Chapter 845 — One More Villa
Years of Heartflutter · Page 2 of 2
It was just that, as a result, Yang Cheyan's relationship with his neighbors could never be the same as before. And by then the people in the compound understood as well: Yang Cheyan was no longer the Yang Cheyan of old. He was the chairman now, and it was impossible for him to keep mingling with you old neighbors and old friends all the time, and impossible for him to change the company's personnel system just because of a word from you.
To avoid inviting trouble, Yang Cheyan kept a stern face on his way to and from work, no longer greeting people casually, and treating his subordinates with nothing more than a faint nod...
And so Yang Cheyan found it all rather pointless. In the chairman's seat, it was already impossible for him to maintain the friendships with those old neighbors as he once had! Those people now dealt with Yang Cheyan with reverence and ulterior motives, and all Yang Cheyan could do was avoid them...
So over time, Yang Cheyan grew unwilling to live in that old compound anymore. He had long wanted to move, except that his son was away from home on a mission and hadn't returned safely, so Yang Cheyan had had no heart for moving. But now that he was here and had seen Yang Juehuan's villa, some ideas began to stir in him!
"Dad, why don't you and Mom move over here too? The villa next door is Yanyan's—she's moved in with me now, so her villa is empty!" Yang Ce saw through his father's thoughts and gestured casually toward the villa beside them.
"Yanyan?" Yang Cheyan was slightly taken aback. He didn't know who Yang Yanzhou was referring to, but the name was clearly a girl's, and she had moved in to live with Yanzhou? What did that mean? Yang Cheyan instinctively understood something. He looked at the villa beside Yang Ce, then back at Yang Ce. "You didn't even spare your neighbor? The girl next door, you also—you...?"
"No...!" Yang Ce broke out in a sweat, realizing he had let something slip, but he had no choice but to explain. "That's not it. When I first met her she wasn't my neighbor yet—it was only through a series of coincidences that we ended up together... And she and I actually have a formal engagement. Her family is at Butterfly Castle in Europe, and we've already held our betrothal ceremony..."
"What? An engagement? How come I didn't know?" Yang Cheyan stared at Yang Ce in utter bewilderment, not knowing what he was talking about. "When did you go and get engaged? I'm your father—doesn't anybody tell me anything?"
"Well... it's a long story!" Yang Jincong said with a laugh. "The reason I'm so skilled is that I actually have a master, and my master had an engagement agreement with this girl's family—that his disciple would marry this girl... So..."
Yang Cheyan and Mother Yang listened, utterly lost in the fog. "So you mean... you've got yourself another girlfriend?"
"Yeah... Mengyan knows about it too!" Yang Ce hastily brought Chen Shutang into it, making clear that Chen Shutang had no objections.
"Then, Qingqing, do you know about this too?" Mother Yang looked at Xiao Qing and asked.
"Of course I know. We live together every day..." Xiao Qing said with a smile. "We get along really well. Auntie, you don't need to worry that anything unpleasant will happen!"
"Oh, Daming, even I as your mother can't quite figure you out anymore. It seems that starting from your senior year of high school, you suddenly shot to fame—not only did you get into a good university, but you could make money too, you joined the Secret Investigation Bureau, your skills became extraordinary, and the women around you kept coming one after another, all of them beautiful, refined, and well-educated girls..." Mother Yang shook her head.
