C1898 Family Banquet(1)
Fann Binn didn't pay any attention to the staff member. He wouldn't be in such a bad position that he would have an argument with Chu Ming's subordinates. As long as the fellow who plotted behind his back did not give up, he, Fann Binn, would be constantly harassed by others in private in this competition.
However, Fann Binn did not have the slightest fear. To him, perhaps because of Chu Ming's obstruction during the competition, he was full of confidence when he went to the Tianyu family this time. Not only did he need to learn the inner arts and mental cultivation methods, he also wanted to propose marriage to Yu Yide. He wanted Yu Rong to marry him, but if he couldn't overcome this little obstacle, would he still be able to see Yu Rong? Could he still let Yu Rong be with him? This was obviously impossible.
Ignoring the staff member, after registering, Fann Binn turned around and left the National Sports Center. At this time, he thought about it and decided to take a taxi to Chiang Weiguo's house. No matter what, he had to talk to Chiang Weiguo about Qin Zhentian and the Xie family. He wanted to let the reformist know in advance that they could make preparations.
When he thought about the revenge from the big shots in the military, he felt a little uncertain. Perhaps, Qin Zhentian was the strongest opponent he had ever met in his life? Of course, calling him an opponent now was still a long way away. However, in his heart, he already had the feeling that a storm was coming... He knew very well that Qin Zhentian would never let this matter rest!
After registering at the National Sports Center, Fann Binn took a taxi to Chiang Weiguo's house. When he arrived, he saw Chiang Weiguo and his daughter, Chiang Wenli, standing outside the door. He could not help but smile and greet them. He was a little flattered. "Uncle Chiang, you see, I didn't say I would come by myself. Why would I need you to wait for me outside the house?"
"Haha, Fann, I'm not here to welcome you. I'm here to receive your congratulatory gift! My daughter has already told you about the wedding, and she insisted that I ask for a congratulatory gift from you. I dare not disobey! "Chiang Weiguo patted Fann Binn's shoulder with a smile and joked. " After going to Yujing Garden, I'm afraid this congratulatory gift will be bigger, right? How is it? How are you feeling after meeting the chief? "
If nothing had happened to Xie Yimi, Fann Binn might be in a good mood right now. However, it was different now. When the incident with Xie Yimi happened... Qin Wenjing found out the truth about Qin Zhentian turning against him. These muddy waters were mixed together, so even if he was in a good mood, he was afraid that they would all disappear like smoke.
However, facing Chiang Weiguo's concerned words, he could only helplessly smile bitterly. " Borrowing Uncle Chiang's auspicious words, the harvest was indeed very bountiful. Of course, I won't forget the congratulatory gift for the engagement of my uncle's daughter. However, it's better to wait until the day of your engagement before giving it to her. Giving it to her now isn't sincere at all."
"Fann Binn, don't listen to my father's nonsense. I didn't mean it that way. He's a busybody. I don't believe that no one would believe that you, Fann Binn, wouldn't give him a big gift. " Chiang Wenli smiled and twitched her mouth as she glared at Chiang Weiguo. Don't look at what she said. In fact, the smile on her pretty face had not stopped until now. It seemed that the engagement was already about seventy to eighty percent done.
"Wenli, you... Someone has said something bad about you. Fine, I can only be the bad guy. However, from Fann's mouth, the word rich came out. I think his results in this trip to Yujing Garden must be pretty good. Let's go, let's go inside and chat while eating dinner. Let's talk a lot. " When Chiang Weiguo said this, he smiled and said," There are no outsiders at home today. They are all my family members. No one will disturb us. "
Fann Binn nodded. He knew that Chiang Weiguo said this because he wanted to tell him that they were the only ones for dinner tonight. He did not invite anyone else. This was enough to show that Chiang Weiguo treated Fann Binn like his family. He was touched and followed Chiang Weiguo and Chiang Wenli into the military compound.
At this time, Chiang Wenli looked at Fann Binn and smiled. " Fann Binn, Tang Hao said that on the day of our engagement, there were many relatives and friends from the two families who wanted to come. My father said that the extravagance must not be small, and that in order to influence the situation, we must leave the city. It would be best to choose a quieter place. We didn't think of any good places at the moment, but in the end, Tang Hao thought of a good place. But I'll have to trouble you to help us rent a place."
Fann Binn, who had walked into the yard, was obviously stunned when he heard this. He said with some amusement, " Wenli, I didn't hear it wrong, right? The Jiang family and Tang family are both famous families in the capital. Why do you make it seem like I am more familiar with them than you are in the capital? Are you kidding me? Where did your father settle this matter with just a word? Do you need me to go out and rent? Wenli, I don't have the time to joke with you. "
" Who's joking with you? This job still needs you to take it. " Chiang Wenli rolled her eyes at Fann Binn and waved her hand." Alright, I am too lazy to explain to you. I will let Tang Hao tell you later. "
"Uh... Tang Hao is also at your house?" Fann Binn was a little surprised. There were a lot of things to prepare before the engagement. Why did this Tang Hao have the time to sneak into his future father-in-law's house and get free time for half a day? Chiang Weiguo was really generous. He actually chased him back. The more Fann Binn thought about it, the more amused he became. He could not help but speed up his footsteps. He had to hit this good brother's wooden head properly.
