Who is Zheng Laiyi?

He is the grandson of Zheng Guotong, the founder of the Zheng family legend.

Who is his father then?

He is the illegitimate son of Zheng Guotong, and an abandoned illegitimate son.

Although he knew that there was such a son living outside, due to the opposition of his family, Zheng Guotong ruthlessly rejected the child and let his mistress take the child to wander.It was not until eight years ago that Zheng Guotong found out that his son and daughter-in-law had died in a car accident because of a whim, and the only surviving grandson had been in the orphanage for nearly two years.

Whether it is to make up for it or to be pitiful, Zheng Laiyi was taken back to the Zheng family.

After being taken back, Zheng Laiyi's life is free from material worries, and starvation and cold have become a thing of the past, but the feeling of being out of place makes him live even harder.By the time Mr. Zheng noticed, he had already refused to step out of the villa.

Without further ado, Mr. Zheng drove everyone out of the villa, and did not even allow anyone to step into the villa without consent.

But no matter how Zheng Guotong made up for it, Zheng Laiyi was still only willing to stay here, in the room.Mr. Zheng Guotong had no choice but to let him go.

Then, until now, Mr. Zheng died of illness, and relatives who were kicked out and who were not kicked out all flocked to this villa with only one purpose, to make Zheng Laiyi, who didn't understand anything, hand over everything.In order to achieve this goal, they even drove away the housekeeper who served the old man most of the time, because only in this way, these people could collude without any scruples and persecute Zheng Laiyi.

However, no one expected that Mr. Zheng, who left in such a hurry, still had time to find a backing for Zheng Laiyi—no, it should be said that everyone was blinded by money. After he left, would his emaciated grandson be besieged by this group of wolf-like relatives?

In the first contest, in Zheng Laiyi's silence, all the people who rushed forward hungrily were repelled by the sudden appearance of Jiang Mingjing.

The unwilling relatives must have gone back to find someone to investigate Jiang Mingjing, but Jiang Mingjing didn't care, what he cared about was the rumored young master in front of him.

But Zheng Laiyi was obviously not interested. He sat on the soft cushion with his legs curled up, with a bored expression on his face.

Jiang Mingjing walked up to him, squatted down, and kept his eyes level with him.

"Hello, young master, my name is Jiang Mingjing. Mr. Zheng entrusted me to take care of you. You can regard me as your guardian."

Zheng Laiyi was silent - he hadn't spoken for a whole day, and even with such a large group of people, no one had heard him speak for so many days.

But Jiang Mingjing was not discouraged.

"I often hear the old man mention you. Do you know that your name, Lai Yi, is derived from the Phoenix Lai Yi, which means auspiciousness. And my name, Ming Jing, Gaotai Ming Jing, also comes from an idiom, so Zheng Zheng The old man once said that there is a predestined relationship between you and me, and because of this, he entrusted you to my care."

Zheng Laiyi was silent.His eyes are so straight, looking straight ahead, people can't tell for a moment, is Zheng Laiyi looking at the person in front, or just looking at the front?

Did he see himself?Jiang Mingjing couldn't help asking himself this question in his heart, but no one gave him an answer.

"Are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest?"

This time, Zheng Laiyi finally responded.Barefoot, he walked back to the room quietly, stepping on the carpet stained by the crowd that had just dispersed.

Looking at Zheng Laiyi's back, Jiang Mingjing let out a big breath until he disappeared from sight and the door closed slightly.

Hey, it seems a bit difficult to deal with.

In the evening, when Jiang Mingjing was tidying up in the living room, he heard the sound of breaking plates from the kitchen.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Rushing to the kitchen, Jiang Mingjing saw Zheng Laiyi looking expressionlessly at the broken plate on the floor and the irregularly cut apples scattered among the pieces.

Jiang Mingjing knew what had happened.Without even thinking about it, he hurriedly hugged the barefooted Zheng Laiyi away to prevent his feet from being scratched.

"You're hungry, aren't you?"

Zheng Laiyi didn't respond, he just sat at the dining table, silent.

Jiang Mingjing began to get used to his pattern.

"Sit here and wait for me, I'll cook."

After cleaning up the broken plates and the apples that fell on the ground, Jiang Mingjing began to check the refrigerator, but found that there were very few things in the refrigerator, only a few vegetables and fruits, and the only meat was eggs.

How can this be enough to feed a growing boy?

However, living in the suburbs, and there was a hungry person outside, Jiang Mingjing had no choice but to use these ingredients to make simple food first, and then go out to buy other things later.

Although just now he was an elite in suit and leather shoes who calmly drove away many people, now in the kitchen, Jiang Mingjing didn't seem obtrusive at all. He picked up the kitchen utensils very naturally and started cooking skillfully.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Mingjing walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of vegetable soup and a plate of fried eggs, and put the things in front of Zheng Laiyi.

"You can eat as much as you can, and I'll buy some later when I go out for you as a supper."

Zheng Laiyi silently picked up the spoon, drank the vegetable soup, and occasionally picked some vegetables into his mouth to chew.

Seeing Zheng Laiyi eating, Jiang Mingjing was a little relieved. He was so worried that Zheng Laiyi would not eat what he made.

But, gradually, Jiang Mingjing realized something was wrong.

"Don't you eat fried eggs?"

"..."

"Or do you prefer boiled eggs? Do you want me to make them for you now?"

"..."

"Master, it's not enough to just drink vegetable soup. If you don't like eggs, then I'll buy you something else now. What do you want to eat? Roast chicken? Chicken wings? Roast duck? Or fish?"

"..."

Zheng Laiyi picked up the bowl and drank the last sip of soup, then he spoke.

"I'm stuffed."

This was the first time Jiang Mingjing heard Zheng Laiyi's voice. It had the immatureness of a teenager, but it had already begun to have a deep charm, but it was still young, which gave people an incredible feeling.

Jiang Mingjing didn't have time to immerse himself in the emotion of hearing Zheng Laiyi's answer for the first time. Seeing that Zheng Laiyi was going back to the room again, Jiang Mingjing quickly grabbed him.

"Full? Just some vegetable soup? How is this enough? Do you have anything else you want to eat? Or do you prefer ribs? You are too thin, you must eat more meat!"

When he hugged him just now, Jiang Mingjing wanted to say that he is so thin that he can touch his bones. He is still in the developmental stage, if he loses any more weight, it will definitely affect his body.

But Zheng Laiyi didn't feel Jiang Mingjing's worry. His gaze first slipped around Jiang Mingjing's hand holding him, and then returned to Jiang Mingjing's face.

"I'm full, I don't eat meat."

"No, you must eat meat! Although the old man said that you are a partial eclipse, since I am taking care of you now, I can't let you continue like this!"

Zheng Laiyi twisted his hands, and Jiang Mingjing felt that he let go of his hand quickly. He thought he hurt him, but as soon as he let go, Zheng Laiyi left without saying a word.

Jiang Mingjing didn't give up, and shouted behind him: "I'm going out to buy things now, do you want anything?"

"..."

Looking at Zheng Laiyi's thin back again, Jiang Mingjing sighed again.

Why is it so difficult?
