"You're here?" Yang Jieyu heard the footsteps and stood up with a smile.
"I had a little trouble, but I'm not late." Yang Cheng smiled and sat down.
Yang Jieyu didn't ask any more questions and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Anything!" Yang Cheng said.
Yang Jieyu suggested, "There is Noak here that can't be found anywhere else. Would you like a cup?"
Yang Cheng was stunned. "Is there really Noak?"
"Although it's a little expensive, you saved Xiao Ye. It's not a problem to buy you a cup of coffee." Yang Jieyu smiled.
Yang Cheng waved his hand. "Forget it. I know that kind of coffee, but I probably won't drink it in my life. It's better to make it simple."
"Why? Have you drunk it before?" Yang Jieyu asked doubtfully.
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't you know how Noak Coffee came about?"
"I only know that it is the most expensive coffee in the world. It can reach thousands of dollars per pound. Is there anything special about it?" Yang Jieyu asked.
Yang Chen adjusted his sitting posture, nodded, and said with confidence, "You're right. The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Nouveau is the rarest coffee in existence, and its price can be said to be the gold of coffee. It is produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, and it is a local coffee bean. "
"You seem to know it very well?" Yang Jieyu asked.
Yang Cheng smiled easily. "I went there for a while, and a local friend gave me a small bag. I thought it was very fragrant and liked it very much, but after he told me the process of making the coffee, I returned it to him."
"What's the process?"
"When the coffee berries are ripe, the local farmers will let the only local Palm Cat into the coffee garden. That cat likes to eat coffee beans. When the cat has diarrhea, the local farmers will look for the Palm Cat's feces. They will pick out the undigested coffee beans from the feces. These coffee beans are of the highest quality, and the coffee made from them is called Noak coffee. " Yang Cheng explained, "That's why I say that the most expensive and luxurious coffee in the world is actually cat feces … Isn't it ridiculous? Most people are proud of being able to have a sip of it. Maybe I think differently, but I don't like it."
As expected, Yang Jieyu's expression changed slightly. She covered her mouth and looked at the empty coffee cup. She bitterly smiled and said, "I regret listening to you."
"Sorry, I didn't know you were drinking it." Yang Cheng smiled embarrassedly.
Yang Jieyu called the waiter over and got them two glasses of orange juice. Only then did they feel better.
"I heard from Xiao Ye that you're a Harvard Master's student from abroad. Looks like you're really knowledgeable," Yang Jieyu said calmly.
"It's just so-so. The requirements for a foreign university are actually not high. I can only say that I can graduate just by muddling through." Yang Cheng lied through his teeth.
Yang Jieyu nodded and said, "You're really modest. But based on the way you dealt with those terrorists the other day, you're not as simple as a foreign returnee."
"I learned some martial arts in the past and participated in some military training. I might be better than others, but I'm actually dying and was forced to unleash my potential. It's not that bad," Yang Cheng answered cautiously. He was thinking about the reason why Yang Jieyu asked him to come out today.
Yang Jieyu asked some more about Yang Cheng's experiences abroad. Yang Cheng made up a lot of things and there weren't any flaws.
"Yang Cheng, you're a very good young man. Our Yuan Ye lacks friends like you. I wonder if you have any family members? Why don't you come to our house together next time? "Yang Jieyu smiled and invited.
Yang Cheng said without changing his expression, "No need, I'm alone. My adoptive parents have passed away."
"Your adoptive parents? Then what about your biological parents? "Yang Jieyu stared at Yang Cheng with a burning gaze.
Yang Cheng sighed and said with a faint smile, "I don't know. I was adopted when I was very young. I don't know who my biological parents are."
Yang Jieyu's eyes flashed with a strange light as she said with a sad expression, "I'm sorry. It must have been hard for you to be alone for so many years."
"If it's because I don't have parents, then I don't think so. I'm already used to being alone. It's good like this." Yang Cheng said without any expression.
Yang Jieyu's face froze, but she still forced a smile and nodded her head, "I see … That's right. It's wrong for parents to abandon such a young child."
"I don't think they're still in this world!" Yang Cheng said.
Yang Jieyu was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
"If they're still in this world, then it's hard for me to understand why they still have the face to live." Yang Cheng said as he picked up the juice and gulped it down.
Seeing that Yang Cheng stood up, Yang Jieyu anxiously said, "Perhaps your parents have their own difficulties?"
"Hmph." Yang Cheng chuckled, "Perhaps. But it doesn't matter to me anymore. I still have to go to work in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave first. "
Yang Jieyu wanted to urge him to stay, but Yang Cheng had already walked out of the door. She could only helplessly return to her seat.
