Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 132.1

Chapter 132.1 : President Liang wants beauty over power.

The backyard of Liang's mansion.

Two hours after lunch every day, Li Yun Qin would water the flowers in the back garden and trim the potted plants she took care of herself. Although she was the madam of the Liang family, she rarely attended any charity parties or dinners held by the upper class.

In this circle, she is considered a noble lady who is refined and cultured.

Today, Li Yun Qin wore a royal blue dress. She takes good care of herself, and her facial features were originally 90% outstanding. Although she was a little older, she became more charming. Because it was noon and the temperature was relatively high, she did not wear a coat, just standing casually beside the potted plants, followed by two servants, standing respectfully not far away.

When Liang Xi Cheng came back, he happened to see such a scene.

In the Liang family, Liang Xi Cheng and Li Yun Qin are the closest mother and son. Of course, this is also because Liang Xi Cheng admires his mother's selfless nature.

"Xi Cheng, you are back?"

As soon as Li Yun Qin saw her son, she quickly put down the scissors in her hand and walked over quickly, "You haven't been home for several days, don't you miss me? Look at you, you have lost weight, have you been busy recently?"

"It's okay." Liang Xi Cheng grabbed Li Yun Qin's hand with his backhand and patted it gently, "Mother, just let the gardener do these, you can rest more if you have nothing to do, don't work too hard."

"This is the only fun I have left, don't worry about it, I'm fine." Li Yun Qin probably knew that her husband was looking for his son, so she reached out to help her son fix his tie, and then said, "Go see your father, I see he is looking for you, and he is looking for you very anxiously."

Liang Xi Cheng nodded and went in directly. The old housekeeper of the Liang family told him that the master was in the study upstairs.

Liang Xi Cheng knocked on the door of the study and soon heard his father's voice. He pushed the door open and saw Liang Qi Cheng standing at the window with his hands behind his back, his back to the door.

Although he was old, he was one of the founders of the Liang family. Liang Qi Cheng had a hot temper, but he was not a brainless person, otherwise he might not be able to support a business empire.

The father and son had not talked alone for a long time. Liang Qi Cheng knew that his son had returned, so he slowly turned around and pointed to the door, "Close the door."

"Father, what do you want to talk to me about?"

There is actually some estrangement between the two of them. Liang Xi Cheng does not agree with his father's business methods. He always thinks that he is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. But before, he also believed that he would roll around in this dirty circle all his life, and it didn't matter who was clean and who was not.

What's more, he is his biological father. He has his blood in his body and is the same person in his bones.

But because of his marriage with Yan Liang, the distance between the father and son has really widened.

"What have you gained after going to D City?"

Liang Qi Cheng pulled out a chair and sat on it. He also pointed to the stool in front of Liang Xi Cheng and asked him to sit down. "If all the contracts with Ye's are terminated, have you calculated what kind of blow our Liang's will face?"

Ye's and Liang's have always been closely related.

Now because of Bai Yan Liang, the two families have completely turned against each other. Ye Sheng Ming has been very active in the business world in recent years. He has always been rampant in business. Over the years, he has consolidated the position of Ye's.

In addition, Ye Sheng Ming is not the first generation founder of Ye's. His predecessors have planted trees for him, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the shade. Therefore, this time the big fight will indeed cause some losses to Ye's, but it will definitely not be as severe as the Liang's internal struggle that has lasted for several years.

"Father, I know very well what kind of predicament Liang is facing now, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

Liang Xi Cheng took a puff of cigarette and held it between his fingers. Amidst the swirling smoke, his handsome and heroic face seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze. "Although Ye's has cooperated with us on many projects over the years, you should know that Ye's is the one who makes the most money every time. In fact, there is nothing that our Liang's can't compare to Ye's. Why do we have to cooperate with them? All the benefits go to that Ye Sheng Ming. There is no need to sacrifice yourself like this, right?"

Liang Qi Cheng's eyes flashed, and he coughed lightly, "... I said, your uncle Ye helped me before. Although the business world is like a battlefield, it is indeed the profit-oriented thing, but people should not be too conscienceless."

"Father, I didn't expect you to have the idea of ​​'repaying a drop of water with a spring of water'."

