"Do you know why I hit you?" Qiangwei asked coldly.
Chen Rong bit her lip and held back her tears. "I … I shouldn't have pleaded for Lei Zhen. He deserved it."
"Of course you should. He's one of the founding members of the society. There are bound to be people who will plead for him," Qiangwei said.
Chen Rong was taken aback. She clearly didn't know why.
Qiangwei said slowly, "Don't tell me you don't know what Gao Yue, the person in charge of the Green Dragon Society in Zhonghai, did."
A trace of panic flashed across Chen Rong's eyes. She immediately understood what Rose was referring to.
"Sister Qiangwei, listen to me. It's not what you think it is!"
"Explain?" Qiangwei chuckled. "I didn't ask you to be in charge of the cooperation with the Green Dragon Society. I didn't ask you to help the evildoer, nor did I ask you to make all the decisions on your own. The reason why the Red Thorns Society can dominate the whole of Zhonghai isn't because we're fearless. It's because the things we do don't cross the government's bottom line.
I just gave you some power, but you're even more ruthless than I am. Also, no matter what reason you have, why didn't you report it to me?! "
Chen Rong's face paled. Her body trembled. "I … I was thinking that Gao Yue is a high-ranking member of the Green Dragon Society. If I rejected his request, it would make our cooperation difficult. That's why I wanted to give them some benefits so that we can get closer … I … I wanted to tell you, but I didn't have the time … "
Chen Rong's voice became softer and softer. She clearly knew that she couldn't convince Qiangwei with such a reason.
Qiangwei's eyes were filled with regret. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. "You know, I've always had high hopes for you. Your learning ability is much better than mine when I was your age. However, it is precisely because I have high expectations for you that this time, my disappointment in you … is also deeper. "
Chen Rong couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She sobbed. "Sister Qiangwei … I'm … I'm sorry …"
"What do you have to be sorry for? I'm the one who gave you the power. I'm also responsible for not keeping an eye on you." Qiangwei smiled bitterly. "The ones you should apologize to are the university students who were harmed by Gao Yue, and the civilians who were bullied by Lei Zhen and his men."
Chen Rong nodded her head vigorously, but she could not speak as she sobbed. She did not know why she did those things that made her so regretful. Now that Rose had pointed it out, Chen Rong felt that she could not forgive herself!
"Rong Rong." Rose suddenly reached out and touched Chen Rong's face. It was red and swollen from the slap.
Chen Rong forced herself to raise her head. She looked at Qiangwei with tears in her eyes.
"Do you know how angry I was when I found out that someone from my Red Thorns Society was collecting protection fees here? Moreover, he was threatening and threatening people on the street. I was so angry … I just came out for a casual trip, and I ran into such a situation. It's easy to imagine how many people like this had happened in the past few months when I was not here! How many people think of us, the Red Thorns Society, as the scum of society?
We are from the underworld. Many people have always thought of us as the scum of society. Filth is our synonym. But, are we going to treat ourselves as a group of filthy people in this world? "
Chen Rong was disappointed. Ever since she decided to walk this path, she had always felt guilty. She even felt a little guilty when facing her only brother, Chen Bo.
However, after hearing Qiangwei's words, she realized that it wasn't that she was that deplorable. It was just that … she had never thought of accepting this society.
At this moment, Yang Cheng, who had been watching Qiangwei scold Chen Rong, walked up and said gently, "Alright, Qiangwei, stop lecturing her. Rong 'rong isn't a child. She'll understand what she needs to understand. You slapped her too hard. Look at my little sister. Her face isn't symmetrical anymore. "
Chen Rong looked at Yang Cheng gratefully. She didn't expect Yang Cheng to treat her so politely even after she had done something wrong.
Qiangwei nodded and smiled.
Yang Cheng looked at Chen Rong and said, "Rong 'rong, you've only been on the road for such a short time. It's understandable that you made a mistake. Anyone would be swayed when faced with a huge temptation that they didn't have before. Everyone would have dangerous thoughts. Right, Rong 'rong? "
Chen Rong rubbed her red and swollen eyes. "Thank you, Big Brother Yang. I know I was wrong."
"It's good that you know," Yang Cheng said, then changed the topic. "Let's forget about today's incident. I still have confidence in you. I believe that your Big Sister Qiangwei will groom you as her successor. But, Rong 'rong, you must remember that this kind of thing shouldn't happen again … "
Chen Rong hurriedly shook her head. "Absolutely not. I … I'll do my best to restrain them."
