People often say that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although Yang Cheng didn't think his situation was bad enough, "fortune" was inevitable.
After he stood with the two sisters for a long time and couldn't speak, Choi Yeon suddenly wiped her tears and forcefully pushed herself out of the house.
In the end, Choi Yeon rolled her eyes at him with shame and said, "You got lucky. I have something to say to my sister. You better stay away from me, I don't want to see you!"
Yang Cheng was dumbfounded. What was going on? That was it?
However, Yang Chen felt that this was a good idea. It was better for him to slip away. Since the matter had been exposed and he was already hugging Cai Ning, it wasn't appropriate for him to run away. No matter what the two sisters were talking about, he just needed to ensure Cai Ning's safety.
Therefore, not long after, in the living room of the Cai family, Yang Cheng was lying on the sofa and watching the afternoon news with Cai Yuncheng while drinking Maofeng Tea.
But obviously, compared to Yang Cheng's happy mood, Cai Yuncheng had a lot on his mind.
The TV was broadcasting the hottest topic in the South China Sea. The conflict between Country F and Hua Xia continued to escalate. As an important military figure, Cai Yuncheng should be paying more attention. But at this moment, Cai Yuncheng's mind was completely elsewhere. He didn't even drink half a sip from the teacup in his hand.
Not long after, the news finished and the commercial began. Cai Yuncheng suddenly let out a sigh and said, "I really don't know if I should say hello or curse at you."
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Although I'm not a good son-in-law, I'm still useful compared to Yong Ye. What do you think, Lao Cai?"
Cai Yuncheng looked at this guy's shameless expression as if he was saying, "Your daughters belong to me." He couldn't help but smile bitterly. As long as Cai Ning and Choi Yeon could be happy, it was fine.
Born in such a big family and had the identity of the general of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, Cai Yuncheng didn't expect his daughters to live a normal life. At the very least, Yang Cheng's strength and identity were enough to handle the situation, so Cai Yuncheng didn't have much to complain about.
But thinking about his wife, Jiang Shan, who was still in a state of anger, he couldn't relax.
Just then, a servant suddenly rushed into the living room and said anxiously, "Master, not good! Li Xin and Guo Yali are here!"
Cai Yuncheng's expression tightened. He stood up and frowned. "So fast …"
Yang Chen found the name 'Li Xin' rather familiar. He asked, "Are they Yong Ye's parents?"
"Yes." Cai Yuncheng said helplessly, "You've humiliated Yong Ye and he's not a generous person. To him, it's like you stole his wife. Plus, he can't hide it from his parents, so he'll definitely go back and complain."
"Let's do it. Let's see what else they can do." Yang Chen waved his hand.
Cai Yuncheng gritted his teeth. "Easy for you. Li Xin and Guo Yali are the direct descendants of the Li and Guo clans, and they're both ministers. They're not easy to deal with … You … Sigh …"
Cai Yuncheng suddenly paused, as if he remembered something. He hesitated and pondered.
Yang Cheng saw that Cai Yuncheng was mumbling, but he didn't care. A middle-aged man wearing a striped shirt and a middle-aged woman wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses walked in together.
Both of them looked gloomy. When they saw Cai Yuncheng and Yang Cheng, their eyes looked like they were about to spit fire.
"General Cai, your Cai clan is so arrogant!" Li Xin said angrily, "What do you think my son is? You think he can come and go at your beck and call?! "
Cai Yuncheng smiled bitterly, "Brother Li, calm down. It's not that simple. My clan doesn't mean to look down on Yong Ye."
"Hmph! My son told me everything! Our Li clan doesn't dare to accept a daughter who hooks up with another man! But Cai Yuncheng, you've crossed the line! We were kind enough to help your daughter and that's why we proposed a marriage alliance. But you're biting the hand that fed you! You even let this bastard hurt my son! I, Guo Yali, will not let this go. Your daughter will be sentenced in the military court! "Guo Yali cursed and almost spat on Cai Yuncheng's face.
Cai Yuncheng quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, calm down. It's not as simple as you think. We really didn't mean to offend you. Besides, we're all on the same side. There's no need to fight over such a small matter. "
"On the same side?!" Guo Yali sneered, "How dare you say that! I think your Cai clan is treating this kid who came out of nowhere as one of your own! Let's settle this matter today. Not only will your daughter's appeal continue, but we'll also sue this kid for beating up our son! "
Yang Cheng looked at the aggressive couple and couldn't be bothered to say anything. He yawned and sat back on the sofa.
This action made Li Xin and his wife even more furious.
"Fine! What a bastard! Does he really think he's some big shot? Do you think you'll be fine with the Cai clan protecting you? The Cai clan can't even protect themselves! " Guo Yali laughed and said to her husband, "Let's go back. We'll leave the Cai clan alone. Let's see how long they can last!"
