Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: All the Big Shots Toasting

"That's right, Xu Yang is truly a godsend son-in-law! Who would have thought he'd been hiding his light under a bushel, even knowing top tycoons like the wealthiest man Zhang Yimin!" Liu Yujuan said with a triumphant smile, her face beaming with pride.

This scene thoroughly satisfied her vanity.

However, Liu Yujuan soon remembered Zhao Yulu had not gotten back together with Xu Yang.

Zhao Yulu still harbored resistant feelings, so it seemed Liu Yujuan needed to figure out a way to dispel those feelings quickly and urge Zhao Yulu to seek out Xu Yang again as soon as possible.

"So, that Mr. Xu is the owner of Fengcai Guild and Jiang's Catch, and he's your son-in-law, Ms. Liu?" Lu Wei asked in surprise.

"Exactly," Liu Yujuan immediately nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ms. Liu, why don't you go over and say hello?" Lu Wei asked again.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yujuan's expression stiffened slightly.

Going over to greet him now, Xu Yang might not acknowledge her.

That would be embarrassing.

After thinking it over, Liu Yujuan said, "With Xu Yang meeting with so many important people right now, my greeting would interrupt him. Better not to go."

The few friends knew the situation.

Because Zhao Yulu had not gotten back together with Xu Yang, he wasn't truly Liu Yujuan's son-in-law just yet.

"Sister Juan is right, approaching him now would disrupt Xu Yang."

"As a mother-in-law, one should consider her son-in-law's situation."

"Mr. Lu, Xu Yang is definitely discussing business with those tycoons. Going up to greet him is absolutely inappropriate; it could be seen as Ms. Juan lacking tact, and it might even affect the business Xu Yang is discussing with the tycoons."

"That's right, Mr. Lu, don't go making rash suggestions."

Li Fang and the others joined in to support the statement.

"I was too brash, it really isn't appropriate to approach him in this situation," Lu Wei said with an embarrassed smile.

What Liu Yujuan and her friends said made sense, it wasn't suitable to approach in such circumstances.

Yet he still had his doubts.

He felt that it wasn't just a matter of it being inappropriate for Liu Yujuan to greet Xu Yang.

There was some other reason.

But he had no idea what it might be.

Could it be that Liu Yujuan and Xu Yang were not on good terms?

Very likely, otherwise why would Liu Yujuan arrive by taxi?

A billionaire's mother-in-law would surely have come in a luxury car, at least.

And he had noticed that Liu Yujuan was a person extremely fond of vanity.

With such a son-in-law, not traveling in a luxury car would be doing herself a disservice.

But Liu Yujuan had not done so.

At that moment, Xu Yang, who was chatting and laughing with several big shots, noticed what was happening over here and saw Liu Yujuan.

Xu Yang was a bit surprised; he had not expected to see Liu Yujuan here.

"Sister Juan, it looks like Xu Yang saw you," Li Fang said.

"I know," Liu Yujuan had already noticed and gave Xu Yang a smile.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang, who had just been sharing a joke with the tycoons, instead reined in his smile.

Zhao Yuxin didn't like Liu Yujuan, her mother, and did not acknowledge Liu Yujuan as her mother; naturally, Xu Yang was not going to show Liu Yujuan any friendliness.

This left Liu Yujuan feeling both awkward and irritated.

She thought to herself, once you become my son-in-law, I must make you give me more money!

"Ms. Liu, Mr. Xu has noticed you; do you think he'll come over to greet you? If he does come over..."

As Lu Wei was speaking, Xu Yang and the tycoons entered the restaurant.

Lu Wei couldn't continue his sentence.

This only deepened Lu Wei's doubts.

Liu Yujuan's refusal to go over and greet Xu Yang could be said to be out of consideration for not disturbing him.

But when Xu Yang noticed Liu Yujuan and didn't come over to say hello, that seemed less justifiable.

Plus, the look in Xu Yang's eyes when he saw Liu Yujuan was a bit off.

It didn't carry the kindness and respect one would expect to see when looking at their mother-in-law but rather a sort of indifference.

