The darkness faded, the morning light broke, and the city that had been sleeping all night began to wake up. Yan Yue put out the cigarette in his hand and took a comfortable bath. At six o'clock, he appeared in the restaurant downstairs, dressed neatly.
In the restaurant, Yan Yue's grandfather Yin Yongde was already sitting there. Yin Yongde was an old man with gray hair and a vigorous spirit. Perhaps because he was getting older and sleeping less and less, he got up at five o'clock every day, practiced boxing and took care of flowers, and had breakfast on time at six o'clock.
"Ayue, how did you sleep?" Yin Yongde asked Yan Yue kindly.
The curve of Yan Yue's mouth was just right, "Very good."
Yin Yongde smiled and asked Yan Yue to sit next to him.
"Ayue, what are your plans for today? If not, go out for a walk with me this old man in the morning. In the afternoon, your mother will come over and we can have dinner together."
"Okay!" Yan Yue's expression remained unchanged, even the curve of his mouth did not change.
Yin Yongde saw this and felt a little uncomfortable. Yan Yue's smile was impeccable from beginning to end, but he did not see the slightest smile in Yan Yue's eyes. With a silent sigh, he said nothing and easily changed the topic to breakfast.
Yin Yongde lived near Fenghuang Mountain Park in Fengcheng. He liked to climb Fenghuang Mountain when he had nothing to do. Since he was going to climb the mountain, Yan Yue's shirt and trousers were not suitable. After breakfast, Yan Yue went back to his room to change clothes. Yin Yongde was waiting in the yard, bending over to look at his precious Cymbidium orchids. The housekeeper came over, handed the phone to Yin Yongde, and whispered, "Yes, Miss."
The young lady the housekeeper was talking about was Yan Yue's mother, Yin Yongde's only daughter, Yin Qinglan. Hearing that it was his daughter's call, Yin Yongde picked up the phone.
"Why are you here so early today?" Yin Yongde asked with a smile.
"Dad." Although Yin Qinglan is nearly fifty years old now, she still acts like a little girl in front of Yin Yongde. "Have you mentioned dinner to A Yue tonight?"
Hearing the urgency in Yin Qinglan's words, Yin Yongde thought his daughter was concerned about her grandson, so he comforted her and said in a gentle tone, "Yes."
"So, what about Xiaoya?"
Yin Yongde's face darkened, "You want to bring Xiaoya with you?"
"Dad, Xiaoya is also your granddaughter, you..."
Yin Yongde suppressed his anger and interrupted her, "I didn't say Xiaoya is not my granddaughter. If A Yue is here, don't bring Xiaoya here. Okay, this matter is settled."
Yin Yongde hung up the phone and sighed helplessly. When he turned around, Yan Yue was standing behind him.
"Ayue?"
Yan Yue acted as if he hadn't heard anything, his expression remained the same. Yin Yongde looked at Yan Yue hesitantly, wanting to say something, but in the end, under Yan Yue's eyes that seemed to understand everything, he couldn't say a word.
The Yin family and the Yan family are a mess.
More than 20 years ago, the Yin and Yan families got married, and the only daughter of the Yin family married the only son of the Yan family. Yin Yongde had only one daughter, and all his huge family property was used as a dowry. The Yin family's company was naturally merged into the Yan family, and they jointly established the Hepu Group. The two families agreed that the future heirs of the Hepu Group could only be the children of Yin Qinglan and Yan Shihui.
The Yin and Yan families had expected very well at the time. Whether it was the merger of the company or the getting along of Yin Qinglan and Yan Shihui before marriage, everything went very smoothly. However, no one expected that the two would find that their personalities were incompatible after marriage, which led to constant conflicts. Yan Yue's father, Yan Shihui, was cold and hard-tempered, and most of his energy was focused on his career. Yan Yue's mother, Yin Qinglan, was spoiled since childhood. She was naive and self-centered, and she needed to be held in the palm of someone's hand all the time. Yan Shihui needed a virtuous wife who could help him manage the family business, while Yin Qinglan wanted a good man who centered everything around her. Under this fundamental disagreement, the relationship between the two broke down completely. The first to cheat was Yan Shihui, and Yin Qinglan soon pursued her own happiness after making a big fuss several times. The two had lovers and children outside, and Yan Yue became the redundant one.
After Yan Shihui cheated on her, the Yin and Yan families actually considered letting the two divorce and remarry. But after a few years of merging the companies of the Yin and Yan families, all the industries were mixed together, and the division of property was the biggest problem. Yin Yongde discussed with Yan Yue's grandfather several times how to divide the property, but before they could come up with a suitable plan, Yin Qinglan said in a high-profile manner that she had found her own happiness. Since Yan Shihui can find women outside, she can also find other men.
Yin Yongde was furious at Yin Qinglan's behavior. Originally, Yan Shihui was in the wrong and the Yin family took the initiative, but Yin Qinglan did this, and the two of them were equally guilty and no one could laugh at each other. Although Yin Yongde was angry, Yin Qinglan was his daughter who had been spoiled since she was a child. He had no choice but to accept her behavior. After the two families discussed again, they tacitly agreed that Yan Shihui and Yin Qinglan would maintain the status of marriage for various reasons, but live their own lives in private. As for the Hepu Group, which was jointly owned by the Yin and Yan families, their child Yan Yue would be the only heir.
Over the years, Yin Yongde felt guilty about Yan Yue. The absence of Yan Yue's parents during her growth was certainly due to the irresponsibility of both parents, but to some extent it was also caused by a wrong decision made by him and Yan Yue's grandfather. Now that Yan Yue is older, her relationship with her family is getting weaker. Yin Yongde saw it, but he could do nothing. He sighed and thought, this is fine. Yan Yue is Yan Yue, and Yin Ya is Yin Ya. His daughter is confused, but he is not.
