Chapter 486: 486 The Woman Actually Shows Up at the Door
She froze in place, a bit at a loss.
Yang Qingyin was also stunned; she incredulously turned to look at her furious father and eventually showed nothing but contempt.
“As you wish!” Yang Qingyin coldly dropped the words, walked into her room, and locked the door from the inside.
Only then did Chen Qiaoyu snap back to reality. She desperately pounded on the door, asking Yang Qingyin to open it so they could talk, mother and daughter together, but Yang Qingyin refused, saying she was tired and wanted to sleep. After locking the door, Yang Qingyin leaned against it, and the tears she’d held back finally rolled down her cheeks.
She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, that her father would lose his cool like this today.
She understood the underlying message in her father’s words, which was, if she didn’t follow the family’s arrangement, he would expel her from the Yang Family, strip her of everything she had, even going so far as to take revenge on her.
Since she was a child, her parents had always doted on her, especially her father, Yang Yunlin, who considered her the pride of the Yang Family.
It was precisely the love and cultivation of her parents that allowed her to learn independence early on and use her own efforts to prove her excellence.
She hoped to have a different kind of life, one she created herself, including both her career and marriage.
Her parents had also promised her, repeatedly stating their willingness to give her freedom and space, not to interfere in her choices, including her lifestyle and marriage.
Such promises made her feel luckier than other rich and noble children, as she could freely choose her own life.
But unexpectedly, now her life had turned out to be even more unfortunate than those of other wealthy offspring.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but want to cry.
At that moment, the sound of a WeChat notification went off; it was a message from Luo Ziling, a long one.
“Senpai, did you go home or back to school? How are things? Was it your dad who intercepted you? How did they find out we went out together? Did Fang Dongxun rat us out, or was it someone else? If you can, call me later. No matter what, you must let me know what’s happening; otherwise, I’m going to be really worried.”
After reading the message, Yang Qingyin felt slightly less gloomy.
After thinking for a moment, she walked into the bathroom without closing the door and called Luo Ziling back.
The phone was answered before it even rang, Luo Ziling’s voice came through: “Senpai, how’s it going?”
“Nothing’s wrong,” she felt Luo Ziling’s worry and concern, and Yang Qingyin couldn’t help feeling a bit of warmth, “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”
“You’re lying, I know something’s definitely wrong. Spill the beans, if you’re not honest with me, I’ll run to your dorm again.”
“I’m at home, I didn’t go back to school!”
“What?!” Luo Ziling sounded very surprised, “Is the lecture over? What exactly did they say? Tell me, I’m really anxious. If I’d known before, I wouldn’t have listened to you and would have spoken to your dad directly.”
“Do you want to anger my dad to death, push me onto a fire bed?” Yang Qingyin didn’t know how to tell Luo Ziling about today’s events, and in the end, she said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, I’m dead tired today and planning to go to bed early. I’ll return to school early tomorrow, and we can talk more when we meet.”
“Is there really nothing wrong?” Luo Ziling was still not quite sure.
“Of course there’s nothing wrong. When you see me tomorrow, you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth. From now on, I won’t often come home. I’ll stay at school over the weekends, and you have to take me out often, and you’re not allowed to bring other women, got it?” Yang Qingyin made a somewhat cheeky request.
Luo Ziling readily agreed.
In the end, it was Yang Qingyin who hung up the phone first.
After hanging up, Yang Qingyin, whose mood had improved considerably, didn’t go to sleep right away but started packing her things.
After packing up two large suitcases, she then went to bed.
The next day, when Yang Qingyin got up, there was no one home.
Feeling very sleepy last night, she fell asleep after taking a bath, but woke up a few hours later and had trouble falling back asleep.
She picked up her phone, intending to send a message to Luo Ziling about what happened after she got home last night, but ultimately she didn’t send the drafted message. Later, she started looking at photos, going through the ones she took with Luo Ziling, one by one.
Seeing the happy moments they shared together in the photos, the tender and sweet smiles in the pictures, Yang Qingyin’s mood lifted again, so she went back to sleep and didn’t get up until eight in the morning.
Yang Yunlin and Chen Qiaoyu must have gone to work. The villa was empty and silent.
A note was left on the dining room table, written by Chen Qiaoyu, saying that breakfast was in the kitchen and instructing Yang Qingyin to eat before going to school. Yang Qingyin had her still-warm breakfast from the kitchen before heading to school.
Upon seeing the two large suitcases that Yang Qingyin had brought out of her room, Ye Xiaoli was quite surprised but ultimately didn’t ask any questions and helped Yang Qingyin load the suitcases into the car.
“Later, help me carry them to the dorm,” Yang Qingyin didn’t elaborate but simply gave instructions.
Ye Xiaoli readily agreed, accompanied Yang Qingyin to the school, and moved her luggage into the dormitory.
When they were moving Yang Qingyin’s luggage into her dormitory, there was no one else there, probably because they all had gone to class.
“Xiaoli, if my dad no longer lets you follow me, I hope you won’t tell anyone about my affairs,” Yang Qingyin said earnestly to her as she was about to leave. “You’ve been with me for so many years and you understand my personality.”
Hearing Yang Qingyin say this, Ye Xiaoli became very worried and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, what’s happened?”
“It’s nothing. Just remember what I just said, don’t say anything about things you shouldn’t talk about. If you can still follow me, that’s our fate. If we’re forced to part ways, then let’s keep secrets for each other,” Yang Qingyin said, then went to class as if nothing had happened.
Ye Xiaoli stood there, dumbfounded, seemingly understanding something, and couldn’t help feeling worried.
Luo Ziling also went to class, but he felt uneasy. He was eager to see Yang Qingyin and wanted to talk to her in person.
So, during class, he sent a message to Yang Qingyin, asking her to have lunch together, which Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse.
But, to Luo Ziling’s surprise, during the break, he received a call from an unknown number. After answering, he was shocked to hear that it was a woman on the other end. Once she introduced herself, Luo Ziling was even more stunned.
It was Yang Qingyin’s mother, Chen Qiaoyu, asking to meet him for lunch.
