Chapter 135 I Love Yu Yan
Previously, Chairman Xiang had a very good impression of Gan Xiaoxing, but as Gan Xiaoxing repeatedly caused trouble, not only did she make her father suffer a heart attack, but she also implicated Xiang's Technology.
Countless times, Xiangshi Technology has been embroiled in scandals, all because of Gan Xiaoxing's actions.
Marrying a woman like this would be a disaster.
He was happy to see Xiang Jingheng and Gan Xiaoxing break off their friendship, but he never expected that his son would sleep with that woman right away!
Are they really that desperate for food?
Chairman Xiang was utterly disappointed in him!
"Old Xiang, what do you mean by this?"
Mrs. Gan was furious. "How is my Xiaoxing dirty? Who are you insulting? My Xiaoxing is still a virgin. She didn't look down on Jingheng for being a divorced man, and you're looking down on us?"
"What do you mean, a divorced man? Don't put it so harshly."
Mrs. Xiang began to protect her son, "You didn't tell me this yesterday. Didn't you beg me to say that Xiaoxing loves Jingheng to the core and that she has no one else to rely on but Jingheng? How can you turn your back on me so easily?"
"Besides, why did Jingheng get divorced? Back then, I wanted Jingheng to marry Xiaoxing so that our families could become even closer. But you guys were the ones who put on airs and said that Xiaoxing didn't want to have children, and that she had many suitors and had better plans. In the end, Jingheng married Yu Yan, and now your family is getting anxious."
"When you ordered our Jingheng around and treated him like a son-in-law to help your family clean up your messes, did you ever think about the fact that he was divorced?"
The two best friends suddenly started arguing, each trying to outdo the other with their sharp tongues, neither willing to give in.
That's enough.
Xiang Jingheng's head was buzzing. He had had enough of these people interfering in his marriage all these years. If it weren't for their meddling and making trouble, he and Yu Yan might not have made it this far.
He looked at Tai and said, "You're standing up for me now, but what were you thinking yesterday when you conspired with them to bring me soup, causing me to get food poisoning and fall into Gan Xiaoxing's trap?"
Mrs. Xiang: "..."
Her gaze darted away, and she couldn't say anything.
"Sometimes I really don't understand whether you love me or not."
Xiang Jingheng gave a bitter smile. "If I say I don't love you, when others bullied me when I was little, you would rush to protect me like a lioness; but if I say I love you, it seems like you can't stand to see me doing well."
"It was the same with Xiang Chu. Yu Yan only kicked Xiang Chu twice when he did something wrong or said something wrong, and you were furious and wanted to tear Yu Yan apart. But when Gan Xiaoxing hired bandits to throw Xiang Chu into the water and almost drowned him, you turned a blind eye and even seemed to not hold a grudge, and even helped Gan Xiaoxing to continue plotting against me, and even sent me to Gan Xiaoxing's bed to be humiliated by her."
"What kind of maternal love is this? I really can't understand it."
Mrs. Xiang was speechless when questioned by her son.
She belatedly realized that she seemed to have done a lot of excessive things, but at the time she didn't think that what she did was wrong.
"I'm doing this all for your own good..."
"No, you're not doing this for me, you're doing it for yourself."
Xiang Jingheng coldly interrupted Xiang Tai's "moral blackmail," then looked at Xiang Jinglan and said, "You were involved in this matter quite a bit, weren't you?"
Xiang Jinglan avoided his gaze.
What benefits did Gan Xiaoxing promise you?
Xiang Jingheng sneered: "Can I introduce you to some rich second-generation heir again? Or can I get you some haute couture gown so you can outshine everyone at the party? What benefits would make you sell your brother without hesitation?"
Xiang Jinglan's face turned deathly pale, and she shook her head repeatedly, "I didn't! Jingheng, I..."
Chairman Xiang's face turned ashen upon hearing this, and he slammed his hand on the coffee table.
"You guys designed Xiang Jingheng for Gan Xiaoxing? Why would you do that? Are you out of your minds?!"
As soon as Xiang Chu entered the house, she heard her grandfather's angry roar and froze at the door.
Mei Nan brought Xiang Chu back, and she stood behind Xiang Chu, having heard everything.
"Xiao Chu..." Just as Gan Tai was about to rush towards Chu, Xiang Jingheng said coldly, "Don't touch him."
Mei Nan reacted quickly, immediately picking Xiang Chu up and protecting him tightly, while looking at Gan Tai with a wary expression.
Xiang Tai stretched out her arms to Chu, "Little Chu, come here, let Grandma hug you..."
