Yang Cheng quickly changed the topic and said with a smile, "Of course, if you don't agree, we can discuss it …"
"I agree, of course I agree," Lin Ruoxi said expressionlessly, "Go ahead. Anyway, we're a widow. We won't starve to death without you and can't find our way. At most, I'll tell Lanlan that your father has to accompany other aunties and can't accompany you."
Yang Cheng pulled a long face and smiled bitterly, "Wife, how can you teach your child like this? The chubby girl will misunderstand."
"This isn't a misunderstanding. You're going to accompany another woman!" Lin Ruoxi said straightforwardly.
Yang Cheng didn't dare to look at the woman and scratched his head, "You don't know, many old friends in Sicily also want me to go and have a look. I can't be too cold to so many old friends' hearts, can I? Just give me a week's time. I'll come back when I'm done with my work. "
Lin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes, "Why can Qiangwei and sister Cai Ning go, but Lanlan and I can't?"
Yang Cheng quickly waved his hand, "That won't do. Sicily is mainly a mercenary convention that focuses on fighting. It's not like you don't know Lanlan's temper. There are fierce and aggressive people everywhere. If she goes, she'll definitely cause a lot of trouble."
When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she understood Yang Cheng's meaning. Her heart calmed down a little, but she was still very unhappy.
Yang Cheng looked at the woman's slightly pouting face and knew that he was about to be convinced. Just as he was about to say a few nice words, his phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw that it was Guo Xuehua.
Yang Cheng picked up the phone, "Hello, mom, what's wrong?"
Lin Ruoxi heard that it was her mother-in-law and listened attentively.
After a while, Yang Cheng's face turned a little ugly. After a few words, he hung up the phone.
"Why did I hear that it's about Yang Lie?" Lin Ruoxi asked worriedly.
Yang Cheng didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "Mom said that Yang Lie has returned to the Yang Family. He said that he wants to turn over a new leaf and has re-entered the military. The old man wants us to go to Beijing earlier in January. We will have a lot of things to do before and after the New Year."
"Then … what do you mean? You're not really going to kill Yang Lie, are you?" Lin Ruoxi looked at the man nervously.
Yang Cheng was silent. In his heart, he was not as determined to kill Yang Lie as before. Firstly, he didn't care much about Yang Lie as he had grown up. Secondly, he cared more about this family, so he didn't want to make a big fuss.
However, faintly, Yang Cheng felt that Yang Lie's sudden return this time was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
After a deep sigh, Yang Cheng said, "Let's talk about it when we get back to Beijing. I have to see what tricks he is playing. If he really knows his place, I won't bother to kill him. At least, I can't let Lanlan know when she grows up that her father killed her blood-related brother, right?"
Lin Ruoxi finally heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "It seems that my husband has matured a lot."
Yang Cheng blushed and felt a little embarrassed. However, his mentality had indeed changed since he got married and had a daughter. He chuckled and said, "Let's go back to the topic just now. My dear, do me a favor and give me a few days off. I'll definitely rush back and bring Lanlan back to Beijing. You guys can play however you want, okay?"
Lin Ruoxi knew that she couldn't stop him even if she tried, so she rolled her eyes at him and nodded. However, she warned, "If you dare to stand us up, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
Yang Cheng agreed immediately. He thought that if the conference wasn't over, he would have to come back even if he had to blow up the venue!
In the next few days, Yu Lei International's handover work was completed smoothly. Xue Minghe arranged everything orderly as soon as he took office.
The director position of the entertainment company that Yang Cheng was originally in was taken over by Zhao Teng. After all, Yang Cheng wouldn't have much time to manage it in the future.
Once Lin Ruoxi stepped down, she put more energy into cultivation and accompanying her daughter. Mother Wang, on the other hand, was more cheerful at home. To her, it was like watching her daughter and granddaughter together every day.
From time to time, Hsiao Chih-ching, Li Jingjing, Choi Yeon, Anxin, and the other ladies who were more leisurely would also come over to sit and play mahjong. The atmosphere was getting more and more lively.
When Anxin learned that Lin Ruoxi resigned, she was also thinking about finding a successor to manage Madam An. However, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find anyone reliable and could only give up for the time being.
Only the nanny, Minjuan, was a little worried about being fired. After all, Lanlan didn't need her nanny to take care of her anymore. Fortunately, Mother Wang kept her as a helper at home so that Minjuan could take care of Anxin.
