"I ran into a little trouble, but at least I wasn't late." Yang Chen sat down with a smile.
Yang Jieyu didn't ask any further questions and asked directly, "What do you want to drink?"
"Whatever!" Yang Chen said.
Yang Jieyu suggested, "There's a Nouvak here. It's not available anywhere else. Would you like a drink?"
Yang Chen was stunned, "It really is Nouvak?"
"Although it's a bit expensive, since you saved Ono, it's still fine to buy you a cup of coffee." Yang Jieyu laughed.
Yang Chen waved his hand, "Forget about it, I know about that type of coffee. But I probably won't drink that in my life, it's better if it's simple."
"Why? Have you drank it before?" Yang Jieyu asked, puzzled.
"Don't you know how you got the Nouvak coffee?"
"All I know is that it's the most expensive coffee in the world. It costs thousands of dollars a catty, and it doesn't cost anything else. Is there anything special about it?" Yang Jieyu said.
Yang Chen adjusted his posture, nodded, and said confidently, "You're right, the rarer the items are, the more rare the coffee remains. It can be said that the price is the gold of the coffee. The source of production is Sumatra, Indonesia, a local coffee bean. "
"You seem to understand me very well?" Yang Jieyu asked with bright eyes.
Yang Chen smiled easily, "When I went there for a while, a local friend gave me a small packet. Originally, I thought it was fragrant and I liked it, but after he told me about the coffee manufacturing process, I gave it back to him."
"What happened?"
"The local farmers, when the coffee berries ripen, will let their only local type of Palm Cat into the coffee garden, where the cats love to eat coffee beans. When the cat gets diarrhoea, the local farmers will go looking for the manure of the Palm Cat. Pick the undigested coffee beans out of the feces. These coffee beans are the best, and the coffee that is made from them is the Nouvak coffee. " Yang Chen explained, "So, the most expensive and most luxurious coffee in the world is actually cat poop. It's funny. Most people are proud to have a sip, so they might have different thoughts. I just don't like it."
As expected, Yang Jieyu's expression changed slightly. She covered her mouth and looked at the empty cup of coffee with a wry smile. "I regret listening to your story."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were drinking." Yang Chen smiled in embarrassment.
Yang Jieyu called the waiter over and gave them two glasses of orange juice. Only then did they feel slightly better.
"From what Ono said, you are a Master Haver who came back from abroad. It seems that you are indeed knowledgeable," Yang Jieyu said calmly.
"I guess so. Foreign universities aren't that strong. I can only say that I've graduated from university." Yang Chen opened his eyes and lied.
Yang Jieyu nodded. "You are indeed very modest. But according to your methods against those terrorists that day, you are not as simple as a returned from abroad."
"I've learned some martial arts and participated in some military training. I might have trained better than others, but I'm actually dying soon. The potential that I was forced to unleash isn't so strange." Yang Chen answered cautiously as he thought about why Yang Jieyu asked him to come out today.
Yang Jieyu then asked about Yang Chen's life abroad. Yang Chen made up a bunch of nonsense, but there weren't any flaws to be found.
"Yang Chen, you are a pretty good young man. Our Yuan Ye lacks such a friend like you. I wonder if there is anyone else in your family? "Why don't you come and visit us next time?" Yang Jieyu smiled in invitation.
Yang Chen replied without batting an eye: "No need, I'm just one person, my adoptive parents have passed away."
"Your adoptive parents? What about your biological parents? " Yang Jieyu stared at Yang Chen with a burning gaze.
Yang Chen sighed, smiled and said, "I don't know, I was adopted since I was very young, I don't know who my biological parents are."
A strange look flashed in Yang Jieyu's eyes. With a sorrowful expression, she said, "I'm sorry. You've been alone for so many years. You must have had a hard time."
"If it's hard because I don't have parents, I don't think so. I'm used to being alone. That's good." Yang Chen said expressionlessly.
Yang Jieyu's face was obviously stiff, but she still forced a smile and nodded her head. "So that's how it is. That's right. Abandoning such a young child's parents was indeed wrong."
"I don't think they're in the world, either!" Yang Chen said.
Yang Jieyu was stunned. "Why do you say that?"
"If they were still in this world, it would be hard for me to understand how they still had the face to live." Yang Chen drank up the juice in one gulp.
Seeing Yang Chen get up, Yang Jieyu said anxiously, "Maybe your parents have their own difficulties?"
"Hmph." Yang Chen smiled and said, "Maybe, but I don't care anymore. I still have to work in the afternoon, so I'll be leaving first."
