Chapter 37 This is the Hongmen Banquet
When Yang Xinling heard this, a trace of panic flashed across her pretty face, "Mom, the dishes are served. If you have any questions, can we talk about it after dinner?"
Yang Xinling's intention is actually very obvious, that is, she wants Yang's mother to give her a step down. After all, no matter what kind of questions she asks, Liu Yang will be embarrassed in public.
But Mother Yang ignored this. She stared at Liu Yang calmly, looking aloof, and everyone present also looked at Liu Yang tacitly.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table became extremely delicate.
At this time, Liu Yang put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Auntie, please give me some advice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of his clothes was quietly pulled off under the table by Yang Xinling beside him.
But it was already too late at this time. Mother Yang raised her lips disdainfully when she saw Liu Yang talking to her, and said, "I heard from Xinling that you are classmates in college, so why do you do this kind of work?"
Liu Yang knew that Yang Xinling didn't want to take over the job, but when Yang's mother asked, Liu Yang thought it was no big deal, so he responded with a smile, "Auntie, are you referring to the job of courier? I think it's pretty good, any profession is not a big deal.
It’s all a way of making a living.”
"Haha, what a good living! I just don't know how much you can earn every month? Is it enough to buy a set of cosmetics for my sister?"
Before Yang's mother could speak, Yang Xinting on the side laughed. It seemed that the mother and daughter really had the same heart.
Seeing this, Yang Xinling scolded, "Tingting, can't you just say a few words?"
Being scolded by her sister, Yang Xinting had no choice but to make a face, then turned to look at Mother Yang, thinking that if you don't let me say anything, you can still control your mother.
Mother Yang naturally understood the look in her little daughter's eyes, but this was what she wanted to ask, so she nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Liu Yang with a look of expectation.
It is said that women are most afraid of asking about their age, and men are most afraid of asking about their income. Mother Yang and Yang Xinting questioned Liu Yang in public, just to embarrass him. After all, how much salary can a small courier make?
Isn’t this just humiliating people naked!
At this time, Cyndi Yang raised her wine glass and saluted everyone present, "Elders are gathering together tonight, let's have a drink together first!"
Unexpectedly, everyone remained unmoved and followed Yang's mother's gaze towards Liu Yang, which made Yang Xinling feel embarrassed.
Seeing this, Liu Yang reached out to take Yang Xinling's wine glass and said with a smile, "Xinling, there's no rush, but it doesn't matter."
By now, Liu Yang knew very well that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but he had to settle for it. No matter what, he could not let Yang Xinling be wronged.
"Aunt, Tingting, actually I have been a courier for several years, and I have some savings on hand, but I haven't bought any gifts for Xinling yet. I think a set of cosmetics is still affordable."
"What?!" Yang Xinting was startled, then stood up excitedly and said angrily, "Liu Yang, you are too stingy! As my sister's boyfriend, you haven't even given me a gift. You, you
Do you still have the face?"
"Yes, Tingting is right. This is too outrageous. There is no way to fall in love without giving a girl a gift!"
"It's just that, if you don't spend a penny, how can you prove whether you are sincere?"
"If you ask me, it's because I'm poor! I couldn't afford the gift, so I didn't send it!"
"..."
For a moment, everyone present was talking and talking, and looked at Liu Yang with eyes full of contempt.
Yang Xinling secretly clenched her pink fists, her palms were sweaty. If she had known that Liu Yang would become the target of public criticism, she should not have asked him for help in the first place.
He didn't want to, but Liu Yang smiled and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "What the elders have taught me is that Tingting has her own reasons for what she said. This is indeed an oversight on my part, and I will definitely make up for it in the future."
"Fuck you! What can you do to make up for it?" Yang Xinting glanced sideways, raised her chin and said, "With your status, you are not worthy of my sister!"
Yang Xinling didn't expect that her sister would look down on Liu Yang so much, so she couldn't help but frowned and scolded, "Tingting, speak up!"
"Sister, am I wrong? I really think about you. Look at how kind brother Song Hao is to you. Can Liu Yang compare with it? You are not worried about not being able to get married, so why are you looking for this poor man?
Where’s the hanging thread?!”
The more Yang Xinting talked, the more excited she became, and she became more and more unhappy looking at Liu Yang.
At this time, Mother Yang waved her hand and said seriously, "Okay Tingting, let me say a few words."
Hearing this, Yang Xinting gave Liu Yang a hard look, snorted angrily, and stopped talking.
"Liu Yang, are you from Jiangcheng?" Mother Yang asked, then thought about it and said, "None of the first- and second-rate families in Jiangcheng seem to have the Liu family. Are they third-rate?"
Liu Yang can do a job like a courier, so obviously his family background will not be much better. If Liu Yang comes from a humble background, Yang's mother can not only humiliate her in public, but also have one more reason to persuade Yang Cyndi.
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'm not from Jiangcheng."
"Oh? Are you a stranger? Where is your hometown?" Yang's mother was secretly surprised. She would definitely not agree to her daughter marrying out of town, which gave her another reason.
When questioned by Yang's mother, Liu Yang responded softly, "Beijing."
"What? Capital City?!"
Mother Yang was surprised, and everyone was stunned.
After all, the capital city is the capital of the country, with the most developed economy and the streets filled with dignitaries and dignitaries. No matter where the people of the capital go, they have a natural sense of superiority.
For people in the capital, everyone outside the city is just a country bumpkin.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yang was actually from the capital, which was really unexpected.
However, it is completely illogical for a person from Beijing to come to Jiangcheng to work as a courier.
Mother Yang stared at Liu Yang suspiciously, "Are you really from the capital?"
Without waiting for Liu Yang to answer, Yang Xinling hurriedly said, "Mom, Liu Yang is indeed from the capital. We are classmates, there will be no lies."
Seeing her daughter confirming her words, Mother Yang seemed to believe it, but she couldn't help but be curious, and asked Liu Yang, "Then why did you come to Jiangcheng? It's not just for this job as a courier, right?"
Liu Yang smiled and responded, "I went to university here, so I stayed."
"What about your parents? What do they do in the capital?" Mother Yang was suddenly full of expectations. After all, even a third-rate family in the capital would be one of the best in Jiangcheng.
"My parents..." Liu Yanggang started and quickly swallowed it back. Faced with this kind of question, he really didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"I ran away from home." After a pause, Liu Yang could only say this.
Mother Yang never expected this to be the case, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The sense of disparity in her heart soon made her resentful. It seemed that Liu Yang was still an incompetent guy. No wonder he came from the capital.
To be able to look like this.
Does a person like this also want to fall in love with his own daughter, the pride of the Yang family? It’s simply a fool’s dream!
