Chapter 332 - Seats [Third]He didn"t know if it was because of Ji Feng"s domineering performance that made Second Master Ji"s heart tremble, or if it was because of the Tang family"s public support that Second Master Ji and Ji Shaohong didn"t dare to openly provoke him. Bubble! Books. Bar *
Until dinner time, no one dared to find trouble with Ji Feng, and it was obvious that Xiao Sumei"s status had skyrocketed. Not to mention that Zhang Yun"e had never dared to speak to her, even some of the other women only looked in her direction from time to time, not daring to be the slightest bit disrespectful.
They had received the warning from their husbands. If they didn"t have any other choice, they would have to avoid provoking the direct bloodline for now. That was because they were asking for trouble!
Women"s minds were extremely meticulous, and they were extremely sensitive to the changes in the outside world. When they saw the gazes that were originally filled with provocation, when they looked at them once more, they began to avoid them. Some of them even had a hint of flattery in their eyes …The two of them knew that their status in this family had skyrocketed!
In addition, the two of them were very clear that this silent transformation was related to Ji Feng coming to Yan Jing. In the past, when Ji Feng wasn"t here, they didn"t have such a position. In fact, anyone from the side branch would dare to mock them.
Of course, they all knew that this had a lot to do with the lordmaster"s recovery as well.
The old man"s return from his recovery was a huge blow to the other branches of the family. At the very least, they wouldn"t dare to make the slightest move for the time being.
One had to know, if they jumped too high and made the old tutor unhappy, just a single word from him would be enough to turn all of that person"s efforts into futility!
… …. Unless he left the clan!
But after leaving the family, how many people could truly rely on their own abilities to accomplish anything?
"Madam, it"s time to eat!" Little Ying ran over quickly and said in a low voice.
Xiao Sumei nodded slightly and said, "Hong Dan, let"s go quickly!"
"Sister-in-law, there"s no need to go there so early. Let them wait!" Even the normally gentle Liang Hongdan could not help but whisper, "They treated us like that in the past, but now they know that if we go too far, others will despise us!"
Xiao Sumei couldn"t help but smile, because there were more people today. During the meal, it would definitely be those men sitting at the same table, and the women at the same table.
Liang Hongdan"s words were clearly aimed at those women.
"Alright, let"s wait for a while before we head over!" Xiao Sumei could not help but laugh.
With her son"s arrival and the old man"s recovery, they could finally lift their eyebrows and show their satisfaction. With Xiao Sumei"s unyielding nature, it was already quite difficult for her to endure until now. She naturally had to express her dissatisfaction.
If she was bullied and didn"t retaliate, it wouldn"t be because of Xiao Sumei"s personality. If it wasn"t for the fact that she was worried that it would affect her husband, Xiao Sumei would have left long ago. At worst, she would just leave Beijing and return to Mang s.h.i.+ County."Sister-in-law, this time it"s all thanks to Little Feng!" Liang Hongdan said in a low voice, "I heard Zhenping mention that Little Feng had purchased a pharmaceutical factory in Jiangzhou?"
Xiao Sumei nodded slightly. She had naturally heard about this from Ji Zhenhua, but she did not know much about the details.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think? Since Xiao Feng is so capable, and his husband is also an engineer in the medical field, why don"t we let them work together?" Liang Hongdan could not help but suggest.Ji Yanhong, who was standing at the side, was slightly taken aback before she said, "Sister-in-law, this …"
She was naturally very moved by Liang Hongdan"s suggestion. Over there, the couple was not taken seriously, and the husband was just an honest technical staff. Normally, he was looked down upon and his family wasn"t very wealthy.
If Ji Feng really had a medicine concocting plant in his possession, working together with him would indeed be a good idea.
However, what Ji Yinhong was worried about was whether or not Ji Feng would have another opinion on the matter just because they were from a side branch and thus be unwilling to cooperate with them.After all, Ji Yanhong had heard of Ji Feng"s domineering performance when he came to Yan Jing this time.
To dare to order a guard to point a gun at Zhang Yun"e and even force Ji Shaoyu and Li Yating to kneel on the spot, one could imagine how powerful this person was!Xiao Sumei muttered to herself, "Little Sister Yanhong, I"m not too sure about this right now, because I don"t know what kind of factory Xiao Feng has set up or what he wants to do. Do you think this will work? When we get back, I will ask you in detail. As long as it"s okay, it"s definitely better to work with your own family! "
"Sister-in-law, then I"ll have you more." Ji Yinhong immediately nodded her head. Of course, she knew that what Xiao Sumei said was the truth. Actually, there weren"t many women from large clans like them who were truly involved in the clan"s decision-making and other businesses.
Of course, Ji Yinhong also knew that a lot of people from other branches of families would have a good time in the market. However, she was very clear that if she asked them to cooperate with her husband, it would be as if she was begging him. Ji Yinhong would rather starve to death than do something that would be looked down upon by others.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they waited for the next duty officer to come and invite them. Only then did they look at each other, smiled, and got up to leave.
