Chapter 331
“Cousin Shao Hong, I’m curious to know how you can have such a gentle smile on your face while a cold light is flashing in your eyes?” Ji Feng chuckled and asked, rather surprised, “Could it be that Cousin Shao Hong can have multiple minds? Or is it just that the appearance is not the same?”
Silence!
A dead silence!
Everyone was half-heartedly stunned by Ji Feng’s question and stared blankly at Ji Feng who had a bland smile on his face, he, what was he saying just now?
The original gentle and elegant smile suddenly froze on Ji Shao Hong’s face, and even with his extremely deep city and what he thought was a very good connotation, he was shaken by Ji Feng’s question, and did not react for a long time. **He didn’t react for a long time.
The next one, Ji Shaojun, even grew his mouth and looked at Ji Feng with a face full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
He, how could he ask this?
Even if everyone knew that Ji Shao Hong was indeed like what Ji Feng said, with a gentle smile on his face while his eyes were flickering with coldness, this was a clear case of honey in the mouth and a knife hidden in the smile. Ji Shao Hong’s character, in the whole family, but anyone who knows him, should all know this character of his.
Even in private, there are many people in the younger generation who call Ji Shao Hong a smiling tiger, so you can know what kind of character Ji Shao Hong really is.
But ……
Even if you know Ji Shao Hong’s character well enough, and then see his inconsistency, how dare you ask it to his face? Moreover, or in front of so many elders, ask such a direct question?
Not only Ji Shaojun, but even Ji Shaolei, who knew of Ji Feng’s sharp words, was likewise viciously shaken by his words, and without paying attention, almost didn’t bite his tongue off under the fierce shock!
He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air and looked at Ji Feng with the same blank stare, but the laughter in his heart was like a volcano erupting upwards.
Ji Shaolei clenched his fist, unclenched it, clenched it again, and unclenched it again …… Just like that, he was still holding back tremors all over his body before he could force himself to finally not laugh out loud!
“Lao San this kid is really …… too bad!” Ji Shaolei was suffocated by that strong laughter, his face was red and his body was trembling, he was even thinking that if it was himself being asked such a question in front of so many elders, I’m afraid that he would have already smashed his fist ruthlessly over.
However, Ji Shao Hong was not himself, so he could not smash it over, nor did he dare to do it!
If Ji Shao Hong dared to do it here, it would be like he had smashed his own future with his own hands, and there would be no possibility of repairing his relationship with the first family ever again!
However, if you do not do it, this question is really …… maddening to ask!
Ji Shaolei took several deep breaths in a row, and only then was he able to suppress the intense laughter in his heart, and he shifted his gaze to Ji Shaohong’s face to see how he would answer.
The others, too, looked towards Ji Shao Hong.
Ji Zhenping was the only one who was sitting there trembling all over, he even immediately put down the cup of tea in his hand, afraid that in case he accidentally drank the water, Ji Feng would ask some extreme question again, he believed he would absolutely spurt out a mouthful of water!
When Ji Zhenhua heard his son ask this question, he couldn’t help but feel amused, this kid is really ……
A strong feeling of anger immediately surged to the head, Ji Shao Hong gripped the cup in his hand cackling, so that the Ji Shao Lei next to him could not help but secretly laugh badly, if this life is plastic, I’m afraid it will all be raw and crushed by Ji Shao Hong, right?
This question really made a face of Ji Shao Hong have no place to put.
However, to Ji Shaolei’s surprise, after taking a deep breath, the incomparably stiff smile on Ji Shaohong’s face gradually stretched out.
“Oh ……” Ji Shao Hong actually managed to laugh out, a gentle smile reappeared on his face: “Little Feng, that’s a bit wrong, joking should also be divided into occasions, you see, this is what I want to teach you! ”
Ji Feng instantly grinned, “Thanks to Cousin Shao Hong, I’ve been taught!”
Ji Shaolei pulled Ji Feng a few more steps faster and arrived in front of his grandfather and said with a smile, “Third son, these next few elders introduced are all grandfather’s old men, they all once saved grandfather’s life, don’t lose your manners in front of these elders!”
“Sh*t!”
Once Ji Shaolei’s words came out, Ji Feng couldn’t help but secretly roll his eyes, thinking to himself that second brother was also bad enough.
What do you mean don’t lose your manners in front of these elders?
Does this mean that you can be rude in front of other elders?
The entire living room, in addition to the elders of the family side, it is the side of the family side, according to Ji Shaolei’s words to understand, that means, in the side of the family side can be rude!
…… This is not rubbing salt into people’s wounds!
This elder, is grandfather’s old ministry, grandfather Tang. This is Grandpa Tang’s son, Uncle Tang!”
Ji Feng immediately greeted the two politely.
