Leaving Family Zheng House (i)

What happened to the initial plan to come and go back in peace? To only pick up her things and walked out quick and no turning back?

None of those going according to plan. Among so many cousins she had, Chen Ziyi could only admit the person she dislikes most was Zheng Xiaomeng. And that person just happen to be there on the day she visited the Zheng's manor.

What a day she had start with.

Chen Ziyi's sight moved to the end corner of the room where Han Meirong excused herself just now. Han Meirong was seem talking to somebody on the phone, before walked to her while her hand slipping the phone to her jeans pocket.

"My brother is here. Lets go, can we? We still have somewhere to go after this, isn't?"

"You have repacked everything, right?" Han Meirong asked while her hand reached out to carry some of the boxes, before walked away not giving any face to the others in the room.

"Yeah." Feeling a bit relieved, Chen Ziyi also prepared herself to carry the boxes before she faced the elders and cousins who still remain in the room.

"We are done, I believe, isn't? Do you need anything from me?" Chen Ziyi asked, with her one eyebrow raised, to the cousins.

The question obviously was mainly directed to the the person who keep holding her from getting away from there.

"Well, of course other than to check my bag and my purse. Even if you offered me to check yours, I wouldn't give mine," She continued, before walked away leaving the room.

Just when she was about to walk down the stairs, Zheng Xiaomeng stopped her, grabbing her left arms from the bag.

"What do you mean by that? Why is it that I should let you check mine?"

"Yeah, It was not Meng jie' who's moving out." Zheng Xiaoqi joined.

"Just because I'm moving out, I am taking your things?" Chen Ziyi retorted.

"Who knows? Since you did that before in the past, isn't?"

Chen Ziyi scoffed hearing that.

"Zheng Xiaomeng, I think you're confuse between the word of take and taking back. I am not sure you really forget or you pretend to forget. It wasn't me stealing or taking other people's belongings, but It was you and your sisters 'borrowing' mine. All I did was take them back. But what you did back then? you framed me. You tell everyone lies, that I sneaked around take your stuff, other people's stuff. You take advantage of Zheng Haozu's hostile feelings towards me, grandmother disliking me and Zheng Shuyu situation with me, framing me, worsening my relationship with everyone."

"Oh-I forgot. The framing part did not come from you mainly. It was from you, Zheng Xiaoqi. Do you think, I wouldn't know? You know from the beginning, that Zheng Xiaomeng doesn't like me that much. You take advantage of that and started that whole framing thing."

"And then, you continued from there," Chen Ziyi turned back her face to Zheng Xaomeng when she said that.

"Chen Ziyi, what are you talking about? I don't remember any of that. Anyway, the event just something that happened during our childhood times. Why are you so bitter about that?" Zheng Xiaoqi who somehow became agitated, also grabbed the Chen Ziyi's arm but right one, to which bring discomfort to her since both her hand was still carrying the boxes.

"What are you both doing, right now? Let me go. I don't care. You once said to everyone- once a liar, forever a liar. I think -thats suits you more than me. L-I-A-R. Liar."

"Who's a liar?!"

"Huh, so what Haozu told me was true. You really so freaking annoying now. What are you calling me just now? Just my name. no respect title anymore?"

"So what? How about you, 'Meng Jie'? in the past, you used to tell me not to call you jiejie, saying its not suited me. To only call you that in front of everyone. You know what, 'Meng jie'? You call me annoying? to me, just like this Xiaoqi, you are a thief, liar and hypocrite as well. You the one who always envious of me for being better than you, yet you say I was the one envious of that Shuyu who have nothing other than this family as her back up-what are you doing right now? Let go of my hands!"

"What did you say just now? I am jealous of you?! you are better than me? Which part of you that better than me? You are unwanted, not like me. Watch your words to me, Chen Ziyi." Zheng Xiaomeng's grip turn stronger pained Chen Ziyi.

"I know. You just jealous of Shuyu right. Thats why you suddenly mention her name in this fight", Zheng Xiaoqi's grip that also somehow become stronger than before, to Chen Ziyi not sure whether it was due to that girl's surged emotion or intentional.

To her dismay, both Zheng Xiaoqi and Zheng Xiaomeng did not look like going to let her go. Chen Ziyi wanted to have a gap between her and them that kept shortened by the two cousins, so she decided to take a little step back.

Upon she took the step back, she just realized she was going to fall back as behind was the stairs. So Chen Ziyi naturally want to save herself and move her leg forward instead. However, her movement somehow caught Zheng Xiaomeng off guard and fell to the floor.

"Ahh!", Surprised by the sudden move, Zheng Xiaomeng shouted.

"WHAT is happening there?!!" The three of them unconsciously turned their head to the owner of the roared voice.

"Haiyaaa, what is it again?" The old lady who they could hear her rushing walk sounds appeared in front of them, made them stunned for a while.

Upon the old lady saw Zheng Xiaomeng was on the floor, with her quite sloppy look, she slowly crouched down her body and do a checking on Zheng Xiaomeng's body as if she should not have any injury on any part of her body.

When she realized there was no other injury other than the disorder breathing Zheng Xiaomeng had and the stunned look, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned her head to the other two girls. Her other two granddaughter, whose one arm still hold another and stunned expression on their face.

"Chen Ziyi! What did you do to Xiaomeng?!"

Chen Ziyi could only chuckled hearing that.

She was about to retort that she didnt do it intentionally, but Zeng Lihu has arrived there with his reddened face and expression that Chen Ziyi know that he really not liking such situation in front of his eyes right now.

Looking at the three girls in front of his eyes, with Zheng Xiaoqi still grabbing Chen Ziyi's arm, Zheng Lihu could already assume what happen.

"Dont you feel embarrassed at all to have a fight at your age, in the middle of this house, where all the maid could see and hear you? I don't want to hear what was the content of your quarrel. I think you three know what my likes and dislike are, right? Xiaoqi, let Ziyi's hand go. Ziyi, Apologize to Xiaomeng before you go."

"Excuse me? Apologize to Meng jie'?" Hearing what her grandfather said, Chen Ziyi who felt it was not her fault to begin with, obviously felt no need to apologize.

"Just do it. You pushed her, so she fell."

"I didn't pushed her. I asked them to let my hands go-but they didn't-"

"So you pushed her."

Chen Ziyi hate that look on her grandfather's face. Her grandfather obviously forcing this impression to her. She did pushed Zheng Xiaomeng. Only that. The root cause, the reasons, what happened before that, none of those matter to him. This is his house, so she have to listen to the house owner-that is HIM-her grandfather. What he said, she should follow. she was his grandfather, and she was in his house.

At this time, she knew Zheng Xiaoqi and Zheng Xiaomeng must have the win look. Win as their grandfather who would not probe into the issue would obviously choose to end it with Chen Ziyi's apologize, as always. And as always if she should choose to refuse it, both of their grandparents would only dislike her more.

Silence. No words from Chen Ziyi. That's enough to confirm.

Having no reply from Chen Ziyi and the unyielding look on the girl's face made the old lady's dislikes to that hateful granddaughter growing bigger.

"What did I say previously to you, old man? Her presence here is only bring bad things to our family. She cannot control her temper no matter how big she age now. After all the chances we gave to her, she never change. Chen Ziyi, it's good now that you're moving out. I dont want bad luck in this house. Just get out of this house and dont come back. Go!"

"Leave this house now!"
