Cai Zhiheng felt so exhausted. He hadn’t eaten properly on the train, and when he arrived in Beijing, he was left eating the cold air.

Poor Cai Zhiheng was worn out, not to mention he was carrying big bags of luggage.

Cai Weitao and Cai Zetao turned to see the way Cai Zhiheng was walking, with all sorts of effort.

"Hey, grandpa, hurry up."

"Yeah, we need to find Uncle."

"I heard he’s living in a big traditional courtyard house."

"I heard the food is really good there."

Cai Guoqing had always been one to eat and then sleep. Over the years, he hadn’t gone out to work, just staying home all day, leaving him lacking energy. Although he looked fat, he was actually quite weak.

Cai Zhiheng felt irritated and thought if they thought he was slow, why didn’t they help carry some things?

"Why don’t you guys help me carry something?"

Cai Weitao and Cai Zetao obviously didn’t want to do such work.

"Grandpa, didn’t you say we’re still kids and shouldn’t carry heavy stuff?"

"Exactly, or else we won’t grow tall, grandpa."

The two brothers regretted that they hadn’t grown tall, otherwise, they’d look impressive walking around.

"Grandpa, you can call Dad. My dad is already so fat." Cai Zetao looked at the chubby Cai Guoqing ahead with disdain.

Cai Zetao really resented it. Why was he the son of Cai Guoqing? It would be so much better if he were Cai Ming’s son.

Having such a wealthy father, Cai Weitao truly regretted it.

Had he known this uncle would become so successful, he wouldn’t have mocked him when he returned and would have slowly built a relationship with him.

But now, no matter how much they regretted it, it was all in the past.

Asking Cai Guoqing to do work, watching him wobble as he walked ahead, how could Cai Zhiheng say anything?

He knew his son; even though he looked fat, he was like a hollow turnip—not reliable for work.

The number one priority son couldn’t work, and the number two grandsons were the future of the Cai Family, so they couldn’t be overburdened.

Thinking it over, the old man picked a candidate, "Wang Jing, come here and do the work."

"I’ve never seen a daughter-in-law as lazy as you." Cai Zhiheng said with a harsh attitude.

Wang Jing didn’t want to, but she knew offending Cai Zhiheng would make it hard for them to live in the big house owned by Cai Ming.

Wang Jing kept muttering to herself. Cai Guoqing didn’t want to deal with them, but then thought it was better to help so she wouldn’t be unhappy.

When the wife is unhappy, she’ll impose all sorts of restrictions, saying this and that are not allowed.

After thinking about it, Cai Guoqing said, "Dad, I’m tired, I can’t walk anymore."

Wang Jing immediately jumped in, "Dad, I need to support Guoqing."

How could Cai Zhiheng not see that Wang Jing just wanted to avoid work, but what could he do?

Expose her? If it were just Wang Jing, he wouldn’t mind harshly scolding her.

But with Cai Guoqing around, Cai Zhiheng couldn’t do that, and instead had to speak gently.

Helpless, the elderly couple carried large bags of luggage on their backs, walking behind, while the four people in front looked relaxed, attracting lots of pointing and gossip.

Cai Guoqing ignored it. He had seen those looks many times before—if he cared, he wouldn’t know what to do.

Although Cai Weitao and the others were a bit flustered earlier, now they were used to the unfriendly gazes around them.

The two brothers were naturally unreserved in retaliating against them.

There were some righteous people wanting to stand up for Cai Zhiheng, but seeing the old man himself disagree with them and insinuate they were meddling roadsters,

"You’re just idling around doing nothing." Cai Zhiheng fumed.

"Alright, don’t meddle."

"Exactly, doing good deeds gets you nowhere."

Cai Zhiheng carried the heavy luggage, trudging on step by step behind Cai Guoqing.

Some saw something amiss and wanted to point it out, but they were deterred by Cai Zhiheng’s aggressive demeanor from earlier.

Cai Guoqing wasn’t bothered by the words of many people. To him, he had heard such things countless times in his life.

No matter what they said, his life went on just fine.

Cai Guoqing wasn’t without worries. He wondered what to do when his parents passed. He didn’t expect his younger brother to emerge as a wealthy man.

If he hadn’t worried that Cai Ming wouldn’t pay him any mind, he would’ve rushed to Beijing as soon as he got the news.

He couldn’t understand why, when in Beijing, he couldn’t lay his hands on new and good things.

After asking countless times, just before nightfall, they finally reached the address where Cai Ming was. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Staring at the imposing gates, Cai Guoqing was dumbfounded.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself earlier, he hadn’t imagined his younger brother lived in such a splendid house.

At that moment, Cai Guoqing’s face fell.

Cai Zhiheng was also stunned, knowing his son would achieve something, but not expecting it to be this great.

The group remained at the door for a long time. If Cai Weitao hadn’t spoken up about being hungry, they would’ve kept staring at the gate for a while longer.

"Who are you looking for?" After Cai Weitao knocked on the door for a good while, someone finally came to open it, irritating Cai Weitao.

He was determined that once he met Uncle, he’d definitely report this slow-poke and have them fired.

"My uncle is Cai Ming," Cai Weitao said proudly. "Let us in."

"Sorry, I don’t know you," Gao Dalin had received calls a few days before and wasn’t surprised by people claiming to be Cai Ming’s relatives.

"Just let my uncle come out." Cai Weitao tried his best to keep calm. As much as he wanted to lose his temper, he needed to see Cai Ming first.

Gao Dalin shook his head, "Sorry, not at home."

Not at home? "Well, is my aunt home, Cai Meina?" Cai Weitao was taken aback but didn’t think much of it, assuming they were out on business.

"None of them are home. They’ve all gone out of town for the holidays," Gao Dalin said impatiently.

They’ve all gone out of town for the holidays? Cai Weitao was stunned.

Standing around waiting in impatience, Cai Guoqing heard that Cai Ming and the others weren’t there, and he was dumbfounded too.

"Let us in." Cai Guoqing insisted; they didn’t have much money for this trip to Beijing. Without a place to stay, what would they do?

Cai Guoqing tried to force the door open, but Gao Dalin was no pushover, and even ten years younger, Cai Guoqing couldn’t match up to him.

Gao Dalin held the door with his foot, preventing Cai Guoqing from pushing it open in the slightest.

Other than cursing, what could Cai Guoqing do? Except for drawing a crowd, there was no real help.

Gao Dalin didn’t want to deal with him. The man truly lacked manners, but he couldn’t tarnish his boss’s name.

"I don’t know you, and I don’t recognize you. Just because you say you’re Mr. Cai’s brother, I can’t let you in," Gao Dalin feigned a pained expression.

Not knowing the situation, people around nodded one by one, agreeing with Gao Dalin’s actions.
