The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1897 New and Old Grudges!

A secluded courtyard in Beijing.

The moment she pushed open the door, Zhao Yingnan exclaimed with delight, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

At this point, Zhao Yingnan happily rushed over, appearing exceptionally pleased.

Looking at his beloved granddaughter, Grandpa Zhao immediately exclaimed, "Oh, my dear granddaughter is back!"

As he spoke, Grandpa Zhao stepped forward, looking happily at his granddaughter.

But the next second, Grandpa Zhao saw Zhang Cheng and immediately became suspicious. He stepped forward and looked him over, saying, "Young man, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

"No, no, how could I have ever seen you!"

Sweat beaded on his face as he turned his head, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but gasp. He realized the old man looked familiar; it was the same man he had kicked over the bucket at Shichahai that day!
"Hmm? You really haven't seen me before? But you look very familiar!"

Approaching Zhang Cheng, Grandpa Zhao's eyes were wide open, as if to say, "Look me in the eye, you bastard!"

"Hehe, sir, I don't fish!"

As Grandpa Zhao drew closer, Zhang Cheng began to feel guilty.

Because he never expected that he would encounter his victim again in this vast city of Beijing!

"Not fishing? Zhang Cheng, didn't you just say that you could catch sharks and groupers in Meiwan Town?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Zhao Yingnan's face was full of astonishment.

Because what he said was a bit off from what he said earlier!
But just as Zhao Yingnan finished speaking, Grandpa Zhao immediately pointed at Zhang Cheng and roared, "You little brat, it was you!"

"Ok?"

Looking at her grandfather and Zhang Cheng in surprise, Zhao Yingnan's face was filled with astonishment. Could the two of them know each other?
He ran backwards as fast as he could, preparing to rush out of the courtyard.

Grabbing Zhang Cheng by the back of the neck, Grandpa Zhao roared, "Where do you think you're going, you little bastard? You kicked my fish bucket, didn't you!"

"what!"

Looking at her grandfather and Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Zhao Yingnan stared at them in disbelief.

Because Zhang Cheng was the one who was scolded by his grandfather for days for "lacking martial ethics, young man"!
"Sir, would you believe me if I said that's my twin brother?"

As Zhang Cheng explained to Grandpa Zhao, his face was filled with embarrassment.

"If you catch a shark for me from Shichahai Lake, I'll believe you!"

Looking intently at Zhang Cheng, Grandpa Zhao's face was filled with seriousness.

Upon hearing what Grandpa Zhao said, Zhang Cheng immediately spread his hands and said, "Aren't you kidding me? Where would sharks come from in Shichahai!"

"I'm being ridiculous, and you kick my fish bucket, and you still think you're right?!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of annoyance, Grandpa Zhao was also furious.

He'd been sitting there all day, only catching three or four small fish, intending to bring them back to show off. But what happened? Zhang Cheng kicked him.
Hearing her grandfather and Zhang Cheng's conversation, Zhao Yingnan was speechless and said, "So you two know each other!"

"I don't know him!" said Grandpa Zhao.

"I know him!" Zhang Cheng
Their eyes met, and Grandpa Zhao said angrily, "Let me tell you, you little brat, you want to marry my granddaughter? No way! I will never agree to it in my entire life!"

"Grandpa, what are you saying! I invited him to cook!"

Blushing, Zhao Yingnan couldn't help but stomp her feet as she shouted.

Upon hearing Zhao Yingnan's words, Grandpa Zhao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, isn't this yours?"

"no!"

Speechless, Zhao Yingnan looked at her grandfather, unsure how to face Zhang Cheng. However, after her parents returned, the atmosphere at home gradually became more lively.

Upon learning that Zhang Cheng had kicked over his father's fish bucket, Zhao Yingnan's father burst into laughter.
Because he never expected that the person his father couldn't forget would actually be Zhao Yingnan's classmate.

However, Zhao Yingnan's father was quite surprised to learn that Zhang Cheng was proficient in many cuisines.

After all, he had investigated all the students from Renhe at the same age, and the most outstanding one was none other than Zhang Cheng in front of him.
Not only is he a champion in the International Mathematical Olympiad, but he is also a student of a professor at a renowned medical school abroad!
"Xiao Zhang, may I call you that?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Zhao Yingnan's father asked,
"Uncle, please tell me!"

Looking at Zhao Yingnan's father in front of him, Zhang Cheng smiled.
After all, a staff officer without a chief is like a fart that doesn't make a sound; this guy is a genuine division-level officer!

"What is your relationship with Wu Qingshan of the Far East Investment Group?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Zhao Yingnan's father's eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.
Upon hearing Zhao Yingnan's father's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "We're just ordinary friends. I call him 'Big Brother,' and he sponsors my studies!"

Nodding, Zhao Yingnan's father didn't say much.
Wu Qingshan: You call me Big Brother, I'll call you Boss!

In the kitchen, Zhang Cheng showcased his culinary skills, quickly preparing a table full of dishes.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Grandpa Zhao said in surprise, "You lad, your character is questionable, but your skills are quite good!"

Looking at Grandpa Zhao with annoyance, Zhang Cheng turned his head away, not wanting to talk to him.

Because he decided that next time he went fishing, he would kick the fish bucket again, his main goal being to hold a grudge!

Completely unaware of Zhang Cheng's thoughts, Grandpa Zhao presented more than ten thumb-sized fish as if they were treasures, saying, "Young man, this, this!"

Looking at Grandpa Zhao in shock, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "How long have you been saving this?"

"Hey, with my skills, I can finish this in three days!"

Looking proudly at Zhang Cheng, Grandpa Zhao was completely oblivious to the disdain in Zhang Cheng's eyes.
With a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng looked at Grandpa Zhao. He had no choice but to clean the small fish, cook it using the same method as frying fish, and then add the sauce.
Seeing how Zhang Cheng transformed an ordinary little fish into something extraordinary, Grandpa Zhao became happy.

But after the dishes were served, Zhang Cheng cleaned up the kitchen and prepared to leave.
Seeing Zhang Cheng about to leave, Zhao Yingnan quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhang Cheng, where are you going!"

"It's your grandfather's birthday. I'm just here to cook, so I won't be joining in!"

Zhang Cheng smiled as he spoke to Zhao Yingnan.

After all, the cook is not allowed to sit with the host, even if invited, because he has already received his payment!

"Kid, why are you so stubborn! Come on, have a couple of drinks with me!"

After hearing about Zhang Cheng's story, Grandpa Zhao waved to him, showing his appreciation.

However, there was one thing that Grandpa Zhao firmly denied: that this kid lacked martial ethics!

"No need, Uncle Zhao. I need to take this opportunity to visit my cousin!"

While explaining to Grandpa Zhao, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "You guys eat, I'll be going now!"

Just after Zhang Cheng left, Zhao Yingnan's mother returned. When she saw the table full of food, she exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Didn't Yingnan say that her classmate was coming to cook? Where is she?"

"They just left; the child is shy around strangers."

With a smile, Grandpa Zhao glanced at his son beside him.
Upon hearing her father's words, Zhao Yingnan's father replied, "Dad, I was just looking into it."

Why do you need to know so much?

Seeing that Zhao Yingnan looked unhappy, Grandpa Zhao quickly said, "Granddaughter, don't worry, Grandpa will invite him out fishing next time!"

"Grandpa, what are you saying? He and I are just ordinary classmates!"

Hearing her grandfather's words, Zhao Yingnan couldn't help but become anxious.
"Yes, yes, classmate, you've brought him home, and you call him a classmate!"

Picking up his chopsticks, Grandpa Zhao picked up a small fish, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Mmm, this taste is amazing!"
