Chapter 1509: Be Vigilant
Yang Yujie sat prettily on the side, eating, and could now completely ignore the people at the table she wasn’t fond of.
Yang Chenggong was also left with no option. It was an old comrade who invited the family over for dinner, and he couldn’t refuse. He certainly knew the two kids didn’t like it.
In fact, he didn’t like it either. Why were the kids of this old comrade’s family always so petty? How were they brought up?
"Niece, what has got you so happy?" Li Jiancheng asked with a smile.
He genuinely liked this comrade’s daughter—pretty, with status. It would be great if she became part of his family.
"Uncle Li, the person I like has returned." Such a disgusting person wanting to covet her?
"Haha, niece already has someone she likes?"
"Yes." She said nothing more.
"Sis, has Feifei come too?" Zhenyu found the girl next to him extremely annoying. She was just twelve years old but acted like an adult, which seemed awkward and uncomfortable.
"Yes, you have to remember what you promised her."
"I won’t forget, definitely won’t forget."
Yang Chenggong and his wife were well aware of Li Jiancheng’s intentions. Because of social etiquette, they came, but his intentions didn’t matter. Such a match for their family was absolutely out of the question.
Yang Chenggong, because of his father’s reason, despised philanderers the most, and Li Jiancheng was just that—married three times, with the three children he brought today coming from three different women.
It’s someone else’s business, but their family would absolutely not get involved with them.
Sitting next to them was a pretty girl, Li Jiancheng’s eldest daughter, Li Xiuting, looking like a lady from a prominent family, politely sitting there with a smile.
Wu Fengying felt frustrated looking at their family. This was the first and last time; who had the heart to see them? They were uncomfortable just to look at.
At this age, what isn’t clear? Even among the Li family’s children, there’s competition, although not highly sophisticated, easily seen through.
Without the smarts but with a pretense of intelligence, such people are especially irritating to look at.
Li Jiancheng’s wife laughingly chatted with Wu Fengying, making her even more uncomfortable.
"Mom, my sister and I are leaving first."
"Where are you two going so late? No, you’re all coming home with me. Nowhere else."
"Mom, I really have something to do, I have to leave now.
Dad, you stay and eat with Uncle Li, but don’t drink." Yang Yujie reminded with a smile. Afraid her persuasion wasn’t enough, "If you drink, I’ll tell big brother."
"Alright, I know. I won’t drink. Go on, go on."
"Old Yang, I also want to leave with the kids." Wu Fengying was completely fed up.
Li Jiancheng felt upset. They didn’t think much of him, but he still maintained a smile on his face.
"Sister-in-law, we’re done eating too. Let’s end it here today. I won’t hold your niece up if she has something to do."
Yang Yujie didn’t wait for her parents to speak and immediately smiled and responded, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I’m so happy and want to see her right away. Excuse me."
"It’s alright, it’s alright." The dead girl doesn’t respect herself at all, actually liking some man? This Yang family’s upbringing is just like this.
Li Wenqiang narrowed his eyes, looking at Yang Yujie, whose face was grinning on the opposite side. He was determined to have this girl. Even though he was Li Jiancheng’s only son, his mother’s lack of status meant he wasn’t particularly valued.
If he had such a powerful father-in-law, he’d definitely have a say in the Li family.
No matter what the Li family thought, the Yang family left. Yang Chenggong drove Wu Fengying, and Zhenyu drove Yang Yujie.
The four didn’t speak on the way. Once home, Zhenyu couldn’t wait to ask.
"Sis, has Uncle Wei’s family arrived?"
"Yeah, I ran into Uncle Han at the restaurant, and he said they arrived yesterday."
"Why didn’t Feifei come to find me?" Yang Yujie mumbled. Who would have thought the girl she initially disliked intensely would become her favorite now?
Yang Yujie sat by the phone, skillfully dialing Yang Run Tai’s number.
No one answered the first time, so she dialed again. It took a while before it was picked up.
"Big brother, Feifei and her family are back. I just found out."
Yang Run Tai rubbed his temples, but a smile appeared on his face. "When did they come back?"
"They arrived yesterday. I only found out after meeting Han Xiangjun. I’m going to see her tomorrow."
"Hmm, bring over the box I prepared for her."
"Big brother, when are you coming back?"
"I’ll come back during the New Year."
"Shall I take Feifei to see you?"
"You won’t be able to persuade her."
"If I can persuade her, does that mean I can go?"
"Yes."
"Got it, I’ll go tomorrow."
"What about your studies?"
"I want to study with Feifei in the future; she knows everything I don’t."
Wu Fengying watching from the side was speechless, her daughter acting like a little adult at three, yet she comfortably says such things.
Yang Chenggong sat down, and Wu Fengying gave him a look, "You don’t need to involve our family of three on such matters anymore."
"I didn’t know it would be like this. Old Li has really changed a lot."
Wu Fengying gave him another look. From the beginning, she said they shouldn’t go, but he insisted they come along.
"Yang Chenggong, let me tell you. In matters concerning our three kids in the future, keep your mouth shut. If I find out you’ve agreed to anything rashly, we three won’t stay with you for another minute."
"I know, I know. Aren’t you afraid the kids will laugh at your attitude?" Yang Chenggong truly was defenseless against his wife.
Yang Yujie and the others were already used to it. Dad seemed authoritative outside, but at home, he had the lowest status.
"Let me tell you, our kids are growing up. They’ll be sought after more and more in the future. Be mindful. In the future, no matter who, if you want my kids to accompany them to dinner, they won’t go. Did you hear me?"
"I know, I know. I definitely won’t make the same mistake again. There really won’t be a next time." If he didn’t declare this directly, he’d probably have no peace for the entire night.
Quickly changing the topic, "Yujie, shall we invite their family over for dinner?"
"Dad, let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’ll meet Feifei and ask her. She must be studying. I also need to call my little aunt and tell her Uncle Wei’s family has arrived."
Tao Yanzhen was quite pleased to receive the call; after all, the Wei family was also her acquaintance. In this unfamiliar place, Yujie and Zhenyu weren’t willing to come here either. She actually wanted to move out too, really not used to it. But Yang Zhongyi hadn’t returned yet. She’d wait for him to come back; it wouldn’t be appropriate to mention it now.