Liang Xi Cheng was obviously very surprised. He squinted one eye, raised his hand and took a puff of cigarette, and puffed out the smoke gracefully. His tone was devoid of emotion. "Ah, I can't see that Ye Sheng Ming, the old fox who only cares about profit, would help you."

"How did you say that?!" Liang Qi Cheng's face became even uglier. "Can I still deceive you? Well, even if you don't like Ye Sheng Ming, what about Ye Qing? That girl is wholeheartedly devoted to you. What are you dissatisfied with? In this situation, if we Liang Group insist on going against Ye Group, we will be the only ones to suffer! We are now facing internal and external troubles ..."

"Can't you have a little confidence in me?" Liang Xi Cheng spoke calmly, and he didn't seem to plan to say anything more. He had already stood up from the stool. "The cooperation project with Ye Group was stopped halfway because of me, but Liang Group's cooperation partner is not only Ye Group. I said, just leave this matter to me."

He skillfully pinched out the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray. The wedding ring on his ring finger was particularly conspicuous. Liang Qi Cheng didn't have presbyopia yet, so he saw it clearly. His face changed drastically, and he stood up and pointed at his ring finger and asked, "... this ring ... what's wrong with this ring?"

He had no intention of hiding the fact that he and Yan Liang were married. Since Liang Qi Cheng saw it, he just went with the flow and told him.

"As you can see, Father." He raised his ring finger without hesitation, "I'm married."

Liang Qi Cheng was so angry that his face was distorted. He slammed the table heavily and shouted, "Asshole! You rebellious son! Do you know what you are saying and doing? You actually ... You actually secretly married a woman of unknown origin outside without telling our family? Do you take me seriously? Do you think you have grown wings now ..."

"Father, you don't need to be so agitated."

Liang Xi Cheng was not surprised that Liang Qi Cheng was so angry. He had already estimated the problems he would face after marrying Yan Liang without permission, and Liang Qi Cheng's problem was just a small hurdle, and even for him—it was not a problem.

"Yan Liang has never been a woman of unknown origin. I have told you many times, but you never take my words to heart." His voice also became low, and there was a bit of hostility between his eyebrows. "I have said before that I will not compromise on this matter. Now it is just a little late to tell you."

"You ... you ..." Liang Qi Cheng was so angry that he threw away all the documents and materials on the desk. "You ... you rebellious son, you actually ..."

"Master, what's wrong, Master?!"

The housekeeper probably heard the dispute inside and pushed the door in. The study was already a mess. The old housekeeper had been with Liang Qi Cheng for many years. Of course, he also understood his temper, but no matter how hot his temper was, he didn't seem to want to smash his own study. He immediately looked pale and hurried forward to support the shaky Liang Qi Cheng and comforted him, "... Master, what's wrong with you? Don't be angry, don't be angry, your health has not been very good over the years, don't ruin your body for other things."

He glanced at Liang Xi Cheng, relying on the fact that he had been in the Liang family for many years, and said, "Master, the young master is young and hot-tempered. If you have anything to say, just talk to him ..."

Liang Xi Cheng didn't want to stay for a second, frowned, turned around and left. Li Yun Qin was rushing to the corner of the stairs after hearing the news. When she saw Liang Xi Cheng, she grabbed him and asked, "Did you quarrel with your father again? Xi Cheng, what's going on? I heard the banging sound upstairs from downstairs ..." With a slight movement of her fingers, she also touched the extra ring on her son's ring finger, and her face was also full of shock. "Xi Cheng, you ... how ... how ..." Thinking of her husband's temper in the study, Li Yun Qin already knew that this ring was the evidence of her son's secret marriage with Bai Yan Liang.

She shook and her face turned pale in an instant, "... Xi Cheng, you didn't tell us, how could you ... do this in private? Have you considered your grandfather and your father's thoughts when you did this?"

"Mother, I have always considered their thoughts, so I brought Yan Liang to see you twice, but they didn't care about my thoughts."

Liang Xi Cheng thought that his mother was shocked only because he didn't tell her in advance, and he always thought that his mother was the only one who agreed with him and Yan Liang.

