"Su Yang, that guy, is always up to no good, running around here and there. I didn't see his name on the scholarship list for Qingbei University last time, and he still has to ask his family for money. I say, why not just drop out? Our Yiyi didn't go either. Let Xingwei introduce him to a job, at least he can settle down."
A middle-aged woman sitting next to Zhang Yiyi advised.
The woman leaned back in her chair, her lips painted with bright red lipstick, revealing a disdainful curl at the corner of her mouth.
She was Zhang Yiyi's mother, Xu Yali.
She had disliked Su Yang since he was young. Later, when Zhang Yiyi was rejected by Su Yang, she spoke ill of Su Yang, causing Zhang Yiyi to mock her cousin with disdain.
"Hey, wife, you can't say that. Studying is Su Yang's only way out. What else can you have him do? Can his father arrange a good job for him?" Zhang Dafu said with a forced smile. "Speaking of which, why hasn't Su Yang arrived yet? Could it be that his blind date refused to come? Second sister, why can't your son even bring a woman?"
"He's almost here, almost here..."
Zhang Ning replied with a smile on her face.
But inwardly, she was angry and fuming: You little brat, where on earth are you! Wait until I deal with you!
"By the way, Xingwei, I heard you got promoted recently?"
Xu Yali changed the subject, no longer discussing Su Yang, and started talking about her son-in-law.
In her opinion, the son-in-law her daughter found was a truly high-class individual.
"It's not really a promotion, it's just a transfer within the company's management. The company president thinks highly of me and transferred me to the head office here in Songhai."
When it came to this topic, Chen Xingwei couldn't help but smile.
Being transferred to the head office was definitely not as easy as it sounded.
Privately, he had no idea how many gifts he had given and how much money he had spent to get through a manager at the head office, which allowed him to be transferred.
However, as long as he could be transferred to Songhai City, this money would be recouped quickly.
So he didn't feel any heartache for the expenses.
"Transferring from a branch to the head office isn't a promotion? Look, Xingwei is so humble."
Xu Yali said with a smile.
"That's right, my boyfriend is very humble. Unlike my cousin, who is clearly just a poor student but insists on going on a blind date, and even says the girl likes him, hmph~"
Zhang Yiyi linked her arm with the man beside her, speaking with disdain.
At this moment, the door to the private room was knocked.
Everyone turned to look.
They saw Su Yang push open the door and walk in.
"See, speak of the devil."
Zhang Yiyi glanced at him and then turned her head away, showing no respect at all.
However, Su Yang didn't seem to care much. His expression remained unchanged as he apologized to his relatives.
"I'm really sorry, there was a slight issue on the way, so I'm a bit late."
When everyone saw Su Yang enter, their first reaction wasn't to care about that, but to look past him towards his back.
"Didn't you say this kid also brought a girlfriend to dinner? Where is she?"
Zhang Dafu said unhappily.
Xu Yali immediately chimed in with mockery: "Did the blind date fall through? She didn't like him?"
"I told you to find a stable job first. A poor student, women nowadays want to find a reliable and dependable man. Which woman would like you now?"
Her expression slightly lifted, and the corners of her mouth curved, as if she were genuinely considering Su Yang's well-being.
"She went to the restroom first, she'll be here soon."
Zhang Yiyi shook her head and said with a smile, "To the restroom? It seems like my cousin-in-law is a bit shy. An ugly wife must eventually meet her in-laws, she'll have to come out sooner or later."
At this moment, Chen Xingwei, who was sitting next to Zhang Yiyi, stood up and greeted Su Yang with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Chen Xingwei, Yiyi's boyfriend."
However, the smile on his face seemed a bit forced.
Because normally, Chen Xingwei wouldn't pay much attention to students like this, let alone greet them proactively.
It was only due to the occasion that he showed Su Yang a friendly face.
"Hello, sorry for keeping you waiting."
Su Yang sincerely apologized again.
"So why were you late? Did you spend a lot of time trying to impress cousin-in-law?" Zhang Yiyi played with the cutlery in her hand, looking concerned.
"No, the road was just a bit far, and the shared bike was a bit slow."
Su Yang answered honestly.
"Ha? Cousin, you rode a shared bike here?"
Zhang Yiyi was stunned. "If I had known you rode a bike here, I would have told us in advance. I would have asked Xingwei to book a different place. Fortunately, the security guard at the entrance didn't kick you out."
"Zhang Ning, I have to say something about this."
Xu Yali couldn't help but sneer. "Su Yang, you're really something. If you can't afford a car, you can tell me, your aunt. At least I could have given you a ride, right?"
"Su Yang, this is where you're wrong. Couldn't you have prepared in advance if you couldn't get a taxi?" Zhang Dafu said sternly. "If it were just you, fine, but to have your girlfriend ride a shared bike with you, what would she think?"
"Dad, maybe that woman is already sick of cousin. Oh well, who can blame him for not having a car? My Xingwei is different. Later, I'll let you ride in his supercar home, it's super cool!"
Zhang Yiyi said in a sarcastic tone.
Hearing that her son had brought his girlfriend to dinner on a shared bike, Zhang Ning tapped Su Yang's head with a look of disappointment. "You brat, I asked you to go on a blind date and you took her for a bike ride? Couldn't you have taken the subway if you couldn't get a taxi? You really made her suffer."
"I know, Mom, I know..."
"Hmph, I won't bother with you here, I'll deal with you when we get home."
"Alright, alright, Su Yang, is your girlfriend ready yet? We elders can't wait for her forever, can we?"
After speaking, Xu Yali looked at the dishes on the menu.
When she saw the prices at the back, her mouth involuntarily opened wide.
How could it be so expensive!
Although she often frequented high-end places, the most expensive ones were nothing compared to this.
However, after her surprise, she turned her gaze back to the man beside her daughter.
She had heard her daughter say that this place was booked by her boyfriend. If that was the case, then he would be paying?
With this thought, Xu Yali's heart gradually relaxed.
Her gaze towards Chen Xingwei also became more and more amiable. Her son-in-law was truly bringing her honor!
"Should I go take a look?" Su Yang was also a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, Yang Mange shouldn't take so long to go to the restroom.
"Heh heh, maybe she ran off."
Zhang Yiyi leaned on Chen Xingwei and said, "Perhaps she saw how high-class this place is and used the restroom as an excuse, but actually slipped away, who knows?"
Just as she finished speaking, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned to look.
They saw a tall woman walk in through the doorway.
The woman was wearing a knit sweater, with a matching long coat over it. Her fair and delicate collarbone was exposed, exuding a captivating aura.
Although she was wearing tight leather pants that didn't reveal her legs, they further accentuated her graceful and hot figure. As she walked slowly, the gentle breeze caused her coat to flutter slightly.
Her outstanding aura was so captivating that it made one's heart skip a beat...
"Hello everyone, I'm late."
