Chapter 1468: Became an Irresponsible Man/ You Can’t Leave





There were many sundries compiled at the side of the narrow stairway. There were some abandoned lockers, and some big tanks which were used to marinate pickled Chinese cabbage. There were also some salty gherkins and big onions hanging by the side of the stairway. There was also some napa cabbage on the window sill. The place was decorated like a classic farmhouse.


It was rare for this kind of environment to appear in a new community. Only a few elders who had moved here could do it. After all, not many teenagers knew how to marinate pickled Chinese cabbage.


“Most of the people living in this small community were once workers at a chemical plant. Most of them aren’t that rich,” Bao Sanli explained when he saw Yang Ming looking around the stairway.


“What are Shen Yuxi’s parents doing now?” Yang Ming nodded and asked.


“Shen Yuxi’s father, Chen Daqi, was originally a worker at the car workshop in the Song Jiang North South Chemical Plant. After he retired, he went to sell Shaobing [1] and Douhua [2] by a market near this small community. Shen Yuxi’s mother, Sun Liping, used to work part-time. Now that Shen Yuxi’s legs are problematic, she marinates some side dishes at home while taking care of Shen Yuxi. She lets Shen Daqi sell these dishes at the market in the afternoon and at night,” Bao Sanli said. “Originally, the market’s management received fees from them every day based on their income. After I talked with the management, they cut the fees by half.”


“You didn’t represent the company and give Shen Yuxi’s family some money?” Yang Ming asked after hearing how bad Shen Yuxi’s living conditions were.


“I offered… But Shen Daqi didn’t want it no matter what,” Bao Sanli smiled bitterly. “Shen Daqi is an honest man. He felt that we had already given Shen Yuxi so much money for her medical bills, and it wasn’t appropriate for them to take anymore.”


Yang Ming was a little surprised. However, he didn’t feel that anything was wrong. Shen Daqi’s personality was like the previous Yang Dahai. They were very honest, and wouldn’t take advantage of anybody.


“We’re here, Brother Yang. It’s this door,” Bao Sanli told Yang Ming after stopping at a door on the top floor.


Oh? How does Shen Yuxi get downstairs if she lives so high up?” Yang Ming frowned upon seeing the floor that Shen Yuxi was staying at.


“She is normally carried up with a stretcher,” Bao Sanli smiled and said, “Our company has so many strong men. Many of them will rush here to help with just a summon.”


Yang Ming was a little speechless after hearing Bao Sanli’s words. Indeed, there are many fit guys in the security company. Any few of them would be able to carry Shen Yuxi upstairs safely.


“Dang dang dang.” Bao Sanli knocked on the door.


“Who is it?” After a while, a man’s voice came from inside the house. “Is it Old Liu? Go to the market by yourself today. I’m not going…”


The door opened as he was talking. A wrinkly old man’s face appeared. The man was shocked when he saw Bao Sanli, “Mr. Bao, why is it you? Come in quickly. I thought that it was Old Liu from downstairs who was calling me to go to the market together.”


“Uncle Shen, this is Yang Ming, Mr. Yang. He came here to visit Yuxi with me,” Bao Sanli smiled while introducing Yang Ming to Shen Daqi.


Bao Sanli had misunderstood the relationship between Shen Yuxi and Yang Ming previously. Thanks to that, he now addressed Shen Daqi as “uncle” although he was younger than Shen Daqi by merely ten years. While Bao Sanli should have addressed Shen Daqi as “brother”, he was afraid at that time that he would mess up his seniority with Yang Ming.


“Oh?” Shen Daqi was a little surprised, and looked at Yang Ming, baffled. His daughter kept on mentioning Yang Ming every time she talked, which made Shen Daqi misunderstand that Yang Ming was Shen Yuxi’s boyfriend. When he saw his daughter’s facial expressions, he thought that Shen Yuxi had a deep affection towards Yang Ming.


Shen Daqi had attempted to ask his daughter about Yang Ming a few times. However, Shen Yuxi remained silent and did not say anything important. The more Shen Yuxi acted like this, the more Shen Daqi thought that Yang Ming was Shen Yuxi’s boyfriend.


Now that she had become like this, that boyfriend had probably left her. Because of that, even though he had guessed it, Shen Daqi did not dare to ask his daughter to prevent her from being sad.


