After the farcical experience, Yang Cheng didn't dare to look at Lin Ruoxi's expression the next morning.
It wasn't that Yang Cheng was shy, but he felt that what he did was rather childish. Not only was it childish, he even failed! He was so embarrassed.
Lin Ruoxi acted as though nothing had happened as she continued to chew on her food. That was the only good thing about being an iceberg. You couldn't tell if she was happy, angry, sad, or joyful at all.
The most depressed and nervous person was Hui Lin. Sandwiched between the two of them, she didn't know what to do.
Last night, Yang Cheng touched her body and kissed her earlobe. Hui Lin's body was burning hot and her heart was itching. She couldn't sleep for the whole night.
Ever since she was young, she had been brought up by Abbess Yun Miao. She had planned to be a nun for the rest of her life. Who knew that her grandma would force her into this family and force her to get close to Yang Cheng to consummate her marriage …
Initially, when Hui Lin saw the complicated relationship between Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi, she felt that it was better for her to stay out of it. But now, it was hard for her to stay out of it even if she wanted to.
Hui Lin knew that even though she said that she didn't mind, she still cared a lot about it.
After all, she grew up with a traditional education. In the past, she hadn't even let a man touch her finger. But last night, she was kissed, hugged, and touched. How could Hui Lin say that she didn't care?
But, that man was her brother-in-law …
The troubled Hui Lin didn't eat much porridge in the morning. She put down her bowl and chopsticks. She didn't have any appetite.
Mother Wang asked concernedly, "Hui Lin, are you feeling unwell? Why did you eat so little? "
Hui Lin shook her head. "No, Mother Wang, I'm just not hungry. I'm fine."
"Oh," Mother Wang nodded doubtfully. She probably knew that young people always had all kinds of troubles, so she didn't ask further.
Just when Hui Lin's body felt stiff and uncomfortable sitting on the chair, the doorbell rang.
"I'll drive it!"
As if she had found a way out, Hui Lin immediately ran to open the door for the guest.
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other and saw that Lin Ruoxi's eyes were as cold as frost.
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose. He felt that it was better not to look at this woman in the eye. It would take at least a week for him to thaw a little.
"Who is it? Why are you here so early in the morning?" Mother Wang asked in confusion.
Yang Cheng shrugged and casually said, "Who knows, it might be someone coming to pay a New Year's greeting."
Hui Lin opened the door gently. She had a relaxed smile on her face, but when she saw the person standing at the door, the smile on Hui Lin's face immediately disappeared. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
There were two old people standing outside the door. To be precise, it was an old man and an old lady who looked like a servant.
The old man was wearing a thick vermilion Tang suit, a pair of black coarse pants and a pair of black and white handmade cloth shoes. His greyish-white hair was neatly combed at the back of his head. There were many age spots and amiable wrinkles on his face. His body seemed to be a little crooked, or perhaps he wasn't tall to begin with. He looked thin and petite.
The old lady behind him was wearing a grey cotton gown that looked like it was from the era of the Republic of China. She looked amiable and her hair was all white, but she seemed to be in good spirits.
When the old man saw Hui Lin, it was as if he had seen his own granddaughter. He smiled and more wrinkles appeared on his face. He looked at Hui Lin kindly and asked, "You're the lass from the Lin family, right? You're already so big."
Hui Lin was finally sure that she didn't recognize the wrong person. She quickly took three steps back and bowed solemnly and excitedly. She bowed at 90 degrees twice.
"Re … Chairman! Nice to meet you! "
Hui Lin's strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the other three people in the room. Why did she suddenly bow? Who was it?
The old man waved his hand and said warmly, "I quit that job a long time ago. Don't be like this. I'm here early in the morning. Did I disturb your breakfast?"
"Yes, I did … Oh no no no! No … I didn't! "Hui Lin almost told the truth. Her face turned red and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
The old man chuckled, "Don't be nervous. I'm not a man-eating old monster."
