As if deliberately provoking this group of people who were in a fragile state, Yuanye also took the initiative to smile this time and said, "Brother, you really don't give us face. We are blood relatives after all, and you didn't even greet us."
Yang Cheng pointed at the goose feet on his plate with the knife. "Didn't you see me eat? You didn't even pay for greeting me. You, on the other hand, aren't you going to accompany Tangtang during her college entrance exams? "
Yuan Ye smiled shyly. "I wanted to, but my mom said that I'll play with Tangtang after she's done with her exams. Otherwise, she'll be distracted."
"Hmph, good-for-nothing. You're not even married yet and you're already thinking about your wife." Yuan Hewei laughed.
Yuan Ye shrunk his head in embarrassment at his father's words in front of everyone.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but smile sweetly at this heartwarming and funny scene. Her smile was like the blooming of spring flowers, causing those who were still in shock over Yang Cheng's true identity to stare in a daze.
Yuan Hewei then turned to Lin Ruoxi and said kindly, "Ruoxi, I know you're an introvert. You should contact your aunt when you're free. She likes you a lot. You're going to be the mistress of the Yang Family in the future. It's better for you to learn the rules early so you don't get flustered when the time comes."
The mistress of the Yang Family?!
This identity was yet another bombshell! Everyone's hearts were boiling with excitement!
Yuan Hewei did it on purpose. He was a schemer and could tell that Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin were intentionally looking down on Yang Cheng and his wife. So these few words not only revealed Yang Cheng's identity but also flattered him.
But in his heart, even though Yang Cheng wasn't going to be the mistress of the Yang Family, he felt that it was a done deal. Because Yang Cheng's decision to return to the Yang Family had already expressed his intentions.
Lin Ruoxi was also a little surprised that Yuan Hewei would say this, but she didn't want to say any polite words to decline. This wasn't something she could control, so she gently nodded and gently agreed.
Yuan Hewei didn't mind. He turned to the crowd and said apologetically, "I've made a fool of myself. It's only because I'm usually busy with work that I don't have the chance to meet my juniors, so I said a few more words."
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads. How would they dare to reprimand him? They were only worried that they had underestimated Yang Cheng just now and would suffer Yang Cheng's revenge afterwards!
Chris was puzzled. "I've always felt that Mr. Yang was extraordinary. So you're the grandson of the Yang Family's Elder Yang?" Even though Chris was an American, he knew the background of the four major families of Hua Xia. He could not help but exclaim.
Yuan Hewei looked at Yang Cheng. Seeing that Yang Cheng had no intention of hiding anything, he explained, "Yang Cheng is my biological nephew, which means he's the grandson of my father-in-law. He's the eldest grandson of the Yang Family. We were separated when he was young and only found him a year ago, so we might not be very familiar with each other. But he is indeed the blood of the Yang Family. It's just that the news hasn't spread too far. "
Hearing this, Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin, who were the most shocked, began to feel weak in their legs!
There were thousands of people with the surname Yang. Why was the eldest grandson of the Yang Family in front of them?! And the future master of the Yang Family?!
No wonder he gave away a priceless pocket watch. No wonder Lin Ruoxi suddenly married a nobody!
When they finally understood everything, they felt as though they had been possessed!
Li Jianhe's back was drenched in cold sweat. He was so stiff that he looked like he was about to cry. Holding his trembling wine glass with both hands, he looked at Yang Cheng with a smile that was uglier than crying, "You really … have eyes but can't see … I … I'll drink first, to the eldest young master of the Yang Family!"
Li Jianhe gulped down half the glass of wine in one large gulp!
Shen Yaxin did not dare to delay either. Pursing her lips, she said to Lin Ruoxi, "Ruoxi ah, we've been classmates for so many years. For you to be able to marry into a wealthy family like the Yang Family, I'm really happy for you. I'll drink first as well!"
As the couple spoke, they finished the wine in one gulp. They almost choked, but still forced out a smile.
Li Jianhe's intestines were green with regret. If Yang Chen really was the young master of the Yang clan, he could've easily slandered him. Not only would his clan's foundation in China be shaken, even his wife Shen Yaxin's clan would be in danger!
After all, the Yang Family was one of the four major families that controlled the core power of Hua Xia. To topple a family of bureaucrats would be child's play.
However, Yang Chen didn't intend to buy it after the two finished drinking.
Yang Cheng only glanced at the empty glasses in their hands and curled his lips, "What's the rush? I didn't even say I wanted to drink with you. Drink your wine, what does it have to do with me?"
With that, Yang Cheng ignored them and sat back down, cutting the goose feet with a knife.
