Chapter 172

The next day, Ling Yuan returned home, thinking that Liang Zi Hao had previously said that he wanted to find a set of books on finance, which he happened to have at his home, so he fetched them and delivered them to him.

After delivering the books downstairs, Bai Yang just happened to walk in from outside and froze for a moment when she saw Ling Yuan.

“Auntie Bai.”

Ling Yuan shouted.

Bai Yang came back to her senses when she heard his call, “Ah, it’s Ling Yuan, are you here to see Zi Hao? Have you had lunch yet?”

“Uh, I’ve eaten, I still have some things to do, I’ll leave first, bye Auntie.”

“Wait.”

Bai Yang suddenly voiced out.

Ling Yuan stopped in his tracks.

Bai Yang thought for a moment and asked, “Ling Yuan, can we talk?”

Ling Yuan nodded, “Yes.”

“Let’s go sit in the courtyard.” Bai Yang pointed to the gazebo in the backyard.

Ling Yuan followed her into the gazebo and sat down calmly.

After Bai Yang sat down, she carefully sized up the teenager in front of her, to be honest, it was the first time she had observed him so closely after being here for so long.

The teenager did have proud capital, with an outstanding appearance, a high IQ that was superior to ordinary people, coupled with a superior family background, and a good family education that was evident in his demeanor.

No wonder ah, his own daughter before let her how to persuade, dead and refused to separate from this teenager, but also to draw a line with her. If she were to return to eighteen, return to her high school days, with such an excellent boy pursuing her, she would not be willing to push someone away, right?

“Ling Yuan ah, Auntie isn’t going to beat around the bush with you, you’re getting close to our family’s Little Fisherman, aren’t you?”

Bai Yang opened the door and rested her hands on the desktop.

While the other party was taking care of Ling Yuan, he was also sizing her up.

This face of the woman’s, Ling Yuan looked skillful as Ji Yu looked a bit similar to her.

Unlike Ji Yu, the woman in front of her wore exquisite makeup, perhaps she was well maintained, there were few wrinkles on her face, and her many years of pampered life had made her a little less timid and a little more subdued.

But Ling Yuan felt that the biggest difference between her and Ji Yu is that pair of eyes.

Perhaps it was the experience there, the woman’s eyes had a bit more worldliness.

In response to Bai Yang’s question, Ling Yuan did not deny it.

“Little Fisherman told me that you guys aren’t in a relationship. In fact, you all know in your hearts that you are by no means ordinary friends, right?”

“I don’t mean to oppose you guys when I ask this, it’s just that I had some misunderstandings with Little Fisherman some time ago, which led to some quarrels between us mother and daughter. Little Fisherman’s temper is a bit stubborn, plus I wasn’t by her side some years earlier, she misunderstood me deeply. It wasn’t easy for me to be in the Liang family all these years, as a woman in a second marriage, it was like a sandwich, there were some things I couldn’t favor her too much.”

“She told me the other day that she wouldn’t come back to the Liang family anymore and wouldn’t spend my money. I know she was speaking in a moment of anger, how can there be any overnight enmity between mother and daughter? Where can she go if she comes to Liang’s house? We can’t really let her go live in a rental house, it’s so chaotic outside, I don’t feel at ease, it’s just that she’s in a fit of anger right now, it’s not good for me to go and persuade her.”

“You’re close to Little Fish, can Auntie please? Take care of her a bit more when she’s at school? By the way, help me persuade her as well.”

“Auntie why don’t you ask Zihao? He’s more suitable than me.”

No wonder Ji Yu went to the boxing gym to vent herself that day, so, she had a conflict with her mom.

Ling Yuan slightly lowered his head, those half-lowered eyes all displeased.

Bai Yang said, ”I live with Zi Hao’s father, I’m worried that if Zi Hao talks to her, she’ll resent it even more. Xiao Yu, she’s still young and doesn’t like to talk, she only sulks in her heart and doesn’t talk to me about anything, I don’t even know what’s going on in her mind.”

Ling Yuan suddenly became a little angry.

No wonder, no wonder Ji Yu was so unhappy in the Liang family, she was obviously obedient and well-behaved, yet she was hurt by her mom’s words every time.

It wasn’t that Bai Yang didn’t know that Ji Yu was in an awkward situation in the Liang family, yet every time she needed her support, she was on the opposite side of Ji Yu.

Obviously the family environment is so stifling, but Bai Yang feels that she has given Ji Yu what he needs.

From the second day Ji Yu came to Phoenix City, he knew that Ms. Bai Yang was biased.

However, he didn’t expect her to be so partial.

What do you mean I don’t know what’s in her heart? She was simply not trying to know what was in Ji Yu’s heart with all her heart, right?

Indeed, if as an ordinary person, one did not worry about food or clothing, had a place to live, and attended a good school, then one did need to be grateful.

But–

She wasn’t a cat or a dog.

She was Ji Yu’s real mom!

The role of a mother is not just a shout out to be a mom.

Why do they say a mother’s love is great?

That is the need to give lots and lots of love to her child, to let the child feel the warmth of this world, to let the child grow up healthy both physically and mentally, rather than just giving some material conditions and then leaving her behind to fend for herself.

Chi Yu has always had a very clear perception of her own identity, as the daughter of Bai Yang’s ex-husband, Liang Zhongwen’s stepdaughter, she is very low-profile, has tried to reduce their own sense of presence, and do not dare to ask too much from Bai Yang, for fear of bringing trouble to Bai Yang, so even if Bai Yang misunderstandings her, she just put up with it, and try their best to play a good role as “stepdaughter”.

However, before she came to Fengcheng, or before Chi Zhao’s accident, she was also a highly favored little girl in her family, but after she came here, she encountered all kinds of biased treatment, and this huge discrepancy slowly accumulated in Chi Yu’s heart, so after Tang Guohua talked to Chi Yu, Chi Yu’s bad mood escalated to the critical level of outbreaks, and then returned to Liang’s house, and finally exploded out.

At this moment, Ling Yuan suddenly wanted to see Ji Yu, wanted to give her a hug, even if he didn’t say anything, he just wanted to hold his girl properly in his arms, give her comfort, give her warmth.

“Auntie, you said that you asked me to take care of Ji Yu, in fact, I will take care of her without you asking.”

“You said you don’t know what your daughter is thinking, perhaps, you can ask Liang Zixuan what she is thinking. Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

He felt that Ji Yu and Bai Yang were nothing alike.

Ling Yuan stood up, and before he left, he added, “Auntie, I’m not sure why you forced Ji Yu to cut ties with me before, or why you’ve suddenly changed your attitude now, and none of these answers are important. To me, the most important thing is that it’s good for Ji Yu to be happy every day.”

The young man is not very old, but due to the long term influence of Elder Ling and Ling Xiao, he carries his own stern aura, and now that his aura is suddenly fully open, even Bai Yang feels trembling when he looks at him.

“She can lack your love, but it doesn’t matter, because, I will give her lots and lots of love, and that love, is enough to make up for all the love she hasn’t felt.”

The teenager’s voice was calm and strong, like a promise, but like an unsheathed dagger that mercilessly stabbed Poplar.

Her face went white for a moment because of the teenager’s words.

And, because of his words, Bai Yang sat in the courtyard for the whole afternoon, and in the end it all turned into a sigh.
