It was nighttime, and the Xu family's mansion in Zhonghai was brightly lit. Outside the garden, there were security guards patrolling everywhere.
In a relatively dimly lit baroque bedroom, Xu Zhihong, who was wearing a black nightgown, stood at the bar counter in the room and poured himself a glass of Lafite red wine. Just as he raised the glass and swirled it a few times, before he took a sip, he heard knocking on the bedroom door.
"Come in." Xu Zhihong frowned.
Hairy Ball, dressed in a washed out t-shirt and ripped jeans, walked in with a grin. The beard on his face looked like it had not been shaved for more than ten days, and the stench of sweat could be smelled from far away.
"How many times have I told you, this door is a work of art. If you want to enter, shout." Xu Zhihong was helpless against this subordinate of his.
Hairy Ball laughed. "It's because I was too excited and forgot about this."
"You never remembered." Xu Zhihong glared at Hairy Ball.
Hairy Ball was deflated, but he scratched his greasy hair. "Young master, do you know what I saw today?"
Xu Zhihong walked to the window and said lightly, "Get to the point."
"How unromantic, no wonder he couldn't pick up the chick with the surname Lin … …" Hairy Ball muttered, then said, "Lin Kun came looking for me, saying that he would help him teach that Yang Chen a lesson. I wanted to push the boat with the current, and lent him five retired soldiers, but I didn't expect that today, those five people were all defeated by Yang Chen alone. Lin Kun was thrown into the trash! Young master, don't you think it's funny! Haha! That's his father-in-law, and he was thrown into the trash! "
Xu Zhihong swirled the wine in his glass, thinking for a while, then said, "It seems that this Yang Cheng really isn't simple. Unfortunately, there's too little information on him, and it's too difficult to understand him. "
Hairy Ball teased, "Young master, don't tell me you're afraid?"
"Afraid?" Xu Zhihong sneered. "He only knows a few punches and kicks, and he's a scoundrel. Why would I be afraid of him? A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. He's just a nobody who came back from abroad half a year ago. Do you think he can really turn the tables? "
"Then do you want me to deal with him now? I heard those pieces of trash say that he's fast, and my hands are a little itchy right now," Furball excitedly said.
Xu Zhihong shook his head. "No need. Let's not get involved in this matter for the time being. Lin Ruoxi didn't seem to say anything, but in fact, she understood everything. In this city, she might not be the smartest woman, and she might not be the most low-key woman, but she was definitely one of the most dangerous women. Don't provoke her. Don't force her to do something she doesn't want to do. "
"Young master, you've always thought so highly of Miss Lin. Just what kind of ability does she have?" Furball asked in confusion.
Xu Zhihong took a sip of the dry red wine. "Actually, I'm not very sure, but it's never wrong to be careful. As for Yang Cheng's matter, don't worry. We don't need to do anything. That brainless Lin Kun won't let this go. "
"Young Master is wise!"
"Stop flattering me! Get out of my room and take a shower! "
"Actually, I just showered last week …"

Early the next morning, Yang Cheng drove to the west district market to buy breakfast.
As expected, Old Li had set up his stall at the same place as before. His face was full of joy and he seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that after knowing about the Chen family's father and son, the burden in his heart had been lifted. Seeing Yang Cheng walk over, he smiled and greeted him. "Little Yang, you're here. I heard from them that you went to work at a company. Well, that's what a young man should do."
"It's all work. There's not much difference." Yang Cheng smiled. "Unfortunately, I don't have much time to talk to you guys in the future. Sitting in the office isn't as comfortable as sitting here."
Old Li mischievously smiled. "That girl Jingjing was very happy last night. Did you say something to her?"
Yang Cheng thought for a moment. "I made an appointment with her to visit her at school today."
Old Li had a look of realization. He patted Yang Cheng's shoulder. "Young people should get along well. My Jingjing is innocent. Don't let her suffer. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
Looking at Old Li's "I knew it" expression, Yang Cheng really wanted to explain a few words. But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it. He could only nod awkwardly.
Once again, he entered the office with big and small bags of breakfast. A group of women in the public relations department were already looking forward to it. Seeing the variety of breakfast, they chattered and praised Yang Cheng.
Not long after Yang Cheng sat down, he was about to turn on the computer to start a new day of "professional gamer" when he saw a tired Mo Qianni walk into the office.
Mo Qianni glanced at Yang Cheng and then looked at the pile of buns and youtiao left on Yang Cheng's desk. She suddenly became angry. This guy, as a husband, took care of his wife in the hospital and still remembered to buy a lot of breakfast for the women in the office. She couldn't help but ridicule, "You really take care of your colleagues. Buying breakfast is so dedicated. I just don't know if you will bring some for someone. "
"Miss Mo also wants to eat? It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is still a lot. "Yang Cheng picked up a meat bun from the table and generously sent it to Mo Qianni.
"You know who I am talking about." Mo Qianni whispered.
Yang Cheng helplessly smiled. "Ruoxi should eat something light and healthy. Mother Wang will naturally send it over. I can't bring meat buns and youtiao to a patient who needs to recuperate."
"Heartless, no need to find excuses."
Although this explanation was reasonable, Mo Qianni didn't accept it.
Realizing that this woman's prejudice against him had reached a certain degree, Yang Cheng didn't want to waste his effort. He shrugged and took back the bun.
Mo Qianni accompanied Lin Ruoxi in the hospital for the whole night, so she was also hungry. The fragrance in the office made her even hungrier. Seeing that Yang Cheng took back the bun, she was even more annoyed. She secretly cursed Yang Cheng for being stingy and ungentlemanly. She quickly took a bag of steamed dumplings from the table and walked back to the office.
"You're still so stubborn when you're hungry." Yang Cheng muttered with a smile.
When it was almost noon, Yang Cheng declined the invitation of the three women to have lunch together and drove to the hospital.
The First Hospital of Zhonghai was relatively quiet during the day. After all, the place was big and there were few patients. However, it was suitable for patients to rest.
Yang Cheng found the way to the door of Lin Ruoxi's ward. Seeing that the door was open and there was a conversation coming from inside, he walked closer and took a closer look. It was an "acquaintance" that he met two days ago.
"Ruoxi, the director of this hospital is quite familiar with me. Why don't I ask them to vacate the best intensive care ward for you? Just take it as a small token of my appreciation." Xu Zhihong looked at Lin Ruoxi with pity.
Lin Ruoxi leaned on the white pillow and looked at the sky outside the window with her ice-cold face. She said in a clear voice, "No need, thank you for coming to see me."
"Ruoxi, you're treating me like an outsider. If it weren't for the fact that I've been busy lately, I would've wanted to spend more time with you in the hospital. People like us lack this kind of quiet time together," Xu Zhihong said emotionally.
This time, Lin Ruoxi didn't even have the interest to continue the conversation. She looked out of the window as if she didn't hear anything.
Mother Wang, who was tidying up the tableware, felt that the silent atmosphere in the room was too awkward. Just when she was about to say some polite words for Lin Ruoxi, she saw Yang Cheng standing at the door of the ward. She immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, you're here."
