Chapter 882: A Gathering of the Rich and Powerful (C)
“Then, you are Lele’s boyfriend?” Although Huang Rongjin was a friend of Yang Ming, and they really hit it off, this involved his own sister. Huang Rongjin could not only consider these friendships. He had to plan for the future happiness of his sister, so his tone of speech had become serious.
Yang Ming nodded again and admitted it.
“Yang Ming, if I remember, didn’t you have a girlfriend?” After Huang Rongjin got an affirmative answer, he suddenly became a little angry. “What the hell is going on?”
“Brother Huang, there are so many people here. Let’s go over there to talk about it!” Yang Ming pointed to a corner.
Huang Rongjin naturally did not want to air his dirty laundry in public, not to mention his friendship with Yang Ming, so he had to give Yang Ming some face. They walked side by side to the corner.
“Now let’s talk. What the hell is going on?” As soon as Huang Rongjin sat down, he couldn’t wait to ask. He completely lost his calmness from the previous encounter in Song Jiang. The so-called concern causes chaos. It was related to his sister. Of course, Huang Rongjin would be a bit worried.
“How do I say it? Some words are hard to say…” Yang Ming touched his chin and then hesitated, saying, “Lele and I met on the plane…”
Therefore, Yang Ming recounted the process of meeting Huang Lele to Huang Rongjin. Because Huang Rongjin was not an outsider, Yang Ming simply said that Huang Lele had pushed him down.
Hearing that his little sister was so “formidable,” Huang Rongjin couldn’t help but widen his eyes like two big light bulbs. He looked at Yang Ming incredulously. “Then, you two got together?”
“I never give up on a relationship that I started. Since I have had that kind of relationship with Lele, so…” Yang Ming shrugged innocently. It could be seen that Huang Rongjin was no longer angry because no matter how he looked at it now, he couldn’t blame Yang Ming. Instead, he should blame his naughty sister. She actually did things without considering the consequences. She actually acted so boldly…
This made Huang Rongjin feel dumbfounded. His sister had never suffered any grievances since she was a child. Now Yang Ming was wronged. It was normal to retaliate against him. However, using this means of retaliation, it was hard to determine whether it was a revenge for Yang Ming or a benefit for Yang Ming…
“With that said, Lele knows that you have a girlfriend?” Huang Rongjin was very surprised that his little sister did not have any resentment at all.
“She knew it from the beginning…” Yang Ming said frankly, “However, we agreed to be just lovers at first, but after getting along for a few days, we have developed a feeling. We muddleheadedly became a couple…”
” Hahahaha !” After Huang Rongjin listened, he laughed heartily instead. “You two… forget it. Since it has progressed to this situation, I will not bother anymore. It is Lele’s own decision, then as her second brother, I naturally will not interfere again.”
“Brother Huang, you… Don’t you blame me?” Yang Ming didn’t believe that Huang Rongjin actually let him go so easily.
“Why should I blame you?” Huang Rongjin said with a smile, “It is Lele’s own choice. I can only support.”
In fact, it was not Huang Rongjin being lenient. The key issue was that he had always been listening to his sister. Now Yang Ming could not really be blamed for this matter. Yang Ming had said that he had a girlfriend. However, his little sister just forced him to have sex. How could this messy matter be counted against Yang Ming?
“Brother Huang, thank you for your support.” Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely.
“Okay, don’t call me Brother Huang in the future. Call me Second Brother like Lele. I still have an elder brother.” Huang Rongjin corrected, “Now we have to revisit the relationship between us.”
“Second Brother!” Yang Ming said this second brother sincerely from his heart. Huang Rongjin himself was older than him, and he was Huang Lele’s second brother, so no matter what, Yang Ming would not suffer a loss.
” Hehe , it seems that I racked my brain in vain this time. I also wanted to find a young talented boyfriend for Lele through the opportunity of the party.” Huang Rongjin said with a smile, “But to be honest, if you didn’t already have a girlfriend, I really wanted you to be with Lele. But what is the use of unwillingness now? My little sister has already given you a ‘cook raw rice into cooked rice’ [1]. It’s too late to repent.”
Yang Ming was speechless while looking at Huang Rongjin. Why is this statement so awkward?
“Right, Second Brother, let me introduce two of my friends to you.” Yang Ming suddenly remembered that Zhang Bing and Wang Mei were still waiting for him.
“Well, let’s go. Since they are your friends, then they are my friends too!” Huang Rongjin said, “I will not thank you for the things that happened in Song Jiang. If you need anything in Macau, just talk to me.”
