Chapter 486 Not as Good as Chen Yang
The Liu family members gathered around the dinner table.
After sitting down, everyone saw the meager amount of food on the table, and their expressions turned displeased.
"What's going on? Why is there so little food? Can't our Liu family even afford to eat now?"
"I remember it used to be quite extravagant. What happened now? Just this little bit. Who's been working in the kitchen lately?"
"Who else could it be? Yang Long. His Yang family went bankrupt, and he's jobless, so of course, he's the one in the kitchen."
"Didn't Yang Long pocket the meal money and only use half of it to fool us?"
The Liu family members at the table were gloating and mocking Yang Long.
Cai Yun and Liu Xin sat to the side. Cai Yun's face turned ashen upon hearing these words. She slammed the table and stood up, angrily shouting at Yang Long, "Yang Long, come here! How much did each dish on this table cost? Recite it to me, every single cent. If even a dime is missing, I'll hold you accountable. Did you skim the food money? Tell us clearly, here and now!"
Although Cai Yun disliked her son-in-law, she couldn't stand by and watch others slander Yang Long.
Yang Long walked to Cai Yun's side. He heard the whispers of his relatives and felt both angry and wronged. The 300 yuan for meals per day was not enough for so many people to eat well, especially with the current high prices of ingredients.
Yang Long said to Cai Yun, "Mom, the price of ingredients has really surged recently. We need to ensure nutrition for our three meals a day and balance meat and vegetables. This is the best I can do."
The second aunt beside them snorted and chuckled. "Oh, look at you, feeling wronged. Do you think 300 yuan a day is too little? When Chen Yang was working in the kitchen, he could arrange three meals perfectly on 200 yuan a day. Now you have 300, and you still think it's not enough."
"I think you should find a chance to call Chen Yang and ask him how he managed it. If this continues, our Liu family will starve."
Hearing this, Yang Long could no longer hold back. He turned abruptly and pointed at the second aunt, saying, "Shut up! Let me tell you, I'm done. I quit this job! No matter what, I was once the young master of the Yang family. I won't serve you all anymore."
Cai Yun grabbed Yang Long's hair fiercely and said angrily, "Yang Long, are you crazy? Just recite the prices of these dishes, and everyone will know you haven't skimmed the money. Why are you quitting?"
"You don't have any other job now. You're in charge of purchasing and cooking in the Liu family's kitchen, earning at least 8,000 yuan a month. Without this job, do you expect my daughter to support you?"
"Even that useless Chen Yang knows how to deliver food. Look at you, you can't lift a finger. You can't even deliver food. What else can you do if you're not working in the kitchen?"
Yang Long pushed Cai Yun away and said, "Let me tell you, five million yuan will be in my account tomorrow. Although I, Yang Long, have fallen on hard times, and the Yang family is bankrupt, if I want money, people will send it to me in minutes."
"You compare me to that useless Chen Yang? Can he compare to me? I am the young master of the Yang family, not some worthless person like him?"
The second aunt of the Liu family chuckled and said, "Oh, five million? I'd consider you capable if you could produce fifty thousand yuan right now. Who would obediently send you five million? Do you really think you're still the young master you once were!"
Yang Long smirked proudly. He walked over to Liu Xin and sat down. He then took out his phone and waved it at everyone, saying, "Let me tell you, although the Yang family is bankrupt, the information our Yang family previously possessed is still with me!"
"You know Professor Li Hui of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company, right? He's a leader in the pharmaceutical research and development laboratory. If I send him this text message, he'll immediately resign from Yangyangyang Company and will soon transfer five million yuan to me."
"This is the importance of information. Your small families naturally don't have access to this core information, so you can't make money. But with the Yang family's information, I'll never lack food or drink."
Liu Xin also spoke up to the other relatives, "Brother Long is right. It's true that Yang Long has fallen on hard times, but earning five million yuan is really easy for him. If Professor Li doesn't give us the money, we'll expose him and his past misdeeds. Hmph, then he'll be finished."
Cai Yun stood by, her eyes lighting up as she heard her daughter and son-in-law speak. She said proudly, "See? Don't think my son-in-law is nothing just because he's bankrupt. He was a young master once!"
Just then, a cousin took out her phone and smiled, "Oh, sister-in-law, your husband's secret core information that your Yang family possesses, is it perhaps about Professor Yang and his student Mei Youli's romance?"
Yang Long's face changed. He looked at the cousin incredulously and said, "You... how did you know? This information was discovered by our Yang family. Ordinary people could never find out."
The cousin chuckled and couldn't help but mock him, "Oh, young master of the Yang family, you're really hilarious. Professor Li has already openly announced his relationship with his student Mei Youli."
"The whole internet knows about it now. You're still expecting to extort five million yuan from him with this news? You're truly hilarious, daydreaming, aren't you? Hahahaha..."
Hearing this, the other Liu family relatives quickly asked what was going on.
The cousin directly turned on the TV and said, "You'll know if you watch the news. The romance between Professor Li Hui and his student Mei Youli, this video has gone viral. I found it very touching!"
"Professor Li and his student, to avoid impacting each other's careers, lived apart for over ten years. This time, they've revealed their relationship and announced that they will be getting married soon!"
On the TV, in the news.
Indeed, this news was being broadcast. However, the reporter delivering the news was full of blessings, wishing the professor and his beloved a long and happy life together, and was deeply moved.
At the same time, on the internet, 99% of the news articles and promotional videos saw this news with blessings and emotions, with everyone sincerely wishing for lovers to eventually marry.
Yang Long and Liu Xin's faces changed simultaneously upon seeing this news.
Yang Long's lips trembled with anger. The moment he saw the Yangyangyang Company logo repeatedly appearing in the video, Yang Long knew he was finished, and that he had been tricked by Chen Yang and Liu Ran.
Enraged, Yang Long picked up his phone and smashed it against the TV, shouting, "Chen Yang, you bastard! You owe me five million!"
The numerous Liu family relatives at the table burst into mocking laughter.
"This young master of the Yang family is too funny, trying to blackmail someone!"
"With this kind of news, he still expects to make five million, hahaha..."
"If this were worth five million, everyone in the country could make five million. What kind of 'young master of the Yang family'? He's just a bankrupt who owes a pile of debt and has no money."
"Cai Yun always brags about her son-in-law. I'm dying of laughter."
"Her son-in-law is truly not as good as the former delivery guy, Chen Yang!"
