Chapter 19
"Pan Rong is cheating on me." She cried with tears bursting out from her eyes. She couldn't face them with her shame at all. However, the only person she can come for emotional support is her younger sister; Cheung Lan-Er.
Although sometimes the two sisters would compete against each other for things when they were younger, however. They grew up together like twins, although they were only two years apart. Mother Yang bolt over to hold her sister as she cried in her arms.
Madam Pan calmed down and told them that her husband, Pan Rong had not returned home for two weeks, and when she called him. He would say to her, "I am busy with work." And so he would hang up and ignore her calls and messages.
Although, the history between the Yang Family and Pan Family had taken place many years ago; during the Song Dynasty period. There may be a grudge between the two families. However, they are indeed related through marriage by the Cheung Family.
If Pan Rong and Yang Tian-Xu's aunt are to get a divorce, it will make Grandfather Yang incredibly happy. However, it would still be wrong for them to ask Madam Pan to divorce her husband.
Mother Yang was incredibly angry that she made looks at both her husband and son, "You two better not copy that cheater Pan Rong!"
"My dear, how can you say that! Who do you think I am, I am Yang Fei-Hung!"? Father Yang stated. "I could never become someone like Pan Rong, who is a cheating b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Also, he is our Yang Family mortal enemy!"
The Yang Family and the Pan Family both carried a similar family history. The Pan Family was a high ranking military general and a statesman of the Song Dynasty, their ancestor at the time named, Pan Mei.
The Yang Family ancestor at the time named, Yang Chonggui, also known as Yang Ye. He
Yang Ye had a total of seven sons and two daughters, and he had a wife whom he loves dearly, his wife had to send her husband and her seven sons off to war without leaving a single man behind, and the woman and children stay back at home. With his loyalty to the imperial family, he and his seven sons fight against the threat of the Liao Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty spans from 960 to 1279. While the Yang Family was the first to help the song dynasty establish and spans from 950 to 1050.
In 986, it was a time of war against the Liao Dynasty, and it was that year that Yang Ye had died. At the time, Pan Mei's force was under attack by the enemy forces. Pan Mei was a man of words and no fist.
Pan Mei forced Yang Ye and his troops to resist, the more ma.s.sive armies of the Liao Dynasty. Pan Mei told Yang Ye that he should fight the enemy first, and he would send reinforcement after.
Without a word of complaint, he went ahead and led his armies to a b.l.o.o.d.y battle at Chenjiagu. However, the promised reinforcements never arrive. Yang Ye was captured by the Liao armies and Yang Ye starved himself to death.
The emperor later relegated pan Mei and was demoted by three rankings. Pan Mei hated the Yang Family because of how the emperor favours them. So he kept plotting against them.
When the war with the Liao Dynasty finally ended, and the Liao armies retreated. Many soldiers had returned home safely. However, only one of Yang Ye's seven sons had returned home. Still, they did not blame anyone and always remain true to their post in the imperial palace until they would be needed again.
The history between these two had been many generations ago. They can't be too pitied and still hate each other. However, with both family compet.i.tions against each other in the business tyc.o.o.n. They could only hate each other now.
Yang Tian-Xu does not hate Pan Rong. However, his father hated Pan Rong. After all, his father and Pan Rong are the same age, and they would often compete against each other while they were in their school days. His father cannot wait for his sister-in-law to cut off ties with the man. However, Madam Pan loves him sincerely, and so Father Yang could only dislike the man more and more.
The time was 11:00 PM, and after Madam Pan had vented out her anger and she cools down her emotions; she returned home. Mother and Father Yang was tired and went to bed. Yang Tian-Xu's parent never stays up so late anymore; tonight they stay up late because they want to console Madam Pan.
Yang Tian-Xu went to take a hot shower before he got out and changed into a comfortable s.h.i.+rt and sweatpants. He went on to his computer and stared at w.a.n.g Yi-An profile. He smiled to himself and thought about what if she was his wife. He will never cheat on her.
How can he be so sure of it? There has never been a woman in his life that has this much power over him. Since the first time he met her, she had always been on his mind.
"w.a.n.g Yi-An," he smiled and said out loud to himself in his room. "In this life, I can only love you." With her in his mind, he went to bed and quickly he fell asleep. Hoping so that he could see her again when tomorrow comes, he never expected to see her in his dream again.
The fantasy he had was a vivid one, which even Yang Tian-Xu himself cannot tell if it was real, or was it just a dream?
