Now that he was here, they could talk and accompany each other for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Lunar New Year approaching, such opportunities were rare...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about we move to my bedroom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei agreed. Although there was nothing inappropriate with them embracing in the living room, it would be awkward if guests suddenly visited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Yang Mei leaned directly against Luo Fei. In her own space, holding her boyfriend felt comfortable indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the kitchen, where Yang Tianyong was cooking, he coughed a couple of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you seen enough? Come over and help; this dish is beyond me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little rascal, keep your voice down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan, who had been listening with her ear to the kitchen wall, laughed as she approached and stood beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two kids went inside. Ah, they’re truly a match made in heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, our Yang Mei, her temperament, personality, looks, everything is good. Such a daughter is surely wonderful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And she found such an excellent young man, even better! Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young and promising, humble and courteous, reliable at work, with a good character, ah... truly wonderful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhao Yulan’s expression, Yang Tianyong shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just unfortunate that this young couple can’t be together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only our Yang Mei could work in the city soon, they would have more time and space together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Yulan’s sentiment, a change came over Yang Tianyong’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of this issue, I have to say a few words to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop making things difficult for Donglai; he’s busy enough as a team leader. It would be fine if he gets promoted smoothly next year. Stop pushing him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan’s expression changed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really sympathize with your brother-in-law; he hardly gets anything done all day and got transferred to the city thanks to Luo Fei’s achievements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your daughter has enough qualifications; giving her a hand is a small favor. If her uncle doesn’t care, who will?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhao Yulan’s tirade, Yang Tianyong was speechless and could only let her have her way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was the one in charge at home!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, there was a knock at the door; Zhao Donglai had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei and the others went out to help entertain the guests. While they officially had a superior-subordinate relationship at work, at home, there wasn’t much talk about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, dinner was ready, but at this moment, Yang Mei’s second uncle and cousin arrived late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Uncle, Aunt, I’m really sorry, got stuck in traffic and we’re late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao began with an imposing tone, smiling with a hint of smugness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem like he felt any guilt for being late, rather there was a haughty attitude about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all this kid’s fault, insisted on switching cars, so we got delayed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second uncle chimed in to smooth things over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was helping to explain, but was actually taking the opportunity to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei finally understood why Zhao Donglai had warned him beforehand; this second uncle and cousin were obviously not easy to deal with. Exchanging a glance, both he and Zhao Donglai understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, you’re just in time, not late, not late, come in and have a seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei took the opportunity to introduce Luo Fei, facilitating mutual acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second uncle was named Yang Tianzhi, and the cousin was named Yang Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious they had been scrutinizing Luo Fei since he entered, as if assessing a rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tianyong invited them to the table, and the second uncle and cousin immediately focused on Luo Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed their main target for this meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of status and background, they couldn’t compare with Yang Tianyong’s family. The eldest brother had long dominated, an undisputed fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So comparing the next generation became very necessary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cousin’s status, being an only child of the second uncle, naturally needed some flaunting. This family dinner was essentially a platform for them to exploit the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei, as Yang Mei’s boyfriend, was a significant status that spoke volumes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they say, a son-in-law is like half a son, making things equivalent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having Luo Fei there for comparison naturally highlighted the cousin’s capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone was seated, Yang Tianyong, as the host, rose to propose a toast, and everyone joined in enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a toast, Yang Xiao was the first to express concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, Aunt, how have you been recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All is well, although we’re getting older, thankfully, the children are all considerate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tianzhi immediately chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, ah, having considerate children is better than anything else. Isn’t Yang Xiao recently working on a new project? He’s been constantly on the go, hardly any free time, and I keep telling him that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this kid insists that a brave man roams the world, constantly striving outside. This child... hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could see it was pure bragging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And quite boldly, too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, I just returned from a business trip. The project I’m handling requires the introduction of new technology, and their project’s director insisted on gifting me something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A fine Hetian jade carving, Uncle, you’re an expert, have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tianyong smiled as he accepted it and took a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He indeed had a bit of an interest in this area, and it turned out they came prepared today.\u003C\u002Fp>",947,"2026-06-05T23:14:57.803Z",1,"novelbin.me","b060196cca5398d98feb2b34076b2d75ca9cfa49b792868664310fcab9bceceb","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-500","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-498",986,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-cover.jpg"]