Not long after Yang Cheng left, a handsome man wearing a suit walked out from another seat that was blocked. He had a deep gaze and a meticulous military temperament. He came to the seat opposite Yang Jieyu, where Yang Cheng was originally sitting.
Yang Jieyu raised her head and smiled at the man, "Brother, he really looks like you when you were young. Whether it's the way he speaks or the way he looks."
The man sat with his back straight, his face expressionless. "Jie Yu, let's pretend today's matter never happened. Don't get close to him in the future. "
"Why?" Yang Jieyu asked puzzledly, "Because we abandoned Yang Cheng that year. Sister-in-law hasn't been happy ever since she married into our family. Brother, don't you want your family to be complete? He's your and sister-in-law's flesh and blood! There was no news of him in the past. But now he's clearly in front of you and has become so outstanding. Why don't you want to acknowledge him? "
"It's because he suddenly appeared, and according to what you said, he's become an extraordinary person. That's why we have to pay more attention to him. Our Yang Family isn't an ordinary family. This year and next year will be an important time for the transition. Whether it's the family's conduct or the family's conduct, it must be watertight. We can't let our competitors have any chance to take advantage of us! If we suddenly have a son, it will definitely bring about a huge negative impact. "The man said solemnly.
"Brother! Is an official position more important than your own flesh and blood?! "Yang Jieyu said agitatedly.
"Jieyu! You're the eldest daughter of our Yang Family. Don't you even have this bit of propriety!? I have to consider the entire family and all those who are under the banner of our Yang Family. If we fall, then it will collapse a thousand miles away! At this time, how can I make another mistake for a mistake that I made more than twenty years ago!? "The man said.
"Mistake? That's the mistake that big brother made. Why should the child bear it!? " Yang Jieyu said with tears in her eyes, "Every time I see Yang Cheng's face, it's like seeing big brother when you were young. He's more easy-going, humble, and kind than big brother. Don't you feel guilty when you see him?"
The man took a deep breath and said with a cold expression, "Jieyu, those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. Our Yang Family has always been strict and upright since the founding of our country. The reason why we can be like this is because the things we've given up are far beyond what others can imagine. You don't need to persuade me anymore. You're not allowed to mention this matter to your sister-in-law. The successor of our Yang Family only needs a clean and innocent child! "
"Haha, clean and innocent …" Yang Jieyu sneered and stood up, "Clean and innocent on the surface can only make people feel how dirty their hearts are! Yang Pojun, I'm really disappointed in you! "
After saying that, Yang Jieyu turned around and was about to leave.
"Yang Jieyu! Do you want to rebel!? "Yang Pojun said angrily.
Yang Jieyu stopped abruptly and said without turning her head, "Don't worry, I'll pretend that nothing happened. I won't affect Big Brother's great future. This is your sin, and you'll regret it one day …"
After saying that, Yang Jieyu quickly left the coffee shop.
Yang Pojun sat in his seat with a sullen face. His expression kept changing, and his eyes faintly showed all kinds of past events.
Time was like a yellowed piece of paper, flipping to twenty years ago …
On a snowy night, a military jeep stopped in front of an orphanage in a small town in the north of Hua Xia.
A couple wrapped in military coats handed a sleeping child of two to three years old to the arms of an old woman.
The child was sleeping soundly. On a windy night, the child was curled up in a fluffy blanket. In the warmth, the sobbing of the young woman could not be heard.
After the old woman received a heavy envelope, she smiled flatteringly and hugged the child. Then she turned around and returned to the orphanage.
The young couple watched the woman carry their child back to the courtyard. Then they reluctantly got into the car and left in the snowy night with difficulty.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
When the couple came to the orphanage again, they were surprised to find that the remote courtyard had been demolished.
There was no news of the children here. They didn't even leave any contact information. It was as if these people had disappeared into thin air.
The young woman held her slightly bulging abdomen and leaned into her husband's arms. She cried until she fainted …
Yang Cheng, who was walking out of the coffee shop and heading back to Yu Lei, was completely unaware of all this. The emotions that Yang Jieyu had revealed to him at the end made him feel very uncomfortable. Even though he had experienced so many storms, anything that involved some of the fragmented memories of his childhood would always make it difficult for Yang Cheng to calm down.
Just as he was walking absentmindedly, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated because his pants pocket was torn.
Yang Cheng took it out and was slightly surprised. It turned out to be Lin Ruoxi calling him.
If Lin Ruoxi took the initiative to call him, there must be something to tell him. Yang Cheng smiled and picked up the phone.
