Chapter 413 - Pleasing the Mother-in-Law
Chapter 413 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" introduces the scene: But before he reached the restroom, he encountered Yangâs mother coming out of the kitchen.Seeing... Keep going!
But before he reached the restroom, he encountered Yangâs mother coming out of the kitchen.
Seeing Yang Ruoxiâs hurried appearance, Yangâs mother curiously asked, âWhere are you off to in such a hurry?â
âDad wanted to see Chen Yang, but I couldnât find him, so I thought Iâd check the restroom.â
Yang Ruoxi said.
âOh, Chen Yang isnât in the restroom.
Heâs in the kitchen helping me wash dishes.
You should go to the kitchen,â Yangâs mother replied.
âWashing dishes?â
Yang Ruoxi was somewhat astonished but chuckled to herself a second later.
âThis guy, heâs pretty good at currying favor with his mother-in-law!â
Yang Ruoxi said gleefully.
âWhat are you giggling about?
If you need to find him, hurry up and donât let your dad get too anxious,â Yangâs mother urged.
âAlright, Iâm going now.â
Yang Ruoxi stowed away her gleeful mood and immediately went to the kitchen, found Chen Yang, and mentioned that Yang Tiancheng was looking for him.
âOkay, Iâll be right there.â
Upon hearing that Yang Tiancheng was looking for him, Chen Yang knew the main event of the day was about to unfold.
Whether it would be a pleasant chat or end unpleasantly, was yet to be seen.
Chen Yang took off his apron and gloves, then followed Yang Ruoxi out of the kitchen.
Yang Tiancheng was already waiting in the living room.
As soon as he saw Chen Yang come in, he immediately said coolly, âCome upstairs with me.â
Having said this, Yang Tiancheng turned and headed up the stairs.
Chen Yang exchanged a glance with Yang Ruoxi, then followed him upstairs.
Yang Ruoxi initially wanted to go up as well, but was stopped by Li Han.
âUncle is asking for Chen Yang; they must have something to discuss between them.
You better not follow,â Li Han said.
Yang Ruoxi looked down at Li Han and thought it made sense.
So she didnât follow but instead sat next to Li Han, no longer in the mood to watch TV.
âSister, what do you think Dad wants with Chen Yang?
Is he going to give him five million to leave me?â
Yang Ruoxiâs eyes were full of curiosity.
Li Han almost spit out her drink upon hearing this.
âWhat are you thinking?
This isnât a TV drama.
Five million to leave you?â
Li Han poked Yang Ruoxiâs head with her index finger, then inadvertently glanced towards the upstairs.
âMy guess is that Uncle is back to negotiating terms with Chen Yang.â
Li Han said.
âNegotiating terms?
What terms?â
Yang Ruoxi was still full of questions.
Li Han was somewhat bemused by how naive Yang Ruoxi was.
Was her thinking really that simple?
Couldnât she guess Yang Tianchengâs changing attitude toward Chen Yang from small details?
Li Han shook her head helplessly, deciding not to continue the conversation with Yang Ruoxi and lay down on the sofa to continue watching TV.
Meanwhile, upstairs,
Chen Yang followed Yang Tiancheng upstairs and entered the tea room on the second floor of the Li Han familyâs villa.
Entering the room, the two sat facing each other.
Yang Tiancheng still had a stern face.
He didnât speak, and naturally, Chen Yang wouldnât either, just sitting quietly opposite him.
Yang Tiancheng used one hand to operate on the tea table,
boiling water and brewing tea.
After the first cup of tea was brewed, he handed it to Chen Yang.
âHave a taste,â
Yang Tiancheng said coolly.
âAlright.â
Chen Yang nodded and then gently took the teacup in both hands and took a sip.
âHow is it?
Does it taste alright?â
After watching Chen Yang take a sip, Yang Tiancheng immediately asked.
This made Chen Yang slightly startled; he hadnât expected Yang Tiancheng to ask him such a question.