But Grandpa Tang laughed, “Little friend, I don’t like this look on your face, there’s no need to talk so much about manners in front of me, you saved my life, that’s my life-saving benefactor, I wouldn’t dare to forget that!”
“Yes, Ji Feng, my family father and I and all still owe you a great favor, haha ……” Tang Jianguo also laughed next to him.
Once these words came out, everyone was stunned beyond belief, Ji Feng had actually saved Elder Tang’s life?!
At this moment, everyone’s gaze towards Ji Feng became very different. In particular, the second master Ji was even more stunned in his eyes.
Ji Feng had saved Elder Tang’s life, and the latter had even publicly admitted here that Ji Feng was his benefactor, which undoubtedly meant that Elder Tang was openly supporting Ji Feng, and he was doing so without reservation!
Originally, everyone thought that Ji Feng was just a wild boy from a gra*sroots background who had no backing or backing at all, while the second master over here was able to speak in front of Elder Ji, so in comparison, Ji Feng did not have any advantage at all!
But now, with the full support of Elder Tang, who would dare to underestimate Ji Feng again?
For a moment, the crowd was shocked speechless by this news.
A strange colour flashed across Ji Shao Hong’s eyes, and his face suddenly became even more ugly.
Ji Shaolei was similarly shocked by this news, and he gave Ji Feng a surprised look before laughing, “Third son, let me introduce this elder to you, Elder Tie!”
Ji Feng was stunned, it turned out that this old man with a rigid face and extraordinary aura sitting next to Elder Tang was actually Grandpa’s personal guard for his entire life, Tie Long!
“Good day, Grandpa Tie!”
Ji Feng felt admiration in his heart for this old man who had protected his grandfather all his life and was so loyal. This was because Ji Feng knew very well that with Grandpa Tie’s ability, going down to lead an army was not a problem at all, and his achievements would definitely not be worse than Grandpa Tang’s.
However, this old man chose to stay by his grandfather’s side, and this loyalty alone made Ji Feng admire him.
“Good! Good!”
Old Master Tie’s face, which had been calm, revealed a smile, “Young Master Sun, I’ve heard Tie Jun talk about you, very impressive, very impressive!”
Once these words came out, everyone was once again shocked.
Those who were familiar with Elder Tie knew that he rarely praised people, and was usually silent, hardly ever hearing him speak.
But now, he had given Ji Feng such a high praise, which was incredible.
The face on Ji Erji’s side became even more ugly, but he didn’t know what to say.
Several heavyweights sitting in the living room had all spoken out in support of Ji Feng, which really caught them off guard, and even left them a bit at a loss!
Ji Feng immediately smiled and said, “Grandpa Tie has over-appreciated me, I just did what I should have done!”
“That’s good!”
Old Grandpa Tie nodded, “Recognising yourself clearly, keeping your place and doing what you should do, not bad! The old chief has a grandson like you, so I, an old man, am relieved!”
The second master Ji and Ji Shao Hong’s faces suddenly looked ugly, with Ji Feng around, old man Tie was relieved, that meant that no other sons and daughters could enter old man Tie’s eyes?
“Alright, since you’ve met the elders too, find a seat and sit down and wait for dinner!” Ji Zhenhua said indifferently, he was worried that Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei, the two brats, would say something else that would embarra*s the people over there, and then it would be very unattractive if they couldn’t come down from the stage.
“It’s better to forget it.” Ji Feng shook his head and laughed, “Dad, me and second brother should go out first.”
Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei looked at each other and turned around and left the door at the same time.
“Hahahaha ……” Just as the two of them went out, behind them came Elder Tang’s extremely cheerful laughter, this time, the elder laughed even more cheerfully than he did just now, the sound seemed like it was going to lift the roof over.
Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei were dumbfounded to laugh at the same time, Master Tang was really enough …… for him to laugh so recklessly, undoubtedly sprinkling another handful of salt on the already hot face that had been beaten over there, of all the people here, I’m afraid only Master Tang dared to be so reckless, right?
“San’er, you have ruthlessly shocked the people over there today, ha!” After leaving the door, Ji Shaolei finally couldn’t hold back any longer and laughed out loud, “That was painful!”
Ji Feng, however, smiled faintly, “It’s nothing, the people over there …… are not enough to be feared!”
Ji Shaohong is too gloomy, this kind of person, destined not to achieve great things, at most, it is just a small fight.
And the second master of Ji, himself, is disrespectful for the old man, much less anything worthy of Ji Feng’s scorn.
What is especially important is that Elder Ji has been silent today, so the words of Elder Tang and Elder Tie are undoubtedly representative of his meaning.
The words that Elder Ji wanted to say were clear enough, openly supporting Ji Feng, and anyone who dared to oppose it would first have to think about whether he had such strong support from Elder Tang and Elder Tie behind him.
