Chapter 649: Add Another One

Translator: VinceStar  Editor: PrisMiko

Sun Hongjun, a man who wasn’t eye-catching, wasn’t tall, and slightly balding, but he couldn’t hide his sharp aura. Indeed, this was the aura of the superiors!

Yang Ming was now gradually gaining this aura, but Yang Ming was very easygoing and had no seriousness, so it was well concealed.

However, Sun Hongjun didn’t need to conceal it. As head of Donghai’s Sun Family, it was useless to hide it. It was better to appear strong.

It seemed that Sun Hongjun, who didn’t have an extraordinary appearance, could have Sun Jie, such a beautiful daughter. It must be entirely due to Mother Sun. Although she was over forty years old, she still had good charm. It was noticeable that when she was young, she was a beauty.

Just that from whom was Sun Jie’s chest inherited? Aunty wasn’t as big as Sun Jie… Could it be that Sun Jie drank too much of papaya milk? Yang Ming thought evilly…

At the same time that Yang Ming assessed Sun Hongjun, Sun Hongjun also assessed Yang Ming.

The young man seemed spirited, but Sun Hongjun had always sneered at a man’s appearance. In his view, for a man with capability, no matter how ordinary he looked, he would be admired by others. On the contrary, if a person wasn’t capable, no matter how handsome a person was, he could only be a pretty boy.

Therefore, Sun Hongjun’s first impression of Yang Ming was nothing special. A person’s appearance didn’t reflect anything. It was necessary to go through his assessment to see if Yang Ming was a qualified son-in-law.

However, Yang Ming’s free and trifle attitude made Sun Hongjun frown. It carried a ruffian’s aura from the underworld so Sun Hongjun felt that Yang Ming couldn’t achieve big things.

After Yang Ming said hello, Sun Hongjun nodded silently, then said, “Old San, inform the maids to serve the tea!”

“Master, I have already assigned them to do so.” Sun San said respectfully.

“No need for so much trouble, Uncle Sun.” Yang Ming said faintly, “Uncle Sun, Aunty Sun, Happy Chinese New Year.”

Yang Ming didn’t know what Sun Jie’s mother’s surname was, but it was always right to call her Aunty Sun. She was Sun Hongjun’s wife, and also part of the Sun Family.

“Happy Chinese New Year… Hehe …” Sun Hongjun’s expression turned chilly. “We have already passed the fifteenth of the Lunar calendar. Didn’t the Chinese New Year pass?”

” Hehe …” Yang Ming was a little embarrassed.

Although Sun Hongjun felt that Yang Ming was very easy-going and closed, he was still displeased. After all, his impression of Yang Ming wasn’t good. How can he only be visiting after the fifteenth? Isn’t that too disrespectful?

“Your ego is quite big. You let an old man like me wait for a long time!” Sun Hongjun said coldly.

Yang Ming also noticed that Sun Hongjun was displeased with him, but he wasn’t the kind of person who liked to deliberately please others. Although Sun Hongjun was the boss, wasn’t Yang Ming the same? Hence, Yang Ming replied coldly, “Uncle Sun, Donghai and Song Jiang are close, but the distance is a drive of more than two hours. Chinese New Year isn’t like usual times. Whose family didn’t have special occasions?”

The implication of Yang Ming was that – I have my own things for Chinese New Year. How is it possible for me to leave other matters in order to come to Donghai and visit you?

When Yang Ming’s words came out, the atmosphere turned cold all of a sudden. Sun Hongjun was also surprised. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to actually refute. He couldn’t help but be dumbfounded! Sun Hongjun was a powerful figure in Donghai. Even the politicians who talked to him have to express pleasing smiles, but he didn’t expect Yang Ming to actually disregard him!

When Sun Hongjun was amazed, he was also a little curious. Does Yang Ming not know his identity? Even if he doesn’t know, shouldn’t he be respectful to his girlfriend’s father?

Not one knew but when Yang Ming vented the dissatisfaction in his heart, it greatly increased Sun Hongjun’s good impression on Yang Ming! There were too many people who usually tried to please Sun Hongjun. He was numb to it after all these years. There were very few people who dared to defy Sun Hongjun’s will. Even if there were, they would have disappeared from the earth.

Now, Yang Ming’s move made Sun Hongjun feel that Yang Ming was an unyielding character. At least with Sun Jie, Yang Ming didn’t have an alternate objective and he wouldn’t deliberately please Sun Hongjun!

However, even if Yang Ming was an unyielding character, it only moved Sun Hongjun to have a slightly better impression on Yang Ming. However, Sun Hongjun was most concerned about his individual capability.