However, Shen Daqi was secretly angry and scolded Yang Ming for being heartless. After his daughter had an accident, this boyfriend called Yang Ming did not even come and visit her once, even if it was out of courtesy. This made Shen Daqi very angry.


When he heard Bao Sanli say that this person was Yang Ming, Shen Daqi’s face immediately turned gloomy.


“Yang Ming, huh . I have heard your name for a long time,” Shen Daqi said coldly towards Yang Ming. After that, he did not look at Yang Ming anymore. He turned his head towards Bao Sanli and said, “Mr. Bao, please enter!”


“Uncle Shen…” Yang Ming confusedly called out to Shen Daqi. Yang Ming didn’t know why Shen Daqi treated him like this, as if there was some deep hatred between the two of them.


Bao Sanli was also very puzzled, and also didn’t understand why Shen Daqi was acting like this. However, there was nothing wrong with it. Even if Shen Daqi had any complaints, he would not bad-mouth Yang Ming to Bao Sanli. Shen Daqi assumed that it was impossible for Bao Sanli to know Yang Ming, which was why he did not tell him these matters.


When he saw Yang Ming and Bao Sanli come together today, he was filled with such deep hatred that he neglected such small details.


“Hmph,” Shen Daqi snorted coldly. He did not respond to Yang Ming, and did not say anything else to him.


Yang Ming and Bao Sanli glanced at each other. Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and shrugged his shoulders, “Baozi, how did I offend Uncle Shen?”


“I’m not sure either. You both should have not met each other yet, right?” Bao Sanli was also confused. “Could it be that he is angry because you did not come to visit Shen Yuxi at all despite being the chairman of the group?”


“He knows that I’m the chairman?” Yang Ming shook his head, “He shouldn’t know about it, right?”


“Then I really can’t guess it. How about I ask him?” Bao Sanli said after being unable to reach a conclusion despite thinking about it.


“No need to. It’s inappropriate to ask him directly. We’ll see what happens.” Yang Ming and Bao Sanli went into Shen Yuxi’s house together.


Yang Ming and Bao Sanli followed Shen Daqi into the house. It was a classic small apartment, with only one living room and one bedroom. When Yang Ming came into the living room, he saw a girl whose beauty could not be hidden even though her face was so pale. She was flipping through a book while lying on the sofa.


“Yuxi, Mr. Bao has come to visit you,” Shen Daqi told Shen Yuxi.


Oh? Brother Bao?” Shen Yuxi was a little surprised and put down the book in her hand. “Didn’t Brother Bao just leave? Why did he come back again?”


During this time, Shen Yuxi and Bao Sanli’s relationship had become closer. Last time, Shen Yuxi addressed Bao Sanli as President Bao. After that, Bao Sanli felt that it was too formal, and asked her to just call him Brother Bao.


“Ah?!” Shen Yuxi raised her head and saw Yang Ming accompanying Bao Sanli into the house. She was shocked for a moment, and couldn’t help but blush. Her beautiful eyes were also flowing with surprise.


Shen Yuxi was always hoping for Yang Ming to visit her. However, she knew that this was impossible. She had no relation with Yang Ming, and she didn’t know if Yang Ming would even remember her. Even if he remembered her, why would he come and visit her?


During her conversations with Bao Sanli all this time, Shen Yuxi knew about Yang Ming’s real identity as the Ming Yang Group’s Chairman. She even knew that Bao Sanli was Yang Ming’s underling. How can this kind of person have anything to do with me?


The feeling of wanting to become Yang Ming’s lover had also faded a lot. However, she realized that she still had feelings for Yang Ming deep down in her heart after discarding such impractical thoughts.


If anything, it was because of Yang Ming’s act of saving the beauty in the room at that time. Shen Yuxi’s maiden heart had been deeply touched and she started to feel affection for him.


When Shen Daqi saw his daughter’s shy face that was blushing, his expression turned even more gloomy as he felt that his guess was correct. While he was feeling heartbroken for his daughter’s infatuation, he was also angry at how irresponsible Yang Ming was.


Yang Ming did not look like his daughter’s boyfriend from his dull expression. His expression was just like a normal friend that barely knew his daughter!