Mei Nan took a step back without making a sound. Xiang Jingheng stood up from the sofa and strode over to them, taking Xiang Chu from Mei Nan's arms.
He turned to look at Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Jinglan, "From today onwards, neither of you is allowed to see Xiao Chu without my permission. You are not allowed to interfere in his education, his diet, or his daily life. Similarly, my affairs are no longer your concern."
Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Jinglan's expressions changed simultaneously.
"And you."
Xiang Jingheng looked at Gan Tai with a cold and sharp gaze. "Gan Xiaoxing has come to this point because of your and Uncle Gan's indulgence. She doesn't value other people's lives, and others won't value her either. She attempted murder, and I was already being more than kind by saving her life. Do you really think I'm your long-term meal ticket?"
"Also, she slept with me, not the other way around. Her body is worthless, but my innocence is worth a fortune."
After saying that, Xiang Jingheng carried Xiang Chu away and said to Mei Nan, "Let's go."

As evening fell, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan arrived at Mesopotamia with Shao Yun.
Meisuli is a small mountain village. Most of the villagers live at the foot of the mountain, and there is only one family living halfway up the mountain. They live in the mountainside, which is the doctor Su that Grandpa Yu mentioned.
Shao Muyan parked the car at the gate of the yard, opened the trunk, and said to Shao Yun, "Yunyun, go knock on the door."
"Why."
Shao Yun responded and walked over to knock on the wooden door. The door opened quickly, and Old Yu looked down and was pleasantly surprised to see Shao Yun.
"Little Yunyun is here too."
"Grandpa," Shao Yun called out obediently. Grandpa Yu wanted to hug him, but Shao Yun didn't let him. Knowing that the old man's back was bad, he just snuggled into his arms and then greeted the old lady, "Grandma."
The old lady was picking vegetables in the yard when she smiled and said "Hey".
As soon as there was a commotion, both doors next door opened. It was the Shao family's bodyguards. As soon as they saw Shao Muyan and Yu Yan, their wary expressions immediately turned into joy, and they ran over to help carry their things.
Yu Yan hugged her grandparents, and the family happily went inside.
The ecological environment in Mesuli is very good. It has not been overdeveloped by humans, and the air is fresh. The old man and woman are both hardworking people. They grow flowers, plants and various fruits and vegetables in the yard. Knowing that their apprentice and granddaughter were coming, the old woman started preparing a few days ago. The free-range chickens are also fat. She called to the old man, "Go to the yard and slaughter the chickens."
"Me, slaughter a chicken?" The old man shook his head upon hearing this and dismissed Shao Muyan, "You go."
Shao Muyan glanced at the chicken staring at him with wide eyes. He had only ever dealt with dead chickens, never live ones.
But a man can't say no, so Shao Muyan rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll give it a try."
"..." Then I saw what "chaos ensued" meant.
Ten minutes later, Shao Muyan, covered in chicken feathers, still couldn't catch the chicken; instead, he ended up scattering chicken feathers all over the ground.
"Hahaha." Grandpa Yu squatted on the porch with Shao Yun in his arms, eating snacks and watching the commotion. "Look at your little uncle, he's just like me."
Shao Muyan's competitive spirit flared up, and he strode aggressively toward the chicken, refusing to believe it...
Ten minutes later, the rooster clucked and strolled leisurely in the yard, its eyes full of provocation.
Shao Muyan was panting heavily from exhaustion.
"Still haven't caught them?"
Yu Yan finished cleaning the bamboo shoots in the kitchen. Seeing Shao Muyan's defeated appearance, she found it amusing that the dignified Professor Shao had been defeated by a chicken.
"I'll help you."
Yu Yan rolled up her sleeves, exchanged a glance with Shao Muyan, and immediately devised a strategy. The two of them quickly moved in, flanking from both sides. The chicken soon walked right into the trap, pounced into Yu Yan's arms, and had its fate seized by the neck.
"Don't worry." Yu Yan patted the chicken's head, "I'll give you a quick death."
The sharp blade grazed his neck, leaving only a thin line of blood.
Grandpa Yu, Shao Muyan, and Shao Yun, three generations of the family, grinned at the same time: That's really ruthless.
They had a very hearty meal that evening. After dinner, the old lady and Yu Yan took Shao Yun out to pick up the cured meat they had ordered from Old Wang's house at the east end of the village.
Shao Muyan followed the old man into the study, brewed a cup of tea, and placed it beside his teacher.
Grandpa Yu tapped his finger lightly on the table. "Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Shao Muyan stood ramrod straight and spoke his mind frankly.
"Teacher, I love Yu Yan, and I want to be with her."