“Yang Ming…” Sun Jie saw the atmosphere was cold. She looked at Yang Ming and whispered, “What did you say? Quickly apologize to my dad…”

Sun Jie certainly knew what kind of person her father was. At that time, with regard to the man who almost cheated her, Sun Jie heard that the man had vanished from the face of the earth. Yang Ming was the one Sun Jie brought here to pretend to be her boyfriend. She didn’t want Yang Ming to be involved because of her.

” Haha !” Sun Hongjun suddenly smiled. “Yang Ming, what you said was right. Who had nothing to do? What was the use to apologize?”

Yang Ming was slightly nervous when he blurted out such. His impulsiveness might ruin Sun Jie’s plan! Unexpectedly, Sun Hongjun actually laughed, which caught Yang Ming off guard.

“Uncle Sun, I had some matters at home, otherwise, I would have already come over.” Yang Ming found it inappropriate so he explained.

“No problem, no problem.” Sun Hongjun waved his hand and said, “Have a seat.”

“Great.” Yang Ming nodded humbly and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Sun Hongjun was sitting opposite Yang Ming with Mother Sun, and Sun Jie was sitting next to Yang Ming.

“Yang Ming… How about this? Can I still call you Xiao Yang? Do you mind?” Sun Hongjun took a sip of tea served by Sun San and asked.

“Of course, I don’t mind, Uncle Sun, you’re an elder.” Yang Ming smiled.

“You can call me Uncle Sun [1]. I’m much older than your father. Xiao Jie is six years older than you, and I only had Xiao Jie when I turned thirty years old…” Sun Hongjun intentionally or unintentionally, brought up the age difference between Yang Ming and Sun Jie. He wanted to see how Yang Ming viewed this issue.

” Hehe , really?” Yang Ming said in a relaxed manner. “I think uncle is still young, but since you like me to call you an uncle, that’s fine. It’s just a title.”

Then, Yang Ming changed the topic of discussion, so he acted as though he was surprised. “Xiao Jie, you are six years older than me? I thought she is younger than me!”

“…” Sun Hongjun listened to Yang Ming’s words. Suddenly, a few black lines formed on his forehead. This guy can really lie without blinking his eye. Did you really not know Sun Jie’s true age? But, since Yang Ming said that he didn’t know, Sun Hongjun couldn’t just say, “You are full of nonsense!” So, Sun Hongjun had to say, ” Hehe … you’re mature enough… and Xiao Jie is good at taking care of herself…”

” Oh , it turns out to be like this!” Yang Ming said as though he suddenly realized it, “They say, a woman who is three years older than her husband hugs the golden brick [1]. Doesn’t a woman who is six years older than her husband hold diamonds?”

This time, all the people in the room including Sun Jie was dumbstruck by Yang Ming’s words… almost all of their hair was smoking.

Seeing a room with eyes looking at each other, Yang Ming pretended as though he knew nothing. “What are you… doing? What did I say wrong? How about hug two gold bricks…?”

“Yang Ming, can you be serious?” Sun Jie kicked Yang Ming’s leg and whispered.

Yang Ming actually did it deliberately. Even though he was usually casual, he wouldn’t be like this. But Sun Hongjun said what he disliked to hear. What is with the woman being older than the man? How is it not good?

This made Yang Ming uncontrollably think of Xiao Qing, so Yang Ming purposely came up with that statement… If the woman is older than the husband by six years old, she would hold a diamond, how about ten? Isn’t she going to hold rubies or something like that?

” Haha , very interesting theory!” Sun Hongjun heard Yang Ming’s chaotic theory, but he also understood that Yang Ming wasn’t against a woman being older than the man from the bottom of his heart. He was assured in his heart.

What he feared most was that the age difference between the two was too big and there were no common topics to talk about, but it seemed that Yang Ming didn’t mind it at all.

“I heard that you’re also a Song Jing Industry University student.” Sun Hongjun asked a random question.

“Yes, could it be that Uncle Sun, you are, too?” Yang Ming replied.

” Pu… *cough *…” Sun Hongjun just took a sip of tea as he listened to Yang Ming’s answer. He almost choked himself to death. He coughed for a long time. “I am so old. What is the use of me attending university? If I was doing so, I would be at the university for the elderly! I’m talking about Xiao Jie!”

How would Yang Ming not know that Sun Hongjun couldn’t be in Song Jiang Industry University? But, Yang Ming did it on purpose. Because from a short glimpse, Yang Ming had already thoroughly understood Sun Hongjun’s temper. The old man was susceptible to pressure but not soft persuasion. The more polite or persuasive a person was, Sun Hongjun would be more displeased with the person. When a person appeared more casual, it would fit his temper more.

