Chapter 2 The Abyss
Lin Yang was unprepared. As soon as he took the next step, he was pulled back before he had a firm footing and sprained his foot.

There was a stinging pain, so painful that she took a breath.

She already had an old injury on her ankle.

If her arms were still being pulled and supported, she would have fallen.

Chu Yanhuai also saw that something was wrong with her.
"you…"

Before the other party could say anything, Lin Yang interrupted directly.

She waved her hand away from him.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can leave by myself, no need to send him away."

Every step I took now felt like needles were pricking me.

He endured the pain and ran away.

He was afraid that if he delayed for a second longer, the people inside would come out and catch him.

Chu Yanhuai stood there, watching Lin Yang's back, which was already uncomfortable walking, until he disappeared.

Turning to look at the door he just ran out of, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Looking back, someone approached and stopped in front of him.

"Why did you come out? Where are you?"

Chu Yanhuai looked sideways in the direction Lin Yang had just run away.

"Ran."

The other party stared at him with wide eyes and roared: "What? Run away?"

He was a little annoyed and came here specifically to see the progress of the situation, but he saw nothing.

"Is it possible? If you come all the way and have people run away, that doesn't mean there is no progress at all."

Chu Yanhuai raised his eyes and said calmly, "What do you think?"

If he asked this, then there must be progress.

"Then what to do next."

His deep eyes concealed an incomprehensible meaning.

Chu Yanhuai didn't say anything, and they left together.

As soon as they left, someone ran out of the door.

He looked anxious.

Looking around, he only saw the back figures of the two men leaving.

Not seeing the person he was looking for, he cursed angrily.

When Lin Yang returned to Xie's house, the lights were still brightly lit.

Grandma Xie, who had come back from an overnight flight with her and should have rested long ago, was now sitting in the living room.

Seeing her coming in alone, Grandma Xie looked a little uncomfortable.

"Ayang, why are you back alone? Didn't you go find Xie Shiyu? Where are the others?"

Lin Yang walked over expressionlessly.

"Not found." The tone was quite gentle.

Grandma Xie's voice rose louder: "Didn't find it?"

"This stinky boy, I will leave for a month and learn to stay up all night and mess around outside."

"It was all caused by that woman!"

Grandma Xie was so angry that she hit the ground several times with the crutch in her hand.

Lin Yang listened without saying a word.

He lowered his head and his eyes were full of indifference.

All night long, she had no major reaction to Xie Shiyu's matter.

Except that person.

She thought of those abyss-like eyes again.

When he looked at her, every move she made seemed to be penetrated.

Even without any emotional ups and downs in the sound, she could have a reaction she had never had when facing Xie Shiyu.

Lin Yang was also surprised that he could still think of him after only seeing him once.

Maybe it's because he's good-looking. Just from appearance alone, he looks more reliable than Xie Shiyu.

When she went to see Xie Shiyu, it was only for the Xie family to see. After all, she was still Xie Shiyu's fiancée in name.

Her fiancé was messing around outside and she didn't react at all, which was really unjustifiable.

But she is not easy to talk to, she is really gentle and considerate.

Isn’t it just for fun? Who can’t?

She didn't like Xie Shiyu's tricks.

Grandma Xie calmed down a little from her anger. She didn't hear anything Lin Yang said and saw that she kept her head down and said nothing.She thought she was angry with Xie Shi Yu for what he did, but it was hard to say no in front of the Xie family.

As an elder, she should mediate.

"Ayang, don't be angry with that brat. He's ignorant and don't be as knowledgeable as him. Those things about Xie Shiyu can't be taken seriously. Xie Shiyu's wife will only be you, Lin Yang."

Grandma Xie said it with sincerity.

Lin Yang only felt funny in his heart.

No matter what they think, they don't think about it anymore.

No one thinks that Xie Shiyu's wife is related to Lin Yang, nor is she Lin Yang.

Isn't it causing trouble for myself to have a relationship with such a person?

Grandma Xie continued: "You can have a temper with Xie Shiyu, but you must not be impulsive in front of outsiders and do things that you will regret."

It seems to be comforting, but if you listen carefully, it is more like a warning.

Lin Yang listened with a smile on his face and his heart still.

After all, she is an outsider. Even though she has called her grandma for so many years, she is not her kisser after all.

It was normal for Grandma Xie to speak for her grandson Xie Shiyu, and she must have been thinking about things that were beneficial to the Xie family.

"I know grandma is good to me, but there are some things that still depend on what Shi Yu thinks. He..."

She stopped mid-sentence and did not continue.

He buried his head deeper.

Taking grievances to the extreme.

Grandma Xie seemed distressed, holding Lin Yang's hand and asking her to sit next to her.

"Ayang, don't worry about what he thinks. Grandma can decide this matter. He has to agree even if he doesn't agree."

"You are a good boy. Grandma watched you grow up. Grandma knows it. It's a pity that your parents passed away early." Suddenly, Lin Yang's life experience was mentioned. Grandma Xie stopped for a moment and checked Lin Yang. She didn't see anything. reaction and continued. "You have lived in the Xie family for so many years. Grandma has long regarded you as her own. She will definitely not let Xie Shiyu bully you."

"Besides, your engagement with Shi Yu was concluded five years ago. If he didn't like you, he would have started a quarrel long ago."

Lin Yang raised his head, the ends of his eyes already turning red.

With tears in her eyes, I expressed my gratitude to Grandma Xie.

Anyone who sees it can't help but feel sad.

Grandma Xie smiled and patted her hand kindly to reassure her.

Lin Yang's eyes were filled with tears and he spoke softly: "But there is still someone else by his side, grandma. If it weren't for this engagement, forget it."

Her voice was a little choked, and her tone was filled with regret, as she slowly expressed her inner plan.

I don’t expect that just saying it will work.

I just want to test their reaction first.

"How about that?"

As expected, Grandma Xie refused with great emotion.

This was what Lin Yang had expected.

"No, this engagement was made when your parents were still alive. Now that your parents have been gone for so long, you suddenly have no idea how outsiders should view the Xie family. Isn't this..."

The old lady spoke too quickly and said some words without thinking.

Only halfway through did I realize I had said the wrong thing.

Lin Yang looked at her, his eyes slowly lowered.

Grandma Xie felt a little panicked.

"No, grandma didn't mean that, it's just."

She suddenly felt helpless.

Then there was movement at the door, breaking the deadlock.

Lin Yang raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.

The person who came in was Xie Shiyu.

He walked in and saw Lin Yang in the living room. He walked over slowly, his eyes fixed on the cheongsam she was wearing, and finally made sure.

"It is indeed you, who is that man!"

Xie Shiyu rushed over and pointed at Lin Yang angrily and asked.

Lin Yang looked at Xie Shiyu with calm eyes.

He looked at it and felt scared in his heart before Lin Yang spoke.

"What am I?"

Xie Shiyu became even more angry when he heard that she didn't recognize her.

"You still don't admit it. Originally, I might have admitted my mistake because of my appearance, but now that I see the clothes you're wearing, it's not who you are!"

In the entire Hecheng, she was the only one who would appear in a bar wearing a cheongsam.