Now, Shen Daqi had already misunderstood. Yang Ming had no relationship with Shen Yuxi to begin with. There would be a problem if he was to act too close with Shen Yuxi.


However, Shen Daqi had made an assumption first, and assumed that Yang Ming was an irresponsible man who didn’t want his daughter anymore after he found out that she was crippled! Shen Daqi assumed that Bao Sanli knew about how much Shen Yuxi missed Yang Ming, so he caught Yang Ming and brought him here in front of her.


Shen Daqi still knew about Bao Sanli’s social connections and capability. It wasn’t hard for Bao Sanlifind someone if he wanted to.


Chapter 1712 You Can’t Leave


“Mr. Bao, please enjoy your tea!” Shen Daqi poured a cup of tea for Bao Sanli, and placed it in front of him on the coffee table. He ignored Yang Ming’s existence.


“This… Thank you…” Bao Sanli received the tea. He didn’t know whether to drink it or pass it to Yang Ming, which made him feel a little awkward. He thought, What happened to Shen Daqi today?


“Just drink it. I’m not thirsty,” Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said while looking at Bao Sanli.


You won’t get it even if you’re thirsty! Shen Daqi thought to himself. However, he still held back his anger for now and did not say it. He wanted to see what Yang Ming would tell his daughter later. If he says something about wanting to get back together, then this matter will be settled just like that. However, if he says anything about breaking up or keeping a distance from each other, then it won’t be too late for me to scold him.


“Shen Yuxi, how are you now?” Yang Ming did not understand why Shen Daqi was treating him like this, and did not care about it anymore. He turned his head towards Shen Yuxi and asked her with concern.


“There’s still no feeling in my legs at all,” Shen Yuxi’s face turned gloomy when her leg was mentioned. The happiness she got from seeing Yang Ming visit her had also faded a little.


Shen Yuxi did not know how Bao Sanli had managed to invite Yang Ming over. She heard from Bao Sanli that Yang Ming had left for a faraway place some time ago, and should have just come back not long ago.


Bao Sanli knows of my feelings for Yang Ming. Did Bao Sanli tell Yang Ming about my feelings? Shen Yuxi’s face became hot as she thought about how Yang Ming might know that she had a crush on him. She shyly lowered her head.


Yang Ming did not see the shyness on her face. When he saw her lowering her head, he thought that she was sad because of her leg’s condition. He comforted her and said, ” Medical technology is very advanced now. There must be a way. What did the doctor say?”


“The doctor said that western medicine is unable to treat me, and he asked me to find some Chinese doctor,” Shen Yuxi sighed and said. “The doctor had tried a Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture… Brother Bao had already brought me to a few stores, but they weren’t effective at all…”


“As long as there is hope…” Yang Ming nodded and comforted, “This kind of treatment is a slow process. It can’t be cured in just a day.”


“En…” Hope ignited in Shen Yuxi’s heart when she heard Yang Ming’s encouragement. “I hope that I can stand up again…”


“You will,” Yang Ming nodded. “What book are you reading?”


Yang Ming decided to change the topic. The topic before was a little heavy, and it might affect Shen Yuxi’s mood if they were to talk more about it.


“Oh… It’s a book about hotel management…” Shen Yuxi was embarrassed about it. However, she did not hide anything from Yang Ming. “I bought it and was prepared to learn a bit from it when I was working in the hotel. After that thing happened… Now I have nothing to do, so I just read through it… Besides, my family’s condition… There are no books for me to read…”


Shen Yuxi felt a little embarrassed when she said those last few words.


Yang Ming naturally understood what Shen Yuxi meant when she said she had no books to read. Her parents were laid-off workers and were not intellectuals. They naturally wouldn’t buy any books.


Before Shen Yuxi became a foreman, her income wasn’t that much as well. It was impossible for her to buy any books.


Yang Ming felt uncomfortable after hearing what Shen Yuxi said. Even though he changed the topic, it was still something sad for her.


“Take care of yourself. After you’ve recovered, you’ll be able to use your new knowledge. Definitely.” said Yang Ming.


Hehe, I hope so.” Shen Yuxi smiled sweetly. She felt that this was the happiest day she had experienced since the accident. Although Yang Ming was just conversing with her very normally, Shen Yuxi was already very happy. This chance was not one she would get at any time.


