Since Tangtang was also participating in the college entrance exam, it wasn't a surprise to bump into the mother and daughter pair.
Wei Tinghao, who was standing beside Choi Yeon, stared blankly at the two beauties. He couldn't understand why this man was always surrounded by beauties of all shapes and sizes.
Lin Ruoxi's face was calm and collected when she saw Tang Wan again. On the other hand, Choi Yeon had a complicated look on her face. After all, she was aware of the relationship between Yang Cheng and Tang Wan.
"Since we've bumped into each other, let's have lunch together!" Tang Wan said straightforwardly.
Lin Ruoxi furrowed her brows. Had it only been Tang Wan, she wouldn't have agreed to it. Of all the women around Yang Cheng, the one she was most dissatisfied with was Tang Wan, who had an awkward seniority.
But Tangtang was also present, and it was almost certain that she would marry Yuan Ye in the future. That would make her her sister-in-law. She couldn't afford to make things too awkward, so she nodded in agreement.
Wei Tinghao suddenly stepped forward and announced, "Looks like there's quite a number of people here. Why don't Yan 'er and I join in as well?" As he spoke, he kept glancing at Tang Wan, as though trying to get a better look at her.
But Tang Wan wasn't going to buy it. She frowned. "Who are you? We're friends, so what does it have to do with you?"
Wei Tinghao was taken aback. He didn't expect Tang Wan to reject him so straightforwardly. She didn't even bother to give him any special treatment.
But Wei Tinghao didn't reveal any awkwardness. He smiled modestly. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wei Tinghao, an Interpol officer. I'm also Choi Yeon's senior at the police academy. I've returned from France to Zhonghai to look for my junior, Choi Yeon, to investigate this case together. Could it be that I'm hoping to make some new friends after returning to China? I don't want to offend Madam. "
"Wei Tinghao?" Tang Wan thought for a moment. "You're from the Wei family of Yanjing?"
Wei Tinghao was a little taken aback, but he immediately puffed out his chest with pride. "I didn't expect such a beautiful lady to know of my origins. I've been out of the country most of the time, so I don't know many people. That's right, it's the Wei family. Wei Buqun is my father. "
Tang Wan smiled and said, "So you are the son of Minister Wei of the Ministry of Public Security. Sorry for not recognizing you."
Wei Tinghao waved his hand proudly. "You flatter me. I'm nothing compared to my father."
Hearing this conversation, Yang Cheng could not help but mutter, "So Dad is a minister, no wonder he's so arrogant …"
Wei Tinghao frowned. "Mr Yang, I heard what you said. I, Wei Tinghao, have always relied on my own hard work to become one of the three Interpol officers in all of Hua Xia. I didn't rely on nepotism. "
Hearing this, Tang Wan moved closer to her daughter, Tangtang, and whispered something into her ear, causing Tangtang to burst into laughter.
Wei Tinghao was puzzled. What was going on?
Lin Ruoxi did not care about what was going on. She stepped forward and tugged on Yang Cheng's arm. "Don't just stand there and waste time. Zhenxiu, it's more important for you to eat and get some rest. You still have a math test in the afternoon."
"Oh, yes, ma 'am." Yang Cheng did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately ran to his car and searched for a Korean restaurant with his GPS.
Tangtang giggled. "Sister Lin, you really know how to tame your husband. Uncle is so obedient."
Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly. "Are you guys taking our car or driving your own?"
"I'll drive Tangtang," Tang Wan replied. She then turned to Choi Yeon. "The second daughter of the Cai family is here as well. Do you want to tag along?"
Cai Yan naturally wanted to go, but when she saw the ugly expression on Wei Tinghao's face, she could only give a regretful smile. "Next time, I'll go with you."
Tang Wan ignored Wei Tinghao and nodded to Choi Yeon with a smile. She held her daughter's hand and walked past them to where the Land Rover was parked.
Not long after, Yang Cheng found a decent Korean barbecue restaurant and set off. Tang Wan followed closely behind in the Land Rover, and the two cars soon disappeared from sight.
This series of changes, like a movie, passed in an instant.
Wei Tinghao thought that everyone would try to curry favor with Tang Wan after she recognized him. He never imagined that they would ignore him and even mock him!
Standing on the spot, Wei Tinghao's face darkened as he snorted. "Yan Er, where did your sister and that woman come from? How could they be so rude?!"
Cai Yan thought to herself, "I've already exposed myself, saying that there's no nepotism involved. It would be strange if I don't laugh at you … Moreover, it seems like you're the one who asked to have a meal with me first. I'm not that familiar with you … But of course, I can't say it out loud. After all, you're my senior, and there's a paternal relationship."
"Senior, that sister of mine is the current CEO of Yu Lei International. As for that sister, she's called Tang Wan …"
"CEO of Yu Lei International?" Wei Tinghao was taken aback, but quickly recovered. "In this society, people think too highly of themselves when they have money. A businesswoman isn't that big of a deal. On the other hand, that Tang Wan … sounds familiar. "
Wei Tinghao had been out of the country most of the time, so he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Choi Yeon grumbled to herself, Interpol for a hundred years wouldn't even make as much as she does in a year. What's there to be proud of? She calmly explained, "It's not like I'm too concerned about your background. Her surname is Tang … Senior, don't you get it?"