Yang Cheng smiled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. "I'm your brother's friend. You're his sister. I should take care of you. Besides, I was the one who sent you to Qiangwei. But, Rong 'rong, you must remember that if one day you do something unforgivable … your Big Sister Qiangwei might be soft-hearted toward you. Just like today, she only slapped you once.
But … I, your Big Brother Yang, will send you straight to hell. Your brother won't be able to save you … "
Chen Rong felt as if her entire body, including her bones, had been stuffed with ice cubes. Her entire body felt cold!
She could feel that Yang Cheng wasn't just scaring her. This man who had just comforted her gently, if she did something wrong again, he would mercilessly kill her …
Yang Cheng didn't say anything else. He pulled Qiangwei's hand and turned to say goodbye to Old Li.
Old Li was already scared stiff. His mind was in turmoil. He finally realized that Yang Cheng wasn't as simple as he thought. It wasn't because Yang Cheng had married a powerful wife that changed him, but because Yang Cheng himself had unimaginable power!
Old Li was drenched in cold sweat as he thought about how he had stopped Yang Chen from interacting with his daughter in the past. If not for Yang Chen's consideration of their age difference, he and his wife would have been killed by now!
His mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts. Old Li didn't realize that Yang Cheng was saying goodbye to him. In a daze, he saw Yang Cheng pulling Qiangwei away.
Chen Rong stood in a daze on the empty street due to the commotion. Under the dim light of the night, her shadow flickered.
On the way back to the parking lot, Qiangwei held Yang Cheng's hand and said quietly, "You didn't have to scare her like that. That child knows what to do."
Yang Cheng turned his head and said bluntly, "Who told you that I was scaring her?"
Qiangwei was startled, "You … Will you really kill her?"
"If I give her a chance, but she still wants to go down the wrong path, then I, the person who sent her on this path, naturally have the right to take everything away." Yang Cheng said, "Of course, I also believe that she won't make any more mistakes."
Qiangwei nodded, but her eyes were filled with worry for Chen Rong. In her heart, she still regarded Chen Rong as her own sister, but she also knew that Yang Cheng's intentions wouldn't change.
After half a day, Qiangwei was also tired. Yang Cheng drove her home, but he didn't have much affection for her and ran back to his own home.
In the living room, Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang were watching Korean dramas together, but Lin Ruoxi just so happened to not be there. He guessed that she was either in the study room or back to the company to deal with urgent matters. This made Yang Cheng heave a sigh of relief. He had been suppressed by Lin Ruoxi these past few days.
On the TV screen, the female lead was being slapped by her mother-in-law, crying out in grievance.
Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang were full of sympathy and pity, as if the one being slapped was their daughter.
Yang Cheng sighed helplessly. He didn't disturb the two elders and slowly walked back upstairs to his room. He planned to take a shower and go to bed early.
Just as he was about to take off his clothes and go to the bathroom, he felt his phone vibrate. Yang Cheng picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Yang Cheng frowned, thinking that it was most likely a mistake, but he still picked it up.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Lying on the bed, Yang Cheng said lazily.
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone. Suddenly, a gentle and familiar voice was heard.
"Brother … Brother Yang …"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng was happy. He laughed and said, "I thought it was a mistake. It's Hui Lin. Tsk tsk, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is this your number?"
After Hui Lin won first place in Star of Yu Lei, she didn't return home. The company had arranged a full schedule for her. Taking advantage of the popularity of Star of Yu Lei, she naturally had to go to various places to promote, meet and greet her fans.
Moreover, Hui Lin's unique voice and innate talent in music had attracted a large number of music producers to provide her with works. Her new album was also in the midst of preparation. Just recording the songs was a big project. Naturally, she didn't have the time to go home to 'visit family'.
Hui Lin replied, "This is a new number. I asked my manager, Sister Jenny, to buy it for me."
Yang Cheng still didn't know that Hui Lin's manager was called Jenny. He was really a director. He asked, "I didn't see you at the company. Where are you now? What are you busy with?"
"I'm back in Beijing. I'll be in the recording studio recording my new album," Hui Lin asked softly, "Brother Yang … Sister, Aunt Guo, Mother Wang, and Zhenxiu, how is everyone?"
Yang Chen felt a little sad as he listened. The girl had lived in this house for so many days that they had developed feelings for each other. All of a sudden, she left for another city. Although Beijing was her real hometown, there were only staff around her. It was quite lonely. Abbess Yun Miao was also a Daoist nun. She was busy with the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. Now that Lin Zhiguo left, she had to take over the Lin clan. How could she have the time to take care of her granddaughter?
