After a night of heavy rain, the lush greenery in the courtyard seemed exceptionally cold. Water droplets were dripping from the green leaves and the intricate grass was filled with crystals.
The main door of the bungalow was pushed open from the inside. Guo Xuehua, who was wearing a light brown sweater, walked out and looked in the direction of the big iron gate.
She didn't sleep well last night and her complexion was a little ugly with dark circles under her eyes. However, Guo Xuehua couldn't care less. Yang Cheng didn't come home for the whole night and no one told her that he was found. Guo Xuehua couldn't feel at ease.
Mother Wang walked out of the house and sighed tiredly. She said with concern, "Xuehua, I made some porridge. Go and have some. It's cold outside so early in the morning. It's not good to keep standing."
"Yulan, where do you think Yang Cheng went? There are so many people looking for him in Zhonghai. Why can't they find him?" Guo Xuehua was frustrated and didn't have the appetite to eat the porridge.
This was her flesh and blood that she had lost for more than twenty years and found again! If she wasn't mentally strong, she would have been bedridden by now.
Wang Ma had a bitter expression on her face. "Although I don't have a child, I know that it must be hard for you. But although the son-in-law didn't come back, no one said anything happened to the son-in-law. If the son-in-law came back and you collapsed, the son-in-law wouldn't feel good either."
"I also know that it's useless to wait like this, but I'm not just feeling bad. My heart is breaking." An indescribable sadness appeared on Guo Xuehua's face.
Mother Wang smiled wryly and helplessly. "What a mess. Why do such troublesome things always happen in our family? However, it's fortunate that Zhenxiu is staying in school these few days. If this happened when she came home, based on the relationship between Zhenxiu and Young Master, she would probably jump up and down and the family wouldn't have any peace. "
Guo Xuehua was stunned. She frowned and said, "By the way, I'm confused. Zhenxiu didn't come back last night. Did she stay at school?"
Mother Wang nodded and said with heartache, "You called me after you left. You said that you're going to do intensive revision or something in school these few days. The entire third year of high school is staying at school. I don't know what the school is doing. They're always doing intensive training. They're all studying, and they're even more tired than working."
Guo Xuehua forced a smile and said, "Of course, students who are going to take the college entrance examination will be more tired. But when they start working in the future, they might really miss these days. Actually, sometimes when I look at Zhenxiu, I often think that if our Yang Cheng was also at home and went to school like other children, I would also be like other mothers, urging my child to go to school properly and finish his homework.
Thinking about it carefully, those days must have been very meaningful, watching the children grow up day by day and understand more and more.
But whether it's Yang Cheng or my youngest son, Yang Lie, one disappeared when he was young, and the other went to learn from his master, I couldn't take good care of them. Speaking of which, I'm really not a good mother. I want to use the rest of my time to make it up to them. At least I could see Lie often when he was young, but I couldn't take care of Yang Cheng at all. "
"No wonder you treat Zhenxiu like a daughter. It seems that you've never tasted what it's like to take care of a child, so you're using Zhenxiu to make up for it," Mother Wang said jokingly.
Guo Xuehua smiled faintly, but the worry between her brows didn't dissipate.
The two of them looked at the door for a while, but no one came back. They could only turn around and go back into the house. But just as they were about to close the door, someone knocked on the big iron door outside …
When Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang heard that, they immediately ran out. Indeed, there was a figure standing outside the door, knocking on the iron door from time to time, making "bang bang" sounds.
With one look, Guo Xuehua's eyes turned red, and tears of joy instantly came out. The person who came back was Yang Cheng!
"Son-in-law!"
Mother Wang was also surprised. She quickly pulled Guo Xuehua to the door and opened the iron door for Yang Cheng excitedly.
When they got closer to take a closer look, Guo Xuehua's tears fell uncontrollably, because the current Yang Cheng was really too "tragic".
His short-sleeved shirt and shorts were full of grass and mud stains. Many parts of his clothes were wet and had not dried yet. His hair was like a bird's nest, and there were some mud stains on his face. His sneakers were also full of mud, and there were even some yellow mud spots on his calves, which should have been caused by the muddy water.
It was such a homeless man's attire that made Yang Cheng, who wasn't considered a handsome guy, look like he had a mental illness. But he didn't feel anything at all, and he was smiling foolishly at the two elders. He was in an unusually good mood.
"Mom, Mother Wang, I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery, and then I ran into something and forgot the time. Please don't be angry at me for the sake of my embarrassment!" Yang Cheng scratched his bird 's-nest hair and winked at them.
Looking at her son who was smiling without a care in the world, Guo Xuehua pouted and hugged him. She cried for a while, then used her fist to hit Yang Cheng a few times, seemingly heavily, but actually lightly. She wiped her tears and said, "You little rascal, what could make you forget when you get home?! You obviously don't care about anyone at home! Do you know that I'm going crazy with worry?! "
Yang Chen allowed Guo Xuehua to hit him with her fists. Every time she hit him, he would feel a surge of sweetness in his heart. His lips curled into a smile. The feeling of being missed by his family made him feel guilty, but he enjoyed it at the same time.
