The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 256
Advertisement
"Oh! Isn't that my nephew Cheng? This is a surprise! Shan and Daiyu, hurry up and go greet your cousin!"
After a few seconds of accepting the surprising alliance that wouldn't have happened if it's in the previous life, it seemed that a surprise Shao Geming and his children has finally notice Shao Cheng's presence.
"Hello, cousin, it's been a while. We will be seeing each other for the past few days, so, please take care of us."
"Hello, Cousin! This is the first time I was able to get close to you! I am really happy! Please take care of us later on!"
"..."
Despite the happy and joyful greeting of the brother and sister, Shao Cheng has remained cold and indifferent, never showing even a simple reaction and completely having a different attitude from how he has responded when facing Shao Wencheng and Shao Biyu.
Nonetheless, the brother and sister have only shown a quick disappointed look before brightening up and displaying the appearance of 'we really tried to get close but our cousin has remained cold and indifferent as usual'.
Which has caused Shao Geming to let out a saddened sigh before comforting the quiet Shao Yin, Su Chunhua, and Yanmei, completely believing how utterly disappointed and saddened they felt toward their heartless third son once more.
"Brothers, and Sister-in-laws, please don't become too sad and disappointed. At least, your third son is slightly showing care and even staying in your presence. It really is difficult to change. Please, don't worry, my children will never give up interacting with their cousin since they really want to get close with him."
While Shao Geming is performing a good brother act and unconsciously creating an image that Shao Cheng was really being heartless while his children are kind and understanding, he has never noticed the unusual atmosphere and strange look flashing in their eyes.

After all, everyone can easily see the obvious cold attitude that Shao Cheng has when it comes to Shao Geming and his children, in which Shao Yin, Chunhua, and Yanmei wouldn't have noticed that there is something wrong about the entire situation if it was in the past.
Particularly when the three of them have already seen and experience the great change of their third son, especially when despite having the same cold and indifferent expression on his face, their third son has been performing the proper etiquette when greeting and answering people.
Only Shao Geming and his children have received Shao Cheng indifferent.
So after witnessing such an obvious difference of attitude, the three of them have a swift change of mentality when observing Shao Geming and his children, along with a bit of doubt being born in their mind while silently questioning if there is something wrong with them.
And during the unusual atmosphere in the entire Guest Hall, Shao Cheng has chosen to pick up the book his younger brother Cai has happily lent for him to read after leaving to meet his friends after lunch was over, completely ignoring the brother and sister that tried to be a 'good and excellent cousin' in his parents and Uncles eyes.
While the moment the father, son, and daughter continue their 'we sincerely care about you guys a lot' performance, Shao Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful if these three people who couldn't even notice the quiet change of atmosphere around them was the people who manage to land the most damage in the Shao Family in the previous life.
… too foolish… how come they look so unwise and unskilled after meeting them again in his new life?
Was it because he has an entirely different mentality along with a deep experience that the danger level he can observe from them is a bit lower?

Despite the skepticism in mind, Shao Cheng has used the rest of the afternoon to show how he has a bad opinion toward Shao Geming and his children while displaying the same kind of cold attitude the original Shao Cheng has done to his family in the past.
Although he honestly felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart after catching a glimpse of the flustered, panic, and fearful emotion that has flash in his parent's eyes after secretly glancing in his direction.
It appeared that the three of them has completely dreaded that he would suddenly turn back to his heartless days, that everything would turn back to the way it was.
However, the result of showing such bad behaviors toward Shao Geming and his children has already provided enough reason for Shao Cheng's parent to unconsciously set up their guard, completely making them warry inside.
And at the same time, there is no need to worry about regrading Shao Wencheng's side because there is Shao Biyu whose eyes have been becoming brighter the longer he acts cold and indifferent to the hypocritical people, completely loving the result of his actions.
So, despite causing his parent to feel bad, Shao Cheng didn't change his decision at all, completely letting them built up a defense toward the people who have completely use and fool them in the previous life.
After all, the painful betrayal of the people they trusted along with sincerely treating them so sincerely is something no one can easily explain in detail.
Shao Cheng has experienced such heartbreaking pain in the previous life, he really doesn't want his family to experience such deep pain but the least he could do is to try on lessening it down because he couldn't change the fact that these three people would one day betray them.
They already started a dangerous move a long time ago, Shao Cheng couldn't do anything about them while he doesn't really want to waste his time trying to make them become good, at least having a conscience.
So, shortly after, night time has once more quickly arrived and Shao Cheng has decided to perform another round of waking up his family regarding the potential betrayal of their supposed close relatives, which his siblings have finally witnessed after returning home.
Although, Shao Cheng's younger sister like always has given him great trouble since she was easily and stupidly influence by the lively Shao Daiyu while being manipulated to once more having a bad attitude toward him.
Well, from that moment on, he has decisively decided to let his younger sister experience the difficulties of life, after all, the cruel reality is the best way to make a person grow up while at the same time, greatly favoring his thoughtful and increasingly adorable younger brother.
However, he was a bit confuse after seeing his two older brothers hooting their younger brother a grudging look, completely having the same appearance as the women who were jealous of another person after they learned that their crush has been taken away, which is really weird and confusing.
Shao Cheng can only label it as his two older brothers having a special personality.
