Perfect Life [Rebirth]

Chapter 114

Chapter 114

"Ah Heng, Miss Ye, Cheng Qi and Yuehua are distinguished guests who are not easily invited. What are you still doing there? Come over and meet them. You may have to ask Yuehua for help in the future." Cui Yue had undoubtedly seen Wen Yuehua's embarrassment before. She said this to undoubtedly win Wen Yuehua's attention. She smiled and explained to Wen Yuehua, "Yuehua, you don't know, among the younger generation of our family, there is only Ah Heng who likes reading. This child has been excellent in both character and learning since he was young. After graduation, he went to work in the scientific research department of the army..."

Everyone present here is either rich or noble, or at least the son of a wealthy or powerful company. To ordinary people, showing off their academic performance may be something worth celebrating, as it is an opportunity to change their fate. However, to those who are attending the banquet today, they do not think highly of it at all. After all, aren't the children from ordinary families trying so hard to improve their academic performance just to find a better job opportunity?

As someone who can provide such an opportunity, hearing this is undoubtedly like hearing a huge joke.

"Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, please come in." Rong Heng walked forward holding Ye Qing's hand. Even though he knew Wen Yuehua's identity, his attitude remained calm, without any surprise or flattery.

"Mr. Rong is working in the military?" Wen Yuehua looked reserved... She was used to being the center of the crowd wherever she went, and being surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars. Rong Heng's indifferent attitude made her feel upset. "I wonder which department he is in? My father is also a soldier. He is currently in the L Province Military District..."

Wen Yuehua's father is Wen Jianhai, who is currently working in the Logistics Department of the L Province Military Region. He holds the rank of colonel. At the age of just over 40, Wen Jianhai can hold such a high position, which undoubtedly means he is a young and promising man.

"Eh, what a coincidence?" Cui Yue turned to look at Ding Xiuwen and said meaningfully, "I remember my second sister-in-law mentioned that Ah Heng seemed to be in L Province, right? We really need to get closer to him in the future. If Ah Heng's work doesn't make any progress, we can find a way to change his position. When we get married, we won't have people saying sour things about our Ah Heng behind his back... Am I right, Miss Ye?"

The so-called sour words naturally refer to the fact that Rong Heng is not worthy of Ye Qing and is a gigolo.

But such words can be said behind people's backs, but now that so many guests are here, it will undoubtedly make Rong Yuanhan's family more embarrassed. Ye Qing was also embarrassed.

Ye Qing seemed not to understand Cui Yue's teasing. He smiled slightly and turned to look at Rong Heng beside him. His expression was full of trust and admiration:

"There's no need to change positions. Rong Heng is already very powerful now!"

He nodded to Cui Yue again: "Don't worry, I will work harder to make myself worthy of Rong Heng..."

You're just pretending to be rich. Cui Yue sneered, feeling like she had eaten a fly. She had fought with Ye Qing before, but she had never taken advantage of him. Although she was upset, she couldn't say anything.

Others were obviously a little amused...

Should we say that the second son of the Rong family is indeed very capable, or that the eldest daughter of the Ye family is too stupid?

Or is it both?

Judging from the second branch's behavior, it's obvious that they want to use the Ye family to gain face. Otherwise, why would they instigate Ye Qing to say such flattering words in front of so many people that would give people goose bumps?

If you have enough ability, you should at least stay in a luxurious metropolis like Zhongdu. But according to the third wife of the Rong family, they are struggling in the local area.

It's really easy to coax a country girl. Only the naive Miss Ye would believe in the talk of being great.

"Please come in, everyone." Cheng Yan glanced at Ye Qing and Rong Heng indifferently, but intentionally kept a distance between them and the guests coming and going. "Yuanhan, you guys wait outside for a while and see if there are any more guests coming."

Most of the important guests have arrived. Even if there are other guests, they are just small fry and naturally not worthy of the eldest wife's family waiting here.

As he spoke, he led everyone to the club.

The others followed, and soon only the second family of four were left in front of the clubhouse, which had been bustling just a moment ago.

When Rong Yun walked past Rong Heng, he paused for a moment, glanced coldly at Rong Heng and Ye Qing, curled the corners of his mouth, and passed by the two of them.

Seeing that everyone else seemed to be indifferent, it was obvious that they were already used to this kind of thing...

In fact, this is the treatment Ding Xiuwen has received since she got married.

During the holidays, when the family gathered at the old house for dinner, Ding Xiuwen's position was not much different from that of a servant. She was always based in the kitchen, running around with the housekeeper, preparing dishes, while the other sisters-in-law wore beautiful clothes and chatted in the living room, talking about Zhongdu gossip, clothes and other self-proclaimed elegant topics.