With quick steps, Fann Binn was the first person to enter the house. However, before he could take a look at the spacious living room, he heard the sound of oil smoking in the kitchen. Tang Hao's voice immediately drifted out of the kitchen.
"Mom, I'll do it, I'll do it. I can stir-fry this dish... Hehe. About that, I've already cut the chili for you. Since there's nothing else, I'll bring the dishes out first. It's no trouble, it's no big deal! Don't give me a chance. The more you ask of me, the more progress I can make!"
Tang Hao's voice could be heard from time to time in the kitchen. Fann Binn almost burst out laughing on the spot. He wondered why Tang Hao did not go out with Chiang Wenli to welcome him. In the end, it turned out that he ran into the kitchen to curry favor with his mother-in-law. Sigh, what is this called? This was completely called forgetting one's brother when one had a wife. It was a typical example of forgetting one's feelings when one saw sex!
Before Fann Binn could list out all the criticisms he had for Tang Hao in his heart, the kitchen door was opened. Tang Hao walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of freshly cooked vegetables in his hand. He was wearing an apron that was obviously used by Chiang Weiguo's wife. There seemed to be some oil stains on his face. He looked extremely funny. Fann Binn did not know about Tang Hao. This guy had never entered the kitchen before. He was trying to please his mother-in-law. He had used up all of his strength.
"Fann Binn! Haha, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a while. If it wasn't for Dad saying that you would only be here after a while, this dish would have been ready a long time ago." Tang Hao, on the other hand, was thick-skinned. This kid didn't feel awkward at all and directly placed the dish on the dining table. Only then did he warmly say, "Come, come, come. When you come here, treat it as your own home. Quick, take a seat. I'll pour tea for you. Kid, you haven't made a single brew in school for so long. I heard you went overseas to have fun? Hey, it's really comfortable. "
Fann Binn saw that Tang Hao had already become the master of the Jiang family. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He could only cough dryly and say, "Tang Hao, you're really good. You haven't even been to the Jiang family yet. You think you're a wife? Hey, look at how intimate your parents are shouting. Uncle Chiang, do you have a hot face? I'll get you a basin of cold water to wash you. "
" Pfft... "Before Chiang Weiguo could react, Chiang Wenli, who was drinking water beside him, could not help but smile and spit out the water. Fann Binn's words were too joyful. He was obviously laughing at Tang Hao for not having any moral integrity in his father-in-law and mother-in-law's home. Chiang Wenli also thought that Tang Hao was flattering her too much. After she finally stopped laughing, she also echoed him. " Fann Binn is right. I haven't married this guy yet. I feel like I have become an outsider in this family, and he has become its master."
" Wenli, who would say that? Fann Binn is making a fuss, and you are also making a fuss? " Chiang Weiguo saw the two of them using words to insult Tang Hao, and he could not help but support them. " Isn't Tang Hao already my prospective son-in-law? It's no big deal to call him Mom and Dad. I like it. "
Tang Hao said gratefully," Thank you for your support, dad. Fann Binn, don't just stand there and say things that don't hurt your waist. If you go to your father-in-law's and mother-in-law's house, you won't be much better than me. As the saying goes, marrying a wife was the order of a matchmaker. If your father-in-law's and mother-in-law don't serve you well, you still want to marry someone else's daughter. Isn't that just a dream?"
Fann Binn shook his head and did not comment on his words. But thinking about it, it made sense. He married Chiang Weiguo's daughter. It was normal for him to feel pressured. Just based on Chiang Weiguo's status and identity, he was known as a wise man who understood the situation. If he really put on a stern face and didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to treat him as his son-in-law.
"Alright, alright. Don't always laugh at Tang Hao. Come, sit down. Our family has to eat." Chiang Weiguo seemed to be biased towards his future son-in-law. He saw that Tang Hao was being mocked by Fann Binn and Chiang Wenli at the same time. Can't help but say something to help shift the line of sight. Unfortunately, Chiang Weiguo was the well-deserved boss of the family. He said to shut up and eat. Of course, the only way was to obey.
After the last dish was stir-fried, Chiang Weiguo's wife also came out of the kitchen to carry the dishes. When she saw Fann Binn, she couldn't help but smile. " Fann is here? Hehe, come and taste your aunt's braised pork ribs. The freshly baked pork ribs are really fragrant."
Fann Binn hurriedly responded with a smile. He was just about to take a piece for himself. Chiang Weiguo's wife quickly helped him put the rib into his bowl. At this time, she also picked up another piece and put it into Chiang Wenli's bowl. She smiled and said, "Wenli, you should try it too. This taste is not bad."
At this time, Fann Binn and Tang Hao almost looked at Chiang Wenli at the same time. Both of their eyes clearly revealed a trace of worry.
Yes, Chiang Wenli's mother was not Chiang Weiguo's current wife. Furthermore, Chiang Wenli's relationship with her was very tense. Their family relationship was not harmonious enough. Fann Binn was not the only one who knew about this. Tang Hao must also know about it. Otherwise, he would not have revealed his nervousness at this moment.
At this moment, Chiang Weiguo's wife clearly wanted to please Chiang Wenli. She wanted to improve their relationship, but if it was the previous Chiang Wenli, she probably would not thank her for this kind of kindness. Not only that, but also... On the contrary, he would get angry when he was done.2
At this moment, Chiang Wenli looked at the braised pork ribs in the bowl. After hesitating for a while, she looked up at her mother and said stiffly, "Thank you... Mom."
