Early the next morning, Jiang Lai’s phone call came through.
Yang Yu glanced at his phone, it was only a little past eight o'clock. He hung up the phone and went back to sleep.
A while later, it came again. He hung up again. It came again. He hung up again.
Finally, he turned off his phone.
When Yang Yu woke up, it was already eleven o'clock. He got out of bed and returned Jiang Lai's call.
“You jerk! You bastard! I called you so many times, and you didn’t pick up!”
As soon as the call connected, Jiang Lai's roar came through.
“We agreed on lunch, why did you call me so early in the morning? Did you change it to breakfast?”
Yang Yu mumbled in dissatisfaction.
“I'm the employer, I call the shots! Come over now, I’ll send you the address.”
Jiang Lai didn't bother with him. She’d settle the score after lunch, right now, the most important thing was for him to show up. She was even thinking of drawing her name on Yang Yu's chest as a little surprise, but time was already running out.
Yang Yu wasn’t in a hurry. This was a destined awkward meal, if not for the kiss in the plot, he wouldn’t even bother. He made up his mind that after this, he was done. He’d get a kiss for free, so this was definitely a good deal.
Looking at the time, Yang Yu decided to sleep a little longer. He dragged himself out of bed and finally left for the meeting, arriving just before one o’clock.
Jiang Hao Kun, with a dark face, looked at Jiang Lai: “This is the boyfriend you want to introduce me to? He has no sense of time at all. Why bother having him come at all, anyway you'll be with someone else in a few days."
Yang Yu just happened to hear Jiang Hao Kun's roar as he walked in.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Jiang Lai’s face didn't look much better, she glared at Yang Yu fiercely.
Jiang Hao Kun snorted in displeasure.
Yang Yu sat beside Jiang Lai without a care.
“Why are you so late? Didn’t I tell you two hours ago?”
Jiang Lai forced a smile, gritting her teeth as she asked.
Yang Yu, without being shy, picked up the red wine in front of him and took a sip. With a pout, he acted cute:
“Oh! You won't believe this, but this broken place doesn’t even have a bus stop. I walked for over half an hour to get here, I'm exhausted! Next time, you'll have to find a place with a bus stop.”
Yang Yu didn't even bother with a draft when he lied. He had clearly just finished his phone call and went back to sleep. Now he was pushing all the blame onto the lack of transportation.
Seeing Yang Yu’s nonchalant lying, both Jiang Lai and Gan Jing laughed.
Only Jiang Hao Kun didn’t laugh. His face was visibly uglier, his lips were pressed together in a thin line.
“Come, let me introduce you to each other. This is my new boyfriend, Yang Yu. He’s adorable, right?”
“My brother!”
“My sister-in-law!”
Jiang Lai happily introduced the two to each other.
Yang Yu stood up smiling: “Sister-in-law, nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you!”
Gan Jing politely responded and nodded her head.
Then, she completely ignored Jiang Hao Kun, greeted Gan Jing directly, and sat down.
Jiang Hao Kun's face was even darker than before. He looked like he was about to rain down water.
“Ahem!”
Jiang Lai coughed twice and winked at Yang Yu.
“They don’t even want to talk to me, why should I bother? I’m not an idiot, don't I have any common sense?”
Yang Yu ‘whispered’ in Jiang Lai’s ear.
The volume was just right, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Jiang Lai couldn’t hold it in anymore. She sprayed the wine she just had in her mouth all over.
Gan Jing's lips curled up, she managed to hold back her laughter.
Jiang Hao Kun, trying to suppress his anger, clenched his fists so hard they cracked.
Today, I have two things I want to tell you all: “Firstly, I wasn't in a good mood a while ago and was acting recklessly. This meal is on me, consider it an apology. Just forgive me for my grief and don't hold it against me.”
After speaking, he poured drinks for everyone and prepared to toast.
Yang Yu saw that they were pouring him Baijiu: "I can't drink Baijiu, if I drink too much I won't be able to look for a job in the afternoon. Waiter, bring me a bottle of juice."
He wasn't a big drinker, and he didn't like Baijiu, so he found an excuse.
Upon hearing Yang Yu’s words, Jiang Lai almost vomited blood. She was paying him to sabotage her!
She glared at Yang Yu again, and then took over the conversation.
“Secondly, I found true love. What do you think, isn't he adorable?"
She directly wrapped her arms around Yang Yu and kissed him.
Yang Yu cooperated fully.
He was just playing along with Jiang Lai.
He wasn't taking advantage of her.
Jiang Lai's hand, unseen by Jiang Hao Kun, squeezed Yang Yu harshly, and she warned him with a fierce look.
Jiang Hao Kun couldn't take it anymore, his own sister kissing another man in front of him.
Did he, Jiang Hao Kun, look like a dead person?
Bang!
Jiang Hao Kun slammed his hand on the table.
“Enough, what true love? How did it become true love?”
“Who is he? You want a boyfriend, brother doesn't oppose it, but you need to find a decent one. Not just anyone can enter the Jiang family's doors.”
The siblings were on the verge of a fight, while Yang Yu didn't care. He already got the kiss he wanted, the most important thing was for him to eat and drink his fill.
He was sipping on his juice and eating food with gusto.
“Waiter, bring a large bowl of rice.”
“Sister-in-law, you eat too. Don't just watch.”
Yang Yu was eating while also urging Gan Jing to eat.
Jiang Lai covered her forehead, was he here to anger her brother or anger me?
How could he be so oblivious? He was like a starving ghost reincarnated.
“Look at him, such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, you actually brought him out to show me?”
Jiang Hao Kun pointed at Yang Yu who was stuffing his face, and loudly reprimanded Jiang Lai.
“So what if he's never seen the world? I like him! Didn’t you say that as long as I like him, and he truly cares about me, that’s all that matters?”
Jiang Lai retorted.
Although she was also unhappy with Yang Yu’s behavior, seeing her brother, who always remained unfazed in front of outsiders, become so furious, she was secretly pleased. The more angry Jiang Hao Kun became, the happier she was.
“Alright, I don’t have time to waste here. I have to go back to the company. Remember, don't let me see this person again, and you’re not allowed to associate with him anymore, otherwise, don't blame brother for being harsh. You know my methods.”
Jiang Hao Kun didn’t want to stay for another second. He decided to directly threaten her, dealing with a guy like this was simply too easy.
“I’m telling you, I’ve made up my mind. I'm bringing him home to meet Mom and Dad soon.”
Jiang Lai didn't care about Jiang Hao Kun's words at all. As long as Yang Yu stayed by her side, she didn’t care what he did.
