On the way back, the restrained Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong, who had been completely subdued by Yu Minglang, sat in the back seat. Xiao Qian, who didnât want to talk because Yu Minglang shamelessly brushed his presence, sat in the front seat and listened to Yu Minglang talking to himself.
âAunt, itâs almost noon. Let me treat you to a meal. Iâve already reserved a place. Can you eat Huaiyang cuisine? I know a hotel that just changed its chef, and their Lionâs Head meatballs are especially delicious.â
âUh, okayâ¦â Jia Xiufang was still immersed in the huge shock of her daughterâs sudden appearance of a boyfriend, and she just answered whatever she was asked.
Just afraid of saying something wrong and getting hit by bricks⦠That guy could break bricks with his legs; how strong must he be?
â Brother â in â lawââ
âChen Zilong!â Xiao Qian turned her head, grabbed the magazine in the car left by Yu Minglang, and threw it back. This naughty kid, what is he shouting for! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat should I call him?â The adolescent asked.
âJust call me Brother Lang for now, and weâll talk about changing your name later.â Yu Minglang said, and then felt that his foot was stomped on hard by someone. He glanced at Xiao Qian, and she snorted.
He is such a jerk, she didnât want to talk to him.
Yu Minglang carefully planned to leave a good impression on his future mother-in-law, so he chose to have dinner at the most expensive hotel in the city. This was the hotel owned by his brother, so he could get a discount and leave a good impression on the womanâs family.
Taking advantage of Yu Minglangâs parking, Jia Xiufang, who got out of the car first, secretly pulled Xiao Qian and asked.
âQianâer, is he really your new boyfriend?â
Xiao Qian glanced at Yu Minglang in the car and thought that she had already been messed up by this guy, so it would be pointless to continue pretending.
âHmm.â
âYouâre not going to school anymore? What kind of boyfriend are you looking for!â
âWerenât you guys the ones who were anxious? And you got me a Ni Jianren. I almost got married.â
Seeing that Xiao Qian and her mother seemed to be arguing, Yu Minglangs didnât rush to get out of the car and just sat firmly in the driverâs seat.
Even if they deliberately lowered their voices, Yu Minglang, who has lip-reading skills, could see what they were saying clearly.
âCan that be the same? Before, when you didnât pass your exams, we found you a boyfriend. Now that youâre going to school, youâve found a much older boss. Canât you give us some peace of mind?â
âWhatâs the big difference in age? Heâs only six years older than me. Ni Jianren is also several years older than me, didnât you think about this before?â
âHow can that be the same.â
Jia Xiufang, irritated, slapped Xiao Qian on the back. Yu Minglang immediately sat up straight.
What is she doing, hitting his girlfriend?!
âHow is that not the same! Where is Yu Minglang not better than that bitch?â
Yu Minglangâs eyes were filled with approval. His girlfriendâs ideological awareness was right and deserved recognition.
âYouâre still in school, and students should behave like students. Itâs not time for you to mix in society! And look at him, heâs so tall, he can break bricks with his legs, what will you do if he hits you in the future!â
Jia Xiufang had been a victim of domestic violence for half her life, and she didnât want her daughter to suffer the same fate.
âYou must be joking, how could he hit me?â In her previous life, she was so mean, always messing with Yu Minglang, but he never lost his temper with her. After their most intense argument, he just turned around with a black face and left, never raising his voice to her.
In Xiao Qianâs eyes, this guy had the appearance of a wolf but the insides of a husky â he looked fierce, but in fact, had no attack power. At least with her, he had no attack power.
âItâs still not allowed!â Jia Xiufang still wanted to say something.
Yu Minglang got out of the car and walked up to Jia Xiufang with a smile on his face.
âAunt, we can go in now.â
Jia Xiufang could only swallow the words she had for her daughter and followed Yu Minglang into the private room. She was trying to figure out what to say when Yu Minglang handed her the menu without giving her a chance.
Jia Xiufang opened the menu and was shocked by the prices. A simple cold dish was more expensive than washing a down jacket, it was too extravagant.
âMaybe, never mind.â
âI got this.â Xiao Qian took the menu, glanced at Yu Minglang with composure, and felt a surge of mischief in her heart.
Let him bring his face-swapping skills! Let him brush up his presence in front of her mother. Letâs eat and make this big bad wolf suffer!
âCan we take away?â Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang, her expression clearly saying, âGet ready to be eaten alive!â
âIâve already prepared the takeaway separately, you can just order what weâre eating now.â
âStir-fried sea cucumber with green onion, steamed Lionâs Head with crabmeat, three sets of duck, braised shark finâ¦â Xiao Qian didnât even blink.
As she read each dish, Jia Xiufang quickly went through the prices in her head. The first few dishes were already expensive enough, and now that she heard her daughter daring to order shark fin, Jia Xiufang panicked and fiercely kicked Xiao Qian under the table.
âOuch! It hurts!â The one who screamed in pain was Chen Zilong, with a wronged look on his face.
âMom, why did you kick me?â
Xiao Qianâs mouth curled up with mischief, and she put her legs on the chair, already anticipating her motherâs anger.
âThe portions are quite small, not enough, so add another one.â Yu Minglang said to the waiter.
Xiao Qian looked at him in surprise.
She didnât really plan to order shark fin, just wanted to scare Yu Minglang. But this guy was no fun, he didnât change his face or heart even when teased like this. He was a really strong person.
When she dined with Ni Jianren, she ordered a plate of large shrimp. Ni Jianrenâs smile was already a little stiff, and Yu Minglangâs ability to withstand pressure was very strong.
âIt doesnât have to be that expensive, just order something casual. Do they have shredded potatoes? And vinegar sauteed Chinese cabbage.â Jia Xiufang knew that eating free food would make people speechless. This expensive meal would make them lose face in front of others.
âItâs okay, Aunt. This is my brotherâs place, and weâre eating at cost. These decadent capitalists are very black-hearted, making huge profits on a single dish, selling one and earning five. But the atmosphere between our brothers is still very good. You can just come here in the future and mention my name, and eat as much as you want.â
Yu Minglang took the opportunity to brush his presence again. Xiao Qian snorted. This boy wasnât stupid at all. He was just trying to fool her mother with brotherly loyalty and devotion.
âPlus shrimp, and hairy crab. Aunt must love seafood, having lived by the seaside for so many years. Letâs also have two plates of steamed crab dumplings.â Yu Minglang finished ordering and handed the menu to Chen Zilong.
âLittle brother, what do you want to eat? You can order it yourself.â
âWhatâs the most expensive â ah!â Chen Zilong really screamed this time.
Xiao Qian grabbed his ear, took the menu, and gave it back to the waiter.
âThatâs enough for now. Weâll talk later if we need more.â
She could slaughter Yu Minglang, but it didnât mean that Chen Wanku could be slaughtered too. Yu Minglang smiled and looked at Xiao Qian.
Look, how cute this little girl is, she already knows how to save money for him.
âUm, big bossâ¦â Jia Xiufang was trying to figure out how to start the conversation.
âAunt, my name is Yu Minglang, you can just call me by my name..â