Chapter 332
I don’t know if it was because of Ji Feng’s incomparably strong performance that made Ji Erji’s side have scruples in their hearts, or if it was because of Elder Tang and Elder Tie’s public support that made Ji Erji and Ji Shaohong not dare to provoke openly anymore.
All the way to dinner, no one dared to find trouble with Ji Feng again, and obviously, Xiao Su Mei’s status has also skyrocketed, not to mention that Zhang Yun’e has not dared to come to talk, even some of the other women, but only from time to time to look this way, but do not dare to have half a bit of disrespect.
They had all been warned by their husbands that they should not mess with the first family unless they had to, because that would be asking to be embarra*sed!
Xiao Su Mei and Liang Hong Dan sensed this change very keenly, women’s minds are extremely delicate, and are most sensitive to changes in the outside world. When they saw those eyes that were originally full of provocation, when they looked at them again, they all started to become evasive, and some even had a hint of flattery in their eyes ……
The two of them knew that their status in this family had risen dramatically!
Moreover, both of them knew very well that this silent change could not be unrelated to Ji Feng’s arrival in Yanjing. Because in the past, when Ji Feng had not come, they did not have such a status. Even a random person from the side line dared to insinuate sarcasm at them.
Of course, they all knew that this had a lot to do with the old man’s recovery as well.
When the old man returned from his recovery, it would be a major blow to the members of the side line, and they would not dare to make any more moves, at least for a short period of time.
You know, if they bounce around too much and displease the old master, all he needs to do is say a word and it will be enough to make all that person’s efforts futile!
…… Unless one leaves the family!
But after leaving the family, how many of them can really make a difference on their own ability?
“Madam, it’s time to eat!” Xiao Ying quickly ran over and said in a low voice.
Xiao Su Mei nodded slightly and said, “Hong Dan, let’s hurry over there!”
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need to go over so early, let them wait a bit!” Even Liang Hongdan, who had always been mild-mannered, couldn’t help but whisper, “They treated us so badly before, now let them know that being too much will turn others off!”
Xiao Su Mei couldn’t help but smile, because there were more people today, and during the meal it was definitely those men sitting at one table and them women at another.
This comment from Liang Hongdan was obviously directed at those women.
“Well then, we’ll wait for a while before we go over!” Xiao Su Mei couldn’t help but laugh.
With their son here and the old man recovered, they could finally raise their eyebrows for once. With Xiao Su Mei’s fierce temperament, it was actually not easy for her to hold back until now, so now she naturally had to slightly express her displeasure.
If you’re bullied and don’t fight back, that’s not Xiao Sumei’s character. In the past, if it wasn’t for the fact that it would affect her husband, Xiao Sumei would have left long ago and exploded, the big deal was to leave Yanjing and go back to Mang Shi County again, it’s not like she hadn’t done that before!
“Sister-in-law, this time, it was thanks to Xiao Feng!” Liang Hongdan whispered, “I’ve heard Zhenping talk about it, it seems that Xiao Feng has acquired a pharmaceutical factory in Jiangzhou?”
Xiao Su Mei nodded slightly, she had naturally heard about this matter from Ji Zhenhua, but she did not know much about the specific details.
“Sister-in-law, do you think this would work, since Xiao Feng is so capable, and Yin Hong’s husband also happens to be an engineer in medicine, why not let them cooperate?” Liang Hongdan couldn’t help but propose.
Next to her, Ji Yinhong was slightly stunned, and then said, “Sister-in-law, this ……”
For Liang Hongdan’s proposal, she was naturally very moved, over there, the couple was not valued, and her husband was also just an honest technician who was usually treated with disdain, and her family was not very rich.
If Ji Feng really had a pharmaceutical factory in his hands, it would indeed be a very good offer for the two of them to cooperate.
However, what Ji Yinhong was worried about was whether Ji Feng would think otherwise and be unwilling to cooperate with them just because they were from a different family.
After all, Ji Feng had come to Yanjing this time and that kind of strong performance, Ji Yinhong had also heard a little about it.
Daring to order the guards to hold a gun on Zhang Yun’e, and even forcing Ji Shaoyou and Li Yanting to kneel on the spot, one could imagine how strong such a person was!
Xiao Sumei mused: “Sister Yin Hong, I can’t say much about this matter for the time being, because I’m still not sure how big a factory Xiao Feng has set up and what he’s going to do. If you think it’s okay, I’ll ask carefully when we get back, as long as it’s possible, it’s better to cooperate with our own family!”
“Sister-in-law, more for you then.” Ji Yinhong nodded her head at once, of course she knew that Xiao Su Mei was telling the truth, in fact, like these women from their large families, not many of them were really involved in family decision making or other businesses, it was also true that Xiao Su Mei did not know the inside story.
