Chapter 1655: Mother Chen Discovered Sister Lin and Sister Zhou

“Yang Ming, what brings you here at this time?” Mother Chen was curious. After all, Yang Ming should technically be in school at this time. Even if he came over, it was impossible for him to use the key to open the door by himself!

” Ah, mother, you’re home?” Chen Mengyan thought that her mother had gone to work when she saw that the gate was locked, and the house was empty. This was why she let Yang Ming open the door with his key. She didn’t expect that there was someone home.

“Little Yan?!” Mother Chen exclaimed in surprise and hastened her pace immediately. She ran staggeringly seeing her daughter standing at the door. Mother Chen couldn’t help but shed tears. “Little Yan, you’re really home? Great, mother has been worried sick!”

As she spoke, Mother Chen couldn’t help but embrace Chen Mengyan in her arms tightly. She patted Chen Mengyan’s back constantly. “Little Yan, if you didn’t return, mother would die.”

“…” Chen Mengyan looked at the smiling Yang Ming and suddenly felt embarrassed. She said awkwardly, “Mother, Yang Ming is still here!”

“Ah!” Mother Chen had gotten too excited when she saw that Chen Mengyan had returned home suddenly that she even ignored Yang Ming who was next to Chen Mengyan. She only remembered that there was still someone there after Chen Mengyan’s reminder, and immediately felt embarrassed. “Yang Ming, pardon me for letting you see me as a joke. Aunty is just too happy, and out of excitement I…”

“It’s okay, Aunty Chen. It’s only because you care.” Yang Ming laughed. “When I first saw Mengyan, I was the same.”

Victoria didn’t go upstairs and was left in the car downstairs. Yang Ming didn’t let her come up. Otherwise, some things would not be easy to explain. Yang Ming also didn’t want Victoria’s identity to be exposed completely as this also involved some of his privacy.

Mother Chen was quite satisfied with Yang Ming’s understanding. She smiled, “Right, Mengyan, how did you come back? Did your dad finally agree to use the offender in exchange for your return? It seems like he still has some conscience and knows what’s important!”

“Ah?” Chen Mengyan looked at her mother in shock after listening to her words. She was momentarily stunned before she finally understood what her mother meant. She immediately felt like crying and laughing at the same time. “Mother, it was Yang Ming who rescued me…”

“Yang Ming?” Mother Chen turned her eyes to Yang Ming in disbelief and said, “Mengyan, is this true? It’s not that your father used that drug dealer to get you back?”

“Mother, how can father be that kind of person? If he used the drug dealer to get me back, I would only look down on him.” Chen Mengyan shook her head and wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. “It was Yang Ming who used his connections and negotiated with the Blackhawk Gang’s leader, allowing Sister Mengxi and I to come back.”

“Used his connections?” Mother Chen was obviously not as naive as Chen Mengyan, and did not believe Yang Ming’s reasons. As a matter of fact, Chen Mengyan and Victoria were the Blackhawk Gang’s bargaining chip to return their leader’s son home safely. How could they just let them go? Even through connections, the Blackhawk Gang might still not agree, right?

Yang Ming’s intuition was incredibly sharp. He could immediately sense that Mother Chen was suspicious, and smiled as he spoke. “For an ordinary person, the Blackhawk Gang’s leader would definitely not give face. However, this person is my father’s business partner, and the current patriarch of Europe’s largest family – the Buffon Family. They hold huge power throughout Europe. Russia is also a European country, so the Blackhawk Gang had to compromise.”

“Buffon Family, I see. No wonder the Blackhawk Gang had to compromise…” Mother Chen’s face showed enlightenment after hearing Yang Ming’s explanation. It was no secret that the Ming Yang Heavy Industry was cooperating with the Buffon Family. Mother Chen was also clear about the Buffon Family’s power. Even if the Blackhawk Gang was an underworld gang, it was impossible for them to not give Old Buffon face. No matter how reluctant they were, they still had to swallow their dissatisfaction.