"Everyone is fine. I'm here. What else can happen?" Yang Cheng comforted her. "As for you, if there's anything you're not satisfied with, give me a call immediately. I'll help you solve it immediately. Don't let yourself be wronged. You're a superstar, not a punching bag, understand? "
Yang Cheng was most worried that Hui Lin would be too honest. If she was bullied by some weird people in the entertainment industry, it would be too unfair to her. If Lin Ruoxi knew about this, she would definitely be heartbroken.
"Thank you, Brother Yang. Then … does that mean that I can call you more often in the future?" Huilin replied happily, "Thank you, Brother Yang.
Yang Cheng was stunned. He smiled and said, "Of course you can. You're a busy person, but I'm not. As long as you're free, you can call me even in the middle of the night."
Hui Lin was even happier. She asked again, "Then … will Brother Yang come to Beijing to see me?"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng felt that it was really a coincidence. He said, "Now that you mention it, I just remembered that I'm going to Beijing soon. I'll probably be staying there for a long time, so I'll definitely go and see you. No matter what, you're the future star of our company. As your boss, I have to check on the progress of your work. "
Hearing this, Hui Lin giggled on the phone. She hesitated and asked, "Will Elder Sister and the others come too?"
"This …" Yang Cheng thought that going to Beijing was to talk to the Cai Family about Choi Yeon. Wouldn't it be courting death if he brought Lin Ruoxi there? So he said, "I'll go by myself. Why? Will you only be happy if your elder sister is there?"
Hui Lin quickly said, "No, no, it's fine if Elder Sister is busy with work. I'll be very happy if Brother Yang comes. When the time comes, I can bring Brother Yang to our house. Grandma is also staying in Beijing now. She should be happy to see Brother Yang! "
Yang Cheng broke out in cold sweat. "It's still early now. We'll talk about it later …"
Why would he look for Yun Miao? What if she asks him to marry Hui Lin again?
But … Yang Cheng could vaguely feel that Hui Lin seemed to be interested in him. But he couldn't be cruel and draw a line with her. This man was really hard to deal with.
After chatting for a while and giving some encouragement and comfort to Hui Lin, the call ended.
In the end, Yang Cheng suddenly thought that he didn't know if Hui Lin had called everyone or just him. But he couldn't ask her. If she really only called him, it would be even more troublesome.
Yang Cheng couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. He got up from the bed and quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of briefs. He planned to take a shower in the bathroom.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone approaching from outside the door.
Yang Cheng was stunned. From the sound of the footsteps, it shouldn't be Lin Ruoxi. He was still wondering if it was Mother Wang or Guo Xuehua when the door was pushed open!
Yang Cheng had always been too lazy to lock the door. He didn't think that there was a need to lock the door at home. But he didn't expect someone to open the door without even asking!
He saw a smiling Guo Xuehua standing at the door. Her face changed from a smile to shock, then to a weird expression. Finally, there was a hint of awkwardness, but she didn't move away.
Yang Cheng was embarrassed and blushed. "Mom, why didn't you knock before coming in?"
Guo Xuehua said teasingly, "There's nothing shameful about it. We're all family. Isn't it just taking off your clothes? I'm your mom. Can't I see it?"
Yang Cheng thought to himself, 'No wonder Ning Guangyao didn't choose you back then. He chose his mother-in-law. It seems like my mom is a bit of a pervert.'
Of course, he didn't dare to say this out loud. Yang Cheng couldn't be bothered to hide it either. He chuckled and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Mom, if you have something to say, just say it."
"I won't beat around the bush. Since Ruoxi isn't home, I want to ask you if you've talked to your mother-in-law about the time and place. It's better to meet her sooner rather than later." Guo Xuehua was still a little worried.
Yang Cheng of course agreed. He explained Ma Guifang's intention and asked Guo Xuehua to choose the time and place.
Guo Xuehua listened and nodded. She thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it tomorrow. Ruoxi has gone to work and won't be home. I don't have to worry about going out. I really feel like my mother-in-law is like a spy. On one hand, I have to hide it from my daughter-in-law, and on the other hand, I have to help you swindle people. Forget it, let's choose the Longjing Teahouse on North Ring Road. Let's have some tea and lunch together. "
Yang Cheng smiled shamelessly. He didn't think it was a problem. He didn't have to go to work anyway. He agreed to pick up Ma Guifang and Guo Xuehua drove there herself.
It was a little ridiculous. They were actually living next door, but Yang Cheng was too embarrassed to say it. He was afraid that Guo Xuehua would find out that his two lovers were living next door. It was a little hard for her to accept it, so he decided to explain it in detail when they met.
