Everyone in the Zhong family was shocked by Qin Miaoyan's words.
They didn't expect that Qin Miaoyan would take back the gift out of consideration for Chen Ye's face.
How can you take back gifts?
Even if it’s a fake, it won’t work!
Because they were too surprised, they didn't speak for a while, and the hall fell into a brief silence.
In this situation, the girl with the ponytail suddenly spoke, and her voice was particularly harsh.
The girl's name is Mu Tong. She is the daughter of Qin Miaoyan's aunt and Qin Miaoyan's cousin. She is currently studying in college.
Brother Chen Ye?
In an instant, almost everyone in the Zhong family looked at the ponytail girl Mu Tong.
How did Mu Tong know Qin Miaoyan's fiancé?
This is the doubt in the minds of most Zhong family members.
Why does the name Chen Ye seem familiar?
The eldest Zhong Rongheng and the second eldest Zhong Ronghua of the Zhong family frowned slightly, racking their brains to think about where they had heard this name.
Not only them, but also Qin Boli, Zhong Qin and Qin Miaoyan looked at Mu Tong in surprise!
Only Chen Ye didn't.
"Old lady of the Zhong family, I came to wish you a birthday and give you gifts, all because of Miaoyan and Aunt Zhongqin's face. Although I can't stand your snobbery, and I don't like listening to your nagging, I don't want to embarrass them. So I’ve given you enough face.”
Just when everyone was looking at Mu Tong, Chen Ye suddenly spoke, instantly making everyone turn their attention to him.
Among them, Zhong Gui, the grandson of Zhong’s parents, shouted coldly:
"You...what did you say?!"
"Since you have made Miaoyan unhappy, there is no need for me to touch your cold butt with my hot face. Give me a gift!"
Chen Ye sneered, and then walked towards Zhong Gui.
"You gave us three fakes and you still dare to show off? What else do you say to give us face? Who do you think you are?"
Zhong Gui sneered and said, "Take your crap and get out!"
"Brother Zhong Gui, don't be impulsive..."
Seeing Zhong Gui angrily scolding Chen Ye and trying to kick Chen Ye out, the girl named Mu Tong changed her face in fright and tried to remind him.
She has determined that the young man in front of her is the legendary King of Hell Chen. She is afraid that Zhong Gui will anger Chen Ye and cause trouble for the Zhong family!
However--
Before she could say the next words, Zhong Gui's father, the second eldest son of the Zhong family, Zhong Ronghua, turned his attention to Zhongqin and said coldly:
"Zhongqin, today is my mother's birthday. Xiaogui shouldn't have done this, but your future son-in-law is so ignorant! I really don't know how you chose your son-in-law! Moreover, you brought him here to embarrass yourself. ?!”
"Why don't you know the heights of the sky? I think the ignorant are fearless."
Zhong Rongheng, the boss of the Zhong family, also spoke.
As the secretary-general of Shu City, he is more restrained and civilized, and his words are not as unpleasant as Zhong Ronghua.
Chen Ye put away the gifts and raised his brows after hearing the words of the Zhong brothers:
"What does it mean to be fearless when you are ignorant?"
"The so-called ignorant people are fearless, that is to say, you have no idea what our Zhong family means in Shuchuan. Don't say that the gift you sent is a fake. Even if the gift is genuine, do you have the qualifications to say that it will give our Zhong family face? Such words!"
Zhong Rongheng said calmly: "Because, in the Xia Kingdom, power is more important than money. In Shudu and even Shuchuan, there are not many people who dare to say that they will not give our Zhong family face."
"Brother, what you are saying to a country bumpkin like this is like playing harp to a cow. How can he possibly understand? Just follow what Xiaogui said and just blast him out to avoid embarrassment!"
Qin Miaoyan's aunt spoke again, still sarcastic and arrogant.
Zhong Rongheng shook his head gently and said:
"Forget it, it's rare for Zhongqin to come back, so let's give her some face. Besides, today is my mother's birthday. Anyone who comes is a guest, so it wouldn't be very festive to rush out."
"Zhongqin, for the sake of Fang Lan indirectly saving my life, I don't care about what happened just now. Your future son-in-law can stay and follow you to see the world, but you must let him keep his mouth shut!"
The old lady of the Zhong family frowned, looking unhappy.
"Grandma, uncle, you don't know, brother Chen Ye..."
After hearing what Zhong Rongheng and the old lady of the Zhong family said one after another, Mu Tong became anxious and wanted to reveal Chen Ye's identity in public.
However--
Just like before, she was interrupted before she could finish what she said.
"Kid, shut up!"
Mu Tong's mother, Qin Miaoyan's bitter aunt, scolded angrily.
At the same time, a ceremonial voice also sounded at the door:
"Mr. Wang Chu, chairman of Tianxiang Group, is here!"
"I hope Mr. Wu Gang, chairman of the group, will arrive!"
