Chapter 370 [The Outside World Has Nothing to Do with Me]
After going on to eat, there was no taste. Yang Chen finished the big bowl of porridge. Lin Ruoxi took a few mouthfuls, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks like Hui Lin.
Wang Ma tidied up the things on the dining table like a storm, but directly pushed Hui Lin to make tea. Wang Ma would not dare to make tea in front of such a person.
What made Wang Ma even more puzzled was, why did such a character come from home for no reason? Could it be that Lin Ruoxi's business is so big that the country's leaders even come to meet her?
Yang Gongming was staring at a pair of famous painter's oil paintings that Lin Ruoxi had bought. Seeing that Yang Chen and the others were already waiting for him, the old lady urged, "Master, we're done eating."
Only then did Yang Gongming turn around with a smile, pointed to the oil painting on the wall, and said to Lin Ruoxi with a smile: "The paintings of Westerners look pretty, but I always feel that it's better to take pictures."
"Well", Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to answer, saying that he has no artistic talent? Are you courting death? Said he was right? I felt uncomfortable, so I just said "hmm".
Yang Gongming didn't mind either, he turned to Yang Chen and said, "Yang Chen, you chose your name yourself, right?"
Yang Chen nodded lightly, "It's just a code name, it doesn't matter what your surname is or what your name is."
"Young people, you can't say that. You can't forget your roots. Just like loving your own country, you have to love yourself first, and then love your home. If you can care about your own roots, what else can you do?" Whatever you want?" Yang Gongming said softly.
Yang Chen suddenly felt like he was punching the cotton flower with his fist. The old man's words were very soft, and he even had a smile on his face. The so-called "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face", people talk to you in such a soft voice, you always It's not good to confront him head-on, and it's shameful to bully the elderly.
"You won't talk about my name with me today, right?" Yang Chen could only try his best to get to the point, trying to finish the talk quickly.
Yang Gongming nodded, "It's something more important, but... I want to...find a quieter place to talk about it, I wonder if it's okay?"
"There's nothing to hide, just say it if you want to say it, and pull it down if you don't want to say it," Yang Chen said impatiently.
"Yang Chen, you can't talk like that"! Lin Ruoxi frowned, and glared at Yang Chen. This guy was too impolite, no matter whether the other party was someone she didn't want to see, after all, he was an elder, and besides, they were all talking about it, how could he be so rude? What about talking?
"Old Yang, if you don't mind, how about going to my study?" Lin Ruoxi suggested.
Yang Chen also knew that his tone was a bit heavy, seeing that Lin Ruoxi took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, he didn't say anything else.
Yang Gongming was not angry either, he nodded happily and said, "Then thank you, little girl."
Lin Ruoxi got up, took the initiative to make a gesture of invitation, and brought Yang Gongming and the old fù up to the second floor.
Before going upstairs, Lin Ruoxi gave Yang Chen a dissatisfied look, the meaning was obvious - "Come up with me"!
Yang Chen felt strange, he rarely asked about his own affairs on weekdays, and she was not the kind of woman who likes to take care of other people's affairs, but today, why is Lin Ruoxi so concerned about her and the old man's affairs? Is it because of the noble status of the old man?
Actually, Lin Ruoxi herself was a little strange about this question, she just felt that she should behave better in front of this old man, that's all.
Yang Chen saw that Lin Ruoxi brought Yang Gongming up, knowing that it was nothing if he couldn't go up, so he could only walk upstairs slowly.
Hui Lin was downstairs, just about to make tea for Yang Gongming, when she saw the four of them had already gone upstairs, stunned in place, extremely anxious.
Coming to the entrance of the study, Lin Ruoxi opened the door for Yang Gongming, Yang Gongming said "thank you" with a smile, and entered the study together with the old woman.
What made Lin Ruoxi feel ashamed and blushed was that before the kind old lady entered the study, she said with a smile, "The little girl is so pretty."
Although it is a kind of pampering praise from an old man to a child, but it has been many years since I felt that the holy king of Wudong Qiankun created a holy king, general night, kills the gods, seals the throne, seeks the demon, proud of the world, the ninth heaven, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, kills the gods at night Seal the Throne Seeking Demons, Audacious Nine Heavens, Strongest Abandoned Young Master, Great Zhou Royal Family, Martial Qiankun General, Night Killing Gods Lin Ruoxi, who had received this kind of treatment from the Da Zhou royal family, was still very uncomfortable.
Afterwards, Yang Chen also entered the study. Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi planned to close the door and go downstairs.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yang Gongming in the study,
"Ruoxi, come in too, you are qualified to listen to these things."
Lin Ruoxi's tender body trembled slightly, Yang Gongming actually knew who he was? Qualified to listen? What's the meaning? Could it be that Yang Chen is really...
With some apprehension, Lin Ruoxi hesitated, nodded, and walked into the study, closing the door.
All of a sudden, the study room became quiet, and a few rays of morning sunlight came in through the shutters of the window, warming it up and dissipating a bit of the dullness.
Yang Gongming looked around, looked at the dazzling array of books, and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, are you reading these books?"
Lin Ruoxi responded quietly, "Yes."