Hui Lin thought to herself, How can I not be nervous? Even though he had never seen his grandmother more than three times since he was young, he would never dare to forget the face of this old lady.
This was one of the founders of Hua Xia, the descendant of the founding fathers of the country!
Even though Hui Lin had been practicing martial arts in Emei and rarely returned to Beijing, she could tell how powerful this old man was just by listening to Abbess Yun Miao's occasional stories.
In the Politburo of the Central Committee, other than the chairman, almost everyone had some sort of relationship with this old man, not to mention the other provincial level and ministerial level officials. Perhaps one out of three ministerial level officials would be willing to address this old man as' Master '.
Even though the Lin family was a big family with a long history in Beijing, compared to this old man who had pushed them to the top, they could only be considered as second-rate.
If it wasn't for the era when this old man could summon the wind and summon the rain, internet media had not yet developed and television was considered a rarity in Hua Xia, this old man's limelight would definitely be as eye-catching as the great men of the century!
Unfortunately, the era was different. So after this old man retired, almost no young people could remember this person. Even if they did, they could only vaguely remember his silhouette.
After all, Hui Lin wasn't some otherworldly expert. She was just a greenhorn and naive little girl. Of course, she was shocked and scared when she saw the real mastermind of the country.
"Even though your grandfather and I are quite different in age, we can be considered as peers. If you don't think it's appropriate to call me anything else, just call me Grandpa Yang." Yang Gongming smiled when he saw that Hui Lin didn't know what to say.
Hui Lin replied softly, "Yes, Grandpa Yang."
Regarding Yang Gongming's sudden arrival, Hui Lin thought that he was here to speak up for his grandson, Yang Lie. So, she looked at Yang Cheng worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Yang Gongming walked towards Yang Chen with a smile on his face. Using a slow and gentle tone, he said, "Young man, you don't have to look at me like that. Let's eat breakfast. I was in a hurry, and I always wake up early, so I came here early. If you have any questions, let's talk after breakfast."
Yang Cheng's hearing was very good. He had heard Hui Lin calling him "Chairman". After thinking about it carefully, he realized that with Hui Lin's position as the granddaughter of the Lin family, the only person who needed to bow and call her "Chairman" was the Chairman of the National People's Congress in Hua Xia.
This position was similar to the Speaker of the United States Congress. Although it was not as prominent as the President or the Prime Minister, it was often the key to the overall situation and the formulation of national policies.
However, although Yang Cheng had seen the news, he had never seen this old man. He must be the old Chairman who had retired.
Facing such an old man who was a national leader and called himself "Grandpa Yang" …
How could Yang Cheng not know who this old man was?
Looking at the old man who had a face full of vicissitudes of life and was leisurely looking at the decorations of the villa with a smile, Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. There was nowhere to hide.
He had thought that it was a joke to have a father who was a military commander, but his father was a national leader.
He had not seen any of his relatives for the past 20 years. It had only been a year since he returned to China. Why were there so many big shots related to him?
When Lin Ruoxi saw Yang Gongming, she was confused for a while. Then, she recognized who this old man was, not to mention Mother Wang, who was much older than her.
Mother Wang, who was a little timid, had lost her appetite. She looked around and didn't know what to say. She just gave an excuse that she was going to the kitchen to boil water and ran away.
Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment. She knew where Yang Gongming came from. Thinking about the incident with Yang Lie a few days ago and Yang Cheng's reaction, Lin Ruoxi vaguely felt that this big shot should have a great relationship with Yang Cheng.
However, the more she thought about it, the more unbelievable Lin Ruoxi felt!
Both of them had the surname Yang. Could it be … that such a man was a member of the top family in Hua Xia after the founding of the country!?
Was this a joke? If it was true, wouldn't he be the legendary Crown Prince?
Lin Ruoxi frowned and secretly looked at Yang Cheng. He was not much different from when he was selling mutton skewers.
