C219 A Good Friend Who Grew up Together
"Yang Chen, are you awake?" Yuan Ye was in a good mood. It seemed that the twentieth birthday was a wonderful thing for him. He didn't feel depressed at all that he would get old.
Yang Chen yawned, "Can I pick up your phone when I sleep?"
"That's good. I'll pick you up myself later. If you find the address yourself, you probably won't be able to find it." Yuan Ye said.
There were indeed many places that Yang Chen couldn't recognize the road. Since Yuan Family was the number one clan in Zhong Hai that Lin Ruoxi had spoken of, then the place that they lived at must also be a little special. Yang Chen could understand that.
"Do you know where I live?" Yang Chen asked.
"I don't know, so I called you."
"Dragon View Garden eighty-nine, call me when you're here. I'm going to lie down for a while." Yang Chen was ready to hang up after that.
"Don't hang up!" Yuan Ye chuckled, "I'm already here. Actually, I just called to confirm it."
Yang Chen smacked his lips and thought for a while before saying, "It was that girl, Tangtang, who told you that I live here, right?"
"Hehe, you guessed right. I'll pick you up before I go and pick up Tangtang. Her mother is very strict with her. If no one goes to pick her up, it'll be very difficult for her to come out by herself." Yuan Ye gloated.
"You seem very happy. Does that mean she won't have a chance to be with other boys, and you're Anxin?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
"You guessed it right. Haha, come down quickly."
Although he didn't see Yuan Ye much in reality, after such a long time of online gaming and chatting, the relationship between the two was still very familiar. Therefore, Yuan Ye's words became more relaxed, and Yang Chen still enjoyed it a lot. It was quite rare for him to make a younger male friend.
After Yang Chen was done with his simple attire, he shaved his beard so that he didn't look too dispirited and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Nanny Wang had already prepared breakfast. It was a western style sandwich, ham and milk. Yang Chen picked up a sandwich and said goodbye to Nanny Wang before he left.
Nanny Wang immediately called out to Yang Chen, "Young Master, wait, you're going to participate in Yuan Family Young Master's birthday banquet, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Nanny Wang walked to the side of the stairs with a smile, picked up a delicate red gift bag from the floor, and gave it to Yang Chen: "This is a present that Miss had someone prepare for you, and sent this morning. Let Young Master deliver it later, Yuan Family, several important people like it all placed inside."
Leaving aside why Lin Ruoxi knew what people of Yuan Family liked, Yang Chen felt that his wife was especially motivated when it came to paving the way for his career.
For this reason, Lin Ruoxi could be considered a traditional female representative.
"Alright!" Yang Chen naturally had no reason to refuse. Opening the bag slightly, he saw that every gift inside had a small label with different names written on it. Lin Ruoxi seemed to have considered it a long time ago.
Outside the house, there was already a white BMW 335 parked by the side of the road. Since Yuan Ye was going to pick up two people, he wouldn't drive his Audi R8, which only had two people in it.
Yang Chen opened the passenger door and put the gift bag in the back seat.
Yuan Ye, who was clad in a smart suit and had a handsome temperament, seemed to be in high spirits. When he saw Yang Chen take out a bag of gifts, he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not used to seeing you take a bag of gifts.
"What? I can't give you a present?" Yang Chen asked in annoyance.
"You don't look like someone who cares so much about these things. I thought you were going to come back empty-handed for a meal." Yuan Ye said honestly.
Yang Chen said in all seriousness, "My wife prepared it. We can't let down her kindness. Young people like you can't understand the responsibility of a married man."
Yuan Ye burst into laughter. Without saying anything else, he started the car and started on the road.
After half an hour, the two of them arrived at Tangtang's West Suburb Courtyard. As usual, the road here was wrapped in thick green.
When he arrived at Tangtang's house, she was already waiting at the door, dressed in a black and white Japanese short skirt and white stockings. Her pure face matched her cute outfit, just like the rich maid in the Japanese comics. She only had a maid scarf missing from her head. When she saw Yuan Ye driving over, she waved at the two of them.
With empty hands, Tangtang got on the car and clapped with Yuan Ye. They looked at each other and smiled.
Then, Tangtang angrily said to Yang Chen, "Uncle, it's been so many days since you've called me. If it wasn't for Brother Yuan Ye's birthday, would you have forgotten about me?"
"Why would I call you?"
"And did you call your lover?"
"No, wait a minute, lovers or not, what nonsense are you spouting!" Yang Chen pretended to be serious.
Tangtang made a face, "I've seen through it. Uncle, you are the current Wu Qi, Liu An, and Chen Shimei!"
"Who are they?" Yang Chen didn't know much about ancient Chinese affairs.
While driving, Yuan Ye explained to him with a weird smile, "Wu Qi and Liu An are people who kill their wives for their own benefits. Chen Shimei is someone who abandons her wife and son …"
"What!?" Yang Chen was furious, he turned around and stretched out his hand, grabbing onto Tangtang's pink face, pulling her over to him, "Can you say random things? Otherwise, why would I call you lass, you don't even know what's good for you!? "
Tangtang begged Yang Chen to let go, but she still hid behind him and giggled.
