435 Cause Problems Easily
She shook her head helplessly.
“Thankfully, we’ll be sending you to school in a few days. Once you’re there, the teachers will teach you to be sensible and to know your limits. Why are you being so honest, my child? Apologize to Uncle Gong quickly!”
“You…”
Gong Cheng felt his anger catch in his throat and almost spat a mouthful of blood.
This child’s words anger me, but so do this woman’s! Is she lecturing her child? She’s obviously lecturing me! How can she compare me to two children who haven’t even attended school?
He turned to face Qian Jiyun, hoping that he would uphold justice for him and lecture An Jiuyue.
However…
“Zheng’er, you’re the older one. Your younger brother has caused trouble. As the older brother, you must help him resolve it. Apologize to Uncle Gong.”
Qian Jiyun looked at Qian Yizheng, teaching him what to do. He had no time to care about Gong Cheng.
“Got it, Uncle Qian.”
Qian Yizheng was worried that he could not showcase his skills. When he heard that, he blinked his cute, ignorant, big eyes at Gong Cheng.
“Uncle Gong, I’m sorry. Rong’er is still young. Don’t lower yourself to his level. I’ll apologize on his behalf. I’ll teach him well in the future and won’t let him talk nonsense in public.”
“I— You…”
Gong Cheng felt as if the people in front of him had trampled on his heart thoroughly.
You’re not going to let that brat spew nonsense in public? What’s that supposed to mean?
“Rong’er, look at how angry you made Uncle Gong. He’s Uncle Qian’s friend, after all. If you have something to say, you should say it at home. Why must you say it in front of him? How embarrassing!
“You’ve embarrassed Uncle Qian. You can’t do this anymore. If you want to say anything in the future, you can tell me when we get home.
“Although we’re children, we can’t talk nonsense. Mother said that the waters in the capital run deep. We can cause problems easily if we speak carelessly.
“What if someone puts a large sack over us and beats us up when we leave the house?
“If that happens, we’ll have nowhere to complain. We can only lie on our beds and cry. We can’t even go to school or earn money.
“How awful is that? Don’t do this again.”
Qian Yirong nodded obediently and promised his brother softly, “I understand, Brother. I’ll hold back whatever I want to say in the future and tell you when we get home.”
Gong Cheng was speechless.
He regretted it! He should not have come here to look for his second brother and meet these two obnoxious children!
Was he lecturing his younger brother? He was obviously scolding him indirectly!
He had told Qian Jiyun to send them away in front of An Jiuyue and the two boys. They retorted immediately and even taught him a lesson indirectly!
He was the Gong family’s eldest young master, having graduated from the Royal Academy. How could he be chastised by two children who had never even been to school?
He would be embarrassed if word got out. How would he face other people?
“Second Brother, aren’t you going to do something about this?”
He looked at Qian Jiyun with a long face.
Qian Jiyun smiled coldly at him.
