Chapter 499: Chapter 246: This is too over-the-top!
Leaning against Luo Fei’s chest, Yang Mei did not rush to break free; instead, she indulged in the stability of his embrace.
No matter what, she was most relaxed at this moment.
Luo Fei had been busy with work before, and they hadn’t spent much time together. Now that he was here, they could talk and accompany each other for a while.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, such opportunities were rare...
"How about we move to my bedroom?"
"Mm, okay."
Luo Fei agreed. Although there was nothing inappropriate with them embracing in the living room, it would be awkward if guests suddenly visited.
Inside the room, Yang Mei leaned directly against Luo Fei. In her own space, holding her boyfriend felt comfortable indeed.
In the kitchen, where Yang Tianyong was cooking, he coughed a couple of times.
"Have you seen enough? Come over and help; this dish is beyond me."
"You little rascal, keep your voice down."
Zhao Yulan, who had been listening with her ear to the kitchen wall, laughed as she approached and stood beside him.
"The two kids went inside. Ah, they’re truly a match made in heaven."
"You see, our Yang Mei, her temperament, personality, looks, everything is good. Such a daughter is surely wonderful."
"And she found such an excellent young man, even better! Hahaha."
"Young and promising, humble and courteous, reliable at work, with a good character, ah... truly wonderful."
Watching Zhao Yulan’s expression, Yang Tianyong shook his head helplessly.
"It’s just unfortunate that this young couple can’t be together."
"If only our Yang Mei could work in the city soon, they would have more time and space together."
Hearing Zhao Yulan’s sentiment, a change came over Yang Tianyong’s eyes.
"Speaking of this issue, I have to say a few words to you."
"Stop making things difficult for Donglai; he’s busy enough as a team leader. It would be fine if he gets promoted smoothly next year. Stop pushing him."
Zhao Yulan’s expression changed immediately.
"You really sympathize with your brother-in-law; he hardly gets anything done all day and got transferred to the city thanks to Luo Fei’s achievements."
"Your daughter has enough qualifications; giving her a hand is a small favor. If her uncle doesn’t care, who will?"
After Zhao Yulan’s tirade, Yang Tianyong was speechless and could only let her have her way.
After all, she was the one in charge at home!
Not long after, there was a knock at the door; Zhao Donglai had arrived.
Luo Fei and the others went out to help entertain the guests. While they officially had a superior-subordinate relationship at work, at home, there wasn’t much talk about it.
Soon, dinner was ready, but at this moment, Yang Mei’s second uncle and cousin arrived late.
"Ah, Uncle, Aunt, I’m really sorry, got stuck in traffic and we’re late."
Yang Xiao began with an imposing tone, smiling with a hint of smugness.
It didn’t seem like he felt any guilt for being late, rather there was a haughty attitude about him.
"It’s all this kid’s fault, insisted on switching cars, so we got delayed."
The second uncle chimed in to smooth things over.
It seemed like he was helping to explain, but was actually taking the opportunity to show off.
Luo Fei finally understood why Zhao Donglai had warned him beforehand; this second uncle and cousin were obviously not easy to deal with. Exchanging a glance, both he and Zhao Donglai understood the situation.
"Alright then, you’re just in time, not late, not late, come in and have a seat."
Yang Mei took the opportunity to introduce Luo Fei, facilitating mutual acquaintance.
The second uncle was named Yang Tianzhi, and the cousin was named Yang Xiao.
It was obvious they had been scrutinizing Luo Fei since he entered, as if assessing a rival.
Yang Tianyong invited them to the table, and the second uncle and cousin immediately focused on Luo Fei.
This was indeed their main target for this meal.
In terms of status and background, they couldn’t compare with Yang Tianyong’s family. The eldest brother had long dominated, an undisputed fact.
So comparing the next generation became very necessary!
The cousin’s status, being an only child of the second uncle, naturally needed some flaunting. This family dinner was essentially a platform for them to exploit the situation.
Luo Fei, as Yang Mei’s boyfriend, was a significant status that spoke volumes.
As they say, a son-in-law is like half a son, making things equivalent!
Having Luo Fei there for comparison naturally highlighted the cousin’s capabilities.
After everyone was seated, Yang Tianyong, as the host, rose to propose a toast, and everyone joined in enthusiastically.
After a toast, Yang Xiao was the first to express concern.
"Uncle, Aunt, how have you been recently?"
"All is well, although we’re getting older, thankfully, the children are all considerate."
Yang Tianzhi immediately chimed in.
"Indeed, ah, having considerate children is better than anything else. Isn’t Yang Xiao recently working on a new project? He’s been constantly on the go, hardly any free time, and I keep telling him that."
"But this kid insists that a brave man roams the world, constantly striving outside. This child... hehe."
Anyone could see it was pure bragging.
And quite boldly, too!
"Uncle, I just returned from a business trip. The project I’m handling requires the introduction of new technology, and their project’s director insisted on gifting me something."
"A fine Hetian jade carving, Uncle, you’re an expert, have a look."
Yang Tianyong smiled as he accepted it and took a look.
He indeed had a bit of an interest in this area, and it turned out they came prepared today.