Yang Jieyu wanted to urge him to stay, but since Yang Chen was already walking towards the door, she could only weakly sit back down.
Not long after Yang Chen left, a handsome man in a lead coloured suit with a deep gaze walked out from behind a seat that was blocked by a grid. He came to the seat opposite to Yang Jieyu where Yang Chen was originally sitting.
Yang Jieyu raised her head and smiled at the man. "Brother, you look very similar to him when you were young, no matter how you talk or what he looks like."
The man sat up straight, with no expression on his face, "Jieyu, just pretend that nothing happened today. In the future, don't get any closer to him either. "
"Why?" Yang Jieyu was puzzled and asked, "It's because elder sister-in-law hasn't really been happy ever since she abandoned Yang Chen and married into our family. Elder brother, don't you really want her to be a whole family member? He was your and elder sister-in-law's blood and flesh before, but now that the news is right in front of your eyes and he has become so outstanding, why won't elder brother recognize him?"
"It is precisely because of this sudden appearance and because of this extraordinary person that I have to pay more attention to him, as you say. Our Yang Family is not like that of an ordinary family, and this year and next will be the most important time of change. No matter if it is the door wind or the family wind, must be watertight, absolutely must not let our competitors have any opportunity! If a son suddenly emerges, it will definitely have a very negative impact. " The man said.
"Big brother! Could it be that an official's position is more important than one's own flesh and blood!? " Yang Jieyu said excitedly.
"Jieyu, you are the eldest daughter of our Yang Family, don't tell me that you don't even have this little sense of propriety. What I have to consider is the entire family, and all those people who are subordinate to our Yang Family. If we fall, the dam will collapse! At a time like this, how can I make another mistake I made over twenty years ago!? " The man said.
"Wrong? That was Big Bro's mistake, why did you let your child bear the consequences!? " Yang Jieyu said with tears flowing down her cheeks, "I just want to see Yang Chen's face as if I saw my brother when he was young. He's more easygoing, more humble, and more amiable than my brother. Don't you feel guilty when you see him?"
The man took a deep breath and said with a cold expression, "Jieyu, you are a man of great achievements. Our Yang Family has always been strict since the founding of the country. The only reason we have been able to do this is because the things that we have abandoned far exceed the imagination of others. You don't need to persuade me again, and you're not allowed to mention this to your eldest sister-in-law. The only thing our successors in Yang Family need is a child who was born innocent!
"Haha, pure and innocent …" Yang Jieyu sneered and stood up, "The innocence on the surface, can only make people feel how filthy their hearts are! "Yang Pojun, I'm really disappointed in you!"
With that, Yang Jieyu turned around to leave.
"Yang Jieyu, are you going to rebel!?" Yang Pojun said angrily.
Yang Jieyu abruptly stopped and said without turning her head, "Don't worry, I will treat it as if nothing happened and will not affect Big Bro's future. This is your sin, and one day you will regret it …"
With that, Yang Jieyu left the coffee shop in quick steps.
Yang Pojun sat on his seat angrily. His expression changed constantly and his eyes seemed to be filled with memories of the past.
Time seemed to have turned yellow, as if it were a piece of paper that had been flipped over twenty years ago …
On a snowy night, a military jeep stopped in front of an orphanage in a small city in northern China.
A couple wearing military coats handed a sleeping child, two to three years old, to an old woman.
The child slept soundly. The north wind whistled through the night and was curled up in a fluffy blanket. In the warmth, the sobbing of the young woman could not be heard.
The old woman took a heavy envelope and carried the child back to the orphanage.
The young couple watched as the woman carried their child back to the courtyard before reluctantly getting on the carriage and leaving with difficulty through the snowy night.
In the blink of an eye, a year passed.
When the couple came to the orphanage again, they were surprised to find that the remote courtyard had been demolished.
The children here had all disappeared without a trace. There wasn't even a way of communication left, as if these people had vanished into thin air.
The young woman held onto her slightly bulging abdomen and leaned into her husband's embrace. She cried until she fainted …
Yang Chen, who walked out of the coffee shop and headed back to Yu Lei, was completely oblivious to all of this. The emotions Yang Jieyu expressed towards him at the end made him feel upset. Even though he had seen so many storms, anything that involved some broken memories from his youth still made Yang Chen unable to calm down.
As he was walking in a daze, the phone in his pocket vibrated because his pants pocket was broken.
Yang Chen was surprised when he took it out. It was actually Lin Ruoxi calling him.
Whenever Lin Ruoxi took the initiative to call him, she had to notify him of something. Yang Chen smiled and picked up the phone.
