At the invitation of the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and some people from the Chamber of Commerce, Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi had lunch in a government hotel. Mo Qianni, on the other hand, had left because she had some other work to do.
This time, the meeting between the three of them was not as awkward as Yang Cheng had imagined. Perhaps the two women had a tacit understanding in private. Lin Ruoxi would not point out the problem, and Mo Qianni would also pretend that she did not notice anything. Under the premise that no one was mentally prepared, no one dared to break this situation easily.
Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He would not have a headache for the time being, but it would be hard to say in the future.
He asked Wu Yue to send a car over, and Yang Cheng drove it home. When they arrived at the door, Yang Cheng's sharp eyes immediately noticed a familiar white Infiniti car parked in front of the door.
Yang Cheng was slightly puzzled. How could it be that woman? But when he thought that she might be looking for Lin Ruoxi, he did not think too much about it.
Lin Ruoxi did not notice that there were guests at her house. Just when she walked to the door and was about to open it, the door immediately opened by itself.
Two familiar-looking young female guards, Xiao Wen and Xiao Li, walked out first, followed closely by Guo Xuehua, who looked melancholy and had red and swollen eyes.
Guo Xuehua had been waiting for the two of them to come home. When she vaguely heard some movements outside, she immediately ran out.
Hui Lin and Mother Wang followed her to the door. Mother Wang looked a little surprised, but Hui Lin's brows were deeply knitted, and her eyes were filled with self-blame and guilt.
"Are you Yang Cheng?" Guo Xuehua was also stunned when she saw Yang Cheng. It had not been a long time since they last met at the orphanage. Moreover, Yang Cheng's appearance and aura gave her a very special feeling. She vaguely had some strange thoughts, so when she saw Yang Cheng, she immediately recognized him.
A flash of surprise flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes. He did not expect that she was looking for him and not Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng strangely. She had just seen Guo Xuehua, and she thought that the founder of New Hope Orphanage was looking for her. Although they did not have much interaction in the past, and they did not talk much when they met occasionally, she should not be looking for Yang Cheng, right?
"I am." Yang Cheng nodded.
Guo Xuehua suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yang Cheng's arm. She did not care about her dignified demeanor and hurriedly said, "I am Yang Lie's mother, Guo Xuehua. We met at the orphanage last time! I heard that you can save my son. I beg you, please save him, okay? "
Guo Xuehua's pleading was like a bolt from the blue that hit Yang Cheng's mind. Yang Cheng's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time …
Yang Lie's … mother!?
Yang Cheng suddenly realized something. No wonder when he saw the portrait of this woman, he felt a sense of deja vu. No wonder when he met her at the entrance of the orphanage that day, he also felt a special emotional fluctuation. No wonder …
The corner of Yang Cheng's mouth revealed a trace of bitterness. He did not look at Guo Xuehua's face and said in a low voice, "Do you know why he was injured by me?"
Guo Xuehua's face was sad. She smiled bitterly and said, "I know. I just asked Little Hui about the situation that day. Lie 'er has always liked Little Hui, but he is not a bad person. He was just anxious, so he was a little reckless. He's already been punished. Can you go and save him? If he goes on like this, he will not be able to get up again! "
Hui Lin looked sad. She naturally knew Guo Xuehua. Although she had been cultivating in Mount Emei all year round, she still knew the important figures of the big families in Yan Jing. Although she did not like Yang Lie, Hui Lin still felt pity when she saw this woman, who had always been praised by the upper class, begging in such a low voice.
Lin Ruoxi finally understood the cause of the matter. She did not expect that Yang Lie was Guo Xuehua's son. Since Guo Xuehua had quietly established so many orphanages without seeking any rewards from society, it was obvious that she was kind. She really did not understand why her son, Yang Lie, would have such a bad temper.
However, although Lin Ruoxi could not bear to see Guo Xuehua like this, she did not persuade Yang Cheng to save Yang Lie. After all, some things were decided by men.
"Reckless?" Yang Cheng snorted and sneered, "In broad daylight, he used force to drag a girl who did not want to go with him. At the same time, he mocked and ridiculed those who did not have any evil intentions, completely disregarding them. Such a person will think highly of himself and be arrogant just because he has some strength. Instead of letting others suffer after he recovers, it's better for him to spend the rest of his life alone in bed. Anyway, with the power of the Yang Family, even if you can't cure him, you can still make him a patient lying on the bed. "
Guo Xuehua turned pale with fright. Her wrinkled face seemed to have aged a few years as she looked at Yang Cheng wearily.
