Chapter 15 Your Family
Chen Yang slept on the sofa, his breathing steady.
Liu Ran stood quietly by the bed, her gentle, bright eyes gazing at the sleeping Chen Yang, a faint smile on her lips.
She realized that Chen Yang truly had nowhere else to go.
If she hadn't taken him in, he would surely have been in a terrible state!
Liu Ran quietly moved closer, staring at Chen Yang's face. After gazing at him for a while, she hurriedly turned away and returned to the bedside.
On the bed, her mother Cao Meihua looked at her daughter and asked in a low voice, "Ranran, are you satisfied with your new husband?"
Liu Ran nodded, then quickly shook her head, blushing, denying her true feelings.
Liu Ran said flusteredly, "Mom, you know I didn't marry him out of love. It's just that Chen Yang is really too pathetic. When he was little, he was chased and jumped into the river. His parents seem to have died at the hands of bad people. Now, he's been abandoned by his cousin Liu Xin. If we don't take him in, he'll truly have nowhere to go."
Cao Meihua nodded and sighed, "Yes, he's a man of misfortune, and our family is the only one he can rely on. We must treat him well."
"Yes, I know. Mom, you should go to bed early. I'll take care of Dad," Liu Ran said softly.
Cao Meihua shook her head, "No, no, there are nurses here. Go to sleep."
Liu Ran lay down.
Her large eyes blinked in the dim light, then she closed them peacefully.
For the first time in years... she slept so at ease, so soundly!
Chen Yang, lying on the sofa, couldn't help but curl his lips.
...
The next day.
Chen Yang received a call from Liu Xin early in the morning.
Liu Ran told Chen Yang to go and sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible and to get the marriage certificate today.
Chen Yang naturally hoped to completely sever ties with Liu Xin sooner rather than later.
The divorce registration office was not far.
At a luxurious restaurant.
More than a dozen people sat in a private room.
These people included relatives from Liu Xin's mother Cai Yun's side, as well as several elders from the Liu family.
Cai Yun sat by the table with satisfaction, proudly cracking sunflower seeds, and said, "Heaven is merciful! Today, my daughter will finally escape from her sea of suffering!"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Mom, I've wronged you this past year, forcing you to live with that good-for-nothing Chen Yang."
Cai Yun nodded, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, my daughter, you held your ground and didn't let that good-for-nothing touch you all year."
Cai Yun's siblings around them were all somewhat envious.
"Oh, Liu Xin has truly escaped her hardship. Not only is she getting divorced, but she's also successfully found a perfect match."
"Indeed, Young Master Yang is absolutely from a prominent family. The Yang family has some standing in our Qingzhou City."
"Alas, Cai Yun is just lucky. She gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and that Young Master Yang likes her."
Cai Yun smiled, then said, "Mainly, my daughter held her ground, which allowed her to successfully kick that sycophant Chen Yang to the curb. Speaking of which, this time when he comes for the divorce, he must leave with nothing."
"Of course! That dog is a complete waste. As a live-in son-in-law, what benefits could he possibly want after a divorce?"
"Don't worry, he won't get anything! So many of us are here to support Liu Xin!"
A group of relatives chattered.
Liu Xin smiled proudly.
She pulled Yang Long's arm beside her and said, "Brother Long, from today onwards, my body and identity will belong only to you. Before, we had to sneak around and avoid that waste Chen Yang, but not anymore."
Yang Long smiled and nodded, pinching Liu Xin's nose.
At this moment.
Chen Yang was walking out of the hospital.
Liu Ran and Cao Meihua, worried, followed him.
Chen Yang saw his wife and mother-in-law following and was a little surprised, "Xiao Ran, Mom, are you coming too?"
Cao Meihua nodded and said, "Yes, we're coming too, so you don't get bullied."
Liu Ran also said, "Yes, you have a family now, you can't let them just kick you out like this."
Chen Yang let out a bitter smile.
Cao Meihua said, "Even if you get divorced and leave with nothing, you should at least get back your salary from this past year. Moreover, since Liu Xin was at fault, she should compensate you. Of course, we can waive the compensation, but they can't bully you."
Hearing this, Chen Yang felt a warmth spread through his heart.
He didn't care about any property; he didn't think much of Liu Xin's family's wealth.
But, at this moment, Chen Yang truly felt that he had integrated into Liu Ran's family.
They were his family!
The three of them went to Fangyuan Restaurant together.
This Fangyuan Restaurant, located opposite the marriage registration office, had good business.
Many newlyweds would have a banquet here when they got their marriage certificate.
As Chen Yang and the two women entered,
A middle-aged man, seeing Chen Yang, was stunned. Then, he immediately walked up respectfully.
The middle-aged man smiled at Chen Yang and said, "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence, are you here to dine as well?"
Chen Yang glanced at the middle-aged man. He looked familiar, like someone he had seen at the bank.
He simply nodded, without acknowledging him further.
Chen Yang and Liu Ran walked towards a private room upstairs.
Liu Ran curiously asked Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, do you know that person? That uncle looks quite distinguished."
Chen Yang shook his head, "He looks familiar, but I don't know him. Maybe I helped him out once when I was delivering food."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ran said, "That must be it. You're a kind-hearted person, you must help people often."
At this moment.
Hu Zhi stood behind Chen Yang.
Hearing Chen Yang and Liu Ran's conversation, his face flushed intensely, filled with embarrassment!
He was certainly not just a passerby Chen Yang had casually helped.
He was the head of Qingzhou Industrial and Commercial Bank!
To put it simply, in Qingzhou City, he was the big shot for loans and approvals.
Last time, Chen Yang's account was activated, and he withdrew five hundred thousand yuan from the bank.
It was Hu Zhi himself who personally hosted Chen Yang at that time.
Of course, five hundred thousand was a small amount. Let alone withdrawing five hundred thousand, even withdrawing five million or fifty million, Hu Zhi would not personally host a customer.
The reason he personally hosted Chen Yang was because there were one hundred billion yuan in Chen Yang's card!
And it was a current account!
Such a balance, such a major client, was simply a cash cow for the bank!
That's why Hu Zhi had personally come forward to politely host Chen Yang.
But he never expected that Chen Yang still wouldn't remember him.
"Sigh!" Hu Zhi gave a wry smile. "That's true. He doesn't even care about a hundred billion, just leaves it in his account to get moldy. How could such a person remember a small bank manager like me?"
Hu Zhi thought for a moment, then felt a sense of unwillingness.
He looked up and watched Chen Yang enter the private room.
He picked up his phone and made a call, "Secretary Yang, go and immediately order the most expensive watch and have it delivered to Fangyuan Restaurant."
At this moment.
Chen Yang, Liu Ran, and Cao Meihua entered the private room.
When Liu Xin saw the three of them arrive, her eyes narrowed immediately. She stood up and pointed directly at Liu Ran's nose, scolding, "You ugly monster who seduces your brother-in-law, you still have the nerve to come into this private room! Get out immediately!"
