Chapter 475 Goddaughter
Xu Manman nodded gently and replied: "I just came back not long ago. By the way, where are Xiaobo and Mengmeng?"
"My mother asked me to leave it with her so that we can have a good talk with Xinxin. Okay, let's eat first and call Xinxin out!" Yang Jiabao put the cold noodles on the table.
Xu Manman knocked on her daughter's door and said softly, "Xinxin, come out for dinner."
Yang Dingxin in the room immediately locked the diary in the drawer after hearing her mother's voice, and then responded: "Okay, Mom, I'll be there right away."
When Yang Jiabao saw his eldest daughter coming out, he handed her a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile, "Come, let's have cold noodles tonight. Didn't you say you wanted to eat it yesterday?"
"Hey, Dad, is this Lao Han's cold noodles?" Yang Dingxin asked after taking a bite.
"Well, I know you like theirs, so I made a detour to buy it."
"Hey, thanks, Dad."
"What are you thanking me for? Let's eat!" Then the three of them didn't say anything and started eating the cold noodles.
After finishing the meal, Xu Manman cleaned up the table, then poured three cups of warm water and placed them on the table. "Come, drink some water and rinse your mouth."
"Well, thanks, Mom." Yang Dingxin picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Xu Manman looked at her husband and then at her eldest daughter. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "Xinxin, did you go to see Xu Hecheng today?"
Yang Dingxin replied without even looking up: "Yes, Mom, didn't I tell you when I just came back? Have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten." Xu Manman shook her head. "But Xu Hecheng's mother said that they went to Sichuan Province as soon as the holiday came. Where did you meet Xu Hecheng?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dingxin's face changed, and she looked at her mother angrily, "Mom, don't you believe me?"
"Yang Dingxin, you lied to your mother and you think you're right? What do you mean by not trusting you? Your mother trusts you too much, so she was fooled by you. I'll give you a chance. What did you do today?" Yang Jiabao frowned and shouted loudly.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Didn't we agree on this? Talk to her properly. Are you speaking so loudly because you're afraid that others won't know?" Xu Manman slapped Yang Jiabao heavily several times.
"Hmph," Yang Jiabao snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Yang Xinxin glanced at her parents and whispered, "What can I do? I just made an appointment with my classmates to go to KTV to sing. I was afraid that you would say I was not ambitious, so I made up a lie."
When Yang Jiabao heard that his daughter still refused to admit it, he glared at her and said through gritted teeth, "You keep making it up. I want to ask you, are you in a premature love relationship? Who is the boy? I'll go find him."
Yang Dingxin raised her head suddenly, her lips trembling, "I..."
"Huh, you didn't expect us to know, did you? Didn't you expect to run into someone you know? You're embarrassing yourself."
"Oh, Jiabao, it's not as serious as you say. The child is still young. Talk to her nicely. She will understand." Xu Manman looked at her daughter's red eyes and said with some heartache.
"She's still young. She's fourteen. How can she be young? She could be a mother in ancient times. And you, you helped her keep it a secret. Look, does she take your words seriously? She just knows how to fool you."
Yang Jiabao became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally he slapped the back of the sofa hard, causing Yang Dingxin to shudder and instantly move away from him.
"Oh, you, keep your voice down. Xinxin, mom can't help you this time. Tell me yourself, what did you promise me last time? Others saw it and told your dad and me." Xu Manman's face was also full of disappointment.
Yang Dingxin looked at her angry parents and felt a little scared, but she still pretended to be calm, "Mom and Dad, Feng Jian and I are just ordinary friends..."
"Would ordinary friends kiss?" Xu Manman looked at her eldest daughter and shook her head in disappointment. Even at this point, she still refused to tell the truth. This child was really stubborn.
Yang Dingxin opened her mouth, but now she didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head with a red face.
"I'm telling you, break up with that guy Jian. If I find out that you are still in contact with him, I will come to your house." Yang Jiabao threatened his daughter.
Xu Manman pushed her husband and said, "Oh, is it an honor? You came to my house. Say less. I want to talk to Xinxin." Then she pulled her daughter into the room and locked the door.
In the room, Yang Dingxin's face was full of shame. She sat on the bed, her back to her mother, without saying a word.
Xu Manman sighed and whispered, "Xinxin, your dad was a little hasty, but he was doing it for your own good. Think about it, we provide you with such good study conditions, thinking that you can study hard, but you fall in love prematurely. Do you think this is right?"
"Mom, I studied hard." Yang Dingxin defended herself. Although she was in a relationship, her grades did not drop.
"Yes, you study hard, but what mom wants to say is that you shouldn't fall in love at your age..."
"Mom," Xu Manman was interrupted by Yang Dingxin before she could finish her words, "It's not a matter of should or shouldn't. I can't do anything if fate has come..."
Being interrupted repeatedly, Xu Manman also got angry. She frowned and said in a deep voice: "Yang Dingxin, can you please speak properly? I gave you face, right? You should have let your dad beat you up just now."
"Mom, look at you. You were just talking about Dad, but you didn't speak properly yourself."
"You were the one who didn't speak properly first. I just want to say one thing now: you should break up with that boy and don't contact him anymore."
Yang Dingxin was a little reluctant, "Mom, I..."
"What do you mean by 'I'? It's broken." Xu Manman shouted loudly, but she softened her tone when she saw the frightened expression on her daughter's face and continued to explain: "Xinxin, you see, your uncle has the highest education in our family and he has the best job. You should follow his example."
"But I think that even though you and my dad didn't go to college, our family conditions are pretty good. You can make a lot of money by opening a store. I don't think you have to go to college. My classmates said that many college students are working for their dads now..."
"It's different," Xu Manman shook her head. "Xinxin, your father and I were lucky at that time, and with the support of your grandparents, 80% of our family's current wealth was given by your grandparents. But your uncle is different. Even without your grandparents, he can still live a good life. Do you know how much your uncle's annual salary is now?"
"How much? Three hundred thousand? Or four hundred thousand?" Yang Dingxin's attention was diverted and he asked curiously.
"One million and six hundred thousand, and that's without adding any equity. Look, your uncle's annual salary is equal to what our family earns in three years. The main reason is that his is stable and he makes the same amount every year. Add to that your aunt, who now also makes a million, and the couple together make nearly three million. Who else can have such a high income? It's all thanks to his education."
