Since her son and daughter-in-law were all abroad for the Paris Fashion Week, the house was particularly quiet these days.
However, for Guo Xuehua, she enjoyed going shopping with her Mother Wang every day, buying groceries, and occasionally chatting with her neighbors about whose sons were getting married and whose young couples were quarreling. This kind of ordinary life was something that Guo Xuehua enjoyed very much.
She didn't have to bear the burden of being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang Family. She didn't have to be the wife of the chief, and she didn't have to be protected by personal guards everywhere she went. These days seemed glorious, but in fact, it made Guo Xuehua feel mentally and physically exhausted all year round.
Now, she handed over the charity orphanage that she had been running all these years to the foundation to manage, and wholeheartedly began to live at home.
Although the internal problems of the Yang Family hadn't been solved, and it was the first time that she had fallen out with Yang Pojun in her twenty-odd years of marriage, and she was disheartened, Guo Xuehua still felt that God was treating her well after finding her eldest son who had been separated from her for twenty years, even if her son was always making her worry.
Not to mention, her son's lover was living next door, and to be honest, she quite liked Qiangwei. After all, compared to the cold Lin Ruoxi, Qiangwei was more understanding and likable.
Even though she already knew that Qiangwei came from a mafia family and was the queen of the Red Thorns Society in Zhonghai, who said that mafia members were necessarily bad people? Guo Xuehua wasn't a short-sighted and inflexible woman who didn't know how to be flexible.
Moreover, as a mother who had neglected her duties for many years, how could Guo Xuehua forcefully interfere with her son's love life? Even if she could, to be honest, she couldn't bear to. Therefore, Guo Xuehua turned a blind eye. If Yang Cheng really wanted to have an affair in the future, as his mother, she would acquiesce. Even if she was disgusted by this, it wasn't uncommon for a man to have one or two lovers in the upper class.
As for the daughter-in-law and son's lover, it would be up to them to decide who could win the son's favor. Of course, as a mother-in-law, she still had the right to be partial.
With this thought in mind, Guo Xuehua made delicious food from time to time and brought it to Qiangwei to have a taste. The relationship between the two of them was much closer than that of Lin Ruoxi, the legitimate daughter-in-law.
These days, Guo Xuehua also found that there was another young girl living in Qiangwei's house. She was Mo Qianni, a young girl with similar looks and temperament.
After the introduction, she found out that Mo Qianni was the best friend of her daughter-in-law, and also the vice president of Yu Lei International. She was one of Lin Ruoxi's most trusted people. She couldn't help but sigh. Beautiful girls really gathered together.
Looking at Mo Qianni, who was more mature and sensible than Qiangwei, the more Guo Xuehua looked at her, the more she liked her. Compared with Qiangwei, Mo Qianni was a fair and aboveboard city female gold-collar worker. She was definitely the best choice for a good wife and mother!
Her headache was that there were so many beautiful girls around her son, but why did the coldest and most difficult girl to get along with become her daughter-in-law?
For a mother, whether her daughter-in-law's appearance was the most outstanding or not, she didn't think too much about it.
All of this could be considered as God's will. Guo Xuehua would never have thought that when Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi got married, it was still a contract marriage. It was just that their feelings became more and more blurry, and now they just made do with each other and didn't talk about it anymore.
Just today, Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang had just returned home after buying groceries. Even if Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi weren't home, there was still Zhenxiu at home, who was preparing for the college entrance examination. As elders, the two of them treated Zhenxiu like a little daughter, and tried their best to cook her delicious food.
This girl had a pitiful life. Ever since Park Jonghyun from Starmoon Group came to visit, she would often be in a daze, which made everyone in the family feel pity for her.
Just as they placed the meat and vegetables in the kitchen, they heard the phone outside ringing.
Generally speaking, the home phone rarely rang. Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi didn't have many friends, so it could be said that half of the calls were made by mistake.
Therefore, Guo Xuehua was closer to the door, so she walked over to pick up the phone. She asked who the caller was looking for, guessing that it was a mistake again.
However, after a moment of silence, a gentle, somewhat shy female voice was heard …
"Excuse me … Excuse me, is this Yang Cheng's house?" The one who spoke was naturally Anxin. At that moment, her heart was beating wildly, and her voice was trembling.
Guo Xuehua was slightly surprised. She could tell from the voice that it was a young girl, and she was looking for Yang Cheng? She immediately paid attention and said seriously, "Yes, this is Yang Cheng's house, and I'm his mother. Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Anxin's breathing quickened. Indeed, it was Yang Cheng's mother. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Hello Auntie, I … I wanted to tell you something. Yang Cheng, he … he was arrested in the West District Police Station …"
"What!?" Guo Xuehua suspected that she had heard wrongly. She hesitated and said, "Miss, could you be mistaken? My son's name is Yang Cheng, but he is currently on a business trip in Paris. How could he be arrested by the police in Zhonghai?"
