Outrageous! This crappy system forces me to upgrade my beauty every day

Chapter 214: Finding Money

"If you don't give it to me, I'll just spill your secrets!"

Cheng Xuan didn't care about that anymore. He was still so young and didn't want to go to jail.

He had visited Cheng Qiyuan in prison before, and was so scared that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

Cheng Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up tremblingly, and limped forward a few steps with his crutches.

With a gloomy face, he asked Cheng Xuan seriously, "What do you know?"

Cheng Xuan was a little frightened by him. He quickly took several steps back and spoke incoherently.

"It's...it's about you and uncle! Uncle isn't your son at all, right?

He was actually his great-grandfather's child, who died unexpectedly at that time.

You took your one-year-old uncle in to raise for his family fortune, and told others he was your son!"

Cheng Yan's expression almost froze as he approached Cheng Xuan step by step.

"Who told you all this?"

Cheng Xuan swallowed and felt that he was a little impulsive.

"It was me... My dad got drunk one time and accidentally let something slip, and I found out."

Cheng Yan almost fainted, and his body swayed before he managed to stabilize himself.

"What else did he say? Who else was there?"

"No... no one else, Dad just told me these." Cheng Xuan stuttered, glancing around, not daring to look directly at Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan didn't believe it. He narrowed his eyes and his gaze scraped Cheng Xuan's face like a knife.

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise we'll all suffer together!"

Cheng Xuan was shocked. After being threatened by Cheng Yan, he dared not hide anything.

"He also said... he said my uncle... didn't die in an accident..." He became increasingly quiet as he spoke.

"But... he didn't say anything specific. He was already completely drunk at that time!"

Then, Cheng Xuan immediately made a promise.

"Grandpa, if you give me three million, I promise not to tell Cheng Wang about this. I'll keep it to myself!"

Cheng Yan slowly sat back in his seat, his expression gradually relaxing.

"Your grandpa really doesn't have any money..." He sighed after saying that.

When he and a few others divided the remaining money, they didn't dare tell Cheng Yan at all.

Cheng Xuan was now completely desperate. Since he couldn't get any money, he could only ask Cheng Qichu and the others for help.

Just as he turned around to leave, Cheng Yan suddenly called out to him.

"Wait a minute... I have a solution that might work..."

Cheng Xuan asked anxiously, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"What's the solution? Grandpa, tell me!"

Cheng Yan chuckled, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"You can take Cheng Qiming's ashes and exchange them for money..."

Cheng Xuan's eyes dimmed instantly, and he explained somewhat helplessly.

"Grandpa, have you forgotten? I already exchanged that thing with Cheng Wang for money last time..."

Cheng Yan showed a disdainful smile on his face.

"Hmph, the ashes I gave to that little beast last time... cough cough cough... were fake. Real ashes wouldn't be so easy to find."

Cheng Xuan's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

He really didn't expect that Cheng Yan still had a trick up his sleeve. It turned out that the old ones are the wisest.

This time, there was a real turn of events. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Cheng Yan and asked.

"Where…where is that thing hidden now?"

Cheng Yan coughed a few times, looked at Cheng Xuan and told him a location.

Cheng Xuan looked at Cheng Yan in disbelief and really wanted to give him a thumbs up on the spot.

At this time, Cheng Yin was standing outside the study door with his butt sticking out and his ear close to the door.

He opened his eyes wide, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

Not long after, Cheng Yin came out in a panic, holding a small shovel and wearing a fisherman's hat.

Cheng Xuan learned the whereabouts of the ashes, but did not take any action.

It’s not that he’s not anxious, but that he doesn’t dare. He gets scared whenever he thinks of that thing.

Moreover, according to Cheng Qiyuan, the two people were murdered, which made them even more frightened.

But those people were urging him to do it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dig it out.

But…just as he touched that spot, he found it was empty!! Someone had gotten there first!

His head buzzed and he looked around frantically, feeling a cold wind rushing towards his back.

Now he didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately ran back in shame.

He had to ask clearly, this was his only chance.

"Grandpa!! That thing is gone! Who else did you tell this?"

As soon as Cheng Xuan opened the door of the study, he started questioning.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw his brother Cheng Yuan and stopped immediately.

Cheng Yuan received several rounds of psychological treatment and is now feeling much better.

Although the relationship with Cheng Yan cannot return to what it was before, it has eased a lot.

Moreover, the Cheng family is still relying on him to make money, so naturally they will not go against him.

But Cheng Xuan always felt that Cheng Yuan was different from before, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

So unless it was necessary, he didn't want to face Cheng Yuan.

He didn't expect to meet Cheng Yuan in the study, so he walked in with his head held high.

He looked up at Cheng Yuan who was smoking and greeted him softly.

"Brother, you are here too?"

Cheng Yuan exhaled a puff of smoke, making his face a little blurry and unclear.

"Well...what did you just say disappeared?" Cheng Yuan put out the cigarette and looked at Cheng Xuan and asked.

Cheng Xuan looked at Cheng Yan nervously, as if asking what he meant.

Cheng Yuan saw his expression and sneered, "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"I... I'm fine... Grandpa, I'll come see you later..." Cheng Xuan said, turned around and wanted to leave.

"You are looking for ashes, right?" Cheng Yuan suddenly spoke coldly, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

When Cheng Xuan heard this, his body suddenly stiffened. He slowly turned around, his eyes full of fear and confusion: "Brother, how did you know?"

Cheng Yuan stood up, put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked towards Cheng Xuan: "Because I took that thing."

Cheng Yuan looked at Cheng Xuan in disbelief, grabbing Cheng Yuan's arm anxiously.

"What do you want that for? Brother! Give it to me now, and I'll give you a share when I get the money!"

Cheng Yuan shook off his hand expressionlessly and started playing with the lighter in his hand.

"I want this thing for a purpose, so don't worry about it!"

"Hurry up and give this to Xuan. It can be exchanged for some money now!"

Cheng Yan also prefers to exchange this thing for money.

After all, the Cheng family is really broke, and their quality of life is incomparable to before.

Cheng Yuan just smiled and turned to talk to Cheng Yan.

"How about you give me this thing and I'll help you pay for the painting?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Cheng Xuan and continued to speak.

"I'll give you another five million. Can you give him to me now?"

Cheng Xuan moved his lips, wanting to say that he had exchanged 50 million last time, so this time it would be at least tens of millions.

But he didn't dare to say it. After all, he didn't know whether Cheng Yuan would go crazy again, so he could only agree in the end.

After hearing what Cheng Yuan said, Cheng Yan did not dare to refute it.

After all, he had the honor of witnessing Cheng Yuan's madness last time, so it was not unacceptable for him to pay to help him repair the painting.