Yuan Ye looked at the rearview mirror and saw the mischievous smile of Tangtang. He shook his head helplessly and asked, "Tangtang, isn't Aunt going?"
Tangtang nodded, "Yes. Mom asked me to greet Uncle Yuan and the others on her behalf. She went out early in the morning to meet the leaders of Yanjing."
"What a pity, Secretary Fang will be here today," Yuan Ye sighed.
"So that's how it is …" Tangtang pouted and said in disappointment, "I think Mom knew Dad was going there, so she didn't go. I was curious about why she suddenly went to see the Leader. Isn't it the same even if she ignored them? No matter how big a government official is, how could they have the same background as Auntie Yuan?"
"Who is Aunt Yuan?" Yang Chen asked curiously, "Yuan Ye's mom?"
"Yes, let me tell you, Uncle Yuan has the most power in his family. Although Brother Yuan Ye's dad is the chairman of the Yuan Group, but at home, his mom has the final say." Tangtang giggled and said, "Aunt Yuan has been good to me since I was young. Therefore, when Brother Yuan Ye fought with me for fun when I was young, Aunt Yuan helped me to beat him up. Uncle Yuan didn't dare to say anything."
"Why? Is she very fierce?" The image of the female tyrannosaur appeared in Yang Chen's mind.
Tangtang hurriedly shook her head, "No, Auntie Yuan is so gentle and treats people very well. It's because Auntie Yuan's family is one of the biggest families in China, such as Yanjing or even the top few families. I remember that my mom told me like this, but I don't know the specifics, and Brother Yuan Ye was also unwilling to tell me."
Yuan Ye smiled shyly, "It's not that exaggerated."
"It's just that exaggerated. So, with aunty's help, Brother Yuan Ye couldn't even bully me when he was young. He was always the one who was pushed to tears by me …"
Yang Chen couldn't help but grin as he listened to Tangtang's unrestrained outburst of information from her childhood. He was slightly moved in his heart. Although a child like Tangtang must have had many childhood shadows due to her parents' special relationship, the care and concern from the elders around her were also numerous.
In comparison, his own childhood was like a battle between trapped beasts. It wasn't something they could imagine.
Yuan Ye's face turned red after hearing all of Tangtang's revelations. He coughed and said, "Tangtang, it's enough to tell a story of seven or eight years old. Don't even mention a story of five or six years old, you were only three when I was five, how could you remember?"
"I don't really remember, but Auntie Yuan would tell me, Brother Yuan Ye. Are you shy?" It was as if Tangtang had won a small battle.
Yuan Ye smiled bitterly and said to Yang Chen, "Listen to me. I do suspect Tangtang is my mother's. I helped her not helping me since she was young."
Yang Chen looked at the couple and said, "Is this considered as a childhood sweetheart? That's a good word."
Tangtang blushed. Yuan Ye was also embarrassed, but he still had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit ambiguous. Yang Chen looked back and forth between Tangtang and Yuan Ye and suddenly felt that he was very old. For people like them, one of them was 18 years old, while the other was 20 years old.
Although he was only three or four years older than Yuan Ye, there seemed to be a huge generation gap between him and them. At the very least, when facing the woman he liked, he would never shyly smile or dare to look her in the eye. He might have kissed a woman on the head.
At this moment, the BMW reached a narrow street. At the intersection in front of them, a heavy truck suddenly appeared!
Yuan Ye suddenly braked and pushed his horn in anger. This sudden appearance was too dangerous!
However, the situation was not as simple as it seemed, because at the next intersection, a large GMC truck drove out and stuck closely to the back of the BMW. Seven or eight men with a slight sprint in their hands, wearing large square sunglasses, and wearing black leather jeans jumped out from the two trucks in front and behind the BMW.
This quick turn of events caused the pedestrians on both sides of the street to be thrown into chaos. All of them fled madly, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Four men pointed their submachine guns at Yang Chen and the other two in the BMW. The gauntlets of one of the men, which were wearing steel nails, slammed into the window of the driver's seat!
"Bang!"
The broken glass on the door fell onto the ground, scaring Tangtang out of her seat.
"Get in the car!" His voice was as numb as a machine.
The man pointed at the big truck in front with his chin raised. The huge container at the back of the truck had already put down the iron gate at the back. The car only needed to drive for it to enter the inside of the black container.
Although Yuan Ye was a little frightened, he didn't lose his composure. He looked at the expressionless Yang Chen beside him and sighed. Then, he drove the car into the container.
As soon as the car entered the container, the iron plate behind them immediately closed. The entire interior was pitch black, and it was impossible to see one's hand in front of one's eyes.
The lights in the BMW's inner compartment were turned on. Yuan Ye turned around and saw Tangtang's pale face was safe and sound. Only then did he feel relieved.
"Brother Yuan Ye, how could this be? Dashu, aren't you very powerful? Quickly think of a way? Are they here to kidnap me?! " Tangtangyu asked in a sobbing tone.
Yuan Ye frowned and was unable to say a word, as if he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
Yang Chen shrugged and sighed, "To think that we would encounter something like this at a birthday party. How would I know what they want? They are already here, let's talk about it after we leave."
