Hearing Yang Cheng's question, Liu Mingyu was silent for a while on the other end of the phone. Then, she smiled and said, "My parents … are very ordinary people. My mom is just an ordinary housewife. Other than cooking, she plays mahjong and drinks tea with the aunties in the community. My dad is doing some business in Beijing, so he doesn't come home often. In the past, I could only see him a few times a year. He seems to be planning to go back to Zhonghai to develop his career, so he has been staying at home recently. "
"Then, do uncle and auntie have any hobbies?" Yang Cheng asked thoughtfully.
"They don't have any hobbies, and they don't like to be flashy and extravagant. Don't bring too many things, they won't like it," Liu Mingyu reminded him.
Yang Cheng pondered that Liu Mingyu's parents should be the most ordinary elders in the family, so he asked, "Tell your parents, why did I disappear by myself?"
"I … I only said that I met him at the company, and he works as a director in the branch," Liu Mingyu said.
"Then they didn't ask anything else?" Yang Cheng didn't think that Liu Mingyu's parents would be satisfied with this little bit of information.
"They … they asked when we are getting married, I … I don't know what to say, so I asked them to meet you, and you can tell them," Liu Mingyu stuttered. She had always been generous and elegant, but now, she didn't know what to say.
Yang Cheng also knew that he was being a jerk. It was obvious that he couldn't say a 'wedding date', nor could he give a specific promise about the future. So, if he wanted Liu Mingyu's parents to not oppose the two of them, he had to think of a way to make them agree.
This problem definitely couldn't be solved through normal means, so Yang Cheng felt that 'unconventional means' were not a bad idea.
As for how to do it, Yang Cheng didn't have a good idea, so he could only take it one step at a time.
They agreed to have dinner together in a quiet vegetarian restaurant in the eastern district of Zhonghai. It was said that Liu Mingyu's father was a vegetarian, so the whole family only had vegetarian dishes on the table.
From this, it could be seen that in Liu Mingyu's family, her father was the leader. Yang Cheng thought that it should not be a problem to get her father's approval.
He drove to the quiet restaurant. When he got out of the car and walked to the door, Liu Mingyu was already waiting anxiously. Yang Cheng walked up to her and couldn't help but smile when he saw her nervous face. "Why are you so nervous? Are your parents going to eat me?"
However, Liu Mingyu was not in the mood to joke around. She said, "If my father suddenly does something, don't be rash. Talk to him nicely."
Yang Cheng was puzzled. Why did he feel that there was something else in Liu Mingyu's words? But he didn't have the time to think too much about it and entered the reserved room.
Along the way, Liu Mingyu held his arm and stuck close to him, but it was obvious that her soft body was trembling uneasily.
Because it was a vegetarian restaurant, the decoration was mainly dark green and black, looking light and peaceful. There were a lot of indoor plants in the corner and hanging spider plants on the ceiling, giving off a refreshing feeling.
When the door of the private room opened, Yang Chen immediately saw a couple sitting in front of him.
Liu Mingyu's mother looked similar to her daughter. Although there were some crow's feet at the corner of her eyes, she was still beautiful when she was young. When she saw Yang Cheng coming in, there was a complicated look in her eyes, which puzzled Yang Cheng.
The man sitting next to Mother Liu wore a grey striped suit. His slightly bald hair was neatly combed at the back of his head. A pair of spirited eyes stared at Yang Chen, like two sharp knives. However, the corner of his mouth hung a faint smile, like a spring breeze caressing one's face.
The moment Yang Cheng saw Liu Mingyu's father, he understood why Liu Mingyu was so nervous. Liu Mingyu's father was definitely not simple, because he clearly had a murderous aura.
This was a man who had killed many people. He was definitely not a simple businessman who had returned to Zhonghai from other places as Liu Mingyu had said.
Yang Cheng suddenly had a special interest. Even the matter of how to talk about marriage just now seemed to be no longer a problem.
"Your name is Yang Cheng, right? Come, have a seat!" Liu Mingyu's mother said politely with a smile, "Actually, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but Yu 'er refused. She always said that she was busy. It's good for young people to be busy, but you can't always put off important things for the rest of your life, right?"
When Yang Cheng sat down, he thought to himself that Liu Mingyu's mother was not easy to deal with. He had just sat down and she was already talking about marriage.
"Liu Qingshan, Yu 'er's father," Liu Qingshan raised the apple cider vinegar that was prepared on the table and raised his glass to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng responded with a smile, "I should have come to meet you earlier. It's just that I had other things to do, so I delayed it until tonight."
Liu Qingshan asked with a smile, "I heard from Yu 'er that you are the director of a branch of Yu Lei International. Being able to become the head of a branch at such a young age, you must not be simple."
Liu Qingshan's eyes clearly did not have any appreciation, which made Yang Cheng feel that he was hiding a knife behind his smile.
"Uncle, you're flattering me, but my luck is better than others."
"Luck is also a part of one's ability," Liu Qingshan said and said to Liu Mingyu, "Yu 'er, get the waiter to serve the dishes."