Because men and women were seated separately, Ding Xiuwen once watched the chef in the kitchen finish cooking all the dishes, only to find that the old lady didn't even leave a seat for her...

When it came to such a grand banquet, Ding Xiuwen's role changed from a cook to a doorman. He always had to stand outside until the end and had to wait outside until the banquet started.

Even when Ding Xiuwen showed signs of grievance, the old lady of the Rong family scolded her coldly:

"Can you compare with your eldest sister-in-law and your younger sister-in-law... Tell me, among all these distinguished guests, is there anyone you know who can entertain them?"

These may seem like small matters, but they actually hurt Ding Xiuwen a lot. It wasn't until Rong Heng was locked up in the small dark room that Ding Xiuwen completely exploded. After that, the other members of the Rong family also restrained themselves. Even if they still looked down on Ding Xiuwen, they could at least save face by ignoring her instead of ordering her around like a servant.

Now Cheng Yan is using the same old trick again, which is undoubtedly related to Rong Yun’s previous setback.

At the moment, let alone Cheng Yan, even Old Lady Rong, Ding Xiuwen is not afraid. Not to mention that there is also her beloved daughter-in-law Ye Qing. She can wrong anyone, but not her daughter-in-law, right?

He acted as if he hadn't heard anything and just greeted Ye Qing:

"Qingqing, let's go sit inside. It's cold outside..."

As soon as Cheng Yan turned around, she heard Ding Xiuwen say this and was immediately furious.

But she was proud of her status, so she couldn't say anything in front of so many people. It was also Old Madam Rong's birthday party, so she couldn't show off. She just turned her eyes to Rong Yuanhan, obviously wanting Rong Yuanhan to come out and stop her.

But Rong Yuanhan didn't respond to her at all...

When they first got married, Old Madam Rong always cried in front of Rong Yuanhan and complained about how much she had suffered in order to help Rong Yuanhan become a talented person. However, Rong Yuanhan disobeyed his elders and insisted on marrying Ding Xiuwen, a woman from the rural area.

And because he was disobedient and married a wife who could not help the family at all, he brought shame to the family and made her unable to hold her head up.

Rong Yuanhan felt guilty for disappointing Old Lady Rong. Even with this mentality, he couldn't stand up to defend Ding Xiuwen when he saw her being wronged.

But that was in the past. After so many years, Rong Yuanhan had already lost heart as he saw that he, his wife and even his children had suffered all kinds of grievances, but the Rong family was still getting more and more unreasonable.

Not to mention, he values ​​Ye Qing no less than Ding Xiuwen.

It doesn't make sense that the eldest wife's nephews and nieces-in-law are all honored guests, but my own daughter-in-law has to suffer injustice before she even enters the Rong family.

He immediately called out to Rong Yun and Rong Qing without any politeness:

"We are all older now, and it's time for you youngsters to step up and do the socializing. You two and Ah Heng stay here for a while, and wait until most of the guests have arrived before going in."

These words were undoubtedly a direct rejection of Cheng Yan. As for Rong Yun and Rong Qing, since they were named, they couldn't ignore it and had to stop.

Although it was warm inside the club, it was still chilly outside. Rong Yun and Rong Qing were not prepared to stand outside for a long time, so they were wearing thin clothes. If they stood until the banquet started, they would be frozen into popsicles.

As for Rong Heng, as soon as he came out, Zhang Yue immediately ran back to the car to get him some thick clothes.

The Second House is really going to break up with me. Cheng Yan sneered. It was just like what Cui Yue said. She gave the Second House too much face. This person should not be spoiled. But such an important occasion is undoubtedly a great place for her son Rong Yun to accumulate connections. Cheng Yan will not let Rong Yun miss this opportunity:

"Look at me, how could I forget that your family also has distinguished guests to accompany this year...Okay, the guests should be almost here, let's all go in."

Everyone present was smart, and they saw the conflict between the first and second branches of the Rong family, but no one was optimistic about the second branch...

To put it nicely, Rong Yuanhan and his wife are professors, but to put it bluntly, they are just poor teachers.

The son is a nerd, and in the family, only the identity of the future daughter-in-law Ye Qing is worth looking at.

It's hard to say whether their marriage will be successful in the end. Even if she gets married, the Ye family still has two sons. At most, she can get a little bit through the cracks to make the second branch of the Rong family live a more affluent life, that's all.

