The originally meticulously planned meeting ended before it even began.
Yang Cheng was distressed to find out that the problem between him and Mo Qianni was the biggest headache for him.
Mo Qianni's background couldn't be compared to Choi Yeon, Anxin, or Liu Mingyu. She was just an ordinary white-collar worker in the city. Because of this, his relationship with her was the most simple and ordinary.
How could the parents of an ordinary family accept their daughter brazenly becoming someone else's mistress? This was unimaginable, and it was also despised by the world.
Because in Ma Guifang's eyes, her daughter should do her job and get married safely, Mo Qianni's special feelings were strictly stopped.
Yang Cheng had a body full of martial arts and countless wealth, but he couldn't use these to ask others to send their daughter to him, because he didn't want to "buy" a woman, and he didn't want to "snatch" a woman.
If he couldn't get Ma Guifang to agree, Yang Cheng knew that even if Mo Qianni did end up with him, she would be full of regret for the rest of her life.
Thinking about these troublesome things, Yang Cheng wasn't in the mood to go to work. After sending Guo Xuehua home, he drove alone and wandered aimlessly in the car.
When the car drove to a river in the city, Yang Cheng suddenly remembered that this was the river where he met Tang Wan for the first time. That day, he was returning to the rented house from Old Li's house.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
Parking the car under the shade of a tree, Yang Cheng got out of the car, walked to the river, and found a chair to sit down.
It was noon, and there weren't many people by the river. Yang Cheng bought two packs of cigarettes from a small shop, found a chair for tourists to rest on, and sat down alone. Looking at the not-so-clear river, he puffed out smoke rings and stared at it in a daze.
In his mind, Ma Guifang's sharp words and Mo Qianni's helpless and sad appearance appeared over and over again. Yang Cheng felt a tightness in his chest, but he couldn't get rid of it.
Yang Cheng bitterly realized that no matter what realm his cultivation was promoted to, the word "love" was always an unavoidable wall. It seemed that it would extend infinitely. No matter what realm you jumped to, it would always limit you not far away.
It was a kind of protection, a sense of security, and also a kind of barrier.
Just as Yang Cheng finished smoking the first pack of cigarettes and was about to open another pack, his mobile phone vibrated.
Yang Cheng thought it was Guo Xuehua who was worried about him, but he found that it was Jane who was calling.
Picking up the phone, Yang Chen tried his best to sound relaxed. "Our great scientist, do you have any instructions from Miss Jane? Why are you calling me at lunchtime?"
Jane giggled, "I wouldn't dare to instruct you. I'm just reporting that I've arrived at the airport, and I'm about to board the plane back to England."
Yang Cheng was stunned. "That's sudden. Everything's been resolved?"
"Of course. I've already analyzed the poison in Master Tang's body. There's no point in staying in Hua Xia, and you don't have time to accompany me," said Jane, feeling wronged.
Yang Cheng sweated. "No matter what, I have to thank you. Why didn't you let me send you off? You were in such a hurry to leave. "
Jane said, "I wasn't in a hurry to leave. I was prepared to leave. However, there's nothing special about you sending me off. It's not like you're going to give me a goodbye kiss. I thought about it, and I can't bear to see you off. I might as well not see you off. I don't need you to send me off as a friend. If you have a conscience, you can always visit me in Europe. "
Yang Cheng smiled awkwardly. Indeed, he would only be able to wave goodbye to Jane when he went to the airport.
Jane seemed to be able to see Yang Cheng's embarrassment. She smiled and said, "Oh right, let me tell you, Hannya will be leaving with me. Before I leave Hua Xia, I'll be safe with her by my side. You don't mind using your subordinates, do you?"
"Of course not." Yang Cheng remembered that he had told Hannya to return to Japan. It wasn't a bad idea for her to follow Jane. In any case, she shouldn't stay in Hua Xia and make the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade suspicious.
After saying goodbye to Jane, Yang Cheng felt guilty. It would be a lie to say that he didn't like a beautiful girl like Jane who was loyal to him. However, he had watched her grow up, and he had an ambiguous relationship with Catherine. If he really touched Jane, he would feel like he was taking advantage of her, and it wouldn't be fair to the mother and daughter — even if they didn't think so.
All kinds of complex emotional factors, coupled with his own emotional debt, made Yang Cheng not dare to open his heart to Jane rashly. He could only avoid her as much as he could and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
However, Jane's call reminded Yang Cheng that he was in such a mess now. Why not talk to Tang Wan? Tang Wan was indeed a good person to talk to.
So, Yang Cheng found Tang Wan's cell phone number and dialed it. It was also rare for him to take the initiative to call a woman.