Liu Mingyu was in a nervous state. When she heard this, she immediately responded. When she stood up, she lost her balance and tripped on the leg of the chair, almost falling.
Yang Cheng reacted quickly and held onto Liu Mingyu's slender waist to prevent her from falling.
Being hugged by Yang Cheng in front of her parents, Liu Mingyu's face was burning and she hurriedly ran out.
Only Yang Cheng and Liu Qingshan were left in the private room. The atmosphere was slightly tense.
Liu Mingyu's mother's smile widened, but Liu Qingshan's face darkened slightly.
"Yang Cheng, how long have you known Yu 'er?" Liu Qingshan asked.
Yang Chen did some calculations. "It's been about half a year."
"Then, when do you plan to get married? You know, Yu 'er isn't young anymore. Both of you are successful in your career, there's no pressure to get married," Liu Qingshan said directly.
Yang Cheng did not expect to be asked this question so soon. He could not help but smile bitterly, "Actually, I'm already married."
As soon as he said this, Liu Mingyu's mother covered her mouth in shock. She was obviously shocked.
Liu Qingshan, on the other hand, had a cold smile on his face as if he already knew, "You're quite honest, young man. I thought you were going to make up some nonsense to lie to us."
"Since you already knew, why did you ask Mingyu to meet me here?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.
Liu Qingshan was about to say something when the door of the private room was suddenly opened!
"Dad, Mom! Where's Brother-in-law?! "
A tall and skinny young man wearing loose hip hop attire, dyed yellow hair, and earrings suddenly barged in. A pair of not so big eyes swept across the room and fixed on Yang Chen. In an instant, the enthusiasm he had earlier cooled by half. "So this is the guy? Why does he look so mediocre? "
"Minghao, why are you so late again? Did you go looking for a fight again?" Liu Mingyu's mother stood up unhappily and walked to the young man's side, pulling him to her side.
Liu Qingshan was satisfied to see his son. He said to Yang Cheng, "This is Yu 'er's younger brother, Minghao. He used to live with me in Beijing and doesn't come back to Zhonghai often."
Yang Cheng was stunned. Liu Mingyu's family was really complicated. Her mother and Liu Mingyu lived in Zhonghai, while her father and younger brother lived in Beijing. Liu Mingyu and her mother were obviously from a normal family, but Liu Qingshan and Liu Minghao didn't look like good people.
No wonder Liu Mingyu suddenly said not to come if he didn't have time. But, did she not know what her father and brother were like?
"Do you think it's strange that Yu 'er has a father like me?" Liu Qingshan seemed to have seen through Yang Cheng's thoughts.
Yang Cheng nodded, "I'm a little surprised."
"Surprised my ass! You dare to marry my sister with that disgusting look? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? You're not handsome, you're not cool, you don't look strong, you're definitely not good at fighting, and you dare to marry my sister? If my sister wants to find a husband, he should at least be a tycoon on the Immortal List! "Liu Minghao said disdainfully.
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose, "It's the Forbes Rich List."
"Right, right, right." Liu Minghao suddenly chuckled, "That's what I meant!"
Liu Minghao didn't blame her son when she heard his nonsense. Her eyes were filled with love as she touched Liu Minghao's face, treating him like a child.
At this time, Liu Mingyu walked back to the room and saw that her brother was also there. She said with dissatisfaction, "Minghao, did you go to fight again? Why are you back so late? You might as well sleep on the street from now on!"
As she said that, Liu Mingyu introduced her brother to Yang Cheng, "He's my brother. He's very naughty, but he's actually quite kind."
Yang Cheng smiled, "I can tell. You keep saying that I'm not handsome, but you didn't come to slap me in the face."
Liu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled, but when she saw her father's expression, she started to worry again.
"Yang Cheng, the reason why I asked Yu 'er to invite you over for a meal and get to know you is actually very simple." Liu Qingshan took a sip of apple cider vinegar and looked at Yang Cheng with a sharp gaze, "I don't object to the two of you being together."
Liu Mingyu suddenly raised her head and looked at her father in surprise. She clearly didn't expect her father to say that.
Liu Minghao's mother looked like she already knew it. She smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.
Liu Minghao was the most dissatisfied. He looked like he wanted to rebel against his father, but when Liu Qingshan glared at him, he obediently went back.
Yang Chen didn't know what he was feeling right now. It was as if he had prepared a whole bunch of words to say and things he didn't like, only to realize that it was all for naught. But somehow, he was happy that it all happened. He blinked his eyes and grinned. "Uncle, you're so understanding."
"Are you mocking me? Although I'm not a monogamous person, I'm not a father who likes to give his only daughter to another man as a lover." Liu Qingshan's eyes were a little angry, but then the corners of his mouth curled up, and he asked with a smile, "President Situ of the Red Thorns Society is also your lover, right?"
The smile on Yang Cheng's face disappeared. Then, something flashed through his mind. He recalled what Qiangwei said to him that day. He frowned and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Uncle, could it be that you … are Qiangwei's partner?"
