Chapter 50: Fumen, Lumen, and Shoumen
Du Chen looked at Jiang Hongyun with a smile, looking like an elder preaching to his back.
But Jiang Hongxun's face was full of anger at this time, he couldn't bear it, not only did he feel that Du Chen had insulted the Jiang family, but what made him even more unacceptable was Du Chen's preaching. No proud man can stand preaching from his peers.
What's more, Jiang Hongyun is still a high-spirited man, and his family is even the first in the medical community in Minghang, and no one dares to call it second. He himself won the Most Outstanding Medical Youth Award in Minghang.
How can such a man endure the preaching of his peers in medicine.
The scene became full of gunpowder, and it looked like it would explode if there was just a little spark.
At this time, on the second floor of the banquet hall, Dong Li was looking down anxiously. She wanted to go downstairs several times to help Du Chen, but was stopped by a beautiful young woman beside her.
This is a very beautiful life, in her early thirties, but she has a bewitching melon seed face that countless girls are crazy envy and jealous of, and she is wearing a decent cheongsam evening dress, which sets off her almost perfect slender figure to the fullest. The lower slit of the cheongsam is very high, and it is about to reach the root of the thigh, revealing the beautiful legs that are as white as jade, which can really make any man crazy.
If you just talk about the allure of appearance, this young woman in her early thirties is even more than Dong Li, who is in her twenties. It can be seen how deep her charm is.
"Aunt Jingbai, I... Brother Du will be fine. Dong Li said with an embarrassed face, seeing her expression, she couldn't wait to go downstairs immediately, and walk to Du Chen's side to feel at ease. But with this woman here, this woman doesn't speak, but Dong Li can't go down at this time no matter what.
This woman's name is Li Jingbai, Dong Li calls her Aunt Jingbai, and Li Jingbai can be regarded as Dong Li's elder. But Li Jingbai, this name Minghang is known to few people. In Minghang, on the contrary, her nickname can be said to be well-known.
Minghang has Shuangying, one is Dong Li's stepmother, Mrs. Dong.
And the other is the beautiful young woman in front of her, known as Widow Sun. In terms of reputation, this Li Jingbai is even louder than Mrs. Dong.
In addition, Li Jingbai is Mrs. Dong's cousin and Dong Li's cousin.
And today's birthday banquet for Dong Li, Li Jingbai is the east, so with her in the way, Dong Li can't go downstairs to support Du Chen no matter what.
"Hehe..."
Li Jingbai held a **-year-old girl dressed like a little princess, holding a pink lollipop in her hand, and her skin was as white as a porcelain doll, and smiled lightly, but she didn't express her opinion. However, the little girl in her arms, who was like a porcelain doll, stared intently at Du Chen below, her little eyes flashing with a strange light, as if she was thinking about something.
"Aunt Jingbai, just let me go down. This Jiang Hongyun is not easy to mess with, with the Jiang family's power in Minghang, Brother Du will suffer if he is against him. Dong Li even coaxed and begged, and even a little coquettish, just to let Li Jingbai let her go.
"Hehe... It's rare that our Li'er will actually be coquettish to me for a man. β
Li Jingbai smiled meaningfully, and just when Dong Li thought that she agreed to go down by herself, Li Jingbai said again: "But Li'er, you are still too naΓ―ve, if you go down at this time, not only will it not help her at all, but it will be harmful to you believe it or not." β
"Why?"
Dong Li asked puzzled, today is his birthday party, and he is the host of this banquet. Won't these people give themselves face?
"Hehe... Why do you think he is hostile to everyone? It's because of you! β
"I... Brother Du was hostile to them because of me! β
Dong Li's mouth opened wide in shock, she was innocent, but if she didn't understand it at this moment, she was really a little stupid. Thinking of this, she not only felt a little guilty, if it weren't for herself, Du Chen would not be hostile to everyone.
"Hehe... It's not your fault when it comes to it, you don't need to feel guilty. If you want to blame, blame people's hearts, people's hearts will be jealous! β
"So what do I do now?" Dong Li asked a little stupidly, she really wanted to go down to help Du Chen now, but when Li Jingbai said this, she knew that it would be useless for her to go down, but it would make Du Chen suffer more hostility. I didn't know what to do for a while.