He pursed his lips slightly, thought about it and said, "Mother, since I did this, I have considered the consequences. You don't have to worry, I will explain it to Grandfather myself."

Who knew that Li Yun Qin was holding Liang Xi Cheng's hand tightly, and a coldness that had never been seen before flashed across her usually elegant and noble face. She shook her head and said firmly, "No! Xi Cheng, I don't agree with this matter. You can't marry Bai Yan Liang!"

Liang Xi Cheng frowned, "Mother, what did you say? Haven't you always liked Yan Liang?"

"I ..." Li Yun Qin realized that her emotions were a bit extreme. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she slowly said, "Since your grandfather and father are against this matter, even if I agree, it's useless. If you do this, look at how angry your father is? If your grandfather knows that you and Bai Yan Liang have registered for marriage in private, do you really want to anger your grandfather to death? "

"Since I did it, I have considered the consequences." Liang Xi Cheng didn't want to say more, and didn't doubt Li Yun Qin, just comforted her, "Mother, I will talk to Grandpa myself, you go take care of Father, I have other things to do, I'm leaving first."

"Xi Cheng ..."

"Madam, there is a call for you."

Li Yun Qin was about to say something, but the servant hurriedly took the phone she had left in the room. She took the caller number and immediately walked towards her room cautiously.

After closing the door, Li Yun Qin went up and closed the curtains, and then put the phone to her ear.

"Tell me, have you investigated everything I asked you to investigate?"

A male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a respectful tone, "Mrs. Liang, I have investigated everything according to your instructions. Just as you suspected before, Qin Mu Hua's husband is indeed Bai Qi. I have investigated Bai Qi. They got married 25 years ago. Bai Yan Liang is the only daughter of Bai Qi and Qin Mu Hua. Bai Qi died unexpectedly when she was 5 years old."

Li Yun Qin's usually dull cheeks trembled fiercely. No one noticed that she was standing alone in this empty bedroom, and her heart seemed to be pulled back to those past events ...

She had been waiting, waiting for him to see her glamorous and beautiful one day, waiting for him to regret abandoning her, but in the end, he had been dead for so many years.

Li Yun Qin's lips trembled, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, "... How, how did he die?"

"... Sorry, Madam Liang, we still haven't found out why he died until now."

Li Yun Qin squeezed her palms tightly and asked hoarsely, "Why ... why can't we find out? Didn't I give you all his information?"

"I tried to investigate, but it seems that all the information about Bai Qi that year was cleared out."

Bai Qi, Bai Qi ...

Li Yun Qin hung up the phone and fell on the edge of the bed in despair. She couldn't believe that the man was dead just like that, and he had been dead for so many years.

He got married 25 years ago. So, when he and she met for the last time, he already had a wife and daughter ...

Li Yun Qin smiled nervously. In the dark room, she raised her lips silently, but tears kept sliding down her cheeks ...

She always thought that he was still alive in this world. She had thought about the scene of them meeting again countless times ...

For so many years, she had really been imagining that one day, she would walk out in a low-key manner, stand in front of him, and tell him that she was the madam of the Liang family, she had a son named Liang Xi Cheng, and she had a husband named Liang Qi Cheng. And he, Bai Qi, abandoned her back then, what about now? What does he have now?

He really didn't have anything, because he hadn't been in this world for so many years.

And she, ridiculously thought that she had been scheming for so many years, in the end, it was just a dream.

***

When Yan Liang woke up, it was already afternoon.

Recently, because of her pregnancy, she became very sleepy. In addition, when she participated in the design competition before, Liang Xi Cheng had taken the initiative to ask for leave from the Human Resources Department for her, so during this period, she didn't even have to go to work.

She stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, half sitting in bed with some boredom, and turned her head to find a note on the bedside table.

—I'm going to the company first, remember to eat after you get up, and call me.

The vigorous and powerful pen words, the force penetrated the back of the paper, conveying the writer, made Yan Liang subconsciously think of Liang Xi Cheng sitting in the office before, holding a pen and flipping through materials.

Steady, calm, wise, and with an indescribable nobility and elegance.

Such a man is now her husband, Bai Yan Liang's husband.

