Chapter 1637: Chapter 20: Ming Guang Outsmarts His Fat Nephew (Part 3)
Zhongxuan Yunbo looked at him and said slowly, “But smart people often rely on their intelligence, disregarding the rules of the world, thinking they can control everything… Sotis, one should know when to stop. Even our Zhong Xuan Family cannot ddle in everything.”
Zhongxuan Sheng wanted to use Marquis of Boxiang’s Mansion as a cover to sneak Jiang Wang out of the city, which was certainly impossible to hide from Zhongxuan Yunbo.
This was not a big deal; what the old man was wary of was, of course, the assassination attempt on Concubine Lei.
“Grandfather, rest assured, I know my limits,” Zhongxuan Sheng said.
“Exactly!” Zhongxuan Mingguang suddenly chid in.
Zhongxuan Sheng looked at him in so surprise.
Can you actually understand what we are saying?
Zhongxuan Mingguang, with a smug expression like “I caught you now”, looked at his chubby nephew and said, “I heard you’re involved in the gambling business, is that so? Gambling is harmful! So many families are ruined, so many couples separated. Is this a business for respectable families? It would completely ruin the reputation of our Zhong Xuan Family! I’ll say it now. I stand against this ‘gambling’ word! Our Zhong Xuan Family stands against this ‘gambling’ word! You must not make a mistake, or it will be too late for regrets!”
“Father.” He probably knew that no matter how severe his words were, they were useless, and turned to Zhongxuan Yunbo for support: “Tell this kid to shut it down quickly.”
Zhongxuan Sheng was stunned: “Uncle, I saw you visiting the casino just a few days ago!”
Zhongxuan Mingguang glared: “Visiting a casino and running a casino, are they the sa? Do they have the sa nature? You’re harming people, I’m being hard! Can our Marquis Mansion run a business that harms people?”
Zhongxuan Yunbo was clearly sowhat exhausted but had no inclination to guide his eldest son.
If he could be taught well, why would it have waited until today?
He just waved weakly at Zhongxuan Sheng: “Indeed, there is no need to do business in this area.”
“Actually, grandson only owns a few shares, and it’s in soone else’s na…” Zhongxuan Sheng explained with a word, before saying, “Since grandfather and uncle have spoken, I will go back and close it down.”
Zhongxuan Mingguang nodded with satisfaction: “To know one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest good, Sheng may have had a misguided thought, but after all, he is a son of our Zhong Xuan Family, his foundation is still good!”
He then put on a stern face, employing both kindness and severity: “Go back and close it now, lest delays bring more complications. For every additional hour that casino is open, our Zhong Xuan Family is talked about another hour! Sitting here feels like sitting on pins and needles!”
Zhongxuan Sheng didn’t seem to mind at all, saying with a smile: “Uncle is right, this nephew will go back and close the casino.”
Then he said to Zhongxuan Yunbo: “Grandfather, I’ll co to visit you next ti.”
Zhongxuan Mingguang, fearing that his chubby nephew might use flattering words to win over the old man’s favor in the absence of his own genius son, quickly chid in: “Go ahead, go ahead, the old man is here with . Don’t worry, go back and cultivate well, your cultivation has fallen too far behind!”
Even though Zhongxuan Sheng always adhered to the principle of “whatever you say is right” towards Zhongxuan Mingguang, he felt sowhat upset by these words—how can you have the nerve to criticize my cultivation?
But thinking it over, he still smiled and left the courtyard.
With an uncle like this, what more could one wish for?
Zhongxuan Mingguang didn’t know what was on Zhongxuan Sheng’s mind; seeing his chubby nephew leave, he felt he had won another important round for his son, feeling particularly elated.
Without my worries, how could Zun’er manage? How could this family manage?
He looked around, seeing no one present, and then sidled up to the old man.
With a diligent, mysterious look, he said, “Old man, didn’t you just ntion you couldn’t hold sothing up… I understand you! I have a recipe here, it’s very effective…”
…
Zhongxuan Sheng was nearly out of the Marquis Mansion when he suddenly heard an angry roar from the backyard, like a veteran returning to the battlefield, like an angry lion awakening, like a fierce tiger roaring in the mountains—
“I’ll kill you, you unfilial son!”
