Chapter 193 Hand in Hand
Chen Yang heard Cai Yun's words and saw her disdainful expression, and couldn't help but smile.
He didn't know where Cai Yun's sense of arrogance came from. She had always treated him with a condescending attitude.
Chen Yang couldn't be bothered with such a woman.
However, Liu Ran, sitting opposite Chen Yang, couldn't hold back. Her brows furrowed. The old Liu Ran would have been timid, but the current Liu Ran, with an astronomical fortune exceeding two hundred million in less than half a month, had a newfound confidence.
More importantly, she now realized that Chen Yang was a very qualified husband.
In such a dangerous situation just now, Chen Yang had saved her single-handedly with his car. How could such a husband be a good-for-nothing?
So what if he couldn't make money?
Liu Ran turned her head and couldn't help but speak to Cai Yun, "Second Mother, just eat your meal. Whether Chen Yang is a good-for-nothing has nothing to do with your family anymore. And in my opinion, Chen Yang is excellent. It's your loss for not cherishing him."
Chen Yang, sitting opposite, was stunned by Liu Ran's words. He had never expected Liu Ran to dare to defend him so openly. It seemed his place in Liu Ran's heart was becoming increasingly important.
Cai Yun "puffed" and stood up. With a cold face, she looked down at Liu Ran. She hadn't expected Liu Ran to dare to disobey her and openly refute her.
Cai Yun pointed at Liu Ran and said with a sneer, "You ugly monster, your wings have really grown strong! Do you really think you have the confidence just because your face has recovered?"
"Let me tell you, marrying a good-for-nothing like Chen Yang has destined your family to be unsuccessful forever. And you're lecturing me here, heh, let's see how you'll manage in the rest of your life."
Liu Ran frowned. She had indeed been timid and weak before, and was reluctant to conflict with the Liu family. But at this moment, she truly couldn't hold back.
Chen Yang immediately reached out and held Liu Ran's small hand. Chen Yang didn't really care about the malice from Cai Yun, after all, he had endured it for over a year. He had long seen through this snobbish mother-in-law and never took her to heart.
But seeing Liu Ran defending him so fiercely now truly made Chen Yang very happy.
Chen Yang held Liu Ran's small hand and smiled, "Alright, wife, don't bother with them. Don't spoil our mood for eating. We have things to do after dinner!"
Liu Ran nodded, then signaled the waiter. Two simple fast food meals were served.
At the adjacent table, Liu Xin also pulled Cai Yun to sit down. Liu Xin smiled, "Mom, why bother with them? Look, they only dare to order two of the simplest single fast food meals even to eat here. What's the point of talking to such people?"
"Unlike us, we'll soon be residents of Garden District. Not just anyone can afford such high-end villas in Garden District. It can be said that from now on, we'll be in two different worlds."
"They live in the urban village, while we live in the most high-end villa area in the entire Qingzhou City. That's the difference."
"After I marry Brother Long, our family's status will inevitably rise, after all, Brother Long is a young master from the Yang family!"
Cai Yun laughed upon hearing this. She nodded at Yang Long and said, "Yang Long, Mom hasn't misjudged you. You are indeed the best husband for our Liu Xin and the best son-in-law for your father-in-law and me. Come, come, let's eat."
"Oh my! It really feels like a dream! In the blink of an eye, we can also live in such a high-end community."
Liu Xin's family of four ate heartily and smugly at the next table. They had arrived early and after eating, all four held their heads high.
Especially Liu Xin, who raised her chest and looked at Chen Yang and Liu Ran with disdain before striding out towards the sales office of Garden District.
Chen Yang and Liu Ran finished their fast food. Liu Ran said dejectedly, "Chen Yang, your past life was truly difficult. Even now, after you and Liu Xin are divorced, they still look down on you so much. It's so infuriating."
Chen Yang, hearing the concern in his wife's words, couldn't stop smiling.
Liu Ran glared at Chen Yang, "Laugh, laugh, all you do is laugh. It's only because you have such a good temper that Second Mother and her family bully you like this. Looking at them makes me angry. Let's go, we'll buy a house too. We must buy one that's bigger and better than theirs."
Chen Yang nodded vigorously, then they quickly finished their meal and walked hand in hand towards the sales office.
There was a contact number on the advertisement, so Liu Ran had already contacted the manager while eating. The sales office manager said he would be waiting for them in his office.
So after eating, Liu Ran and Chen Yang headed straight for the sales office. Chen Yang thought about what had just happened and felt a surge of pride. He realized his importance in Liu Ran's heart was growing.
If that was the case, could he now be considered Liu Ran's legitimate husband?
Thinking of this, Chen Yang reached out and held Liu Ran's small hand.
Liu Ran was startled, and instinctively tried to pull away. But Chen Yang held on tightly. Liu Ran struggled a few times but couldn't break free.
Holding Chen Yang's hand, Liu Ran's ears and neck flushed. Her heart pounded. She quickly lowered her head and whispered to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, what are you doing? It's broad daylight, can you let go of my hand first!"
Chen Yang said righteously and resolutely, "Of course I can't let go of you. You're my wife. Is holding your wife's hand in broad daylight against the law?"
Liu Ran pouted dejectedly at his words, but she couldn't do anything about Chen Yang, so she could only let him hold her hand.
The two walked into the sales office hand in hand.
Just as they were about to walk in, a cold snort came from the left. Chen Yang and Liu Ran turned their heads and saw Cai Yun looking at them with disgust, raising her hand and pointing at them.
Chen Yang frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Cai Yun had already rushed over. She angrily yelled at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, what on earth are you doing, you good-for-nothing? You followed us to the restaurant, and now you're tracking us to the sales office. What's your purpose?"
"Let me tell you, you and my daughter are already divorced. Even if our family has money, even if we buy a villa in Garden District, it has nothing to do with you."
"Stop dreaming, you're done. You've left our family. Trying to play tricks is useless."
Chen Yang's brow furrowed at her words. He let out a cold laugh and looked at Cai Yun, "I say, auntie, you're overthinking. Who has nothing better to do than to follow you! We're here to buy a house too."
Cai Yun was stunned by his words, then she "pfft" and burst into a "hahaha" of laughter. This time, even Liu Xin, Yang Long, and Liu Daqiang behind her started laughing.
Liu Xin looked at Chen Yang, laughing uncontrollably. She said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you, a delivery person, also want to buy a villa in Garden District? Do you know the price of this complex? Hahahaha, you've really made me laugh."
