After Yang Mo returned home, he changed his clothes and was about to go out. Suddenly Xiao Gang came out of the kitchen and asked politely: "Where are you going, good son-in-law? Dinner will be ready soon. What's up?" It’s not too late to leave after dinner!”
Hearing Xiao Gang calling his son-in-law, Yang Mo suddenly felt an indescribable nausea, and said lightly: "No, I have something urgent to do, you can eat on your own."
He couldn't get used to the sudden change of words. His heart felt like something was crawling and he felt uncomfortable all over. He was still used to Xiao Gang calling him trash like before. Although it didn't sound good, he was used to it.
"Oh, nothing is more important than eating!"
Xiao Gang said with a smile: "What's more, Xiaojing will be back soon. During this time, I think you and your wife haven't had a meal together for a long time."
Listening to what Xiao Gang said, Yang Mo also found that since he started to manage the seaside KTV, coupled with the security job, he has been very busy every day. Every day has been very fulfilling, but fulfilling. Behind the scenes, I also lost time with He Xiaojing, so nothing can be done at the same time. When you are busy pursuing your career, you will have less time to spend with your partner, or even no time at all. .
He is also reflecting on this issue at the moment. How can he make reasonable plans to free up more time to accompany He Xiaojing? He wants to quit his security job but is afraid of losing face. After all, everything he has now is a favor from others. I am by no means a heartless person.
While Yang Mo was thinking, He Xiaojing also returned home from the company after work.
When she opened the door, she saw Yang Mo and her mother standing there silently. She thought Xiao Gang was scolding Yang Mo again as before, so she asked: "Husband, Mom, what are you doing? Why are you standing there?" Are you still motionless without speaking?"
"Daughter! Look, your husband said he had to go out for something urgent. I advised him to have a meal before leaving, but he said no, please persuade him quickly."
When Xiao Gang said this, He Xiaojing was stunned, because in her eyes, her mother wanted to drive Yang Mo away and divorce him as soon as possible, but what she said just now was not like that. Xiao Gang wanted to say something.
"Mom...you."
Seeing that his daughter was speechless, Xiao Gang quickly interrupted: "Daughter, look, since your husband took over Zhang Tianhai's KTV, he has rarely eaten at home, and he is often busy outside. I finally managed to find some time today, but you see, he is going out again, and I'm afraid that if you two continue like this, one day you will have conflicts."
Hearing what Xiao Gang said, He Xiaojing also felt that what she said was not unreasonable, not to mention that her husband was now successful in his career, and he was so tall and handsome. He would inevitably be harassed by the opposite sex outside, so take Lu As for Xiaoyu, she clearly knows that Yang Mo is a married man, but she always likes to tease Yang Mo when she is at work, and she often keeps in close contact with him on WeChat.
It is said that men become bad when they have money. This is indeed the case for most people in this society, because they have endured hardships since they were young. When they have a successful career and money, they start to enjoy all kinds of things. As the saying goes: "Wealth cannot be lustful." ". If you have money and you don't have a few beauties to accompany you as your right-hand man, what will you do with the money? This is the current situation in real society.
Although He Xiaojing said she didn't care, she still had some objections in her heart. After all, seeing other women hooking up with her husband all day long, no wife would want to see such a thing happen.
So He Xiaojing also persuaded Yang Mo: "Husband, you'd better stay and have a meal before we talk. If you have anything to do, don't be afraid to go late."
Looking at He Xiaojing's affectionate eyes, Yang Mo was hesitating in his heart at this time.
But he had already agreed to Tang Jinhui's invitation. If he didn't go, it would be a slap in his face. It was okay to go later, but it was not good to go too late. Maybe someone else had already prepared a sumptuous dinner at home and was waiting for him. Go, if the time comes, Yang Mo will have no face to face them if they keep others waiting like this.
After thinking again and again, Yang Mo still declined politely: "Honey, I made an appointment with someone tonight, so I can't break my promise, otherwise I will break my promise."
Yang Mo thought that the reason why Xiao Gang was so polite to her was that she must have known something, or his wife had already..., but Yang Mo had been pretending to be confused.
Without the help of Hong Tianba and Tang Jinhui, I'm afraid he would still be just a small security guard guarding the gate, earning a monthly salary of more than 4,000 and being scolded by Xiao Gang all day long. So no matter what, he can only be respected by others if he is strong enough. Otherwise it's nothing.
