Chapter 4 Just stand for a while

1338 Words
Entering the hotel lobby, they saw that a table of fine banquets had been neatly set up. People who came and went wore gold and silver. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes. People were holding glasses and chatting happily. Ding Mengyan led Jiang Ce to a table in the middle at the end of the hall. She smiled at an old man, "Grandpa!" This old man was Ding Zhong, the current head of the Ding family. He narrowed his eyes, "Hey, Mengyan, why don't you come early? I'm so anxious to wait for you. Hurry up, come and sit down. " Turning his head again, he saw Jiang Ce beside Ding Mengyan and asked in doubt, "Who is this?" Ding Mengyan lowered her head, "He is my husband, Jiang Ce." "Oh?" Ding Zhong looked at Jiang Ce up and down, "I heard you went out to be a soldier. I didn't expect you to come back today. Come on, sit down." "Thank you, Grandpa." While Jiang Ce just sat down, Ding Fengcheng, opposite the table, asked in a strange way: "Brother-in-law, you've been out for five years, doing well, huh?" "It's just ok." "Is it? Do you have a shuttle when you come back? " "I don't like the red tape. It's gone." Ding Fengcheng laughed, "Red tape? Ha, can you stop pretending? Everything in the army is set in stone, how can you just save it? You weren't sacked for lack of ability, were you? " All the relatives on the table were jokingly looking at Jiang Ce, with contempt in their eyes. Jiang Ce didn't say much. Ding Fengcheng wrongly believed that it was a sore point to Jiang Ce and he had nothing to say. He continued deliberately ambiguously, "But it's fine, your Jiang family still has the Jinmeng Technology, so even if you don't have a good time, you won't starve to death when you come back." Jiang Ce's face changed slightly at the mention of this matter. Ding Mengyan is even more angry. The matter of Jinmeng Technology was all over the city, and it was impossible for Ding Fengcheng not to know about Jiang Mo's suicide by jumping off the building. He said so in public is to humiliate Jiang Ce. Some others 'kindly reminded' him, "Fengcheng, what did you say? Jinmeng Technology has long been owned by He Yaolong, what's it to do with the Jiang family?" "Oh, oh, yes." Ding Fengcheng looked at Jiang Ce, smiled darkly, "I'm sorry, I have a bad memory. I forgot." He pattedd his own chest, "But don't worry, even if you don't do well and the company is gone, you won't starve to death. I'm your brother, I'm sure I'll take care of you. I see that you're in pretty good shape, otherwise, come and work in my company as a security guard or a doorman, I'll give you a salary of six thousand yuan a month, how about it?" "Enough!" Ding Zhong groaned, making Ding Fengcheng shut his mouth. "We're all family, so be more careful what you say from now on." He looked at Jiang Ce again, "Jiang Ce, you are not in a good condition now. I hope you can work harder and catch up. Otherwise, I don't think it's necessary for you to come to the family dinner." Ding Fengcheng and others cheerfully watched Jiang Ce made a fool of himself. Ding Mengyan's face was pale, and she had never been so humiliated in her life. As for Jiang Ce, he had already recovered his calm. There didn't exsit any slightest anger and sadness on his face. It seemed that what others said has nothing to do with him. Ding Zhong looked at his appearance and patted the table angrily, "The young man isn't worthy to be taught." At this time, outside the hotel door came bursts of whistle sound. More than a dozen white BMW cars formed a long line and drove to the door of the hotel. The middle car was a silver and black Bentley worth more than a million, showing the dignity of identity. "Elder sister and brother-in-law are coming!" Ding Fengcheng stood up happily. At the same time, he did not forget to look back and satirize Jiang Ce: "My brother-in-law is also a soldier back in the army, look at this row, this display, also a soldier, why is there such a big difference? And you say you don't like the red tape. Oh, you do want to like it, does anyone welcome you? Not to mention the motorcade!" "Stop talking nonsense. Follow me to pick up your elder sister and brother-in-law." Ding Zhong got up and walked toward the door. Others got up and followed him. To be able to have the old man personally greet them, one could see the noble status of them. Coming to the door, Ding Zhong stood still. The Bentley door opened, then Ding Ziyu took her husband Tang Wenmo's arm and stepped out of the car. "Dad, why do you come to pick it up yourself? It's really a shame to me." Tang Wenmo said in a gruff voice. "Take it easy, you are the deputy commander of the war area. I'm just an ordinary citizen, shouldn't I come out to greet you?" "Dad, don't say that. Hurry up, come inside, don't get chilled." "Go, come in." The group surrounded Tang Wenmo in the middle and welcomed him inside the house like a star. "Come, Wenmo, Ziyu, sit down beside me." The old man was so delight to welcome Tang Wenmo and Ding Ziyu to his side. He always had a warm smile on his face, which was a big difference from his attitude towards Jiang Ce. A table with ten seats was missing one seat, as it wasn't expected that Jiang Ce would come in the first place. "Oh, one seat short." Ding Fengcheng said. Ding Zhong glanced at random and said faintly: "Jiang Ce, you can just stand for a while, and then ask the waiter to bring you a chair later." His tone was flat, and he didn't care about Jiang Ce at all. Ding Mengyan on the other side was so angry that she squeezed her fists, but there iwas nothing she could do about it. Jiang Ce grinned bitterly and stood up beside the table. Ding Zhong was chatting and laughing with Tang Wenmo, and kept asking about the latest situation. He hadn't even said any words of concern to Jiang Ce just now. The disparity was evident. After talking for a while, the elder sister Ding Ziyu pointed to Jiang Ce , "Little sister, this is your husband, Jiang Ce, who is away as a soldier, right?" "Right." "In other words, it's the first time I've seen him. How come no one introduced it?" Ding Fengcheng smiled, "What can you introduce? The family has collapsed, he failed in the army, he doesn't even have a job, and he has to rely on our Ding family to support him. I don't know what to introduce you to such a wimp. I'm afraid it would stain your eyes, big sister." "Oh? Is it so miserable? " Ding Ziyu was super happy. She was not as good as Ding Mengyan since she was a child. Her grades were not as good as hers, and her looks and figure were not as good as hers, so she was always under Ding Mengyan's thumb. Now she finally had a chance to vent her anger. She takes her husband Tang Wenmo's arm and say, "Honey, aren't you in the military too? Seeing as you're both soldiers, why don't you get him a job in the war zone?" Tang Wenmo frowned, "Are you kidding me? Can anyone enter the war zone? Especially in our war domain, without a certain level, no one can enter." Turning back, Tang Wenmo looked at Jiang Ce and asked, "What's your rank now?" Jiang Ce faintly said three words: "War God Asura."
