C434 Old Dog
Yang Chen's heart couldn't help but twitch when he saw it.
It was true that Lin Ruoxi wasn't very good at handling matters of the heart, but that didn't mean that she was careless and unable to differentiate between the two.
On the contrary, because she was always in a high position, she was able to grasp many delicate emotions and analyze many extended things. Therefore, when she saw these photos and savored the lines of the poem, she could think of far more than she was told.
However, there were some things that one would not want to think about and explore, much less believe.
Lin Ruoxi put the album back in the drawer and was silent for a moment. Then, she turned around and looked at Yang Chen with her limpid eyes, "Do you know something?"
Yang Chen knew Lin Ruoxi would ask this because he tried to stop her from flipping through the books.
"I don't know. I don't even understand the meaning of those lines of poetry. This question is really baffling." Yang Chen smiled casually and sighed bitterly in his heart. Even if he knew something, he couldn't say it before this matter was completely exposed.
There were some things that were always sealed or never mentioned. Whether it was true or false, it was not a good choice to say.
A few ripples appeared in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, but she did not pursue the matter. She was not a stubborn person, so if Yang Chen did not say it, she would not force him.
The sound of Guo Xuehua calling out for the two of them to eat came from downstairs. Ever since she came to live in this house, many of Nanny Wang's' duties' had been taken over by her.
"Go down!" Lin Ruoxi stood up first and walked out of the house.
Yang Chen looked at the photo on the bedside table, sighed lightly and followed her downstairs.
Lunch was as sumptuous as usual, with a few people talking and laughing. Lin Ruoxi was calm and collected as usual, eating and swallowing slowly without a hint of arrogance.
"Ruoxi, did something happen in the past few days?"
Guo Xuehua's question had already confirmed that Yang Chen and his wife were hiding something from them. She had been attacked by an unknown person in the morning. Although Qiangwei had saved her and handed the assailant over to the police, Guo Xuehua did not think that it was an ordinary robber. Furthermore, the possibility of that person having enmity with Guo Xuehua was not high, and no one dared to provoke Yang Family. Those who did, would not use such a low level method.
Then, the most likely possibility was that Lin Ruoxi or Yang Chen met an opponent who wanted to use their family to threaten them. Guo Xuehua clearly remembered that the "postman" used ether to try to charm her.
Both Nanny Wang and Zhen Xiu had stopped their chopsticks. They had been talking for a long time in the kitchen, both concerned about what Lin Ruoxi and Yang Chen were doing out there.
Lin Ruoxi was not surprised. "The company encountered some difficulties, but it's already been solved. At most the day after tomorrow, it'll be over. I've already sent people from the security company. Mom, don't worry."
"Oh, it's the company's business again." Nanny Wang looked at Lin Ruoxi with a pained heart. "Miss, it's been hard on you. After the madame left and handed the company to you, I didn't see you live safely. "Now that someone is finding fault with you, no matter if you are a good or bad person, there will always be someone who is going against you."
'Trembling, treading on thin ice … ' Guo Xuehua also looked pitifully at her daughter-in-law. "A girl that's only in her twenties wouldn't feel good sitting in such a position, right?"
Lin Ruoxi had a complicated expression on her face as she forced a smile. "I'm used to it. It's good."
"How can you get used to this, it's basically suffering." Zhen Xiu, who usually worshipped Lin Ruoxi, pouted and said, "Sister Ruoxi, I think you should just hand the company over to Brother Yang. Anyway, you're husband and wife, so it's usually men who support the family. "I can see that you get up early every day to get greedy for the dark. You're even more tired than me preparing for the college entrance exam. It's fine if you're not the CEO."
"Little girl, what do you know?" Upon hearing Zhen Xiu's suggestion, Yang Chen immediately glared at Zhen Xiu. While chewing the rice in his mouth, he said loudly, "The CEO of this multinational company is not to be changed. Do you want Yu Lei to close down or do you want to make Brother Yang unlucky?"
"Brother Yang is so petty." Zhen Xiu pouted. "You don't know how to love people. Also, I'm not a little girl!"
"Your suggestion is indeed painful. It makes my liver and stomach ache and my gums ache." As soon as Yang Chen finished his sentence, he saw Lin Ruoxi staring at him with a bone-chilling gaze. He couldn't help but laugh awkwardly and continue eating.
Lin Ruoxi said with an expressionless face, "Don't worry. Even if you say you want to be the CEO, I won't let you have it. You won't hurt anywhere."
This time, even Guo Xuehua wasn't helping Yang Chen. Could it be that Lin Ruoxi would really give him the position of CEO? He didn't even know how to coax his wife, so he said to Yang Chen in dissatisfaction, "Sofia works so hard and you're so carefree all day long, yet you're still talking this kind of sarcastic nonsense. Is it that interesting to fight with Zhen Xiu over this?"
Yang Chen was depressed in his heart. Who asked Lin Ruoxi to mention the matter of handing the company over to him? He was somewhat afraid.
After eating for a while longer, Yang Chen was about to serve himself another bowl of rice when he heard an old-fashioned doorbell ring.
"Someone's coming?" Nanny Wang's expression tightened. "It can't be another fake bad guy, right?"
"Nanny Wang, no matter how stupid other people are, they won't do the same thing." Yang Chen laughed.
