C930 A Typical Person Who Is Easily Shaken
The security guard respectfully opened the door and gestured for them to enter. However, since his work was done, it was obvious that he wouldn't follow them in.
Yang Chen was slightly surprised. It was because the guard shouted, "Old Marshal". Soldiers would definitely not casually call their ranks.
And you have to know, since the late 1980s, China no longer had the rank of Marshal, and the Defense Minister was only a general.
Who would have thought that Yang Gongming would be the only marshal left in the world looking at an old man without any strength left in his hands, who was also free and leisurely.
Just from this title alone, as long as Yang Gongming was present, no one in the army would be able to surpass him.
When the heavy doors opened, a great avenue of mottled granite led to the main hall.
The eaves were green and the pavilions were carved with flowers. There were many marks that showed that this old mansion was not shallow.
Different from ordinary residences, although there were quite a few maids shuttling through the area inside and outside the Yang Family, most of them were sturdy soldiers who were standing guard. They all emitted a cold aura, clearly having experienced the tempering of the cannon on the battlefield.
Seeing Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi enter, every sentry saluted with a straight face and in an orderly manner.
All the green plants had been trimmed by someone else. The meticulous aura they exuded made them feel a little nervous as soon as they stepped through the gate.
Of course, to Yang Chen, it was nothing special. It was just that Lin Ruoxi's small hand, which was clenched tightly, broke out in cold sweat once again.
Yang Chen brought the woman through the door and asked with a smile, "Why is CEO Lin so nervous? Do you want me to tell you a joke to adjust your mood?"
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips and rolled her eyes at him. She took a deep breath and tried to relax.
"This house is not bad, it should be worth a lot of money. Moreover, these servants are well-trained. These soldiers seem to have some injuries or retired from the battlefield, so they should be useful as support", Yang Chen chattered.
Even Lin Ruoxi wanted to pinch this guy's neck so that he wouldn't say anything more. At such an important moment, her heart was pounding non-stop. This guy was actually evaluating the price of a house!?
Just as he was about to reach the front door, a familiar graceful figure impatiently walked out from inside.
With an excited and joyous expression, Guo Xuehua ran forward and hugged Yang Chen.
"Son, you've finally returned home. I missed you so much!"
Guo Xuehua wiped her reddened eyes emotionally. She had already waited for this first step at home for more than twenty years.
"Not much time, what's there to be excited about?" Yang Chen reached out his hand and patted his mother's back awkwardly.
Guo Xuehua rolled her eyes at him. "How could you be so heartless? Look at how nervous Ruoxi is. Her little face is flushed red."
"Mom, I didn't …" Lin Ruoxi was too embarrassed to look at her mother-in-law.
Although they had been together for a few months, this was her first time visiting her in-laws.
"I was still wondering." Guo Xuehua walked forward and held Lin Ruoxi's hand, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is your home. You have seen a lot of big scenes with Yang Chen, do you still care about this?
The soldiers here are all retired veterans of Yang Family's main branch, and they have been loyal to the Yang Family for generations, just like their families.
When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she subconsciously looked back at those soldiers with solemn expressions. She still felt that it was strange, but at least it wasn't as oppressive as before.
"Let's go, your grandpa is waiting for you. He's finished drinking two pots of Da Hong Pao." Guo Xuehua said with a smile as she led the way into the room.
In the main hall with the high eaves, there were four thick, red wooden courtyard pillars that looked especially vigorous and vigorous.
On the flat stone floor, simple and honest pear wood furniture was arranged in an orderly manner. On the wall in front of them was a famous painting of ten thousand horses, which could be considered as the only decoration.
Yang Gongming was wearing a white shirt and black slacks as he tapped his knuckles on the table.
Behind Yang Gongming, Yan Sanniang, the amiable old lady who was still smiling, was also watching Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi enter the door with a regretful expression.
"Dad, these two children have finally arrived." Guo Xuehua walked up and said with a smile.
