Chapter 376: Chapter 379: Absolutely Not Allowed _1

Catherine was deeply shaken.

"That man... He has eyes just like Noah. Incredible feeling. He is clearly an Eastern man with black hair and black pupils, while Noah is a true Western race with blue eyes. Why do I feel that Noah and that man’s eyes are similar?"

"What’s wrong?" Yang Gang noticed something off with Catherine, so he turned his head to look out the window, a meaningful hint of darkness crossing his gaze.

The man passing by the window was Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu seemed to sense something and instinctively turned his head to look, only to see Yang Gang and Catherine.

When his eyes fell on Catherine, a trace of malice was barely noticeable in Zhang Yu’s eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

He waved at Yang Gang and then went into the coffee shop too.

Coming over to Yang Gang and Catherine, Zhang Yu smiled faintly, "Wow, Gang, your girlfriend is too pretty."

"Uh, she’s not my girlfriend. She’s already married." Yang Gang said indifferently.

"Hmm..." Zhang Yu gave a meaningful smile, "I understand, I understand."

"Who is this?" Catherine suddenly asked.

"Oh, his name is Zhang Yu, a friend of mine." Yang Gang replied lightly.

"Name Zhang..." Catherine was shaken, she hesitated for a bit and then asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you also a Hangcheng resident?"

"Kind of, but not really. I am a wanderer; where there is heaven and earth, that is my home." Zhang Yu shrugged, and replied with a smile.

"Then, may I be so bold as to ask, Mr. Zhang, how old are you?" Catherine asked again.

"Hmm..." Zhang Yu suddenly leaned closer to Catherine, studying her up close, his mouth curling into a grin, "Does Sister have a thing for me?"

What?

Before Catherine could speak, Zhang Yu straightened up, saying with a grin, "I’m sorry. I already have someone in my heart. Besides her, I won’t like any other woman. And I won’t let any man other than me have her."

He glanced at his watch and said, "Ah, I’m going to be late, I have to go. Gang, have a good date."

With that, he swaggered off.

"What kind of person is that!" Catherine’s face was mortified.

Yang Gang watched as Zhang Yu’s figure disappeared, his eyes cool, his thoughts unreadable.

With Zhang Yu’s interruption, Yang Gang and Catherine no longer chatted happily. After some idle back-and-forth, Catherine seemed to have other things, and they said goodbye.

After bidding farewell to Catherine, Yang Gang walked alone on the street, his gaze distant.

What Zhang Yu had said in the coffee shop with Catherine was clearly meant for him to hear.

At that moment, he felt a latent malice in Zhang Yu.

Very unfamiliar.

Yang Gang suddenly realized that, although he had been a friend with Zhang Yu for many years, he didn’t truly know him well.

Little Qi was right, Zhang Yu had a strong malicious air. It wasn’t because of the breakup with Gu Xiaorou, it had always been there.

"What are Sister Miao and Zhang Yu hiding?"

Just as he was deep in thought, an argument broke out in front of him.

"Xie Guangwen, please, leave us mother and daughter alone." A middle-aged woman’s voice rang out.

"Shut up!" A middle-aged man said impatiently.

"You can’t talk to my mom like that!" A young girl’s voice rang out.

Yang Gang heard the voice, froze for a moment, and then looked up.

There were three people standing ahead.

A man in his forties, very much like those fat and wealthy characters in TV dramas who keep mistresses outside. Yang Gang wondered, were those TV characters modeled after him?

A woman also in her forties, a beautiful woman nonetheless. But, despite her enduring beauty, there was a tiredness in her brows.

Then there was the girl of about twenty. It was Shen Jing!

Xie Guangwen, the man, sneered: "What? All grown up now, thinking you’re self-sufficient? Remember, if it weren’t for all these years of me providing for you, you and your mother would’ve been on the streets. Shouldn’t you speak to me with gratitude?"

"You!" Shen Jing was enraged.

"Alright, Shen Jing, don’t bicker with your father." The middle-aged woman said soberly, her expression downcast. If not for the belief that she had to live for her daughter, she might have already collapsed emotionally.

It has been over twenty years now. She had struggled through all these years under the shadow of that man. She dared not reminisce, fearing to drown in past torments.

"Shen Yun, how many times do I need to tell you this? Shen Jing is a Shen, I’m Xie, I’m not her father, only her wallet. I’ve spent quite a lot on her, from raising her to sending her to college. Is it not time for her to repay me?" Xie Guangwen snickered.

Shen Yun put Shen Jing behind her, eyes alert as she faced Xie Guangwen, "Xie Guangwen, what are you planning to do to our daughter?"

Xie Guangwen smirked, "I merely want Shen Jing to have a good future. To tell you the truth, the young master of the Tianci Restaurant in Hangcheng has taken a fancy to Shen Jing. That’s her fortune."

"Bah!" Shen Yun glared at Xie Guangwen, "That Chen Hao, he’s nothing but a spoilt brat, and you want Shen Jing to marry such a piece of trash? Xie Guangwen, don’t go too far. No matter what, Shen Jing is your daughter too. What kind of father treats his daughter this way?"

Xie Guangwen shrugged, "Who knows if she’s my daughter."

"You!" Shen Yun’s face turned red with rage.

At this moment, Yang Gang walked over.

Seeing Yang Gang, Shen Jing was in a daze and didn’t respond.

Yang Gang looked at Shen Jing’s tear-streaked face, feeling a pang of hurt. Since coming to Hangcheng, she had always been by his side whenever he was down.

Although Yang Gang didn’t have the same intense feelings for Shen Jing as he did for Gu Xiaorou, he couldn’t allow anyone to hurt his close female friend this way.

Yang Gang went over to Shen Jing, gently wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

This made everyone present stunned.

Shen Jing stared at Yang Gang, her cheeks turned slightly red as she looked down in embarrassment.

Seeing her daughter’s expression, Shen Yun understood something.

"This girl Jingjing..."

Xie Guangwen noticed this, tried rudely to grab Shen Jing’s hand but was softly swatted away by Yang Gang.

"Uncle, did you take money from that Chen Hao?" Yang Gang took Shen Jing’s hand, protecting her behind him.

"Hmph! None of your business!" Xie Guangwen retorted.

"Well... If you need money, just name your price. I lack many things, but not money." Yang Gang said calmly.

"Just a kid showing off." Xie Guangwen muttered.

Yang Gang sighed, turned his head to Shen Jing, "Shen Jing, tell him, who am I?"

Shen Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "He is the heir to one of the Top Ten families of Hangcheng, the Yang family."

Cough, cough!

Xie Guangwen was taken aback, staring at Yang Gang in disbelief.

But then his expression quickly changed to a fawning one, "Oh, so it’s Young Master Yang, I apologize for my rudeness."

Yang Gang waved him off, "You don’t have to do that. Just tell me, how much will it take for you to leave the mother and daughter alone?"

"O-one, one hundred million." Xie Guangwen ventured.

"Xie Guangwen, don’t be greedy!" Shen Yun trembled in anger.

Yang Gang dismissed her with a wave of his hand, smiling at Xie Guangwen. "One hundred million is no big deal for me, but could you lean in a bit, Uncle? There’s something I can’t really say out loud."