"Director Zhou of Shudu Police Station is here!"
…
As the words of etiquette fell, each distinguished guest walked into the banquet hall together as if they had agreed.
When the Zhong family heard this, they ignored Chen Ye and the other four, and all turned their attention to the door of the banquet hall.
Among them, Zhong Ronghua, the second eldest son of the Zhong family, stood up and went to greet him.
The old lady of the Zhong family and the eldest brother of the Zhong family, Zhong Rongheng, continued to sit there.
The former is the birthday boy, so there is no need to get up unless a big shot comes to celebrate his birthday.
Zhong Rongheng is the secretary-general of Shu City, and there are not many guests that he can stand up to greet. There are less than fifty in the city and province combined.
But the guests who came now were not among them.
"Chen Ye, if you are unhappy, should we leave first?"
At the same time, Qin Miaoyan took Chen Ye's arm and asked Chen Ye for his opinion.
Zhongqin looked apologetic and hesitated to speak.
Qin Boli, on the other hand, looked at Chen Ye anxiously, as if he was saying: Son-in-law, you have really given them shame! You show me how hard you are!
"Originally I really had no interest in staying here, but your uncle's words piqued my interest - I want to see how awesome the Zhong family is."
Chen Ye smiled slightly and decided to stay to teach the Zhong family a lesson and restore face for Qin Boli and Zhong Qin.
"Haha, young man, you are really determined not to give up until you see the Yellow River - the power of the Zhong family is beyond your imagination!"
Zhong Rongheng smiled faintly and looked at Chen Ye like a giant dragon looking down at an ant, not paying attention at all.
no.
Uncle, are you serious?
Do you know what a terrifying existence is standing in front of you?
Mu Tong was so anxious that he hesitated to speak, but found that Chen Ye glanced at her.
Just one glance.
Mu Tong was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore!
Seeing this, Chen Ye said no more and walked aside with Qin Miaoyan, Qin Boli and Zhong Qin to admire the Zhong family's welcome to guests from all directions.
Next, guests came one after another, lining up to wish the old lady of the Zhong family her birthday.
Their status is either official or business.
Officials are the top leaders of major departments and districts and counties.
The businessmen are all CEOs of well-known companies in Shuchuan. They have few small assets and are too embarrassed to enter.
"Mr. Wu Zhen, President of the Southwest Regional Company of Banxia Investment Group!"
"Mayor Zhang of Shu City!"
"Governor Wang of Sichuan Province!"
ten minutes later.
When the guests were nearing the end of their birthday wishes and gifts, the etiquette at the door of the banquet hall spoke again, and his voice was obviously much louder.
Wow!
Upon hearing the name announced in the ceremony, both the guests present and everyone in the Zhong family stood up.
Including the old lady of the Zhong family and Zhong Rongheng!
Because the identities of these three guests are too prominent!
Banxia Investment Group is the most powerful investment group in Xia State, and it is an industry owned by the top wealthy Xiao family!
As the president of Southwest Regional Company, Wu Zhen is the real core member of Banxia Investment Group!
As for the last two...
One is Zhang Huaming, the second-in-command in Shudu. He is just over 50 years old and still has a lot of room for improvement.
Another Wang Dezhi, although his job title is preceded by the word "adverb", but with the word "changwu" added, he is one of the real giants in Sichuan, and he is also Zhong Rongheng's backer in the province!
"Provincial Governor Wang, Mayor Zhang, and Mr. Zhou, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to my mother's birthday party!"
Zhong Rongheng and his family took the initiative to welcome the three distinguished guests.
Wang Dezhi, Zhang Huaming and Zhou Zhen responded to Zhong Rongheng with smiles, and then sent blessings to the old lady of the Zhong family.
After doing all this, they walked to the table at the front at Zhong Rongheng's invitation.
The guests stood up one after another, and their eyes followed their steps to show respect.
The only exceptions were Chen Ye, Qin Boli, Zhong Qin and Qin Miao's family of four.
They sat at a table, indifferent.
Um?
The actions of Chen Ye and the others immediately attracted the attention of the Zhong family and the guests present, and were also seen by Wang Dezhi, Zhang Huaming and Zhou Zhen.
Among them, the Zhong family looked annoyed, but they could only endure it at the moment and could not get angry in public.
Wang Dezhi and Zhang Huaming also frowned slightly, as if they didn't understand the behavior of Chen Ye and the others - after the etiquette announced their identities, those four people dared not give them any face?
When did the capital of Shu have such awesome people? !
soon.
The answer is revealed.
Wu Zhen, President of the Southwest Regional Company of Banxia Investment Group, his eyes instantly widened when he saw Chen Ye!
then……
Like a slave in an ancient palace meeting his master, he trotted up to Chen Ye, bowed ninety degrees and said:
"Mr. Chen, welcome to the capital of Shu!!"
…
