Chapter 169: Untitled

“I just want to meet you!” Old Master Yang smiled as he said. He looked very friendly, different from the domineering and sharp old master during the banquet. Cheng Anya thought to herself secretly that there were good and bad points of looking like Lin Xiaoyue.

The bad thing was Old Master Ye and Third Young Master Ye hating each other to the core. The good thing was Old Master Yang having a friendly attitude. Given Miss Cheng’s unrestrained imagination, a campy image of Old Master Ye and Old Master Yang fighting over the beauty, Lin Xiaoyue, in the past immediately came up. In the end, due to Old Master Yang winning, the Ye family bore a grudge.

Old Master Yang did not marry for his whole life, while Old Master Ye had three wives. It was obvious whose love was more solid than gold.

But, why did Lin Xiaoyue leave?

What role did Third Young Master Ye play?

Cheng Anya realized that no matter how she thought, she could not understand. It was something that happened a few decades ago. Deducing from Old Master Ye, Old Master Yang, and Lin Xiaoyue’s age, there was no way Ye Chen was Lin Xiaoyue’s son.

Where did the hate come from?

“This is my honor!” Cheng Anya said faintly, although she had already expanded the love triangle between them. Cheng Anya’s smile did not change; it was still as attractive.

“Is Miss Cheng a local person?” Old Master Yang asked.

Cheng Anya smiled faintly. “I guess Old Master Yang had already investigated it. You should be clear about my background.”

Old Master Yang’s expression changed and looked at her deeply. He was a little shocked but was also honest. He nodded. “I have indeed investigated about it. I hope that Miss Cheng does not mind my recklessness. It is indeed because you look like an old friend of mine, so…”

Cheng Anya nodded in understanding. Third Young Master Ye had also once suspected but he did not investigate it. If not, he would have known about Ning Ning. His style of work was very different from Old Master Yang in terms of this. It was totally different.

Cheng Anya thought of Ye Chen’s miserable and resentful expressions after the banquet. It was as if he was a prisoner that was jailed and would never be released. Cheng Anya felt a little hurt as it was not difficult to think of what Old Master Ye had done to Ye Chen.

What did Old Master Yang do to Ye Chen to make Ye Chen hate him so much? Ye Chen even wanted to destroy Yao Hua at any price to seek revenge.

If Third Young Master Ye was not forced to a dead end, he would not have such a strong hatred. Moreover, there was a trace of unwillingness among this hatred and… anger. This was worth discussing!

“I don’t mind. Third Young Master Ye had once told me that I looked like Lin Xiaoyue!” Cheng Anya said in an innocent manner and smiled. She gazed deeply at Old Master Yang’s face and did not miss his short panic and misery.

Cheng Anya was shocked!

Misery?

This matter was getting more and more confusing.

“Is it? I did not expect him to tell you about this!” Old Master Yang’s hand trembled for a while and he took his hand off the table as if nothing had happened. He placed his hand on his lap and avoided making eye contact with Cheng Anya.””

“Third Young Master Ye happened to mention it after the banquet that day!”

“Did he mention me?” Old Master Yang asked deeply as he looked at Cheng Anya.

Cheng Anya smiled and shook her head. “No!”

Third Young Master Ye had never mentioned Old Master Yang. If not because of the Yun Enterprise’s matter, he would probably not mention Old Master Ye.

“Old Master Yang, I want to ask you something. Since you’ve investigated me, may I know if I am related to Lin Xiaoyue?” Cheng Anya asked solemnly. Since he had mentioned it, she wanted to clear things up as Ye Chen hated Lin Xiaoyue so much.

Cheng Anya did not want to have anything to do with Lin Xiaoyue.

Although she did not love what he loved and hated what he hated, Cheng Anya did not want to be related to someone he hated.

Old Master Yang shook his head slowly and a trace of a bitter smile showed from the corners of his lips. “I wished that you were related!”

“I’m sorry but I don’t wish to!” Cheng Anya said as she smiled. She was resolute and particularly firm. Facing Old Master Yang’s disappointment, she realized that she had the pleasant sensation of taking revenge.

Cheng Anya was secretly shocked that she would have such a thought.

“Old Master Yang, since you have already known about my relationship with Lin Xiaoyue and have confirmed it, can I leave?” Cheng Anya asked politely. She did not like Old Master Yang, probably because Ye Chen hated him!

“Wait, Miss Cheng. Stay a little longer!” Old Master Yang said with a panic voice. There was also a little ardent anticipation in his voice. It was as if he was reminiscing about his good old days!

After all, the woman that he loved left when she was around Cheng Anya’s age. Time had flown by very quickly and everyone got older. But Lin Xiaoyue’s youth was forever in his heart.

She looked young and pretty until her death.

Her most beautiful period.

Seeing Cheng Anya sitting opposite him, he had a self-deceiving comfort.

His heart could relax temporarily!

Cheng Anya was silent for a moment before she turned her head to look at the crowded street outside the window. She drank the orange juice quietly and nobody spoke for a long while. She looked at the street and Old Master Yang looked at her. The atmosphere was so quiet that there was no noise at all.

“Old Master Yang, can I ask what grudge do you have with Third Young Master Ye?” Cheng Anya turned her head and went straight to the point. She had wanted to know about this question.

This old man and Third Young Master Ye seemed to look alike in terms of their features.

Old Master Yang frowned. A trace of disparity flashed past his muddy eyes. “Grudge? …We don’t have any grudge.”

Cheng Anya smiled to hide the sneer in her eyes.

Old Master Yang looked at her and asked, “When are you getting married to Zekun?”

Cheng Anya almost spat out the orange juice that she was drinking. He had changed the topic too quickly. Why did he suddenly talk about her marriage with Yang Zekun? Yang Zekun had definitely not told him about her relationship with Third Young Master Ye. Regardless, he had investigated her and should know that she had a son.

“Old Master Yang, you have investigated me and should know that I had a child before I got married. I have a seven-year-old son!” Cheng Anya said without hiding anything. It would be a shameful thing for most women who had a child before they got married and they should not mention it, but to Cheng Anya, it was the luckiest thing in her life.

Since Old Master Yang knew that she had a son, so why would he agree to her marriage with Yang Zekun?

Weren’t families like theirs the most particular about the families being well-matched? Even if they were to marry a Cinderella, they would not accept one with a child because it was equivalent to slapping them on their noble blood lineage.

“I know you have a son. But, Zekun likes you and I don’t mind that you have a son!” Old Master Yang said faintly and his words sounded sincere.

Cheng Anya could not find any trace of hypocrisy on his face.

But…

“Old Master Yang, your words sound so hypocrite!” Cheng Anya said unceremoniously. “No senior would have such a great mind.”

Old Master Yang was startled, and then he smiled. “You are smart like Xiaoyue. Miss Cheng, the reason why I don’t mind you marrying Zekun is that I want to fulfill my dream when I was young. I want to make up for the regret in my whole life!”
