Chapter 719

As Liang Yuan returned, Li Xiangyang and the others quickly stood up and greeted him.

“Mr. Liang, you’re back p>

“Good evening, Mr. Liang p>

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and saw Yang Youwei and Yang Mei cooking not far away, not gathered in the yard here.

Liang Yuan glanced at the people kneeling on the ground; they were some unfamiliar faces.

He didn’t ask much, just said, “You guys carry on, don’t mind me p>

Li Xiangyang hesitated to speak but ultimately remained silent.

Then, from the other side came some screams and questioning voices.

Liang Yuan didn’t inquire and went to Yang Mei’s side.

Yang Youwei was warming himself by the stove, with a few sweet potatoes on it.

Yang Mei was preparing to cook on the side; her ingredients were evidently ready, just waiting for Liang Yuan to start cooking.

“Little brother, you rest a bit, I’ll cook now p>

She looked gently at Liang Yuan, her face showing a hint of joy.

Although she had lost her mother, seeing her father still alive and now being able to sit and eat together made her quite happy.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, “Just in time, I have some wine here, Uncle Yang, would you like some p>

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Moutai from the inventory.

This Moutai wasn’t won by a lottery but found during a raid on a building.

He wasn’t a fan of drinking, though he had a good alcohol tolerance before the great flood because he trained it by frequently traveling and drinking with clients.

After the flood, with danger lurking everywhere, he naturally wouldn’t get drunk.

However, with his strong spiritual power now, ordinary alcohol could no longer numb his nerves.

Seeing the Moutai, Yang Youwei instinctively looked over with a touch of sentiment on his face.

“You actually have wine; after the great flood, I drank all the few bottles of Sea Blue left at home p>

As he spoke, he took the bottle and smiled, “It’s actually Moutai p>

He looked around, found two small bowls on the ground, and filled them.

Handing one small bowl to Liang Yuan, he raised his glass and said, “Xiaoliang, Meizi told me everything; this glass is in your honor, thank you for saving her from that beast Li Zhiqiang p>

With that, he raised his head and downed the glass of wine.

It seemed he drank too hastily and immediately coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Yang Mei, who was cooking, quickly said, “Dad, drink slowly p>

Yang Youwei ignored his daughter, poured another glass, and with red eyes, said, “This glass is still for you; not only did you save my daughter, but you’ve also been so kind to her. You’ve stuck by her side, brought her to Yangshan, and then to Meishan to find me. I know the hardship you went through can’t be adequately expressed in words p>

As he spoke, he downed another glass.

Then he poured himself another glass and said, “This glass is to thank you for avenging me by killing Li Kuirong and his gang. I’m a useless person; I know on my own, I probably couldn’t have avenged or killed those beasts in this lifetime, so I’m really grateful to you p>

As he said this, tears flowed down his face.

Since his wife went missing, he hadn’t slept well, having nightmares every night, imagining her suffering somewhere.

He also knew that the likelihood of his wife being alive was slim, but he still wanted to go out and find her.

Everyone said he was crazy, insane, but what else could he do?

Besides desperately searching for his wife, he couldn’t do anything else; he just wanted to do something to alleviate his inner guilt.

Now, the reappearance of his daughter Yang Mei brought new hope to his life.

At least, he still had family in this world.

So his gratitude to Liang Yuan was truly from the heart.

In those three glasses of wine, he thanked Liang Yuan for the effort he put in for his daughter Yang Mei, thanked him for avenging him, but forgot to thank him for saving his own life.

It wasn’t that he forgot, but he subconsciously felt that his own old life was no longer important.

He hadn’t considered this matter for the moment.

Maybe if his daughter Yang Mei hadn’t appeared, he would’ve wanted to end his life once Li Kuirong was dead.

Seeing the tearful Yang Youwei, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

What happened to Yang Youwei during this great flood disaster was truly too much.

Liang Yuan raised his glass, drank it all, and said, “Uncle Yang, you don’t need to be so polite with me. Sister Mei is my woman now, her matters are mine p>

“With me here, I’ll take care of all her difficulties and troubles p>

“Don’t be so discouraged. Yang Mei still needs you, and we have a setup in Yangshan that needs trustworthy people to help p>

“Please don’t overthink, take good care of your health. When Yang Mei has a child, you’ll need to help with the child p>

When Yang Youwei heard the mention of a child, he suddenly looked up at Liang Yuan, both surprised and happy, and said, “You… Are you planning to have a child p>

Liang Yuan smiled and said, “Of course p>

“In the current environment, having a child… wouldn’t it be too unsafe?” Although Yang Youwei was happy, he couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan smiled confidently, “It might be unsafe outside, but at least within the range of Yangshan and Meishan, I can guarantee their absolute safety p>

Looking at the confident Liang Yuan, Yang Youwei paused for a moment.

He suddenly smiled, feeling genuinely happy for his daughter’s choice in a partner.

The world has changed; in the chaos without order, only family is truly trustworthy.
