Chapter 1344 - 1424: What Are We Talking About?

Zheng Laoyezi’s complexion was a bit off, but he quickly regained his calm. Having weathered many storms, a man like him had seen it all, and his control over his expressions was masterful.

Fang Yi didn’t intend to make Zheng Laoyezi admit to anything immediately. People like him, cunning old foxes, who are the heads of households, aren’t easily broken down psychologically.

Standing behind Zheng Laoyezi, Zheng Yaotiao stole a glance at her grandfather’s expression, which was very calm. Despite Fang Yi’s cryptic speech, Zheng Yaotiao caught some nuances.

That guy was clearly hinting, seemingly targeting her grandfather.

Could it be...

Did her grandfather owe him money?

Impossible!

Their age difference is substantial, and the Zheng Family is one of the three prominent families in State City, with deep foundations. Why would they need to borrow money?

But if not, then what’s the matter?

Zheng Yaotiao kept speculating in her heart, seeking an answer, but each time her assumptions failed to explain it, leaving her frustrated.

"Yaotiao!" Just as Zheng Yaotiao was lost in thought, Zheng Laoyezi suddenly spoke up, "Go out first and close the door."

"Grandfather..." Zheng Yaotiao was slightly startled. If she left, her grandfather would be alone here, wouldn’t he be at Fang Yi’s mercy?

"Go out!" Zheng Laoyezi emphasized.

Helpless, Zheng Yaotiao went out, but before leaving, she walked up to Fang Yi.

"I think you know how many people are surrounding outside, so you’d better not act recklessly. If anything happens to my grandfather, you won’t be able to leave the Zheng Family’s old house today!" Zheng Yaotiao said this.

"Heh, if I want to leave, no one can stop me." Fang Yi chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.

It was this attitude that made Zheng Yaotiao feel quite powerless. She wanted to strangle him but couldn’t do anything about him, which was the most infuriating.

Zheng Yaotiao still went out, closing the door behind her, leaving only Fang Yi and Zheng Laoyezi in the room.

Fang Yi didn’t just stand there foolishly; he pulled a chair over, sat down, and took out a pack of ten-dollar cigarettes from his pocket. He was already accustomed to the taste of this cigarette.

He lit one, crossed his legs, and did it all without any mental burden, all while Zheng Laoyezi watched, as if he were ignoring Zheng Laoyezi.

To be precise, Fang Yi was very bold; no one could be so carefree in front of Zheng Laoyezi, but Fang Yi could.

Actually, the fact that Fang Yi could sit here today, face-to-face with Zheng Laoyezi, was already quite surprising. If this got out, it would definitely stir a huge commotion.

Fang Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, put the cigarette back between his lips, and checked his phone; a message had come through. So Fang Yi thought for a moment and replied with a text.

All of this was in Zheng Laoyezi’s eyes, and even he couldn’t help but feel a bit overlooked by Fang Yi’s nonchalance.

However, Zheng Laoyezi looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a slight, strange sensation, and waited quietly without urging him.

After a while, Fang Yi put away his phone, then looked up at Zheng Laoyezi, smiled, and said, "Alright, Zheng Laoyezi, now that it’s just the two of us, let’s talk."

Zheng Laoyezi asked, "Talk about what?"
