Xiao Bing was dressed in white casual clothes and had a bright and noble aura. Caroline held his arm and they walked toward the crowd like a golden couple.
This time, Cohen Gambino was not the only one who looked upset. Even his son, Carey Gambino, had a change of expression. The others looked on as if they were watching a joke. Only those who had a good relationship with the Yith family and worked closely with them felt worried for the Yith family.
This was a blatant slap in the face. With such a slap in the face, it was as if the Yith family had completely offended the mafia bosses. They might as well not organize this birthday party. Many people were waiting to see how Kamble would handle this.
Kamble became a little flustered and said, "Mr. Cohen, this is something my daughter doesn't understand. Children are more willful. I will reprimand her properly."
Cohen Gambino shook his head and said in a slightly serious tone, "Kamble, I think you should know that the men of the Gambino family will never be unable to find a woman."
"Yes, I know, I know."
Cohen Gambino's eyes flashed with a murderous aura, and he stood up. However, his son, Carey Gambino, grabbed his sleeve and said in a gentle tone, "Father, it's Caroline's birthday today. Why don't you stay a little longer?"
Carey looked at Kamble and said with a smile, "Uncle, please don't mind him. My father doesn't mean anything else. He just wants you to give us an explanation. After all, we've never heard that Sister Caroline already has a boyfriend. Of course, I don't mind competing fairly with other men. This world is very fair. "
Xiao Bing glanced around and said with a chuckle, "I think I can already tell who is from the Gambino family."
The leaders of the Gambino family were all Italians, so it was naturally easy to recognize them. Moreover, after Xiao Bing appeared, the expressions of the people from the Gambino family would definitely be the worst.
Xiao Bing and Caroline walked to the dining table arm in arm. Ignoring the others, he looked directly at Kamble, bowed, and said with a smile, "Uncle Kamble, my name is Xiao Bing. You can just call me Lil Bing. I'm from Huaxia."
"Hmm." Kamble's attitude was cold and his tone was not very pleasant. "I understand. But I don't think they sent you an invitation to this birthday party."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Caroline invited me."
"Then go over there and find a place to sit down." Kamble pointed to the farthest table. Those who were seated there were those with the lowest status and were further away from here.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. I'll just add a chair here and you can sit next to Caroline."
Everyone found it funny. Even Caroline was trying her best to hold back her laughter. Kamble, on the other hand, was already dumbfounded from anger. 'Who's being polite with you? I don't want to talk to you at all. How can you be so thick-skinned and not know what's good for you?
Caroline ordered her men to bring another chair over and place it right next to Caroline.
The others squeezed a little, and then Xiao Bing and Caroline sat down together.
Xiao Bing hung the gift on the chair and did not take it out immediately.
After sitting down, Xiao Bing did not greet Kamble. He lowered his head and whispered to Caroline, "Caroline, you look so beautiful today. You look prettier than those big stars."
"Really?" Caroline chuckled softly. Her smile was very sweet.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Yes, after today's birthday, I will take you out to play tomorrow."
"Okay." Caroline smiled happily. She was really happy. Although it was just an act today, she could find an excuse to ask Xiao Bing out tomorrow.
When the others saw how intimate Caroline and Xiao Bing were, they were even more eager to watch a good show. Kamble's face became more and more gloomy. He was furious. Caroline was usually very sensible. He did not expect that Caroline would do this at such a critical time. She simply did not care about the future of the family. This time, they had completely fallen out with the mafia. He was afraid that the Yith family's future would be worse than it was now.
Seeing Xiao Bing and Caroline talking and laughing intimately, Carey Gambino was also burning with jealousy, especially since he had said in front of everyone today that he liked Caroline and Kamble had already promised to do so. But in the end, this happened. This was almost like a slap in the face in front of everyone. The reason why he insisted on staying here despite being slapped in the face was because he did not want to admit defeat. He wanted to know how he had lost to this person.
Kamble coughed and said in a heavy tone, "Xiao … Xiao Bing, right? Look at the seats where the most important people sit. Why don't you sit over there? "
Caroline said coquettishly, "Dad, isn't Brother Xiao Bing someone close to me?"
Kamble's face became gloomy and his tone became stern. He said loudly, "Caroline, don't be stubborn. What's wrong with you? Why did you find a Chinese as your boyfriend? I will tell you the truth now. This Xiao Bing, I don't care who you are. You don't deserve my Caroline at all. You and Caroline are not suitable for each other. "
Caroline said angrily, "Dad!"
Kamble stared at her and said sternly, "Caroline, don't be stubborn. You are still young. You don't know that there are many bad people out there who will deceive your feelings with flowery words. Carey likes you so much. Only a young man like Carey, who is outstanding and has a bright future, is the best hope for you in this life."
Caroline's eyes turned red and she stood up. Seeing this, Carey tried to persuade her, "Uncle Kamble, Caroline is still very young. It's normal that she can't see things clearly. You have to give her more time."
