” En , she called me. I already know. You should go back to what you are currently busy with Uncle Chen.” Yang Ming said.
“Okay, don’t think too much. You know Uncle Chen’s intention the best!” Chen Fei said, “Uncle Chen had always been looking after you!”
” Hehe , I understand.” Yang Ming smiled.
“That’s good. Uncle Chen will buy you a meal on another day!” Chen Fei said, “Let’s stop talking for now. I have just arrived at the police station.”
“Okay, see you again Uncle Chen!” Yang Ming hung up.
“Are you a.s.sured now?” Yang Ming shrugged and smiled at his mother who had been eavesdropping by the side.
“You little kid!” Mother Yang had a big red face as she walked away on her own. “Since there really was an issue, then let’s move on. You should dress up. It just so happens that your father and I are going to attend your big uncle’s banquet today.”
“Uncle?” Yang Ming was stunned. “He took the initiative to invite us over?”
In Yang Ming’s impression, his uncle was the kind of person who kept a distance from his relatives. Did the incident last time changed his att.i.tude?
” En , your uncle is treating us to a meal. Your father and I got a call last night. Since you were visiting Chen Mengyan’s home today, I didn’t tell you. Now that you’ve got nothing to do, just come along with us.” Mother Yang said.
“Sure, since the gift I bought for Yang Li hasn’t given to her yet.” Yang Ming nodded and said. I haven’t seen Yang Li since I came back from Hong Kong last time.
“Then you should go and get ready. Your father and I will also be ready in a short while.” Mother Yang instructed.
“Alright.” Yang Ming agreed.
The three people took a taxi to the villa area where his uncle lived. Today, the uncle was treating everyone in his home. This was the first time as it used to be in the hotel. The most annoying thing for the uncle last time was for the relatives to visit his home.
Perhaps it was because the last time when he was kidnapped, Yang Ming’s family had put in a lot of effort, so this time Yang Dashan didn’t make it difficult for them. He greeted them with great enthusiasm.
“Dahai, you guys are here? Come on in. Your sister-in-law is still preparing the meal so she won’t be able to come and greet you all.” Yang Dashan opened the door and spoke.
“Uncle.” Yang Ming acknowledged [1]. Although he had some prejudice against his uncle, for his parents’ sake, Yang Ming still showed him respect. Moreover, the performance of his uncle today wasn’t so annoying.
“Yang Ming, your cousin is upstairs. You can go and find her. Xiaobo and the rest will be arriving soon!” Yang Dashan said.
“Okay, I’ve brought her a gift too. I’ll go up first.” Yang Ming nodded.
” Hehe , you didn’t need to bring a gift! We’re after all a family, right?” Yang Dashan’s personality had indeed changed a lot. Why? It was mostly because of the previous kidnapping incident!
After a life or death experience, Yang Dashan was a lot more open. He was no longer repulsive toward his relatives. Even if Yang Ming’s family wanted to borrow some money from him, he wouldn’t object either. But what he didn’t know was that Yang Ming was now a lot richer than him.
Yang Ming went upstairs to the door of Yang Li’s room. After knocking on the door, he heard Yang Li’s voice. “Who is it? The door isn’t locked!”
Yang Ming pushed the door and went inside, “It’s me, Yang Ming.”
“You are here too?” Yang Dashan’s att.i.tude improved, but that didn’t mean that Yang Li’s att.i.tude would be improved also.
“Here, this is the gift that I bought for you from Hong Kong. Whether you want it or not is up to you.” Yang Ming listened to Yang Li’s complaining tone and got irritated. Do I owe you anything? Do you need to put on a sour face whenever you see me? If you weren’t my relative, I would have already given you two slaps on the face.
“You? A gift for me?” Yang Li pouted her mouth. “Could it be some cheap local product?”
“Take it or leave it.” Yang Ming was annoyed, “If you don’t want it, you can throw it out the window!”
“What item? Let me see!” Yang Li said no with her mouth, but her hand wasn’t idle. She opened the packet that Yang Ming gave her.
“LV handbag?” Yang Li was stunned. “Is this real or fake? You can afford this?”
Yang Ming was enraged by her. He really wanted to give her a kick. “If you don’t want it, throw it away!”
Yang Ming had conveniently bought this handbag when he bought a schoolbag for Lin Zhiyun, so he thought about giving it to Yang Li. He didn’t expect this woman to nitpick on things.
” Hmph .” Yang Li snorted and said in her heart, This bag looks quite real. I’ll get Sun Jie to look at it someday. She knows about it more, so she should be able to differentiate between a fake or a real one. She proceeded to say, “I’ll take it first. If it’s a fake, I’ll throw it away.”
“Whatever.” Yang Ming was too lazy to be angry with her. This kind of person, if you want to be angry at her, you would die from anger first!