This was a big event that involved the survival of the entire Blackhawk Gang. The Blackhawk Gang’s Leader would likely be able to make the wise choice.

“This was just a fluke. If the Blackhawk Gang wasn’t in Europe this matter wouldn’t have been resolved so smoothly,” Yang Ming sighed and said doubtfully.

“That’s true. Anyway, Yang Ming, Aunty thanks you!” Mother Chen took a deep breath and said sincerely while patting Yang Ming’s shoulder.

“Aunty Chen, please don’t put it that way. Who would I save if not her…” Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Mengyan is indeed your daughter, but she’s also my girlfriend! ”

“Hehe. Anyway, you have a kind heart,” Mother Chen sighed, and said leisurely. “Before this, I was still not assured to give Mengyan to you for fear that you would not be good to her in the future, and that you wouldn’t be able to protect her. Today, however, I’m completely assured… ”

“Mother!” Chen Mengyan suddenly blushed and felt embarrassed. “What are you saying!”

Yang Ming also had a weird expression on his face. He didn’t expect that his few words would elicit so much emotion from Mother Chen.

“Little Yan, don’t say anything! Let me finish.” Mother Chen waved her hand and interrupted Chen Mengyan to prevent her from messing this up.

“Oh…” Chen Mengyan could only nod and keep quiet. Yang Ming also listened attentively.

“When you were together before this, there were some things that I didn’t say. That’s because you were both young. It was too early to say those words. So, I planned to wait until the day you get married,” Mother Chen said. “But now it seems that there’s no need to say those words anymore. ”

“What words?” Chen Mengyan blinked curiously. Her mother’s solemnity indicated that she must have something important to say.

“Yang Ming, you’re still entangled with two other women in addition to Little Yan. This is something that your Uncle Chen knows, and I know.” Mother Chen changed the topic of discussion and said somewhat seriously. “Although the Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia’s matters seemed coincidental and fated with you, I still don’t know how you made Little Yan accept this fact and maintain the equilibrium. What I’m trying to say is that you guys are still young. I will not meddle in this thing. However, when you and Little Yan get married one day, you will have to sever all other relationships. I don’t want my daughter to be unhappy!”

“This—” Yang Ming felt a shiver in his heart and cold sweat drenched his face. He initially thought that only Uncle Chen knew about this matter; he didn’t expect that Mother Chen also knew it in detail. Mother Chen’s decision especially made Yang Ming shocked and extremely awkward. It was completely impossible for him to give up on Zhou Jiajia and Lin Zhiyun for Chen Mengyan.

Not only Yang Ming, but even Chen Mengyan’s face had also changed at this moment. Although she had acquiesced to Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia’s existence in her heart, having her parents know about this was another matter. Chen Mengyan felt that she was in a tough position.

“Don’t say anything first, listen to me.” Mother Chen made a gesture to hint Yang Ming to be patient before she continued. “However, after today’s incident, I don’t think I still have to say this… ”

“En?” Yang Ming’s eyes brightened. He somewhat guessed what Mother Chen was going to say next, and felt joyful.

“There’s a good old saying. Coupled birds are from the same forest, but they go their separate ways in hard times.” Mother Chen looked deeply at Yang Ming, and continued, “Husband and wives are already like this, let alone boyfriend and girlfriend. At times like this, you, Yang Ming, still stood by Little Yan and saved her. This makes me really glad! Although you asked someone to go talk to the Blackhawk Gang’s leader this time, there were still some risks. I believe you know that this matter isn’t something that could be solved so simply. If the other party went crazy, he might even detain you there! You dared to go to Russia alone and bring back Little Yan, so what more can I say? With this matter, I can see your feelings toward Little Yan. So, there’s no need for me to say those words I intended to say. As long as Little Yan is happy and is fine with everything, I will no longer meddle with your matters…”

“This…” Yang Ming looked at Mother Chen with some disbelief. That’s it? Originally, Yang Ming thought that he was going to be properly lectured. After all, which mother who found out that her daughter’s boyfriend had other girlfriends would let it go so easily?

