Chapter 323: Dear Mother
After reaching a consensus with Master Wei, Chang Shenghua returned to the banquet hall with herβnote, the kind that is above board.
Wei Shishi was also a little strange at first, because she thought that Chang Sheng's painting would not reveal the cooperation between them.
As for herself...... Forget it, anyway, Master Wei is used to seeing the disregard or contempt of the Chang family, and she doesn't care how bad her situation can be.
Regarding Master Wei's broken jar, Chang Shenghua just smiled slightly, and his tone was light, but it was almost demagoguery: "Even if we are holding hands and appearing in front of them, they won't believe that I have anything to do with you, will they?" β
"You're right......" Master Wei couldn't help but nod when he thought of the evaluation of the two "sisters-in-law" in the future on Chang Sheng's painting of this "little sister-in-law".
- Gloomy, withdrawn, devoid of familial and cooperative concepts, like a poisonous snake walking alone in the world, no one of her kind can come close to her, and her sharp teeth and venom will target all who come near her.
Anyway, in the eyes of the Chang family, Chang Shenghua's little daughter is a marginal figure in their family, not only against their entire family, but also as if they want to oppose the entire human world.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Wei once watched the scene of the Dragon Destroying Brigade following Chang Shenghua in the all-army competition with joy and sincerity, I am afraid that she would not have let down her guard so quickly in the dressing room today and reached a consensus with Chang Shenghua.
The contempt of the Chang family and the strength of Chang Sheng's paintings made Master Wei, who was already ostracized, choose the opposing camp without hesitation.
What's more, even if she doesn't choose, what path can she take?
Just after the incident that happened during the all-army confrontation, Chang Youge hinted as quickly as possible that others were Wei Shishi who took the initiative to seduce him, which was enough to make Wei Shishi have no place in the army.
As a woman who is also from a military background, Wei Shishi is greedy for power but also hard-hearted enough, since Chang Youge is unkind to her, then don't blame her for being unjust, anyway, Wei Shishi is willing to make a scandal with Chang Youge, so he is naturally determined to kill Chang Youge, and even Chang Jia, who basically showed his will to give up on her.
On the way to the engagement banquet, Master Wei knew very clearly what kind of road he would lead.
As a guide, Chang Shenghua was very satisfied with Master Wei's expression at this time, which means that she came to the engagement banquet today and unexpectedly received a surprise - this is a nail nailed to the heart of the Chang family.
People are always so easily induced - it has nothing to do with good or evil, but inducement is inducement after all, and it is they who make the choice, right?
Man, you always have to pay for your desires.
The hustle and bustle of voices gradually became louder, suggesting that the two of them were about to step into the battlefield.
Chang Shenghua stopped a few meters away from the exit and looked at Master Wei with a near-perfect smile, as if he was the best template for caring about his future family.
Chang Shenghua asked softly, "Are you ready, master?" β
Master Wei didn't mind Chang Sheng's overly affectionate title, and the sweet and smiling tail note pushed the "preparation" on various levels to her heart, forcing her to hold her beating heart and prevent inappropriate words from pouring out of her throat.
"Hmm...... I'm ready. Master Wei heard himself say in an unprecedentedly calm tone.
Chang Shenghua once again showed a smile that seemed to be sincere, "Very good, let's go." β
They held hands with each other, raised their feet, and walked into the engagement banquet intimately like best friends.
As the hostess of this engagement banquet, although everyone knows the funny and ridiculous generosity of this banquet, but the existence of Master Wei is still conspicuous, when she and Chang Shenghua appeared at the same time, Chang Sheng's unfamiliar face made many people a little puzzled, and those who knew Chang Sheng's painting brought a little fun.
As the person who brought Chang Sheng's painting to the scene, Qin Shanqi saw this, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately, so as not to burn his eyebrows in the next war.
Don't ask him why he is so anxious, although he has only met Chang Sheng twice and spent no more than five hours together, it is enough for Qin Shanqi to understand the horror of this woman!
Qin Shanqi ran to his eldest brother in despair to seek refuge, for Qin Shanyao's sake, the Chang family should not trouble him...... Right?
If it weren't for Chang Gong Jin's desire to build momentum for Chang Youge's return to the military headquarters, showing Chang Youge's introspection and Chang family's overtures, Chang Qijian and the others would not even attend this banquet that was destined to be humiliating, including Chang Chongji, who had to rush back after a business trip.
Therefore, when Chang Shenghua and Wei Shishi appeared together, the people of the Chang family were the slowest to notice, and when an elder of the Chang family noticed the familiarity brought by Chang Sheng's painting, he whispered a few words to Chang Gongjin uncertainly.
Chang Gongjin listened, and his eyes instantly carried an almost terrifying coercion, and forced him in the direction of Chang Sheng's painting.
can make the head of the Chang family change his face on the spot, and Chang Shenghua can't help but show a respectful and nostalgic smile when he sees it, as if he really has respect for his old father who has not seen him for many years.
Master Wei took a deep breath, and under the angry gazes of Chang Qijian, Chang Youge and others, she led Chang Shenghua to Chang Gongjin, and shouted with a smile: "Uncle Chang." β
Chang Gongjin didn't respond, just looked at Chang Shenghua with his eyes, his eyes were sharp and full of scrutiny, not like a father, just like a boss who was dissatisfied with his subordinates.
