Chapter 391: You’re a Good Man
Chapter 391: You’re a Good Man
"Then I’ll keep you company for a while. I have something to do tonight, so I can’t stay too long."
Yang Cheng swallowed and told himself to stay calm, not to be easily charmed by this woman.
Since he already had some wine during the kiss earlier, Yang Cheng decided not to restrain himself any longer, poured himself a glass of red wine, and clinked glasses with Ye Xixue.
"If you can’t solve the issue with Murong Hai, I can help you. Consider it a repayment for the twelve billion debt."
Ye Xixue had promised earlier that as long as he protected Ye Ling’Er, it would offset the debt. Since she was so generous, he couldn’t take it for granted. He could still help where he could.
"Murong Hai can’t cause too much trouble. If I talked to Lin’Er’s father, he could directly make Murong Hai disappear. I just remembered things from the past, feeling a bit melancholic."
Ye Xixue took a big sip of red wine and slumped on the sofa, her bosom almost exposed, with no intention of covering up.
"Don’t catch a cold."
Yang Cheng was embarrassed to look, reaching out to pull up her clothes, covering the exposed skin.
Ye Xixue grabbed his hand, looking at him tenderly, seemingly lost in memories.
"When we first met, he was the one like you who covered me with clothes, chased away the bullies, and said he fell in love at first sight and insisted on marrying me."
Yang Cheng knew the person she referred to was Ye Ling’Er’s biological father, probably someone with an unusual status.
"I was also attracted by his gentlemanly demeanor, dated him, lived with him, and later got pregnant with Lin Er. That’s when I learned about his wealthy family. His family didn’t allow a woman like me to enter their house, but he secretly married me against his family’s wishes. However, some things happened later, and I was forced to leave Yanjing."
Ye Xixue grew increasingly saddened, tears streaming down her charming cheeks.
Yang Cheng raised his hand to wipe her tears, hugging her closely.
No choice!
He couldn’t stand seeing women cry, especially a stunning beauty like her.
"I brought Lin Er to Peach Blossom County to develop. It was difficult at first, but fortunately, the man didn’t really abandon us heartlessly. He gave me a lot of money to start a business, which allowed me to develop Jiulong Mountain Villa to its current status."
Ye Xixue was overwhelmed with tears, her nose and cheeks turning red, appearing quite pitiful.
Even with money and resources, establishing such a large industry like Jiulong Mountain Villa was no easy feat. Yang Cheng knew how much she had sacrificed.
"Yang Cheng, do you think if you truly love a woman, would you give her enough trust?"
Ye Xixue looked up at him, asking seriously.
"Of course I would."
Yang Cheng answered without hesitation. For instance, he loved Yang Rou; no matter what happened, he would unconditionally trust Yang Rou.
"You’re a good man, but unfortunately, he wasn’t."
Ye Xixue buried her head in his arms, sobbing quietly, her tears soaking his clothes.
Yang Cheng felt helpless; he was originally here to diagnose Ye Xixue, but now it seemed he had become her confidante.
After comforting Ye Xixue for a while, he finally got her to sleep and quietly left the room.
Seeing several bodyguards standing at the door, Yang Cheng instructed, "Protect Manor Master Ye well. Before she wakes up, don’t allow anyone, including Murong Hai, to approach."
"Yes!"
The bodyguards knew Yang Cheng was a distinguished guest of Manor Master Ye and all responded in unison.
As soon as Yang Cheng got in the car, he received a call from Chu Xiaoyu, learning that after he left, Fang Ling and Ye Ling’Er had actually quarreled.
"Ling Ling got angry and publicly revealed Miss Ye’s identity. Could this cause trouble for you?"
Chu Xiaoyu’s voice was somewhat tense.
Earlier, she had managed to persuade Fang Ling to come back, apologized, and coaxed her daughter into going home first.
But thinking it over carefully, she felt she had to inform Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng’s expression changed slightly, immediately starting the car, "I’m coming right over; find someone to accompany Ye Ling’Er, don’t let her be alone."
"Okay, got it!"
Chu Xiaoyu sensed his urgency, feeling uneasy, suspecting something had happened.
Not trusting anyone else to accompany Ye Ling’Er, she hurried towards the direction of the employee dormitory.
By now, the sky had completely darkened, and the employees, tired from a day of work, had gone to bed early. The dormitory corridor was pitch black.
Cheng Ruonan stealthily entered the factory, finding the place as rundown as the information suggested, with poor dormitory conditions.
Unexpectedly, a thousand-dollar lady like Ye Ling’Er could bear to live in such a place, no wonder it took her so long to find Ye Ling’Er’s whereabouts.
She carefully walked, ready to search each room, when she heard footsteps not far away. She quickly hid in the stairwell, secretly observing the approacher.
A gentle woman walked up, heading straight to a dormitory door and knocking. Then the door opened, revealing Ye Ling’Er’s face.
Cheng Ruonan’s eyes widened with surprise and delight; it was indeed effortless.
Someone had shown her the way, saving her the trouble of searching.
Inside the room, Chu Xiaoyu spoke first, "Miss Ye, Ling Ling was thoughtless, I’ve reprimanded her, and I apologize on her behalf."
"General Manager Chu, there’s no need for an apology. We’re just having a little argument between girls—no need to hit her and I’m the one causing trouble for you."
"I’ll plan to move out of the factory when Yang Cheng returns, as I’ve been a bother for quite a while."
Ye Ling’Er’s tone was distant and polite.
"That’s not okay! Actually, even if you and Yang Cheng don’t say, I can guess that you’re staying at the factory not for experience but to avoid someone or something."
"How about this: the new factory’s dormitory is ready; you can move there, and I’ll keep Fang Ling here, so you won’t meet."
Chu Xiaoyu tried hard to retain her, holding Ye Ling’Er’s hand, with sincerity in her eyes.
Ye Ling’Er hesitated. She quite liked the factory, but her relationship with Fang Ling was strained, making her reluctant to stay on someone else’s territory.
"Xiaochen is busy and can’t keep running back and forth. Staying at the factory makes it convenient for him to visit you."
Chu Xiaoyu continued to persuade.
"Then I’ll trouble General Manager Chu."
Ye Ling’Er finally agreed, mainly wanting to see more of Yang Cheng. If he could sleep with her every day, that would be even better.
Just as they reached an agreement, a knock was heard at the door.
Chu Xiaoyu thought the visitor was Yang Cheng and opened the door without any guard. Suddenly, a puff of white smoke drifted over her face, and a strange aroma filled her nose, leaving her dizzy and she softly collapsed to the ground.
"General Manager Chu, what’s wrong!"
Ye Ling’Er exclaimed, quickly reaching out to assist, only to see a person in black standing at the door.
