âHuh?â
âBig brother??â
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then said to his wife Tian Shasha, âIf it really is my ex-girlfriend, big brother wouldnât know her!â
âBrother-in-law, your big brother contributed fifty thousand!â
Tian Miaomiao added another sentence.
âWhat!â
âFifty thousand???â
Yang Peng and his wife Tian Shasha exclaimed in unison.
âMiaomiao, are you sure itâs not five thousand??â
After a moment of shock, Yang Peng asked.
His big brother Yang Hao contributing five thousand he could understand, since their old dad had helped his big brother before, and he had always had a good relationship with his big brother.
But fifty thousand was beyond his expectations!
âItâs not five thousand, itâs fifty thousand!â Tian Miaomiao confirmed.
âContributed fifty thousand as a gift?â
âThatâs way too much!â
Tian Shasha, who had come to her senses, wore a look of disbelief on her face.
âI have never seen anyone contribute so much at a full-month celebration!â
Sun Qingmei chimed in.
âOh, brother-in-law, your big brotherâs girlfriend also contributed ten thousand.â Tian Miaomiao added.
âWhat?â
âBig brotherâs girlfriend?â
Yang Peng felt his brain was clearly not functioning enough.
In his memory, his big brother had recently been having a tough time, and although he had repaid their fatherâs money, it shouldnât have been so easy to turn his fortunes around quickly.
However, the news he was receiving now was that his big brother had contributed fifty thousand and even had a girlfriend.
That wasnât the look of someone down on their luck!
Could it be big brother had prospered again??
âShasha, letâs go ask big brother about it!â
Yang Peng took his wife Tian Shasha towards the Yang Familyâs table.
Since it was his family, he had been attending to outsiders just now and hadnât had the chance to greet his elders.
After he arrived with Tian Shasha, he first greeted the elders, then turned his attention to his big brother Yang Hao.
âBig brother, is this sister-in-law?â
Yang Peng had already been surprised to hear that his big brother had a girlfriend, but seeing that she was so young and beautiful, he was even more astonished.
âMhm.â
Yang Hao nodded and introduced them to each other.
âBig brother, can I talk to you in private?â
After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Peng signaled to his big brother Yang Hao to chat aside.
Yang Hao could probably guess what his cousin wanted to chat about and followed him to a relatively quiet corner.
âBig brother, I heard you contributed fifty thousand, thatâs really too much!â
âItâs not for you, itâs for the child!â
Yang Hao had already thought about how to respond and said with a smile.
âStill, thatâs too much, besides, big brother, you must have just gotten back on your feet,â Yang Peng shook his head repeatedly.
âDonât worry, Iâve got it figured out!â
Yang Hao gently patted his cousinâs shoulder.
Seeing his big brother Yang Hao looking so nonchalant, Yang Peng didnât press on the issue anymore, but instead asked, âBig brother, who are Wang Xueru and Meng Yuyu?â@@novelbin@@
âAccountant Liu said the money you brought, each person ten thousand!â
âShasha even thought it was my ex-girlfriend!â
As Yang Peng spoke, he glanced at Tian Shasha beside him.
âHuh?â
Hearing Yang Peng say this, Yang Hao was somewhat stuck between laughter and tears. He said to Tian Shasha, âShasha, rest assured, those two are definitely not Dapengâs ex-girlfriends.â
âMhm, mhm.â
Tian Shasha nodded, then asked curiously, âBig brother, then who are they?â
âWell, that isâ¦â
Yang Hao cleared his throat and chose his words carefully before saying, âThey are my two sisters, who had heard that I was coming back for Dapengâs full-month celebration. They wanted to come with me, but something came up at the last minute, so they couldnât make it and asked me to bring some money!â
âSisters??â
Yang Peng looked doubtful. As close cousins, he was very clear whether his big brother had any sisters.
âSworn sisters.â
Yang Hao added.
âI seeâ¦â
Yang Peng nodded but still found it somewhat unbelievable.
His big brotherâs sworn sisters were giving ten thousand each as a gift to someone they didnât even know!!
Naturally, they were doing it for the sake of big brotherâs faceâ¦
But what kind of relationship would command such respect!
âBig brother, then please convey my thanks to these two sisters. Shasha and I will be going to Jiangcheng soon. Weâll treat your sisters to a meal to make up for the full-month celebration,â Yang Peng said earnestly.
âSure, Iâll let them know,â Yang Hao nodded.
âBig brother, then Shasha and I will go ahead and greet the guests,â said Yang Peng.
As the host, Yang Peng was quite busy.
âGo ahead, no need for formalities among brothers,â replied Yang Hao as he waved his hand lightly, then he turned back to his seat.
