Chapter 796: You Still Have Face?

Because of Li Ye's words, Huang Gang was dazed. Even when the banquet started, he was still distracted from time to time.

And his group of brothers, seeing their big brother's absent-minded appearance, mistakenly thought it was because his sister was married, but he was still alone, so he was feeling sorry for himself.

So these brothers began to ridicule Huang Gang.

"Brother Gang, come over and have a drink with the brothers! What are you distracted about on such a happy day? Don't tell me you're thinking of Xiaoqing again?"

"I don't think so. Brother Gang should be thinking of the Jade Rabbit Spirit. I even saw him smiling foolishly at the Jade Rabbit Spirit on the calendar the other day."

"Go, go, go. Can't such good wine fill your mouths? Don't you see I'm busy here?"

"Hahahaha, Brother Gang still won't admit it! Let's not disturb him thinking about his wife; let's drink!"

"..."

A group of thick-skinned, bad friends saw Huang Gang's awkward appearance and laughed loudly, as if they were enjoying a very funny joke.

And Huang Gang, looking at these friends who were shouting and eating and drinking, suddenly felt a bit dull.

In the past, Huang Gang liked to drink with friends, whether they were familiar, not very familiar, or even complete strangers. As long as everyone had a "jianghu" (underworld) in their hearts, they could drink from big bowls and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

Otherwise, why was the *Young and Dangerous* series so popular in the eighties? It just met the psychological needs of this generation!

But Huang Gang, looking at this group of brothers again, suddenly began to wonder if he would live his whole life in such a silly, brainless way.

"Manager Wang, oh my, I'm really sorry. I went to get your wedding gift today, but something went wrong, and I almost didn't make it to your banquet. It's a sin, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry!"

A familiar voice sounded at the hotel entrance, attracting Huang Gang to look over.

It was actually Duoxing, Uncle Duo.

Today's Uncle Duo was not the Uncle Duo who couldn't light the honeycomb coal stove and kicked it over in anger.

Now he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking quite dapper, with two followers behind him, and also had a young woman on his arm.

And the followers behind him were carrying a pair of gift boxes, which were obviously wedding gifts for Wang Jianqiang.

Huang Gang couldn't help but smack his teeth.

He looked down on people like Duoxing, and besides, when Duoxing shamelessly defected to Li Ye, Li Ye didn't even look at him and assigned him to the system of Old Song and Tan Min, which was several layers lower than Wang Jianqiang, Li Ye's direct subordinate.

And almost at the same time, Wang Jianqiang invited Duoxing to "come over and help," with an attitude much better than the one toward Duoxing.

But Duoxing felt it wasn't appropriate to take advantage of his brother-in-law, so he had been mixing on his own.

But look at how Uncle Duo is doing now; not only has he become Boss Duo, but he also married a college student as his wife. It is said that his wife speaks English very fluently, and he doesn't even need to bring an interpreter when going abroad for inspections.

Wang Jianqiang was already used to Duoxing's style, so he smiled and said, "Yo, Boss Duo coming is giving me face. If you say anything about it being a sin, isn't that being distant? Please come in, please come in, I've saved a seat for you!"

"Eh, eh, eh, let me register the gift first, register the gift, hahahaha~"

Duoxing smiled and walked to the accounting room to register the gift, with a thick stack of gray hundred-yuan bills, estimated to be around ten thousand yuan.

Huang Gang's eyelids jumped, and he knew by intuition that something bad was going to happen later. Sure enough, before Huang Gang could hide, his mother, Huang Xiujuan, came over with a dark face and grabbed him to the side.

"Look at Qiangzi's friends. We won't discuss how much money they gave, but not one of them came empty-handed."

"Look at your fox friends again. Nine tables were opened, and thirty-eight gift money envelopes were given. Aren't you ashamed?"

Huang Gang hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "No, Mom, you also know that some of my friends are a bit wealthy, and some are not very well-off. Anyway, it's our own restaurant, so it's guaranteed to break even..."

Huang Xiujuan glared, her voice raised by eight degrees: "If they aren't well-off, why is their mouth so well-off? One or two jin can't fill them. If they get drunk, that's fine, but if they drink themselves to death, that's your sin."

Huang Gang was so anxious he almost covered his mother's mouth: "Mom, Mom, Mom, my dear mother, can you lower your voice? Give me some face at least..."

Huang Xiujuan was so angry she slapped Huang Gang's hand away and said hatefully, "You still have face? You're almost thirty and don't even have a proper wife. Look at that Duoxing; he used to be a good-for-nothing, but look at him now, he's got a college student wife."

"What about you? Do you want to marry that Xiaoqing, or do you want to marry the Jade Rabbit Spirit? I'm telling you, Gangzi, if you dare to marry that kind of monster, I'll hit my head against the south wall and die."

People say like mother, like daughter. Huang Suwen was sharp-tongued, and her mother, Huang Xiujuan, was just as fierce. She scolded Huang Gang so much that she almost scolded this five-foot man into autism.

"I... I have nothing to do with that Xiaoqing. She wants to stick to me, but I didn't agree. The Jade Rabbit Spirit... that's even more impossible..."

Huang Gang still had some self-knowledge. Although the Jade Rabbit Spirit in *Journey to the West* made the audience gnash their teeth, she was truly a great beauty. Huang Gang just looked at the calendar secretly, and it would be shameful to say it out loud.

But the more Huang Gang argued, the angrier Huang Xiujuan became, so angry that she stretched out her finger and poked her son's forehead.

"If you keep messing around like this all day, sooner or later there will be some Xiao Li or Xiao Hong sticking to you. By then, I won't even have the face to see our ancestors. I'm telling you, tomorrow, you hurry up and close this restaurant for me."

"..."

Huang Gang couldn't help but say, "Mom, why do you also want me to close the restaurant?"

Huang Xiujuan was stunned: "What do you mean I also want you to close the restaurant? Who else said they want you to close the restaurant?"

"..."

Huang Gang didn't speak. Based on his understanding of his mother, if he told her Li Ye's meaning, his mother would definitely exclaim "Heroes think alike," and Huang Gang's money-losing large restaurant should be closed, closed immediately.

But Huang Xiujuan's mouth was unforgiving. She kept asking, "Eh, I'm asking you? Why are you dumb?"

"..."

Just when Huang Gang was feeling suffocated, several people in police uniforms suddenly came to the hotel entrance, immediately causing a commotion.

Huang Gang's forehead immediately broke out in sweat, because he thought for the first time that one of his brothers had committed a crime.

Then today would be his day of disaster. Ruining his own sister's wedding, his mother's feather duster would be a gift, and his father's shovel hitting his forehead would be normal.

Li Ye had been helping his brother, and he was also very annoyed to see the police coming to the door. He first glared at Huang Gang, then hurriedly walked over in three steps and two.

However, after he reached the front, he found that there were several other people with the police, and there was one person he was a bit familiar with.

【Isn't this Section Chief Cao from my grandfather's old unit? Why is it... did my grandfather commit a crime?】
