Early the next morning, Yang Chen's phone vibrated when the sun rose.
Yang Cheng was hugging Qiangwei as they lay under the warm blanket. He took the phone and glanced at it. The number seemed familiar.
The moment he picked up the phone, a voice Yang Cheng didn't want to hear even if it killed him.
"Look at the time! Are you still sleeping?! "
It was Abbess Yun Miao, the old Daoist nun!
Yang Cheng let out a long sigh and yawned. "Abbess, can't you look at the time? It's only six in the morning. It'll take me an hour to get to work."
"Hmph, when I was your age, I'd wake up before five to train. By this time, I'd be carrying two buckets of water from the foot of the mountain to the top!"
"Abbess, that's the Shaolin Temple, right? Do you Emei women do that too?" Yang Cheng asked, annoyed.
"Shut up! I'm talking about serious business! "
Yang Cheng woke up from his drowsiness. The nun's voice was a little too loud. Even Qiangwei, who was woken up, had a terrified but cute expression on her face.
"Then tell me what serious business you have!" Yang Cheng said helplessly.
Abbess Yun Miao snorted and suddenly asked, "How's Hui Lin doing? Is she getting used to living at your place?"
"Hui Lin?" Yang Cheng asked curiously. "What do you mean by coming to my place? Is she here?"
Abbess Yun Miao shouted, "What?! You don't know that she's in Zhonghai? She didn't contact you yesterday?! Her train arrived in the afternoon! "
Yang Cheng was stunned. Didn't she say that she would call him when she arrived? She didn't even contact him. How would he know if the nun had arrived?
"Abbess, I really don't know. She didn't call me. Did you remember wrongly?"
"I personally sent her on the train. How could I remember wrongly? This is the first time she left me alone. Could she have gotten lost? That's not right. I gave her my phone. If she has any problems, she can call you. " Abbess Yun Miao said anxiously, "Go to the train station immediately and look around. You must find my granddaughter. If anything happens to her, I'll make you return my precious granddaughter even if I have to risk my life!"
Damn it, this has nothing to do with me! How would I know when your granddaughter arrived!? What could possibly happen to a living person who knew martial arts!?
Yang Cheng was at a loss, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense with this old Daoist nun who didn't have the nourishment of love. He could only turn off the phone and get up in a hurry.
Qiangwei asked in confusion, "Honey, how do you know a nun?"
"An old woman who has a husband but still deceives herself to become a monk. Ignore her." Yang Cheng muttered.
"Then what about her granddaughter?" Qiangwei looked at Yang Cheng strangely.
"Don't think too much about it. Why are you gossiping too? Do I look like the kind of person who would attack a little nun?"
"You do," Qiangwei said without hesitation and tried not to laugh.
A few black lines hung on Yang Chen's face, but he couldn't say a word.
Half an hour later, Yang Cheng drove to the train station in Zhonghai. He ran into the station, which was empty in the morning. There weren't many people walking around the hall.
Yang Cheng scanned the rows of seats and corners. Just when he was about to suspect that Hui Lin had left, a figure sitting alone near the door attracted his attention.
Her long hair was let down and combed neatly to the sides. Her oval face was fair and supple. Even in winter, it didn't feel dry at all. Her beautiful facial features were still exquisite, but she seemed to be tired. She had a sleepy and cute expression on her face. She pouted her pink lips and looked like she was stuttering.
She changed out of her Taoist robe and put on a light coffee-colored coat that an ordinary girl would wear in the city. Black tight-fitting trousers accentuated her perfect figure and a pair of leather boots with a mane.
Yang Cheng almost couldn't recognize the Hui Lin who had transformed from a little nun into a modern city girl.
Walking to the girl, Yang Cheng looked at the pink suitcase beside her and then at the dozing Hui Lin. He frowned and asked, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?! "
Hui Lin seemed to have woken up from her drowsiness. When she heard the voice, she stood up from her seat and rubbed her eyes to wake herself up. She looked at Yang Cheng nervously and timidly, looking pitiful as if she had been bullied.