But Chen Yang reacted quickly.
After a slight pause of a second, he blurted out, âItâs good tea.
Although the taste is a bit too bitter and sweet, a careful tasting reveals a unique flavor.â
Chen Yang didnât understand tea, but he had the help of the Medicine Kingâs Classic.
With its aid, he could quickly discern the strengths and weaknesses of the tea, even determining the quality and type of the leaves.
Chen Yangâs commentary took Yang Tiancheng somewhat by surprise.
âYou can also taste tea?â
Yang Tiancheng asked unexpectedly.
âHmmâŚ
I know a thing or two, somewhat,â
Chen Yang, unsure of what Yang Tiancheng meant, responded after pondering for a moment.
âHehe.â
Yang Tiancheng gave a mysterious smile, continued brewing tea, and washed the teacups.
While busy, he still said, âActually, I have been observing and investigating you during this period.â
âAfter my investigations, I found that you, Chen Yang, are indeed quite extraordinary.
I misjudged you.â
Yang Tianchengâs face was expressionless, revealing no mood whatsoever.
However, Chen Yang didnât care to discern his mood.
He himself walked the straight and sat upright; although the other party was Ruoxiâs father, he felt no need to be overly humble.
Besides, Chen Yang couldnât behave servilely even if he tried.
All he needed to do was be himself!
âUncle Yang is too kind.â
Chen Yang said modestly.
Hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Yang Tianchengâs face.
âYou donât have to be too modest.
Although I admit you are quite capable, you are still somewhat far from Ruoxi,â
Yang Tiancheng said coolly.
Chen Yang nodded slightly, âI know this, but I will continue to strive to provide Ruoxi a better life.â
Chen Yangâs sudden declaration surprised Yang Tiancheng, but only momentarily.
âLetâs not talk about this for now.
I donât want to hear it at the moment.
Anyway, if you wish to become my son-in-law, you still have a long way to go,â
Yang Tiancheng said, staring intently into Chen Yangâs eyes.
Chen Yang was unsure of what he meant.
As Chen Yang was about to reply to Yang Tianchengâs statement, Yang Tiancheng spoke again.
He took a long breath, put down the teaware, and said solemnly to Chen Yang, âLetâs not talk about anything else right now.
Today, I invited you here because I have a matter I would like to discuss with you.â
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately knew that the main topic was coming.
âUncle, please speak directly.â
Chen Yang said evenly.
âAlright, Iâll get straight to the point then,â
Yang Tiancheng asked, âI heard you recently collaborated with Li Han on a medicinal cuisine project, right?â
Indeed, it was a medicinal cuisine.
Chen Yang inwardly marveled, nodding without any change of expression, âYes, it was a medicinal cuisine project, and it earned quite a bit.
Without this project, I probably wouldnât have met your expectations,â
Chen Yang spoke the truth, openly discussing the significant profits the medicinal cuisine project brought him.
This was unexpected for Yang Tiancheng.
However, he quite admired Chen Yangâs forthright nature.
âActually, I wanted to meet you today to discuss potentially collaborating on the medicinal cuisine,â Yang Tiancheng said directly.
âCollaborate with me?
Uncle Yang, what do you want to do?â
Chen Yang had been aware of Yang Tianchengâs intention to collaborate, so when Yang Tiancheng spoke, Chen Yang showed no hint of surprise, maintaining a calm expression.
This surprised Yang Tiancheng.
But as a shrewd businessman, after a brief reflection, he knew Chen Yang must have already known of his intentions through some channels.
And this channel could only be through Li Han.
âHehe, Li Han is a clever child.
With just a few simple phone calls, she figured out what I was thinking,â
Yang Tiancheng laughed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang also smiled, âYes, Li Han is indeed very smart, but I think a large part of her skills come from studying with you.â
While praising Li Han, Chen Yang took the opportunity to flatter Yang Tiancheng.
