Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

When the Cheng family saw Elder Yue Huo being so polite to Cheng Yu, they realized that their prior thoughts had been too simplistic.

They had assumed that marrying the nephew of the Supreme Elder, who was also the palace master of the Immortal Sect, would be a prestigious match, but it turned out that Master Mu’s marriage to Cheng Yu had become a farce.

The eyes of the Cheng family discreetly fell on Li Tianyan and Cheng Hui, and Cheng Hui hadn’t expected that his third son would be fortunate enough to be connected with Li Tianyan.

The old madam stepped forward and smiled kindly at Cheng Yu, “Xiao Yu, this matter is over. Your second sister-in-law was simply ignorant. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Yes, if the eldest aunt had known that your second aunt had agreed to marry in this manner, she would never have accepted it,” Mrs. Feng quickly added with a smile.

Cheng Jingru even slapped Mrs. Nao to the ground, “This is all the fault of a reckless woman like you! You dare to gamble and stir up trouble.”

Lan Ju couldn’t hide the smile on her face as she watched Mrs. Nao being scolded by Cheng Jingru.

Seeing Mrs. Nao being beaten, Cheng Yi and his wife couldn’t help but frown. It wasn’t that they sympathized with Mrs. Nao, but rather that everyone in the Cheng family had been complicit in this matter. If they had truly cared about Cheng Yi’s family, this situation would never have happened.

When the betrothal gifts were distributed, none of them had taken less than their share, but now they were all too eager to place the blame solely on Mrs. Nao.

Cheng Yi had looked at the faces of the Cheng family and felt extremely strange, only to realize that he had never observed them so carefully before.

Now that he had made up his mind, Cheng Yi stepped forward, stood in front of his wife and Cheng Yu, and took out the separation document that had been prepared in advance. “I’m not only here today to cancel the engagement, but you should also sign the separation document.”

“A separation? Third brother, you want to separate the family?” Cheng Jingru was shocked. He had guessed that Cheng Yi’s family wanted to separate and live on their own, but he hadn’t expected that Cheng Yi actually wanted to sever all ties under the black and white document.

“Third son, your mother and I are still alive. Don’t even think about breaking off the relationship. I won’t agree to it.” Cheng Hui had tried to ease the situation with his third son, but in the end, Cheng Yi actually took out the proposal to sever the relationship. He immediately rejected it with an angry look.

“If you dare break off your relationship today, I’ll die in front of you,” The old madam had also threatened.

The entire Cheng Mansion had exploded because of this separation letter, and the ones who had reacted most violently were the old master and his wife.

They had just learned that Cheng Yu’s net worth was higher than they had expected, and Cheng Yi had such a prominent figure as Li Tianyan by his side. The Cheng family was sure to prosper in the future, so how could they agree to break off the relationship?

However, this time Cheng Yi’s attitude had been extremely firm. “Our family has paid enough over the years, and I don’t want my child to be forced into another inexplicable decision in the future.”

This time, the Cheng family had made the decision on Cheng Yu’s marriage without authorization, which had reminded Cheng Yi that if he didn’t sever ties with the Cheng family, having such a poor relationship would surely ruin Cheng Yu’s future.

With Cheng Yu’s qualifications, he might have been able to reach a broader world in the future. As a father, Cheng Yi couldn’t assist Cheng Yu with cultivation, but he couldn’t allow his child to be caught up in family troubles.

Therefore, severing ties with the Cheng family had become a necessity. From then on, no one could tie up Cheng Yu or make decisions for him without his permission.

The old madam had said softly, “We did something wrong in this matter. I promise you that the same thing won’t happen again in the future. But if you want to break off the relationship, there’s no way. Cheng Yu is a descendant of my Cheng family, and he can only be a member of our family for the rest of his life.”

“Yes, third brother, cough cough, we’re brothers. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Big brother also promises you that no one in the Cheng family will trouble Cheng Yu in the future.” Cheng Jingyuan had coughed as he spoke, his tone a little harsh.

“Third sister-in-law, please help persuade the third brother. How can a family have an overnight feud?” Mrs. Feng said and had tried to grab Lin Hui’s hand, but was suddenly bounced away by something.

Cheng Yu glanced at the Cheng family, raised a treasure box, and said coldly, “As long as you sign the separation document, this magic box will be yours.”

The Cheng family took a look and realized that this was the betrothal gift sent by the Mu family.

“Giving things to the Cheng family is too cheap for them. Young master, if it’s not convenient for Cheng Yu and the others to do it. How about I go and deal with these people?” Cheng Qi puffed out his cheeks and spoke.

Although Cheng Qi didn’t like those things, they could be exchanged for spiritual stones. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.

Li Tianyan looked amused, stretched out his hand, and pinched Cheng Qi’s soft cheek. “You don’t need to take action; someone will take care of them in the future.”

Since it was a separation letter, it was better to live outside willingly. A beating might be effective, but it wasn’t the best solution.

“Who?” Cheng Qi tilted his head in confusion.

Li Tianyan pressed his chin, and Cheng Qi looked in his direction. It was Elder Yue Huo and Mu Hengtian beside him. Mu Hengtian had been staring at the box in Cheng Yu’s hand with malicious eyes.

“If Mu Hengtian knew that the Cheng family had severed ties with Cheng Yu, and that the box of betrothal gifts had fallen into the hands of the Cheng family, he would definitely not let it go and would fight with them.” Li Tianyan had transmitted this to Cheng Qi.

How could Cheng Yu not know this? He had probably done it on purpose.