"That's right, although the ancients said that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, but a literate woman can always be more sensible, especially if she wants to take care of the affairs of a big family, it can't be done without ink This is a good thing." Yang Gongming looked at Yang Chen somewhat relievedly, and said, "Yang Chen, grandpa is very satisfied that you married a daughter-in-law."
grandfather! ?
Lin Ruoxi opened her watery eyes to the maximum in an instant, her brain was almost starved of oxygen, she turned her head dully, and looked at the silent Yang Chen beside her.
Yang Chen frowned, he really didn't expect that Yang Gongming would say so simply and casually about their blood relationship.
"I never said, what kind of grandfather do I have, I think you have misunderstood the old man."
Speaking of this, Yang Chen calmed down instead, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, he replied.
Yang Gongming didn't mind either, as if he didn't hear Yang Chen's words, a few thoughts flashed in his eyes, and he said in an erratic tone:
"The winter more than twenty years ago was almost at this time. My son Yang Pojun and my daughter-in-law, Guo Xuehua, who hadn't entered the house, gave birth to a grandson of mine. However, both of them kept it from me. , because this child was conceived before my daughter-in-law entered the door.
They think I do not know, in fact, I already know. Luckily, they didn't kill the kid, and if they did, I'd definitely stop them.
Since it is God who decides to let the child be born, he should not be obliterated. Even if he is not born, it is a life of our Yang family, my grandson or granddaughter.
It's a pity that at that time, I was an important hurdle in running for the chairman of the National People's Congress. Up and down the Yang family, and over a hundred men, women, and children from the collateral clan were all waiting for me to take the top position to consolidate the family's status. At that time, it was the era when our China was developing the fastest. Any person's superior position is equivalent to the absolute prosperity of a family. And if we fail in the election, as the Yang family with a deep foundation, so many state-owned enterprises linked to our family, so many local officials, it is inevitable that they will be suppressed, and even have no bones left.
At that time, I didn't have the time to take care of the secret birth of my grandson. I even knew very well that giving birth to a child out of wedlock would be a scandal for a family like ours in that era.
My son and daughter-in-law are also very aware of that, so they put my grandson in an orphanage. I plan to bring the child back after I finish the campaign..."
As Yang Gongming slowly narrated, Yang Chen's complexion was uncertain.
Lin Ruoxi finally understood the truth of this matter, from the shock at the beginning, gradually, the gaze that looked at Yang Chen beside him softened.
So, is his life experience so rough?
"Later, I lived up to everyone's expectations, and with the help of so many students and colleagues, I helped the Yang family obtain a solid foundation for survival and development in Yanjing.
I remember that on the day I was elected, the first thing I thought of was that we should find a way to bring our grandson back. If it wasn't for the little guy to go to the orphanage to suffer, how could his grandpa be elected safely?
However, when my son and daughter-in-law fù went to that orphanage again, it was actually demolished, and the group of children disappeared, not to mention the little guy in our family who was only a few months old. "Yang Gongming's eyes showed a bit of sadness. What happened back then was vivid in his memory, but it made the old man sigh long and hard.
Hearing this, the old woman beside Yang Gongming also had a sad face, and silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the expressionless Yang Chen beside her. It turned out that it was true that he had no parents since he was a child. He lost all his relatives just like that when he was a baby. How did he grow up?
At the same time, Lin Ruoxi understood why Yang Chen said "never beg" to Guo Xuehua who knelt down that day, and also understood the real reason why he didn't kill Yang Lie... It seems that Yang Chen knew all this a long time ago .
"Do you think it's useful to say this? From the time I can remember, there are no so-called relatives in my world. Just like my personal resume in the police station, I have forgotten everything before the age of five." Whether it was adopted or sold, some of them are just a surname that someone told me. After I was five years old, I went abroad. Until now, I can stand here, I don’t know I know how I survived." Yang Chen laughed at himself, "Monkey Sun also knows that he jumped out of a rock. When I become no longer like a human being, who can tell me where I came from? Came into this world? Let go of the pain in your body, you know, how do you feel when you don’t even know what you are? The strongest abandoned young master of the Zhou royal family will kill the gods and seal the throne at night to seek the demons and proud of the world. Jiang Ye kills the gods, seals the throne, seeks the demons, overwhelms the world, the nine heavens, the strongest abandoned son, the Da Zhou royal family? What is your so-called sorrow?"
Yang Gongming was dumb, looking at Yang Chen, silent and speechless.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were a little red, at this moment, Yang Chen's usual casual aura was gone, as if his whole body was covered by a desolate desert, lifeless and hopeless.
"My heart is already very tired. I don't have the idea of revenge, but I hope you don't come to disturb my life. I just want to live quietly so that the outside world has nothing to do with me." Yang Chen finished speaking , turned around and wanted to walk out of the study.
"Wait a moment!"
Yang Gongming suddenly shouted.
Yang Chen paused, and was about to turn around, but he heard a deep vibration from the floor.
this voice? Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, turned around and saw that Yang Gongming was kneeling on the ground with a serious face!
Not only Yang Chen, but even Lin Ruoxi and that old woman's expressions changed drastically!
Whether it is an elder or a leader, Yang Gongming's kneeling for his grandson is definitely something that challenges the limit of human psychology!
