Chapter 121: Fainting
Father Jiang intended to officially introduce Jiang Feng to the upper class society of Haishi, so this birthday banquet was very grand.
On the day of the banquet, the villa was completely decorated. From the entrance to the house, the floor is covered with Persian carpets.
It's a cold day outside, but inside the house it's summer.
Flowers flown in from abroad at high prices are placed everywhere, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, which is mixed with the aroma of various precious wines on the table, forming a unique fragrance that makes people intoxicated.
The crystal chandelier overhead exudes a soft light, and the brightly dressed high society of the sea market shuttles through the hall, pushing cups and changing lamps, and staggering.
I took Jiang Cheng's hand and greeted the guests one by one.
After speaking to a guest, Jiang Cheng whispered in my ear: "If you are tired, go over and rest, I am here." ”
"I'm not tired." I said with a smile.
I said this, in fact, I still wanted to take a break, but when I saw Jiang Mu with a black face not far away, I immediately dispelled this idea.
From the time Jiang's mother knew that Jiang's father wanted to introduce Jiang Feng on her birthday, Jiang's mother didn't have a good face, and until the banquet began, she had this expression.
In addition, seeing Su Xinyuan coming, Jiang's mother did not have a good face.
I can understand Jiang's mother's feelings very well, the former daughter-in-law suddenly became her younger brother and sister, and no one can accept it.
And the people around him pointed at each other, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Jiang Mu even more unbearable.
If it weren't for Jiang's father's birthday, I'm afraid that Jiang's mother would have thrown her hands away.
Su Xinyuan seemed to be unaffected, still talking and laughing with acquaintances.
Seeing that Jiang's mother's face was getting darker and darker, Jiang Cheng said to me, "Yao'er, you go to accompany your mother." ”
To be honest, I don't want to go over, for fear that Mother Jiang will spill her anger on me. However, Jiang Chengdu spoke, and I have no reason to refuse.
I nodded, let go of Jiang Cheng, and walked towards Jiang Mu.
"Mom, Ah Cheng asked me to come and accompany you."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's name, Jiang Mu's face softened a lot.
I sat beside Mother Jiang, looked at her ugly face, and sighed in my heart.
Jiang Feng has been in the Jiang family for so long, and Jiang's mother still has a deep prejudice against him, and because of him, Jiang's mother and Jiang's father have always been quarrelling.
"Mom, there are so many people today." I tried to divert Mother Jiang's attention and ask her not to stare at Father Jiang and Jiang Feng.
"Hmph, what about more? It's not about making wedding dresses for someone else. ”
I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Jiang's mother's words.
"Auntie, sister-in-law."
Hearing the voice, I looked at Jiang Xue like a savior.
Looking at Jiang Xue's slightly bulging belly, I gave her a place, "Xiaoxue, you are pregnant, sit down." ”
Jiang Xue smiled at me and sat in the position I had just now, right next to Jiang Mu.
Seeing that Jiang Xue made Jiang's mother laugh in a few words, I walked away from Jiang Xue without a trace and distanced myself from her.
Because of Su Xinyuan's incident, I already have a psychological impact, in case something happens, it's better to stay away from pregnant women.
"Xiaoxue, how has Chen Feng treated you recently?"
Hearing Mother Jiang's words, I also looked at Jiang Xue and waited for her answer.
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Recently, he has been good to me. ”
Mother Jiang sighed and said with a hint of grievance: "Xiaoxue, you listen to your aunt, a man can play outside, but he can't let him get a child, otherwise there will be no status for you in the family in the future." ”
I think that Jiang Mu's words are ostensibly saying to Jiang Xue, but in fact she is talking about herself, it seems that Jiang Feng's matter has hit Jiang Mu a lot.
Jiang Xue listened intently and assured, "I must be optimistic about Chen Feng." ”
I looked at Jiang Xue funny, Chen Feng can hide Jiaojiao in the golden house under her nose, she said that she can be optimistic about Chen Feng, I don't believe it.
"Sister-in-law and Xiaoxue are talking about something interesting, laughing so happily, tell me about it."
As soon as Su Xinyuan's voice came out, Jiang Mu's face that had just eased a lot collapsed again, and Jiang Xue also had a trace of embarrassment.
But Su Xinyuan sat beside Jiang Mu as if she hadn't seen anything, holding her hand.
Jiang Mu's face was as ugly as eating a fly, and she said coldly: "It's nothing." ”
Jiang's mother's words were very perfunctory, Su Xinyuan didn't care, just smiled.
At this time, I don't know who said that Master Jiang had arrived, and everyone turned their heads to look and saw Father Jiang and Jiang Feng walking downstairs together.
The two walked onto the temporarily arranged stage, and Jiang's father held the microphone with a happy face.
"Today Jiang first thank you for your face, today is not only Jiang's birthday, but also the day when Jiang Feng, the second son of the Jiang family, recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors."
As soon as Jiang's father's words fell, Jiang's mother's face on the side turned black again, as if a storm was coming.
Clearing his throat, Father Jiang continued: "This is my second son, Jiang Feng, please take care of me." ”
Jiang Feng took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Feng." ”
Although Father Jiang has been training Jiang Feng, his habits for more than 20 years are not something that can be changed, and when facing so many people, Jiang Feng is still a little timid, and his legs tremble slightly.
