Chapter 593: Chen Mengyanâs Decision
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
âHi, Uncle Cai, I am Mengyanâs boyfriend, and my parents went to Uncle Chenâs house for the Chinese New YearâŠâ Yang Ming said quickly.
â Oh ? This young man is good. You look really talented. Especially just now, you were not afraid during danger and was not coerced by those evil forces. Youâre not simple!â Policeman Cai praised him.
âUncle Cai, youâre giving me too much credit.â Yang Ming smiled.
âOkay, then I wonât bother you guys!â Police officer Cai said to Chen Mengyan, âGreet your father for me!â
Because of this event, the sweet feelings of the two people had become worse. When they returned home, Mother Chen couldnât help but ask why they were so late. Chen Mengyan didnât want to say too much. She just explained that there was a traffic jam on the road.
The meals at home were all homemade, but the patterns were quite numerous and delicious. In Chen Mengyanâs family usually, they went to her grandmotherâs house for the Chinese New Year. But this year the situation was different. They naturally couldnât go.
But even when she went to her grandmotherâs house for the Chinese New Year, she would be eating out. They wouldnât be cooking at home. Itâs been many years that she hadnât enjoyed the warmth of eating at home. Chen Mengyan felt very warm.
Although Yang Mingâs family cooked at home every year, the meal wasnât so lavish. Three people couldnât eat too many dishes as well. Even though today was the first time that the two families had cooperated for the Chinese New Year, it seemed that the effect was still very good.
The two families sat together and made toasts with the wine gla.s.ses in their hands. This also indicated that the things between Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming were settled.
Chen Fei and Mother Chen were both respectable people, especially Mother Chen. She worked in state-owned enterprises and she was an executive. Therefore, she had many experiences on social occasions. Although Yang Dahai and Mother Yang were restrained at first, the atmosphere was quickly lifted. They drank and chatted with each other.
âSister-in-law, I heard that you are laid off⊠Of course, I have no other meaning.â Mother Chen said, âWhy donât you come to our company? Our benefits are good. Although I canât guarantee to be able to arrange for you a small managerâs position, I can still arrange for you as regular staff.â
â Oh ?â Yang Dahai immediately became interested. In the eyes of his generation, a steady job was the most important. Other things were not better than this. When he heard Mother Chen had such power, he said quickly, âSister-in-law, thatâs a good thing. If she can get into your business, thatâs great!â
âBrother Yang, you canât decide on that. Sister-in-law must agree with it!â Mother Chen said with a smile, âI heard Mengyan say that Yang Ming is now opening a company with a friend. Sister-in-law may want to enjoy a blessed life at homeâŠâ
âLook at what you said, enjoy what blessed life? Hasnât the company not started yet?â When Mother Yang heard that Mother Chen praised her son, she was very happy.
âIsnât that almost the same? I canât do it instead. I still have to work for a few years!â Mother Chen said.
âSister-in-law, your words are wrong. Doesnât Big Ming belong to Mengyan? Then doesnât that belong to you, too?â Yang Dahai said quickly.
â Hehe , youâre right!â Mother Chen nodded and smiled.
âMom, what are you guys talking aboutâŠâ Chen Mengyan was a little embarra.s.sed.
âWeâre talking about you and Yang Mingâs things. Both of you arenât young anymore. Is there anything to be shy about? Hugging on the sofa isnât shy then?â Mother Chen teased.
â Aiya ⊠MomâŠâ Chen Mengyan lowered her head. She blushed and her face was comparable to the big crab sh.e.l.l on the table.
This meal could have been said to have lasted from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. What the two families wanted was the cheerful atmosphere at this dining table. The intention was not about eating. Later, it completely became chatting together.
Of course, Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were already full and they werenât willing to be the topic of the adultsâ talk. Therefore, the little couple went directly to Chen Mengyanâs room.
Yang Ming locked the door. Chen Mengyan frowned, âWhat are you planning to do? If you lock the door, my parents, uncle, and auntie will misunderstand! Open it now!â
âItâs okay,â Yang Ming said with a smile. âTheyâre busy chatting now. They donât have time for us! Besides, they would definitely knock on the door to find us.â
As Yang Ming said this, he was lying on Chen Mengyanâs small bed.
âGet up. Youâre dirty. Take off your clothes!â Chen Mengyan said angrily. âI had changed the bedsheet this morning!â
âTake off my clothes? Ha , Iâll take them off then.â As Yang Ming said this, he got into position to take off his pants.
