In Kang’s villa, Kang Xiang was furious.
Ever since that ridiculous wedding, he has been busy dealing with the accusations from the company’s shareholders. And because his son was the cause of the trouble, he couldn’t tell the truth and could only endure it.
At this moment, he was holding the secret letter sent by Qiao Zhenhua in his hand, and the burning anger in his chest overwhelmed his usual calmness.
“Where is the son of your distant relative? Call him over!!”
Kang Xiang hadn’t been this angry for a long time. Mrs. Kang hurriedly ran to find Yang Han. As soon as he saw Yang Han, Kang Xiang strode forward and slapped him hard in the face.
“Yang Han, is my Kang family not treating you well? Is this how you repay us?!”
Mrs. Kang was startled, and just as she was about to mediate the situation, Kang Xiang threw a stack of information at her.
“Look, look, it’s your distant nephew who knocked your son out the day before the wedding, causing him to miss the wedding!”
Mrs. Kang was shocked and immediately picked up the document. When she saw it, she almost fainted.
She suddenly turned to the silent man on her side and said, “Yang Han, why are you doing this?!”
Kang Xiang said angrily, “You can deal with the Qiao family if you want, but you can’t use our Kang family as a springboard. Get out of our house now, and don’t let me see you in Rongchuan from now on. Or else every time I see you, I’ll make sure that you know what happens when you offend me, Kang Xiang.”
“Now, get out of here!”
Since Shen Boyan and Qiao Zhenhua joined forces, Yang Han had a vague premonition that this day was coming, so when the incident was really exposed, he wasn’t that shocked.
He walked out of Kang’s house with a sullen face and without looking back. He still has his own house in Rongchuan. As soon as he parked his car downstairs in the community, several men dressed like hooligans walked towards him unhurriedly.
Yang Han himself was in this business and had a keen sense of such things. He was about to quickly turn back and walk towards the elevator when someone stopped him from behind.
Yang Han retreated alertly: “What do you want to do?”
“What do we want?” A young man in the lead burst the bubble gum in his mouth. He stepped forward and grabbed Yang Han’s collar, looking fierce like a devil. “What do you think we want to do?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know what you have done. Old Hei and the others have already spilled the beans.”
Yang Han endured the insulting slap on his face from the young man. His brain remained rational, and he said calmly and logically, “I don’t know what you are talking about, and I don’t know any Old Hei. If you think I’ve done something bad, you can call the police.”
“Call the police?” Lu Cai smiled, and the next second, he punched Yang Han in the abdomen.
Yang Han clutched his stomach and fell down with an “ouch.” When he raised his head again, a circle of people had gathered around him. They were looking at him like they were looking at dead objects.
Lu Cai lowered his head and looked down with indifferent eyes. “Okay, we’ll beat you up first, then you can call the police.”
…….
…….
In the corner of the parking lot, a man who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face was rolling on the ground; his clothes were covered with dust, and he was wailing silently. A man roughly pulled out the cloth gagged in his mouth, and only a few painful sobs escaped.
Lu Cai gently stretched out his foot and stepped on one of his palms: “I’m warning you one last time: don’t touch people you can’t touch. Not everyone is at your mercy, and the next time, it won’t be as simple as just a beating.”
The footsteps drifted away, soon followed by the sound of a car’s engine starting. Two blinding lights flashed quickly in the remaining corners of his vision, and soon the parking lot returned to silence.
Yang Han calmed down on the ground for a while, then slowly stood up with support.
The flesh all over his body was screaming with pain. He finally reached a pillar, and the cell phone in his handbag rang.
“Hello.” His voice was hoarse and weak, but the person on the other side of the phone had no time to care or bother to listen.
“Hey, boss, what should we do if the tax bureau comes to check our accounts?!”
…….
…….
At noon the next day, Xia Shu’an brought together the two elders of his family, the Duan family, as well as a semi-disabled person, and everyone had a great time.
This was the first time for Xia parents to meet Duan Congyi and his daughter, but this didn’t affect their enthusiasm. They now regard Shen Boyan as their “daughter-in-law” and are no longer as timid as when they first found out who their son’s boyfriend is. Hey, no matter what title you have outside, at home, you’re our son’s boyfriend.
Shen Boyan’s background is a mystery, but the two elders also vaguely know that his family relationship might not be that good; that’s why they never mention it. However, the older generation can’t rest assured if they don’t meet the parents of the other side, so today’s gathering finally put an end to their worry.
At the dinner table, Mother Xia warmly entertained the only little guest. Father Xia, who was several years older than Duan Congyi, chatted happily with the latter.
“Congyi, where are you from?”
“I’m from Changning.”
“Channing? It’s not far from Rongchuan. Changning is my hometown. I was born there.”