Yang Ming was actually quite accurate this time. Out of all of Sun Hongjun’s underlings, who would dare to talk to him like this? Moreover, Sun Jie was a girl who always became ladylike at home. It was impossible to make jokes with Sun Hongjun.

Therefore, Sun Hongjun was always envious when he saw other children and grandchildren chatting and enjoying time with the family. So, he wanted his daughter to get married and give him a small grandson.

Now, as Yang Ming made casual jokes with Sun Hongjun, he suddenly felt a lot younger. His heart was a lot more at ease.

” Oh , it’s Xiao Jie. I thought we are university mates!” said Yang Ming.

“Okay, before you, kid, say anything else, I have to drink water, or I will choke to death…” Sun Hongjun waved his hand.

Sun Hongjun had already recognized Yang Ming’s character. However, Sun Hongjun was the person who took care of the overall situation. It was impossible to recognize Yang Ming as a son-in-law because of Yang Ming’s casual conversation with Sun Hongjun.

After all, the Sun Family’s business was the highlight. Sun Hongjun was also afraid that Yang Ming was only playing with his daughter’s feelings and wanted to acquire the Sun Family’s assets. After all, the age difference between the two people was too big, so Sun Hongjun was very uneasy.

His daughter’s cheating boyfriend looked so honest, and yet wasn’t he aiming for the money of the Sun Family?

Therefore, Sun Hongjun was still very cautious about choosing a son-in-law. “Xiao Yang, I don’t want to hide from you. Beforehand, I did a simple investigation into your family. As far as I know, your family isn’t great. Your mother was laid-off while your father is a worker at the machinery factory. Do you think that if Xiao Jie had followed you, wouldn’t she suffer?”

“What do you mean?” Yang Ming also knew that Sun Hongjun would investigate him, but he didn’t understand Sun Hongjun’s intention.

“My assets in the future is for my nephew, Sun Zhiwei. If Xiao Jie is with you, then she belongs to the Yang family. Do you think you have the ability to make her happy?” Sun Hongjun explained.

” Hehe …” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Uncle Sun, I don’t know what happiness is in your opinion.”

Yang Ming was also a smart person, how could he not know what Sun Hongjun was saying?! Sun Hongjun first gave him a hint and told him that it would be absolutely impossible to covet the property of the Sun Family. Moreover, not only was there no advantage to take, but also Yang Ming had to support the Miss of the Sun Family… who was used to luxury since her childhood. What could Yang Ming actually do?

But to be honest, in terms of Sun Hongjun’s family business, Yang Ming really didn’t put it in his eyes now. Sun Hongjun’s family wealth wasn’t even on par with a fraction of Yang Ming’s own deposit at the Swiss bank.

Moreover, Yang Ming wasn’t tempted by the underworld forces controlled by Sun Hongjun. Currently, his own background was enough. With Li Qiang’s team, it was enough to challenge any force.

“Have great wealth? Have a house? Have a car?” Yang Ming looked at Sun Hongjun with a smile and said, “Or is it still about two people who love each other?”

“This…” Sun Hongjun didn’t expect Yang Ming to kick the problem to him! How could he know that Yang Ming was already a Tai Chi Master [3] when he was in high school. He always deflected others’ questions back to them.

“Of course, two people need to love each other. But at the very least, there must be a material guarantee.” Sun Hongjun thought about it. “You are just a college student. Do you think you have a material foundation?”

“What is material foundation? Money?” Yang Ming said, “To tell the truth, I don’t value it.”

Yang Ming was right. He didn’t put money as of great value. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just give more than three thousand yuan to Lin Zhiyun when he didn’t have much money.

“It’s not wrong to not value money, but in this world, there are some things that can’t be protected without money!” Sun Hongjun looked at Yang Ming and said word by word. Yang Ming was too idealistic in Sun Hongjun’s view. Yang Ming was a college student who didn’t get involved with society. Yang Ming firmly believed that love was greater than everything as though he had not tasted the hardships of life.

” Hehe , I said that I don’t value money, but I didn’t say that I didn’t have the ability to make money.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Uncle Sun, if you have investigated me, you should know that my current identity isn’t a real estate marketing planner. That’s just a temporary act. I have a jewelry company with my friend. Although I can’t compare with Uncle Sun’s family business, I think it is enough to support Xiao Jie.”

Sun Hongjun nodded. Of course, he knew the matters that Yang Ming spoke of. Although Song Jiang wasn’t in the scope of Sun Hongjun’s sphere of influence, Yang Ming’s jewelry company had made such a big move. It hadn’t yet opened and it was already well known in the industry. How could Sun Hongjun not hear about it?