"It's true, Auntie! Yang Cheng returned to the country early this morning, and something happened to him at the company … and then … and then the police just took him away … "
As she spoke, Anxin's tone became lower and lower. She wished that she could find a hole to hide in. If Guo Xuehua asked her why Yang Cheng was arrested, should she directly say, "Your son was arrested because of me?" If Guo Xuehua knew about this, she would definitely think that she was not a good woman. Not only did she seduce Yang Cheng, but she also harmed him.
Anxin felt gloomy, but she had to continue communicating with Guo Xuehua in order to save Yang Cheng.
At this moment, Guo Xuehua had calmed down. She was not an ordinary housewife. She had many years of experience traveling abroad, and she was born in a prestigious family. She quickly grasped the crux of the problem. It was not the time to figure out why Yang Cheng suddenly returned to the country and was arrested. What she needed to do now was to stabilize the situation. She could not let her son suffer in the police station!
Of course, Guo Xuehua also knew that Yang Cheng's martial arts were absolutely extraordinary. Even the country's secret forces could not contend against him. However, if Yang Cheng really made a move, the trouble would only snowball.
"I understand," Guo Xuehua said seriously, "I will handle this matter, but I hope to know the details later. May I know your name, Miss?"
"My … my name is Anxin."
Guo Xuehua murmured. This name sounded nice, and so did her voice. She should be a beautiful girl. Honestly, her son was not very handsome, and as a mother, she could only objectively say so. However, there were a lot of beautiful girls around him.
"Miss Anxin, I will go to the Westside Police Station later. Is it convenient for you to go with me? I want to meet you and figure out the situation face to face. "Guo Xuehua was very clear-headed. Her son was in trouble, and this girl called her. It must not be an ordinary relationship. Of course, she had to meet her for any reason. As for finding out the truth, it was just an excuse. She would naturally find out the reason when she went to the police station to see Yang Cheng.
Anxin was very anxious. She was happy and afraid. She was happy that she would have a chance to meet Yang Cheng's mother. She was afraid that what if she didn't like her? Moreover, as the third party, it was very likely that she didn't like her. She might even scold her for being a scourge …
This was Anxin thinking too much. With Guo Xuehua's upbringing, even if she clearly thought that way, she would not say such harsh words to a young girl.
"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely go …" Even though Anxin was afraid, she did not dare to reject. To be honest, she also hoped to see Yang Cheng come out from the police station. Otherwise, Anxin would not be able to protect Anxin.
After hanging up the phone, Guo Xuehua said to Mother Wang in the kitchen, "Yulan, I will go out to do something. Just make something simple for lunch. Don't wait for me. Zhenxiu will make something delicious for dinner when she comes back."
Yulan was naturally Mother Wang's real name. Mother Wang also knew that Guo Xuehua had to take care of some work on a daily basis. Thus, she did not suspect much and responded.
Naturally, Guo Xuehua would not let Wang Yulan and Zhenxiu know that Yang Cheng was arrested. As long as she brought Yang Cheng out, there would be no problem.
After walking out of the door, Guo Xuehua took out her phone. Although she felt that as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang Family, it should not be a problem to go to the police station and bring Yang Cheng back, for the sake of safety, she still needed to find out the specific reason why he was arrested.
The most important person in Zhonghai that she knew was naturally her husband, Yang Pojun. However, Guo Xuehua would not take the initiative to call that man. Ever since the incident where Yan Buxue insulted Yang Cheng and Yang Pojun did not care about it, Guo Xuehua hated that man from the bottom of her heart. How could she easily ask Yang Pojun for help?
Therefore, Guo Xuehua called Yang Jieyu, her sister-in-law. After all, Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu controlled the biggest Yuan Family in Zhonghai. They could be said to be the most powerful local tyrant in Zhonghai. All the forces in Zhonghai would have to show some respect to them.
Of course, there was another reason why Guo Xuehua did this. Her sister-in-law, Yang Jieyu, was a very protective person. She was much more compassionate than Yang Pojun. If she knew that Yang Cheng's nephew was arrested, even if she and her husband could not rescue Yang Cheng in a short time, she would definitely contact her father in Beijing, Yang Gongming!
Guo Xuehua knew that as a daughter-in-law, she did not do enough for her father-in-law. Therefore, she did not dare to be thick-skinned and beg Yang Gongming for her son. Therefore, she thought of asking Yang Jieyu to inform the old man.
Yang Gongming acknowledged this grandson and also felt guilty about it. As long as Yang Gongming took action, Guo Xuehua believed that no one would dare to touch Yang Cheng. Although she did not know the strength of her father-in-law, she knew that Yang Gongming was not as simple as he seemed to be based on the fact that the Yang Family was still one of the four big families in Beijing.
