After reading that sentence as if she was talking to herself, Lin Ruoxi closed the photo album without batting an eyelid. She looked calm, but her tightly pursed lips and unsightly expression betrayed her true feelings.
Yang Cheng saw this and his heart couldn't help but twitch.
Lin Ruoxi was indeed not good at dealing with emotional matters, but that didn't mean that she was careless and couldn't differentiate.
On the contrary, because she was in a high position all year round, she was able to grasp a lot of delicate emotions and analyze a lot of extended things. Therefore, when she saw these photos and thought about those few lines of the poem, she could think of far more than what was told to her.
However, there were some things that she wasn't willing to think about and explore after seeing it, let alone believe it.
Lin Ruoxi put the photo album back into the drawer. After a moment of silence, she turned her head and looked at Yang Cheng with a pair of limpid eyes, "You … Do you know something?"
Yang Cheng already knew that Lin Ruoxi would ask this because he had tried to stop Lin Ruoxi from flipping through the photos.
"What do you mean by know? I don't even understand the meaning of those lines of the poem. This question is so strange." Yang Cheng casually said with a smile, but he bitterly sighed in his heart. Even if he really knew something, he couldn't say it before this matter was completely revealed.
Some things should be forever sealed, or never mentioned. Whether it was true or false, it wasn't a good choice to say it out loud.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes had a few ripples, but she didn't continue asking. She wasn't someone who would pester Yang Cheng. Since Yang Cheng didn't want to say it, she wouldn't force him.
Guo Xuehua's voice came from downstairs, calling for the two of them to eat. Since she moved into this house, many of Mother Wang's "duties" had been taken over by her.
"Let's go down!" Lin Ruoxi stood up and walked out of the house.
Yang Cheng looked at the photo on the bedside table, sighed, and followed her downstairs.
Lunch was as sumptuous as usual. The few of them were chatting and laughing, and Lin Ruoxi was as calm as usual. She chewed slowly, without the slightest hint of anger.
"Ruoxi, did something happen these days? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Guo Xuehua asked this because she was already sure that Yang Cheng and his wife were hiding something from them. She was attacked by an unknown person in the morning. Although Qiangwei saved her and handed the attacker to the police, Guo Xuehua didn't think that it was just an ordinary robber. And it was unlikely that the culprit was targeting Guo Xuehua. No one dared to offend the Yang Family, and those who dared wouldn't use such a low-level method.
Then, the biggest possibility was that Lin Ruoxi or Yang Cheng had met with an opponent who wanted to use their family to threaten them. Guo Xuehua clearly remembered that the "postman" used ether in an attempt to knock her out.
Mother Wang and Zhenxiu both put down their chopsticks. They had been discussing in the kitchen for a long time, and they were concerned about what Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng were doing outside.
Lin Ruoxi wasn't surprised. "The company encountered some difficulties, but it's been resolved now. The matter will be settled the day after tomorrow. I've already sent someone from the security company, don't worry, Mom. "
"Sigh, it's about the company again," Mother Wang looked at Lin Ruoxi with a pained expression. "Miss, it's been hard on you. Ever since the old madam passed away and handed the company over to you, I've never seen you in peace. It's rare that the company is developing steadily now, but there are so many troublemakers. No matter if you're good or bad, there will always be people who want to make life difficult for you. "
"Trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice …" Guo Xuehua looked at her daughter-in-law with pity. "It must be hard for a girl in her twenties to be in such a position."
Lin Ruoxi had a complicated expression on her face. She forced a smile. "I'm used to it, it's fine."
"How can you get used to it? You're just suffering all the time," Zhenxiu, who had always admired Lin Ruoxi, pouted and said, "Sister Ruoxi, I think you should just hand the company over to Brother Yang. You're husband and wife anyway. Isn't this something a man should do outside? I see you waking up early and working late every day. You're even more tired than me preparing for the college entrance examination. It's fine if you don't want to be the CEO. "
"Little girl, what do you know?" Yang Cheng immediately glared at Zhenxiu when he heard Zhenxiu's suggestion. He chewed on the rice in his mouth and said loudly, "You think you can just hand over the CEO position of a multinational corporation just like that? Do you want Yu Lei to close down or do you want me to be in trouble? "
"Brother Yang is so petty," Zhenxiu pouted. "You don't know how to treat me well. Also, I'm not a little girl!"
"Your suggestion is indeed heart-wrenching. My liver, stomach, and gums hurt just listening to it." As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, he noticed that Lin Ruoxi was staring at him with a bone-chilling gaze. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly before continuing to eat.
Lin Ruoxi said expressionlessly, "Don't worry. Even if you say you want to be the CEO, I won't give it to you. So, you don't have to feel pain everywhere."
This time, even Guo Xuehua didn't help Yang Cheng. My son is too much. Will Lin Ruoxi really give the CEO position to him? He doesn't even know how to say something nice to his wife. So, he said to Yang Cheng in dissatisfaction, "Ruoxi is working so hard, yet you're still saying such sarcastic words when you're so carefree. What's the point of fighting with that little girl Zhenxiu?"
Yang Cheng was annoyed. Who asked Lin Ruoxi to hand the company over to him? He was just afraid of the aftereffects of it.
After eating for a while, when Yang Chen was about to scoop himself another bowl of rice, he heard the old-fashioned doorbell ringing. Ding dong, ding dong.
