Chapter 694: Cousins

The venue of the big gathering was chosen to be held at a private restaurant on the outskirts of the city.

Yin Bin had already come to take a look at the venue beforehand. The alfresco area was spacious and very private. The kitchen was set up in a central room. It had a very rustic charm.

As soon as Old Master Yin saw the restaurant, he said, “This restaurant looks good. Not bad, not bad. If there’s a chance, I’d like to meet the owner of the restaurant.”

Yin Bin quickly said, “I heard this restaurant was founded by a few youngsters as a hobby project. Nonetheless, it’s really popular. It takes two months just to make a reservation. We have to thank Old Ye for being able to come here today. He gave up his reservation to us.”

Old Ye was naturally Ye He, Ye Cheng’s father.

Old Master Yin nodded and said to Yin Bin, “This is the first time I’ve seen you befriend such a reliable friend. Has he returned from abroad? I really want to meet him.”

Yin Bin quickly replied, “Not yet. He said he’ll be back in a few days. Ye Cheng is also urging his father to come back soon.”

Old Master Yin nodded. “It seems like M City is quite good. You seem to thrive here.”

Yin Bin smiled, feeling rather pleased.

“When Ye Cheng’s father returns, you must quickly settle and confirm the marriage between the children. This matter is as important as Yin Xing’s return to the family,” Old Master Yin said, “Yin Xing can’t run away. Sooner or later, he’ll have to return to the family. On the other hand, Ye Cheng is different. With such an outstanding young man, I can’t imagine how many young women from other families are lining up to marry him. Although our Yin Jia is good, it’s best if there’s no competition. The relationship between her and Ye Cheng is really good now so you have to strike while the iron is hot.”

Yin Bin was so happy and agreed.

After Old Master Yin took a seat, he looked around. He felt rather satisfied. He thought the restaurant really suited the status of the Yin family. All in all, he was in a rather good mood.

Soon after, the other members of the Yin family arrived one after another. Everyone was filled with praises for the restaurant. When they learned that Ye He had given up his reservation to them, they praised Ye Cheng even more. Moreover, whenever they praised Ye Cheng, they could see Old Master Yin’s smile widening. With that, everyone continued to praise Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng and Yin Jia arrived hand in hand.

When Old Madam Yin saw the duo, she said, filled with praise, “Look at this golden couple. They’re really compatible.”

Yin Jia’s expression turned frosty immediately. This was an instinctive reaction. After all, Old Madam Yin would never say such words; even if she did, it was a precursor to something bad. Hence, her guards instantly went up.

Ye Cheng calmly greeted the elders. His gaze paused slightly on Guan Tang’s face.

Guan Tang’s heart skipped a beat as her face flushed.

Ye Cheng averted his gaze and continued chatting with everyone else.

At this moment, Yin Yi tugged at Guan Tang’s sleeve. “Cousin?”

Guan Tang jolted slightly. “Hm?”

Yin Yi looked at Guan Tang strangely, “What’s wrong? I asked you when you bought this dress.”

Guan Tang hurriedly replied, “Sorry, I was listening to the others so I didn’t hear you. I bought this dress last year. Sister said it didn’t look good so I didn’t wear it.”

Yin Yi was even more puzzled. “Then, why did you wear it today? Why did she say it didn’t look good? I think it looks very good.”

Guan Tang smiled, “That’s right. I wore this dress today because I thought it looked good. Today is about your sister and your elder brother. I didn’t want to steal the limelight so I wore what she thinks doesn’t look good on me.”
