The Cai family's courtyard is much quieter than Yang Chen imagined, and the place is not big. There are only two or three sisters-in-law helping with some daily housework, and there are no soldiers guarding it. As for Cai Yuncheng's military rank, this kind of pomp is quite low-key.
Cai Yan was extremely excited when she saw her sister. She grabbed Cai Ning's arm and walked all the way to the living room, talking about whom she had interrogated and what case she had settled in Zhonghai in the past few days, which was very meaningful to seek credit.
Cai Ning just smiled and listened to her sister's chattering, responding one or two indifferently, but such a cold response seemed to be very acceptable.
In the living room, Cai Yuncheng was wearing a white shirt in his spare time, sitting on a mahogany seat, reading a military newspaper, and seeing Cai Ning leading Yang Chen and the others, he stood up slowly and smiled and said: It's really punctual, our family is about to have dinner, you're here.
dad!I miss you so much!
Cai Yan let go of her sister, threw herself into Cai Yuncheng's arms, hugged her tightly, and was as if she were a little girl.
Cai Yuncheng felt helpless, and was hugged by his daughter like a wooden stake. He smiled bitterly at Yang Chen. The two were not strangers. In fact, this meeting was a form to a greater extent.
Yang Chen was a little stunned. He had never seen Cai Yan act so cutely. He forgot to say hello to Cai Yuncheng, the cheap father-in-law.
Cai Ning seemed to notice the change in Yang Chen's expression, and said Qingsheng: I didn't expect that Yanyan has always been like a child who has never grown up.
Yang Chen was shocked in his mind, and he looked at the woman in a light blue shirt beside him, and he was a little confused.
In fact, since the meeting just now, I felt a little confused when I remembered that she wanted to marry Yongye because she took responsibility for her behalf.
You... are nothing wrong!Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and could only ask implicitly.
Cai Ning was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled relaxedly, what are you referring to.
I heard Yanyan say that I know you don’t like that eternal night. In fact, you don’t have to do that. I can take everything. They can’t do anything to me, Yang Chen said seriously.
Cai Ning shook her head, why did she have to make things worse? It was just getting married, so that everyone would be at peace.Even if I get married, I will continue to do my business at Yanhuang Iron Travel. Whether I like it or not will matter to me.
Yang Chen was speechless. He didn't expect Cai Ning to look at all this indifferently, but he always felt uncomfortable and couldn't explain why he was so entangled and uncomfortable.
Can you tell me...why should I help me?Yang Chen finally asked.
Cai Ning smiled indifferently and said: Didn’t you say that you saved my life, of course I want to repay you.And since Yanyan has decided to be with you, then you are our family. Besides, I only have her, and I have not taken care of her since I was a child. I can help the person she likes and my life-saving benefactor. I think it is worth it, it's nothing.
Yang Chen felt a little sour in his heart, thinking about how to convince Cai Ning to give up that idea. He didn't believe that a beautiful young woman would be willing to marry a man she didn't like or even hate, but heard a few footsteps inside.
As soon as I came back, I chattered and said, come and have a meal.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman who was dressed more elegantly and had bright eyes and was quite similar to the Cai sisters. She could tell at a glance that she was the mistress of the Cai family, which Cai Yan mentioned before, their mother Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan brought the prepared meals to the dining table in the living room with two helpers. Then, she walked up with a smile and hugged her little daughter Cai Yan, and said with a heartache: You are tired from flying, sit down and eat.
Cai Yan shook her head, how could that happen? Mom, you don’t know, my daughter is trained by special forces.By the way, this is the boyfriend I said to take him home to meet you, Yang Chen.Cai Yan finally remembered the serious matter and hurriedly introduced her to her mother.
Yang Chen was about to go up and say hello, but saw Jiang Shan glaring at him without welcome, and instead asked first: Are you Yang Chen?
Yang Chen stiffened and smiled awkwardly: This... it's me, why does my aunt seem to have some misunderstandings about me?
Misunderstand?Jiang Shan sneered and said: If it weren't for you, how could my Ning'er be confined to Beijing!?How could you plead everywhere??Now our eldest daughter is going to give her away just like she pays her. Are you happy?!
Oh, I'll say you, when will you say this? Don't mention it when things are over.Cai Yuncheng seemed to dare not stop his wife too much, so he had to comfort her.
Jiang Shan refused to say: Why did you call me?A guy who came out of nowhere suddenly hooked my little daughter away for no reason. He was not married by a mediator. This made me angry enough and also caused my eldest daughter to be happy in this life. How can I not be angry!?
Yang Chen touched his nose, and it seemed that he was indeed a bit too much. If Cai Yan hadn't run away from home to participate in the special training because of her own affairs, Jiang Shan was heartbroken, and she probably wouldn't have been reluctant to let Cai Yan be with her.
Originally, even if the younger daughter can't manage her well in this life, she still has the eldest daughter to support her. Unexpectedly, her eldest daughter's marriage was decided under such circumstances. How could she not let the mother Jiang Shan get angry?
Yang Chen said nothing, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned. He sat at the dining table with a slaying look on his face and said with a smile: This food is quite sumptuous. I am a little hungry. Come and eat it quickly. It will be bad if it is cold.
Cai Yan was still worried that Yang Chen would be embarrassed, so she was anxious for him, but seeing Yang Chen was so calm that he seemed to have nothing to do, and was angry and funny, so she sat down.
Jiang Shan suddenly seemed like a newly ignited flame. She was drained from the air and could not burn it without oxygen. She had to sit down and sulk.
