When he returned to the house, Mother Wang was making tea for Lin Ruoxi to calm her nerves. When she saw Yang Cheng walk in, she tactfully chose to leave and let the young couple talk alone.
Lin Ruoxi's hair that was tied up high was let down. Her soft long hair made her beautiful face look especially tender and beautiful, but her pale and tired face made people feel pity for her.
Seeing Yang Cheng walk in, Lin Ruoxi raised her head with a complicated expression. She didn't ask Yang Cheng how he dealt with Lin Kun, but only laughed bitterly with a bit of self-mockery: "I've been seen as a joke by you. That's right, I have such a father, I have such a laughable family. Do you think I'm very pitiful and pity me … I don't need anyone's cheap and senseless pity, especially yours …"
"Who said I pity you." Yang Cheng sneered, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, and took a drag in enjoyment.
"You're not allowed to smoke in front of me." Lin Ruoxi frowned, and unhappily used her hand to disperse the smoke in front of her.
Yang Cheng turned a deaf ear to her, and laid down on a large sofa to the side. He raised his head and smoked as he said: "I just want to advise you, don't put on such a pitiful look in front of me. At least you know who your parents are, and you've received the love of your elders. Although your home isn't very warm, you have a home. Moreover, you're born beautiful, and you're the center of attention everywhere. You've never had to worry about food or clothing since you were young, and you have a mansion, a sports car, and everything else … You can't possibly understand who your parents are, or where your home is, and what it feels like to have nothing … "
The sudden words stunned Lin Ruoxi. For the first time, Lin Ruoxi looked into Yang Cheng's eyes. That pair of deep eyes revealed sadness and loneliness, causing Lin Ruoxi's heart to involuntarily contract.
Yang Chen didn't stop, and spoke as if he was talking to himself, "I've been alone since I was young. When I was hungry, when I was frozen, when I was bullied, when I was beaten, I was always alone … I had no parents, no family, no brothers and sisters, and even no friends … … In order to survive, I would risk my life for a rotten flatbread. In order to fill my stomach, I would eat grass and tree bark until my stomach bled … … No one would care about your life or death, no one would sympathize with you, because you're just a lowly life abandoned by this world. Even a dog raised by someone else has a much higher status than you … …"
Listening to the man's low and hoarse narration, Lin Ruoxi's eyes reddened again, but not for herself, but for that lowly life.
"I'm sorry." Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and whispered, "I didn't know you had such a hard time when you were young …"
Yang Cheng lowered his head and gradually revealed his usual carefree smile, "Good wife, I made it up, and you believed it."
"You …" Lin Ruoxi raised her head. She was feeling sorry for her, but this scoundrel actually said that it was all made up. She immediately became angry, "How can you be like this!"
"Hehe, look at you. You're much more beautiful when you're angry than when you're crying." Yang Cheng praised.
Lin Ruoxi felt warm in her heart. She understood that Yang Chen was trying to divert her attention so that she wouldn't be sad anymore. However, she couldn't say anything to thank him. She just glanced at Yang Chen as if nothing had happened. "Since you're lying to me, then where are your parents? Although we agreed to get married, if your parents suddenly appear, it's very possible that everything will be disrupted."
Yang Cheng pinched the cigarette butt with two fingers and smiled faintly, "I didn't lie to you just now. I really don't know who my parents are. I was separated from my family before I was five years old. The only name I remember is my name. I'm an orphan."
Hearing Yang Cheng casually say that he was an orphan, Lin Ruoxi's heart felt sour. She suddenly wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to open her mouth. After struggling for a while, she could only nod and no longer speak.
The two were silent for a while. Lin Ruoxi then said, "Yang Cheng, there are some things I want to make clear to you. After all, you signed an agreement with me, so you have the right to know the cause of the matter."
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "You mean your stupid pig father forced you to get married?"
"You're not allowed to say that my father is a stupid pig …" Lin Ruoxi was a little annoyed, "If he is a pig, then I'm also a pig."
"Hehe, my little Ruoxi is so beautiful. Even if she was a pig, she would be a little pink pig."
"You're the pig …" Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes, but she wasn't really angry. She returned to the topic and said, "My father has 30% of the company's shares. He is the second largest shareholder after me, but that's not the point. After all, my grandmother gave me 60% of the company's shares before she passed away. I have absolute power. But … but my father also has the title deed of an old house … "
"Is that old house very important to you?" Yang Cheng was puzzled.
"Very important …" Lin Ruoxi's eyes showed a bit of nostalgia and happiness, "When I was a child, only my grandmother and mother accompanied me. I grew up there. My mother and father had a marriage based on money and benefits. My father doesn't love my mother. He is a playboy, until now … "At this point, Lin Ruoxi's eyes showed a bit of hatred," Although he doesn't come home all day long, he is the owner of the house. Since my grandmother passed away, he doesn't allow me to go home. Also, because I spend most of my money outside, he is ready to sell that house … "
"What does this have to do with our marriage?" Yang Cheng was puzzled.
Lin Ruoxi coldly rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng, "I want to take back that old house from him, but he won't give it to me. I offer a higher price than the market price, but he still won't sell it to me. He only has one condition, and that is for me to marry the young master of the Xu family. He clearly received benefits from the Xu family … "
"I want to force my daughter to marry and use coercion. I don't think he is a stupid pig. A pig is cuter than him." Yang Cheng seriously shook his head.
Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Cheng's sigh and continued: "The Xu family's Xu Zhihong has been pestering me, and I can't go against the Xu family too much. After all, the Xu family is one of the top five families in Zhong Hai. We can't afford to offend them, so …"
"So you want to marry me and get rid of that Xu brat's thoughts. First pass this hurdle, then think of a way to take back the property in your stupid pig father's hands?"
"Yes …" Lin Ruoxi nodded tiredly. Recently, she was also very busy with these things. A young girl in her twenties, the burden on her body was as heavy as a thousand catties.
Yang Cheng sighed: "Sigh, this method of yours is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause. In the end, you still have to face the pressure of the Xu family and your father … that thing that is not a thing."
"I don't care so much. One step at a time is one step at a time …" Although her voice was very soft, Lin Ruoxi's tone was incomparably firm.
Yang Cheng stood up, picked up his new phone, and silently walked out the door.
Lin Ruoxi frowned: "Where are you going?"
"To a bar, to find a woman …" Yang Cheng turned around and said with a serious face.
