Half an hour later.
Near River Neighborhood, Deity Restaurant.
This was an old restaurant in Auton. The dishes were all very special. It was said to have gathered the chefs of eight major cuisines.
Alberto and Dayanara drove and arrived at the restaurant on time.
Erick parked the car in the parking lot. Alberto and Dayanara got off.
“Mom and Dad are too vain. They knew clearly that Tyree was going to show off that he moved to a new house and his daughter had found a capable boyfriend. They still called me and asked me to drive over,” Dayanara said with a sad expression, as if she wasn’t willing to participate in the dinner.
She couldn’t figure out what her parents were thinking.
Tyree’s family and her family had been neighbors for more than ten years. They could be considered old acquaintances. However, since her father was kicked out of the board of directors by her two uncles a few years ago and was down and out, Tyree’s family lost their enthusiasm. They even mock and ridicule them while meeting.
After experiencing the fickleness of the world, her parents still went to eat with Tyree’s family?
“It is very normal. You’re promising now. Mom and Dad also want to regain face,” Alberto said.
“I don’t understand what they are thinking. Anyway, it is annoying! I have to face a group of hypocrites again,” Dayanara said helplessly.
Alberto smiled and didn’t say anything.
He knew a little about Tyree’s family downstairs.
They were snobs. But this was human nature. There was nothing to say.
Not long after, they walked to the entrance of Deity Restaurant.
Lillian and her husband are talking to two middle-aged men and women.
“Hey, is Dayanara here? Is this your car? This car is not bad. The price is about 500, 000 yuan.” A middle-aged woman walked over and sized up Dayanara’s car.
“Dayanara, I heard from your parents that you were promoted to design director of the Group? Really?” Beside the woman, a middle-aged man said suspiciously.
“Uncle Mullen, Aunt Mullen,” Ignoring the words, Dayanara greeted them politely.
“Hey, Dayanara. Are you still living with Alberto?” Tyree said directly and glanced at Alberto.
Lillian hurried to say, “No. Dayanara is now the design director of the Group, and Alberto is her assistant.”
“Assistant?” Tyree shook his head and said proudly, “A man should have his own career. How can he work under a woman?”
Lillian didn’t say anything and glared fiercely at Alberto, as if she was very dissatisfied with Alberto coming to the dinner party.
…
An Audi A8 full of business aura drove over and sounded its horn.
A driver in a suit pulled open the back door and a young man and woman dressed in fashionable clothes got off.
“Hey, Sierra and Derek are here,” Tyree smiled and said as he glanced at Lillian and her husband proudly. “Let me introduce you. This is Sierra’s boyfriend, Derek. He is the general manager of a large real estate company in Parkwich District. He is a top student who came back from abroad!”
“Our Sierra has a good boyfriend. Do you see this car? Derek bought it. Audi A8! It’s much more expensive than the BMW 5 Series,” Tyree flaunted, “Derek even said that he would give this car to me after he bought a new car. Cedric, you have told me that Dayanara is the design director of the Group and how powerful she is, why doesn’t the Group give her a high-grade car?”
Lillian and her husband’s expressions were a little ugly. They had been praising how powerful their daughter Dayanara was in front of Tyree just now. But Dayanara’s car was not as good as Tyree’s daughter’s.
“Hello.”
A young man wearing glasses and a brand-name suit slowly walked over. Facing Dayanara’s family, he raised his head and showed contempt for them.
“Uncle and Aunt, let’s go eat,” Derek said calmly. It seemed that he wasn’t interested in dealing with Dayanara’s family.
“Alright. Let’s go eat,” Tyree laughed and said.
Tyree’s family went upstairs first.
“Dayanara, I asked you here to keep up appearances. Why did you bring Alberto here?” Lillian said disdainfully, “He is the joke of our family and the laughingstock of others! Look at how respectable the son-in-law of Tyree’s family is.”
Dayanara said, “I think no one will cook at home. So, I let Alberto come to have a meal together.”
“Can’t you just let him go out for packed lunch?” Lillian looked extremely dissatisfied as she said, “Alberto, you can have dinner yourself. Don’t follow us, or Tyree will laugh at us again.”
“Forget it. Since he has come and greeted Tyree’s family, isn’t it even more ridiculous to leave now?” Cedric said helplessly, “Go up.”
He finally had a chance to show off his daughter’s achievements in front of his old acquaintance, but Alberto disrupted his plan.
Alberto didn’t say anything and followed Dayanara’s family to Deity Restaurant.
VIP Room 8 on the second floor.
The wine and dishes were ready. There were ten dishes and two bottles of Maotai, which was a top-grade wine. Tyree’s family had been seated.
Alberto calmly sat down.
“Dayanara, we haven’t seen each other for years. I’ve been working outside these past few years. I heard that you have been married?” Sierra, Tyree’s daughter, asked curiously.
Sierra’s skin was white and she was beautiful. Her dress was very fashionable.
“It is not that Dayanara married someone else,” Tyree smiled and said, “But a man married into her family. Look, it’s the one next to her.”
“A live-in son-in-law?” Sierra was a little surprised and looked at Alberto.
Alberto had a delicate appearance, and a pair of eyes looked very smart. Apart from that, he was ordinary and unadorned. His clothes were not very good. He wore ordinary jeans and white T-shirts without a decent watch.
He was just a rube.
Sierra looked at Alberto with disgust.
“Dayanara, what does your husband Alberto do?” Sierra asked.
“He used to sell barbecue on a market stall. Now, I heard that he is working as an assistant for Dayanara,” Tyree sneered.
“I see.”
Sierra said. She became complacent. She said to herself that Alberto was just a gigolo. Sierra thought that her boyfriend was much better than Dayanara’s.
“Cedric, we’ve been neighbors for seven or eight years. This time, I’m moving. Let’s have a drink,” Tyree raised his glass and said proudly.
“To be honest, Cedric, this River Neighborhood is really shabby. You cannot live here. It’s time for you to think of a way to buy a new house,” Tyree said casually, “Isn’t it a joke to live in such a place? It will be a shame for you to live in a house like this if your relatives and friends came to visit you.”
Lillian had a dry cough and changed the topic, “Tyree, have you seen the news recently? Dayanara was reported by various newspapers. Two days ago, a jewelry work she designed had sold for a sky-high price of 100 million yuan.”
