Chapter 807: Hate Ladies That Like To Seek The Limelight
“I’m Yang Heng’s father. I’m very happy that you’re here for Yang Heng’s 18th birthday celebration…” Father Yang was a Director-General so when he spoke, there was modulation in his tone. He had the aura of a leader as well as a kind father.
During Father Yang’s speech, Yang Heng’s mother asked his son softly, “Which one is Ye Jian? Point her out to mom.”
“She’s at the back. She doesn’t really like to seek the limelight. She has a quiet nature. I will introduce her to you later.” Yang Heng laughed when he noticed that his mother still wanted to see Ye Jian. “There’s no relations.h.i.+p between us. We just have common topics. Don’t misunderstand.”
Mother Yang pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she said calmly, “With Yao Jing around, you won’t have a chance to date someone so early.”
“You’re right.” Yang Heng smiled. He knew that Yao Jing had infuriated his mother so he coaxed her softly, “Don’t bother about her. You can just mention it to Uncle Yao later.”
Mother Yang’s smile was still on her face but her tone had turned indifferent. “Your Uncle Yao and his family might be happy to see this. Just now, during the dinner, they intentionally revealed that you are close with their daughter and have a good relations.h.i.+p with her.”
“Why are you angry? If a guy says this, they will say that he’s flirtatious. If a lady says it, we can only say that she doesn’t respect herself. I’m not close to Yao Jing. As time goes by, the ones that take special notice of our family will be able to see it naturally.” Mother Yang came from a family of scholars so she emphasized more on manners. Thus, she didn’t like it when Yao Jing took the spotlight of the host.
During Junior High, Yao Jing forced a female student to transfer school. One of the rumors was that it had something to do with Yang Heng. At that time, Mother Yang secretly investigated the issue and found that female student. She knew that it indeed had something to do with Yao Jing.
The female student was organizing a ceremony for the school along with Yang Heng so they had more interactions. Because of this, Yao Jing hated her.
From then on, Mother Yang’s had an opinion of Yao Jing. She reminded Yang Heng to maintain his distance from Yao Jing. At the same time, they moved away to prevent rumors.
The Yang family didn’t express their att.i.tude clearly so the Yao family didn’t think deeply. They continued interacting with each other normally, thinking that if they have a good relations.h.i.+p with each other, their children would have a good relations.h.i.+p too.
The mother and son spoke softly to each other. As for Director Yang, he didn’t speak too long. He just took around two minutes before pa.s.sing the limelight to Mother Yang.
Mother Yang was a gentle lady. She spoke very clearly just like a broadcaster. Her speech was simple and happy, “Just have fun today. After you turn 18 years old, you’re an adult. Parents like us can’t treat you like a child anymore. Have fun today. If you need anything, you can always look for me or the staff.”
The outright att.i.tude of the parents allowed the students to relax. By the time it was Yang Heng’s turn to speak, he was even more direct. “Eat well, drink well, and sleep well later.”
“Also, those students that want to play darts with Ye Jian, remember to eat more. That way, you will have the energy to battle with her!”
The smile on Yao Jing’s face got brighter. So Ye Jian was called over to play darts with the seniors. Yang Heng didn’t invite her specially.
Hmph, this is much better! If not, she will definitely tell Auntie Song about this tonight and let Ye Jian and him suffer.
The buffet was a relaxing way of eating. The people ate and watched the programs the third year students prepared. Yang Heng’s birthday party wasn’t high profile but people liked it because it was extremely lively.
