Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Classmates for Life

Although Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Ryu were not the sharpest tools in the shed, Yang Yu’s words had been so straightforward that if they still didn’t understand, it would mean they had no brains at all, not just a problem with their brains.

Chairman Wei was livid, his face twisted with rage, "What nonsense are you spouting? These are baseless accusations! Absolute nonsense!"

"Getting nervous? Your wife is even more on edge than you are!" Yang Yu sneered, "As soon as we came in, Mrs. Wei’s gaze towards Wen Jing didn’t resemble that of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, but more like a senior wife eyeing her junior, full of the kind of hatred that wants to eliminate the other but is unable to."

"Chairman Wei must have considered taking a younger mistress, but your wife wouldn’t allow it, fearing that children born of that union would compete with your son for the inheritance, right?"

"Your claims are becoming more and more absurd! Utterly unreasonable!" Chairman Wei’s face turned completely white, as he desperately tried to refute Yang Yu, only to find his objections weak and powerless.

Yang Yu didn’t care, and continued, "You want a boy to carry on your family lineage, without letting the ’family disgrace’ of your own son’s infertility become public. At the same time, to prevent Chairman Wei from finding someone younger, you concocted this scheme."

"If I’m not mistaken, you were planning to find an appropriate opportunity for Chairman Wei to stand in for Wei Shuhao, without letting the daughter-in-law know. Once she’s pregnant, it would be cause for celebration."

"What kind of era are you living in to still think like this? Are boys and having children really that important to you, enough to warp your minds like this?"

"Enough!" Wei Shuhao roared, nearly biting through his own teeth, "Go! Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves? Are you planning to stay here and continue embarrassing yourselves?"

That was the first and last sentence Wei Shuhao said at the Zhang Family’s home.

After he left, the Wei couple also took their leave.

Before leaving, they both gave Yang Yu a resentful glare, their anger was palpable.

"Poor Xiao Wei," Yang Yu sighed, "Having parents like that is truly tragic."

"Um... Wen Jing’s mother, our family has finished lunch, so I’ll be heading out," Aunt Ryu made an excuse to leave but was stopped by Yang Yu, "Aunt Ryu, matchmaking is indeed a virtuous act, but don’t just blindly introduce families for a bit of money without understanding their circumstances. Otherwise, those good intentions turn into irresponsibility."

"Hehe, yes, that’s true," Aunt Ryu perfunctorily responded and then slipped away.

This time, Yang Yu didn’t stop her.

"It’s time for lunch... hmm, where did everyone go?" Mr. Zhang emerged from the kitchen to find everyone had gone, which left him quite confused, "Weren’t they here for a matchmaking meeting? How come they left without even eating?"

"Uncle, they left, but I’m here!" Yang Yu unceremoniously took a seat at the table, giving Zhang Wenjing a cheeky grin, "Old classmate, I’m starving. Serve me up a bowl of rice, will you?"

Amused by Yang Yu, Zhang Wenjing immediately served him a full bowl of rice, "Go ahead, after talking so much, you must be really hungry, haha!"

Zhang Wenjing also had a younger brother and sister, both in high school and not coming home for lunch, so there were only four of them for the meal.

Mr. Zhang was a man of few words, a real introvert. He quietly drank his alcohol, but didn’t forget to pour some for Yang Yu as well.

"Thank you, Uncle. I have to take care of some business back in Tianhai later, so I won’t drink at noon," Yang Yu said with a smile, "When Wen Jing gets married, I’ll come over and have a few drinks with you."

"Alright then," Mr. Zhang didn’t press the issue; if Yang Yu didn’t want to drink, he wouldn’t.

"Xiao Yang, is it? You’re already engaged?" Mrs. Zhang asked curiously, "Aren’t you supposed to be in college at your age, or, like Wen Jing, only having worked for three years?"

"My family is poor; I couldn’t afford college, so I went to work on construction sites," Yang Yu did not shy away from discussing his past, "Later, my fiancée took pity on me and gave me some small business ventures. We’re just engaged for now, we’ll get married after the business grows bigger."

Mrs. Zhang said off-handedly, "So, you’re a kept man... I’m sorry, Xiao Yang, Auntie speaks without thinking sometimes, it wasn’t intentional."

"No problem," Yang Yu laughed, "The ’soft rice’ of my fiancée isn’t something just anyone can have."

The Zhang family of three: "......"

After the meal, Yang Yu got back into Zhang Wenjing’s car to return to Tianhai.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Yu leisurely closed his eyes to rest, feeling very comfortable.

Zhang Wenjing, however, couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly, "Yang Yu, why do you think parents who aren’t happy themselves still insist on their children getting married and having kids early?"

"It’s like buying another lottery ticket after the first one didn’t win; isn’t that quite normal?" Yang Yu said with a smile, "And besides, precisely because they feel unhappy, they don’t want their kids to end up like them. So they desperately try to pick the best partners for their kids when it comes to finding a match."

"But the truth is, if there were any good matches, they would have been snapped up by someone better than their children long ago. How would their turns ever come?"

"True," Zhang Wenjing suddenly laughed, "Just like you, for example."

"Me?" Yang Yu shook his head with a wry smile, "Let’s be honest as classmates, Wen Jing. The way I am now, with a bit of success, sure, but back then, neither Zhang Xiaohui nor you would have given me a second look, right?"

"After all, I was a star salesperson at a car dealership, dressed sharply, with a relatively decent job. And what about me? Drenched in sweat on the construction site, uncertain about my next meal, would you have looked my way?"

Zhang Wenjing did not respond, which was as good as an acknowledgment.

The harsh reality between men and women is often such that the love spoken of usually happens when both parties are fairly equal, a match in social standing.

Those love stories with great disparities are not nonexistent, but they are rare and often do not end well.

After a while, Zhang Wenjing finally sighed, "Alright then, I just won’t get married. After moving to the big city, I nearly look down on men from small places. And in the big city, finding a man who meets all criteria is incredibly hard."

"I’d rather not marry at all than to settle and live like a walking corpse, day after day. Better to be on my own, comfortable and free."

"As long as you like it, that’s what matters," Yang Yu smiled slightly, "Everyone gets only one life, so live it the way you want."

"Anyways, no matter how we all end up living, we’ll always be classmates for life."

Zhang Wenjing nodded repeatedly and smiled faintly, "Yes, classmates for life."

As they were talking, Wu Jing gave a call, "Mr. Yang, you had asked me to keep an eye on Wang Han’s release date from prison, to remind you. He gets out tomorrow, do you want to go pick him up together?"