Once the big brother walked away, Tian Shasha couldnât help but ask, âBig brotherâs sister seems to have a pretty unusual relationship with him, doesnât she?â
âDonât guess wildly!â
âHavenât you seen that there is Xinyi sitting by his side!â
In fact, Yang Peng had his own suspicions, but he felt his conjecture was too absurd.
He knew his big brother Yang Hao well, who didnât seem like the kind of person to be playing the field.
But if that wasnât the case, those two sisters were hard to explainâ¦
âThis new sister-in-law seems even younger than me!â
âAnd sheâs so pretty too; big brother seems to have really struck it rich!â Tian Shasha went on to say.
What actually reflects a manâs status and position is not the brand names on his body but the woman beside him.
Take for example, Old Wang, a forty-year-old bald man; if he appears by himself, he just looks like a greasy middle-aged man.
But if heâs accompanied by a young and beautiful girl, others will definitely think heâs Mr. Wang!
Although Yang Hao isnât a bald Old Wang, his current situation is pretty similar; with Sun Xinyi sitting beside him, he immediately gives off the air of Mr. Yang!
âIt looks like big brother is doing pretty well.â
âIn a while, when we go to Jiangcheng, we should have a detailed chat with him,â continued Yang Peng.
Tian Shasha nodded and smiled, âActually, Iâm more curious about what those two sisters of big brother look like, whether they are as pretty as Sister Xinyiâ¦â
A little while later.
The full-month celebration officially began.
Liang Xiaojun and Yang Guofu were both quite good at drinking, and adding the fact that Liang Fei also inherited his fatherâs genes for drinking, their table didnât lack for alcohol.
It didnât take long for the Liang family father and son to show signs of drunkenness, and Yang Guofuâs face was also glowing red.
Yang Guomin wasnât much of a drinker, but it was inappropriate not to drink on such an occasion, so he joined in for a few cups.
âHao, you mentioned earlier that youâre still with Jiangcheng Newspaper Group?â
âThatâs a big corporation; what position do you hold there? Do you have a say?â asked Liang Xiaojun with a hint of inebriation.
âDo I have a say?â
âOur Hao is the president!â
Old Mr. Yang proudly took over the conversation.
âWhat?â
âPresident??â
Liang Xiaojun was instantly stunned, and even Yang Guofu beside him showed an incredulous look.
âBig brother, youâve become a president??â exclaimed Liang Fei, his eyes round with surprise. Although he knew that Yang Hao seemed to have gotten rich again, he didnât expect him to have become the president of a big corporation.
âItâs just a title, Jiangcheng Newspaper Group is a state-controlled enterprise,â responded Yang Hao casually, sensing his uncleâs motive in the conversation and laying the groundwork first.
âHe really is the president!â
âHao, they say âone should look at an old friend with new eyes if three days have passed.â Youâve really made it!â exclaimed Liang Xiaojun.
Yang Hao just waved his hand, âLike I said, itâs just a title.â
âBut no matter how you look at it, youâre still a president!â Liang Xiaojun said as he raised his glass, âHere, uncle would like to make a toast to you.â
âYou are the first president in our family!!â After speaking, Liang Xiaojun drained the beer in his glass.
Since he was an elder, Yang Hao immediately followed with a toast.
âHao, do you think thereâs a chance for little Fei to get into Jiangcheng Newspaper Group? Heâs always been working in self-media, so he does have experience in the media industry!â After putting down his glass, Liang Xiaojun asked.
Liang Xiaojun knew his sonâs capabilities well; the self-media company he started with his friends was nothing serious.
After floundering for over half a year with nothing to show for it, and losing tens of thousands of yuan.
If it werenât for the lack of family support for Liang Feiâs ventures, the losses would have been more than just tens of thousands.
So, hearing that Yang Hao was the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, Liang Xiaojun thought of getting his son a job there.
After all, it was a legitimate large corporation with government backing.
âRight, Hao,â said Yang Huizhi.
âSee if you can make it happen!â she implored, her interest clearly for her sonâs future.
At this moment, Liang Fei felt his face heating up; before Yang Hao arrived, he had been boasting about having his big brother work with him!
But now, in the blink of an eye, his parents were requesting he follow Yang Haoâ¦
âXiaojun, Huizhi, do you not understand Feiâs work?â Yang Huizhen joined the conversation.
âDidnât he just offer Xinyi an annual salary of a hundred thousand to become a livestream host?â
âHe himself is such a big boss, thereâs no need to go to Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!â
At this point, Yang Huizhen interjected, clearly unimpressed with Liang Xiaojunâs opportunistic attitude.
When her nephew Yang Hao was down on his luck, he had been sarcastic and unpleasant.
Now that her nephew had made it, Liang Xiaojun was coming around looking for favors again, as if sheâd allow such a thing!!
