Chapter 784: She Had Love and Friendship
Yang Heng’s mother secretly used the extension telephone and heard a lady who called so she told her husband. She was afraid that a young lady calling her son at this time of the night… might be a sign of a romantic relationship.
Director Yang laughed and scolded Yang Heng when he heard his son’s reply, “Young brat, if you know the other person’s amazing, you should learn from her. I heard from your aunt that she did a university entrance examination mock test before she entered school. Her results were more than ten points higher than the admission criteria for undergraduates.”
Good students could play with good students. Even if their gender was different, their parents would be at ease.
“So outstanding? Hengheng[1], next week is your birthday, right? Your dad and I feel that since it’s your 18th birthday and you’re becoming an adult, we should celebrate it. Why not make it a big event? Let’s have a birthday celebration at your grandma’s place. We can invite our relatives and your classmates.” Mother Yang was relieved after she knew that the lady who called was so outstanding. She even encouraged her son to invite the lady over to play.
After this reminder, Yang Heng felt that the idea was good too. He moved his shoulders and walked towards his room. “That sounds good. I’ll tell her about it tomorrow. Also, mom, don’t listen to my calls secretly. If I really want to get a girlfriend, I would have done it long ago.”
Director Yang’s family lived in a unit room given by the Transportation Bureau. It was around 120 square meters. There were three bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room. It was big enough for the family of three. Yang Heng walked to the door of his room and turned around. He looked at his mother, who had an awkward expression on her face, and smiled, revealing his straight and white teeth. “Your son is a popular figure in school. When I first went to school, I received a hundred love letters. Even if there weren’t a hundred, there were fifty. If I really had a lady I like, I would have made her my girlfriend already. Empress Mother, you won’t be able to stop it.”
“Brat, hurry up and go back to your room to sleep. Why do you keep teasing your mom?” Director Yang laughed and reprimanded his son.
After Yang Heng went back to his room, he said to his wife softly, “Our son is getting older. He doesn’t want us to know some things. You shouldn’t keep listening to his calls secretly.”
“Some of my colleagues who patrol the area told me that they saw my son entering an internet cafe. They also saw him in fights. However, he never tells us anything when he comes back. This means that he knows what he’s doing. As long as his results are good and he has his bottom line, you don’t have to care so much.”
“People’s temper is elastic. The more you suppress them, the higher they rebound. If you don’t care about him and just remind him appropriately, giving him time to settle down, you’ll yield twice the result with half the effort.”
There was a difference between family education too. Some families gave their child a good education, an instance being Director Yang. This allowed Yang Heng to know his grounds no matter what he did outside.
Some families’ education was bad. An instance would be Luo Ran. They only thought of resolving the problems using money but they never felt that Luo Ran needed to be reprimanded.
There were also parents who were so strict that in the house, they were like gods. Their children could only listen to them. If they didn’t, their parents would hit or scold him. As time went by, these children, who had been suppressed heavily, would rebel even stronger.
However, Ye Jian wasn’t able to experience any kind of love from her parents. After she hung up, she sat in the chair and maintained the same position for at least half an hour.
When she felt that the rain outside had gotten lighter, she moved her body. Then, she stood up with an intent gaze and walked to the window. She looked at the time repeatedly. If the flight didn’t get delayed, Xia Jinyuan would have gotten on the plane long ago.
When they were on an emergency mission, they would snatch the shortest and best route.
