55: Chapter 55 Paranoia 55: Chapter 55 Paranoia Gao Yang’s mother hurriedly entered the kitchen, but she quickly came out again and said to Gao Yang and his father, “You two have a chat first.

I’m going to buy some meat and vegetables and will be back soon.

Old Gao, keep an eye on Yangyang, don’t let him run around.”

After that, Gao Yang’s mother took some money from the bedroom and came out.

Gao Yang, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed that his mother was clasping a handful of small change in her hand, mostly one yuan and quite a few fifty-cent pieces.

The Gao family was in decent financial shape.

His father had worked hard for most of his life and they had at least one million in savings, plus a house of over one hundred and fifty square meters and assets in the factory.

All together, it must be worth at least five million.

Being a millionaire might not be that special nowadays, but still, that did qualify as being rich.

Remembering that the big house had already been sold, Gao Yang didn’t need anyone to tell him what had happened.

He stood up from the sofa and said softly, “Dad, Mom, you’ve had a hard time.”

Gao Yang’s father laughed and said, “As long as you’ve come back, that’s all that matters.

Everything else is trivial; it’s nothing.

I’m not old yet.

I can just keep going.

Now that you’re back too, we can work hard together.

In a few years, our family’s days will get better again.

Son, don’t worry about anything.

Let’s just celebrate properly today.”

Gao Yang nodded and then pulled out a wad of brightly colored bills from his pocket and placed them on the coffee table.

The red ones were Chinese yuan and the green ones were US dollars.

“Dad, Mom, I haven’t been able to come back for several years, but just before I returned, I made a good deal.

Now we have money, several hundred thousand.

You don’t need to worry.

Our life will get better soon.

And don’t be afraid, this money comes from a clean source.

It won’t weigh on our conscience.

When we have time, I’ll tell you how I got it.

For now, let’s enjoy a good meal,” Gao Yang said.

Gao Yang’s mother nodded again and again, saying, “Good, good, Yangyang is capable.

I’ve always known that.

I believe you.

Our life won’t remain down for long.

I’m going to buy groceries right now, right away.”

Although Gao Yang’s mother talked about buying groceries, she didn’t move her feet, and her eyes didn’t leave Gao Yang for a moment.

Having just seen her son, she couldn’t bear to leave him even for a step, yet she was eager to cook for Gao Yang, showing a clear conflict of emotions.

Gao Yang smiled, grabbed a handful of the money, and said, “Mom, I’ll go buy groceries with you.

Let Dad prepare the dough at home.

When we come back, we can make dumplings.”

Gao Yang’s suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by his parents.

Then, Gao Yang and his mother hurried to the market and quickly bought cabbage and meat before rushing home to make Gao Yang’s favorite pork and cabbage dumplings.

Throughout the grocery shopping, Gao Yang’s mother never let go of his hand.

Once they brought the groceries home, Gao Yang’s mother immediately started chopping the filling, and Gao Yang’s father began making the dough.

Gao Yang, who didn’t know much about cooking, just helped out while seizing the opportunity to talk about how he had survived the past three years.

As the three of them talked and made dumplings, by the time they sat down to eat the steaming dumplings, Gao Yang just finished telling how he had saved Morgan and his son.

Of course, Gao Yang would never mention the fighting and killing.

He only said that he happened to save Morgan and his son, who, out of gratitude, gave him a large sum of money and helped him return home.

And Gao Yang also learned why his parents had moved into the old house.

Gao Yang’s plane crashed in Ethiopia, and soon after the crash, rescue workers found the wreckage and most of the bodies on board, which were largely disfigured.

Gao Yang was the only one missing, but the rescuers concluded that no one could have survived.

Ethiopia refused to continue