When Yan Yue accompanied Yin Yongde to climb to the top of Phoenix Mountain, Lu Lingxi had just gotten up.
He was too excited last night, and fell asleep at almost two o'clock. He slept a little longer in the morning without realizing it. As soon as he opened his eyes, Lu Lingxi smelled the aroma of food. He rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes, and opened the door to see Wang Shuxiu busy in the kitchen.
"Get up, wash your face and get ready for dinner."
Wang Shuxiu had just come back from her night shift and bought some soy milk at the gate of the community. She disliked the unclean oil used to fry dough sticks, so she made her own dough and baked pancakes.
Lu Lingxi agreed and quickly washed up. He was about to help set the table, but when he accidentally saw the backyard, he was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. In just one night, the tomato seeds planted last night had sprouted. The green sprouts pushed out of the soil and filled the entire backyard.
Lu Lingxi put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran to the balcony, looking at everything in front of him in surprise. His mental scan spread out, and the young sprouts that had not yet taken shape were spinning in front of him.
Planting tomatoes successfully rewards you with +50 Plant Hearts
The prompt on the panel lit up, and Lu Lingxi received such a large reward for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel excited. Originally, he looked at the panel showing the upgrade of 0＼1000 (1st level) and was a little worried that his progress was too slow and he couldn't upgrade, but now he was relieved.
He stayed in the backyard for a long time. Wang Shuxiu came to call him for dinner and was stunned when she saw the backyard. In just one day, the backyard had completely changed. The weeds were cleared and the ground looked turned over. I don't know what was planted there.
What did you plant? Wang Shuxiu looked at Lu Lingxi in confusion.
Lu Lingxi also came back to his senses at this time. He had already thought of an excuse for these seeds, saying that these seeds were given to him by the flower grower when he was helping him in the hospital. He thought it was fun, so he thought about trying to grow one.
Lu Lingxi said this, but Wang Shuxiu didn't say anything. Anyway, these seeds were not worth much, and the other party was probably just using them to trick Lu Lingxi, a silly boy, into working as a laborer. As for Lu Lingxi's farming, it was okay for the backyard to grow grass if it was empty, as long as Lu Lingxi was happy.
"Alright, alright, eat first. Look how happy you are. You have all day to mess with these things. The soy milk will get cold."
Wang Shuxiu went back to the living room after she finished speaking, but Lu Lingxi realized a big problem. He hadn't told Wang Shuxiu about work yet. He secretly glanced at Wang Shuxiu's expression and sat down next to her obediently.
"Come, have a cake while it's hot."
Wang Shuxiu's cooking skills are good. The pancakes are golden in color, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and very delicious. Lu Lingxi took a bite absentmindedly, and while Wang Shuxiu seemed to be in a good mood, he whispered quickly: "Mom, I found a job."
"What?" Wang Shuxiu didn't hear what Lu Lingxi said at first. When she realized what was going on, she slammed her chopsticks and said, "What did you say, you little bastard?"
Lu Lingxi bit a pancake, blinked, looked at Wang Shuxiu seriously and said, "I found a job, so you won't have to work so hard in the future."
Wang Shuxiu's anger was completely extinguished by Lu Lingxi's words.
"Little bastard!" Wang Shuxiu cursed with a smile, "You only know how to say something nice."
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes, thinking that Wang Shuxiu's words meant that she agreed. Who knew that Wang Shuxiu picked up the chopsticks slowly and said directly, "Although I am very happy for your mother to say this, you still can't go to work, you have to go to school."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
The mother and son were in a stalemate when Yi Hang climbed over the fence and came in from the backyard.
"Old Third, when are you going to... Damn, Old Third, what did you plant yesterday? This grass is growing too fast!"
Yi Hang ran in from the balcony in surprise. He was unexpectedly dressed very simply today, and his face was clean, just like an ordinary student.
As soon as Yi Hang came in, Wang Shuxiu sneered. The little bastard had just been discharged from the hospital and didn't remember anything. Even if he wanted to find a job, it wouldn't be that easy. It must be the help of Yi Hang, the little bastard.
Yi Hang was completely unaware of the danger and approached Wang Shuxiu with a smile. "Hello, sister."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
Wang Shuxiu grabbed Yi Hang's ears and said, "Sister, you are such a jerk! What did I tell you yesterday? I told you to take Lu Lingxi out to get familiar with the roads and buy some books for the first year of high school. You actually took him to find a job? Are you thinking big?"
Yi Hang: “…”
"Sister, I was wrong!" he shouted quickly.
Lu Lingxi hurriedly went over to pull Wang Shuxiu away and explained anxiously, "It has nothing to do with Yi Hang. I insisted on looking for a job. I happened to find a suitable one, so I agreed. I even signed the contract and agreed to go to work today."
Wang Shuxiu let go of her hand in anger, and met Lu Lingxi's pleading eyes. She really had no idea what to do. Thinking back to before the little bastard got into trouble, although he was not obedient at that time, she could beat him and scold him whenever she wanted. But now, the little bastard's temper has changed, and when he looked at her eagerly, she couldn't bear to be cruel.
Lu Lingxi insisted, and Wang Shuxiu finally didn't say goodbye to him and could only agree to let him go to work for a few days to see how it goes.
Yi Hang bit his biscuit and winked at Lu Lingxi. Wang Shuxiu slapped him on the head and said, "It's all your fault."
Yi Hang: “…” He is really going to die unjustly.
