Chapter 7 The relationship with the younger sister seems not good_1

Yang Gang wore a dubious expression, "Of course I had my doubts. How could a sunny, handsome guy like me have a twin sister? Look, whenever there are twins of opposite sex, their appearances tend to be androgynous... Eh? Dad, don't tell me my twin sister also looks manly?"

"Ahem!" Yang Lin almost died from anger.

"Yang Gang, let me tell you, my younger daughter is one of the four beauties of Haixing University, a true beauty. How could she look like a man!"

Yang Gang looked thoughtful, "Then that doesn't make sense. I am so ruggedly handsome, there's no reason my twin sister should be delicately beautiful. Genetic mutation? Or was there a mix-up at birth?"

Yang Lin was driven near to madness by Yang Gang.

"I can't communicate with you anymore. Later, I'll have the maid take you to your room." Yang Lin suddenly hesitated, then spoke earnestly, "You know, Yang Gang, why don't you go and see the old lady? She really adores you... uh…"

Yang Lin suddenly remembered his deceased biological son, a flash of pain crossing his brow.

Since his wife's death in a car accident twenty years ago, this was another close death, the poignant 'white hair person send off the black hair person.' Although his biological son was somewhat intellectually challenged, he was still his own flesh and blood. How could he not feel pain?

But he kept that pain to himself. He dared not let the old lady know the news of her most beloved grandson's death, fearing she couldn't handle the blow.

Yang Gang nodded.

Following Yang Lin's direction, Yang Gang arrived at a semi-independent small courtyard and saw from afar an old lady with white hair, sitting quietly in the yard with a middle-aged woman, dressed as a maid, standing beside her.

As Yang Gang approached, the maid whispered softly, "Old lady, the young master is back."

A look of joy suddenly appeared on the old lady's face. She stood up quickly and almost fell after taking a few hurried steps, prompting Yang Gang to quickly rush over to support her.

Yang Gang felt a bitter taste in his heart. Pretending to be her grandson in order to comfort her was a well-intentioned lie, but it was still deception at its core.

He composed himself and holding the old lady's hand, said, "Grandma, I am back."

...

In the southeastern hillside villa area of Hangcheng, built along the mountains, imposing and majestic. Here lies the Tong family's villa, where at the moment, a stunningly beautiful woman was shouting without any reserve, "What?! Yang Gang, that idiot, wants to call off our engagement, and he said... said I am the ugliest woman in the world?! I... I... Yang Gang! You wait for me! I... I... am so mad!"

That was Tong Jun's only daughter and Yang Gang's fiancée, Tong Xin.

Tong Xin, the same age as Yang Gang, was twenty, incredibly graceful and beautiful.

By birth, the Tong family was among the Top Ten Families of Hangcheng, truly a heiress of a wealthy family;

By beauty, she was one of the four beauties at Haixing University, a private and prestigious university—the kind that would be considered top-notch in all of Hangcheng.

For a beauty who could be considered the epitome from any angle, being called 'the ugliest woman in the world, bar none' by that well-known fool in their circle was something the proud Tong Xin couldn't swallow.

...

Yang's villa.

Yang Gang waited all evening but didn't catch a glimpse of his legendary twin sister, which baffled him. He couldn't help but ask Yang Lin, "Hey, dad, could it be that my relationship with this cheap sister of mine is really bad?"

"Ahem." Yang Lin had just taken a sip of hot coffee, almost choked by the question, and truly admired the shrewdness of his son, thinking to himself, "This bastard really is clever. I'll need to be wary in the future, as he might sell me out one day, and I'd be there counting the money for him."

Then he reconsidered, realizing that such thoughts were inappropriate. Yang Gang had just avenged him and incidentally made him a clean five million. Such pettiness was unworthy, truly unworthy.

After clearing his throat twice to control his emotions, Yang Lin finally said, "Gang, you're right. The two of you... well, it's like fire and water, completely incompatible."

Wow, it surely couldn't be that dramatic. Facing my handsome self, could there really be a woman in this world so incensed?

Narcissist.

"What happened?" Yang Gang asked, curious.

Yang Lin's face turned red before he said, "I heard it from Feifei, just the gist of it, not too sure about the specifics."

Yang Fei, that's Yang Gang's cheap twin sister.

"Feifei has a best friend named Xia Zihan, who is also one of the top four beauties at Haixing University. You, oh no, my deceased son, although engaged to Tong Xin from the Tong family, he has always been infatuated with Xia Zihan since childhood. The Xia family is the leading family among the Top Ten Families of Hangcheng, far superior to our trailing Yang family. Normally, for us to be related by marriage to the Xia family is already reaching high, not to mention my son's intelligence..."

Yang Lin paused, sighing lightly, "Knowing full well Xia Zihan could never like him, my son still stubbornly idolized the idea, constantly followed her after school and at the end of classes. To put it bluntly, it was a bit like an obsessive stalker. Feifei was extremely embarrassed by my son's behavior. She thought Xia Zihan would never fancy a fool and considered her twin brother's actions mere harassment of Xia Zihan. This often led to arguments and quarrels between them."

Yang Lin sipped his coffee, "That's the situation. Hearing you were coming back tonight, she went to stay at Xia Zihan's place. It's just something that happens frequently, you'll get used to it."

Yang Gang finally understood and did indeed sympathize with his lamented brother. Like a moth to a flame, why bother?

"So, that's it." Yang Gang didn't dwell on it and changed the subject, "By the way, dad, what are the main industries of our Yang family?"

Yang Lin's face reddened.

Yang Gang felt depressed. What was this? It seemed like it was hard for him to say.

"Ahem, we mainly focus on mining and entertainment," Yang Lin said.

How sharp Yang Gang was—he instantly understood, his face darkening slightly, "Dad, don't tell me it's coal mines and nightclubs, bars, and KTV?"

Yang Lin glared at Yang Gang, "So what if it is?"

"Nouveau riche, dabbling in gang activities and prostitution. Dad, can't we develop some high-end, sophisticated industries?" Yang Gang said.

Yang Lin bristled, "You think I don't want that? But the industrial layout of Hangcheng has already been established, with each of the Top Ten Families of Hangcheng focusing on different sectors. High-end industries are monopolized by the other nine families; there's no opportunity for the Yang family."

"But the structure of our industries carries a lot of risk. Coal prices have been falling in recent years, and many coal companies have gone bankrupt. Although nightclubs, bars, and KTVs are highly profitable, the risk is too great. If the national crackdown on prostitution and gang activities happens, we'll be the first ones hit. In fact, the government has already started taking action," Yang Gang said.

Yang Lin looked at Yang Gang in astonishment, impressed by his perspicacity.

He had to be careful, lest he inadvertently let the entire Yang family's industries fall into this guy's hands.