It didn’t take long for Yang Xiaobo to come too. He opened Yang Li’s door, “Big brother, big sister, you’re all here?”
” En , Xiaobo, you are here!” Yang Ming nodded and smiled. “Are you used to high school?”
“Not bad, big brother. My cla.s.smates are all envious to death with the pair of sneakers that you gave to me! Especially the fatty in our cla.s.s, his father’s pretty rich. Even if he wanted his dad to buy it, they couldn’t get it! When they visited the specialty store, they were told that it was a Hong Kong design, so it wasn’t sold here!” Yang Xiaobo said proudly.
” En ? Xiaobo, Yang Ming also gave you something?” Yang Li looked at Yang Xiaobo and asked.
“Yeah, elder sister. Do you have something too? Elder Brother went to Hong Kong a while ago!” said Yang Xiaobo.
“Is this really genuine?” Yang Li picked up the LV bag and looked at it.
Yang Ming was too lazy to talk to her. He went downstairs with Yang Xiaobo.
” Oh ya , has that Zhang Song from cla.s.s eight stopped asking you for trouble?” Yang Ming asked.
“Nope, Zhang Song is now my underling.” Yang Xiaobo said with some excitement, “Now, everyone in the school knows that I’m your little brother. No one dares to trouble me.”
“Sweat [2], you feel proud about that?” Yang Ming didn’t know to cry or laugh,What kind of reputation is that? How come it sounded like a notorious reputation?
“I feel quite proud.” Yang Xiaobo nodded.
In the blink of an eye, it was the time for dinner. Yang Dashan sat at the host’s seat and called everyone to the table. “Everyone, let me announce some good news. My sand factory has been cashed out. I’m no longer working at it.”
Everyone was stunned, How was this good news? Even Yang Ming found it incomprehensible. He didn’t know what his uncle wanted to say.
“I have set up a real estate development company and I will officially list it at the end of the year.” Yang Dashan said with some pride, “We as the Yang Family have officially risen in Song Jiang City. We’re now a reputable family. Let’s get together more often in the future!”
Now only everyone understood it. It turned out that Yang Dashan’s business was getting bigger! Real estate development was big business!
Yang Dashan indeed felt a bit fluttering. His partner, Bao Sanli, had suddenly integrated all the forces in the Song Jiang underworld. The status of Yang Dashan had naturally risen.
If someone wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the real estate business, he must have a profound background. Obviously, Yang Dashan now had this capital. In Song Jiang, who else dared to say that he was better than Bao Sanli – of course, other than Yang Ming?
Everyone had a toast to congratulate him. Yang Ming also understood the meaning of his uncle’s treats. He wanted to show off his strength! Now, the most powerful figure in the Yang family was Yang Dashan. He had the most ability and naturally wanted to show it in front of his relatives.
Of course, this was only superficial. Once Yang Ming’s company opened its business, maybe he won’t talk like this anymore.
However, Yang Ming didn’t regard it as a matter. The originally harsh uncle could become like this. What else could he ask for from this kind of a person?
At the dinner table, Yang Dashan kept boasting about how capable and powerful he was now. However, he also said it a few times that if anyone had any difficulties, they could go to him.
This made Yang Ming feel more comfortable in his heart.
Regarding the uncle’s change, Yang Ming’s parents and Yang Xiaobo’s family had also seen it in their eyes. They were also happy in their hearts.
In the afternoon, Yang Dashan was ready to drive the family to sing karaoke.
Yang Ming saw that his parents were pretty interested, so it wasn’t good for him to go back first. Yang Dashan called the company’s Jinbei Minivan to bring everyone to the Nightless Club’s KTV.
Yang Ming knew about the relations.h.i.+p between his uncle and Bao Sanli, so it was no surprise that they came here. This was Bao Sanli’s base camp, so most probably Yang Dashan was a frequent visitor here.
Sure enough, even the lady welcoming guests at the door knew Yang Dashan.
“President Yang, you are here!” The welcoming lady at the door saw Yang Dashan and immediately smiled and greeted him.
” En , I’ve brought my family here to have fun. Get me a bigger private room!” Yang Dashan asked, “Is Brother Bao here?”
“President Bao and President Hou went to discuss the banquet tomorrow. They’re not here.” The welcoming lady informed him.
” Oh .” Yang Dashan nodded. Yang Dashan was very clear that tomorrow Bao Sanli would be inviting all Song Jiang’s reputable bosses to the banquet because he also received an invitation.
“President Yang, wait a moment. Let me get you a private room.” The welcoming lady said.
“Okay, you go ahead.” Yang Dashan nodded, then said to Yang Dahai and the rest, “I’m very familiar with the boss here, so everyone can relax and just have fun!”