Chapter 1656: Chen Family Village’s Phone Call

Even Chen Mengyan had an expression of disbelief. “Mother, are you telling the truth?”

Mother Chen smiled and nodded calmly.

“Mother, you’re so good!” Chen Mengyan felt that a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She hugged Mother Chen and kissed her with joy. This matter had always bothered her, and she didn’t know how to explain it to her parents. Especially as Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia were living under the same roof as her. She was afraid that her parents would discover their secret.

However, how could Chen Mengyan not be happy upon hearing her mother finally agreeing to this? After all, getting her parent’s approval was what mattered most.

“That’s great?” Mother Chen couldn’t help but laugh bitterly upon seeing her daughter so happy. “Little Yan, mother will no longer pursue this matter. Yang Ming should be the happy one, what are you so happy for?”

“I—” Chen Mengyan’s face blushed, and felt that there was something wrong. This wasn’t something she should be happy about, so why was she happy? She glared at Yang Ming fiercely and turned away, ignoring him.

Mother Chen smiled. The knot in her heart disappeared with Chen Mengyan’s reaction. If her daughter didn’t care, why should she care?

As they spoke, the sound of keys opening the door was heard again. Chen Fei rushed in staggeringly and almost bumped into Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan who was standing right by the door.

“Old Chen, what are you doing?” Although Mother Chen was no longer furious at Chen Fei as Chen Mengyan had returned, this whole thing was in fact caused by Chen Fei. If it wasn’t for that drug dealer, would Chen Mengyan be kidnapped?

So, although she no longer hated Chen Fei in her heart, her tone was still cold and unfriendly.

“Mengyan, you’re really back!” Chen Fei ignored Mother Chen’s cynicism and smilingly looked at Chen Mengyan before he laid his gaze on Yang Ming. His big hand smashed directly onto Yang Ming’s shoulder. “Good kid, you didn’t let Uncle Chen down! Let’s go, come with me to my study room. We’ll have a good chat!”

“Oh… Okay…” Yang Ming said in his heart, It’s lucky that I’ve gone through training. Otherwise, my shoulder would’ve been smashed into pieces by you. If I was someone else, I would probably have fallen to the ground. If it wasn’t for my persistent training, how would I be able to withstand this hit?

“Eh?” Chen Fei was slightly confused. He was so excited to the point where he didn’t control the power of his hand. It was already too late by the time his palm smashed Yang Ming’s shoulder. Although he had withdrawn some of his strength, most of it had still fallen onto Yang Ming’s shoulder! Chen Fei was shocked immediately; he knew the strength of his palm!

It should be known that he had once won the Freestyle Grappling Champion title in the province’s police world. With this palm, Yang Ming should have either fallen to the ground, or have his arm dislocated. The best outcome would be that he simply received a bruise. However, Yang Ming seemed completely fine and handled it easily. His shoulder didn’t even shake, and his expression remained unchanged!

This made Chen Fei wonder secretly that Yang Ming indeed had some skills. No wonder Yang Ming was so valued over there!

“You and Mengyan should prepare some good food. Yang Ming and I shall celebrate with some beer tonight!” Chen Fei instructed Mother Chen.

“It’s no problem to prepare for Yang Ming. As for you, don’t even think about it!” Mother Chen gave a cold sneer. It was apparent that her anger still wasn’t dealt with.

Chen Fei also didn’t care. He pushed Yang Ming in the direction of the study. He closed the door after they entered the study. This was because the conversation they were about to have involved some confidential things that even Chen Mengyan and Mother Chen should not know about.

Mother Chen and Chen Mengyan looked at each other and smiled. “Little Yan, you’re tired too, right? Go and rest. I’ll prepare some food, and order a few bottles of beer from the supermarket downstairs and have them send it up.”

