,” Zhuang Hua said with a smile.

Xia Zhe was taking care of the children, so it was not convenient for him to go downstairs to welcome Zhuang Hua and Zheng Yuan. Anyway, they were not outsiders since they were all already so familiar with one another. Xu Lan brought them upstairs so that they could take the chance to take a look at the children as well.

Zhuang Hua almost laughed out loud when he saw Xia Zhe being a nanny. This was the famous “top army warrior” in their army. At this moment, he was carrying one child on his back and another one in his arms. He was coaxing one to sleep while feeding the other one! He looked extremely comical.

“The babies are very obedient. If you speak softly, you won’t wake them up. I’ll go back downstairs. You guys take your time to chat.” With that, Xu Lan left the room and closed the door softly behind her.

“Shouldn’t the two of you be enjoying your couple time together now? Why do you have the time to come to my house?” Xia Zhe teased.

“I have something to discuss with you. We’re facing quite a serious situation here. Do you think you can ask Elder Brother Wen to help us?” Zhuang Hua said.

There was no need for small talk between them. It was better to get straight to the point. This would save everyone time and it was also more efficient.