"Still, be careful!" Guo Xuehua looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen naturally knew what Guo Xuehua meant. He was the only man here. It was safest for him to go out. Moreover, Guo Xuehua also knew that his martial arts was very powerful.
After putting down the tableware, Yang Chen walked out of the house.
A long black Cadillac was parked quietly at the door, attracting the attention of many passers-by. The one who came was not a stranger but his "acquaintance".
Yuan Heewei and Yang Jieyu, who were both dressed in formal attire, were standing outside the iron gate, waiting for him to open the door with a smile.
Since the parting of Cai Family, Yang Chen had not seen Yang Jieyu before. Speaking of which, their eldest sister-in-law Guo Xuehua had come to Zhong Hai to stay for a long time. Both of them should come over often. However, the two of them were meticulous people. They clearly knew that if they came to see Guo Xuehua frequently, it would be opposing their brother Yang Pojun.
Therefore, they had never been here before. According to Guo Xuehua, it was just that they were in contact with each other through the phone. Who would've thought that they would come together today?
"Judging from your expression, it seems like you don't really welcome your uncles and aunts?" Yuan Heewei grinned.
"How is Yang Chen unhappy? He might not have expected us to come," Yang Jieyu said angrily.
Yang Chen opened the door and made a "please" gesture, "I just moved and you can already find me. It seems like everything in Zhong Hai is under your control."
"Others may not know about this, but since our eldest nephew has moved, we should at least see it clearly!" Yuan Heewei seemed to be in a good mood and pretended to be angry: "Yang Chen, you dragged your family along with you and moved out. Why didn't you tell us? Do you want us to not be able to find you?"
As the three of them walked in, Yang Chen said to the two of them, "This house belongs to Ruoxi, it's moved by our elders, it's fine if I don't say it."
While they were chatting, Guo Xuehua, who had seen the Yuan Family couple, had already come out and greeted them. She revealed a sincere smile, "Wei, Jieyu, why are you here at this time when you have the time?"
Yang Jieyu and Guo Xuehua gave each other a light hug. It was obvious that the two of them were very close. She smiled wryly and said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, aren't you asking just because you know the answer? Yu Lei encountered such a huge problem, how can we just watch as the family business of our nephew and daughter-in-law falls? "Of course I'm here to discuss something with Ruoxi."
Upon hearing this, Guo Xuehua and Nanny Wang turned pale and looked at Lin Ruoxi with surprise.
They only heard from Lin Ruoxi that it was a problem, but they didn't expect the problem to be so serious that it could cause Yu Lei to fall apart!
Seeing Guo Xuehua's expression, Yuan Heewei and Yang Jieyu realized that Guo Xuehua really didn't know anything. Yuan Heewei couldn't help but think of something as he looked apologetically at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head, indicating that it was alright. She said, "Come in quickly and have a seat. We're still having lunch. Have the two of you eaten yet?"
Yuan Heewei and his wife looked at each other. They didn't understand. The news of Yu Lei's war with the international financial crisis caused a huge uproar outside. As the CEO of Yu Lei, Lin Ruoxi was indifferent as she ate lunch at home.
Did she have a plan? Should she still resign herself to her fate?
When they sat down on the red deer skin sofa, Nanny Wang took out some fragrant black tea and brewed it for everyone. The atmosphere was a bit weird.
Yuan Heewei looked at his wife, who was holding a white porcelain teacup with a calm face, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Can I call you Ruoxi?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly, "Yes."
Yuan Heewei was also aware of Lin Ruoxi's notoriously cold personality, so he didn't mind her impolite reply. He continued, "Ruoxi, do you know who made it so that Yu Lei couldn't get a loan from the bank?"
"I don't know." Lin Ruoxi said honestly.
Yang Jieyu looked at Lin Ruoxi's beautiful face and said with a hint of annoyance, "This child is already this calm. Why do I feel like we're more anxious than you are? "
Lin Ruoxi remained silent as she sipped on her black tea.
"Do you still remember the Zeng Xinlin that died in front of your home?" Yuan Heewei was not affected, as he continued to speak, he looked towards Yang Chen.
"I remember." Lin Ruoxi seemed to have guessed something, and a trace of light flashed through her lustrous eyes.
Yang Chen, who was sitting on the other sofa, casually asked, "It can't be, killing the dog will attract the old dog, right?"
Yang Jieyu snappily said: "No matter what, Zeng Mao is the former Patriarch of Zeng Family and is an old cadre of China Department. In your mouth, he became an old man … Old or something, it's so unpleasant to hear. "
Guo Xuehua who was listening in on them was stunned, "What do you think? Yanjing Zeng Mao, Mao Gong? His grandson Zeng Xinlin was also … "
"That's right, sister-in-law. She was killed by your precious son, Yang Chen." Yuan Heewei smiled helplessly as he spoke the truth.
This time, Guo Xuehua's eyes were wide open. She appeared to be in a panic, but her eyes were filled with anxiety.
Yang Chen did not rush or slow down, nor did he care too much about how the Yuan Family couple knew about these things. After all, as the number one family in Zhong Hai, Yuan Family was bound to have extraordinary strength. He was just thinking if he should immediately cut it off now that he knew the source. So, he asked: "Where is Zeng Mao now?"
