These two lines came from Du Fu's poem, "The Arrival of a Guest". Although Yang Cheng had never been to school, he had a photographic memory, which allowed him to easily remember all the information he had collected over the years.
The gist of it was that the owner had never swept the flower path for a guest, but today he did it for you. The wooden door had never been opened for a guest, but today he opened it for you.
The implication was self-evident. Yang Gongming was expressing his sincerity and hoped that he would return to his roots.
It wasn't that Yang Cheng didn't think of the benefits of returning to the Yang Family, but he would have to face Yang Pojun and Yang Lie once he returned to the Yang Family. Yang Cheng wasn't so shameless as to build a good relationship with them. If it wasn't for Guo Xuehua and Yang Gongming stopping him, or if it was Yan Sanniang, Yang Cheng couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't have killed them.
Yang Cheng suddenly missed Lin Ruoxi, who was far away in Zhonghai. Little Sister Lin was always there to remind him about family matters. Unfortunately, she wasn't by his side.
Alone in the pavilion, Yang Chen stared at the two lines of the poem for a long time. Yang Chen put away the scroll in his hand, and slowly descended the mountain. He found a bus to enter the city, and then called a taxi to return to the Cai residence.
Although he could return to the Cai Family in the blink of an eye if he used his cultivation, Yang Cheng didn't want to do so. He wasn't in a hurry, and he didn't want to keep appearing like a ghost.
He believed that if Yan Sanniang didn't have to hurry to the Cai Family to prove Yang Cheng's identity, she would have taken the normal route.
Living in a society of ordinary people, Yang Cheng didn't think teleportation was something worth bragging about. Instead, it would cause him to lose the taste of life. Just like a super-rich man, he wouldn't be satisfied until his clothes were worth hundreds of millions. That was just something a nouveau riche would do.
By the time he returned to the Cai family, it was already evening. Under the setting sun, the Cai family's courtyard was dyed red.
When Yang Cheng walked into the living room, he saw his mother-in-law, Jiang Shan, and Cai Yuncheng discussing something on the sofa. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Just being with Choi Yeon was enough to make her fly into a rage. Now that Cai Ning was with him, his mother wouldn't chase after him with a kitchen knife, would she?
"Aiyo, Yang Cheng, what took you so long? I was worried about where you went!" Jiang Shan suddenly stood up with a radiant smile on her face and cheerfully walked up to Yang Cheng. She looked at Yang Cheng with a face full of joy and said, "Don't tell me you're still angry at Auntie? At most, Auntie will make you some delicious food to accompany you. We're a family, and you're a man, so don't be too petty."
Yang Cheng was dumbfounded. It was as if he had swallowed a fly. After a long time, he slapped his face to confirm that he wasn't dreaming. Then, he smiled and said, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Jiang Shan suddenly rolled her eyes at him. "What's wrong? Who asked you to treat yourself as an outsider and not explain the situation? I was just complaining that you didn't treat us as a family! "
"Ah?" Yang Cheng was even more confused.
Jiang Shan ignored his confusion and said with a smile, "Look at your silly face. You look quite honest. Although you're a bit fickle, you're still an honest child. As the mother of Ning Er and Yeonyeon, I agree. But you have to treat them well. Don't mistreat my daughters, understand?"
Yang Cheng's jaw dropped. To be honest, even if Ares, the animal that only knew how to fight, came to him and said that he wanted to "turn over a new leaf," Yang Cheng wouldn't be so surprised.
Jiang Shan seemed to like Yang Cheng more and more. In the end, she even patted Yang Cheng's shoulder like an elder and said, "I'll go make dinner. I'll make something delicious for you guys. You can accompany your uncle for a while, haha …"
Watching Jiang Shan leave, Yang Cheng's legs nearly gave way …
Cai Yuncheng helplessly watched his wife walk to the kitchen and shook his head. Then, he saw Yang Cheng's blank face and sighed. "Are you so happy that you've turned silly, or are you scared silly?"
Yang Cheng swallowed his saliva. "Both."
"Don't be surprised. When you went out just now, Li Xin and his wife came back and bumped into your auntie. They said that the engagement was canceled and that the military court would be settled. They wouldn't let Ning Er feel the slightest burden. They also said that the relationship between the two families should be closer in the future.
Your auntie became like this because she knew about your identity in the Yang Family. Sigh … I couldn't tell when I was young. Now, I can only regret marrying such a woman. "Cai Yuncheng's face was filled with regret.
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes. "Is the identity of the Yang Family really that useful?"
"Of course." Cai Yuncheng seemed to have found an opportunity and added fuel to the fire. "You left Hua Xia when you were young, so you don't know the influence of the four major families. In Beijing, anyone who is related to the four major families is not someone that ordinary people can afford to offend. Just look at the standing committee of the Politburo. Apart from the General Secretary, who has always been impartial and won't let anyone from the four major families take the position, all of them are affiliated with one of the major families. It can be said that most of the major decisions in Hua Xia are made by the four major families.
