â En , she called me. I already know. You should go back to what you are currently busy with Uncle Chen.â Yang Ming said.
âOkay, donât think too much. You know Uncle Chenâs intention the best!â Chen Fei said, âUncle Chen had always been looking after you!â
â Hehe , I understand.â Yang Ming smiled.
âThatâs good. Uncle Chen will buy you a meal on another day!â Chen Fei said, âLetâs stop talking for now. I have just arrived at the police station.â
âOkay, see you again Uncle Chen!â Yang Ming hung up.
âAre you a.s.sured now?â Yang Ming shrugged and smiled at his mother who had been eavesdropping by the side.
âYou little kid!â Mother Yang had a big red face as she walked away on her own. âSince there really was an issue, then letâs move on. You should dress up. It just so happens that your father and I are going to attend your big uncleâs banquet today.â
âUncle?â Yang Ming was stunned. âHe took the initiative to invite us over?â
In Yang Mingâs 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?
â En , your uncle is treating us to a meal. Your father and I got a call last night. Since you were visiting Chen Mengyanâs home today, I didnât tell you. Now that youâve got nothing to do, just come along with us.â Mother Yang said.
âSure, since the gift I bought for Yang Li hasnât given to her yet.â Yang Ming nodded and said. I havenât seen Yang Li since I came back from Hong Kong last time.
âThen you should go and get ready. Your father and I will also be ready in a short while.â Mother Yang instructed.
âAlright.â 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 Mingâs family had put in a lot of effort, so this time Yang Dashan didnât make it difficult for them. He greeted them with great enthusiasm.
âDahai, you guys are here? Come on in. Your sister-in-law is still preparing the meal so she wonât be able to come and greet you all.â Yang Dashan opened the door and spoke.
âUncle.â Yang Ming acknowledged [1]. Although he had some prejudice against his uncle, for his parentsâ sake, Yang Ming still showed him respect. Moreover, the performance of his uncle today wasnât so annoying.
âYang Ming, your cousin is upstairs. You can go and find her. Xiaobo and the rest will be arriving soon!â Yang Dashan said.
âOkay, Iâve brought her a gift too. Iâll go up first.â Yang Ming nodded.
â Hehe , you didnât need to bring a gift! Weâre after all a family, right?â Yang Dashanâs 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 Mingâs family wanted to borrow some money from him, he wouldnât object either. But what he didnât know was that Yang Ming was now a lot richer than him.
Yang Ming went upstairs to the door of Yang Liâs room. After knocking on the door, he heard Yang Liâs voice. âWho is it? The door isnât locked!â
Yang Ming pushed the door and went inside, âItâs me, Yang Ming.â
âYou are here too?â Yang Dashanâs att.i.tude improved, but that didnât mean that Yang Liâs att.i.tude would be improved also.
âHere, this is the gift that I bought for you from Hong Kong. Whether you want it or not is up to you.â Yang Ming listened to Yang Liâs 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 werenât my relative, I would have already given you two slaps on the face.
âYou? A gift for me?â Yang Li pouted her mouth. âCould it be some cheap local product?â
âTake it or leave it.â Yang Ming was annoyed, âIf you donât want it, you can throw it out the window!â
âWhat item? Let me see!â Yang Li said no with her mouth, but her hand wasnât idle. She opened the packet that Yang Ming gave her.
âLV handbag?â Yang Li was stunned. âIs this real or fake? You can afford this?â
Yang Ming was enraged by her. He really wanted to give her a kick. âIf you donât want it, throw it away!â
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 didnât expect this woman to nitpick on things.
â Hmph .â Yang Li snorted and said in her heart, This bag looks quite real. Iâll 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, âIâll take it first. If itâs a fake, Iâll throw it away.â
âWhatever.â 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 didnât take long for Yang Xiaobo to come too. He opened Yang Liâs door, âBig brother, big sister, youâre all here?â
â En , Xiaobo, you are here!â Yang Ming nodded and smiled. âAre you used to high school?â
âNot 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 fatherâs pretty rich. Even if he wanted his dad to buy it, they couldnât get it! When they visited the specialty store, they were told that it was a Hong Kong design, so it wasnât sold here!â Yang Xiaobo said proudly.
â En ? Xiaobo, Yang Ming also gave you something?â Yang Li looked at Yang Xiaobo and asked.
âYeah, elder sister. Do you have something too? Elder Brother went to Hong Kong a while ago!â said Yang Xiaobo.
âIs this really genuine?â 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.
â Oh ya , has that Zhang Song from cla.s.s eight stopped asking you for trouble?â Yang Ming asked.
âNope, Zhang Song is now my underling.â Yang Xiaobo said with some excitement, âNow, everyone in the school knows that Iâm your little brother. No one dares to trouble me.â
âSweat [2], you feel proud about that?â Yang Ming didnât know to cry or laugh, What kind of reputation is that? How come it sounded like a notorious reputation?
âI feel quite proud.â Yang Xiaobo nodded.
In the blink of an eye, it was the time for dinner. Yang Dashan sat at the hostâs seat and called everyone to the table. âEveryone, let me announce some good news. My sand factory has been cashed out. Iâm no longer working at it.â
Everyone was stunned, How was this good news? Even Yang Ming found it incomprehensible. He didnât know what his uncle wanted to say.
âI have set up a real estate development company and I will officially list it at the end of the year.â Yang Dashan said with some pride, âWe as the Yang Family have officially risen in Song Jiang City. Weâre now a reputable family. Letâs get together more often in the future!â
Now only everyone understood it. It turned out that Yang Dashanâs 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 â of course, other than Yang Ming?
Everyone had a toast to congratulate him. Yang Ming also understood the meaning of his uncleâs 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 Mingâs company opened its business, maybe he wonât talk like this anymore.
However, Yang Ming didnât 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 uncleâs change, Yang Mingâs parents and Yang Xiaoboâs 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 wasnât good for him to go back first. Yang Dashan called the companyâs Jinbei Minivan to bring everyone to the Nightless Clubâs 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 Sanliâs 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.
âPresident Yang, you are here!â The welcoming lady at the door saw Yang Dashan and immediately smiled and greeted him.
â En , Iâve brought my family here to have fun. Get me a bigger private room!â Yang Dashan asked, âIs Brother Bao here?â
âPresident Bao and President Hou went to discuss the banquet tomorrow. Theyâre not here.â The welcoming lady informed him.
â Oh .â Yang Dashan nodded. Yang Dashan was very clear that tomorrow Bao Sanli would be inviting all Song Jiangâs reputable bosses to the banquet because he also received an invitation.
âPresident Yang, wait a moment. Let me get you a private room.â The welcoming lady said.
âOkay, you go ahead.â Yang Dashan nodded, then said to Yang Dahai and the rest, âIâm very familiar with the boss here, so everyone can relax and just have fun!â
