Chapter 138: Birthday Banquet (2)
It stands to reason that after the dinner starts, there will be no guests coming again, even if a few are late, they will quietly enter the door, trying not to attract the attention of others, but when Cui Mingyuan said that he was emotional, there was a small commotion at the door, he looked in that direction dissatisfied, and inadvertently saw his son who could not see the light, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say.
His abnormality aroused the curiosity of those who did not know about the comer, what kind of person made the old and spicy Cui Mingyuan lose his temper?
Following his gaze, it turned out to be Fu Zijun and Ji Qingling, these two are definitely not Cui Mingyuan's friends, and even the relationship between the Cui family and the Fu family and the Ji family is still a little delicate recently, under normal circumstances, Cui Mingyuan will not send them invitations, and even if they receive invitations, they will not attend under normal circumstances.
Fu and Cui had some friendship in the past, so it was Zhao Yajing who came to the birthday banquet on behalf of Fu, seeing the appearance of Fu Zijun and his wife, everyone's eyes became a little subtle when they looked at her, and this graceful lady did not hide the anger in her eyes, her son and daughter-in-law never mentioned to her that she was coming tonight, where did she lose face?
However, more people paid attention to the young man behind Ji Qingling, his dress was no different from that of an ordinary college student, but it was incompatible with this luxurious banquet hall, and the most striking thing was the bruises on his face, not like he was here to celebrate his birthday, but like he was here to smash the field.
Who is he? Why was he brought to Mrs. Cui's birthday banquet by Fu Zijun and his wife? Isn't there another farce to watch tonight?
Everyone's eyes were immediately filled with interest.
"Mr. Fu-" Cui Mingyuan's henchmen stepped forward and stopped, trying to control the situation, but Fu Zijun and Ji Qingling were both well-known people in City A, and he didn't dare to offend the two of them too toughly, so he had to laugh dryly.
"I'm sorry, I was delayed just now, I think it's not too late to celebrate the old lady's birthday." Fu Zijun looked arrogant but polite and courteous.
"That's—" The other looked at the young man behind them with a hesitant expression, his outfit not in any way like the people in their circle.
"This classmate's name is Cui Xiheng, and he said that he is a relative of Mrs. Cui, since it is a relative, it is also appropriate to come to celebrate Mrs. Cui's birthday." Ji Qingling smiled with undisguised bravado, and was faintly oppressive, which once again refreshed others' impression of her, it turned out that the daughter of this nouveau riche was still an arrogant eldest lady.
Schoolmate? What a strange name. Or is it the surname Cui? Or is it a relative of Mrs. Cui? The man looked at it fixedly, and was surprised that this Cui Xiheng and Cui Mingyuan looked a little similar, he looked at Cui Mingyuan in panic, and found that his face was like the earth looking here, what else did he not understand in his heart?
Not only him, but also the people around who witnessed this scene also instantly understood, this kind of thing is not unusual in the circle, but at the old lady's birthday banquet, it is a little strange to recognize her relatives with an injury, and few people will come out to help play a round of this kind of thing, especially when the Fu family and the Ji family are clearly on the side of this young man, so they all put on a posture of watching a good show and wait to see the development of the situation.
Cui Mingyuan's assistant couldn't bear it, so he could only ask Cui Mingyuan for help, and those relatives of the Cui family couldn't sit still, especially Cui Mingyuan's younger brothers, they didn't have much say in the Cui family, but they just shared some red every year, and they were originally very dissatisfied with the eldest brother to hand over the Cui family to his only daughter, and he has been fighting for power and profit all these years, but he has been strongly suppressed by Cui Mingyuan, and recently heard that Cui Xinyi has become a madman, and finally has some hope in his heart, if the young man in front of him is really Cui Mingyuan's illegitimate son, Aren't they going to come out again to get a piece of the pie?
"There are so many people with the surname Cui in the whole world, if everyone claims to be a relative of our Cui family, wouldn't it be a mess?"
"Who told our Cui family to do some charity, and all cats and dogs will come forward."
"What a relative, we don't know him at all, kick him out!"
"There is no invitation, you can't let him come in casually, there are really no rules at all!"
Although Cui Mingyuan's younger brothers and sisters-in-law are not successful, they speak very harshly, and at this moment, they are full of fire towards Cui Xiheng, Cui Mingyuan is angry that this son appeared here so recklessly without saying hello to him, disrupting his overall plan, so he didn't say a word, and let them humiliate Cui Xiheng at will.
It's not that he doesn't love this son, on the contrary, compared with his daughter, he has deeper feelings for this son, and he spends more thought on him, in his selfish heart, Cui's qiē still has to be handed over to this son, but this qiē needs to be planned slowly, after all, he is also in the prime of life, and it is not yet imminent, so he needs to slowly hone this son with high hopes.
