Chapter 254 — Father and Son Turn Against Each Other

Seeing that Yang Lanxu was in low spirits, Xu Peng said nothing further and simply kept him company in finishing lunch in silence——Yang Ce first called Chen Shutang. He had never expected so many things to happen on his first day back—first the company's troubles, then the business with Tian Long and the Sun family—and in the end he had not even made it to school.

"Darling, what are you up to?" Yang Ce said once the call to Chen Shutang connected.

Chen Shutang was wide awake at the moment, so she recognized Yang Juehuan's voice at once; recalling how she had hung up on him outright the night before, she could not help but blush.

"Yang Ce, I'm in the dorm—where are you?" Chen Shutang tugged at Lin Yanhe's hand and pointed at her phone.

Lin Yanhe of course knew it was Yang Ce calling; sitting beside Chen Shutang, she watched the goings-on without blinking.

"I'm outside. Mingyang... the company's had a bit of trouble..." Yang Yanzhou trailed off, then remembered that Chen Shutang still did not know he was the actual owner of Mingyang Entertainment, so he said, "A couple of people ran off with the funds. I just met with your father..."

Since Chen Fei had already seen him at Mingyang Entertainment, there was no need for Yang Shuoxuan to keep hiding anything from Chen Shutang—only now was not the time to speak of it; at the very least he would tell her about Mingyang Entertainment after they met in person.

"Ah! Is it serious?" Chen Shutang was startled. She did not know which company Yang Yanzhou's Mingyang was and assumed it was Yang Ce's father's company, so she did not press further.

"Tonight, then—if I have time tonight, I'll come home, though I probably won't be able to stay the night..." Yang Ce sighed. "Mengyan, I'm sorry."

"It's all right—real business comes first! Hurry and get on with it, and we'll talk when you're home tonight!" Chen Shutang was not an unreasonable person; seeing how serious things were for Yang Yanzhou, she chatted with him no longer.