"Someone's here?" Mother Wang's expression tensed up. "Could it be another fake bad guy?"
"Mother Wang, no matter how stupid he is, he won't use the same trick again." Yang Cheng smiled.
"Be careful!" Guo Xuehua looked at Yang Cheng.
Of course, Yang Cheng knew what Guo Xuehua meant. There were only women here, and it was the safest for him to go out. Moreover, Guo Xuehua also knew that he wasn't an ordinary person.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Yang Cheng walked out of the house.
A black Cadillac was parked quietly at the entrance, attracting the attention of many passersby. The person who came was not a stranger, but someone he knew.
Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu, who were dressed rather formally, were standing outside the iron gate, waiting for him to open the gate with a smile.
Yang Cheng hadn't seen Yang Jieyu since they parted ways with the Cai family. Speaking of which, since their sister-in-law, Guo Xuehua, was staying in Zhonghai for a long time, they should visit her often. However, both of them were meticulous people. They knew very well that if they visited Guo Xuehua frequently, they would be going against their elder brother, Yang Pojun.
Therefore, they hadn't been here before. According to Guo Xuehua, they only kept in touch through the phone. They didn't expect them to come together today.
"Looking at your expression, you don't seem to welcome uncle and aunt?" Yuan Hewei grinned.
"Yang Cheng isn't unhappy, he probably didn't expect us to come," Yang Jieyu chided her husband.
Yang Cheng opened the door and made a 'please' gesture. "I've just moved and you guys are already here. It seems like everything in Zhonghai is under your control."
"It's fine if others don't know, but Nephew Gu has moved. We have to see it clearly!" Yuan Hewei seemed to be in a good mood. He pretended to be angry and said, "Yang Cheng, why didn't you tell us that you're moving your entire family? Did you want us to not be able to find you?"
As the three of them walked in, Yang Cheng said to them, "This house belongs to Ruoxi. This house was moved by an elder. I'm the only one staying in the 'female dormitory'. It doesn't matter if I didn't tell you or not."
While they were chatting, Guo Xuehua, who saw the Yuan couple, came out of the door to welcome them. She smiled sincerely and said, "Wei, Jieyu, why are you guys so free to come at this time?"
Yang Jieyu and Guo Xuehua hugged each other lightly. It was obvious that they were very close. Yang Jieyu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, aren't you asking the obvious? Now that Yu Lei is in such a difficult situation, how can we just watch our nephew and niece-in-law's family business collapse? Of course, we're here to discuss something with Ruoxi. "
The moment she said that, Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang's faces turned pale. They looked at Lin Ruoxi in surprise.
They only heard from Lin Ruoxi that there was a problem, but they didn't know that the problem was so serious that it could cause Yu Lei to fall apart!
Looking at Guo Xuehua's expression, Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu realized that Guo Xuehua really didn't know. They couldn't help but think of something and looked at Lin Ruoxi apologetically.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head to indicate that it was fine. She said, "Come in and take a seat. We're still having lunch. Have you two eaten?"
Yuan Hewei and his wife looked at each other. They didn't understand why Lin Ruoxi, the CEO of Yu Lei International, would be eating her lunch at home calmly while the outside world was in an uproar over Yu Lei's battle against the international financial market.
Was she confident? Or resigned to her fate and waited for death?
When the few of them sat on the mahogany deerskin sofa, Mother Wang took out fragrant black tea from the inner room and brewed it for everyone. The atmosphere was still a little strange.
Yuan Hewei looked at his niece-in-law, who was holding a white porcelain cup with an indifferent expression. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'll call you Ruoxi, is that alright?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded lightly. "Mm."
Yuan Hewei also knew that Lin Ruoxi was famous for her cold personality and didn't mind her impoliteness. He continued, "Ruoxi, do you know who caused Yu Lei to be unable to get a loan from the bank?"
"I don't know," Lin Ruoxi said honestly.
Yang Jieyu looked at Lin Ruoxi's calm and beautiful face and said with some annoyance, "This child, she's still so calm even at a time like this. Why do I feel like we're the eunuchs instead of the emperor? "
Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything and took a sip of the black tea.
"Do you still remember Zeng Xinlin, who died in front of your house?" Yuan Hewei wasn't affected and continued speaking while looking at Yang Cheng.
"Yes," Lin Ruoxi seemed to have guessed something and a glimmer flashed across her eyes.
Yang Cheng, who was sitting on the other sofa, asked casually, "Don't tell me that killing the little dog attracted the old dog?"
Yang Jieyu said unhappily, "Zeng Mao was the previous head of the Zeng family and an old official of Hua Xia's State Council. In your mouth, he became old … old or something. That's so unpleasant."
Guo Xuehua, who was listening to their conversation, was a little shocked. "What do you mean? Zeng Mao from the Zeng family in Beijing, Duke Mao? His grandson, Zeng Xinlin, was … was … "
"That's right, sister-in-law. He was killed by your precious son, Yang Cheng, in front of your house," Yuan Hewei smiled helplessly and told the truth.
This time, Guo Xuehua's eyes widened. She seemed a little flustered and anxious.
Yang Cheng wasn't in a hurry and didn't care how the Yuan couple knew about this. After all, the Yuan family was the number one family in Zhonghai and definitely had extraordinary power. He was only thinking about whether he should cut it off immediately since he knew the source. So he asked, "That … Zeng Mao, where is he now?"