âYou⊠really p.i.s.s me off!â Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. âCanât you be serious? Do you want to leave a bad impression with my parents?â
âJust kidding.â Yang Ming put away his smile and said, âDonât worry. I wonât do anything excessive.â
âThen itâs fine.â Chen Mengyan nodded and sat at the bedside. âRight, Yang Ming, how is Zhou Jiajiaâs injury?â
In Chen Mengyanâs heart, she had always been sympathetic to the girl, Zhou Jiajia! Yes, we both love Yang Ming, too, but the treatment I got was totally different from hers!
I paid for it, and I got the reward I deserved. But what about Zhou Jiajia? Chen Mengyan knew that this girlâs love for Yang Ming wasnât less than hers. Besides, Zhou Jiajia had expended more effort than herself. For Yang Ming, Zhou Jiajia could even sacrifice her life!
But what did she get? An icy bullet and lonely bed! In this national celebration day, she was lying in bed, and sheâs still not awake yet⊠Every time Chen Mengyan thought about it, she had an unprecedented feeling of being touched!
Indeed, women were selfish animals, but in the same way, women were also the most compa.s.sionate. Chen Mengyanâs heart now had only sympathy for Zhou Jiajia. She was not jealous of Zhou Jiajia at all.
Yes, sometimes Chen Mengyan even thought that if possible, Yang Ming could give Zhou Jiajia a little love. She wouldnât mind that.
For Lan Ling, Chen Mengyan was carefully guarding against her. Although she had to accept this fact, she still wanted to occupy Yang Ming more in her heart. But it was a very different view for Zhou Jiajia.
On the second day of Zhou Jiajiaâs hospitalization, Chen Fei took Chen Mengyan to the hospital to visit Zhou Jiajia. Looking at the girl on the bed who was originally beautiful with a beauty not less than hers and now had become thin and pale, Chen Mengyan secretly teared up.
She cried for a girl who also loved Yang Ming. Zhou Jiajia was really pitiful!
Yang Ming, no matter how busy he was, would take time to visit Zhou Jiajiaâs ward every day. He held her hand and talked to her for a while. It was because the doctor also said that although Zhou Jiajiaâs injury was now in recovery, whether she can be awakened, wasnât something within the scope of medical knowledge anymore!
Only people who were familiar with Zhou Jiajia often talked to her, hoping that she might wake up faster. Therefore, since the doctor said so, Yang Ming insisted on doing it every day regardless of whether it was working or not. Now, he could only do so much.
âItâs still the sameâŠâ Yang Ming sighed.
âDonât blame yourself⊠no one wanted this to happenâŠâ Chen Mengyan quickly comforted him when she saw that Yang Mingâs mood became depressed in an instant.
âYeah⊠no one wanted to⊠donât know when she can wake upâŠâ Yang Ming shook his head. âBut when she wakes up, the trouble will come againâŠâ
âWhatâs wrong? Why is there trouble when she wakes up?â Chen Mengyan asked curiously.
Yang Ming didnât intend to hide it from Chen Mengyan, so he told everything that happened on his way taking Zhou Jiajia to the hospital. The words that he had said to Zhou Jiajia were repeated for Chen Mengyan. This was a promise to Zhou Jiajia.
âI⊠understandâŠâ After Chen Mengyan listened, she took a sigh of relief. She said after a while, âAt that time, your promise was the only hope for Zhou Jiajia to live⊠so I understand⊠â
âYou donât blame me for saying that?â Yang Ming smiled bitterly.
âI donât blame you⊠even if I am by your side, I wonât be angry after listening to it⊠because you were doing the right thing.â Chen Mengyan nodded very resolutely.
â Ai !â Yang Ming said helplessly. âI hope that Zhou Jiajia will recover soon, but I donât know how to face her after she wakes up⊠This promise⊠is too heavy⊠Itâs pressuring me so much that I canât breathe.â
ââŠâ Chen Mengyan was silent, Yes, after Zhou Jiajia wakes up, what should I do? Should Yang Ming keep his promise? OrâŠ
Chen Mengyan subconsciously didnât want Yang Ming to fulfill that promise. But Chen Mengyan thought about how she wouldnât be able to bear seeing Zhou Jiajiaâs disappointment when Yang Ming told the truth after Zhou Jiajia woke up.
Is this a bit too cruel? After experiencing a life and death situation, it isnât easy for her to get a promise, but itâs fake⊠What should be done? Chen Mengyan couldnât help but think about it. If I was Zhou Jiajia, what would I do after hearing about this situation?
Lose my meaning to life? Suicide? A horrible thought appeared in Chen Mengyanâs mind and made her s.h.i.+ver.
âThe things about the future. Letâs talk about it laterâŠâ