Although your auntie is a woman, she was born and raised in Beijing. She knows that if you are the eldest grandson of the Yang Family and inherit the Yang Family in the future, you will have a lot of power. Furthermore, it's not a secret for someone standing at the top of the pyramid to have a few wives and concubines. After all, the Yang Family has the smallest number of people, so they have always hoped to expand their family. "
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose. He had to admit that just the benefits of being able to relax his love life made him very tempted. It seemed that he really had to find an opportunity to return to the Yang Family.
As for how Cai Ning's matter was resolved so easily, he was also surprised. However, it was still a good thing that he didn't have to do anything.
Just when Yang Cheng was about to sit down and chat with Cai Yuncheng, he saw Cai Ning and Choi Yeon walking out from the back. Looking at how close the two sisters were, Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Choi Yeon didn't restrain herself because of her father's presence. When she saw Yang Cheng, she immediately sat on Yang Cheng's lap and hooked her arms around Yang Cheng's neck. She smiled coquettishly. "Pervert, let's go out for dinner!"
Yang Cheng looked awkwardly at Cai Yuncheng, who was frowning, and then at Cai Ning, who was standing by the side with a smile. "Can't you be more reserved? I'm getting shy if you keep acting like this. Also, your mom is going to cook, why are we going out? "
"It's such a joyous day today, of course we have to go and celebrate. Don't tell me that you're so pitiful that you don't even have money in your wallet for dinner? It's fine, I'll pay for it." Choi Yeon stood up unwillingly and dragged Yang Cheng out of the door.
Yang Cheng couldn't dissuade this devil queen, so he turned around and asked Cai Ning, "You're going too?"
Cai Ning nodded. "Yeah, Yeonyeon said that she's going to celebrate me getting over the crisis."
Yang Cheng suddenly understood. That's a good reason.
Cai Yuncheng coughed and said to Choi Yeon sternly, "Just go out for dinner, don't cause trouble the moment you return to Beijing."
Choi Yeon made a face at her father. "Hmph, it's rare for me to return to Beijing, what trouble can I cause?"
Cai Yuncheng looked like he was powerless to discipline his daughter, so he waved his hand dejectedly, not stopping them.
The three of them went out and got into Yang Cheng's car. Choi Yeon scrambled to sit in the front passenger seat and said before buckling her seatbelt, "Search on the GPS, go to Sky Tower."
"Sky Tower? What kind of place is that? "Yang Cheng asked in confusion," A place to eat? What kind of dishes? "
Choi Yeon smiled innocently, "It's a place where you can eat and drink, sing and dance …"
Yang Cheng suddenly understood and rolled his eyes, "A nightclub?"
"Yeah … it should be a high-class club, but you can't enter without a membership card," Choi Yeon said proudly.
Yang Cheng said gloomily, "Then why did you lie to me that you're going to eat?"
"Are you stupid? I can't be bothered to lie to you. If I said we're going to a nightclub, my dad definitely wouldn't let us! And my dad doesn't like girls to drink, "Choi Yeon said bashfully.
"…"
Yang Cheng felt that maybe Choi Yeon shouldn't be Cai Ning's sister, but Tangtang.
But thinking about it carefully, he didn't have anything special to deal with with the Tang family's Tang Wan, and Cai Ning's matter had been resolved perfectly. Hui Lin had also visited him, so it was about time for him to return to Zhonghai. Before leaving Beijing, he might as well take it as a break.
On the way there, Yang Cheng asked curiously, "What did you two talk about the whole afternoon?"
Choi Yeon smiled, "Do you want to know?"
Yang Cheng nodded vigorously.
"I'm not telling you," Choi Yeon wrinkled her nose.
Yang Cheng was embarrassed, so he turned around and signaled Cai Ning with his eyes, "If the younger sister doesn't want to tell, the older sister will."
Unexpectedly, Cai Ning looked out of the car window and didn't even look at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng suddenly became worried. Were these two sisters plotting against him in the future? It seemed like he had to make the first move and find a chance to drag them to bed together …
Just like that, the three of them followed the GPS and arrived at the spacious parking lot in front of the Sky Tower.
It was impossible to open a nightclub in Beijing without a strong relationship with the higher-ups. Just the parking lot alone was expensive, so one could imagine how luxurious it would be.
The car drove directly to the entrance of the nightclub, and a waiter opened the door and helped them park the car. Choi Yeon seemed to be a frequent visitor, so she casually gave the waiter a hundred yuan tip.
Yang Cheng chuckled, "Tell me the truth, Director Cai has been embezzling a lot of money, right?"
Choi Yeon went up to hold Yang Cheng's arm and said innocently, "Dear, won't you reimburse me for all the money I spend? I'm already yours, so it's not too much, right?"