It seemed the relationship between Liu Yujuan and Xu Yang was quite complex, at the very least not a good one.

Otherwise, it definitely wouldn't have happened.

This is for the best.

When he heard that Xu Yang was Liu Yujuan's son-in-law, he got a scare, thinking about deceiving Liu Yujuan out of her money and then fleeing—the risk was substantial.

After all, for someone like Xu Yang, it would be quite easy to employ resources to find him.

Now it seemed that Liu Yujuan's relationship with Xu Yang must not be good.

So if he were to embezzle the funds and run away, Xu Yang probably wouldn't help Liu Yujuan find him.

With this thought, Lu Wei felt relieved. Seeing Xu Yang and the big shots had entered the restaurant, he called out, "Ms. Liu, your son-in-law has already gone into that private kitchen restaurant with the bigwigs to dine, shall we go in?"

"Alright," Liu Yujuan nodded, and followed Lu Wei into the restaurant with a few sisters.

Once inside the restaurant's private room, Lu Wei immediately went to get the contract.

"Ms. Liu, please take a look at the contract. Let's sign the contract before dining."

"Okay, I'll check it first." Liu Yujuan reviewed the contract.

The contract was very simple, just a very straightforward loan agreement.

Feeling that there was no problem, Liu Yujuan signed it directly.

Then she transferred a million yuan to Lu Wei's bank account using her mobile phone.

"Thank you, Ms. Liu, I will arrange for the dishes to be served immediately."

Seeing the money had been transferred, Lu Wei was overjoyed.

He put away the contract and immediately went out to order the dishes.

On the other side, at the extraordinary private kitchen restaurant.

Xu Yang and his group had entered a large private room and sat at a large round table.

A server dressed in a cheongsam with a graceful figure immediately came over to pour tea for everyone.

Gao Le'an was arranging the food and drinks.

Before starting to eat, Shen Wanpeng spoke up, "Gentlemen, we are all sitting together today thanks to Mr. Xu, for it was he who gave us this opportunity. Let's all toast to Mr. Xu. What do you think?"

"Certainly."

"I agree."

"Shen is absolutely right, this first toast should indeed be to Mr. Xu."

All the bigwigs echoed in agreement, lifting their glasses and looking toward Xu Yang.

Originally, Xu Yang was just a junior with a fortune of merely several tens of billions.

Compared to big shots like Wang Dalin and Zhang Yimin, he was far behind.

Having all these seniors toast to him really wasn't appropriate.

But as Shen Wanpeng said, it was precisely because of Xu Yang that everyone had gathered together.

It was Xu Yang who provided them with the opportunity to invest in Hui'an Pharmaceuticals.

Hui'an Pharmaceuticals was an important link in everyone's plans for the pharmaceutical industry and the health industry.

Otherwise, these bigwigs would have never come for such a small investment.

Based on this, toasting to Xu Yang together was reasonable.

"All of you are my elders. Shen, when you say that, you really humiliate me," said Xu Yang with a rueful smile on his face.

"Xu Yang, what's this talk of being humiliated? It's you who gave us this investment opportunity!" Shen Wanpeng said.

"Indeed, Xiao Xu, there's no need to be modest."

Wang Dalin was very optimistic about Xu Yang's future; Xu Yang had a good relationship with his son.

As long as it wasn't too much, he would stand by Xu Yang's side.

All the more so for just a toast.

"Mr. Xu, Shen and Mr. Wang are right, just drink." Zhang Yimin joined in to persuade.

"Xiao Xu, stop refusing. Drink up, so we can all enjoy our meal. The dishes are all here, and I'm salivating already. You can't just let us sit here drooling," Jiang Dahai, Jiang Yuheng's father, urged.

He, too, was very optimistic about Xu Yang and had instructed Jiang Yuheng to get close to him.

Moreover, Jiang Yuheng had already invested in Haidilao.

In other respects, he had also followed Xu Yang's investments and had made quite a bit.

Because of his son's relationship, he, like Wang Dalin, also called Xu Yang "Xiao Xu."