"You … Why are you here …"
"Why am I here?" Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Your grandma called me and said that she was going to kill me. How could I not look for you? Didn't I ask you to call me? Why are you sitting here all the time? Don't tell me you've been sitting here all night!? "
Hui Lin shrank back in fear and nodded her head pitifully.
Yang Chen really didn't know what to say. Although there was heating in the train station, it wasn't as if she was a homeless wanderer who had no one to rely on. What was this supposed to mean?!
"Why didn't you call me!?" Yang Cheng asked again.
Hui Lin looked away and said faintly, "I … I felt embarrassed."
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. "What's there to be embarrassed about? Don't tell me you really think that I'll treat you as my wife just because your master said he wants you to be my wife? In my eyes, you're just like a little sister. Since you're in Zhonghai, just treat me as your distant relative. Why are you embarrassed? "
"But … but we're not relatives." Hui Lin replied faintly.
It was hard for Yang Cheng to communicate with this naive girl. He took a deep breath and pulled Hui Lin's suitcase. "Let's go, I'll bring you to where you're staying."
"You don't have to help me. I'll pull it myself." Hui Lin immediately grabbed her suitcase with a blushing face.
Yang Cheng glared at her. "Why are you snatching it? Your master asked you to come here. Just listen to me and follow behind me."
"Oh …"
Hui Lin immediately retracted her hand and followed Yang Cheng to the carpark with her head lowered.
When they were on the highway back to the villa, Yang Cheng called Abbess Yun Miao and told her that he had found Hui Lin. However, when Abbess Yun Miao asked why she had only arrived now, Yang Cheng immediately passed the phone to Hui Lin and asked Hui Lin to explain herself.
When Hui Lin said that she was too shy to call Yang Cheng to pick her up, Abbess Yun Miao immediately scolded Hui Lin to the point that Hui Lin was about to cry.
After that, Abbess Yun Miao only said that Hui Lin was to stay at Yang Cheng's house. As for what she did, it was up to Yang Cheng to decide. However, she was not allowed to stay at home all day.
Yang Cheng could tell that Abbess Yun Miao wasn't sending him a wife. She was sending him a 'daughter'. She was already an adult. Not only did he have to take care of her food and lodging, she even had to help him find a job!
As for a place to stay, Yang Cheng initially wanted to let Hui Lin stay elsewhere. After all, he and Lin Ruoxi were at an awkward stage. However, Hui Lin was so innocent. It wouldn't be reliable to let her stay outside alone. Since he had promised Abbess Yun Miao to take care of her, he couldn't be too cruel. He could only bite the bullet and let her stay with him.
When they arrived at the villa in Dragon Garden, Lin Ruoxi had already left for work. There was only Mother Wang who was clearing the dining table at home.
When Mother Wang saw Yang Cheng bringing an unfamiliar, beautiful girl into the house, she asked curiously, "Young Master, this lady is …"
"Oh, she's my distant cousin. She wants to do some internship in Zhonghai. She'll be staying at our house for the time being. I've told Ruoxi before," Yang Cheng said.
When Mother Wang heard that she was Yang Cheng's relative, she immediately welcomed Hui Lin warmly. She brought her luggage upstairs and quickly arranged a guest room for Hui Lin. There were many empty rooms in the house, and they were cleaned by professionals. She could move in anytime, so it wasn't a problem.
Hui Lin went into the room to tidy up her luggage. When Mother Wang heard that she hadn't had breakfast, she immediately ran downstairs and made some simple dishes. She scooped out the leftover porridge and asked Yang Cheng to call Hui Lin down to eat so that she wouldn't starve.
It was obvious that Huilin, who looked cute and pretty, easily won Mother Wang's favor.
Yang Cheng didn't have time to go to work, so he wasn't in a hurry. He went upstairs and knocked on Hui Lin's door. There was no response.
