Yang Zhiyuan tightened his grip on the pen as he watched Yang Ru eat half a piece of cake bite by bite.

"I remember the last time I ate it was when my dad was around. I could have as much as I wanted before. Now it's not easy to eat it once!"

Cream cakes are expensive to begin with. When Director Yang was around, the family was not short of money.

Yang Ru lamented the past, but in her heart she hated Qin Manduo a little bit. If it weren't for her...

As she ate, Yang Ru felt dizzy and sleepy.

"Brother, I feel dizzy and want to sleep!"

Yang Ru held her head and saw Yang Zhiyuan walking towards her, her vision gradually becoming blurred.

"You, what did you do to me?"

Yang Zhiyuan walked up to her, bent down and supported her as she was about to fall.

"Go to sleep, forget about the past, live a good life, and don't bother me anymore!"

"No……"

Yang Ru couldn't resist the invasion of drugs and finally fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, she didn't know what time it was.

All I knew was that I was in a thatched hut, and my memory stopped at the last time I saw my cousin.

I opened the door and walked out to a small courtyard surrounded by a high mud wall.

Looking up and around, all you can see are mountains, one after another, endless!

A woman came out of the main house and was surprised to see Yang Ru wake up.

"Ms. Yang, are you awake? You must be hungry. I'll cook for you!"

"Where is this?"

Yang Ru turned around and looked at the woman who was speaking.

"This is the countryside. From now on, you will live here. We will take care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation!"

"Which country? Tell me the address. Also, I want to go to the city. I don't want to stay here!"

Yang Ru didn't understand why her cousin would resort to such a desperate measure. Didn't he say anything about what he had done?

So, he did it on purpose, and the cake was drugged?

"Miss Yang, you'd better not think about going out. There are nothing but mountains here. Mr. Yang sent you here specially and told you not to run away casually. He will come to see you from time to time!" the woman said in embarrassment.

Yang Zhiyuan would give her money every month as Yang Ru's food and accommodation expenses. She was a distant relative of the Yang family, and this place was far from the city, not close at all!

When Yang Ru heard this, she felt as if blood had rushed to her head.

She yelled almost insanely:

"Is Yang Zhiyuan crazy? I want to see him, but you asked him to come see me. Why are you holding me captive? Why?"

"Miss, you'd better stay here obediently. Mr. Yang said that he won't come to see you until you accept your fate. He said that he doesn't want to see you make the same mistake again and again, so he resorted to this desperate measure!"

"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak. Ask him to come see me. If that doesn't work, let him talk to me on the phone. He has no right to interfere with my personal freedom!"

Yang Ru had been planning for a long time, but ended up being tricked by Yang Zhiyuan. She didn't have the chance to take revenge on Qin Man.

At this time, a middle-aged man and a young man came back. They looked a little similar, so they should be father and son.

The woman saw her husband coming back, as if she had seen a savior:

"His father, think of a solution quickly, she insists on seeing Mr. Yang!"

The man glanced at her and saw that she looked unconvinced.

"Lock her up. Mr. Yang said, if she refuses to obey, then lock her up for a few days and starve her for a few days until she gives in!"

Yang Zhiyuan knew that if he didn't act ruthlessly, he would not be able to control him.

"Da Kui, go, take her to the room and lock her up!"

The man called out "son Da Kui". Da Kui was a little hesitant, but still went forward to pull her away.

Seeing this, Yang Ru quickly protected herself:

"What are you doing? Stay away from me or I'll make you pay!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Yang!"

Yang Ru was carried directly into the room. She struggled hard, but the strength difference between men and women was too great. She could not resist and could only watch the door being closed!...

After Jiang Cong met Yang Zhiyuan, it was already dark when he returned home.

Qin Man has also returned. Jiang's mother has prepared dinner and the whole family is waiting for him.

When the door handle was pushed open, Qin Man knew he was back. Without even looking at him, she said:

"What's going on? Where have you been? Why are you back now?"

"I'm meeting someone. I'll tell you after dinner!"

Qin Man then turned around and looked at him:

"Who is it?"

"Yang Zhiyuan!" Jiang Cong had no intention of avoiding this name in front of the children and Jiang's mother.

Qin Man's heart skipped a beat and she was a little surprised, but she didn't show it on her face.

Don't let your family members think it's a big deal!

"Let's eat first!"

Qin Man served Jiang Cong a bowl of soup.

Later, Jiang Cheng came to pick up the child, and Qin Man finally had time to talk to Jiang Cong about his meeting with Yang Zhiyuan.

After Jiang Cheng told her the content of the conversation, Qin Man was still a little unconvinced.

"Did he really promise you that he would take Yang Ru away?"

Jiang Cong nodded and said:

"Looking at him, he doesn't look like a liar. In fact, Yang Zhiyuan's character is quite decent. He looks much more mature than before!"

"Since even you are willing to believe him, I naturally have no other ideas!"

Qin Man shrugged.

"By the way, how's the trademark issue going?"

"I have already taken the information to the Industry and Commerce Bureau for registration. The information is being reviewed. Your trademark is not duplicated, so the registration is relatively smooth. I just have to wait for the acceptance letter to be issued in a month. It is expected that the result will be around March next year. It coincides with the end of the year, so the information review will be a little slower than usual. You need to wait patiently!"

Jiang Cong took the documents and found some time to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and submitted the documents.

"That's good. We are not in a hurry here. Anyway, it's almost the end of the year. This year will be over soon. March next year will be the beginning of spring. It's auspicious!"

She is not in a hurry now. There is no point in being anxious. Registering a trademark in the future will be even more troublesome. It may take almost two years to get authorization!

"But I'm still worried. Unless I'm really sure that Yang Ru is no longer in the city, you should take the trouble to pick her up every day!"

Qin Man hugged his neck and kissed him on the face.

"Don't tempt me like that, I'll have to beg for mercy again tonight!" Jiang Cong used the most serious tone to say the most inappropriate words.

Qin Man punched his chest with her little fist and said angrily:

"Jiang Cong, you have changed!"

"How have I changed?"

"You're becoming more and more indecent!" Qin Man looked at him with her arms folded.

Jiang Cong chuckled helplessly:

"But all the unknown sides of me are only revealed in front of you!"

Good man, now he is getting better and better at saying sweet words. The key is that when he says it, it doesn't sound greasy at all!
