At this moment, the atmosphere was suffocating. No one said anything, only their own complicated thoughts.
Hui Lin's lips curled into a gentle smile. "Brother Yang, are you trying to brush me off with such a small gift?"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Lin Ruoxi did not dare to continue listening. Could it be that Hui Lin had rejected him?! Was she really going to get involved in this mess?!
But before everyone could figure it out, Hui Lin took the priceless pair of Big Quinn's headphones from the Forest of Hades.
She rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng. "I'll accept it first. But I hope there are other gifts in the future. I'm a superstar, I can't be brushed off so easily."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they felt bitter.
Looking at Hui Lin's relaxed and bright smile, the bitterness in her eyes was obvious to everyone.
Lin Ruoxi's hands clutched the hem of her dress and she lowered her head in silence.
Yang Cheng sighed. Although he felt sorry for Hui Lin's kind intentions, how could he bear to accept her affection again?
This was a great blessing for him, but it was unfair to women. While he and Hui Lin did not have any romantic relationship, it was better to cut it off as soon as possible.
In the past, if a beautiful girl came to him, he would not reject her. But in the current situation, it was better to avoid her if possible.
After Yang Lie's tantrum, the mood to play for the whole day was gone.
Apart from Tangtang, the carefree child, everyone else seemed to have something on their minds. Naturally, they could not chat and laugh freely.
After chatting for a while, Tang Wan mentioned that she wanted to go back to the company. Naturally, Yang Cheng was not interested in staying any longer. He got up and left with his family.
Because he had to report to the sea, he patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder as a way of saying goodbye.
Yang Cheng was very grateful to this guy. If Li Dun had not started a fight with Yang Lie, Yang Cheng would not have been able to make a move.
"If it's too hard to get Tang Xin, give me a call. I'll help you." Yang Cheng smiled.
Li Dun was curious. "You can help with this?"
"I'm just comforting you so that you'll feel better after being dumped," said Yang Cheng.
Li Dun's face twitched, and he left with a bitter expression.
Then, Yang Chen drove the family back to the city.
In the car, apart from Hui Lin, who was sitting at the back with Zhenxiu, who had a blank look in her eyes, Guo Xuehua's expression was not good.
"Yang Cheng," Guo Xuehua said in embarrassment, "Tell me the truth, have I become a burden to you …"
Yang Cheng was taken aback. He chuckled as he drove. "A little, but it's still within my acceptable range."
Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed Yang Cheng's waist. She frowned and whispered anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense … How can you say that …"
Yang Cheng glanced at his wife helplessly. "I'm telling the truth. If it wasn't for you, I would have killed Yang Lie."
"Ruoxi, you don't have to say anything. I know Yang Cheng wouldn't lie about something like this." Guo Xuehua smiled bitterly. "I know that Lie 'er has gone overboard, but I just can't bring myself to do it."
Mother Wang patted Guo Xuehua's thigh. "Don't worry, everyone is fine. Hui Lin is fine too."
Hearing her name mentioned, Hui Lin smiled faintly and said, "That's right, Aunt Guo. As a mother, how can she watch her child die?"
"It's ironic. They're brothers, but now they're enemies." Mother Wang sighed.
Guo Xuehua seemed to have made up her mind. "Yang Cheng, I've decided. I'll return to Beijing to serve your grandfather after I've settled some matters here."
Yang Cheng sighed. "Mom, I don't think that's necessary. I can tell you that Yang Lie has already overdrafted his chances of survival.
The next time I see him, I'll kill him no matter what.
Even if you hate me for the rest of your life and refuse to acknowledge me as your son, I can't do anything about it.
To me, Yang Lie has already affected Ruoxi and Hui Lin's safety. I can't give him any more chances to play tricks on us.
