When Yang Ling woke up from the nightmare, she was already covered in cold sweat.
Scenes from the past, vaguely just yesterday, are clearly visible.
This was the pain in his heart, and it was also a hurdle that he could not overcome. The voices, faces, and smiles seemed to linger in front of his eyes.
Yang Ling gritted his teeth and clenched his fists fiercely, with bursts of coldness in his eyes.
Outside the window, at night, the dark clouds seemed particularly heavy, making the originally dark night seem even more oppressive. The sudden strong wind swayed the branches wantonly, as if a demon was baring its teeth and claws.
I picked up my phone and took a look. I saw several missed calls, all from Xue Bing.
Yang Ling trembled for a while and hurried back.
"Sorry, I slept too hard."
"It's okay, it's okay. Come over here quickly. I'll wait for you here. I'll send you the location in a moment." After saying that, Xue Bing hung up the phone.
Get up, get dressed, and go out.
In the kitchen, Yu Meng is busy and methodical.
Yang Ling was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that a CEO like Yu Meng could also cook, which was quite surprising.
"Are you awake? Have you eaten? The meal is almost ready. Let's eat together." Yu Meng's expression was very calm, as if he had forgotten the troubles of the day.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to the fact that there will always be things like this in the company. If she always lets these things disturb her mood, then she will definitely not have a happy day. As a person, you must know how to adjust and deal with troubles.
It's useless to be upset. The only feasible way is to keep working hard to solve the problem.
"No, I have to go out in a while." Yang Ling smiled and nodded in thanks.
With Zhou Jingfeng's capital injection, I believe that Sanshi Group will be able to overcome the difficulties soon.
"Oh." Yu Meng responded lightly, without any more words, turned around and continued busy.
Yang Ling said no more, said goodbye, went out and drove away.
The place to eat is not far from Yu Meng's villa, and it takes less than twenty minutes to drive. When Yang Ling arrived, Xue Bing was already waiting downstairs.
Seeing him, Xue Bing hurriedly greeted him.
"Just look at my eyes and act naturally. My parents are very easy to get along with." Xue Bing comforted. As he said this, he took out the prepared gifts from his car and handed them to Yang Ling.
Yang Ling smiled noncommittally and thought, how could the deputy mayor of Jinling City, who is in charge of the public security, procuratorate, and law, have no airs at all? Most people in the officialdom are a little bit bureaucratic, right?
"Let's go." Xue Bing naturally took Yang Ling's arm and walked towards the hotel.
As he walked, Xue Bing glanced at him secretly, as if to confirm the expression on his face. Unfortunately, Yang Ling's face was serious, and there was no trace of happiness, anger, sorrow or joy.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, it was just that he was too nervous. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his palms were filled with cold sweat.
When he met his parents for the first time, although he and Xue Bing were not a real couple, he was still a little uneasy.
Opening the door, I saw a middle-aged man and woman sitting inside.
Xue Bing's parents, Xue Yongzheng and Li Mei.
The man was dressed in a suit and had an expressionless face. When he heard the door opening, his eyes fell on Yang Ling and he scanned it up and down carefully. His eyes were like a torch, as if he could see through Yang Ling's whole person, very sharp.
The woman had a kind smile on her face and looked very easy-going.
Meeting Xue Yongzheng's gaze, Yang Ling looked at him without fear, and his original uneasy mood disappeared in an instant. He was already a stubborn person, but at a time like this, it aroused his competitive spirit.
Xue Yongzheng's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised that Yang Ling dared to look at him like this, and he had a certain fondness for him in his heart. If it was the kind of cowardice that trembled to avoid his gaze, it would make him look down on him.
"Mom and Dad, let me introduce to you, this is my boyfriend, Yang Ling." Xue Bing introduced.
"Uncle, auntie." Yang Ling nodded politely to express his goodwill.
"Okay, okay, come on, come on, sit down quickly." Li Mei laughed, looking very happy, as if a mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him.
"Bingbing didn't tell me in advance. It happened suddenly and I didn't have time to prepare. I just bought something for my second brother. Please don't mind." Yang Ling said as he handed the things over.
"No, no, we just want to have a meal and meet you." Li Mei took the gift.
"Sit down and eat." Xue Yongzheng's lukewarm words broke the chat with a serious expression.
Li Mei glanced at him secretly, as if complaining that he shouldn't be so serious.
"Do you want to drink?" Xue Yongzheng picked up the bottle and asked.
"Not really." Yang Ling smiled modestly.
"Drink a little with me." Xue Yongzheng seemed to be satisfied with Yang Ling's answer. He didn't allow Yang Ling to refuse and filled up his wine glass.
"Bingbing, when did you meet? Why don't we know anything about it?" Xue Yongzheng looked at Xue Bing and asked.
"We have only known each other for a month. I thought the time was not yet ripe, so I didn't tell you. I originally planned to wait until our relationship was more stable and the time was right before taking him home to see you. However, you force me to go on a blind date every day.
I have no choice but to quickly introduce you to each other." Xue Bing lied without blushing or breathing, and there was no problem at all.
She has a cold face to begin with. Even in front of her parents, she rarely smiles. She doesn't express her emotions easily. Because of this, even if she lies, she still doesn't show any guilty expression.
"Xiao Yang, come on, let's have a drink first." Xue Yongzheng nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with her answer.
"Uncle, I respect you." Yang Ling stood up, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"A man is a real man," Xue Yongzheng said.
"What are you doing? Don't scare people. Do you think everyone is like you?" Li Mei glared at him and complained.
"It's okay, it's okay, uncle, then I'll do it." After saying that, Yang Ling raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Xue Yongzheng was very happy and drank the same glass of wine.
"Hurry up and eat the food. Bingbing, pick up some food for Xiao Yang." Li Mei said quickly.
The considerate and meticulous care made Yang Ling feel warm in her heart, as if she had found a feeling of maternal love.
"Xiao Yang, is there anyone else in your family?" Li Mei asked.
"There is also a grandfather and younger brothers and sisters." Yang Ling said truthfully.
Li Mei was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where are your parents?"
Yang Ling did not hide anything and simply told the situation at home truthfully.
"It's not easy for your grandpa, either." Li Mei sighed.
"I heard from Bingbing that you work as a bodyguard in the Sanshi Group, right? What are your plans for your future?" Xue Yongzheng still looked serious and serious.
