OBS Chapter 10 The Luo Family
Chapter 10 The Luo Family
Zhao Feng felt incredibly wronged. He clearly hadn't done it, yet everyone was blaming him. He felt like he'd been smeared with mud on his pants—even if he wasn't the one doing it, he was still accused.
For the past few days, he had been practicing a new boxing style with his third senior brother, completely oblivious to what was happening around him. He only came out after hearing the news of his senior brother Lu's accident. Then he heard about it from others.
Several days later, it was too late for him to come out and clarify. Everyone believed that he had rushed out to deny it because he was afraid of being punished by the headmaster after Senior Brother Lu's accident.
In all honesty, he really didn't.
Seeing that no one believed him no matter what he said, and that his words were getting increasingly offensive, Zhao Feng decided not to stay any longer and turned to leave.
"Who framed me? I'm going to find you!"
His face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth. He needed to go directly to his third senior brother; only he could prove his innocence.
……
With such a big incident at the martial arts school, everyone lost their will to practice and just kept talking about it.
The trainees gradually calmed down and were no longer as agitated as before.
More than an hour later, Pang Guoyong finally appeared and said to them, "Just focus on practicing martial arts and don't get distracted by anything else."
Hearing him say that, everyone felt relieved and began their daily training.
Chen Qiyuan opened the panel and glanced at it, feeling a great sense of satisfaction.
Name: Chen Qiyuan
【Technique: Hunyuan Stance (Mastery 7/500)】
Martial Arts Skills: Tiger Fist (Mastery 79/500), Strange Steps (Proficiency 102/200)
Today I improved two martial arts skills, each gaining over seventy points in proficiency, saving me a lot of hard work.
Just then, he suddenly sensed Pang Guoyong's gaze fall upon him, lingering for a second before looking away.
"What does he mean by that?"
Chen Qiyuan felt he was increasingly unable to understand this Senior Brother Pang.
Pang Guoyong was the only person in the martial arts school who knew that he was the one who destroyed the Blood Wolf Gang's casino, but he didn't tell anyone. He let Zhao Feng take the blame.
Logically speaking, he had no ill intentions towards me.
However, Chen Qiyuan still felt that there was something wrong with this person.
It's best to minimize contact.
……
At noon, Qian Gang suddenly came to find Chen Qiyuan and invited him to have lunch together, which he readily agreed to.
Besides him, there were several other people who were usually close to Meng Junfei.
Upon arriving at a nearby restaurant and entering a private room, Chen Qiyuan was somewhat surprised to see Meng Junfei sitting inside. "Senior Brother Meng, you've emerged from seclusion?"
Apart from him, the others all remained calm, clearly already aware of Meng Junfei's departure from seclusion.
Meng Junfei smiled and said, "Not bad, I successfully comprehended the hidden strength a few days ago."
Congratulations, senior brother.
Chen Qiyuan found it strange. Since he had already broken through, why didn't he go to the martial arts school?
"Don't stand, sit down."
Meng Junfei gestured for them to sit down and ordered the waiter to serve the dishes. Then, he said with a smile, "Junior brother, you've come at the right time. Let's consider this our farewell dinner."
"Breaking up?" Chen Qiyuan was greatly surprised. "What does that mean?"
"I will never go to Wu's Martial Arts School again."
"I see. That's a real pity." Chen Qiyuan said with a regretful expression. People as generous as him are not common.
Seeing his genuine emotions, Meng Junfei was somewhat moved and decided to offer a word of advice: "Junior Brother Chen, it's best if you don't go to the martial arts school these days. You've already reached the Ming Jin stage, so it doesn't matter where you train."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."
……
After dinner, Qian Gang and the others stayed to drink with Meng Junfei, while Chen Qiyuan left alone.
Just as I was about to leave the restaurant, several women walked out towards me. They were dressed in fine silks and satins, and were clearly young ladies from wealthy families.
He stepped aside and waited for them to come in first.
Suddenly, one of the girls in yellow stopped and looked at him in surprise. "Luo Qiyuan, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the name "Luo Qiyuan," Chen Qiyuan felt as if his head had been pricked by a needle, triggering a flood of fragmented memories.
You've mistaken me for someone else.
He replied expressionlessly, then stepped out of the restaurant.
The girl in green next to the girl in yellow asked curiously, "Tingting, who was that just now?"
The woman named Tingting was unwilling to say, and said evasively, "She's someone I knew before."
A girl in red walking ahead clapped her hands, "Isn't that your cousin?"
"Cousin? Which cousin?"
"That unlucky guy from the Luo family."
The girl in green suddenly realized, "That's the son of your aunt and her husband who married into the family. He was the eldest son who was supposed to inherit the Luo family business. He was dressed so shabbily that I didn't recognize him."
"He actually has the nerve to stay in Nan'an City..."
"..."
Several girls were chattering away, oblivious to everyone else. Meng Junfei and his friends overheard them all.
Meng Junfei couldn't help but be very curious. Did Chen Qiyuan have some kind of complicated and bizarre background?
He was so eager to find out that he couldn't sleep at night.
So he sent a clever man to find out the origins of the girls.
It wasn't hard to find out that these women were from wealthy families in the north of the city, and they had come to the south of the city specifically to go shopping today.
The woman in yellow was surnamed Hu and named Hu Yuting.
As for the Luo family they mentioned, they were a prominent family in the north of the city, running a well-known medicinal herb business.
The clever servant said, "The Luo family has had only one son per generation for generations. The current head of the family was over forty years old when he finally had two daughters, one of whom was born out of wedlock."
"This Master Luo was anxious, so when his eldest daughter turned eighteen, he took in a son-in-law who would live with him. The following year, they had a son, named Luo Qiyuan."
"Originally, Luo Qiyuan should have been the successor of the Luo family. Who would have thought that the old master Luo was old but not young at heart. He took a concubine when he was nearly sixty years old, and in less than two years, the concubine gave birth to a son for him."
"Young master, think about it, how can a grandson be as dear as a biological son? So Luo Qiyuan naturally falls out of favor."
Upon hearing this, Meng Junfei couldn't help but feel great sympathy for Luo Qiyuan. "So, later the Luo family kicked Luo Qiyuan out of their home, and that's why he changed back to his father's surname?"
The servant said, "Master Luo isn't that heartless. The Luo family isn't very large, so he wouldn't just drive away a member of the Luo family for no reason. It's said that a few years ago, Luo Qiyuan went mad and tried to poison my uncle and grandmother. Master Luo was so angry that he drove him away and even removed him from the family register."
Meng Junfei was somewhat surprised after hearing this. After a long while, he sighed, "I didn't expect this kid to be so ruthless."
A few years ago, Chen Qiyuan was probably only eleven or twelve years old. To dare to commit such a heinous act, he's truly extraordinary.
……
"No wonder the original owner wanted to practice martial arts."
On the other side, Chen Qiyuan finally understood many things on his way back to the martial arts school.
He had not inherited all of the original owner's memories until he met his cousin Hu Yuting just now, and finally remembered the original owner's background.
The original owner was determined to learn martial arts, not only to deal with Wang Dawei, but also to take revenge and reclaim everything that belonged to him.
A few years ago, he went from being a rich young master to being kicked out of his home, losing everything, and nearly starving to death on the streets. His mother was also forced to remarry, and they rarely saw each other again.
All of this is because of that woman.
He was framed.