What's more, the most important thing is that when he is still in good health, he is unwilling to give up the power in his hands and is unwilling to lose control over the whole family.
Power itself is a poison that blindly makes people obsessed, and there is no need to care about family affection and righteousness in front of it.
Although Cui Mingyuan loves this son, but his son cares more about his power than the power in his hands, he thinks that he has controlled his son very well over the years, but he didn't expect that he would lose control, and he dared to openly disobey his orders and appear here loudly.
What does he want to do? Cui Mingyuan's eyes were gloomy, did he want to take this opportunity to blackmail him, directly recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and then usurp the throne and seize power?
Cui Mingyuan has always been very satisfied with this son, but today he wants to teach this child a thorough lesson, so that he will never dare to disobey him again.
The Cui family also has a strong eye, seeing that Cui Mingyuan does not defend this illegitimate child, he knows that he has no status in his heart, so he practiced Cui Xiheng to death, and insulted Cui Xiheng's own mother by the way, and even Ji Qingling frowned.
Cui Xiheng likes to pretend to be a hearty and sunny look, but his heart is very dark, he is a person who will be retribution, and he can't stand the slightest humiliation, he was humiliated by so many people in public, and completely stepped on his bottom line, even if he was fully prepared before, he didn't expect them to be so excessive, and at this moment he looked at Cui Mingyuan's eyes like he was quenched with poison.
He and his mother are too naïve, Cui Mingyuan is not sincere to them at all, otherwise where would these people be allowed to humiliate them like this?
The anger made Cui Xiheng lose his mind, he no longer wanted to care about his father's thoughts, everyone watched the young man who was still a little restrained just now walk to Mrs. Cui's side, smiled, and said sincerely, "Grandma, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
"Who's your grandma? Keep your mouth clean! Before Mrs. Cui could say anything, Cui Mingyuan's younger brother jumped out and shouted.
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Cui was not old and confused, she scolded her youngest son, swept away Fang Cai's anger and dissatisfaction, and looked at Cui Xiheng kindly, "You are Xiheng?" Come on, come on, let grandma take a good look at you! Grandma saw you today, it's the best gift. ”
As soon as Mrs. Cui said this, not only the Cui family was shocked, but even Cui Mingyuan looked at his mother in disbelief, because of the Lin family, he has been hiding Cui Xiheng well for so many years, and Mrs. Cui has been looking forward to him having a son, but he has never said it, how did she know about Cui Xiheng's existence?
Everyone who attended the birthday banquet was also surprised to discuss, Mrs. Cui's behavior was undoubtedly a recognition of Cui Xiheng's status as a grandson, this illegitimate son was really kind and scheming, and chose a good time to complete the recognition of ancestors and return to the ancestors that many illegitimate children dare not think of.
But Cui Mingyuan, one of the parties involved, never said a word, which is incomprehensible, and then thinking of the Lin family who is absent today, the Cui family's battle for the heir is very interesting, although Cui Xinyi is a daughter, but after all, she is the granddaughter of the Lin family, and she has an advantage in this point.
Ji Qingling and Fu Zijun have been watching the play on the sidelines since Cui Xiheng appeared on the stage, but Zhao Yajing felt that her authority at home had been challenged.
"Zijun, Qingling doesn't understand the rules, why are you messing around with her." In the end, she is a noblewoman, although she is angry, she is still graceful and decent.
Ji Qingling didn't feel inferior or angry because of her words about scolding Huai, she just looked at Fu Zijun with a smile on the side, this kind of thing should be handled by him.
"Mom, you're old, don't mess around with some things." Fu Zijun said coldly, "After toasting Old Madam Cui later, I will let someone send you back." ”
Old?! This is not ancient times, although her son is married, Zhao Yajing is only just over fifty years old, and because of the maintenance method, she still looks like a young woman in her thirties and forties, and she can't find a few wrinkles on her whole face, he actually said that she is old in front of so many people!
It's the other way around! It's the other way around!
Zhao Yajing is already angry, Fu Zijun has not been close to her since she was a child, and has always been partial to his father, which is also one of the reasons why she likes Cui Xinyi very much, since she can't have a caring daughter, it's not bad to let her son marry her back as a daughter-in-law in the future, at least there is a girl by her side every day who is filial piety and flattery, this feeling is still very good.
Unexpectedly, Fu Zijun actually married Ji Qingling, whom she despised the most, and now she is openly humiliating her for this woman, such a son, she would rather never have a son.
"Fu Zijun, your upbringing? I remember that I didn't teach you that, a man should be more mature and elegant after marriage, not only did you not influence others, but how could you be vulgar? No matter how angry Zhao Yajing is, she will not lose her elegance in front of everyone.
Others? She didn't even want to mention her daughter-in-law's name, and only replaced it with "others", because she wanted to sue everyone, did she never treat her as a family member? R1152
