Siheyuan: Domineering life

If people stay in one place for a long time, they will naturally feel aesthetic fatigue.

The same is true for Yang Jun.

It was actually very boring for him to stay at home every day and he also wanted to go out, but his identity prevented him from showing up in public. He was afraid of being recognized every time he went out. He was a public figure and had to maintain his image at all times, but what he cared least about was his image and he thought it was pretentious.

Therefore, he could only force himself to adapt to this environment.

I came to Mu Sheng's farm house to relax, and I had a very comfortable sleep tonight.

And that unknown Xiao Baicai, Yang Jun never asked her name from beginning to end. It’s not that Yang Jun wanted to be a scumbag, but he didn’t want to add more burden to his mind. One was after money, the other was after sex. They each got what they wanted, and there was no connection between them at the end. Isn’t that great?
Yang Jun got up very early. The scenery in the manor was nice, so he walked around the garden with his hands behind his back.

This manor was built by Mu Sheng at a huge expense. The scenery inside is in no way inferior to a four-star cultural scenic spot, with elegant pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, bridges and flowing water. The feng shui layout is entirely arranged according to the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, giving people a sense of staggered beauty, and you will never feel visual aesthetic fatigue no matter how you look at it.

There is a half-acre pond in the yard, in which there are more than ten kilograms of big koi. They swim around in the water, looking very comfortable.

Yang Jun squatted by the pond, smoking a cigarette and admiring the fish.

At this time, there were footsteps approaching, but Yang Jun did not look back.

Because Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu were right beside him, if it was a stranger, they would have stopped him. Now there was no movement, so it could only be one of their own. Yang Jun guessed that it could be Mu Sheng and the others.

Everyone got drunk last night and stayed here that night. I guess everyone is awake by now.

"Lao Yang."

A female voice came from behind.

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that it was Luo Yanhong.

"Lao Luo, why is it you?"

Luo Yanhong is in her fifties. Perhaps because of the unpleasant life she has had, she looks a little older than her actual age and gives people a feeling of tiredness.

She smiled slightly, then walked to the steps opposite Yang Jun and sat down.

"If it's not me, who else could it be, Qiu Shui?"

"You've been talking so much today that it's killing me." Yang Jun rolled his eyes.

"None of you men are good." Luo Yanhong suddenly said this.

"Have you taken a bullet today? I haven't offended you."

"Humph!"

Luo Yanhong snorted coldly, and then said: "You didn't offend me, but you are sorry for my best friend."

"If she knew you were sleeping with a woman here, what do you think she would think?"

Yang Jun: "..."

He decisively chose to keep silent. It was unwise to reason with a woman, especially about such things as women.

But there is no way, he just likes this. If he doesn't sleep with a woman for a day, it's like skipping a meal. In fact, immortality brings him not only the confusion of time, but also physical troubles. His body in his twenties is young and strong, and he has a particularly strong temper. He will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't think about that for a day.

Sometimes he really hopes that he can be born, grow old, get sick and die like ordinary people, so that he can experience the joy of natural growth.

But he couldn't do that. From the moment he traveled through time, he was destined to live in solitude for the rest of his life.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want from me?" Yang Jun changed the subject.

Yang Jun's shameless behavior naturally attracted Luo Yanhong's ridicule.

However, she did not continue to embarrass Yang Jun.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you something."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun made an expression of "as expected", then sat down on the steps, looking relaxed.

That means you come and ask me for help.

Yang Jun's action once again caused Luo Yanhong to roll her eyes, but this time she didn't say anything excessive. After all, she was just asking for help.

"Well...I want to divorce Lao Mu."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Didn't you two divorce four years ago?"

Yang Jun remembered that four years ago, he discovered that Old Mu was keeping a mistress. The two had a quarrel and even got into a fight. Mu Sheng accidentally pushed her and broke two ribs. She was hospitalized at the time. Later, they divorced and their only daughter lived with Luo Yanhong.

"Later... we got back together."

When Luo Yanhong said this, her eyes avoided and she seemed very embarrassed.

"hehe!"

After listening to it, Yang Jun felt it was more exciting than listening to a fairy tale.

