C514 Family Feast
Zhao Hanxian sighed. "Rujun, I really regret my mistake back then. If your father was here, I would definitely apologize to him."
Liu Rujun said, "Unfortunately, my father is not here. He went on a trip."
Zhao Hanxian stroked his beard and said, "Your father is indeed a god. Twenty years ago, I did not experience it. Now that I think about it, my realm is not as good as his. I am inferior to him! "
Zhao Hanxian's words were no longer that of a leader. Instead, he deliberately lowered his attitude, and the conversation was naturally very harmonious. Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, "Dad, I'll bring Second Brother and the family to the quad first, right?"
Zhao Hanxian nodded. "Okay, be careful on the way there."
Due to Zhao Hanxian's physical condition, he could only be absent from the dinner.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone bid farewell to Zhao Hanxian and rushed to the house inside the red wall.
To countless people, the red wall was strange and mysterious, including Zhang Muye. When Zhang Muye was young, he could occasionally walk into the red wall, but his memory was already blurred.
It had been more than ten years since he had stepped into this place, and everything seemed solemn and strange.
He didn't expect Zhao Zhonghua's family to welcome him warmly when they returned. The only thing they wanted to welcome was probably a pet dog inside. The little thing curiously stretched out its head to take a look, then barked loudly.
The small courtyard they stayed in was very lively. Many people were chatting inside, but no one came out to welcome them.
When Zhao Zhongting walked in, everyone stood up to welcome him.
After all, Zhao Zhongting had a high position in the family. He was a leading figure besides the old man, Zhao Hanxian. Now that he had become a border official, his future was limitless.
Zhao Hanxian had a total of four children, three sons and one daughter. When he reached Zhang Muye's generation, he had many children and grandchildren. Among them, there were also married people who gave birth to the next generation. Zhao Hanxian could be considered to have been in the same family for four generations.
However, these family members were not very enthusiastic towards Zhang Muye's family. Apart from seeing that Zhao Zhonghua could still smile and say a few words, they were also very curious about Zhang Muye and his mother, Liu Rujun.
Or rather, disgust and ridicule.
Although Zhao Hanxian's attitude had slightly changed, the Matriarch's attitude was still the same.
Zhao Hanxian was in the hospital. When Zhao Zhonghua returned, the Matriarch, Cheng Zhenqing, only briefly called Zhao Zhonghua into her room to say something. Then, she heard a fierce quarrel in the room. She did not know what had happened. She heard that Zhang Muye's so-called grandmother went to the hospital to visit Zhao Hanxian. In front of Liu Rujun, Zhang Muye, and the others, she didn't even show her face.
She was avoiding Zhang Muye and Liu Rujun.
It was obvious that he didn't put Liu Rujun and Zhang Muye in his eyes. It was as if looking at them made him feel like he was looking at a sore spot.
And the responsibility of hosting this family banquet naturally fell on Zhao Zhongting.
Zhao Zhongting had a very deep relationship with Zhao Zhonghua and his wife.
However, this did not mean that others would have deep feelings for Zhao Zhonghua. Even if they had feelings for Zhao Zhonghua, they might not have feelings for Zhang Muye and Liu Rujun.
Zhao Zhonghua was the second son, and he also had a younger brother and a younger sister. The younger brother was called Zhao Zhong Gang, and the younger sister was called Zhao Xiuxiu. After all, blood was thicker than water, so they invited Zhao Zhonghua to their seats to talk about the recent events.
Because the Zhao Family was flourishing with branches and leaves, a few family elders were able to fill their seats while Zhang Muye was arranged to be in the same generation. There was also a large table in the same generation. Among them, there was Liu Yu who described Zhang Muye as a country bumpkin.
Zhao Kuan was not here. Now that he was in a hurry to take over the Asia and Pacific Group business, he usually worked in Songjiang.
Because Zhang Muye had been gone for so many years, even though he had a cousin who played well when he was young. At this moment, there were many more children. In addition, Liu Yu had called for everyone to make things difficult for this grassroots country bumpkin, so when Zhang Muye sat down, the sound of moving stools could be heard from the table that was originally full. Zhang Muye's hands were empty. The disciples would rather squeeze together. They were unwilling to sit together with Zhang Muye.
It was as if Zhang Muye was a stinky fly from the countryside.
This was obviously premeditated. As for who premeditated it? Everyone knew in their hearts.
Zhao Zhongting's son, Zhao Qiang, was now close to 30 years old. He was already a deputy officer in the Central Office. It was said that he was going to be promoted to the main office soon. He was also the pride of the family, just like his father, Zhao Zhongting. Surprisingly, he had become the leader of this generation.
Seeing that everyone wanted to isolate Zhang Muye, Zhao Qiang frowned slightly. "What are you doing? Muye is your cousin. Hurry up and greet him!"0
However, all the juniors looked at each other in dismay, and then turned their eyes to another leading figure of the same generation. He was the second son of Uncle Zhao Zhong's gang, and his cousin, Zhao Jian, who was only two days younger than Zhang Muye.
Unlike Zhao Qiang, Zhao Jian had already started to do business in university. He had a company that was valued over hundreds of millions before he graduated, and his own shares were worth tens of millions. Although he had the support of his family, the growth of this company was one step at a time, and it was absolutely clear. With this, Zhao Jian and Zhao Qiang became the rising stars among the younger generation.
Apart from Zhao Qiang and Zhao Kuan, Zhao Jian had the highest prestige. Because Zhao Qiang was slightly older than the younger generation and had always been serious, the younger generation were more willing to get close to Zhao Jian.
Under the circumstances where Zhao Qiang was not angry, the younger generation were not afraid of Zhao Qiang. Therefore, they all looked at Zhao Jian, who was in front of them, and moved forward and backwards with Zhao Jian.
Zhao Jian glanced at Zhang Muye, then slowly said, "Cousin? Why don't I remember there was such a person?"
Liu Yu nodded and said, "That's right, cousin. I remember Grandma said so too. I only have three cousins. One is you, one is Brother Zhao Kuan, and the other is Brother Zhao Jian. When did you have another one? I don't know him."
Zhao Qiang's expression changed." Zhao Jian, why are you like this? How did you talk to Muye?"
"That's what I'm talking about. If brother isn't satisfied, ask grandma. That's what grandma means."
With the Matriarch backing him up, Zhao Jian didn't back down from Zhao Qiang. After saying that, he looked at Zhang Muye with pride and contempt.
Zhao Jian's words were very confident. The Matriarch had always disliked Zhang Muye's family. She especially hated Zhang Muye's mother, Liu Rujun, so much so that her teeth itched. She even thought that Zhao Zhonghua had married her. It would be a disgrace to the Zhao Family. At the same time, without Zhao Family's protection, no matter how smart Zhang Muye was, he would still become a loser. Zhang Muye had probably learned countless bad habits in the martial arts world after so many years. He was no different from a hooligan. Naturally, he was very prejudiced against Zhang Muye. In front of Zhao Jian and Zhao Qiang, whenever Zhao Zhonghua's family was mentioned, there would always be no good words for Zhang Muye.
In contrast, he liked Zhao Jian, Zhao Kuan, and Zhao Qiang very much. After all, these two were the people who had the most hope of bringing Zhao Family to greater heights among the younger generation. Now, their achievements were already outstanding. As long as they were nurtured, would their future prospects still be limited?