She raised her hand, slowly spread her five fingers, tilted her neck to look through the sunlight jumping in from the French window, the light of diamonds flashed in front of her eyes, and the sunlight in the whole room seemed to be full of happiness.

She got out of bed, found her mobile phone in the drawer of the bedside table, and then called Liang Xi Cheng.

It rang for a few times before it was picked up. Liang Xi Cheng's low voice came to her ears through the phone, as if it had become sexier, "Already up?"

"En, where are you?" Yan Liang looked up and glanced at the time on the wall clock. It was already past 1pm. She couldn't help but tap her forehead with her hand. "I've been so sleepy lately. I never felt this way before."

Liang Xi Cheng chuckled. "Isn't this a specialty of yours as a pregnant woman? Have you eaten?"

"Didn't you tell me to call you as soon as I got up? So I called you first."

"I wrote the word 'eating' in front of the phone to let you eat first, en?"

Yan Liang raised her slender eyebrows and said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll go eat now, hang up—“

"Wait."

Yan Liang covered her lips with her hand, laughing like a child who stole sweets, and her tone was even more relaxed, "What? Didn't you tell me to go eat just now? Now you won't let me hang up."

"I haven't finished talking yet." Liang Xi Cheng's low voice was also doting, "After dinner, stay at home and don't run around, okay?"

"I'm not a child ..." She complained.

"Be obedient, I will go back early in the evening." He paused, and then said, "There are books you like to read in the study. If you have nothing to do, go and read them, okay?"

"I know! I know!" Yan Liang felt like a little daughter who was always cared about by her elders, but she didn't feel bored at all, and was more sweet and happy, "You are busy, I really have to go downstairs to eat, I'm so hungry."

Liang Xi Cheng didn't say anything more, just asked her to have a good rest at home, and hung up the phone.

Yan Liang turned over and got out of bed.

The sun outside was warm. She took her cell phone, put on her slippers, pushed open the sliding door, stood on the balcony, and called Qin Mu Hua again.

She couldn't hide such a big thing as marriage from her mother.

Qin Mu Hua was originally cold. When her daughter told her that she was married and told her about the situation at that time, she was a little surprised, but seemed to has no surprised.

"I didn't expect him to be a man of action. It seems that Xi Cheng is serious about you. Yan Liang, Mom has no objection. He protects you like this, I feel at ease. It's not easy to find a man who loves you. You should live well with him."

Yan Liang was moved and couldn't help crying. After getting pregnant, her emotions seemed to be particularly sensitive. She never shed tears easily before, but now she is always moved by some trivial things.

She chatted with Qin Mu Hua briefly, and said that she would go back to see her on Sunday, and then hung up the phone.

She placed her phone on the balcony, held the railing with both hands, tilted her neck and closed her eyes to feel the warmth of the sun. After a while, she opened her eyes and was about to go downstairs to eat. However, the moment she turned around, she felt a burning gaze not far away.

Yan Liang's heart trembled, and she turned her head subconsciously. There was a man standing on the balcony, only separated by a villa.

Chu Yi Sheng didn't know when he saw Yan Liang. He was only wearing a casual light blue striped home clothes, with his hands in his trouser pockets, staring straight at her standing here.

The distance was not far or close, Yan Liang could only see Chu Yi Sheng's outline, but not his facial expression.

She bit her lip subconsciously, thinking of the ambiguous and excessive behaviors he had done to her when she saw him last time, and he kept saying that Liang Xi Cheng must not give her any status. At this moment, she instinctively rubbed the wedding ring on her ring finger, lowered her eyes expressionlessly, and walked directly into the room.

She simply washed up and had no plans to go out, so she casually put on a set of home clothes without even wearing underwear inside.

When she was going downstairs, the servant happened to pass by the stairs. When she saw her, she immediately stepped forward respectfully, "Madam, what do you want to eat? I'll go make it for you right away."

Yan Liang opened her mouth and realized a little late that the people around Liang Xi Cheng were all smart.

In the past, they seemed to call her-Miss Bai.

Now they are calling her-Madam?

Liang Xi Cheng's Madam?