Cai Yuncheng hurriedly blocked their way and sighed. "Sister-in-law, I'll just call you Minister Guo. Do you know what the name of this brat you keep calling a 'bastard' is?"
"What does his name have to do with us?" Li Xin said disdainfully.
Cai Yuncheng clicked his tongue, "His surname is Yang Cheng."
Li Xin was fine with this, but Guo Yali was dumbfounded. She stood there with her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe it.
Li Xin sensed that something was wrong and turned to his wife, "Yali, what's wrong?"
Guo Yali's eyes showed a trace of panic. She turned her head again and carefully looked at Yang Cheng's face. Finally, she recognized something …
"You … you're Sister Xuehua's son?" Guo Yali asked tentatively.
Yang Chen finally thought of something and looked at Guo Yali in confusion. Sister Xuehua? Is she calling me mother?
Right, isn't this woman's surname Guo? Could it be …
Yang Cheng understood something, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stood up and said to the door, "You're here just in time. If you didn't come to me, I would've gone to you to ask some questions."
The three of them looked out in confusion. There was no one outside the front door of the living room.
Just when the three of them thought that Yang Cheng had gone crazy, an elderly figure appeared at the door in a blink of an eye.
She wore a plain cotton robe and her grey hair was tied up in a bun. Her face was wrinkled but she had a warm smile on her face. This old lady was Yang Gongmin's servant, Yan Sanniang!
Yan Sanniang's appearance was very strange. The helper outside did not come to report to them. It was obvious that she didn't enter from the main door. She managed to fool everyone except for Yang Cheng.
Cai Yuncheng furrowed his brows. He seemed to have seen this old lady before. Li Xin and Guo Yali obviously recognized her. They walked up to her and greeted her awkwardly.
"Aunt Yan, why are you here?" Guo Yali asked warmly with a fawning smile.
Yan Sanniang smiled at Cai Yuncheng politely as a form of greeting to the host. She then said, "Miss Yali, you're right. Yang Cheng is the eldest grandson of the Yang Family who was accidentally lost. He's also your cousin's biological son."
Although Guo Yali had already guessed what Cai Yuncheng meant, she was still dumbfounded when she heard it for herself.
Li Xin suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Yang Cheng in disbelief. His eyes were filled with regret.
Yang Chen touched his forehead gloomily. Alright, so this Guo Yali is my mother's cousin. But thinking about it carefully, it's easy to understand …
His mother went to school with Premier Ning Guangyao and married into the Yang Family. The Guo Family must have a high social status. Although his cousin Guo Yali wasn't as good, she was married to a direct descendant of the Li Family.
However, wouldn't this mean that he was Yong Ye's cousin?!
Not only did Yuan Ye appear out of nowhere, but now there's Yong Ye. Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Guo Yali sorted out her thoughts and came back to her senses. She said to Yang Chen with a flattering tone, "Seriously … so we're really a family. Since you're Sister Xuehua's son, I'm your aunt. Why didn't you say so earlier? Since that's the case, there's nothing else! "
Aunt? Yang Cheng didn't want to reject this woman's request. After all, she was Guo Xuehua's sister. He smiled.
"Yes, I heard that the Yang Family found you, but I didn't have the chance to meet you. It's really fate. Since you're our nephew, then it's like a flood against the temple of the Dragon King. Hehe … Miss Cai Ning has good taste. Yang Cheng, you're much more dependable than our Yong Ye! "Li Xin praised him, but his smile was as stiff as a rock.
Li Xin also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the Li Family wasn't afraid of the Yang Family, he was just a direct descendant of the Li Family. If he got into a conflict with the eldest grandson of the Yang Family because of him, the Li Family wouldn't fall out with the Yang Family because of him.
Moreover, the couple had heard that Yang Gongming from the Yang Family had gone to Jiangnan to meet his long-lost grandson, and Guo Xuehua had moved to Zhonghai.
With that, Yang Cheng's status had risen to a level that they didn't dare to provoke …
Because the couple were only in politics, they didn't know much about Yang Cheng's background. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to their son's aid just because of Yong Ye's simple complaint.
"If you're done, can you leave now?" Yang Cheng couldn't take it anymore when he saw the couple's ugly smiles.
Li Xin and his wife were embarrassed, but they knew they couldn't stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Cai Yuncheng, they bid farewell to Yan Sanniang.
They knew that Yan Sanniang, who was always by Yang Gongmin's side, had a higher status than Yang Pojun in the Yang Family, so they didn't dare to slight her.
After the couple left, Cai Yuncheng looked at Yan Sanniang. Ever since he took over the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, he had learned a lot about all kinds of strange people. He was sure that the old man in front of him wasn't just an ordinary expert. He asked hesitantly, "Elder … are you from the Yang Family?"