Yang Gongming nodded and didn't say anything. He just looked at Yang Chen with a profound gaze.
The tiredness on Yang Chen's face also disappeared, and he looked at the old man with a complicated expression.
The grandfather-grandson pair looked at each other, and the people beside them were unable to understand what they were seeing.
Lin Ruoxi felt like she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Although this old man had been to her house before, and had even said a lot of kind words to her, but now that she lost her advantage in "home ground", Lin Ruoxi felt pressured all over her body.
One had to know that this was a Chinese leader that could be seen on TV since young, a person who was on the level of the National Development Merit Point. The previous China's chairman had heard of it and seen it, but it was like a difference between heaven and earth.
A long time later.
Yang Gongming revealed a simple smile, "You guys came back …"
These words sounded like a question, but at the same time, it also sounded very certain.
However, Yang Chen lowered his head and chuckled, "It's us, not us coming back."
Yang Gongming raised his eyebrows, turned his head to Lili with a smile on his face, and asked gently, "Ruoxi, tell grandpa, are you coming back or are you coming back?"
This wasn't the first time Lin Ruoxi had been treated like a "granddaughter" by this old man, but she still couldn't help but blush.
She carefully glanced at Yang Chen and found that he was giving her a look.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment before she replied, "Yes, come back."
"Hey!" Yang Chen hugged Lin Ruoxi crazily and said depressingly, "How can you say that? You should be consistent with me. We are here for a stroll, not to move back!"
"What? Don't be so childish, just come back!" Lin Ruoxi pushed Yang Chen away, "Even I feel embarrassed. What's there to be embarrassed about? You're so aggressive towards an elder. Aren't you thick-skinned? Why are you thin-skinned now?"
Yang Chen's expression turned bitter. This woman had "betrayed" too quickly. She was a typical person who was easily shaken!
Yang Gongming, on the other hand, laughed and clapped his hands. He said happily, "It seems like you don't have a good life. You can't even control your own wife, and you came to this old man to take advantage of me."
On the side, Yan Sanniang and Guo Xuehua both pursed their lips and laughed.
Yang Chen's face turned red, only then did he realize that he was just a target of public criticism. Alright, I originally had no status at home, but now I have no status at all.
"daughter-in-law," Yang Gongming shouted.
Guo Xuehua came up to him and asked, "Dad, is this the start of the banquet?"
"Okay, let's go to the backyard today. Bring out a jar of old flower carvings. Although this brat doesn't know how to act, as an elder, I naturally won't lower myself to his level." Yang Gongming jokingly said.
Yang Chen touched his face and muttered a few words. However, he was grabbed by Lin Ruoxi by the waist and didn't dare to say anything else.
Although the old and the young had nothing good to say at the beginning, the atmosphere was surprisingly relaxed after getting along with each other.
Lin Ruoxi also felt it was strange, but she unconsciously relaxed and started to look around Yang Family's big house with a new feeling.
After all, it was a century-old residence, and many places retained precious ancient structures. There were also many precious antique works of art, making people feel like they were standing in a historical museum.
Arriving at the back garden, Yang Gongming often rested. The table under the open air had already been set up with a lot of fine food, most of which Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi liked to eat. There were even some glutinous rice balls that had the characteristics of Yanjing, which made Lin Ruoxi quite touched. It was obvious that Guo Xuehua had prepared these dishes long ago.
Lin Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Yang Pojun and Yang Lieh were not around. After all, Yang Chen had previously said that he would kill anyone who saw Yang Lieh again.
After the family took their seats, Yang Gongming asked Yan Sanniang to follow and sit down as well. Yan Sanniang politely declined a few times, but in the end, she was unable to refuse and respectfully took her seat as well.
Yang Chen felt that it was a bit strange. With his current cultivation level past the first stage of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulations, he could clearly see that Yan Sanniang's cultivation level was already very clear.
But, logically speaking, shouldn't such a master have entered the grandmist realm? And why did he lower himself to follow Yang Gongming as a servant?