Then Yang Mo took out his phone and looked at it. It was already thirty minutes before the appointed time, so he had to hurry up.
"Honey, I'm leaving. I'll come home to eat when I'm free next time."
After Yang Mo said a simple sentence, he walked out of the door, leaving the mother and son alone in the hall.
He Xiaojing didn't say anything more. She felt a little lonely when she saw Yang Mo walking out like this.
Seeing his daughter in a daze, Xiao Gang came over and patted her on the shoulder and said: "Daughter, you should hurry up and have a child with Yang Mo. You see, he is a little more capable now, and he often stays out at night. , I’m afraid that many women outside will attack him in the future!”
When she heard that Xiao Gang asked her to have a child with Yang Mo quickly, He Xiaojing blushed, then turned to her and said: "Mom, please don't talk nonsense, Yang Mo is not such a person, I believe him, I also believe he doesn’t dare to do this.”
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Who is it, sister, do you have a child?"
By coincidence, He Xianghao, who woke up from his sleep upstairs, heard the word "child" vaguely in his mother's words as soon as he came down. He thought his sister was pregnant, so he asked.
Xiao Gang hated He Xianghao and cursed: "Where did you have a child? Where did you hear that? I told you to learn more from your sister all day long and go to work in the company, but you give me everything every day." I’m sleeping in at home.”
He Xianghao looked at her blankly. Maybe he was scolded by Xiao Gang often, so he got used to it, and then walked to the toilet.
At Tang Jinhui's house, Tang Xuemei was busy in the kitchen at this time, giggling while cooking. Yang Mo's arrival tonight made him very happy, while his father was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.
Tonight, Tang Xuemei wore a floral dress and tied her hair into two ponytails, transforming from a cool female CEO in the workplace to a fresh one.
Suddenly, the phone in his trouser pocket rang. I took it out and saw that it was a WeChat call from Yang Mo, so I put down the cooking shovel in my hand and answered it.
"Hey, are you here?"
"I'm near your house. Which building, unit and room number are there?"
"Yes, yes, I will pick you up after I finish cooking this dish."
"No need to trouble you, I'll go up by myself, just tell me the room number."
"I told you I'd go down and pick you up."
Seeing that he couldn't defeat Tang Xuemei, Yang Mo had no choice but to agree.
After the two finished speaking, they hung up the phone.
Downstairs, Yang Mo was sitting down where he last sent Tang Xuemei back. He picked up his phone and checked how many minutes were left. It was not considered late.
When Tang Xuemei brought the dishes to the living room table, she said to her father: "Dad, Yang Mo is here, downstairs."
"Oh, got it."
Tang Jinhui glanced at his daughter and said lightly, and then read the book. He was no more surprised or happy than when Tang Xuemei brought Jerry home.
When they were in the hotel, it was clearly him who called Yang Mo over, but he didn't show any excitement at this time. Seeing that he didn't say much, Tang Xuemei was very surprised that she was her father.
It turns out that Tang Jinhui did this to see how his daughter would behave next, and whether it would be as he imagined.
From his first meeting with Yang Mo and his subsequent interactions with Yang Mo, it can be seen from his words and deeds that this person is a bit shy and cannot express his inner emotions. He can be regarded as a loyal and honest young man. Therefore, Tang Jinhui Look at what my daughter does next.
After all the dishes were served, Tang Xuemei took off her apron and went out, got into the elevator, and went down to pick up Yang Mo.
Tang Jinhui also took advantage of his daughter's coming downstairs to go to his room and take out a bottle of Feitian Moutai and put it on the table. Then he sat on the sofa and read a book seriously. He wanted to test Yang Mo's drinking capacity tonight. , as the saying goes: Speak the truth after drinking. In addition, after getting him drunk, he wanted to hear what kind of person this person was.
A few minutes later, Tang Jinhui heard the sound of the key opening the door.
Then Tang Xuemei walked in followed by Yang Mo. After Tang Xuemei led Yang Mo in, she stopped first and said, "Dad, Yang Mo is here."
"Here, come and sit down! Let's eat together."
Tang Jinhui put down the book in his hand, stood up, took off his glasses and said lightly.
It's just that his face is expressionless now, without the smile he had when he invited Yang Mo to the hotel.
Yang Mo bowed slightly, smiled and said, "Well...thank you Mr. Tang for your warm hospitality."
"Just call me uncle. This is not the outside. It's different from being at home. Outside, you are called to outsiders. At home, you can be free as you like and you don't need to restrict yourself too much."