Staring at Yang Ming for a long time, and seeing that Yang Ming’s eyes were without any hypocrisy, Sun Hongjun just let it go. He was afraid that Yang Ming had an alternate objective with Sun Jie. If not, then the rest of it was naturally good to discuss.

“Xiao Yang, you should also know what we, the Sun Family, do?” Sun Hongjun was most worried about the successor problem. He first deliberately said that he would give his business to his nephew, Sun Zhiwei, but he just wanted to see Yang Ming’s reaction.

However, seeing that Yang Ming didn’t care the slightest, Sun Hongjun was secretly relieved. But, he had some regrets. It seems that Yang Ming is a person who doesn’t like disputes. Can such a person lead Donghai’s underworld?

In his view, it wasn’t good no matter if Yang Ming fought for it or not. Sun Hongjun was a bit troubled. But, how could he know that Yang Ming wasn’t not fighting for it, but Yang Ming just found Sun Hongjun’s business simply not eye-catching!

Yang Ming’s own big business was comparable with the Sun Family. Moreover, Yang Ming’s character was that when someone offers him an inch, he would return a mile. Tit for tat was a fair play to Yang Ming. If someone offended him, he would retaliate.

When he heard Sun Hongjun ask him this question, Yang Ming hesitated and didn’t hide it. He said calmly, “I heard that Donghai’s underworld forces were under Uncle Sun’s secret control.”

“That is right!” Sun Hongjun didn’t deny it. He nodded and said, “Since you know already, are you not afraid?”

” Ha …” Yang Ming chuckled. “Why should I be afraid? Have you not seen ‘My Wife Is A Gangster’ [4]? I recommend that you watch it. That movie is very funny…”

“…” Sun Hongjun was speechless. Is Yang Ming really not afraid or does he have no brain?

“Just kidding.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Didn’t Uncle Sun mentioned that you wanted to leave this to Sun Zhiwei? What does it have to do with me? Xiao Jie and I will go back to Song Jiang, and naturally, we have nothing to do with each other.”

Sun Hongjun looked at Yang Ming, dumbfounded for a moment before he spoke. “Oh ya, you and my nephew, Sun Zhiwei, are classmates… It turns out that you know that I can’t pass my business to that wastrel… That is the case!”

Sun Hongjun had misunderstood. He thought that Yang Ming’s performances were all an act to get a good impression from Sun Hongjun himself.

However, Yang Ming didn’t like the phrase “that’s the case.” He was bright and upright. This old guy actually thought that Yang Ming was so cumbersome, so he said in sarcasm, “Uncle Sun, to be honest, I’m not interested in the underworld. As I say this, you might not like it. If it was so interesting to mingle in the underworld, why didn’t you do so yourself or rather, let the Tian Family take care of the underworld?

“In my opinion, the underworld is just a means to an end. In other words, it is a tool. This kind of thing, I didn’t really put it in my eyes! If I liked the underworld, I can completely mingle around in Song Jiang. Why would I have to go through so much trouble and come to Donghai?”

When Sun Hongjun listened to Yang Ming’s words, he was instantly triggered. “Young man, your ego isn’t small. From what you said, you seem to look down on the underworld, right?”

“I didn’t say that.” Yang Ming shook his head. “But I don’t think there is anything great about the underworld.”

” Hmph , did you mean that if you intend to mingle in the underworld, you can succeed? That is good!” Yang Ming made Sun Hongjun lose face, so Sun Hongjun said in anger, “I’m going to put my words here today. Don’t you think it’s easy and it isn’t great? Then, you go to unify Song Jiang’s underworld! I, Sun Hongjun, won’t waste any time and I will agree to let you marry my daughter! Otherwise, I will oppose this marriage!”

Mother Sun noticed her husband had gotten angry and she was shocked abruptly. Weren’t they chatting fine just now? How come it became a fight? Mother Sun’s impression of Yang Ming was still very good.

She didn’t have as many concerns as Sun Hongjun. In her opinion, if Yang Ming was easygoing and her daughter liked him, that was enough. So, she quickly diffused the situation. “Hongjun, aren’t you troubling this child?”

” Hmph , am I troubling him? This is what he said. There is nothing great about it.” Sun Hongjun said coldly.

“How much effort did you spend? How many years did it take to achieve Donghai’s current situation?” Mother Sun complained, “You asked Xiao Yang to unify the underworld of Song Jiang. Aren’t you pulling his leg?”

Sun Jie found this situation hard to diffuse. This Yang Ming, really! He is still so arrogant and chauvinistic. Can’t you bear it a little?

However, the surprise was that Yang Ming said indifferently, “Song Jiang, what is so great about the underworld of a city? Do I need to add another city? For example… Jidun City?”
