âI am Yang Hengâs father, and Iâm thrilled that you all can attend Yang Hengâs eighteenth birthday partyâ¦â¦â Yang Hengâs father was the bureau chief, he spoke with cadence, the role of a leader, and loving father coexisting at the same time.
During his speech, Yang Hengâs mother asked her son, âWho is Ye Jian1? Point her out to me.â
âSheâs at the back, a girl who does not like to be under the limelight. A quiet character, Iâll introduce her to you later,â Yang Heng seeing his mother anticipating to meet Ye Jian couldnât help but laugh, âThereâs really nothing going on between her and me, weâre just friends whose great minds think alike, donât misunderstand.â
Yang Hengâs mother chuckled and said lightly: âWith lass Jing around, you wonât have a chance for any early romance.â
âYouâre really wise,â Yang Heng laughed along, he knew Yao Jing had made his mother unhappy, he coaxed softly: âDonât calculate with her, just bring it up with Uncle Yao later.â
Although Yang Hengâs mother was still smiling, her tone had faded, âYour Uncle Yaoâs family are more than happy to see that happen. At the banquet, the intentionally or otherwise revealed youâre close with lass Jing and have a good relationship.â
âWhat are you angry about? If a boy is mentioned, itâs just adding to his unconventional lifestyle, and if a girl mentions it, it can be said sheâs not dignified. Iâm not close with Yao Jing, people who pay attention to our family could naturally tell as time goes by,â Yang Hengâs mother came from a literary family, she strictly followed the rules, she was feeling unhappy with Yao Jingâs act of acting like the host.
In middle school, Yao Jing forced a girl to drop out of school, and some rumors were saying it was related to Yang Heng. At that time, Yang Hengâs mother investigated in private and even went to find that girl, confirming that it was really related to Yang Heng.
But it was because that girl was hosting the schoolâs party with Yang Heng, she had more exchanges with him than usual, and Yao Jing bore a grudge against her.
Since then, Yang Hengâs mother had a knot in her heart, and she even reminded Yang Heng to maintain his distance with Yao Jing, at the same time, they also moved away to keep away from her.
The Yang Family did not clearly state their attitudes, and the Yao Family did not go in-depth, they just got along like this, thinking that if both families would get along well, their childrenâs relationships would also get along well.
The mother and son were whispering to each other. Bureau Chief Yang did not talk for too long; it was only two minutes and handed the topic over to Yang Hengâs mother.
Yang Hengâs mother gently gave her speech, her pronunciation was clear, she was comparable to an announcer, she said in a happy and straightforward manner: âYou all just have fun, youâre all adults once you passed eighteen years old. Us, who are parents, cannot continue being strict like when you all are children, just have fun today. If thereâs anything, you all can find our staff at any moment.â
His parentâs open-minded attitude caused the students who attended the birthday party to relax. When it was Yang Hengâs turn to speak, he was even more direct: âEat and drink well, sleep well tonight.â
âAlso, there are a few brothers from our class who want to play darts with Ye Jian, you all must eat your fill so that you have enough strength to battle Ye Jian!â
The smile at the corner of Yao Jingâs lips became deeper. So it turns out that Ye Jian is here to compete in darts with the senior brothers, she was not purposely invited by Yang Heng.
Hmph, thatâs more like it! Or else, she must have a good talk with Aunt Song, let Ye Jian land herself in serious trouble.
A buffet was a relaxing meal, and you can eat and watch the programs organized by the students from the twelfth grade. Yang Hengâs birthday party was not considered a high-class style, but it was particularly lively.