Of course, Ji Yinhong also knew about the fact that many people from the side lines were making a name for themselves in the shopping malls, but she knew very well that if she offered to let them work with her husband, it would be like begging, and Ji Yinhong would rather starve to death than make that kind of move that would make people look down on her.
The three of them joked and laughed, and waited until an orderly came again to invite them, before they looked at each other with a smile and got up to go.
When the three arrived in the front courtyard, everyone was already seated, the women who had followed their husbands were sitting alone at one table, while the young men of the third generation who were on the sidelines were also at one table, and the old man, along with some others, sat at another.
When they saw the three Xiao Su Mei coming, those young people from the side lines immediately hurriedly stood up one after another and kept greeting each other.
They had all heard about what had happened earlier, that it was this eldest aunt’s son, that brat called Ji Feng, who not only dared to provoke even the second master, but even Ji Shao Hong had been defeated in front of him, disgraced!
They, the useless youngsters, could not dare to jump up and down even more.
The women who used to look at Xiao Su Mei with a cold shoulder were now panicking, for Xiao Su Mei had the complete initiative here.
It was only then that they were shocked to realise that this woman from the countryside, whom they had always despised before, had actually become the head mother of the Ji family, not just in name, with the strong support of the old man and her powerful son.
Some people could not help but secretly fear that if Xiao Su Mei now took the opportunity to settle accounts with them ……
What was unexpected for these people was that Xiao Sumei not only did not settle old scores with them, but also greeted everyone in an orderly manner. She was able to remember the names of almost everyone at the table and smiled a few words of encouragement, making those people breathe a sigh of relief and feel secretly excited at the same time.
It was an honour to be complimented by their mother!
Zhang Yun’e and the others, on the other hand, were secretly shocked, but they had to be convinced.
Xiao Soumei’s performance was exactly the style of the mother of a great family, a faint majesty set off by nobility and elegance that made everyone not dare to take any further offense!
Ji Feng’s afterglow saw his mother’s performance next to him and could not help but smile slightly, his own forcefulness had finally had an effect, with himself as a strong backing, his mother’s bottom line was also much stronger.
“Little one, come and sit over here!”
A bright and mid-range voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
In front of the oval table, everyone, including Elder Ji, was seated in the same order as before when they were in the living room. But Elder Tang casually pulled another chair from the side and placed it next to himself.
“Come and sit next to me!” Elder Tang patted the chair, not caring about the feelings of the others in the slightest.
Ji Feng smiled faintly, but his gaze fell on his grandfather’s face; this seating position was actually a status symbol, and again, he needed his grandfather’s nod to do so.
“Little monkey, go over and sit down!” Master Ji nodded with a smile, at critical moments, he was never stingy in giving support to his grandson, especially when Ji Feng was also the old man’s favourite grandson.
When these words came out, everyone couldn’t help but look sideways.
The old man had actually agreed to Ji Feng sitting there, did this not mean that in the old man’s heart, Ji Feng was already considered the third generation heir to the family head?
Many people’s faces did not look good, this move by the old master really made those people uncomfortable in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out against it, after all, strictly speaking, it was just like what Ji Feng said, they were also guests, where did they dare to object to whoever the old master arranged to sit where?
Ji Feng smiled and nodded, there was not the slightest difference on his face, he just took a big step to the side of Elder Tang and sat down peacefully.
As for what the other people’s expressions really were and what they would think in their hearts, he wasn’t going to think about that.
“Let’s eat!”
The old man’s faint words had an unquestionable majesty to them.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but smile in his heart, Grandpa was hammering the sidekicks through today’s series of ways, and at the same time laying down a position for himself.
At the dinner table, everyone else was smiling and speaking softly, except for Elder Tang, who clinked his gla*s with Ji Feng from time to time, so cheerful!
By the time the meal was finished, it was completely dark, perhaps because today was just too naff, Ji Erji didn’t even stay for half a minute more before he took Ji Zhenye and the others’ car and left together.
Ji Zhenhua also left as well because he had work to do.
All that remained were the two young men, Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei, and to Ji Feng’s surprise, Ji Xiaoyu and Wenxin were also there.
The four of them were staying in the guest room of the second courtyard when Ji Shaolei and the three of them suddenly walked into Ji Feng’s room.
“Second brother, still not sleeping at this late hour?” Ji Feng asked with a smile.
“Ugh! Can’t sleep, my head hurts!” Ji Shaolei looked helpless and handed Ji Feng a cigarette, and the two of them lit it.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “What’s wrong? Too much wine?”
“Drinking is a small thing!” Ji Shaolei said with a bitter smile, “The key is that after eating, my younger uncle gave me a post, saying that he was going to let me attend a banquet of some kind …… In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a reception held between the sons and daughters of some big families, the purpose is to let everyone go on a blind date, and when they see eye to eye, the parents of both sides then talk! ”
“A blind date?!” Ji Feng couldn’t help but freeze.