After Guo Xuehua cried for a while, her emotions calmed down, and she didn't feel too sad anymore. Her son had returned home safely, and that was more important than anything else. So she didn't ask Yang Cheng anything else, and quickly pulled Yang Cheng back to the house.
When they were in the house, Guo Xuehua looked at Yang Cheng's "beggar's attire" and frowned. "Which mountain did you go to, and you got lost? How did it become like this? Didn't you drive to the airport? Where did you go? "
Yang Cheng didn't hide it and directly said, "I was going to the airport, but something happened, so I went to a wasteland outside the airport and stayed there for a night."
"Wasteland?" Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang were puzzled. "Why did you go to such a place?"
Yang Cheng thought about it for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know what I did. Someone talked to me about something, and I thought about something. After thinking about it, the night passed. In the end, the car broke down, and I had to run back slowly, treating it as my morning exercise. "
Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang didn't know what Yang Cheng was talking about, and from the looks of it, he didn't seem to be lying, but they couldn't understand what he was talking about.
"Young Master, why did you run back? Even if you didn't bring any money, you could have taken a taxi!" Mother Wang said with heartache.
Hearing those words, Yang Cheng felt depressed and indignant. "Mother Wang, you have no idea. Those taxi drivers thought that I was a beggar, and some even treated me as a lunatic, so they refused to let me in!"
Only then did the two of them realise that no one dared to drive Yang Cheng with his current attire. Even if they weren't afraid of dirtying the car, they were afraid of encountering a fugitive!
In the end, Guo Xuehua, who was left speechless, did not ask about her son's whereabouts. To her, it was fine as long as Yang Cheng was fine. Thus, she nudged Yang Cheng and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Go back and take a shower. Change your clothes and come down for breakfast. You must be hungry since you haven't eaten for a long time."
Looking at the steaming porridge and side dishes on the table, Yang Cheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Why don't we eat first?"
"No, how are you going to eat like this? Don't you see that the carpet is covered in mud?" Guo Xuehua didn't soften just because of Yang Cheng's pitiful look. She wouldn't give in to him just because she felt guilty. Furthermore, looking at Yang Cheng, he didn't look like he would faint if he didn't eat.
Yang Chen scratched his head. It didn't matter to him, so he ran back upstairs.
Suddenly, Guo Xuehua recalled something and said, "Oh right, Yang Cheng, did you know that Lu Min was killed?"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng didn't even turn his head. He waved his hand and said, "I know. Don't worry about it. They can think whatever they want."
Guo Xuehua was surprised. Lu Min was someone who made Yang Cheng go crazy to kill. She thought that he would have some reaction when he heard that Lu Min was killed. After all, those people must be trying to frame Yang Cheng. However, she didn't expect that Yang Cheng didn't care at all.
Watching Yang Cheng go back upstairs, Guo Xuehua thought for a while. She frowned and said to Mother Wang, "Yulan, why do I feel that Yang Cheng is a little … different from the others?"
Mother Wang was puzzled. "What's different? Isn't Young Master always like this? Although he is sloppy, he is still trustworthy when it comes to important matters. Didn't I tell you before that after Young Master and Miss got married, many problems in our family were solved. It was all thanks to Young Master."
Guo Xuehua shook her head and smiled. "That's not what I meant … I don't know if I'm being paranoid. I just feel that this kid is a little different. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm sure it's not a bad thing."
Mother Wang pursed her lips and smiled. "Only a mother like you can feel it. Could it be that this is the so-called 'Mother and Son are connected'?"
Knowing that Mother Wang was joking, Guo Xuehua rolled her eyes. Just when she was about to say something, she was stunned. "Aiya, look at my memory. I forgot to tell Yang Cheng that Anxin is sleeping in his room!"
Mother Wang was stunned. She had gone to bed earlier last night. She asked in surprise, "Xuehua, you let Miss Anxin sleep in Young Master's room?"
Guo Xuehua was a little embarrassed. After all, Mother Wang was her daughter-in-law, Lin Ruoxi's family. She nodded. "Yes, it was late last night. I couldn't bear to send Anxin out, so I let her sleep in our house. But it's not suitable for her to sleep in Ruoxi's or Zhenxiu's room, so I let her sleep in Yang Cheng's room. "
Mother Wang smiled bitterly. She didn't know what to say.
"It should be fine. Ruoxi is still in Europe. Anxin will go back after she sees Yang Cheng," Guo Xuehua added guiltily. But even she felt that it wasn't fair, not to mention that she was facing Mother Wang. In a way, she was Ruoxi's parent.
Wang Ma sighed and said, "It's not a matter of one night or several nights. Even if you and I don't say anything, Miss An's relationship with the son-in-law is obvious. Xuehua, first, it was Miss Qiangwei next door. Now, it's Miss Anxin. I've watched Miss Anxin grow up, and I know her character well. Sometimes, even ten bulls can't pull her back. If this goes on, what will you do as her mother-in-law? "
Guo Xuehua's heart was in a mess. She was happy that her son was back, but her son's lifestyle was a big problem.
At this moment, the house phone rang. Mother Wang walked over and picked it up. "Who is it?"
After a while, Mother Wang's expression became more complicated, and she said with some surprise, "Miss? You're home? "