"A beggar is a beggar, and he doesn't look like a prince when he wears a dragon robe." Jiang Mu spit out this sentence coldly.
Jiang Mu's voice was a little loud, I quickly looked around, and the eyes of the people around me were focused on Jiang Feng, but no one noticed us.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if others heard Jiang's mother's words and reached Jiang's father's ears, the two would have trouble again.
After briefly introducing himself, Father Jiang walked up to a group of people of similar age with a smile, chatted with them, and looked at Jiang Feng beside him from time to time, probably introducing Jiang Feng.
"Congratulations to my sister-in-law for having another son." Su Xinyuan said suddenly.
Jiang Mu's face froze, and there was hidden anger on her face.
I looked at Su Xinyuan in surprise, she has always been delicate and very good at talking, why did she suddenly say such things that made Jiang's mother angry?
Unless she did it on purpose.
"Just by what qualifications he has to be the son of the Jiang family and his aunt." Jiang Xue said disdainfully.
Su Xinyuan smiled, with an unfathomable expression, "Some people are indeed not qualified to be members of the Jiang family, not only are they not worthy of being members of the Jiang family, but they are not even qualified to be people." ”
She had something to say, but I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't have a clue at all.
"Auntie, it's a little stuffy here, I want to go out for a walk." Jiang Xue said to Jiang Mu.
"There are a lot of people, you find a maid to accompany you, be careful of your stomach."
"Okay."
After Jiang Xue left, I was left with Su Xinyuan and Jiang's mother, neither of whom spoke, and I was also embarrassed, so I found a reason to leave.
I picked up a glass of wine on the table, and I saw Jiang Feng and Chen Feng walking shoulder to shoulder, looking like two brothers.
Not to mention, it's a pity that Chen Feng and Jiang Feng don't be friends, they are the same shameless, obscene and obscene. Two people together are a wolf, an embarrassment, just make up an embarrassment.
When I saw them smiling lewdly, I knew they must be playing with some bad idea.
I withdrew my gaze and inadvertently saw that Bai Ye was also in the crowd.
I walked over with my glass and was surprised, "Why are you here too?" ”
Bai Ye said a few words to the people around him, then walked up to me and said with a smile: "For this banquet of the Jiang family, most of the people in Haishi have received invitations. ”
"I see."
After I finished speaking, I suddenly felt an extra hand on my waist. I turned my head to see that it was Jiang Cheng's handsome face.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's stunned face, I guessed that he wouldn't have seen me talking to Bai Ye before coming over.
"President Bai seems to be quite idle lately, and I can see you everywhere."
"Jiang Shao is with each other."
The two looked at each other, their eyes glittering with fire.
"I heard that President Bai is preparing to enter real estate recently?" Jiang Cheng asked suddenly.
"Jiang Shao is very well-informed, and I have this intention." Bai Ye nodded in acknowledgement.
Jiang Chengyi pointed out, "Real estate is not like the clothing industry, not everyone can get involved. ”
Bai Ye said calmly: "Who can tell the things in the mall, and I don't know who is the final winner if I don't gamble." ”
"I'm afraid that if I lose the bet in the end, I will lose my life."
"As long as I can get what I want, I am willing to pay as much as it costs."
Jiang Cheng paused, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "If President Bai doesn't regret it, you can give it a try." ”
Not to be outdone, Bai Ye replied: "If you don't try, you'll regret it." ”
I looked at the two people playing dumb riddles with black lines, if it weren't for Bai Ye's eyes being too hot, I really thought they were talking about real estate.
I glanced at Bai Ye complicatedly, obviously I had made it clear to him that I wouldn't like him, but he didn't seem to listen at all.
After thinking about it, it is better to stay away from Bai Ye and not let him have any illusions about me.
"The banquet is about to start, let's go first, President Bai, please."
"Jiang Shao, please."
Jiang Cheng took my hand and left, and after I nodded to Bai Ye, I left without looking back.
A few minutes later, the banquet officially began.
Jiang Cheng, as the eldest son, took me and Jiang Feng to say blessings to Jiang's father.
"Dad, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." We spoke in unison.
"Good, good." Father Jiang said three good words in a row, and his eyes turned red, "Ah Cheng, Ah Feng is your younger brother, and the Jiang family will rely on you in the future, you and Ah Feng will support each other." ”
"I understand, Dad." Jiang Cheng said calmly.
"I'll get along well with my eldest brother, Dad." Jiang Feng also said.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Cheng pulled me down, and Jiang Xue and the others came up in turn to say blessings to Jiang's father.
When that's done, the guests take their seats and start serving.
When she picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, Jiang Xue suddenly said, "I made longevity noodles for my uncle in the kitchen, and I will bring them to my uncle." ”
Mother Jiang stopped Jiang Xue, "You can sit down with a good stomach and let the maid get it." ”
Jiang's mother turned her head and wanted to call the maid, but the maids were busy serving the food and couldn't find anyone for a while.
Seeing Jiang's mother's gaze at me, I stubbornly said, "I'll go get it." ”
I got up and went to the kitchen, just in time to see a steaming bowl of noodles on the table.
I carefully took out the noodles and put them in front of Jiang's father's table, and Jiang's father picked out two chopsticks and put them in a small bowl, and ate them.
Not long after eating, Father Jiang's face suddenly darkened, and then he fell to the side.