“Mother, I’m not tired.” Chen Mengyan shook her head and rejected Mother Chen’s request. “I’m not tired now. I’m in good spirits.”

” Oh? You’re not tired?” Mother Chen was a little shocked. “You probably didn’t sleep last night, right? Meitena Town is so far from Song Jiang. You probably have been on the run all this while, right?”

“No. Sister Mengxi was the one who sailed the boat earlier. Later on, it was Yang Ming who drove. I was resting all along, so I’m not tired at all.” Chen Mengyan smiled.

“Sister Meng Xi… Are you talking about Chen Mengxi?” Mother Chen’s gaze froze. She thought about the woman who had been kidnapped along with Chen Mengyan. Before this, she had never thought too much about Chen Mengxi’s identity as she was worried about Chen Mengyan’s safety. Now that things had settled down, Mother Chen started to doubt. “Little Yan, tell me the truth. That girl Chen Mengxi, what kind of person is she?”

“What kind of person? It’s nothing. She’s Yang Ming’s relative who doesn’t have a residence permit in Dashan. So, Yang Ming helped her acquire a residence permit here to go to school with me.” Chen Mengyan blinked. She did not say too much about Victoria’s true origin and identity. Chen Mengyan faintly felt that this should be a secret. Although Chen Mengxi had come clean with her, she still couldn’t speak simply on her behalf or it might cause unnecessary trouble.

“Relative?” Mother Chen was still frowning. “Little Yan, don’t be fooled by appearances. Why did I not hear from the Dahai Brothers that the Yang Family had relatives in Dashan? This person, is she also Yang Ming’s…”

“What?” Chen Mengyan froze and looked at her mother puzzled.

“You child, why are you so careless?” Mother Chen glanced helplessly at her daughter and said affectionately. “I suspect that Chen Mengxi also has some relationship with Yang Ming? Is she also his girlfriend?”

“Ah?” Chen Mengyan thought that her mother suspected that there were some problems with Chen Mengxi’s identity. She didn’t think that her mother was worried about this! She immediately felt like crying and laughing. “Mother, you’re overthinking. Sister Mengxi definitely isn’t. I’m sure about this!”

“Really? That’s good then.” Mother Chen nodded. She didn’t continue seeing how determined Chen Mengyan was. “Alright then, let’s go to the kitchen and cook together.”

The mother and daughter were talking, but the phone rang in the living room. Mother Chen walked over and picked up the phone. “Hello, how are you? May I know who you are looking for?”

Mother Chen thought that it was some colleague of either Chen Mengyan or Chen Fei who had called in concern, and didn’t think too much. However, a familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

“Little Yu, I’m your big brother Chen Zhifu!” A male’s voice came from the phone.

” Ah, it’s big cousin brother!” Mother Chen’s name was Chen Fangyu, and Little Yu was her nickname. Chen Fei and were both from the Chen Family Village. Most of the people in the Chen Family Village were somewhat related to each other. Cousins, uncles, were all around the village. Chen Zhifu was one of them. He was one of the more famous figures in the village.

She called him as big cousin brother, but in fact, she was not related to him at all. It was just that everyone in the village called him that. In his early years, Chen Zhifu had returned to the north from Guangzhou after selling BP machine parts, and made a fortune out of it. Now, he was running a fairly good company that sold agricultural products. He could earn millions in a year, and was a celebrity in the Chen Family Village.

Of course, Chen Zhifu was not the richest person in the Chen Family Village. The richest person in the Chen Family Village was Chen Zhifu’s brother, Chen Zhiye. However, Chen Zhiye had offended a big punk in Song Jiang, Old Hu San. Back then, Hu San commanded great power in Song Jiang, let alone the villages and counties nearby. Chen Zhiye could only run far from home toward the south. It had been eight years since he left. Who knew that he would meet an important person by chance. That important person was a big boss from a foreign country who was starting a business in China. Chen Zhiye had always been working under him and played an important role.
