When the dishes were placed on the table, everyone's wine glasses were filled and they each drank a cup.
Father Yang smiled mysteriously and winked at his son, saying: "Shaoyu, didn't you bring back a gift for Qingmei? Why aren't you taking it out? "
Yang Shaoyu understood and hurriedly picked up a beautifully wrapped gift box from the side. He arrogantly glanced at Tang Zheng with a proud smile and said: "Qingmei, this is a New Year's gift that I specially bought for you. I hope you like it."
Governor Liu saw this and smiled knowingly, praising: "Shaoyu, you're too thoughtful. Qingmei, why aren't you thanking Shaoyu?"
Liu Qingmei wrinkled her brows and looked at Tang Zheng before shaking her head: "I'm sorry, I can't accept it."
Yang Shaoyu's expression slightly changed but quickly returned to normal and said: "Qingmei, I specially chose this for you. I'm sure you'll like it."
"That's right, this is Shaoyu's kind intentions. Qingmei, just accept it." Mother Yang also supported her son.
"Qingmei, how can you be so rude? Why aren't you thanking Shaoyu?" Governor Liu said with an unhappy expression.
Liu Qingmei snorted and remained unmoved. She pouted in a fit of pique and immediately fell into an impasse.
Tang Zheng gently drank a mouthful of soup and raised his head. He glanced at the gift box and calmly said: "Since you don't want it, then don't take it."
Liu Qingmei was his woman and no one could force her to accept something she didn't like.
Hearing these words, Liu Qingmei's eyebrows danced in delight, but the other people's expressions greatly changed. Governor Liu stared hatefully at Tang Zheng, this little brat really doesn't know what's good for him. Letting you sit here and eat is already giving you face, yet you still dare to mess around, this is too much.
However, due to his dignity as an elder, he didn't directly scold him and restrained himself.
Yang Shaoyu, on the other hand, didn't have the same temperament and immediately exploded: "Brat, what is the meaning of this? This is my gift to Qingmei. Who are you to tell her what to do?"
Tang Zheng glanced at him indifferently. He didn't like this Yang Shaoyu from the start. This person was too arrogant and acted as if everyone else should be a head lower than him. This was the style of many nouveau riche. He could flaunt his strength in front of others but if he wanted to do so in front of Tang Zheng and even have designs on his woman, then he really made a mistake.
Before Tang Zheng could retaliate, Liu Qingmei had already impatiently retaliated. She couldn't bear to see her beloved being looked down upon and provoked like this. She immediately glared at Yang Shaoyu and said, "Yang Shaoyu, what kind of attitude is this? Tang Zheng is my boyfriend, he has a name, not some brat, and my boyfriend has the right to decide whether or not I accept other people's gifts. “
Yang Shaoyu was suddenly startled as if he had been hit by an invisible fist. His face turned red as he indignantly said: "Qingmei, don't be fooled by his flowery words."
"Hmph, I know what to do. I don't need you to remind me." Liu Qingmei unhappily said.
Tang Zheng looked at Yang Shaoyu with ridicule and of course held Liu Qingmei's hand and said: "Qingmei, it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person. Don't be angry and hurt your body. Let's eat. You don't say, the food here is pretty good."
His appearance was like a spineless foodie who only cared about the taste of the food at this critical moment.
However, Liu Qingmei understood Tang Zheng's thoughts. He wasn't afraid of Yang Shaoyu. Even if there were hundreds of Yang Shaoyu, he wouldn't be afraid. He was just worried about the relationship between the Liu and Yang families and didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward.
But Yang Shaoyu clearly didn't appreciate it. He placed the gift in front of Liu Qingmei and said: "Qingmei, this gift is the latest handbag from LV this year. It's a global limited edition. Many socialites use this. I specially chose this for you, unlike other people who can't even bear to give a New Year's gift. “
Without a doubt, this kind of luxury was the favorite of many women. But Yang Shaoyu really didn't understand Liu Qingmei. This kind of nouveau riche style gift couldn't arouse her interest at all. Instead, it made her feel disgusted.
Tang Zheng's expression was calm. He wasn't angry at all because of these words, but the other person reminded him that as Liu Qingmei's man, he really didn't give her a New Year's gift. This was really a bit of a dereliction of duty.
"You're right. I really didn't prepare a gift for Qingmei. When we go back, I'll have to put in some effort to choose a gift." Tang Zheng looked at Liu Qingmei apologetically and said.
Liu Qingmei's heart warmed. She held his hand and sweetly said: "No matter what you give, I'll like it."
This was a public display of affection and a brazen slap in the face. She firmly rejected Yang Shaoyu's gift, but gladly accepted Tang Zheng's gift. The difference in treatment was too big.
Yang Shaoyu felt like he had been ruthlessly slapped in the face. He said with a red face: "Qingmei, don't listen to his bragging. He's just a student, what kind of gift can he give you? My gift is worth hundreds of thousands. It's a million times better than his."
"Is hundreds of thousands very valuable? This is the jade bracelet he gave me. It's a million times more valuable than yours. "Liu Qingmei raised her hand and a sparkling and translucent jade bracelet slid out.
This bracelet, whether it was jade or jade, was of the highest quality. If it was auctioned, it would definitely be worth several million.
Everyone present was either rich or noble, so they naturally had some understanding of the hot jade market. Mother Yang was especially passionate about it. Normally, the rich ladies would often study and learn from each other. With a single glance, they could tell that this was a top quality item.