She had been wearing the ring for less than 36 hours, and these people already knew it?

"... Well, whatever is fine, I'm not very picky about food." She was a little embarrassed and stretched out her hand to stroke the loose hair on her earlobe, "Actually, you guys don't have to call me Ma—“

Before she finished speaking, a servant suddenly hurried in at the door, "Madam, someone is looking for you outside, and at the door now—“

Yan Liang's slender eyebrows twisted slightly, and when she looked up, she saw Chu Yi Sheng walking towards the entrance of the hall.

Her face changed immediately.

Chu Yi Sheng, what is he doing here?

This man is too arrogant. This is Liang Xi Cheng's villa anyway, how dare he just walk in like this?

There are still many servants standing aside in the living room. When they saw Chu Yi Sheng, a few smart people naturally recognized who he was.

Yan Liang walked over quickly, pulled Chu Yi Sheng's wrist, and lowered her voice, "Come out with me!"

"What are you doing here?" Yan Liang saw that there were not many people at the main entrance, took Chu Yi Sheng to the corridor, and asked angrily, "Do you know where this is? What are you doing here?"

"What's wrong with coming here?" Chu Yi Sheng raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, "It's just Liang Xi Cheng's home, can't I come in?"

"You—"

Yan Liang was so angry at his self-righteous look that she threw his hand away angrily, "What do you really want to do?"

Chu Yi Sheng looked at her with a heavy gaze, "What do you think I can do?"

He raised the corner of his lips, but the arc was a bit bitter, "What else can I do? I just can't accept it, so when you turn around and ignore me, I can't help but do such a thing. I asked you to face me, is it so difficult for you?"

Yan Liang's eyes flashed. After all, she was not a cold-blooded person. Chu Yi Sheng seemed to have something for her ... However, emotional matters can't be forced at all.

She already had someone in her heart, and there was no room for another one.

Besides, Chu Yi Sheng has impressive qualities. What kind of woman can he not have?

His current expression, as if the person he wants to love doesn't even look at him, makes Yan Liang feel a little uncomfortable.

She thought for a moment, and just when she was about to say something, Chu Yi Sheng suddenly spoke before her.

"Are you living with Liang Xi Cheng now?" His tone was not as disappointed as before, but was clearly a bit sarcastic, "... or, he keeps you here? Bai Yan Liang, is this the life you want? If you follow him, this is all he can give you."

Yan Liang couldn't help shake her head. The guilt she had felt towards him before was gone now. She said calmly, "Chu Yi Sheng, go away. No matter what happens between Liang Xi Cheng and me, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to waste your time on me."

Chu Yi Sheng was competitive, so how could he tolerate Yan Liang's cold and distant expression?

He immediately strode forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yan Liang's wrist. Just when he wanted to press Yan Liang against the tree trunk behind him, he didn't expect Yan Liang to put all her strength, stretched out her hand and pushed him away directly.

Probably because he never expected that she would suddenly push him away, Chu Yi Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Yan Liang protected her wrist, took two steps back, stared at him intently, with a hint of indescribable sharpness in her cold gaze—

"Don't touch me again. You should know where this is. If I shout, someone will come out to help me. You are the president of Far East. Do you like to do such things that belittle your status?"

Chu Yi Sheng's face sank and his expression was quite ugly. Yan Liang didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. After all, this was still Liang Xi Cheng's home. What was going on with her standing at the front door and talking so much to a man? If this kind of thing got to his ears later, it would be like someone slapping him in the face, right? She wouldn't want Liang Xi Cheng to suffer any grievances. But her wholehearted devotion to a man deeply hurt Chu Yi Sheng.

He never thought that he was worse than Liang Xi Cheng, but this woman didn't even want to look at him. He himself didn't know whether he was unwilling to accept it in addition to his interest in her ...

"I didn't do anything, and you say I'm degrading myself? It seems that I should prove this crime to justify your insults, right?"

Chu Yi Sheng stretched out his hand and tried to grab Yan Liang's wrist again. She had suffered several losses before. Yan Liang learned to be smart and dodged. Chu Yi Sheng grabbed nothing. His handsome face became even gloomier, but Yan Liang had already raised her hand higher than him. The diamond ring on her ring finger flashed a dazzling light, which made Chu Yi Sheng's movements all stiff.

