068: I’m Serious

The eldest uncle looked to introduce Wang Ningkai’s girlfriend to everyone, and to show off. Listening to gossip, the neighbors said that one of the two cars parked in front of the uncle's house was the brother's girlfriend.

"Dad, mom, can we not go?" Wang Cheng didn't want to go, because he knew his parents would be more worried. 

"Come on, your uncle rarely invites people. He was so kind to save our family a dinner, why not go?" Mama Wang said rightly.

Papa Wang listened to his wife.

Wang Cheng laughed, he liked his mother's character. Because they were going out, they couldn’t take pets, so the stupid pig was kept in the chicken shed.

The place where eldest uncle was treating guests was the best, most expensive restaurant in the Guan’s Village. It was not comparable to the big restaurants in the city, but the food in the rich restaurant was delicious, with a slightly more expensive price, but the food was very good. Some people hadn’t eaten in this restaurant yet.

Uncle settled the time for six o'clock. Others arrive early. Wang Cheng and his parents arrived on time. When they entered, there was a lot of noise.

Then Wang Cheng knew that his eldest uncle had invited dozens of people.

It turned out that most people had the mindset to take advantage. Uncle only invited adults, but they dragged their mouths, such as Wang Da who had a relationship with them. He and his wife were particularly able to have two sons and five daughters. Except for one son who didn't return, everyone happened to be at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They heard that the uncle was going to treat guests at a rich restaurant. These people appeared together, and some even brought their sons and daughters. There were about a dozen people in the Wang family.

No wonder he felt strange when he came in. Uncle and Auntie’s faces were so ugly. 

‘I guess they thought they would ask for three or four tables. Now they have to double it again. Seven or eight tables at the least,’ Wang Cheng gloated.

When the time was up, everyone was seated, and the family was sitting at the same big table. Some people took their children to the table because they brought their children and had to take care of them. The area was full of the sound of noisy youngsters.

Wang Cheng was at a table with other young juniors. There was the eldest cousin and his girlfriend separated on his right hand. At first glance, she was a very delicate woman.

Fortune Hotel had a good reputation and cleanliness. However, this woman started to abandon the chair before she sat down. The useless cousin quickly cleaned the chair for her, then washed the dishes and chopsticks with boiled water. He sill had to wait until his ancestral marriage.

Such a woman was definitely trouble to marry home, but her parents were good-looking and rich, most men are willing. A few men who were not married at the same table were jealous, and Wang Ningkai looked proudly at them.

Before dinner, Wang Ningkai introduced his girlfriend to everyone, and then introduced them to his girlfriend. One by one, until it was Wang Cheng's turn when there was a slight change in his tone, as if it had been deliberately accentuated.

"Lisa, this is Wang Cheng. He is the son of my third uncle, ranking second."

"It turns out that you are Wang Cheng, you look more handsome than I thought." Lisa scrutinized Wang Cheng, and listening to her tone, one knew that it was not the first time that Lisa had heard about Wang Cheng. And she may not have heard something good.

Wang Ningkai's face changed. His girlfriend praised other men as handsome in front of him, and it was his cousin who he did not like the most. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't get angry at Lisa. He actually looked okay, otherwise Lisa would not agree to associate with him, but he was far worse than Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng was stabbed like a pond fish before he even spoke. He was not the kind of person who would be boring. He immediately ignored Wang Ningkai and smiled at Lisa. "My parents gave me nothing."

Lisa laughed. "You are so humorous."

Wang Cheng thought to himself, ‘Who told you humor, I am telling the truth,’ but he didn't say this, he just smiled.

Wang Ningkai blushed, and it was estimated that he regretted introducing Wang Cheng. If Lisa looked at Wang Cheng, his efforts so far would have been in vain. Thinking of this consequence, he quickly interrupted and wanted to transfer Lisa's attention.

"Lisa, today's dish has your favorite abalone. I'll clip one for you later."

Lisa was not interested in the topic, and asked casually, "Are there any shark fins?"

The others immediately raised their ears.

Abalone was listed as one of the eight treasures in ancient times, but now there was some cheap, small abalone, which was not as big as rumors. Most families could afford them. Shark fins were impossible. Shark fins were taken directly from sharks. This thing will only become rarer. Unlike abalone, which could be cultivated by itself, the price was getting more and more expensive.