Wei Tinghao's jaw dropped, his eyes flashing with panic. "She's … from the Tang family?"
Choi Yeon nodded, her heart filled with disdain. Even the weakest of the four great families, the Tang family, only had this much courage. If you were to find out that the guy you've been looking down on is from the Yang Family, wouldn't your legs turn to jelly?
However, Choi Yeon wasn't about to speak up for Yang Cheng. Smiling, she said, "Senior, work is more important. Let's just grab a bite and get back to work."
Wei Tinghao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He was no longer in the mood to care about women. With a stiff smile, he said, "Alright … Alright, I'll listen to you."
On the other hand, ten minutes later, Yang Chen and the others arrived at a high-class Korean restaurant. They found a table by the window and sat facing each other.
Outside the window, it was raining again. The sound of raindrops splashing against the eaves made the diners in the restaurant feel particularly amused.
As candidates, Zhenxiu and Tangtang were the main characters in charge of ordering food. Tangtang was a glutton to begin with, and Zhenxiu was well-versed in Korean cuisine. It didn't take long for a large pile of ingredients to be brought over for everyone to barbecue.
Yang Cheng was still thinking about Choi Yeon having a meal with Wei Tinghao. He couldn't let it show, so he made up his mind to call Choi Yeon to see if that bastard had done anything inappropriate.
As for Wei Tinghao's ashen face, it naturally became the butt of jokes between Tangtang and Zhenxiu.
Tang Wan could tell that Yang Cheng wasn't paying attention. "Young Master Yang, you seem to be thinking about someone else?"
Yang Cheng nearly dropped the piece of barbecued meat in his chopsticks. Sensing Lin Ruoxi's icy glare, he quickly put on a serious expression and asked, "I was just thinking about that Wei Tinghao's House of Wei. Does he have a strong backing?"
Tang Wan burst into laughter. "So you're daydreaming about this kind of thing. You didn't come out. I thought you were thinking about Miss Cai."
Yang Cheng secretly shot a look at Tang Wan. Lin Ruoxi is standing right beside me, are you trying to get me killed? There were already many things that happened today that would cause Lin Ruoxi to start a cold war with him. He couldn't afford to add insult to injury!
Tang Wan pretended not to notice as she continued, "Actually, it's not that big of a deal. House Wei is only a second-rate family in Beijing, but because Wei Buqun is the current head of the Public Security Bureau, and they have two direct relatives in the Public Security Bureau, they can be considered a rising family with real power. But compared to a young master like you from the Yang Family, it's still like heaven and earth. "
Yang Cheng pretended to cough a few times, "I have no intention of comparing myself to that kind of person. Let's eat meat, let's not talk about him."
As he spoke, Yang Cheng laughed and snatched a large piece of barbecued meat from under Tangtang's chopsticks, placing it on Lin Ruoxi's plate. "Honey, don't just pick up meat for Zhenxiu, you have to eat too. More meat is more beautiful to touch … oh no, look at!"
TangTang saw that he was unhappy and pouted, "Uncle! You're snatching my meat to please me, shameless! "
"It's not like you're the one paying. What are you yelling about? Roast another piece yourself!" Yang Cheng threatened.
Tangtang bared her teeth and elbowed her mother, "Mom, uncle is too biased. He's only picking up meat for Sister Lin, why not you?"
Tang Wan's gentle face blushed, "Unlucky child, what nonsense are you talking about? They're a loving couple, we're just watching."
"Tsk, you don't mean what you say." Tangtang spat.
Yang Cheng's face was embarrassed. He felt a little sorry for Tang Wan, but if he really picked up meat for Tang Wan, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences when he got home. He could only pretend to be deaf and mute.
Lin Ruoxi, who had always been unfazed by such matters, grilled the meat in silence. From time to time, she would put some food into Zhenxiu's bowl with her chopsticks, as if she was taking care of her own child instead of her younger sister. She didn't participate in the bickering, but the layer of ice between her brows that wouldn't melt made Yang Chen's heart numb.
First, he went to the police station, then he got jealous because of Choi Yeon, and then he bumped into Tang Wan who wanted to eat together. All of these were actually nothing, but Lin Ruoxi was involved!
Was he really so unlucky in Hua Xia? Yang Cheng felt that even the delicious meat in his mouth was bitter.
Fortunately, there were two young girls at the dining table, Zhenxiu and Tangtang. They were about the same age, and they were both mischievous and little devils. Although they weren't familiar with each other, they immediately chatted with each other, so the atmosphere wasn't too tense.
Just as they were about to finish eating, Lin Ruoxi's phone on the table vibrated. The woman glanced at it and immediately picked it up. She asked in a gentle tone, "Mom, what's up?"
The person who called was Guo Xuehua, who was at home.
Tang Wan, who was sitting opposite her, sighed faintly. She knew that no matter how much weight she occupied in Yang Cheng's heart, she would never have the chance to call Guo Xuehua "Mom" like Lin Ruoxi did. Regardless of age or status, she couldn't be a daughter-in-law. It meant that as a woman, she would always have regrets. Therefore, when she saw Lin Ruoxi talking to Guo Xuehua on the phone, there was a bit of envy in the woman's eyes.
Lin Ruoxi said a few words to Guo Xuehua on the phone, and then passed the phone to Yang Cheng with an indifferent expression. "Mom wants to talk to you."