After guiding the women for a few days, Yang Cheng rushed to the Mediterranean Sea base as promised. Qiangwei and Cai Ning had been waiting for a week. In another day, the Caesar Conference would be held.
During these days living on the island, apart from focusing on cultivation, Qiangwei and Cai Ning also mingled with the residents on the island.
Although they often didn't speak the same language, the two women's memory was extraordinary after they entered the Soul Forming Stage, so it was naturally a piece of cake for them to learn the language.
In particular, most of the residents on the island were gray people who retired from the special forces, mercenaries, and ZERO. This made Qiangwei and Cai Ning feel that they could find a common language.
The two women's superb skills also made the children on the island who loved fighting and other activities especially fond of them. Giving guidance to the children also became an interesting activity.
All in all, the two women were a little reluctant to let them go now.
And as the "absolute" "tour guide" of this trip to Sicily, Old Ron naturally did all the preparations without hesitation.
On the day Yang Cheng arrived, a luxurious private plane had already been prepared, waiting for Yang Cheng and the two women to set off.
It was only about half an hour's journey from the Forgotten Kingdom to Sicily, which could be said to be a blink of an eye. However, after all, it was an entertainment-oriented trip, so Ron still paid great attention to quality.
As the most densely populated island in the Mediterranean, Sicily was located in the southwest of the Apennine Peninsula.
Historically, the ancient Greeks, the Roman Empire, the Byzantines, the Normans, and so on all ruled this island. With the division of the Kingdom of Sicily, the Spanish moved into the island, and later, the Kingdom of Italy took over Sicily. Now, Sicily had gained autonomy.
This island was often known to the world, largely because the Italian Mafia was everywhere on this island.
The Mafia families formed a "shadow government". They were almost parallel to the regular government, and their minions controlled the entire island under their own banner.
Here, the law was empty and pale. The Mafia's profiteering law and network of interests were the most reliable guarantee.
Old man Ron's Constantine family was one of the oldest and most powerful families in the Italian Mafia family.
However, Ron had been the head of the family for many years. Although he was still the most senior in the family, the old man did not take the Mafia background seriously.
On the plane, Cai Ning and Qiangwei were fascinated by Ron's talk about the various local customs, but they were more curious about the Mafia Alliance.
"Mr. Ron, I heard from the people on the island that you are also the honorary president of the Mafia Alliance for life? Tell us how you became it, it seems very powerful. "Qiangwei sincerely wanted to ask clearly. Her Red Thorns Society was nothing in front of the Italian Mafia family. It was too amateur! They were a mafia with a history of hundreds of years!
Ron looked very calm and didn't think much of it. He chuckled and said, "Madam Qiangwei, all of this is due to the great His Majesty Pluto. In fact, if it weren't for His Majesty Pluto's help, our Mafia might have disappeared from Sicily."
"Hubby? What did he do? "Cai Ning asked curiously. Ron sighed," Madams, in fact, these old families in our Mafia Alliance have gradually declined in recent decades. After all, the scope of our activities is still too small, and most of the world does not tolerate our existence.
Back then, the Italian government found the right opportunity and joined forces with France and Britain to send many special forces to land on the beach to fight, wanting to annihilate the main force of our Mafia family in one fell swoop. Although we received the news, it was still difficult to resist their surging firepower.
You should know that when the national machine is forced to operate, some of the usual concerns are no longer a problem. "
"But just as our main force was about to be defeated due to a lack of ammunition and personnel, His Majesty Pluto suddenly appeared!"
Ron's pair of old eyes bloomed with a glimmer of light, "I still remember in my dreams that His Majesty Pluto broke several steel guns in front of us in a hail of bullets, overturned a few armored vehicles, and directly rushed into the rear of the British army and twisted the head of their commander with one hand …
That kind of figure made us old fellows' blood surge, not to mention the fanatical worship of those young people …
At that time, because I happened to be the president of the Alliance and successfully survived such a crisis, I was lucky enough to get the title of honorary president … "
Qiangwei and Cai Ning's beautiful eyes lit up, and they looked at Yang Cheng with surging emotions. However, the latter was holding a toothpick in both hands, constantly poking the tropical fruits in the fruit plate and sending them to his mouth.
Being stared at by the two women like this, Yang Cheng subconsciously poked two pieces of dragon fruit and sent them to the two women's mouths. He asked with a silly smile, "Do you want to eat?"
Qiangwei and Cai Ning suddenly felt that the difference between reality and imagination was indeed a little too big …