Kamble said, "Look, look at how sensible Carey is. Mr. Cohen, Young Master Carey, I'm sorry. I didn't teach my daughter well! "
Kamble stood up and bowed to Cohen. Cohen snorted and did not say anything. Kamble's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Cohen was still very dissatisfied. It seemed that an apology would not work. So his face darkened and he looked at Xiao Bing. He said, "You can leave now."
Carey smiled and said, "Don't worry. Mr. Xiao Bing, I want to know if you are a Chinese American or a Chinese?"
Xiao Bing's expression remained the same from beginning to end. When he heard Carey's question, he almost immediately guessed what Carey wanted to ask. He secretly laughed at Carey's childishness, but he said, "I am a Chinese from China."
"Oh, then what do you do in China?"
Xiao Bing said, "A small boss of a noodle house."
Hearing Xiao Bing's words, everyone around him burst into laughter.
A well-known boss in the business circle of New York smiled and said, "Kid, you should go back to your small noodle house. This is not a place you should be."
"Yeah, we all thought you were some big shot in Huaxia. We didn't expect you to be just a noodle restaurant owner. You should know your place. According to your identity, you don't even deserve to be friends with Caroline."
Another big boss laughed and said, "Young man, hurry up and go back to your small noodle house. Even in a big city like New York, it would be difficult for you to buy anything, let alone be a guest of the Yith family."
Seeing that everyone was laughing at Xiao Bing, Caroline was so angry that her face turned red. However, the Gambino family was smiling. At this moment, they also felt that Xiao Bing was no longer a threat to them. How could a person with such an identity be worthy of Caroline? How could he be compared to the descendants of the Gambino family?
However, Carey said with a smile, "Xiao Bing, actually, we don't have any ill intentions towards you. We are all doing this for your own good. With your identity, you really don't deserve Caroline. Do you know how much money Caroline has to spend on food and clothing since she was young? Even if you sell your small noodle house, you still won't be able to afford it. "
Caroline invited Xiao Bing to be her shield. Of course, she could not just watch Xiao Bing be mocked by these people. So she immediately retorted, "It's my own business. It's none of your business."
Kamble's expression changed and he shouted angrily, "Caroline!"
Caroline was not to be outdone. She said, "Dad, I can solve my own business!"
Cohen Gambino said in a serious tone, "Caroline, actually, your father is doing this for your own good. I believe you know the current situation of your family …"
Caroline's expression changed and she began to hesitate. No matter what, she was also a daughter of the Yith family. Her father had worked hard for his entire life. She could not ignore her family at all. However, she really did not want to use her marriage to exchange for the safety of her family's business.
Seeing that Caroline was hesitating, Carey smiled and said, "Caroline, I don't want to use any conditions to be with you. I really like you. Moreover, if we really get together in the future, the Yith family's business will be the Gambino family's business."
Seeing that the situation was turning for the better, everyone was waiting. Everyone thought that Caroline would definitely compromise, unless she really did not care about her family.
At this moment, Xiao Bing suddenly said, "Do you have to be so conflicted? If Caroline and I get together, the Yith family's business will be my business. Even if the Gambino family doesn't care, I will!"
Everyone looked at Xiao Bing as if they were looking at an idiot. 'Do you know how many noodle houses the Yith family's assets can buy? Hundreds or even thousands. You're just a small boss of a noodle house. What right do you have to care? You really don't know your place. '
Carey could not help but laugh. "Xiao Bing, are all Huaxia people so humorous? Can you care about the Yith family's business? How are you going to manage it? In terms of funds? But you're just a noodle house. How much can a noodle house be worth? Do you know how much everyone's gifts are worth for Caroline's birthday today? The gifts are worth more than your noodle house. Some are even worth two, three, or ten times more than your noodle house. What right do you have to care about it? Oh, right. You also brought a gift today. Is that it? Why don't you take it out for everyone to see? "
"Yes, take it out."
"Take it out for everyone to see!"
Who didn't want to please the Gambino family? Therefore, they were all teaming up with Carey Gambino to mock Xiao Bing. In their opinion, Xiao Bing would at most bring a piece of calligraphy and painting. Moreover, it would definitely not be a piece of calligraphy or painting from a famous artist. It was likely to be something from a street stall or something slightly better.
Actually, Xiao Bing did not know what he had brought. When he heard what everyone said, he knew that everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself. He immediately took out the scroll from the packaging and said with a smile, "Since everyone wants to see it, then I'll show it to everyone. Someone, help me unfold this!"
Kamble made a gesture, and two hot maids came from the side and took the scroll. The two of them raised the scroll high, and then unraveled the rope that was tied to it. A painting immediately appeared in front of everyone.
When the scroll was unfolded, many people gasped in surprise. Some even stood up. The people at the other tables also gathered around. Even Kamble was dumbfounded!
Only Xiao Bing was smiling faintly, as if he didn't care.
