Chapter 17 - Volume 1 Chapter 14: Meeting with Grandparents

After 30 minutes they reached the villa area and Lei Feng felt uneasy seeing the villa from the distance.

All those painful memories started resurfacing. He calmed down and raised his head.

Soon the car was at the door. Uncle Fu was there to open the door but he only helped Gu Feitian who without looking back, went inside.

Lei Feng followed him maintaining a certain distance.

Entering the door he saw the whole family in the living room, everyone was sitting except Gu Tianchen who was buttering the old man, and his grandma who was tying something around his neck.

He recognized them at a glance. They were the so-called grandparents who never recognized his identity. Otherwise, who dares to stop him from changing his surname from Lei to Gu.

Sighing, he moved closer and felt like it was more like a 'Feast of Swan Goose Gate'. This prediction was further solidified when he saw a basket full of canes in the corner.

"Grandpa I want the red one, ok?" Gu Tianchen said.

Grandma was still tying something around his neck.

{Old hag was slow.}

"Sure son, Feitian book the car he wants and make sure it's the best. My Grandson only deserves the best." Old Man Gu said with a smile on his face.

By this time Grandma was done and said, "This is ancestral jade of Gu Family passed on for generations. Keep it safe. Okay?'' she kissed his forehead and sat down beside Old Man Xu

Gu Sisters were sitting there with heads down apparently they were shown their places already. They were casting envious gazes while looking at the locket. 

This showed how deeply patriarchal system was rooted in the Gu Family.

Gu Meng was the top scorer in her college entrance exams but when she asked for a car she was scolded by them for reaching out of her limits. The difference was apparent.

Old Man Gu saw Lei Feng and his mood flipped from a happy old man to a demon that could eat the living hell out of him.

"Beast!!! You are finally here. You still have the guts to step in this home?" he said while holding onto his cane tightly as if he would hit him the next second.

"I didn't want to come either. Your son brought me here." Lei Feng said without any emotion.

Zhao Lang was scared watching the expressions on their faces so she picked up one of the sticks intending to hit Lei Feng saying, "Beast!!! They are your grandparents. Have some respect. Have you not caused enough trouble already" With that, she swung the sticks but was easily dodged by Lei Feng.

"You still dare to Hide!!!!" shouted both Old Man Gu and Zhao Lang.

This was just the beginning, "You first stole money from your parent's bedroom, then beat your own brother for his pocket money, did immoral activities outside, even .....even dared to try to kill my grandson!!!!!!!!!!!", by the end he was roaring like a lion.

With that, he picks up his own cane which is made of metal.

Lei Feng saw it incoming and thought, 'If this one hits me, I will definitely lose a bone.'

'System!!!!!!!'

[Ding! Chain Mission issued]

[Penalty: Host loses his ability in 'that' region]

[As an emergency measure System will feed Pain-free pill. The pill will start functioning 30 seconds after taking it.]

{I hope this kid can wake up after this and see the real face of this family otherwise I might have to take strict measures.}

Lei Feng didn't have time to argue and he saw the golden cane moving in this direction like a god splitting the sky.

The aim was his head.

He rolled to the side and Old Man Gu was even angrier.

"Grandpa...." Gu Ling tried to interrupt but Grandma Gu already picked up her cane and shouted "You stay in your place or you will get your share of the beating."

"I will not allow anyone in the family to hurt my obedient and precious grandson" She then looked towards the bodyguards they brought with them and said, "We didn't bring you here to watch the show. Catch this Beast!!!"

Lei Feng knew it was all over. Soon he was held in place and both grandparents took out their anger on his body.

He soon started bleeding heavily. Not uttering a word until they were tired.

(Pain-free medicine started working after the first hit.)

Lei Feng glared at the couple like an injured beast and uttered "You never took me as your grandson, not even allowing me to take your surname. You are so full of this trash you picked up from the road that you can't even see reality."

"It was him who poisoned me and not the other way around."

"If you can't see what is happening in front of you, donate those eyes to someone in need!!"

"You don't have to talk, we already found the Mercury bottle in your room." Zhang Lang added in between.

He looked towards Gu Feitian and said with great anger, "Did you bring me here to meet these two old hags or for a court trial?!!"

"You still dare to quibble?" Old man Gu swung 3 more times, and one of those hit his forehead leaving a bloody trail down his face.

After 5 or so minutes he ran out of breath and ordered, "Put this rebel into confinement and no food for him for today."

Lei Feng was then carried by these burly men to the basement room he used to live in. While he was being dragged away he saw Gu Tianchen smirking at him showing that this was all his plan.

Gu Sisters were looking down not daring to lift their head.

Grandma was standing in front of Zhao Lang showering her with insults on how she raised him.

Closing his eyes he accepted his fate and was thrown in the room like a rag doll.

After 2 hours he finally had the strength to get up. Even though he didn't feel the pain but the injuries were real. Especially ones hit by Grandpa Xu. It hurt to the bone.

He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed the emergency number...