Cai Yuncheng looked a little headache and asked someone to get a bottle of Maotai, poured a cup for Yang Chen, and said: Yang Chen Ah, we actually know each other's mind when we meet today.Don't blame your aunt for being so disgusted with you.Whose parents are so worried that they can see that their two children have deviated from the original track because of the same person.
Yang Chen said mockingly: I have taken advantage of it, so it is worth being scolded.
Humph, as long as you know, Jiang Shan said disdainfully: I really don’t know what Yanyan likes you, and she almost lost her life for you.If this girl hadn't been so decisive, I would have firmly opposed the matter between you.It's not a glorious thing. If my daughter suffers grievances in the future, I will be the first to not let you go!
Yang Chen looked at the ferocious Jiang Shan, and his face twitched, and he nodded quickly.
Fortunately, Cai Yuncheng made a smooth move and the lunch was finished successfully. Although Jiang Shan didn't like Yang Chen, she wouldn't keep making trouble like this. She looked at Yang Chen with disgust and gave up.
After lunch, Cai Yuncheng signaled Yang Chen to go to the study to talk to him, and Cai Ning and Cai Yan's sisters didn't see each other for a long time, so they naturally went to the back garden to chat together.
When she arrived at Cai Yuncheng's study, Yang Chen dragged a chair and sat down, crossed his legs, stretched his waist, and yawned, asking: Why is it still mysterious? Maybe my aunt would even think that I snatched her daughter, but she would snatch her husband.
Cai Yuncheng just laughed and didn't take Yang Chen's joke seriously. He sat down and said: You have been to Jing for the past few days, but it has been a bit unstable to stir the water in Jing.
Yang Chen said in confusion: Did I do anything that makes you feel embarrassed?
The matter of the Qinglong Club should be over!Cai Yuncheng asked directly.
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, everything about him was still under the monitoring of Yanhuang Iron Brigade, and he smiled and said: Could it be that General Cai thought that I would help Qinglong expand or something?
Cai Yuncheng did not deny it, saying: Although you wouldn't do that, Liu Qingshan's daughter is also one of your lovers. You kid are not as straightforward to women as a man.I will confirm that Liu Qingshan is a hero, and I think you have already recognized him.I hope you don't interfere in the mundane affairs in Beijing. You should be clear that you are a sensitive person now. If you do something extraordinary and attract some attention... no one can help you. In terms of personal feelings, I don't want something wrong with my daughter's man.
Yang Chen shrugged, thank you for your honesty, but I think... some things are always unavoidable. If I don't provoke some people, some things will come to me.I can only do it as much as possible, not to implicate the people around me.
Cai Yuncheng sighed, and it was a worry-free answer.
Don’t talk about this, but it’s better to talk about it in line with the current situation!Yang Chen laughed and said: That... Uncle Cai Ah, what's going on with your wife? It's not a solution to target me like this.Since you become a family in the future, you must be more kind, right?
Cai Yuncheng smiled. Your aunt has this temper and always hopes that her two daughters can fly to the branches and marry a good family.Now you are asking Yanyan to be a shameful lover for you, but she can't refuse her mother, so of course it's hard to be kind to you.In fact, she had a much better attitude towards Yongye. After all, Yongye is also a descendant of the Li family. His parents Li Xin and Guo Yali are both from big families and are senior political officials.So, although Ning'er was forced to marry, your aunt was still quite satisfied with the marriage.
What do you want to say?Yang Chen frowned.
Cai Yuncheng smiled and said: Actually, it’s a very simple truth. The reason why she doesn’t give you a good face is because in her eyes, you are just a scoundrel man.Because of my identity, I will not tell her your true background.If you want your aunt to stop targeting you like this, the most direct way is to confirm your identity as the Yang family grandson. In that case... your aunt will like you, even better than that eternal night.
Even if you are a lover, the lover of the future heir of the Yang family, is a very good destination.
Yang Chen waved his hand decisively, forget it, such a proposal is meaningless, I won’t blush anyway, so let’s just do it.
Cai Yuncheng shook his head helplessly. He still hoped that Yang Chen would return to the Yang family. After all, in that case, Yang Chen would truly become the backbone of China. In that case, Hongmeng would also increase his trust in Yang Chen, and the safety of Yang Chen and the people around him would be fully guaranteed. Unfortunately, the stubbornness of this young man far exceeded his expectations.
Cai Yuncheng had to change the topic and said: Do you have any clues about the poisoning incident in the Tang family?
Yang Chen looked up puzzledly, "You are the leader of an organization specializing in intelligence, why do you still ask me?"
Cai Yuncheng said with a wry smile: Although we have an intelligence network, not everyone can find out the circles like the four major families.If we knew that the murderer who poisoned Tang Zhechen and Tang Wan would have been arrested early, so why bother to indulge him in continuing to commit crimes like this?You should know that if the Tang family is in chaos, it will be a heavy blow to many important industries in China.
Then you should have a partner of doubt!Yang Chen smiled knowingly.
Cai Yuncheng knocked on the table with one hand, but there was no evidence, so he could only doubt it.
Then I am the same, I am waiting for evidence, or... I need a real background.Yang Chen said.
Just as Cai Yuncheng wanted to ask something, a servant suddenly heard from outside the study...
General Cai, the Young Master Yongye of the Li family, came and said he wanted to take the eldest lady to take wedding photos. He was already in the hall...
Cai Yan was extremely excited when she saw her sister. She grabbed Cai Ning's arm and walked all the way to the living room, talking about whom she had interrogated and what case she had settled in Zhonghai in the past few days, which was very meaningful to seek credit.
Cai Ning just smiled and listened to her sister's chattering, responding one or two indifferently, but such a cold response seemed to be very acceptable.