Wang Cheng didn't think that the uncle would invite them to eat shark fin, even if there weren’t so many people, he was afraid this dish had not been ordered for a long time.

"If you want to eat, I'll buy it for you." Wang Ningkai said lightly, avoiding a heavy blow.

"No matter." Lisa glanced at him.

Wang Ningkai didn't know if she was happy or unhappy. He quickly whispered a lot of good words, and she looked like she could not speak in a low voice.

The dishes were served together, and everyone began to eat politely. They talked while they ate, and they chatted in a heated atmosphere. Only Lisa frowned, and hated this and that. Wang Ningkai was busy serving her. He didn't eat much at all, but Lisa didn't eat much either.

Wang Cheng was not interested, but other people are eating very well. For example, uncle’s son and daughter. They were not short of food at home, but they came here to take advantage of the bargain, because it was an expensive restaurant. The dining table was in a rotating mode. Two people could turn in either direction they wanted, so there were always a lot of situations. For example, other people were still picking dishes. When the table turned, the dishes fell to the table.

Seeing this, Lisa didn't hide her disdain. Wang Ningkai did not feel embarrassed, but frowned antagonistically, and even whispered something in her ear to degrade his relatives to please her.

The two thought that no one heard, but they didn't know that Wang Cheng had good ears. Although they were separated by one another, he had already listened to the conversation between the two. Wang Cheng shook his head and could only use stupid words to describe Wang Ningkai. He couldn't help wondering how his construction company ran. Until now he hasn't been defeated.

Only some people were happy at the meal, and Papa Wang and Mama Wang also filled up their appetite. During this period, they listened to Zhang's constant touts to please the father and mother-in-law, and occasionally there were a few words of ridicule for Wang Cheng. If not for Papa Wang holding Mama Wang at the table, the meal might have ended halfway.

After eating, Papa Wang and Mama Wang left Fortune Hotel with the same feeling of disappointment. They knew that they would not like it there. Mama Wang regretted that some people couldn’t change their faces. She should have had this consciousness.

"Chengcheng, you will have to find a good girlfriend in the future. If you are like your eldest cousin, I will never agree." When returning home, Mama Wang felt uneasy and turned to educate Wang Cheng. Although she only saw Wang Ningkai's girlfriend a few meters away, she knew at a glance that ordinary people could not afford it, and their family could not afford such a 'big buddha'.

Wang Cheng quickly replied, "Of course, mom, you love me so much. I'm not that eldest cousin, of course, I have to find another partner to stay at home."

Mama Wang was completely relieved when she heard this sentence, and went back to the house with Papa Wang to call the eldest son and younger daughter and say a few words.

Back in the room, Wang Cheng was also relieved. It was enough to have a beautiful dinner with the family for the Mid-Autumn Festival. ‘Uncle and Second uncle were still fine, but don’t expect to have a beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival with them. Big brother and little sister are lucky.’

Just as he was thinking that, the phone rang. Wang Cheng’s thoughts wandered, and he connected it without looking. Chu Yifeng's low voice came into his ear, and he sat up from the bed at once.

"Boss."

After Wang Cheng shouted, he remembered that he was still in the cold war with Chu Yifeng. Of course, this was how he described the relationship between the two. Chu Yifeng didn't know what he thought about it, and he laid back leisurely when he remembered that.

"Why did you call me, didn’t you say you want to give me two days?"

"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival." Chu Yifeng did not care about his harsh tone.

Wang Cheng almost forgot to send a message of congratulations to everyone in the morning, and accidentally sent it to him. He waited nervously for his phone call. 

"You don't need to remind me, of course, I know it is Mid-Autumn Festival." 

Chu Yifeng seemed to laugh, "I want to remind you that tomorrow is the deadline." Wang Cheng sat up from bed again and sneered, ‘This attitude still wants to agree to be with him? He must be bad!’

It seemed that he could imagine the way that he was smirking. Chu Yifeng laughed repressively, just like his usual voice. Even his laughter was slightly low, but it sounded good, not to mention that Wang Cheng held the mobile phone against his ear. At that time, the laughter came as if there was an electric current, which flustered the ears.

"Boss Chu, just laugh. Tomorrow I will give you an answer that I am very satisfied with." Wang Cheng said in revenge, the threat in his words already obvious.

Chu Yifeng stopped laughing, "Wang Cheng, I'm serious."
