Yang Haoran felt a surge of joy in his heart. Seeing that there was still time and unwilling to wait until after class to ask, he said a word to his girlfriend, Ji Youxi, then walked past Yaoyaoโs seat. He glanced back at her before exiting the classroom.
He knew that Yaoyao would undoubtedly understand his meaning.
Outside in the hallway, Yang Haoran stood waiting for just over ten seconds before a graceful figure emerged behind him.
Without saying a word, Yang Haoran headed down the stairs alone. Yaoyao followed behind him. The siblings moved through the crowd and arrived at a secluded corner of the school.
As soon as they arrived, Yang Haoran could no longer restrain the urgency in his heart. He turned to Yaoyao and asked, โYaoyao, where is Mom right now?โ
โBrother, please donโt ask. Mom told me not to say.โ Yang Mengyao pressed her lips together and shook her head.
Her response made Yang Haoran fall silent for a moment. โDid Mom say something to you when she took you away last night?โ he asked.
He knew that if Mom hadnโt warned Yaoyao, there was no way she would hide anything from him.
โMhmm!โ Yang Mengyao nodded. โMom took my phone and told me not to have any more contact with you. I refused, and then Mom saidโฆโ She paused here, feeling it was better not to tell her brother, and changed her words: โI told Mom that I knew about her relationship with you, Brother, and that I am willing tooโjust like with MomโI want to become your sex slave. Mom didnโt agree.โ
Yang Haoran frowned. He had guessed that Mom wouldnโt agree, but this little girl wouldnโt give in so easily. Mom must have warned Yaoyao about something, making her too afraid to disobey.
โDid Mom mention me?โ Yang Haoran set the matter aside for the moment and looked at Yaoyao with hope.
Yang Mengyao bit her lip and shook her head.
Seeing this, Yang Haoran felt a bitterness in his heart, along with a sense of reluctance to accept it. โDid Mom say when she would be coming home?โ
Yang Mengyao felt conflicted, unsure whether she should tell her brother about Momโs decision. For him, it would be nothing less than a bolt from the blue!
โYaoyao, no matter what Mom told you, you need to remember that I am your brother.โ Seeing that Yaoyao remained silent, Yang Haoran grew anxious.
Worried that her brother would get angry, Yang Mengyao gritted her teeth and spoke quickly: โMom plans to wait until the end of this semester, then take me away from G City. She didnโt tell me where weโre going.โ
Yang Haoran was stunned. Even within the vast crowds of G City, if they truly left this city, given Momโs temperament, it was hard to say whether the two of them would ever see each other again in this lifetime.
โWaitโฆ Yaoyao, didnโt you try to persuade Mom at all? Even if she doesnโt want to see me, she doesnโt have to leave the city. The headquarters of Momโs company is still here, isnโt it?โ Unwilling to give up, Yang Haoran pressed Yaoyao further.
Having already revealed this much, and aside from Momโs warning, Yang Mengyao had no intention of hiding anything else from her brother. She replied, โMom plans to let professional managers run the company. I even suspect that Mom might not just be thinking of leaving G Cityโshe might be planning to go abroad.โ
โWhat?โ Yang Haoran was truly dumbfounded this time. Going abroad? Mom, how could you be so cruel? Arenโt you willing to give me one more chance?
With only two weeks left until the end of the semester, and final exams happening next week, Yang Haoran suddenly felt that time had never been so pressing. These two weeks were his only chance to win Mom back.
Thinking about it carefully, Yang Haoran even felt a sense of relief. If the semester werenโt ending in just two weeks, Mom might have taken Yaoyao and left today.
Two weeks seemed like a long time, but Yang Haoran had no confidence at all. He didnโt even know where Mom was right now.
Even if he forced Yaoyao to tell him and went to find her, Yang Haoran knew this wasnโt like before. It wasnโt a matter of just kneeling down or enduring a beating to make Mom change her mind.
It wasnโt that simple. If it were, yesterday at the pet manor, Mom would have picked up the whip instead of saying nothing and simply leaving with Yaoyao.
Yang Haoran racked his brains for a way to break the deadlock. Yang Mengyao watched her brother frowning in thought, her heart aching with pain and reluctance.
She truly didnโt want to leave her brother, but Momโs warning was still vivid in her mind. The consequences were something she couldnโt bear, and something her brother couldnโt accept either.
If she stubbornly insisted on her own way, she feared her brother would hate her for the rest of his life.
Brotherโฆ Iโm sorry! Yang Mengyao whispered in her heart, filled with guilt, reluctance, helplessness, and sorrowโฆ
Yang Haoranโs mind raced at high speed, and his reasoning grew clearer. If there was a way to make Mom change her mind, there was one and only oneโAunt Shenโs plan!
Thinking of this, Yang Haoran felt a sense of relief, but also a heavy burden. He didnโt know if there would be enough time. Aunt Shen, you need to move faster!
Sometimes, Yang Haoran truly felt that the reason he had gained Aunt Shenโs favor was simply due to timing, location, and personal connections.
Fortunately, he was Momโs son. Fortunately, Mom and Aunt Shen were best friends. Fortunately, Aunt Shen had watched him grow up. Fortunately, Aunt Shen wasโฆ a person with particular tastesโฆ
Yang Haoran wasnโt meaning to undervalue himself. It wasnโt that he couldnโt think of a method himself; it was just that the method he could think of was precisely Aunt Shenโs method. The path he could envision had already been paved for him by someone else.
This,ไธๅพไธๆฟ่ฎค (bรนdรฉ bรน chรฉngrรจn),ไธๅพไธๆฟ่ฎค (had to admit), filled Yang Haoran with immense pride. No matter how useless he was, at least Aunt Shen could carry someone as useless as him to victory.
He was just that shameless. Always had been!
Yang Haoran considered himself lucky. Leaving Mom aside, a woman like Aunt Shenโwith her looks, her figure, her intelligence and wisdomโwas someone he simply wasnโt worthy of touching. It was entirely because of Mom that he had this advantage of proximity, allowing him to reach the moon first.
And sometimes reality was just like that. It didnโt require you to be morally worthy of the position; you just needed to be a little lucky!
Having found a direction, Yang Haoran could only temporarily suppress his anxiety. After giving Yaoyao a few instructions, he told her to go back first.
Asking further questions would be meaningless, he knew. He could only pin his hopes on Aunt Shen acting quickly.
However, Yang Haoran didnโt plan to rely entirely on Aunt Shen. This concerned Mom, so he intended to prepare a backup plan. The difficulty of this contingency lay in making sure Mom found out, but not letting her find out prematurely. The sequence of events here absolutely could not be messed up.
Yang Haoran could only hope he wouldnโt have to use it. This was a measure of last resort, and its chance of successโฆ was left to fate!
After returning to the classroom, Yang Haoran attended classes as usual. When school ended at noon, he went off campus and bought a few things.
When school let out in the afternoon, Yang Haoran gave a small device to Yaoyao. He repeatedly urged and instructed her, only feeling relieved after she swore an oath.
It was a tracker, but more than just a tracker. Yang Haoran had gone to several stores before finding it.
Tomorrow was Tuesday. Yang Haoran had promised Xiao Shaowan that he would accompany her to visit her mother. Yang Haoran was determined not to let down his women anymore!