You're my mother, but I have my own wife and other people that I need to care for. I can't take such a huge risk just for you. "
Guo Xuehua's eyes flashed with sadness. She smiled bitterly. "You're right … I'm too selfish. I should've considered Ruoxi's feelings …"
"It's fine." Lin Ruoxi turned around and shook her head. "Mom, don't say that. If Yang Cheng wants to kill Yang Lie, I'll stop him …"
"It's useless. He's no longer himself. After being modified by Yan Buwen, his brain has become possessed. If I don't kill him now, he'll become a huge threat.
I've let him off too many times. From now on, I won't let him off. "
Yang Cheng's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Yang Cheng!" Lin Ruoxi panicked. She called out to him coquettishly. If this went on, wouldn't Guo Xuehua's heart turn cold?
Guo Xuehua's face was filled with sadness. However, she didn't say anything. It was obvious that she agreed with Yang Cheng's words.
She knew that she was taking the side of the evildoer. However, she couldn't overcome the barrier of motherly love in her heart.
If she went back to Beijing and didn't see the fight between the two brothers, she would feel much better.
However … she couldn't see the two little ones every day. She couldn't bear to leave her good friend Yulan behind.
Everyone in the car was in low spirits. Yang Cheng could sense it. However, he didn't say anything.
He usually listened to Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi at home and was always bullied by Zhenxiu.
However, Yang Chen didn't want anyone to disobey him when it came to such a serious matter that concerned the safety of his family.
It was useless to disobey. As long as he made up his mind, he would do whatever he wanted.
When the car passed by the business district, Mother Wang suddenly thought of something. She patted Yang Cheng's seat and said, "Young Master, stop the car at the intersection in front. I'll go to the mall to buy something. I'll take a taxi back later."
Everyone in the car was stunned. Yang Cheng said, "Mother Wang, if you need anything, you can ask Ruoxi to bring it to you or someone from the company. This is the busiest place. The mall is quite messy. If you want to go, go to the skyscrapers."
"Stop the car."
It was Lin Ruoxi who spoke.
There seemed to be a hint of sadness in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. She said, "Mother Wang must have her reasons for going to buy something. Just stop for a while."
Yang Cheng could see that Lin Ruoxi must know something. However, since Mother Wang didn't say anything, he didn't ask. He thought for a while and said, "In this case, I'll accompany Mother Wang. Ruoxi, you drive the car back."
"You're going too?" Lin Ruoxi was puzzled.
Yang Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'm with Mother Wang. I won't flirt with innocent women. I also want to buy something. At the same time, I can protect Mother Wang. What if such a beautiful woman is flirted with by a bad uncle? "
Mother Wang blushed. "She's an old woman. Beauty … Young Master, don't make fun of me."
"Of course not! I also think that Mother Wang is my big sister. "Zhenxiu giggled and said from the back.
This series of jokes warmed up the atmosphere in the car a little, and the whole family also relaxed.
Guo Xuehua smiled and sighed in her heart. Yes, there's no need to think too much about unhappy things. Just cherish what's in front of you.
The car stopped by the side. Yang Cheng got off the car and let Lin Ruoxi get in the driver's seat.
He told Lin Ruoxi to be careful. After all, it was rush hour and there were many people. Then, he accompanied Mother Wang to the nearest shopping mall.
This was the most civilian commercial area in the East District of Zhonghai. However, it wasn't the cheapest.
Therefore, whether it was when Yang Cheng was selling mutton skewers or when he became a gigolo who was adopted by a rich woman, he didn't really come here.
He only knew that most of the people in this area were housewives and students from Zhonghai's universities.
Mother Wang was happy that Yang Cheng was willing to go shopping with her. For so many years, Mother Wang had been serving her from the old CEO to Lin Ruoxi, who she watched grow up. Mother Wang had spent more than 20 years of her youth in this family.
Now that Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng treated her as a real family, she felt that all her efforts were worth it.
Seeing Yang Chen walking beside her as if he was her own son, the melancholy in Wang Ma's heart dissipated a lot.
Yang Chen looked at the huge crowd shuttling back and forth. Seeing that Wang Ma hadn't entered any shops, he curiously asked, "Wang Ma, what exactly are you buying? Aren't you going to look at clothes or something?"
