Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 883: Chapter 532: Farce (Part 2)

”Fool!” Song Yaqin muttered quietly. All along, she thought her husband was already considered young and promising, but compared to this Chairman Qu, she felt a bit unbalanced.

Song Yaru glanced at her displeased: ”Big sister, we’re family.”

”I know, no need for your reminder.” Song Yaqin rolled her eyes at her and looked at Qu Yue, ”Chairman Qu, we are indeed very satisfied that you can personally resolve this matter, but the compensation due must not be shortchanged by a single penny.”

Qu Yue raised an eyebrow: ”Of course, if this is true, the Liangyou Association will give a satisfactory answer, but you still need to show me the actual evidence, right?”

”Ru, where’s the fly?” Wang Xianglan and Song Yaqin both looked at Li Ru.

”How would I know?” Li Ru pouted, ”It was originally in your hands.”

”Everyone help find it, sitting idly around is just too honest.” Wang Xianglan barked at everyone.

The situation seemed that it couldn’t be pushed forward without progress, and Wang Xianglan was considered the most deeply rooted in the Song Family background. Who knows when she might be needed, so as soon as her voice fell, everyone at the table helped to find the fly.

Yang Ming, visiting for the first time and as Wen Song’s secretary, couldn’t have missed the fishiness of this matter. But since he’s an outsider, he had no right to intervene. However, asking him to help find the fly was not something he would consider.

At the moment Wang Xianglan looked up, she happened to see Yang Ming leisurely sip his tea, and immediately her anger rose: ”Yaxian’s husband, you’re really something. Do you think that just because you don’t need to pay, you don’t feel hurt?”

Yang Ming had nothing else to say and could only smile: ”I don’t have it here.”

Wang Xianglan persisted: ”How do you know you don’t have it if you don’t look?”

Yang Ming calmly looked at her: ”The fly is dead, it’s impossible for it to have flown over here.”

”Fine, fine, fine, you’re really something. This is your first meeting, and you’re already so bold. What’s going to happen in the future?” Wang Xianglan pointed at him, her hand shaking with anger.

Song Yaxian patted Yang Ming reassuringly: ”Ignore her.”

”You all, you really are something!” Wang Xianglan looked at Old Master Song, ”Dad, I’ll say this first, if we can’t find the fly, today’s meal bill has to be fully split, calculated per person.”

Old Master Song glanced at her: ”Yaxian’s husband’s share goes on my tab.”

”Dad, no need, it goes on our tab, on our tab.” Mr. Song quickly declared.

Song Yaqin looked at Yang Ming with disdain: ”Don’t you have any opinion?”

Yang Ming slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He knew the relationship between Wang Xianglan, Song Yaqin, and Song Yaxian wasn’t good, but this targeting of him was too obvious, wasn’t it? He felt that he hadn’t done anything to offend these two people?

Song Yaxian whispered into Yang Ming’s ear: ”Aunt and big sister just want to put you down to show off Xiao Sen’s prowess.”

”Yaxian, can’t you say it to her face?” Song Yaqin provocatively looked at Song Yaxian. She didn’t know why, but seeing Yang Ming made her feel a sudden surge of anger.

Qu Yue crossed his arms, watching everyone: ”I ask you all, is there really a fly, or are you just making up a story to get a free meal?”

Wang Xianglan frowned and stared at him: ”Even if you are the chairman, you can’t talk like that. I can sue you for defamation, you know that? Moreover, whether there is a fly or not, your waiter can testify. If she didn’t see a fly, would she have gone out to bring you over?”

Wang Xianglan, in her menopausal stage, just felt a raging fire in her heart. Originally, besides Song Yaxian not having a boyfriend was something she was most proud of, but Yang Ming suddenly appeared, and he even looks more handsome than her son-in-law. How could she feel comfortable?

So, the original respect she still had for Father-in-law practically vanished as her anger gradually burned away her rationality.

As for this fly, it also served as an excuse for her to vent, yes, she didn’t lack money. Gaining or losing ten thousand or so wouldn’t affect her at all, but what she wanted was this feeling of gaining the upper hand.

She’s not stupid, how could Li Ru catch a fly out of thin air? She just wanted to use this excuse to stir up some trouble and assert her authority. She wanted everyone to understand that, in the Song family, the discourse power was held by her family.

As Ye Xuan and Ye Mo passed by the door, they happened to hear Qu Yue asking the others if there really was a fly, so they exchanged a glance and both stopped in their tracks, ”Mr. Qu, what’s the matter?” Ye Xuan asked.

”Boss Ye, it’s nothing.” Qu Yue waved his hand, ”Luoluo and Lianlian are in the next room.”
