Chapter 1350: Chapter 1346: Testing the Waters
“I’m partners with your sister. Our dealings are normal. Why are you worried? And whatever I think, it’s my own business. It’s none of your concern, understand?” Chen Yang replied, equally impolite.
“Hey, what kind of attitude is that? Do you dare talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I’ll knock your teeth out!”
Yang Zhiyong, a stubborn brute, was ready to brawl with Chen Yang at the slightest disagreement.
If not for considering he was Yang Caiyun’s brother, Chen Yang would have already made him cry out loud.
“Alright, alright! What’s the point of arguing with him? We should focus on serious matters!” Just as Yang Zhiyong was about to make a move, an old lady stepped forward and pulled him back.
“Hmph.”
Yang Zhiyong snorted coldly and stepped aside, looking at Chen Yang with a hostile gaze.
The old lady then began questioning Chen Yang with an overbearing tone.
“Young man, we’ve been gone for so long, but you stayed inside for such a long time. What were you doing? Did you say something bad?” the old lady asked.
By this time, Chen Yang already didn’t want to engage with the two of them.
However, hearing their question, he replied.
“Don’t overthink it. As for your affairs, I’m not interested at all. I was just discussing the stock market situation with her inside earlier.” Chen Yang answered calmly.
“Stock market? You’re trading stocks with my sister?” Yang Zhiyong couldn’t help but interject upon hearing this.
Chen Yang glanced at him and said, “Yeah, how else would you make big money? Where do you think the money to buy a house came from?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhiyong suddenly became excited.
The old lady did not understand what stock trading was. Seeing Yang Zhiyong’s excitement, she couldn’t help but ask, “Zhiyong, what’s stock trading?”
“Mom! You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you. Just know that if my sister is into it, it means she’s wealthy.” Yang Zhiyong said excitedly.
Hearing this, the old lady also became excited: “Really? That’s great! By then, buying you a house is just the start; we definitely need to get you a car too, so it’s convenient for us to go anywhere.”
“Hehe, yes, Mom. Once there’s a car, a wife won’t be far off.” Yang Zhiyong said joyfully.
The two of them started planning in front of Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was speechless. He shook his head, closed the car window, and drove away, not bothering to say another word to them.
After leaving the River Fish Restaurant, Chen Yang drove straight back to Liuhua Village.
There wasn’t much to do in the afternoon, just occasionally checking the progress of the construction or strolling around the park. The afternoon went by quickly.
The next day, as agreed with Yang Caiyun, Chen Yang drove to the River Fish Restaurant early in the morning.
When he arrived, it was just after nine in the morning, and the shop staff had just opened the door.
“Boss Chen, so early.”
The staff greeted Chen Yang enthusiastically.
“Yes, where’s your boss lady?” Chen Yang smiled and nodded before asking where Yang Caiyun was.
“The boss lady hasn’t come down yet this morning. She should be upstairs,” said the staff member.
“Okay, you go ahead and get busy then.” With this, Chen Yang walked into the shop and went up to the third floor to find Yang Caiyun.
For the sake of authenticity, Yang Caiyun put on makeup today that made her look quite haggard.
She even reddened her eyes, looking as though they were swollen from too much crying.
“Sis, your makeup is too realistic. If I didn’t study medicine, I wouldn’t have been able to tell.” Chen Yang chuckled.
Yang Caiyun’s mood remained somewhat low.
Because she wasn’t sure what the result of today’s probe would be.
Would it lead to a falling out on the spot, or would there still be some familial sentiment?
These were all concerns to Yang Caiyun and she was eager to find out.
“If it’s not realistic, how would it be effective? If Zhiyong and Mom truly regard me as family, then I will agree to buy him the house. If there’s truly no affection, then let’s just sever the relationship.” Yang Caiyun said calmly.
“Hmm.”
Chen Yang understood Yang Caiyun’s low mood. He held her in his arms, quietly accompanying her.
“Caiyun! Where are you?”
The two didn’t know how long they were together when the old lady’s shouting suddenly came from downstairs.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately separated.
Then, according to their predetermined plan, they began staging an argument!
“I told you yesterday to wrap it up quickly! How come there are still so many things? Now all those millions are gone. Are you satisfied?” Chen Yang yelled at Yang Caiyun.
Yang Caiyun sat on the sofa without saying a word, just sobbing.
…
After the old lady asked a few staff members downstairs and found out that Yang Caiyun was upstairs, she hurriedly brought Yang Zhiyong up.
Upon reaching the upper floor, they immediately saw Chen Yang chastising Yang Caiyun, who was sitting on the sofa unable to stop crying.
Seeing this, the old lady and Yang Zhiyong were momentarily stunned.
Then Yang Zhiyong, whether genuinely or for show,
became furious.
“Bastard, how dare you bully my sister? I will teach you a lesson today,” Yang Zhiyong roared, raising his fist and charging at Chen Yang to give Yang Caiyun some justice.
Of course, Chen Yang wouldn’t let him land a hit. With a dodge, he elegantly avoided it.
“Zhiyong! Don’t act recklessly! This is a misunderstanding.” Seeing the situation escalate instantly, Yang Caiyun quickly got up to stop Yang Zhiyong.
“Sis, he treated you like this, and you say it’s a misunderstanding? Don’t stop me. Today I’ll get justice for you,” Yang Zhiyong said indignantly.
“Exactly! Is there no one left in the Yang Family, letting him bully our people like this? Bastard, I knew you were no good from the start.” The old lady also approached in anger, pointing at Chen Yang with nasty words.
She even egged Yang Zhiyong on to act.
But she was still stopped by Yang Caiyun.
“Mom, Zhiyong, things aren’t how you think. It’s really a misunderstanding.” Yang Caiyun explained once more.
Seeing Yang Caiyun so insistent it was a misunderstanding, Yang Zhiyong gradually softened his stance.
“Sis, is it really a misunderstanding? With your brother here, don’t be afraid. Speak up.” Yang Zhiyong patted his chest, speaking very confidently.
Yang Caiyun nodded again: “It really is a misunderstanding. Yang Zi didn’t bully me. Rather, I harmed him. A moment of greed led to his huge loss.”
Hearing the words “huge loss,” Yang Zhiyong and the old lady were momentarily taken aback and looked at Yang Caiyun in confusion: “Sis, a huge loss? What happened?”
Faced with the inquiries from Yang Zhiyong and the old lady, Yang Caiyun sat back down on the sofa, crying again, remaining silent.