Although Lin Ruoxi felt that this was a little too overbearing, as a woman, she had no choice but to follow her husband's lead. She sat down quietly, ignoring the couple who were standing there in a daze.
The scene froze in an instant.
The couple who had been the most glamorous a moment ago, the top of the pyramid, had become a laughing stock!
Despite being made a fool out of, the couple did not even dare to resist. They could only grin like idiots.
Yuan Hewei and Yuan Ye looked at each other, smiling bitterly at Yang Cheng's pranks. Although they did not think much of Li Jianhe and his wife, they would not humiliate them in public. To people of the upper class, this was worse than death!
Seeing that the scene was about done, Yuan Hewei and his son bid farewell and left. Before they left, they did not forget to invite Yang Cheng and his wife to have a meal together.
As soon as the father and son left, the atmosphere in the room became very strange. Everyone's attention was on Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi. As for Li Jianhe and his wife, they were already sitting in their seats, their faces ashen. If not for the last bit of face they had, they would have left immediately!
From the beginning of this gathering, the two had planned to humiliate Lin Ruoxi, who had hurt them in the past. Of course, that included Lin Ruoxi's' useless' husband.
Who would have thought that other than the initial glee, flaunting their wealth would become a wedding dress for others. Flaunting their status would push their own family to the edge of the cliff!
Everyone stared at Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi, forgetting to drink, forgetting to eat, forgetting to brag.
After a moment of silence, Yang Chen finally finished cutting the goose claw. He stuck a piece into his mouth and raised his head to look at the crowd. Confused, he asked, "What's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you eating? The food here is quite expensive. Eat more. "
As soon as he said that, everyone seemed to have been lifted from their petrified state. They came back to their senses in embarrassment and began to move their chopsticks.
It was as if the host of this meal was not Chris, but Yang Cheng.
Huang Lele's thoughts were the purest. After a moment of shock, she carefully said to Lin Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, it turns out that you are the one who has truly married into a wealthy family. It is the most wealthy family in the country … Is there a lot of rules to be a daughter-in-law of the Yang Family? Does he have any special power? "
Wang Haitao immediately pulled his wife nervously. How could she ask such a question so casually?
Lin Ruoxi was still not used to being looked at like this. She smiled shyly, "There is nothing special. I didn't know that he was from the Yang Family before. I only found out recently."
When everyone heard it, although they felt that the matter was very strange, they immediately flattered Lin Ruoxi at the right time. They praised Lin Ruoxi for having a good eye for talent. They also talked about how Yang Cheng conquered the goddess in the university with his charisma. They said that he was indeed the descendant of Elder Yang. The descendants of the Yang Family were extraordinary and so on …
As Yang Cheng listened, he was a little puzzled. He secretly patted Lin Ruoxi's leg and whispered into the woman's ear, "Wife, when I used to sell mutton skewers, did you really see that I had the deep and restrained noble temperament that they said?"
Lin Ruoxi almost stabbed the chopsticks into the man's nostrils on the spot!
Her lips moved slightly, but her expression did not change. Lin Ruoxi whispered in a low voice, "Eat your food. Don't mention your mutton skewers to me again …"
Yang Cheng mumbled a few times and could only continue to bury his head in his food …
The rest of the gathering was mostly people looking for opportunities to flatter the two of them. Unfortunately, Yang Cheng was there from beginning to end, devouring the food. He did not give them many opportunities to interact at all.
Lin Ruoxi came to the gathering mostly to give Chris face. She casually responded with a few words and did not pay much attention to them.
Perhaps in the past, she would have built a good relationship with these people for the convenience of business. Even if she hated these people who went with the flow, she did not care about what these people thought. But now that she did not lack an official background, she did not care about what these people thought.
When the meal ended, everyone stood up and escorted the two of them out of the private room, almost as if they were sending the Bureau Chief off.
It was a pity that no one dared to ask for Yang Cheng's contact information. But with Lin Ruoxi as his classmate, everyone's hope was ignited. In the future, they would use this excuse to invite the two of them more often. This was the best opportunity to build a good relationship with the future head of the Yang Family!
As for Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin, they had long since been forgotten, and had left the place with their tails between their legs.
After the two of them got out of the car, they said a simple goodbye to everyone and quickly left the hotel.
On the way home, the traffic had significantly lessened. The two of them sat in the car, Yang Cheng occasionally burping. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol, making them feel sleepy.
No one spoke. The hustle and bustle of the gathering just now was like a dream of the past.
Lin Ruoxi stared at the blurred night sky for a long time. She then looked at the man beside her who was focused on driving. Amidst the ripples of light, she reached into her bag and took out the Henry Graves. Once again, she studied it.