"Hehe... Look! β
Li Jingbai looked at Du Chen with some meaning, and said in a low voice: "You have to believe him, if just Jiang Hongyun can't let him get off the stage, this is not a good thing for you." β
"Aunt Jingbai, what do you mean by this?"
Dong Li asked a little puzzled, to be honest, it was not that she was stupid, but that Li Jingbai's words were too profound and inexplicable.
"Hehe..."
Li Jingbai smiled, didn't speak, just pointed to Zhang Shaofei at the other end of the second floor, at this time Zhang Shaofei also looked at the audience with a gloomy face, Du Chen and Jiang Hongyun confronted each other, and a knowing smile flowed out of his face.
"Brother Zhang? Aunt Jingbai, if you have something to say, just say it. β
Dong Li is even more incomprehensible now, if it weren't for her relatives, she really didn't like to deal with people like Li Jingbai at all, talking and doing things, at best it was unfathomable, and at worst it was inexplicable. Whether it is speaking or doing things, it is confusing and incomprehensible. In fact, although they are relatives, they really don't have much time to deal with, Dong Li said that he really doesn't understand Li Jingbai's way of speaking.
"Hehe..."
Li Jingbai still only smiled and did not speak.
ββ¦β¦β
Dong Li was really a little speechless.
"Sister Dong Li, you are so stupid."
At this moment, the cute little girl like a porcelain doll in Li Jingbai's arms spoke, and she was actually laughing at Dong Li's IQ.
"Hehe..."
Li Jingbai smiled again.
"Aunt Jingbai, I'm angry!"
Dong Li was speechless, if it weren't for the relative, if Li Jingbai was still his elder, Dong Li really wanted to leave.
"Hee-hee..."
The little girl smiled again: "Sister Dong Li, Zhang Dashao over there is your fiancΓ©, right?" β
"Fang'er, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be like your mother, only half of what you say." Dong Li said with some amusement. This mother and daughter are simply a perfect match, even the laughter is so hateful, is this laughing at their own IQ? But in the face of the ridicule of such a cute little girl like a porcelain doll, she really couldn't get angry.
But she really couldn't figure out how this matter could be related to Zhang Shaofei again.
Fang'er said with a smile: "Sister Dong Li likes that brother Du Chen below, right?" β
"Don't talk nonsense, children, Brother Du and I are just ordinary friends." Dong Li's face turned red, could it be that he was so obvious? Even a little girl of seven or eight years old could see it.
"My sister is ashamed, she dares to like it but she doesn't dare to admit it." Fang'er pulled her cheeks with both hands, looking very cute.
"Hehe..."
Li Jingbai laughed again, but this time, she didn't just laugh, she continued: "Whether you admit it in front of us or not, but you can't deceive yourself." Xiaoli, you said that compared with Zhang Shaofei, who is stronger and who is weak? β
"It should be Brother Zhang's strength."
Dong Li said with some uncertainty, as Dong Anguo's daughter, even if she is unwilling to contact these messy power struggles. But I also know a little, Jiang Hongxun's father Jiang Tianshou is known as the living immortal of Minghang, and the Jiang family's power in Minghang is also very great. But compared to the Zhang family, it is still a little weaker. Moreover, Zhang Shaofei and his people are only stronger than Jiang Hongyang.
If you compare Jiang Hongyang with Zhang Shaofei, except for his appearance, Jiang Hongyang can win by a slight advantage, no matter how he compares, Jiang Hongyang can't compare to Zhang Shaofei.
But she still didn't understand what this had to do with Du Chen and the dispute below.
"Hehe... You like the following Du Chen, and Zhang Shaofei is your fiancΓ©. β
Li Jingbai didn't care whether Dong Li admitted it or not, and then said: "If Du Chen is stumped by this Jiang Hongyang, what qualifications do you have to like him?" β
"Aunt Jingbai!"
Dong Li looked slightly stunned, she didn't expect Li Jingbai to speak so directly and to the point, just one sentence connected Du Chen and Jiang Hongyun to the battle that was about to break out.
Li Jingbai didn't say what qualifications Du Chen had to like her, in fact, Dong Li also knew that he could be wishful thinking for Du Chen, and Du Chen regarded her as a friend at most, and he couldn't talk about liking her.