The phone was quickly connected. Tang Wan's soft voice was particularly charming on the phone. "I was going to call you if you didn't call. You know that Miss Jane returned to England, right? She didn't let me tell you before."
Yang Cheng responded, "I've finished talking to her. As for you, Old Master Tang's condition is better, and the toxins have been analyzed. You should be relieved. "
"I'm in a good mood now. I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. I really want to thank you. You may not know how important grandpa is to me and the Tang family. As long as he is healthy, I feel that I have a backbone. " Tang Wan smiled and said, "I was going to treat you to a good meal, but I have to go back to Yan Jing with grandpa tomorrow. Grandpa said that he would go back to hold a family meeting, so I have to attend, so I have to wait until next time."
"You also have to go?" Yang Cheng was depressed.
Tang Wan laughed and said, "Why? You seem to be very reluctant to leave me. It seems that … you still care about me."
Yang Cheng's old face was a little red. Fortunately, the phone could not be seen. "Why do you have to hold a family meeting? Are you going to take Tangtang with you?"
Tang Wan said, "During the period when grandpa was sick, there were all kinds of rumors in the family and there was a split. Of course, we have to reorganize. Tangtang has also grown up and is a descendant of the Tang family. Even if she marries into the Yang Family in the future, she will still be a part of the Tang family. Of course, she has to go back and attend. That child is very smart and especially clings to her great grandpa. She knows that my grandpa can give her benefits. "
Yang Cheng felt uncomfortable and said, "What do you mean by marrying into the Yang Family? She is marrying Yuan Ye, a member of the Yuan family."
"Isn't the Yuan family a branch of the Yang Family?" Tang Wan paused and said, "Yang Cheng, don't blame me for being straightforward. I didn't want to mention this at first, but I don't think there is anything to avoid. If I pretend not to know, we will be too unfamiliar. As far as I know, Old Yang cares more about you than Yang Lie. You have to perform well. Who knows, maybe in the future, the Yang Family will be handed over to you … "
Yang Cheng originally wanted to talk to Tang Wan about Mo Qianni. He didn't expect that Tang Wan would suddenly mention the Yang Family.
"I have no interest in the Yang Family," Yang Cheng said with a light smile.
"It's not as simple as you think," Tang Wan said earnestly, "Perhaps you do have extraordinary strength, but in Hua Xia, there must be a reason why the four major families can control Beijing for so long. Although I am one of the successors of the Tang Family, I vaguely know that the Tang Family is not as simple as just doing business. I believe … that the Yang Family is not as simple as just controlling a portion of the military.
Moreover, think about it, if you plan to continue living in Hua Xia, then an additional identity as a member of the Yang Family will only bring you a lot of convenience. At the very least, there won't be any blind people who will provoke you or touch the people around you, right? Also, I know that your mother is with you now and hasn't returned to the Yang Family, but do you really think that your mother likes to be separated from her family? If you can enter the Yang Family, then everything will be under your control. Many things will become justifiable … "
Yang Chen's eyes lit up. An absurd idea popped up in his mind …
If he could become the head of the Yang Family, then it would be much easier for him to have more than one woman by his side. It wasn't that such a thing could be publicized, but with his identity as the head of the Yang Family, having more than one woman was also a reflection of his strength. If others wanted to say anything, they could only do it in secret. In this way, his women wouldn't have too many troubles, and many people would even envy them.
Actually, if it was abroad, Yang Cheng didn't need the identity of the Yang Family at all, and no one would dare to say anything. However, the problem was that he was going to live in Hua Xia in the future, so he couldn't use his "fierce reputation" abroad to do things.
If this was in the past, it definitely wouldn't work. Back then, when he was separated from Guo Xuehua, it was because Guo Xuehua was pregnant out of wedlock and it was a disgrace to the family's reputation, so he sent him to the orphanage.
But now, the world had changed. Those with power and money, not to mention getting pregnant out of wedlock, even if they brazenly had an affair, no one would dare to say anything.
Therefore, there were two sides to everything. In this world, people's hearts weren't as they used to be, but it also made it convenient for Yang Cheng to find another way.
Of course, this was just an idea. If he really wanted to do it, it would be quite difficult for Yang Cheng. Not to mention that he was just an outsider who had just returned to Hua Xia for two years, without any foundation, and also carrying a "notorious reputation", even if Yang Gongming was willing to give the position of the head of the Yang Family to him, it was still a problem whether other people would approve of it or not.
Moreover, if he became the head of the family, could he really keep all the women by his side without any scruples? If the women were willing, then what about others? For example, his mother-in-law, Ma Guifang …