Yang Cheng could not bear it. But to be honest, although he was young, he had seen countless people. Based on Yang Lie's character, it was almost predestined. Once he recovered, he would only have a stronger grudge against him and would not turn over a new leaf.
Therefore, Yang Cheng made up his mind and rejected Guo Xuehua's request.
There was still a sour and unbalanced feeling in the bottom of Yang Cheng's heart. When he thought that this woman actually came to beg him and cried for the sake of that good-for-nothing guy, Yang Cheng felt a violent and gloomy feeling surging in his heart. If it was not for the fact that his Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture had been cultivated to the ninth level, and Yang Cheng's willpower and endurance were extremely firm, he might not have been able to control himself and directly turned around and left.
"How can you be like this? Do you think you're so great just because you're good at fighting? Isn't it enough that my family's madam humbly begged you?! " Xiao Wen, the guard at the side, could not hold back anymore. She had not liked Yang Cheng since they were in the orphanage. Now that her madam was so embarrassed and in pain, she immediately became angry and did not care that Yang Cheng's strength was much stronger than hers.
Yang Cheng glanced at Xiao Wen coldly. He only released a little bit of pressure, but it was enough to make Xiao Wen's face turn red and she did not dare to say another word.
"Go back. I will not save Yang Lie. Not every mistake has a chance to change. He is lucky that he did not die in my hands. It is other people's luck that he cannot use force in the future." After finishing his words, Yang Cheng prepared to go back into the house.
"Wait!"
Guo Xuehua turned around and shouted loudly to stop Yang Cheng. Looking at Yang Cheng's cold back, her elegant face showed some determination.
"Puff!"
Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding women, Guo Xuehua suddenly knelt on the ground!
Even if Yang Cheng did not turn around to look, he knew what had happened behind him. However, it was too sudden, and he did not think of stopping it at all!
She actually! Kneeling to me!?
Yang Cheng stood on the spot in a daze. It was as if his feet were nailed!
Behind him, Guo Xuehua did not cry anymore. Instead, she smiled sadly, "Today, I came to beg you to save my son, not as the Madam of the Yang Family, nor as a member of a big shot's family. I only came to beg you as the biological mother of my son … So, I am not forcing you, nor am I commanding you. I am sincerely begging you …
Although I know that my son has made a mistake that he should not have made, and he should not be so arrogant. But please allow me to say something extreme … Shouldn't children make mistakes? If they don't make mistakes, how can they be children? When children do things that harm others, as parents, it is difficult for them to absolve themselves from the blame. Even if Lie 'er really does something disgraceful in the future, it is because we did not educate him well for the past twenty years.
I am not a good mother, but I hope that when my son's life is about to be ruined, I can try my best to save him … "
Guo Xuehua raised her head and looked at Yang Cheng's back, which was still motionless. "Today, I will kneel here and beg you. No matter what you ask of me, as long as I can do it, I will do it. But please don't let my only remaining son be ruined like this … Okay?"
Only remaining son …
"My life is really a joke …" Yang Cheng laughed. He laughed so hard that his shoulders started to shake. In the end, it turned into a maniacal laughter.
He even laughed so hard that tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes.
The rest of the people present, including the two guards, Mother Wang and Hui Lin, were all surprised. They did not understand what was wrong with Yang Cheng.
Lin Ruoxi listened to Yang Cheng's wild and unruly laughter, but her heart ached. She did not know why, although Yang Cheng was clearly laughing, it made Lin Ruoxi feel extremely sad. She felt so sad that she felt despair. The feeling of loneliness and desolation was hard to erase from this man's back view.
Although Lin Ruoxi knew that Yang Cheng had an extraordinary past, at this moment, she understood a little more …
A man with this kind of laughter, perhaps he had really seen too many things lightly …
After a long time, when Guo Xuehua was about to lose all hope, Yang Cheng slowly turned around and looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly. He looked at her haggard face and said, "If you want me to save your son, you have to promise me one thing."
Guo Xuehua's eyes flashed with ecstasy. "Don't say one thing. Anything, as long as it's within my power, I'll do it even if it's a million, ten thousand!"
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I don't need you to do so many things, but there's one thing I want you to keep in mind …"
Taking a deep breath, Yang Cheng said in front of everyone's nervous eyes, "Madam Guo Xuehua, I hope that from now on, you will never say the word 'beg' to me again. Never say the word 'beg' to me again … Never … never kneel to me again!
No matter what happens, I forbid you to kneel to me or anyone else! No matter who it is! No matter what it is!
Don't ask why, just ask me, can you do it? "