Li Jingbai didn't say that Du Chen had any qualifications worthy of her liking. If it was just because Du Chen had saved her twice, just because Du Chen was a clever doctor, chivalrous, and had the same philosophy and benevolent heart as himself, it was far from enough.
Therefore, what Li Jingbai said was that she had the qualifications to like Du Chen, to like a Du Chen who couldn't even be solved by Jiang Hongyang.
"Hehe... Do you regret being born in the Dong family? β
"Yes, the Dong family has given you supreme glory, you are a high-ranking eldest lady. In your generation, there is no girl in Minghang City who has surpassed you in identity, and it is too late for you to make countless people envious! However, the Dong family also deprived you of the right to like someone at the same time. β
Li Jingbai smiled, her smile was a little desolate, and she didn't know if she was pitying Dong Li or herself.
Li Jingbai is from the Li family, and the Li family in Xijing is a family that is not weaker than the Dong family in Minghang in any way. As a person who has come over, Li Jingbai understands the sadness of being a child of a big family best.
"Hehe... Dong Li, you are from Lumen. Throughout the ages, in addition to intermarrying with people from Fumen, the only choice for the people of Lumen was Shoumen. For thousands of years in China, the three doors of Fu Lu Shou were interdependent and could only intermarry within the three gates. In the past hundred years, although the three major literary gates have been hidden, and ordinary people do not know the existence of these three major literary gates, these dead rules have not changed.
If you dare to violate this rule, not only will you have to bear the consequences, but Du Chen will have to bear the consequences, and even your family will have to bear the consequences. Although Du Chen has a close relationship with Lin Yingnan, I have investigated and found that he is not from Shoumen. You like him, think for yourself, what right do you have to like him? Can you afford the consequences? Can your family afford it?
In Minghang, the only person you can marry is Zhang Shaofei, in addition to Zhang Shaofei, maybe the following Jiang Hongyang is also a choice for you, Shoumen has been in decline for decades, but in general it is still one of the three major literary gates. These two people depend on how you choose, as for Du Chen, you don't have this qualification! β
"Aunt Jingbai, don't say it." Dong Li's expression was shocked. It's not that she hasn't thought about these problems at all, she just doesn't dare to face them. Think about it, how sad it would be if a girl didn't even have the qualifications to like someone? Now that Li Jingbai has broken through the problem she has never dared to face in her heart, Dong Li's tears fell like a burst.
"Hehe..."
Li Jingbai seemed to be laughing at Dong Li, and seemed to be laughing at herself.
At this moment, Fang'er suddenly said, "Mom, can you help Sister Dong Li and Brother Du Chen." β
Li Jingbai scratched Fang'er's shoulders and said lovingly: "Why does mom want to help them? Fang'er is it good to give her mother a reason. β
"Cut. Why does mom have to act, if you don't want to help Sister Dong Li, why do you have to say so much to Sister Dong Li? β
Fang'er showed a disdainful expression on her face, like a mature and experienced adult, and said: "Actually, my mother has long known that Brother Du Chen is the big brother who saved me last time. Therefore, my mother will definitely help Sister Dong Li and Brother Du Chen. What's more, as a woman, my mother doesn't want Sister Dong Li to follow in your footsteps and marry a man she doesn't like. β
After listening to Fang'er's words, Dong Li was a little speechless, so it seems that her IQ is really not as high as this seven or eight-year-old girl. At the same time, she also raised a glimmer of hope and turned her head to look at Li Jingbai. With Li Jingbai's means, if she can help, she may really have the 'qualifications' to like Du Chen!
"Okay, we know that we Fang'er are the smartest! Don't be a good guy here..."Li Jingbai first pinched Fang'er's pink little face dotingly, and then turned to Dong Li and said, "Hehe... If it were someone else, I might not be able to help you, but he is Du Chen, but he has a chance. Du Chen is Lin Yingnan's junior brother, so he can be regarded as a person of half the Shoumen. Although the Lin family is not the master family of Shoumen, nor is it a major control family, it is also a big family, and there is Lin Yingnan's existence, maybe you and him are not completely without opportunities. It's up to you to fight for it. β