Chang Shenghua looked at this man who had more wrinkles than she remembered, of course, that critical and disgusted attitude still did not change at all, and even intensified, she was quite satisfied with the influence she brought, and the corners of her mouth curved out of a deep arc.
"Dad," Chang Shenghua shouted in a sweet voice, as if she was really the legendary little daughter of the Chang family, "I heard that the third brother is engaged today, and I will come back to surprise you." β
Chang Gong Jin's face was ugly again.
Many people are paying attention to this young lady of the Chang family, who never attends any social occasions, and when they hear this, they can't help but show a strange expression.
Whether it's "heard" or "surprised", it sounds like it's full of meaning......
Chang Gongjin was silent for a few seconds, and then said lightly: "It's good to come back." β
If Ning Shaoming was on the scene, he would definitely find that Chang Sheng's paintings didn't look like Chang Gongjin anywhere, but the tone of his speech was eight points similar - referring to when Chang Sheng's paintings were not pretending.
At this time, Chang Shenghua is playing the role of "a filial daughter who has returned from being away for many years but has been neglected by the family", and her demeanor and movements are very different from usual, given that almost no one here is familiar with her, so Chang Shenghua easily sells her first impression.
It is not surprising that the Chang family became "wicked" under the words of Chang Sheng's painting.
However, due to the unexpected appearance of Chang Sheng's painting, Chang Gongjin and others did not notice this detail, they just speculated in their stomachs about the reason for Chang Sheng's painting's move, and did not hesitate to guess in the most malicious direction.
As the male host at the engagement banquet, Chang Youge, who was talking to the guests next to Chang Gongjin, was the second person to speak, and from an unobtrusive angle, his gaze at Chang Sheng's paintings seemed to have dark venom, full of resentment, jealousy, and unwillingness.
"Xiaoliu is back," Chang Youge could barely hold back his smirk, "You're so busy, I thought you weren't going to come to your third brother's engagement." β
Chang Shenghua said lightly: "The third brother has been so good to me since I was a child, even if there is no invitation, how can I not be willing to come?" β
Chang Youge's jaw tightened slightly, "Xiao Liu's words are ...... You are from the Chang family, what else do you need to invite? β
Chang Shenghua looked a little surprised, "That's it...... That's good, I don't have to rub the invitation card next time I come over. β
Her words seemed to be a good-natured joke, but there were several muffled laughter around her.
If nothing else, it's a bit embarrassing that the housekeeper who receives the guests doesn't know the little master of his house.
The guests couldn't help but imagine Chang Shenghua being turned away and having to ask for help from the guests who came to the engagement banquet.
Chang Youge's face almost pulled down uncontrollably, but Chang Gongjin gave him a warning look, and successfully kept Chang Youge's expression in a somewhat distorted state.
Master Wei could hardly hold back the red lips that he wanted to curle.
Under the appearance of Chang Sheng's painting, Master Wei, who led her to appear, basically had no sense of existence, and she didn't care, she just glanced at Chang Youge through her thick eyelashes, and felt very happy that he was not calm enough at this time.
She made the right choice, didn't she?
At this time, Chang Qijian and the others all noticed the movement here, and approached with surprise and disgust.
Chang Gongjin didn't care about the reaction of his children, he just looked at Chang Shenghua with stern eyes, and his tone was like a harsh order: "You should inform your family, instead of acting in a way that does not conform to your identity." β
Chang Shenghua raised his eyebrows, but didn't refute anything, "I know, Dad." β
The previous Chang Sheng paintings were not so obedient, and Chang Gongjin's eyebrows quickly gathered a little suspicion - he felt that Chang Sheng's paintings must have other plans.
Sure enough, Chang Shenghua quickly showed a helpless expression, "I originally wanted to give you a 'surprise' a day in advance, but I was tripped up by some accidents. β
She emphasized the word "accident" and turned her gaze to the left of Chang Gong Jin.
Chang Gongjin subconsciously followed Chang Sheng's line of sight, and happened to see the dressed Chang family's housewife, his steproom, Chang Sheng's mother, Feng Xiangzhen, hurriedly walked over.
"What's wrong?" Feng Xiangzhen, who was just chatting with a group of noble ladies, asked, she still didn't know what was going on.
"Aunt Chang." Master Wei reminded her to look at Chang Sheng's painting beside her.
Feng Xiangzhen instinctively glanced over there.
Counting the three years that Chang Shenghua spent training and carrying out missions in You-Know-Who, Feng Xiangzhen only had a glimpse of her daughter before going abroad, which can be said to be the last ten years.
Under the time distance between the age of eighteen and twenty-eight, the face painted by Chang Sheng, who had not even left a solo photo in Chang's house, naturally became very unfamiliar.
So Feng Xiangzhen almost subconsciously asked: "Who is this ......?" β
Chang Gongjin's face turned blue in an instant.
Someone around burst out laughing.
Chang Shenghua's face was obviously stiff, and then he smiled and said, "Dear Mother, you ...... Drink like a fish? β
