Tang Jiaming beca anxious, "Yang Yu, why are you comparing yourself to ? I’m just a worker screwing bolts in a factory, and you, a big boss, comparing yourself to , don’t you find it shaful?"
"It was you who ntioned first, how has it suddenly beco my fault?" Yang Yu was exasperated, "Since you know you can’t compare with , why did you insist on asking how much I donated?"
Tang Jiaming self-righteously said, "You’re a big boss, naturally you should donate more. When it ca to donating, you kept quiet, and when everybody donated under the class’s na, others thought it was you, the wealthy one, who donated!"
Yang Yu directly retorted, "How much I donate is my own business, what do you an I naturally should donate more? If you don’t want to donate, then don’t, one less or one more in the class doesn’t matter!"
"No one wants to take advantage of you, it’s simply that you don’t know how much others donated and are afraid of donating more yourself, just being petty, that’s all."
"Not wanting to donate but also afraid of what others would say, hence all these tricks, can’t you have so sha?"
Yang Yu’s words were so satisfying and resonated with many.
However, out of concern for face, no one dared to say much.
Yet, Tang Jiaming, void of any self-awareness, yelled in the group, "Everyone, co see, the rich are bullying us poor folks!"
Teacher Ding could no longer stand it, "Jiaming, stop yelling. It was supposed to be a good thing, but you turned it into looking like the school and teachers are forcing you to donate. I’m washing my hands of this, decide amongst yourselves, and leave out of it."
Saying this, Teacher Ding left the group.
"Everyone, please give your donations to Wen Jing. Whatever amount I donated is just part of the total from everyone. Don’t worry, I won’t use the classmates’ money for my own face; it’s all donated by our class together."
Yang Yu couldn’t bother with such people any longer and left a ssage in the group before choosing to leave it as well.
Being with such psychologically gloomy people, every second was torture!
Yang Yu had just got ho when Zhang Wenjing called, "Yang Yu, are you free to join back at our alma mater for the celebration on Saturday? It’s boring to go back alone."
"That’s fine," Yang Yu chuckled, "Let’s see if the school needs anything else, I’ll donate a bit more personally."
"Right, then we’ll set off together Saturday morning," asked Zhang Wenjing, "Will you drive, or shall I?"
"I’ll ride with you," Yang Yu replied, "Driving’s just too tiring, riding is much more comfortable."
Zhang Wenjing: "..."
After chatting with Zhang Wenjing for a while, Yang Yu wanted to lie back in bed and adjust his jet lag, when Shen Silin sent a ssage, "Yang Yu, soone is treating to dinner tonight, at your Jinmao Hotel. Six o’clock, make sure you’re on ti."
"Soone is treating?" Yang Yu was curious, "Who might that be?"
"Don’t worry about it, you’ll see when you get there," After sending this ssage, Shen Silin did not send any more.
"Won, turning a simple matter into sothing so mysterious, sigh!" Yang Yu muttered to himself, then rolled back into bed to sleep deeply.
At six in the evening, Yang Yu arrived on ti at the hotel’s private room.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Silin had already arrived. Besides them, there was also a man in his fifties in the room.
Yang Yu recognized him and couldn’t help but smile, "Mr. Sun, what wind blew you from Xiang Island to Tianhai City?"
This man was Sun Chen from Xiang Island’s Sun Family, whom he had t at the last antique auction, where Sun Chen had bought a phoenix crown supposedly to give to Mrs. Shen, but she had completely ignored him.
Unknown why, this ti Mrs. Shen had actually agreed to his dinner invitation.
"Here’s the thing," Sun Chen’s smile was quite infectious, "Mrs. Shen was having trouble on Xiang Island, and I escorted her back. To show her gratitude, she invited to dinner. After dinner, she told to scram back to Xiang Island."
"Haha..." Yang Yu burst out laughing; this was indeed in line with his future mother-in-law’s style of doing things, "In that case, Mr. Sun, feel free to order whatever you want, don’t leave with any regrets."
Shen Silin humd, "Yang Yu, and you’re telling him to order what he wants, don’t you know it’s you who’s treating tonight?"
"I’m treating?" Yang Yu was stunned, "I thought it was said..."
"I said soone is treating; that soone is you!" Shen Silin rolled her eyes at Yang Yu, "Mr. Sun helped your mother-in-law, if not you then who else will pay for this al?"
"Of course, of course," Yang Yu finally caught on, but he didn’t mind at all, "Mr. Sun, no need to be polite with , feel free to order."
"I’ve had too many rich foods lately, got a bit sick of it, let’s have sothing light today," Sun Chen didn’t take the opportunity to order lavishly, opting instead for so simple dishes, all from the least expensive selections at Jinmao Hotel.
Yang Yu had a good impression of Sun Chen, and this made him feel even more confident in his judgnt.
Low-key, humble, easygoing... Sun Chen possessed all the qualities befitting a gentleman, and was certainly soone worth befriending.
However, Yang Yu naturally wouldn’t let his mother-in-law settle for so ordinary dishes; he discreetly had Ling Ya tell the kitchen to add a few more dishes.
The four of them chatted while they ate, and Yang Yu couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, what exactly happened to you in Xiang Island?"
"I had my eye on a limited edition purse in the mall, was about to pay for it when a woman rushed over, snatched the purse and claid she had her eyes on it," Mrs. Shen grew more and more agitated.
"I wouldn’t relent, she tried to slap but ended up getting slapped by Xuan Liu instead. The woman left, and I thought that was the end of it, but then she brought the police, and they took Xuan Liu away."
"I t Mr. Sun just as I was about to visit the police station, and the woman backed down because of his influence, leading Mr. Sun to send us back here."
"So that’s what happened," Yang Yu couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Thank you for your effort, Mr. Sun."
"Don’t ntion it," Sun Chen smiled, "It also gave an excuse to visit Tianhai City again. I heard that the Tear of the Sea God will be auctioned at Yuxiu Auction House. I’ll see if I can buy it for the woman I’ve taken a liking to."
"What did you say?" Yang Yu was imdiately taken aback, "Tear of the Sea God? Being auctioned at Yuxiu Auction House?"
"Brother Yang, such a big event and you didn’t know about it?" Sun Chen was surprised, "This news spread across Xia Country yesterday, attracting collectors from all over the country and even many top collectors from abroad."
"Heh, interesting," Yang Yu couldn’t help but reveal a aningful smile, "I truly didn’t expect, the guy who stole the Tear of the Sea God, to brazenly appear in Tianhai City to offload the goods, impressive!"
