Insufficient balance

  The second generation of the Xu family spent the whole night discussing how to deal with the impending storm, of course, this had nothing to do with Xu Zilong who was reborn not long ago. This guy lay in bed thinking about what he should do next, obviously bursting Chen Fei's head wasn't the goal, trampling this kid under his feet was the ultimate goal.

  Xu Zilong did not live with his parents, but lived with the old master in Qingfeng Garden. This treatment was unique among the third generation of the Xu family, and it was normal for him to enjoy such treatment as the only legitimate grandson.

  As soon as it got light, Xu Zilong got up and started practicing boxing in the backyard.

  "The sun is rising from the north, Zi Long you lazy bug who doesn't get out of bed until the sun shines on your butt, how come you're up so early today." The old man saw his grandson practicing boxing and was particularly happy in his heart. He himself practiced Tai Chi while saying: "Don't always play with fierce fists and feet, follow Grandpa to learn Tai Chi instead."

  "It's too soft, grandson can't learn."

  "Using softness to overcome hardness, four ounces can move a thousand pounds, you won't understand the secrets of Tai Chi."

  Half an hour later, the old man sat on a rattan chair to rest, and Xu Zilong took the initiative to go forward and massage him.

  "Out with it! What kind of trouble have you gotten into?" The old man knew his grandson all too well. This good-for-nothing who was always getting into mischief wouldn't be so eager to please if nothing was wrong.

  Xu Zilong didn't dare to hide the truth and told Grandfather everything that had happened the night before. Finally, he said: "Grandfather, you don't know that Chen Fei is known as the 'Crazy Young Master'. If I hadn't beaten him up, he would have definitely beaten up Sun Er."

  "You, always so immature, only know how to cause trouble." The old man didn't mean to criticize, he thought for a moment and then said: "For the next few days, don't go anywhere, just stay at home honestly. If you dare to step out of the house even half a step, when your father deals with you, don't come crying to me."

  "Grandpa, then I'll follow grandma to paint for the next few days." Xu Zilong knew that the crisis was over, and as for how to face the blame from the Chen family, that was a problem for the old man to consider and had nothing to do with him.

  Xu Zilong stayed beside his grandmother, painting and telling her about what happened last night.

  "You're such a child, never letting grandma worry, what if you get hurt? From now on, don't dare to fight with others again." The old lady didn't mean to blame her grandson at all. She said meaningfully: "You have the same temperament as your grandfather. If you were born in that era, you would definitely be a general, and who knows, maybe even more accomplished than your grandfather. However, this is a peaceful era, what's needed isn't fighting and killing, but wisdom, tact, connections, and insight. Your father has a soft spot deep down, your uncle loses out for not loving to read books, your aunt is a woman, your uncle lacks tact, and none of them will achieve great things in the future. The third generation only has you as the only male heir, if you can't grow up, after your grandfather passes away, I really don't know where the Xu family will go."

  The old lady's words were tinged with sadness.

  "No way, Grandpa will live forever and enjoy eternal happiness, with a lifespan rivaling that of the heavens." Xu Zilong was so excited that he blurted out the lines from the TV show. He knew what Grandpa's existence meant under the current system.

  "Foolish child, even the great ancestors have passed on, what eternal blessings can this world offer?! The old lady stroked Xu Zilong's head and murmured: "You have knowledge, culture, and a ruthless decisiveness similar to that of an old man, but you're too fond of playing around and causing trouble... otherwise..."

  Xu Zilong had too many secrets in his heart, and he also had too many ideas. He wanted to maintain the prosperity of the Xu family so much that he pulled his grandmother's hand and said firmly: "Grandma, don't worry, I promise from now on I won't be reckless, I will learn from Grandpa, I will make a name for myself within the system, I can definitely do it, I swear."

  "Alright, alright, my grandson will definitely be able to do it. But for the next few days, you'd better behave yourself and avoid getting beaten up by your father." The old lady's face broke out into a relieved smile.
