C1260 Kowloon's Nest
Yang Chen nodded expressionlessly and didn't want to say anything more.
Yang Lieh didn't seem to mind. With a relaxed smile on his face, he walked into the room and his gaze quickly fell on Lanlan, who was being carried by Yang Gongming.
After a slight pause, Yang Lieh immediately smiled and said, "This is my precious niece, right? Her name is Lanlan? "Come, give uncle a hug."
Lanlan had a pair of big, black eyes. She had been staring at Yang Lieh ever since he appeared. However, when the little guy saw that Yang Lieh wanted to hug him, it quickly turned its head and grabbed Yang Gongming.
Yang Lieh stretched out his hands but failed to do so. He was frozen in mid-air and felt a little awkward.
"Lanlan, what's wrong?" Yang Gongming asked.
The little fat chick mumbled, "Don't hug …"
Guo Xuehua smiled happily. "Lanlan be good, this is your uncle."
Lanlan still kept shaking her head, her eyes showing signs of panic.
This scene made Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi slightly suspicious. Lanlan had always been in a daze and had great courage. She was not afraid of strangers and would basically not refuse anyone who wanted to hug her. It was rare for her to be so unwilling to be carried by a single person.
Seeing that he wasn't going to be hugged, Yang Lieh put his hands down and smiled coolly, "Maybe I smell alcohol. Children don't like it."
Yang Gongming looked at Yang Lieh meaningfully, smiled and said, "Alright, maybe it's because you don't like the smell on your body. Come, let's go to the inner hall to eat."
Everyone naturally agreed, except for Guo Xuehua, who felt a bit regretful. In her opinion, if Lanlan could be a little closer to Yang Lieh, then Yang Chen would also have some interaction with his younger brother.
When everyone sat down in the inner hall, Yang Pojun said in dissatisfaction before the meal even started, "Smelly brat, where did you go to mess around again!?"
"Dad, I'm just there for social meetups, I'm not fooling around. If I were to do it, how could I come back to greet my big brother and sister-in-law!" Yang Lieh said innocently.
Yang Gongming signaled his son with his eyes. Don't make any noise during dinner time, so he didn't let Yang Pojun continue to bombard him with questions.
During the meal, everyone in the room had to toast Yang Gongming. However, Yang Gongming spent a lot of time and effort on chatting with his great-granddaughter, so he didn't pay much attention to him.
Lanlan started to eat the roast duck, but was not afraid of anything anymore. Her small mouth was bulging, the oil on her lips was sizzling, and her appetite was so great that Yang Gongming was elated.
Lin Ruoxi secretly raised her head towards Yang Chen, indicating that she had made a wise decision to adopt Lanlan. This happy and harmonious scene of an old man and a young woman was something that made everyone feel worried.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, was suspicious of Yang Lieh's strange appearance. He didn't have much of a mind to stay at the banquet and could only reluctantly cope with it.
Halfway through his meal, Yang Lieh suddenly raised his glass at Yang Chen, "Brother, let me toast you. It was always because brother was immature, but this time, I hope brother can help me out when I return to Yanjing and change my mind."
Yang Lieh's words were bold and humble, there was nothing wrong with it. No matter how reluctant Yang Chen was, he could only raise his glass and meet Yang Lieh's gaze.
"I'm just an idle worker. I only know how to joke around, so there's no need to be polite with me."
Yang Lieh waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. I don't want to do things that normal people do, I understand. Actually, ever since Yan Buwen died, I've been thinking about everything I've done. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that I was too rebellious. I've always been open with you, and you've been lenient. I'm really grateful."
Hearing Yang Lieh's words, Guo Xuehua, who was at the side, had tears welling up at the corner of her eyes. She smiled and said to Wu Tie, "Yang Chen, did you hear that? Your brother is sensible now.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly. Everything seemed so beautiful, but why did he feel that it was unreal?
"Mom, don't worry, Big Bro isn't the type of person to fuss about nothing." Yang Lieh turned around and smiled at Yang Chen, "Big Bro, I met Cousin Guo Yue yesterday. He heard that you came back with Big Sis and wanted to see you today, so he didn't have the opportunity to tell you before."
"Who's Guo Yue?" Yang Chen was confused.