Who was the one who cried and shouted for a divorce, saying that they would never see each other again in this life, and now it's only been a few years and they're back together?
Yang Jun had a cigarette in his mouth and was hugging his legs with his hands. He was looking at her with a teasing expression, as if to say, "Continue the performance."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm angry."

Luo Yan said with a red face.

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet, why are you angry?" Yang Jun had a wicked smile on his face.

"Mr. Yang, I don't know you yet. Although you didn't say it, you wanted to laugh in your heart."

"hehe!"

Yang Jun laughed twice, then said, "At first you asked me to be your witness and help you get divorced, but later you got remarried without telling me. You are throwing my face as the middleman on the ground."

"Now you're remarried and you want to divorce, and you think of me as the middleman again. Are you two teaming up to trample my face on me again?"

When Luo Yanhong heard this, her face turned red as an apple.

"It's true that we are sorry for this, but...it's not that we don't want to inform you, it's just that this matter is too embarrassing, so we didn't tell you."

"Then why are you saying it now?"

Yang Jun looked at her with strange eyes and asked, "You two have only been remarried for a few years and you want to divorce again. Do you really think marriage is a joke?"

After saying that, he suddenly said solemnly: "Even if you tell the truth, I won't care about this matter."

"But Lao Mu refuses to divorce, so I have no choice but to find you."

"Don't look for me, look for someone else if you want."

"You really don't care?"

"in spite of."

"So I'm going to use my ultimate move?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun looked at her with amusement, then turned around and looked at her seriously.

"Let it go. I'm waiting for your performance."

He still didn't believe that she had any special moves, so he wanted to see what special moves Luo Yanhong had.

Luo Yanhong looked at him with a smile on her face, pursed her lips, and then said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Qiu Shui about what happened last night?"

"Haha, this is what you call your ultimate move?"

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Please go ahead and see if she will be angry with me."

Yang Jun said that if this is all your ultimate move, he would not accompany you.

Yi Qiu Shui can allow a number of concubines into the house, so does she still care how many women Yang Jun has outside?

It's not like Yi Qiu Shui didn't know that he had a mistress outside, she just pretended not to know. She couldn't control Yang Jun anymore. She just hoped that her son could take over the family business safely, and she didn't want to care about anything else.

Especially at her age, and having reached menopause, even if she took good care of herself, she didn't think she could attract Yang Jun. The only thing she could do was to be more generous and stop caring about Yang Jun's affairs, so that Yang Jun would not hate her.

In fact, Yi Qiu Shui also knew that Yang Jun was not as dependent on her as she imagined. What he needed was a seemingly complete family with a wife and children at home to support him, and he could do whatever he needed to do outside without interfering with either of them.

"Haha, I knew this trick wouldn't work." Luo Yanhong suddenly laughed.

After a slight pause, he continued, "Old Yang, just help me. I promise I won't bother you next time."

"Lao Mu listens to you the most. As long as you say something, he will definitely agree to divorce me."

Yang Jun listened and shook his head.

"Lao Luo, I can't help you with this matter."

After a slight pause, he said meaningfully, "You've lived to such an old age, why are you still so pessimistic about everything?"

"Divorce is nothing more than a matter of a piece of paper. Why do you care about the form?"

"If you don't have him in your heart anymore, you won't care about anything else."

"But..." Luo Yanhong was about to speak when she was interrupted by Yang Jun.

"You have your reasons for wanting a divorce, and Lao Mu has his reasons for not wanting to divorce. Since neither of you is willing to take a step back, why should I, an outsider, get involved?"

Yang Jun continued: "You two should solve your own problems."

After hearing this, Luo Yanhong stopped talking and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about.

After a long while, he looked up and said, "This life is so frustrating."

Yang Jun felt relieved when he saw that she no longer asked him for help.

But as a friend, he has an obligation to care about each other.

"Or is it because of his keeping a woman?"

It would have been fine if this matter had not been mentioned. As soon as it was mentioned, Luo Yanhong's expression immediately changed.

"Hmph, men are not good at all."

"Fuck, I got caught again."

