Chapter 87 Leaving
Cheng Fei's desire to watch the show was so strong that it was almost beyond words, but when he saw Zhou Yang's expression, he was confused again.
He thought Zhou Yang was calm, generous, and didn't care at all, but when he looked closely, he saw that her beautiful and delicate face was completely expressionless.
Cheng Fei is a careful person, even better than Lin Qiyuan at observing people's facial expressions, which also laid the foundation for his sociability.
He was not very familiar with Zhou Yang, and he heard much more information about Zhou Yang from Lin Qiyuan than he had ever known about Zhou Yang himself.
Even so, he could see that Zhou Yang was a somewhat proud and lively person at heart, and he was magnanimous as long as it didn't touch upon matters of principle.
Unlike Lin Qiyuan, Zhou Yang always had a gentle demeanor in front of outsiders and was exceptionally easy to get along with, seemingly able to be friends with anyone. However, Cheng Fei knew that this kind of person would only truly accept you as their friend if you truly believed in them. Otherwise, it would only be superficial courtesy, a casual acquaintance.
Therefore, Cheng Fei was always happy to see his friend and Zhou Yang together. Both of them were highly intelligent and had a paranoid or stubborn side in relationships. It was not easy to commit to someone, and it was equally difficult to leave someone.
Therefore, two people should be entangled with each other until the end of the world. No matter how big the problem is, as long as it is not betrayal, they should not be separated.
But at this moment, Cheng Fei felt that he might be wrong.
Zhou Yang only murmured, "Hmm," but this "Hmm" made Cheng Fei feel uneasy. This was because these brief words were devoid of any emotion. These simple words made the speaker feel as if they were also lost in a void, just like the unfathomable feelings between them.
He felt that Zhou Yang would not be so angry about this matter, but he was not sure, maybe.
He instinctively felt that he was in trouble and looked anxiously at Lin Qiyuan on the stage. Lin Qiyuan looked relaxed and was looking at the audience below.
Zhou Yang next to him stared straight at Lin Qiyuan on the stage, without even a glance at himself. This was just right. Cheng Fei waved his arm to attract Lin Qiyuan's attention so that he could see Zhou Yang next to him and then respond accordingly.
Two seconds later, Lin Qiyuan's gaze moved over, and when it passed over Zhou Yang, he paused noticeably, then let go as if nothing had happened, his index finger unconsciously rubbing the seam of his pants.
Cheng Fei, who knew Lin Qiyuan very well, suddenly realized: he was panicking.
Lin Qiyuan did not show any panic. After the host thanked him again, he began his speech.
"My name is Lin Qiyuan. To outsiders, this name signifies a glorious and brilliant existence. However, few people know that I once suffered from social phobia. Over the years, I have relied on my own will and..."
Damn, you’re really good at making up stories.
Cheng Fei glanced at Zhou Yang and found that Zhou Yang still looked focused and absent-minded. He didn't know whether he had heard it or believed it.
However, Cheng Fei felt that Zhou Yang’s inner OS must be: make up, and continue making up.
The speech was generally very exciting. Although everyone didn't know why Lin Qiyuan frequently mentioned that he had suffered from social phobia, the public's imagination was very open.
As we all know, Lin Qi's original surname was Lin, and he was the only son of the wealthy Lin family in S City. It was horrifying that such a gifted child had suffered from social phobia for a long time, and one could only sigh that the wealthy family was full of deep waters.
Although the speech was not broadcast live, there were many people in the audience holding their mobile phones to record the entire process. Before Lin Qiyuan finished speaking, the video uploaded online was already all over the place.
Dad Lin only found out about this after he received a call from Grandma Lin and was scolded for no apparent reason.
The couple opened their tablet and quickly found the video of Lin Qiyuan's speech uploaded by netizens.
The couple's faces darkened as they watched. Mother Lin took a deep breath and tried hard not to get angry: "Dad, is this our son talking to you?"
Father Lin nodded sadly: "Maybe."
"When did he ever suffer from social phobia? He can talk freely in front of those old foxes and almost cheat others to sell his pants. He is called a social phobic?" Mother Lin rolled up her sleeves.
"He says ten things back to me when I say one, and he scolds his company employees every other day. You call him a social phobic?" Lin's father found it hard to understand.
"People on the internet are making up stories about us, saying that I cheated on you and that that troublemaker Lin Qiyuan isn't your biological son, so you left him alone and that's why he developed social anxiety." Mother Lin's eyes were full of stars.
"Some netizens also said that I cheated on you. Lin Qiyuan is the child of my mistress whom I brought back from outside. You were so jealous that you suppressed him every day, which led to his social anxiety." Lin's father felt aggrieved.
"There's also talk of Lin Qiyuan being the adopted child of our enemy. They feed and clothe him, but never care about him. They constantly indoctrinate him with ideas about who his enemies are, with the goal of turning him against his biological parents. Hey, why does this plot sound so familiar? Peerless Twins?"
"Some say we killed Lin Qiyuan's parents, and out of guilt, we kept him with us, just like feeding a dog. Lin Qiyuan later became the CEO of Dragon City on his own. This plot seems familiar, isn't it? Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"
Mother Lin's hands were shaking with anger: "This son must be crippled. In this family, either I or him, or he or I!"
Father Lin quickly helped Mother Lin sit down and soothed her, "Don't worry, it has to be either you or him. Also, let's call off the marriage with Young Master Zhou. A fool is not worthy of Young Master Zhou!"
A few days ago, Lin's mother used various means and finally found out that her son and Zhou Yang had been dating for two months. Their relationship was very stable and it was very suitable for them to meet their parents. As a reasonable, generous and open-minded mother-in-law, Lin's mother decided to add fuel to the fire and asked someone to greet Zhou Yang's father, Mr. Zhou Hai, and said that there was an idea of marriage.
Of course, Lin's mother still remembered that Zhou Hai had handed over his name card before. In order to avoid embarrassment for both parties, Lin's mother thought of using the excuse of marriage to have the two parties meet, and it would be best if they could discuss the wedding date and so on.
Lin's father was quite dissatisfied with this, but he could do nothing about it.
Mother Lin suddenly pulled back the hand that Father Lin was holding, glared at him, and asked warily, "Are you trying to smuggle something in? Even if Lin Qiyuan isn't from the Lin family, everything has to be from our family, understand?"
Dad Lin nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand!" At the same time, he shed a tear of sympathy for himself in his heart: Once Zhou Yang came in, would he still have any status in Mom Lin's heart?

Cheng Fei didn't notice when Zhou Yang left the auditorium at all.
Thinking about it carefully, from the moment he saw Lin Qiyuan, his expression and even his movements hardly changed. He was worried about Zhou Yang's condition, but he didn't know what to do.
While the girl next to him was asking questions, he turned around and found that the seat on the other side was empty.
He ran out in a hurry to look for him, and saw Lin Qiyuan running out with a dark face, holding the cell phone to his ear.
"Didn't the call go through?" Cheng Fei asked.
Lin Qiyuan knew he shouldn't vent his anger on others, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you stop him?"
Cheng Fei had been on edge for an hour and was now furious: "I can stop the person, but I can't stop his heart! How dare you criticize me? Your lame story is full of holes. Do you think Zhou Yang is a fool?"