Yang Cheng didn't think much and pushed the door open. When he entered the room, he was overjoyed. Hui Lin was wearing clothes and pants. She didn't even take off her shoes. She had fallen asleep on the big bed!
She was cold and hungry for a whole day on the train and didn't sleep at all. It must have been hard on her.
She had never traveled so far in her life. Moreover, she was in an unfamiliar city. She sat alone in a train station filled with strangers. After a whole night, Yang Cheng calmed down and felt pity for her.
Walking to the bed, Yang Cheng pulled up the blanket and covered Hui Lin with it.
However, just as the blanket was covered, Hui Lin opened her eyes abruptly. She sat up and looked at Yang Cheng warily. Her big eyes were filled with agitation as she retreated to the other side of the bed. "You … What are you doing?! Don't … Don't do anything rash … "
Yang Cheng was frustrated. "What are you doing? I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I'm covering you with the blanket."
Only then did Hui Lin notice the blanket in Yang Cheng's hands. When she thought about how she had misunderstood him, she immediately blushed. Actually, she was only vaguely aware of the affairs between men and women. Before she left, Abbess Yun Miao had forcefully instilled some things into her mind. She only understood half of it. However, she was a young girl in her twenties after all. She would definitely be shy and yearning for the affairs between men and women. Hence, when she saw Yang Cheng, the only man who had left a mark in her heart that she didn't reject, she would definitely have a strange feeling.
"So … Sorry, I was too nervous," Hui Lin said shyly.
Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly. "Since you're not going to sleep, go downstairs and have breakfast. Mother Wang has prepared it for you."
"Oh …" Hui Lin replied obediently.
…
At the same time, in a hidden and seemingly ordinary old building in Beijing, in a quiet office, Lin Zhiguo put down the newspaper in his hand and took off his presbyopic glasses. He asked Gray Robe, who was standing respectfully beside him, "Hui 'er has arrived at Ruoxi's house, right?"
"I've just received a report that Yang Cheng has brought Miss Hui home. Master, you can be at ease now."
"Sigh … What's there to be at ease about? Gray Robe, do you know that I really hope that Ruoxi and Hui 'er can get along well? However, I'm also worried about how they would react if they found out that they're blood-related sisters. Hui 'er is gentle and pure by nature, so she might not reject me that much. However, you know how much Ruoxi hates me. Once she finds out the truth, she might not be able to calm down! "Lin Zhiguo frowned.
Gray Robe was silent. He had been by Lin Zhiguo's side for a long time, so he naturally knew what was going on.
"Oh right," Lin Zhiguo suddenly thought of something and asked, "After I gave the DNA test to Yang Gongming, did the Yang Family do anything?"
Gray Robe revealed a playful smile. "Master, that was a clever move. Old Yang thanked Master for telling him that his eldest grandson was still alive. He also appeared on behalf of Master to meet the head of the Zeng Family. "
"Oh? Yang Gongming finally showed himself again? "
"There's hope for his long-lost grandson to return home. As an old man, he naturally doesn't want to see anyone hurt him. Moreover, Yang Cheng is in the right, so Old Yang won't have any psychological burden. According to the reports from his subordinates, the Zeng Family's original plan to secretly gather forces to deal with Yang Cheng has been stopped, "Gray Robe said.
"Although the Zeng Family is powerful, it can't be compared to the Yang Family. Not to mention that Yang Gongming has students all over the world, even with his son Yang Pojun and son-in-law Yuan Hewei, they are enough to catch the attention of Guangyao. If it wasn't for the fact that the Yang Family is small in numbers, they would have long been respected in Beijing, "Lin Zhiguo chuckled and said," I didn't expect that kid Yang Cheng to have such connections. However, even if the Zeng Family stops now, it doesn't mean that they won't make a move in the future. Keep an eye on them and don't let your guard down. "
"Yes, Master."