When Yang Jun heard this, his face immediately fell.

"Is not it?"

Maybe because Yang Jun didn't help him, Luo Yanhong was relentless and launched a fierce fire attack on him.

"You don't even avoid Qiu Shui when you raise a woman now. Are you doing her justice?"

"The chat is over."

Yang Jun patted his butt, stood up, and turned away decisively.

It's boring to keep talking about this. His wife didn't say anything, so you, an outsider, are talking about it. He doesn't bother to listen to other people's preaching.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, don't leave."

Luo Yanhong's wild laughter came from behind.

Yang Jun quickened his pace and left.

When I was walking through the corridor and preparing to go to the restaurant for dinner, I met Mu Sheng who suddenly appeared at the corner.

"Damn it, why are you here to scare me?" Yang Jun cursed.

Even Sun Zhaocai and Shazhu behind him subconsciously took out their weapons, but when they saw it was Mu Sheng, they put them down.

"Hey, Lao Yang, I'm sorry."

Mu Sheng touched Yang Jun's chest with his hand, but he was pushed aside by him.

"You are following me?" Yang Jun looked at him sternly.

He guessed that the guy had been hiding here for a long time. Maybe he had already come when he was chatting with Luo Yanhong just now.

"track?"

Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is it necessary to follow me? Don't you know me well enough? If I really follow you, can you find out?"

He was not bragging. With his reputation as a military king, if he really wanted to follow someone, no one would notice.

Since it is not tracking, the only option left is the last one.

"Do you want to eavesdrop on my conversation with your wife?" Yang Jun looked at him with a squinting look on his face.

"Old Yang, what are you talking about? Why do you sound so... ambiguous?"

Mu Sheng looked at him as if he was constipated.

"Hmph, don't interrupt. Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with your wife?"

"Okay, I admit that I eavesdropped." Mu Sheng said, "But, I couldn't hear it from such a long distance."

"You have a dirty heart." Yang Jun said with a straight face.

"That's not true, Lao Yang. Let me explain this to you in detail."

After saying that, he held Yang Jun's shoulder and walked towards the restaurant.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter had already prepared breakfast.

However, Wang Erwa and his group had not gotten up yet, so only Yang Jun and Mu Sheng were left.

After breakfast was served, Mu Sheng asked all the waiters to leave.

After they left, the two ate and chatted.

"Hey!"

Mu Sheng suddenly sighed, and then said: "Lao Yang, we are brothers, there are some things I am not afraid to tell you, I..."

Mu Sheng pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"I have lost my ability to have children."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed and said,
“I thought it was a small matter.”

After a slight pause, he continued, "Will it not interfere with your activities?"

Hearing this, Mu Sheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Old Yang, be serious. Can you have a little sympathy for me?"

"Oh, so this is why you don't want to divorce?" Yang Jun.

"Yes." Mu Sheng nodded.

"After my divorce, I dated many women, but none of them could conceive my baby. Later, I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that I had lost my sexual ability..."

Yang Jun did not interrupt, but listened to him while eating breakfast.

"Old Yang, you know that I only have one daughter, Xiao Meng. She is the only flesh and blood of my Mu family. I am counting on her to inherit the family line in the future. I cannot live without Xiao Meng no matter what."

Yang Jun spoke at this time.

"It's not that you can't get a divorce, it's that you can't live without Xiao Meng, am I right?"

"Yes." Mu Sheng readily admitted. After a slight pause, he continued, "The disagreement between us is about the custody of the child. If she is willing to give up the custody of the child, I can agree to anything she wants."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun sighed deeply. He felt sympathy for Mu Sheng's situation, but also understood why he did this.

A man works so hard to climb up the social ladder outside, isn't it all for the sake of his children? Now his only hope is Xiao Meng, so how could he give up the custody?

But Luo Yanhong is also willing to give up custody. The child was with her when they divorced for the first time. If they divorce again this time, the child will still be with her.

Luo Yanhong is just too noble and too proud. She can't accept that Mu Sheng has a woman outside, so their relationship has come to this point today.

Now the relationship between the two is at a stalemate, and neither of them can give in. (End of this chapter)