Suddenly, there was complete silence. Everyone looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief. No one would believe that a student could so easily give out a gift worth over a million. Even Yang Shaoyu didn't have such a large amount of money. Especially since Governor Liu knew about Tang Zheng's family situation, he felt that it was a fantasy.
In fact, this jade bracelet's original quality was not so good. However, after Tang Zheng refined it, it was reborn and had such an extraordinary quality.
In the beginning, when Tang Zheng refined these jade items, they did not have this additional effect. It was only after his cultivation had greatly increased that he was able to refine them. Now, the jade items he refined were not as simple as simply engraving a set of arrays into them. Through the meticulous refining of the Nine Revolving Alchemy Furnace, the material was reborn and the defensive power of these jade items was increased.
This was also because when Tian Chanzi passed on the refining method to Tang Zheng, he figured it out.
However, these jade items could not be considered magic weapons. They only had a little bit of Fa Li. However, this was only temporary. Tang Zheng had already decided that in the future, he would diligently study the refining technique and refine enough magic weapons to equip the people around him.
Now, he already had a lot of cultivators around him, but there were too few suitable magic weapons. Without magic weapons, the strength of the cultivators would be greatly reduced.
In addition, the value of this jade bracelet had far exceeded the value of the jade itself. It was far from being something that could be bought with just a few million yuan. This was what the people opposite him didn't understand.
In the private room, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Governor Liu hurriedly restrained his shocked expression. He coughed and broke the silence. "Come, come, come, let's drink."
Yang Shaoyu took advantage of the situation and unwillingly put away the gift. He couldn't wait to immediately throw this bag into the smelly ditch. What luxury, it was just a f * cking waste.
He fiercely glared at Tang Zheng, but saw the two of them looking at each other and smiling intimately. They didn't put him in their eyes at all. He couldn't help but burn with jealousy. His pupils seemed to be about to spit out fire.
Father Yang was also a smart person. He didn't want to be entangled with the gift issue. He hurriedly called for them to drink. "Tang Zheng, come, let's drink a few cups."
He was prepared to get Tang Zheng drunk and let him make a fool of himself in front of Liu Qingmei. He even wanted to say nonsense and reveal his true colors.
Father Yang thought that after being in the business world for so many years, he could easily win against this young man in drinking.
Yang Shaoyu obviously guessed his father's thoughts. He smiled sinisterly and raised his wine cup. "Yes, how can we not drink during the New Year? Tang Zheng, don't tell me you don't dare to drink?"
Provocation.
He didn't believe that Tang Zheng wouldn't fall for it.
Sure enough, Tang Zheng raised his wine cup and said, "Okay, but I'll toast to Uncle Liu first."
In Tang Zheng's eyes, the three people of the Yang family were insignificant. However, he didn't want to neglect Liu Qingmei's father. His grandfather had taught him to respect the old and love the young since he was young.
Governor Liu looked at Tang Zheng with a complicated expression. It seemed that after half a year, he couldn't see through this young man anymore. His eyes were so deep, and the temperament that occasionally leaked out made him, a superior, couldn't help but be moved.
However, these were all insignificant. If Tang Zheng dared to have ideas about his daughter, then he would make a fool of himself.
Governor Liu also saw through Father Yang's thoughts, but he didn't point it out. This was because his goal was the same as the other party's. He wanted to expose Tang Zheng's true colors and let his daughter know that she was wrong.
"Okay, but young people are the future of the motherland. How can one cup be enough? Three cups." Governor Liu said.
Tang Zheng's expression didn't change as he lightly nodded, "Then we'll do as Uncle Liu says."
After each of them drank three cups, the two of them didn't have any reaction. Governor Liu was testing them with alcohol, so of course he wouldn't have any reaction. These three hundred cups were equivalent to 200 grams of white wine, and they drank it so quickly. However, Tang Zheng didn't have any reaction, which meant that his alcohol tolerance wasn't low.
But this didn't matter. So what if he had a high alcohol tolerance? He would still be defeated in a tag-team battle.
As a result, the three people of the Yang family began a tag-team battle. Even Mother Yang personally participated in the battle for her son's happiness.
Liu Qingmei was originally going to stop them, but when she saw the faint smile on Tang Zheng's face, she knew that he was fine and didn't say anything. Since you want to trick Tang Zheng, then let's see who wins and who loses.
The father and daughter of the Liu family watched as the four people drank cup after cup of white wine. The table was already filled with empty wine bottles.
Tang Zheng's expression didn't change, but the faces of the three people in front of him were already as red as peach blossoms. Mother Yang was already lying on the table, and Yang Shaoyu was swaying as if he was sitting on a boat. His tongue had also become big, and he was actually wantonly bragging about his experiences in the Western Empire, especially the glorious deeds of shuttling through the many western beauties.
Father Yang still had a bit of a wolf left in him. When he heard his son's drunken words, he inwardly cursed and looked across the table. Sure enough, Governor Liu's face was already dark.
Father Yang hurriedly pulled his son back, wanting to stop him, but Yang Shaoyu continued to boast shamelessly: "Dad, let me say it. I want to let this brat know how powerful I am. Qingmei is mine. Who does he think he is? He wants to steal my woman? Dream on."
As he spoke, his body swayed and fell back, bringing Father Yang with him to the ground.
Governor Liu was flabbergasted. Liu Qingmei heartlessly laughed and affectionately held onto Tang Zheng's arm. Tang Zheng gently put down his wine glass and lightly said: "You're drunk so quickly? You're too weak."