When the three of them arrived at the front courtyard, everyone had already taken their seats. The women who had followed their husbands over sat at one table, while the third generation youths from the other branches sat at another table.
Seeing Xiao Sumei and the other two come over, the other youths from the other branches immediately stood up and greeted them.
They had all heard about what had happened. It was this aunt"s son, Ji Feng. Not only did he dare to provoke the Second Master, he even humiliated Ji Shaohong in front of him!
Young people like them, who had nothing better to do, were even more afraid to prance around.
The women who used to look coldly at Xiao Sumei and the other two, on the other hand, were clearly fl.u.s.tered. Xiao Sumei held the initiative here; she was the mistress of the Ji Clan. No one could say anything even if she chased them out.It was at this moment that they realized in horror that the country woman they had always looked down upon had already become the Ji Clan"s matriarch, not just in name, but with the support of the old man and her overbearing son.
Some people couldn"t help but secretly feel fearful. If Xiao Sumei took the opportunity to get even with them now …Unexpectedly, not only did Xiao Sumei not settle the scores with them, she even greeted everyone in an orderly manner. She could almost remember everyone"s name on the table, and with a smile, she encouraged them. While those people were relieved, they were also secretly excited.
Being praised by the matriarch was a glorious honor that would make others proud!
As for Zhang Yun"e and the rest, they were secretly shocked, but they had no choice but to submit to him.Xiao Sumei"s performance was that of the matriarch of an aristocratic family. Under her n.o.ble and elegant appearance, she gave off a faint majesty that made no one dare to have the slightest intention of offending her!
Ji Feng noticed his mother"s reaction from the corner of his eyes and could not help but smile. His strong character had finally worked. With his strong backing, his mother was more confident.
"Little guy, come sit over here!"
A candid and confident voice immediately attracted everyone"s attention.
In front of the oval table, everyone, including Grandpa Ji, sat the same as they had in the living room. But the Tang Ancestor casually pulled out another chair from the side and placed it next to him.
"Come sit beside me!" Old Tang patted his chair, not caring about the feelings of the others in the slightest.
Ji Feng lightly smiled as his gaze landed on his grandfather"s face. This seating arrangement was actually a symbol of one"s ident.i.ty, and one would also require the approval of his grandfather.
"Little monkey, go ahead and sit!" Old Man Ji nodded with a smile. He was never stingy in supporting his grandson at critical moments, especially when Ji Feng was Old Man Ji"s favorite grandson.
When these words were spoken, everyone couldn"t help but raise their eyebrows.The old man actually agreed to let Ji Feng sit there. Didn"t this mean that in the old man"s heart, Ji Feng was already considered the successor to the family head of the third generation?
Many people did not look too good. The old gramps action really made them feel uncomfortable, but no one dared to refute it. After all, strictly speaking, it was the same as what Ji Feng said. They were also guests, so where did the old gramps arrange the seats for?
Ji Feng lightly smiled as he nodded his head. His face didn"t reveal the slightest trace of oddity. He only took large strides to the Tang Ancestor"s side and sat down safely.
As for what the others" expressions were, and what they were thinking, he wasn"t going to think about it.
"Let"s eat!"
The lordmaster"s words were bland, but held an unquestionable dignity.Ji Feng couldn"t help but to laugh in his heart. His grandfather was using a series of methods today to teach the other branches and establish his own status at the same time.
At the dinner table, the others were all laughing and talking softly. Only the Tang family"s old patriarch was in a bad mood, clinking cups with Ji Feng from time to time!
By the time he finished his meal, the sky had already turned completely dark. Perhaps it was because he was too useless today, Second Master Ji did not stay for more than half a minute before leaving in Ji Zhenye"s car.
Ji Zhenhua also left because he had work to do.
The only ones left were the two young men, Ji Feng and Ji Shalei. To Ji Feng"s surprise, Ji Xiaoyu and Qingrou were there as well.The four of them were staying in the guest rooms in the second courtyard when Ji Shaolei and the other two suddenly walked into Ji Feng"s room.
"Second brother, you"re still not sleeping?" Ji Feng asked with a smile.
"Sigh!" I can"t sleep, my head hurts! " Ji Shalei seemed to have no choice. He handed Ji Feng a cigarette and the two of them lit it.
Ji Feng could not help but laugh, "What happened? Too much wine? "
"Drinking is a small matter!" Ji Shalei smiled bitterly, "The key point is, after eating, my uncle gave me a post, saying that he wants me to attend some banquet …" To put it bluntly, this is just a banquet held between the children of a few aristocratic families. The purpose is to have everyone go on a blind date."A blind date?!" Ji Feng was taken aback.
He had sent the third one over, and there were still two more left.
