Chapter 333 Utter Regret
The Niu family looked over in surprise.
The one who said this was actually Niu Zheng, the head of the Niu family.
He looked serious, not at all like he was joking.
"Niu Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about?" The elders of the Niu family frowned, clearly displeased.
“Niu Xingxing and Niu Qingqing are your children, so how can they not be members of the Niu family?”
"Shouldn't we be happy that our Niu family has produced such an outstanding descendant?"
Niu Zheng, however, revealed a mocking smile and shook his head.
"Have you guys had any shame?" he said, using offensive language.
The elders of the Niu family looked angry.
"Niu Zheng, how dare you speak to me like that?"
Niu Zheng glanced at Xiao Chen and Niu Qingqing.
"Don't forget, not long ago it was you and the Sun family who forced me to expel them from the family..."
“Now, they are no longer members of the Niu family.”
“I have said that whether they fall into poverty or become rich and powerful in the future, they will have nothing to do with the Niu family anymore.”
Niu Zheng's words made the elders of the Niu family look embarrassed.
Previously, the Sun family had caused a great disturbance, and they didn't care about the two illegitimate children at all. In order to quell the Sun family's anger, they came together with them to confront them...
At that time, they were aggressive and believed that sacrificing the brother and sister would not cause any loss to the Niu family.
But now, things are different...
Niu Xingxing is a contemporary medicine god and a national hero of the Xia Kingdom!
What a noble status this is!
The Niu family is just a third-rate family. How could they possibly give up this opportunity to climb up by clinging to a powerful family?
"Niu Zheng, why are you still saying these things now?" The elders of the Niu family were extremely embarrassed.
"Before... we were forced into this situation by the Sun family. Who would really want to expel the Niu family bloodline?"
"At the time, we were just going along with them temporarily, putting on a show. Even if we really drove the siblings out, we would have found a way to bring them back..."
The elders of the Niu family defended themselves, appearing to value the brother and sister highly.
“Niu Xingxing, you have to believe us, we really have no ill intentions towards you and your siblings…” They looked at Xiao Chen, trying to persuade him.
"No matter what, you are all of the Niu family bloodline, with Niu family blood flowing in your veins. How could we be so cruel as to harm our own bloodline?"
They were sincere and earnest, as if that was truly what they felt in their hearts.
Xiao Chen looked at them expressionlessly.
How could he not see what the elders of the Niu family were thinking?
He had no good feelings whatsoever towards these sycophantic elders of the Niu family.
Sun Yingrong and her son bullied her from a young age, and no one from the Niu family ever said a word; they all just stood by and watched.
If he really were Niu Xingxing, the brother and sister would definitely have been cruelly expelled from the family and left to wander the streets by now.
"Niu Xingxing, your status is now incredibly high, you are the pride of our Niu family! The Niu family is waiting for you to revitalize it. As a member of the Niu family, this is a responsibility you should shoulder!" An elder of the Niu family invoked righteousness, attempting to coerce Xiao Chen.
"You are so remarkable, the position of family head will surely be yours in the future. With your leadership, the Niu family will definitely be glorious. If our ancestors knew this in the afterlife, they would be extremely gratified and proud of you!"
They spoke with great enthusiasm.
However, Xiao Chen was not interested in this approach.
"These people from the Niu family are truly shameless. I heard that before Master Niu made a name for himself, the Niu family ignored the brother and sister. The two had a low status in the Niu family and had to endure all kinds of bullying from their wicked stepmother and eldest son. They were even worse off than the servants in the Niu family..."
"Now that Master Niu is popular, they immediately changed their tune and now wish they could worship him. Such a pragmatic attitude is truly shameful."
Those who knew the inside story of the Niu family whispered among themselves and began to discuss it.
"That's just how the Niu family is. They're always opportunistic and only care about their own interests. They don't even care about the life or death of their family bloodline. They're just putting on a show here. It's disgusting!"
Some sarcastic remarks were made, and the elders of the Niu family heard them.
Their faces turned pale and then red, looking extremely embarrassed.
But in order to keep Niu Xingxing as a reliable partner, they had to endure the humiliation.
“Niu Zheng, you are their father. How can you bear to drive them out of the family? You are too cruel. Is this what a father should do?” An elder criticized Niu Zheng, trying to persuade him to change his mind.
Niu Zheng smiled.
"As the head of the Niu family, my word is law," he said. "You forced me to expel them. Now that they have been expelled, it's a fait accompli, and they are no longer members of the Niu family!"
The elders of the Niu family fell silent.
Niu Zheng's behavior was hard for them to understand.
Not only them, but the guests were also full of questions.
Why did he want to drive his own children out of the family so badly?
This shouldn't be happening...
"Third Brother, what is Father thinking? Does he hate us?" Niu Qingqing asked Xiao Chen in a low voice, somewhat sad.
Xiao Chen calmly shook his head.
Although Niu Zheng has neglected the siblings over the years and hasn't shown much emotion when facing them, Xiao Chen could tell that he actually cared about the siblings.
She even favored him more than her eldest son, Niu Shaolong!
Some things, no matter how hard you try to hide them, can't be hidden.
Xiao Chen could sense Niu Qingqing's concern from the fact that Niu Zheng celebrated Niu Qingqing's birthday.
"He wants to deliberately sever ties with you, and also make you sever ties with the Niu family..." Xiao Chen pondered.
Even without the Sun family's outburst, he probably would have already considered severing ties.
“Generally speaking, for a father to be so ruthless as to do this, there must be some huge threat that forces him to do it,” Xiao Chen guessed.
"What kind of threat could make a King-level expert so resolute and ruthless?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.
Generally speaking, there shouldn't be anything that can threaten them anymore.
If such a thing exists, it must be something from beyond this world!
"You don't need to waste any more words!" Niu Zheng shouted loudly at the group of elders of the Niu family.
"This matter is now a foregone conclusion!"
The elders of the Niu family all looked grim, furious.
Why is Niu Zheng so stubborn?
"Even if they are expelled, we can just invite them back. This is an exceptionally outstanding bloodline of our Niu family!" someone said indignantly.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and stood up.
"The patriarch is right. This matter is already settled and cannot be reversed."
"I ask everyone present here today to bear witness that from this day forward, my sister Niu Qingqing and I sever all ties with the Niu family and have no further relationship with them!"
The guests all nodded in agreement.
"No!" The elders of the Niu family were struck dumb, finding it hard to accept.
A national-level medical master, comparable to a medical sage, went completely against the Niu family's wishes...
What an enormous loss!
“Niu Xingxing, don’t be impulsive! Things haven’t gotten to this point yet…” they earnestly advised Xiao Chen.
"The Niu family warmly welcomes your return!"
Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent.
What is the purpose of returning?
"I have no sense of belonging to the Niu family, nor do I feel any attachment to them."
The elders of the Niu family looked anxious, but they couldn't say anything.
They were filled with deep regret...
If only I had shown more care for these two siblings, or even just been nicer to them, things wouldn't have turned out this way...
"Alas...it's all our fault for being so short-sighted..." they lamented, beating their chests in regret.