Yang Cheng's facial muscles twitched. He looked at Cai Ning, who seemed to be trying to hold back her laughter, and said, "Ning Er, why don't you hold my other arm? It's the same money anyway."
Cai Ning couldn't bring herself to do such an intimate gesture, so she pursed her lips and walked through the door.
Unexpectedly, before she could take two steps, a man's voice came from behind …
"Wait! Wait! Let me follow you in! "
Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Cheng felt a headache coming on. He turned around and said, "Why are you so persistent?"
The man was Li Dun, dressed in a casual shirt. He didn't look like a high-class guy, but he was as energetic as ever. He smiled foolishly and said, "I just went to the Cai residence to look for you. I wanted to drink with you tonight, but you just happened to come out, so I chased after you. Hehe, this Sky Cloud Restaurant is so high class that I have to save my pocket money to chase after Tang Xin. Since someone is treating me, of course I have to follow. "
Yang Cheng had seen through Li Dun's miserly ways, so he ignored him.
Choi Yeon, however, recognized Li Dun. She snorted, "Young Master Li, if you want to eat, drink, and have fun, you can sign up for free. Why do you have to freeload off our Yang Cheng's hard-earned money?"
Yang Cheng almost fell to the ground. Great, now my money has become hard-earned money.
Li Dun was thick-skinned and didn't react at all. "I heard that Sister Cai Ning managed to get rid of my good-for-nothing cousin and got married again. Of course, I have to come to celebrate the wedding."
Looking at him, he seemed to be on Cai Ning's side instead of her cousin. Cai Ning was embarrassed by his words, and her calm face blushed.
After entering the building, they followed Choi Yeon's instructions and went straight to the largest dance hall downstairs. They wanted to find a place to enjoy the music and dance.
Cai Ning obviously wouldn't go down to dance, but she would often go to such places when she was on a mission, so she didn't feel uncomfortable.
When the four of them walked around the dance floor and arrived at a moon-white sofa, many men and women looked at them strangely. The biggest reason was naturally because of the Cai sisters' good looks. Even in a high-class clubhouse full of beautiful women, they still seemed to stand out.
But when some of the higher-ups realized that the man behind them was Li Dun, who rarely appeared in Yan Jin, they stopped paying attention to the beauties. There were many people from the four major families, but they didn't have many chances to meet the young master. Many of them even started rubbing their palms, trying to find a chance to get close to him without making him unhappy. As for Yang Cheng, everyone was unfamiliar with him, so they guessed that he might be a friend of the Li family from another province.
As soon as the four of them sat down, Cai Yan ordered a large amount of food and drinks. Then, she impatiently ran to the dance floor and moved her body along with some young men and women. She seemed extremely excited.
Seeing that Yang Cheng was in a daze, Cai Ning smiled and said, "You should know that Yeonyeon is very active, but when she was in Zhonghai, she was the police chief, so she couldn't go to nightclubs. She was afraid that people would say bad things about her, so she endured it. Every time she came back to Yan Jin, she would find time to go to nightclubs."
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he let Choi Yeon do as she pleased. Looking at the table full of drinks, desserts, and fruits, Yang Cheng rubbed his empty stomach and started eating.
He poured himself a full glass of whiskey and even asked the waiter for a steak. The revelry in his ears didn't affect his mood at all. Cai Ning quietly ate the grapes, not saying a word or going down to play.
Cai Ning silently ate the grapes in small bites. She didn't say anything, nor did she go down to play. It was as if she was in another world.
Yang Cheng chewed on the cake, looked at the woman for a while, and said, "Ning Er, go down and play with your sister. What's the point of watching us eat here?"
"I don't know how to," Cai Ning said, shaking her head.
"What's there to know? She's just randomly twisting her buttocks. Look at Yanyan's movements, she's just like a stupid bear. At least you're well-versed in Qinggong. Even a few random movements would look better than hers," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Cai Ning still shook her head, looking calm and relaxed.
Yang Cheng sighed, "Actually, I've been wanting to say that I'm already a prematurely aging person, but why do you look older than me? You're like an old granny. If you continue like this, you'll be completely outshone by your sister. "
Cai Ning asked doubtfully, "Why would I be outshone by Yeonyeon?"
"Tsk tsk," Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Speaking of this, you're quite confident."
"Isn't that so? Am I uglier than Yeonyeon and not as good looking as her?" Cai Ning looked a little unhappy. Obviously, she wasn't happy that Yang Cheng said she wasn't as good as Choi Yeon, even if it was her own sister.
Yang Cheng said, "At least there's one thing that Yeonyeon is good at, but you don't know it at all."
"What is it?" Cai Ning asked, blinking.
Even Li Dun, who was chewing on his steak, looked up curiously, licked his lips and looked at Yang Cheng, wanting to listen.
Yang Cheng put down the thing in his hand, moved closer to Cai Ning's ear, and said softly, "Baby, do you know how to act coquettishly?"