Guo Xuehua hurriedly said, "Silly child, surnamed Guo is your cousin, of course she's from mother's family. Guo Yue is my elder brother, your uncle's son. He's the same age as Lieh'er and works in the Audit Bureau. He's quite a capable child."
While they were talking, the servant's voice came from outside.
"Master, Young Master Guo Yue is here."
Yang Gongming laughed and said, "What a young man. He's really early. Let him in."
After a while, a well-dressed man wearing a white suit and a striped red tie walked in with a smile. In his hand was a hard wood box, as if he was holding a gift.
The man's hair was combed till it shone, and his face was white without a beard. He was only about 1.73m tall. Before he even arrived, his voice had already entered the man's ears.
"Aiya, I'm really sorry, I came early in a hurry. Grandpa marshal, don't mind me!"
Guo Yue walked in front of Yang Gongming first to please him, revealing an embarrassed expression.
Yang Gongming obviously knew his usual way, "Alright, alright, I've told you before. Don't call me 'Grandpa Marshal', it sounds weird."
"But you are the old marshal, my parents have always told me to seek more advice from you, it's just that I don't dare to be too presumptuous!" Guo Yue said seriously.
People aren't sages, they always like to listen to nice words.
Even though Yang Gongming had heard a lot of flattery in his life, he knew it was just a little trick when he was flattered by this junior, so he was happy.
"Marshal grandpa, here is a small gift. I didn't even think about it when I came. I hope you like it." Guo Yue took the opportunity to hand the box over.
Yang Gongming wasn't shy. He opened the wooden box and saw a delicate red tea box inside. There was only the signature of a seal, but no other engravings could be seen.
"The true Nine Dragons Nest's Great Red Robe of the Wu Yi Mountain. Good thing you didn't think of this gift!" Yang Gongming was also someone who knew his stuff, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes after he recognized it.
"I only took a sip of tea when I knew you were here. I brought it from a friend at the Wuyi Mountains, I never had the chance to see you off." Guo Yue handed the box over to a servant beside him.
Yang Gongming naturally liked this "King of Tea" that even if he was rich, he might not be able to get his hands on it. His gaze towards Guo Yue also became a lot more relaxed.
After flattering Yang Gongming, Guo Yue then looked at Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi. His gaze couldn't help but rest on Lin Ruoxi's face, which was a little difficult to move away from.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she was stared straight at by someone who should be called a cousin. Her face was flushed red, and she complained in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.
After five or six seconds, he suddenly laughed out loud, "This is Big Cousin Yang Chen, and Big Cousin Sister-in-law. When we went to Zhong Hai to investigate, I heard that the most beautiful woman in Zhong Hai's business was CEO Yu Lei, but unfortunately, Cousin Sis was too busy working and didn't get the chance to see it. Today can be considered an eye-opener, haha, cousin is so lucky."
After saying that, he covered up his embarrassment. His face was not red and his heart was not beating, so he didn't make any mistakes.
However, how could Yang Chen miss these few seconds of the real situation? He dared to have feelings for his woman, so Yang Chen no longer had a good impression of this guy.

"You know it's my fortune, so don't f * cking open your eyes for me."
On Guo Xuehua's account, Yang Chen endured the thought of throwing this thing out.
The atmosphere instantly froze. No one expected Yang Chen to be so rude. This was his first time meeting him.
Lin Ruoxi pulled on Yang Chen's pants in embarrassment. She was too embarrassed to cause trouble for such a small matter like this. Besides, it wasn't the first time she was being stared at. It was just that this time, it was her cousin who made her feel especially awkward.
Guo Yue's face turned pale. Seeing that Yang Gongming didn't have any intention of helping him, he knew that Yang Chen's position in this family was definitely not something he could go against. He said with a bitter face, "Cousin, don't misunderstand.
"That's right, Yang Chen. Praise your wife for being pretty. Family members shouldn't be too enthusiastic." Guo Xuehua couldn't help but add on. After all, one was her own brother's son, but she did hate him for not being good enough.
Yang Chen ignored him and continued to eat the crabs in his hands.
Guo Yue rolled his eyes and immediately said with a smile, "Cousin, actually, I also brought a present for you and elder sister-in-law. How about you come out with me and have a look after the meal?"