” Hehe , I haven’t had any trouble for the time being.” Yang Ming smiled and walked to Zhang Bing’s side with Huang Rongjin.
……
“That is Lele’s second brother!” Over there, Wang Mei was pointing to Huang Rongjin and whispering to Zhang Bing.
” Eh ? How does my bro know him?” Zhang Bing looked strangely at Yang Ming, who was talking to Huang Rongjin.
“How do I know? He is your bro…” Wang Mei was also baffled. Logically, these two people should not know each other. However, they seemed to befriend each other. She thought that Yang Ming would not get past Huang Rongjin easily, but now it seemed that it was not a problem.
As the two people were talking, Huang Rongjin and Yang Ming approached them.
“Second Brother, let me introduce to you. This is my good buddy, Zhang Bing. That is his girlfriend, Wang Mei.” Yang Ming pointed to Zhang Bing and Wang Mei.
“Wang Mei?!” Huang Rongjin was overwhelmed by surprise today. Why do I feel that things are all messed up? Yang Ming became the boyfriend of his younger sister, Huang Lele, and Lele’s good friend, Wang Mei, became Yang Ming’s friend’s girlfriend! What the hell is this all about?
Wasn’t Wang Mei together with Liu Jihao? For Wang Mei, Huang Rongjin was still very familiar. Wang Mei was often asked to be a spy by the side of his sister, so he had seen Wang Mei’s boyfriend.
“Second Brother!” Wang Mei stood up with some embarrassment and greeted Huang Rongjin.
“It is really you. Wang Mei, how are you…” Huang Rongjin thought that he had an illusion. Now, he had greeted Wang Mei, so he determined that the person in front of him was indeed a good friend of his younger sister, Wang Mei.
“I broke up with Liu Jihao…” Wang Mei whispered.
” Oh …” Huang Rongjin nodded in enlightenment, but he didn’t ask much. After all, it was not appropriate to ask at this time. Wang Mei’s current boyfriend, Zhang Bing, was also present. Wouldn’t it increase the awkwardness if these things were questioned too much?
“Hi, Huang Rongjin.” Huang Rongjin extended his hand to Zhang Bing.
“Hi, Brother Huang, I am a good friend of Yang Ming, Zhang Bing.” Zhang Bing also extended his hand and held it with Huang Rongjin.
“We are all friends in the future. We will help each other if there is a need!” Huang Rongjin patted Zhang Bing’s shoulder enthusiastically. “In here, you don’t have to be polite. Call me at any time if you need anything.”
Zhang Bing even said, “You are welcome.” Wang Mei was more familiar with Huang Rongjin, so they did not exchange pleasantries.
“Brother Huang, you go do your things if you are busy. I have no problem here.” Seeing more and more guests coming over, Yang Ming felt inappropriate to continue talking with Huang Rongjin. After all, there were still many things for Huang Rongjin to take care of in a banquet.
Huang Rongjin indeed had to greet the guests, so he nodded to Yang Ming and walked toward the guests.
In fact, many rich children were not very arrogant and supercilious. Only a small number of people who were inflated in their hearts would make some very arrogant matters.
For example, Huang Rongjin, no matter his way of doing things or his character, they were superior, and there were no bad habits. It seemed now that most people who came to this party were like this. Their dress was generous, and many people were accompanied by a female companion. They were not here to pursue Huang Lele. Instead, they wanted to promote social relationships through this gathering.
However, no matter what class, there would be some black sheep. In many cases, people hated rich people because some rich people were too arrogant, but after all, they were only a few. Because these people’s identities were there, and even though they were only a few, it would make people feel averse to rich people when it was exposed.
If you looked at it from another angle, if the identity of a wealthy person who did bad things were replaced by a poor person, probably, even if people knew it, they would not react too much.
This was also the conclusion that Yang Ming had reached by dealing with some people. For example, Wang Zhitao did things blatantly. But people who had a similar extraordinary family background like Tian Donghua was much mature. He never tried to show off himself for no reason.
Suddenly, Yang Ming’s glance stopped on one person – Li Jialiang! This very unpopular person was the one who Yang Ming scared a bit yesterday. He did not expect Li Jialiang would come to be pretentious again.
Seeing his lewd look, he was most likely coming for Huang Lele. Then, Yang Ming looked at the pink-headed fat man by Li Jialiang. The fat man probably was not a kind man either.