A trace of disbelief flashed across his face.

Yan Liang said softly, "You said before that Liang Xi Cheng would never give me a status, but I want to tell you now that you are wrong. Xi Cheng gave me a status, and now he and I are husband and wife. I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, your Far East Group and my husband's Liang Group were originally mortal enemies in the business world. I can't stand here and talk so much with you now. What if someone with ulterior motives sees it, and thinks that I did something to let my husband down behind his back."

She raised her red lips and said without hesitation, "Although I didn't do anything, I love my husband very much. I don't want him to have any negative news because of me."

Chu Yi Sheng has never felt this way before—

The whole world is empty, and all the sounds in his ears seem to be dissipating, but the cold face in front of him is so clear. There is a happy and confident smile on her lips, but her happiness is not because of him. She said that she loves that man very much, but that man is not him either....

With a "bang", something must have fallen into the abyss. He heard that his heart seemed to be cut open by someone-the whole world is full of the strong smell of blood, but he is the only one who can smell it.

It turns out that it is not unwillingness, unwillingness, it's not just doesn't want to give up?

If you don't want to give up, isn't it because of-love?

Chu Yi Sheng laughed, extremely lonely. When he spoke, his voice was tense. His pride from childhood to adulthood did not allow him to show all his sadness now. He just said in a hoarse voice, "It seems that I underestimated Liang Xi Cheng. He can really do it."

Yan Liang pursed her lips and said nothing.

Chu Yi Sheng looked at her stubborn face, and the corner of his mouth twitched again, "Do you feel very happy? Bai Yan Liang, have you ever thought about how much pressure Liang Xi Cheng needs to bear for letting you marry him like this?"

Yan Liang's heart tightened, and she opened her mouth subconsciously, "What do you mean by this?"

"Hehe, what do I mean? Everyone in our circle knows how high the status of Liang and Ye are in City A. Of course, the two families have always maintained a cooperative relationship. Liang Qi Cheng and Ye Sheng Ming have been working closely together. Do you know why? Because Ye Qing, the only daughter of Ye, is the default Mrs. Liang. Do you think that if you interfere now, will Ye give up?"

Chu Yi Sheng chuckled, slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets, his tone was a little floating, and it was just like his rebelliousness, "Once Liang and Ye separate, they will definitely be hit hard. Have you thought about it? Liang Xi Cheng is probably in a state of panic now. But I really admire him, President Liang, who prefers beauty over the power and also confirms a saying-"

He glanced at Yan Liang with a somewhat ambiguous look, but the deepest part of his pupils was clearly bitter, "Since ancient times, the land of warm and tenderness has been the tombs of heroes."

"You-nonsense!"

Yan Liang frowned, interrupted Chu Yi Sheng's words in a panic, and shook her head, "Impossible! Don't try to deceive me. I have worked at EC for so many years, and I know EC's strength very well. Even if the cooperation project with Ye fails, Liang may be as serious as you said. Xi Cheng will definitely not ..."

"Will not go bankrupt?"

Chu Yi Sheng interrupted Yan Liang with a sneer, cruelly and ruthlessly cutting off her self-deception, "Bai Yan Liang, you work at EC, have you ever been to Liang's Group? Do you know how much money the cooperation projects between Liang and Ye cost in the past few years? Do you know how much loss Liang will suffer once these projects are stopped? Do you know what a business marriage is? It's a pity ... You don't know anything, so you definitely don't know how anxious your beloved husband, whom you keep saying, is now."

"I don't believe it!"

Yan Liang bit her lip, her eyes were firm, and she said word by word, "Chu Yi Sheng, I won't believe anything you say, go away, I don't want to see you."

"You will want to see me one day." Chu Yi Sheng just left this sentence and turned away.

Yan Liang stood there, but her whole body seemed to be stiff, maintaining the original posture, and didn't move for a long time-

Chu Yi Sheng's words were always in her ears, intermittently, she kept telling herself that those were not true, they must not be true, but ...

Why, another voice in my heart jumped out to tell me that it might be true?