Besides, Shen Yuxi had also calmed down her feelings. She knew that she was not worthy of Yang Ming right now, and decided to not think about it anymore. She also did not want to force anything.


“My dorm has many similar books. Since you like to read, I’ll find a day to search for them and bring them over to you.” Yang Ming thought of the management books brought by Donghua and Zhang Bing. When Tian Donghua had left, he had not brought the books along with him so they were left in the dorm and were not brought away by him. Yang Ming decided to use them.


“Sure,” Shen Yuxi nodded happily after hearing Yang Ming’s words.


“Alright, let’s leave it at that. I have things to do tonight. I’ll come to visit you some other day.” Yang Ming told Shen Yuxi after looking at the time on his phone.


“En.” Shen Yuxi was very happy now. There was no other reason than that Yang Ming had agreed to bring her more books another day. Although Shen Yuxi knew that she was not worthy of Yang Ming due to her current condition, her maiden heart still hoped to interact with Yang Ming more. She was hoping that something would happen.


“You’re leaving just like this?” Shen Daqi couldn’t hold it in anymore when he saw that Yang Ming was leaving just like that. He immediately stood in front of Yang Ming and blocked him from leaving.


Ah? Why can’t I leave?” Yang Ming was confused by Shen Daqi’s actions. He was speechless when he saw that Shen Daqi’s face was filled with anger. How did I offend this honest man?


“Now that my daughter’s legs are crippled, you don’t care anymore as you have had your fun with her. Was your kindness snatched away by a dog [3]?” Shen Daqi was so angry that his whole body was trembling, especially when he saw Yang Ming feigning innocence. He pointed at Yang Ming and scolded loudly. He was so emotional that he was unable to convey his emotions clearly. He originally wanted to say. You are already dating my daughter, and yet you’re leaving her when she’s so sick now. However, when he said it aloud, Shen Yuxi had suddenly become Yang Ming’s plaything…


“What?” Yang Ming’s eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Daqi dumbstruck. He was left speechless and his forehead was filled with cold sweat. Since when did I fool around with Shen Yuxi… And since when did I not care about her anymore?


Bao Sanli was also left dumbstruck by Shen Daqi’s sudden outburst. He stared at Shen Daqi in shock.


As for Shen Yuxi, she immediately understood what had happened when she heard Shen Daqi’s words. Father must have misunderstood my relationship with Yang Ming! My unclear words have not only failed to calm father down, but made him also think that I had something to do with Yang Ming, which made such an awkward scene happen!


Shen Yuxi felt her face burning. This is too shameful! How can dad suddenly say this?


“Dad, what are you saying!” Shen Yuxi became anxious and immediately shouted at Shen Daqi.


“Yuxi, don’t be afraid. Father will give you justice!” Shen Daqi waved his hand and stopped Shen Yuxi from talking. “Yang Ming, my daughter thinks of you every day, and misses you. Even now, she’s still defending you! However, are you really at ease?”


“I …” Yang Ming didn’t know how to explain after hearing what Shen Daqi said. Right now, Yang Ming had also vaguely guessed what had happened, and was sure that Shen Daqi had misunderstood something.


When Shen Yuxi heard her father tell Yang Ming about her troubles, she was suddenly very embarrassed. She shouted with her face blushing red, “Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? You got it wrong!”


“Got it wrong? What did I get wrong?” Shen Daqi was a little anxious when he saw that his daughter was still so obsessed over Yang Ming that she was trying to help him. “This Yang Ming was your partner when your legs were still working. Now that your legs have problems, he didn’t even visit you after so long. How did I get it wrong?”


“My partner?” Yang Ming stared at Bao Sanli speechlessly. He smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Bao, how about you explain it?”


“Uncle Shen, don’t be so emotional. There are some misunderstandings in this!” Bao Sanli now understood what had happened. After he was reminded by Yang Ming, he immediately told Shen Daqi.


En? President Bao, didn’t you catch Yang Ming and bring him here to visit Yuxi?” Shen Daqi never thought that Bao Sanli would say that there was a misunderstanding. He was shocked for a moment.


“I caught him?” Bao Sanli was shocked, and shook his head, “How can I catch him? Mr. Yang requested to come here himself. I just directed him here…”