“In this case, we can be considered fellow townsmen!”
“An’an, do you still remember? When you were in high school, you also stayed at your grandparents’ house in Changning for a while.”
“Remember, of course I remember.”
“But, Xiao Shen, I remember that you’re from Gaoping City, right? How do you know Congyi?” Father Xia suddenly asked in confusion.
Duan Congyi raised his eyelids and said nothing. Shen Boyan put down the teacup with a natural and friendly smile on his face.
“My ancestors also lived in Changning. Later, I met Uncle Duan. Uncle Duan saw that I had no relatives, so he adopted me.”
“Oh, oh, that’s it.”
The words “no relatives” are not easy to delve into, so the Xia parents didn’t continue the topic and only invited everyone to eat.
Duan Congyi had a slight smile on his lips and said nothing.
Being fellow townsmen has brought the two families closer together. As hot dishes continue to be served, the private room, which isn’t particularly large, is filled with warm laughter.
“Hey An’an, Xiao Shen’s hand is injured. You don’t even know how to take care of him!”
Xia Shu’an looked puzzled. Where did he not take care of him? He put the food in his bowl. Looking down, it turned out that Shen Boyan had an extra shrimp in his bowl.
“…”
He took the shrimp resignedly and began to peel it.
Shen Boyan’s tone was filled with fake innocence: “I’m sorry, I forgot that my hands are inconvenient.”
“…”
Mother Xia saw that the two children were “deeply affectionate” and getting along harmoniously, and then turned to Duan Yiyou on the left, saying, “Yiyou, you can order whatever food you want.”
Duan Yiyou said with a sweet and cute face, “The dishes I want to eat are all there. Grandma, I also want to eat prawns.”
“Okay, okay!” Mother Xia was overjoyed: “Grandma will peel it for you!”
Xia Shu’an: “…”
The dinner table was full of traditional Chinese hustle and bustle and festivity. After exchanging cups, Duan Congyi also opened his heart somewhat and sighed: “I didn’t expect that Boyan would be able to find a boyfriend in the past six months. I thought he would be alone for the rest of his life.”
After saying that, he glanced meaningfully in Shen Boyan’s direction, as if he were remembering the huge impact of the phone call that made him doubt his life on the first day he came to see his godson.
Shen Boyan acted like he didn’t notice that gaze.
Mother Xia: “Hey, half a year? Didn’t Xiao Shen already know our An’an when he came to Rongchuan a year ago?”
The version Xia Shuan gave to Xia’s parents was that they had already known each other when Shen Boyan first came to Rongchuan.
After all, if he said they met when their family went bankrupt, it smells too much like an inappropriate transaction was made.
Xia Shu’an: “…”
Shen Boyan turned his head and smiled like a humble, good-natured junior: “At that time, our relationship hadn’t been confirmed yet, and I hadn’t talked to Uncle Duan about it, which is why he thought that I had only known Xiao Shu for half a year.”
“So that’s it…”
The air was filled with a seemingly profound meaning, but fortunately, at this moment, one sentence resolved this potential crisis: “Grandma, this meat is delicious; give it to grandma!”
Mother Xia immediately said, “Okay, okay, Youyou is such a good child!”
Shen Boyan looked at Duan Yiyou, who was smiling like an angel, and gave her a smile that said, “You can tell me how much you want for the new year’s money.”
Duan Yiyou: You said it!
Xia Shu’an, who understood their interaction: “…”
All in all, the reunion meal was a pleasant one, and by the middle of the day, the families on both sides of the table were largely full and chatting over a cup of tea.
Father Xia: “You’re leaving today?”
Duan Congyi: “Yes, the child had school.”
In China, no matter what, nothing is as important as a child going to school, and even Mother Xia, who wanted her to stay, had to swallow her words.
She said regretfully, “Then let Youyou come over during the next holiday.”
Duan Congyi looked down at his daughter and asked, “What do you think?”
Duan Yiyou said loudly, “I want to come to grandma’s house to play. I also want to play with the two brothers.”
Mother Xia was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear: “Okay, okay, come to grandma’s house to play!”
The family atmosphere became stronger.
Because the Duan family’s father and daughter will be leaving in the afternoon, they can’t stay for too long. When they parted, the two families agreed to visit each other from time to time. Then they sent the two back to the hotel.
Reluctantly watching the child get into the car, Mother Xia took a step behind and sighed at Xia Shu’an: “Youyou is so cute.”
Xia Shu’an: Smile.
Mother Xia continued to sigh: “It would be great if I had such a granddaughter.”
Xia Shu’an looked at her with tender eyes. Anyway, this wish had no hope in this life, so he can’t allow others to “look at the plum blossom to quench their thirst1Console oneself with false hopes..”