But Xiaoxiao's second branch was so proud just because of a daughter-in-law from a rich family. If the eldest branch of the Rong family showed off their power after today, it would be very miserable.

They had no intersection with Rong Yuanhan's family in the first place, so naturally no one would care about this family at this moment.

Looking around the club, people were well-dressed and chatting in groups of three or five. Only the second branch of the Rong family, which always consisted of five people including Zhang Yue, seemed to be an independent little kingdom, and had nothing to do with the noise in the room.

At noon, the protagonist of the day, the birthday girl, Mrs. Rong, finally appeared.

Cheng Yan and Cui Yue were the ones who helped her down from the upstairs. Rong Yuanfeng and his brothers were also there, and the marginal status of the second branch of the Rong family was once again clearly demonstrated.

Seeing Old Lady Rong coming down, Rong Yun, Rong Qing, and Rong Yuanhan's family of four quickly stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Rong happily held Rong Heng with one hand and Rong Qing with the other. She didn't even look at Rong Heng.

Immediately, a guest came forward to join in the fun:

"I wish you a long life. These are your grandchildren, they are truly the best of the best."

"Oh, you are too kind. I don't deserve to be called a rare talent." Mrs. Rong smiled even more. "They are just sensible, filial, and willing to work hard, so they can achieve some small achievements. It's really not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."

Seeing how Mrs. Rong spared no effort to praise her grandchildren, Ye Qing felt a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, he felt that it was not worth it for Rong Heng...

Usually, there are grandchildren, but why does the old lady act as if Rong Heng has nothing to do with her grandchildren? No wonder Rong Heng can't get close to this old lady at all. If it has been like this since he was a child, Rong Heng must have suffered a lot of grievances.

She quietly reached out and hooked Rong Heng's finger.

Rong Heng was a little surprised. Ye Qing would never do anything beyond the limit in public, so if he really wanted to hold her hand, he would have to wait until there was no one around.

This was the first time she took the initiative. When his girlfriend took the initiative to show her affection, Rong Heng naturally had to seize the opportunity. He did not wait for Ye Qing's hand to retract and directly held it in his palm.

The two of them standing hand in hand looked sweet and bright. They really stood out among the well-dressed guests.

Over there, the family of Rong Yuanfeng, the eldest son, presented a generous gift first. It was a traditional Chinese painting of peaches painted by Rong Yuanfeng himself to celebrate a birthday.

From an artistic point of view, this painting is undoubtedly a bit bland. But for Rong Yuanfeng, who is an official, it is quite good and fits his status as a Confucian official.

Old Madam Rong was so happy that others also came forward to flatter her:

“This is a good painting…”

"Yes, what is even more precious is this filial piety..."

What Rong Yun gave was a dragon-headed cane that he had polished by hand.

The most interesting gift given by Rong Yuan and Cui Yue was a pair of bracelets that were exactly the same as the ones that Old Lady Rong had liked before and wanted Ding Xiuwen to give them up but was rejected.

Mrs. Rong took it and glanced at Ding Xiuwen:

"You two are so thoughtful. Mom will accept your filial piety..."

"Brother, what gift did you and Miss Ye prepare for grandma? Take it out and let us see it..." Rong Qing winked at Rong Heng mischievously, "With Miss Ye's approval, it must be an incredible good thing."

"I dare not say it is extraordinary, but it is meaningful." Rong Heng smiled complacently, took a box from Zhang Yue and handed it over, "Because my work is satisfactory to the leader, I got some bonus, I'll give it to the old lady as pocket money."

Pocket money?

Everyone was stunned. Is this not what everyone thought?

Rong Qing had already run forward and took the box for Old Lady Rong...

It does feel quite heavy when you weigh it.

He rolled his eyes, but was stunned... The box was filled with a pile of 100-yuan bills. Judging from the thickness, it should be about 10,000 yuan.

Mrs. Rong's face suddenly darkened. Rong Qing just handed the box over, and either she didn't hold it properly or the old lady didn't catch it, the box fell directly to the ground, and the money was scattered all over the floor...

He is really useless. He sent some money here specially, isn't it just for Zhang Yang to become the son-in-law of a rich family?

He has brought disgrace upon the family.

Just as they were about to scold, there was a commotion at the entrance of the club. Everyone looked over and saw two majestic men in their fifties, coming over here with a few followers.

Judging from the other party's expression and behavior, they are undoubtedly superiors.

First Rong Yuanfeng, then Wen Yuehua, all looked a little surprised...

The others didn't recognize them, but they two did. The two men in front were the commanders of the two major military regions.