"Yes, what Mr. Tang said is..."
As soon as Tang Jinhui finished speaking, Yang Mo realized that he was changing his nickname again. He suddenly felt red and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Tang Xuemei on the side couldn't help but snicker when she saw that he was as gentle as a kitten.
Tang Jinhui stood in front of the two children like a parent and criticized them seriously. Then he shook his head and smiled and said, "Come over and sit down! Don't stand there."
In the living room, no one dared to say a word in the tense atmosphere, and Yang Mo was even more afraid, because he was facing a prominent figure, and the other one was his daughter.
It was as if I was just air on the dinner table tonight, without any sense of existence, but there was nothing I could do about it, because I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I came here with the attitude of giving it a try.
Tang Jinhui on the side saw that Yang Mo's eyes seemed to be filled with unconfidence, and then he thought about whether he had suppressed the atmosphere tonight, so he changed his face to that of a kind old man.
"Yang Mo, do you know how to drink?" Tang Jinhui asked.
"Yes, I will."
"That's okay, daughter, bring over two cups. Yang Mo and I will have a drink tonight."
"Dad, this dish has just been served? We haven't eaten yet, why do you want people to drink as soon as it is served?"
Tang Xuemei looked at her father, and then scolded him.
"Ah, yes, why didn't I think of eating first?"
"Go and serve the meal quickly."
After Tang Jinhui ordered his daughter to serve the meal, Yang Mo, who was sitting opposite Tang Jinhui, huddled up in a ball as if tied by a rope.
Thinking that she couldn't just wait for the master to be busy in other people's homes, she stood up and walked over to help Tang Xuemei fill the meal.
"I'll do it! You go and sit there."
"It's okay, I'll come, you and my dad can just go there and wait."
"It's fine."
Seeing that Yang Mo insisted on helping, Tang Xuemei glanced at Yang Mo who was next to her with her peripheral vision, her shy little face flushed.
Tang Jinhui silently watched the subtle contact between his daughter and Yang Mo. After the small exchange, a smile that he had never seen before appeared on his face.
He finally got Yang Mo right. If Yang Mo had been sitting here just now, he wouldn't be as happy as he is now.
It's possible that dinner won't last long before it's over.
The sophistication of people at the wine table that he has accumulated over many years of experience allows him to understand human nature based on a small movement. This is why he has been able to dominate the shopping mall for many years and remain undefeated.
After the two of them returned to the table, Tang Jinhui nodded with relief and said, "Thank you."
"Dad, why are you so weird today? You're not usually like this?"
Tang Xuemei saw that her father was behaving strangely today, so she asked casually.
"Really? Isn't dad always like this?"
"Forget it, it's useless no matter how much you ask."
When the two parents were talking, Yang Mo couldn't say a word, and he ate in small bites.
"Yang Mo, eat more, don't be shy, don't be too restrained when it's your first time to eat at my house, be more relaxed, we are all friends, of course you have to be happy when you come to a friend's house."
Tang Xuemei, who was sitting opposite, saw that Yang Mo kept eating with his head down, so she helped him pick up a few pieces of meat and put it in his bowl, and then said like a sister taking care of her younger brother.
Seeing this, Tang Jinhui also asked him: "My daughter cooked this table of food, Yang Mo, how do you feel?"
"Well, Mr. Tang, I think it's quite delicious. It's better than anything I make."
As soon as Yang Mo said this, Tang Xuemei, who was sitting opposite, was stunned. She seemed to have thought that she had an agreement with Yang Mo, so she searched more in her mind.
Finally, she remembered the last time she was so sad about Jerry that she asked Yang Mo to accompany her out for a drink, and she made a bet with him to see who could cook better.
Tang Xuemei looked at it and asked, "Do we still have an agreement that we haven't reached yet?"
"What?"
Yang Mo frowned and looked at Tang Xuemei suspiciously.
Tang Xuemei told Yang Mo word for word what she and Yang Mo had agreed to when they went out for a drink last time, and then he remembered that it was indeed the case.
Then Yang Mo said: "I'll have time next time!"
"That's okay."
"I didn't expect Yang Mo to know how to cook. I haven't eaten your cooking yet?"
"Mr. Tang, I will show you my skills next time. I hope you like it."
"Hahaha, I hope I can always eat your cooking in the future."
When Tang Jinhui said this, he obviously hinted that he hoped that Yang Mo could become the son-in-law of my Tang family and eat his cooking every day from now on.
