Chapter 005: The Disruption of White's Schemes

Time passed slowly in the anxious anticipation of the Golden Dragon. Every day, he hid in his room, sorting through his belongings, deciding what to take to the Southern and Northern Gates and what to reluctantly leave behind. By the night of the eighth day of the ninth month, he finally packed his bags neatly and made the final preparations for departure

At this point, she disregarded the objections of the Golden Dragon and joyfully ran out the door

"Huh..." The Golden Dragon, exhausted, rubbed his face vigorously. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "How about this, Second Brother? I will go study abroad first and check the environment over there. If there are indeed people who understand you, I will come back to bring you along, so you won't make a trip for nothing, alright?"

"It's nothing, child. I have plenty of skills. When the time comes, I will seek a position in the kitchen of the academy and become their chef. That will work just fine!" Mr. Huang said excitedly

As soon as he stepped out, Huang's mother had already entered the door

"In this way, father, I will first inquire about it for you. If this good news is indeed true, I will notify you immediately. At that time, I will come to take you there. What do you think?" Huang Jinlong advised.

"Because children are born of women, not men, you fool!" After saying this, Huang Jinlong shook his head helplessly and rushed past him, unable to bear looking at his disappointed horse-like face

"Alright, brother, you must remember to conduct a thorough inspection. My future depends on you." Huang Erdi patted Huang Jinlong's face vigorously, laughing excitedly like a little chick, and swayed as he walked out the door

Oh... the Imperial Academy funded by the national government..." Huang's mother immediately displayed a bright and radiant expression.

Just now, a fellow named Bai Suanji told me that you are planning to run away from home?" Father Huang asked

Good, child, you are truly promising, I am counting on you, waiting for your good news! Father Huang, overjoyed, patted Huang Jinlong's head vigorously and walked out the door with delight

I can no longer tolerate your mother, sigh. Not only is she jealous, but she also gives me orders and does not treat me like a person. Every time we meet, we argue, and the daily bickering is driving me crazy. To be honest, son, if it weren't for you and your younger brother over the years, I would have divorced her long ago. " Father Huang said with a dismissive gesture, full of bravado.

"Brother, I heard you are planning to run away from home?" As soon as Mother Huang went out, Huang Erdi rushed into the room of the Golden Dragon.

"Brother, what is it that I find difficult to understand? You understand me so well!" Huang Erdi smiled at him charmingly

The government-funded academy, haha, that's wonderful, my son, do you know what this means?" Huang's mother asked, "This means a lifetime exemption from taxes. Child, take our specialty snacks from Yanque Tower and see if there is an opportunity to open a snack shop in the academy. If Yanque Tower has a tax-exempt branch in the academy, that would be pure profit, and the business would definitely multiply tenfold. We will be prosperous! We will be prosperous! I will immediately ask the kitchen to prepare the snacks, and you must bring them with you when you set off, understand?

Mother, how could I possibly run away from home? I have the opportunity to study abroad, funded by the government for higher education; such an opportunity is rare.

"Young Master, isn't this unwise of you? Once you leave, the one inheriting the Yanque Tower will be me, Bai Suanji," Bai Suanji said with a sense of triumph.

He had just returned to his room when Mr. Huang knocked on the door and entered.

"On what basis?" Bai Suanji questioned with confidence.

"You tell your mother, is this true?" Huang's mother asked, hands on her hips

Ah? What?! The golden dragon opened its mouth wide

"Who told you?" Huang Jinlong was taken aback

Father, I deeply sympathize with your sacrifice. However, if you come with me, we both need to have food to eat. I am going to study, and the academy provides meals, but what will you do?

What? Did he tell you?

Ah? The Golden Dragon cannot keep up with his train of thought

Indeed. After he finished speaking, he mumbled something about how if you wish him misfortune, he will make you unhappy. This guy is truly peculiar. After Mr. Huang finished speaking, he seemed puzzled, lost in thought for a moment, and then said, "Son, if you decide to run away from home, I will go with you."

Father, are you looking for me?" Huang Jinlong quickly shoved his package aside.

"You still don't know? Your mother and my father once had a past relationship. Who I am the son of, no one knows. Which of us is truly the master of Yanque Tower is still uncertain." Bai Suanji sneered and said, "You leave, and my only competitor disappears. Shouldn't Yanque Tower rightfully belong to me?"

"It has nothing to do with you, understand?" Huang Jinlong said impatiently

"Young Master, you wish to run away from home, don't you?" The speaker was Bai Suanji, the apprentice manager in the restaurant and the son of the late second manager.

"It's not about you." Huang Jinlong sighed, pressing his forehead, "If my mother had an affair with your father, then I could possibly be your father's son, but you cannot be my mother's son, understand"

I want to kill him!" The Golden Dragon exclaimed angrily.

However, on this day, he unexpectedly encountered the person he least wanted to see at the restaurant.

Uh, the Golden Dragon was stunned for a long time, finally opening his mouth to ask, "Second brother, have you never considered that it might be difficult for you to understand yourself?"

"Son, Bai Suanji told me that you want to run away from home?" Mother Huang asked in astonishment

"You think I don't know that you are quietly packing things every day?" Bai Suanji said coldly, crossing her arms.

"Yes, that's what Bai Suanji said. Brother, I want to go with you; I don't want to stay at home anymore. The people here don't understand me. I want to go to a world that understands and cares for me. Please take me with you!" Huang Erdi said excitedly

Sigh. After Huang Erdi walked out the door, Huang Jinlong let out a long sigh, collapsing weakly onto the bed, murmuring the name that made his teeth grind with hatred, "Bai—scheming!"

"You know too?" the Golden Dragon asked, almost collapsing onto the bed, his eyes vacant.

"Not good, not good, not good, not good!" Upon seeing the expression on Huang Mu's face, Huang Jinlong immediately felt distressed. Whenever Huang Mu displayed this expression, it meant she was about to come up with some fanciful idea
