The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 120

[Chapter 120 Seeking Peace]

On a carriage at the intersection, Wang He closed the curtain and sat back in the carriage.

“I don’t know where this useless Lin Tian got the news, but he actually let him expose the Ma family’s rebellion and destroy the Tianlang Gang. It must be his father who helped him. What big things can this useless person do? These fools are so happy to be deceived. It’s ridiculous!”

Wang He said nonchalantly, but his tone revealed unwillingness and a trace of envy and jealousy.

Lin Tian is fine now, but he is scolded at home all day long, and even has to be controlled when he goes out!

“Let’s go back to the mansion!”

Wang He kicked the servant angrily. He didn’t like anyone at this time.

“Yes, young master.”

The servant bent over and didn’t dare to speak. Even if it hurt, he had to endure it.

Who made him a servant?

At night, in the Ouyang Mansion in the east of the city, a family servant trotted in and leaned over to whisper in the ear of the head of the Ouyang family.

“Master, the young master…”

As the head of the Ouyang family listened, his face darkened.

“This idiot, he went to Qinglou to drink with his group of friends, find some people to drag him back, he is so shameful!” The head of the Ouyang family said angrily but indignantly.

After a while, two servants carried a drunkard in, and threw him on a chair and helped him sit up.

The head of the Ouyang family was even more angry when he saw his son like this.

“How could my Ouyang family have a son like you? I am really disappointed!”

“Do you want to end up like Ma Zhuowen of the Ma family, a useless person who can’t even be beheaded in the autumn?”

The head of the Ouyang family cursed in a very anxious and angry tone, but Ouyang Haowen was not conscious at this time, and he burped from time to time.

Seeing this, the head of the Ouyang family became even more angry, and he waved his sleeves and shouted outside the door.

“Come here, please use the family law to drag him to the ancestral hall.”

After hearing this, the two servants at the door carried the drunk man to the ancestral hall where the Ouyang family enshrined the ancestral tablets, and the head of the Ouyang family followed closely behind.

The servants put the drunk Ouyang Haowen on the ground and made him kneel. The head of the Ouyang family picked up a ruler in front of the tablet.

At this time, Ouyang Haowen raised his head in a daze and looked forward. He saw a candlelight shining behind him and an old man holding a ruler in his hand. He was

suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. When he woke up, he saw clearly that it was his father who wanted to beat him, and he quickly begged for mercy.

“Dad, I know I was wrong, don’t hit me!”

“You prodigal son, you spend your days drinking and having fun, and you don’t do good things. Do you want to be like Ma Zhuowen, suffering from illness and dying a miserable death?”

“Look at Lin Tian from the Lin family, who broke into the bandit’s den alone and destroyed the Tianlang Gang, and exposed the Ma family’s rebellion, and was loved by the people. That’s the people’s hearts!”

The head of the Ouyang family said while beating Ouyang Haowen with a ruler, making Ouyang Haowen cry.

“The Lin family is popular, but the Ma family is gone now, and the position of governor is vacant. If Lin Zuhua becomes the governor again, how can we survive!”

“I’ll beat you to death, you useless guy!”

The head of the Ouyang family has been very worried these days. Lin Tian’s movement was too big, and he had to make a response.

But Ouyang Haowen only knew how to stir up trouble, and he didn’t look like he was working hard before!

This made him disappointed and angry. The more he scolded, the angrier he became, and the more strength he had in his hands. Just

as the ruler was about to fall, a woman in green ran in and stopped him.

“Ouyang Chengping, I only have this one son. What if he gets hurt?”

Madam Ouyang shouted at the head of the Ouyang family while observing Ouyang Haowen’s condition.

“Son, are you okay? Does it hurt?”

Madam Ouyang was very distressed and hugged Ouyang Haowen to prevent the head of the Ouyang family from doing it.

“It’s all because you spoiled him. Look at how he doesn’t live up to expectations.” Ouyang Chengping threw the ruler on the ground and walked out of the ancestral hall angrily.

This also gave Ouyang Haowen a way out. Although he was angry, he was only angry at his lack of resistance.

After all, this was his own son. Just teach him a lesson, and he would be soft-hearted.

The next day, Ouyang Chengping sat in the hall early in the morning and asked someone to wake up Ouyang Haowen.

“Dad, what’s the matter with waking me up so early?”

Ouyang Haowen rubbed his eyes and asked in a dazed tone.

He came back drunk last night and was whipped a few times. He didn’t fall asleep until very late.

“Accompany me to the Lin family. Since you are not motivated, you can only rely on the Lin family.”

Ouyang Chengping said with a serious face, but helpless.

“Isn’t Lin Tian a waste? Why should you rely on his family? I won’t go. If you want to go, go by yourself.” When Ouyang Haowen heard that he had to be humble to please Lin Tian, he instantly became unhappy and turned around to go back to his room.

“Are you going or not!”

Ouyang Chengping’s face turned black. Ouyang Haowen was immediately scared and quickly agreed.

Seeing that Ouyang Haowen agreed to go together, Ouyang Chengping ordered the servants to prepare the carriage.

“When we go to the Lin family later, you have to be more respectful. The Lin family is no longer what it used to be!”

In the carriage, Ouyang Chengping did not forget to warn Ouyang Haowen that if he offended the Lin family now, how could his Ouyang family survive in Liangzhou City!

“I know, I know!”

Ouyang Haowen looked at his father’s attitude and could only agree to avoid having his pocket money deducted.

Soon the two arrived at the door of the Lin family.

“Master Ouyang, please come in.”

The servant opened the door and let Ouyang Chengping and the two in, and the servants of the Ouyang family waited outside.

“Master Lin, long time no see, you are more handsome and unrestrained!”

Ouyang Chengping smiled and said calmly when he saw Lin Tian, without any seriousness towards Ouyang Haowen.

“My nephew didn’t know that Uncle Ouyang was coming, I am sorry for not welcoming you, please sit down and have some tea!”

Lin Tian saw that Ouyang Chengping was very polite, and he also responded politely.

As for Ouyang Haowen on the side, he glanced at him and ignored him. This kid was thinking about his fiancée, so there was no need to treat him well.

“I don’t know why the uncle came to see my father. It’s such a coincidence that my father went out very early this morning. If you have anything to say, please tell me, nephew, to pass it on.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I came here today mainly to see you, my nephew.”

Ouyang Chengping explained slowly.

“Looking for me? I don’t know what the uncle wants to see me for?”

Hearing that Ouyang Chengping was looking for him, he asked in confusion.

Ouyang Chengping suddenly brought Ouyang Haowen to see him. I don’t know if there is any conspiracy. Lin Tian raised his vigilance in his heart.

“I came here mainly to thank you, nephew, for the tips you gave me, but you saved my Ouyang family’s life!”

Ouyang Chengping said while drinking the tea brought by the maid.

“My son has offended me before, nephew, please don’t take it to heart and don’t affect the relationship between our two families!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s all trivial matters. Brother Ouyang is young and hot-tempered, I can understand.”

Lin Tian replied with a slightly sarcastic but polite tone.
