Chapter 12 Hostility

Zhou Mubai met three generations of the Yu family in his old house.

The three generations of the Yu family obviously have their own characteristics.

Yu Jiangyue was in good spirits, with short silver-white hair and very energetic. She was quite enthusiastic when she saw Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai felt the spirit of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s in him.

The two brothers Yu Chengde and Yu Jiye have the style of elite businessmen. They talk and laugh freely, but they have a clear sense of boundaries.

As for the two brothers Yu Lingjiang and Yu Linghe, Zhou Mubai felt uncomfortable.

The two brothers were polite on their faces, but they were arrogant and hostile in their eyes, especially when Ling Yu frequently picked up vegetables and poured wine for Zhou Mubai.

As for Yu Lingyu's mother and aunt, their expressions were different.

Yu's mother looked at her politely, and the aunt's eyes occasionally burst out with contempt, but it was very obscure. If Zhou Mubai had not been observing her, she might not have discovered it.

Zhou Mubai didn't care. If it weren't for Xu Donglai's sake, he wouldn't have attended such an embarrassing banquet.

So Zhou Mubai drinks wine whenever he has wine and eats vegetables when he has vegetables.

He has extensive knowledge, outstanding eloquence, and can easily win a lot of luck by echoing his speech.

Yu Jiye admired Zhou Mubai quite much.

During this process, the two brothers Yu Lingjiang and Yu Linghe kept persuading Zhou Mubai to drink, and even went to fight with Zhou Mubai in person.

Yu Jiye sincerely persuaded him, but Yu Chengde was waiting to see the joke with a smile.

Zhou Mubai pretended to be drunk and blurred, but he had some understanding of the Yu family.

Judging from the performance at the dinner table, the old man of the Yu family should have already delegated power, but there are always some authority.

As the eldest son, Yu Chengde should have held most of the rights.

Yu Jiye has little say, which may be because Yu Chengde has two sons, but Yu Jiye has only one daughter.

This is the case with most Chinese-style families.

This is understandable, but what Zhou Mubai doesn't quite understand is why he always feels that the Yu Chengde family is a little hostile or vigilant towards him.

Especially the two brothers Yu Lingjiang and Yu Linghe, they took their foundation openly and secretly from the moment they entered the door. They tried hard to drink wine at the dinner table. They seemed enthusiastic, but in fact they had other things to worry about.

However, Yu Chengde stopped in person afterwards. He thought about the smell. Zhou Mubai seemed drunk, but he could always support him. His two sons' faces turned red. It was obvious that they could not drink too much. If they drink it, they would probably make a fool of themselves.

Xu Donglai had been kind enough to persuade Zhou Mubai to eat more food, but he didn't care much about the two grandsons' urging to drink, but instead had a smile on his face.

She remembered that when she was a student, the way for young people to celebrate leisurely was nothing more than gatherings, singing and dancing, and then drinking some wine to show that she was also an adult.

Zhou Mubai was the most popular young man at that time. Although some white elite children did not attack Zhou Mubai on the surface, they were still unwilling to accept it secretly.

Once at a school dance party, ordinary young white people made an appointment with Zhou Mubai to try drinking. Zhou Mubai couldn't help but face the fight, and drank eleven of them alone.

Girls admire heroes. At that time, Xu Donglai was a few years younger than Yu Lingyu now. He was naturally deeply in love with an outstanding boy like Zhou Mubai.

Xu Donglai, with silver hair, smiled and looked at his children and grandchildren to toast Zhou Mubai, which was both joyful and sad.

After dinner, after chatting for a while, Yu Lingyu was ordered to send Zhou Mubai back to the apartment. Anyway, Yu Lingyu also lived in the apartment, which was a coincidence.

Yu Jiangyue held his wife's hand, watched the car leave, and smiled and said to Xu Donglai: "Take a walk?"

Xu Donglai nodded.

The two of them took a walk slowly in their backyard and have been married for decades. Although their relationship is not extremely passionate, they finally respect each other and are now old together.

"This child Zhou Mubai is the grandson of your former old classmate. How is your old classmate now in China?" Yu Jiangyue asked.

Xu Donglai was stunned because she didn't know what to say about Zhou Mubai's family. Zhou Mubai is a species of immortality, and his family had long become gray.

"I heard from Zhou Mubai that my old classmate died young, and then Zhou Mubai's parents also passed away early. Fortunately, he was smart enough and smart at a young age. It is said that he entered the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China and had excellent academic performance, so he was recommended to Harvard by his senior brother."

Xu Donglai didn't dare to say too much, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.

Yu Jiangyue didn't think much and sighed slightly: "What a miserable child."

Inside the room, Yu Jiye and his wife went back to their room to rest, while Yu Chengde and his wife took care of their two drunk sons.

"What is this Zhou Mubai's origin?" asked Yu Chengde's wife Li Hui.

Yu Chengde shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It seems to be the grandson of my mother's old classmate. As for the situation at home, I don't know."

Li Hui hesitated and said, "Do you think the old lady wants to match Xiaoyu and this Zhou Mubai?"

Yu Chengde frowned: "It shouldn't be?"

Li Hui said: "I think it's possible that you haven't seen the old lady so enthusiastic tonight. The old lady has always been cold, and Xiao Jiang and Xiaohe don't have this treatment."

Yu Chengde frowned. He remembered that his mother had always been a simple person. Even if he and his younger brother did not receive much maternal love from his mother when he was a child.

She was always so rational and calm. No matter how she and her younger brother had a fight, she was never angry, she didn't beat or scold, and she always seemed to talk with a smile.

But Yu Chengde always feels that his mother doesn't love him, nor even his father.

There is something he always remembers in his heart. His mother has a secret box that he remembers seeing when he was very young.

But after growing up, I never saw it again, and there seemed to be some photos inside.

My mother never said or mentioned it, it was very mysterious.

In his impression, his mother looked cold, and tonight's mother was indeed a bit abnormal.

Yu Chengde nodded and said, "It's true that my mother is not right tonight, but it may also be because she is the grandson of an old classmate, so it's understandable that she is a little more enthusiastic."

Li Hui guessed: "Do you think Zhou Mubai's grandfather was the old lady's first love when she was young?"

Yu Chengde scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."

Li Hui said annoyedly: "I'll tell you what's wrong. I hope it won't be true, otherwise your plan to marry the district president's family will be stranded."

Yu Chengde frowned even more.

The district president is the president of the Food and Catering Branch of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States. Yu’s Chinese restaurant is planning to expand to big cities. If the support of the Food and Catering Branch is supported, it will greatly promote the development of the restaurants at home.

"This matter is not easy to deal with. My second son has always been not very interested in this matter. Xiaoyu also has his own ideas, so take it slowly." Yu Chengde said.

Li Hui snorted and said, "Uncle II is always a little uneasy. If he has a daughter, don't you have to contribute more to the Yu family? As I said, you just go to our father directly. If our father talks, the second uncle always needs to listen."

Yu Chengde shook his head and said, "It's not that level yet, otherwise it would be bad for Xiaoyu to feel disgusted. Okay, let's go to bed first."
