Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Doesn't the Wu Family Even Care for a Meal?
Song Yun slowly stopped when he heard this, and he looked up at Wu Jianzhong with a strange expression.
Although I know you, little brother, are trying to cozy up to me, does the conversation have to be this awkward?
"Just go and get some to try out yourself," he said.
Upon hearing Song Yun's words, Wu Jianzhong nodded and bowed as he filled a plate to the brim.
The most eye-catching item on the plate was an enormous chicken. Originally, the whole chicken was meant to be cooked in a pottery jar for soup on-site, but now Wu Jianzhong had taken it, and one could only imagine how the others felt looking at the now empty chicken soup.
"Delicious!"
Wu Jianzhong tore off a chicken leg and took a big bite, praising as he said, "I didn't expect them to splurge so much on ingredients today!"
With no shame, Wu Jianzhong joined Song Yun and another person, burying his head in his food. At first, Wu Jianzhong was cautious, since, after all, who really indulges in eating and drinking at an upper-class banquet? But then he thought, if the richest man in Magic Capital can be so down-to-earth, eating a meal together with him is indeed an honor!
You commoners will never understand me, Old Wu!
As a somewhat famous success in Magic Capital, Wu Jianzhong was now unceremoniously holding an entire chicken and tearing it apart. Some of his allies looked at him with perplexity. Had Old Wu gone bankrupt?
But seeing how much Wu Jianzhong was enjoying the food, they found themselves involuntarily swallowing their saliva. Was the food really that good?
Thus, some began to pick up plates and chose a few items they liked.
Suddenly, half of the people at the venue were eating heartily, and the others, although they felt like joining in, couldn't let go of their upper-class pride and could only grind their teeth and curse in their hearts.
Ye Qingqing and Chi Lu finished chatting and walked out of the makeup room. As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw a group of people eating and drinking like there was no tomorrow.
Ye Qingqing found Song Yun among these people and walked towards her husband with a smile.
Chi Lu, whether at home or abroad, often attended upper-class banquets but had never seen a scene like today's, where people were desperately grabbing the host's food, as if trying to eat their way to reclaiming the money they'd gifted.
"What are all of you doing?"
Wu Qingbo came in with a grim expression, sneezing with fury. Last night, a bunch of his freewheeling friends had thrown a bachelor party for the groom-to-be. The thought of the soft waists of a dozen women from the night before made Wu Qingbo itch inside.
When he woke up at noon in a rush and reached the hotel, he found the main hall in a chaotic state, which enraged him. How could these bastards be so lacking in manners? Were they not clearly disrespecting the Wu family?
"All of you are big shots. Usually, at banquets, you don't behave like today, scrambling for food like country bumpkins. So why do you act like this at my Wu Qingbo's engagement party?"
A rich second generation with some family assets wiped his mouth and said with some fear, "Mr. Wu, are we not supposed to eat the food?"
"Eat, eat, eat! Eat your heads off!"
Wu Qingbo slapped the rich second generation across the face and then shouted at the security guards, "Drag this bastard to the kitchen and let him eat his fill! Don't let him out until he vomits!"
The rest of the people sobered up in an instant. Right, what were they doing? It wasn't that the food at the banquet couldn't be eaten; it was just that half of it was already gone before the party had even started, no wonder Wu Qingbo was furious.
They dispersed and continued holding their glasses of wine, chatting as if nothing had happened.
Wu Qingbo walked over to Wu Jianzhong, saw him still eating without care, and asked with suppressed anger, "Uncle Wu, what exactly do you mean by this?"
No matter what, Wu Jianzhong had some status, and in front of him, this young master of the Wu family really wasn't much.
"What's the matter, Qingbo, I'm hungry and I can't even fill my stomach?"
Wu Jianzhong stood up to face Wu Qingbo and said, "Even if your old man came, he might govern heaven and earth but he surely can't govern whether I eat or not! Is the Wu family so big and prosperous yet so stingy?"
"Uncle Wu, have you made up your mind to disrespect the Wu family?"
"Heh, that kind of talk might have some effect coming from your dad, but you? You're still too young."
Wu Qingbo laughed in extreme anger and waved his hand toward the bodyguards, shouting, "Throw him out for me!"
Suddenly, the two strong men who stood behind Wu Qingbo pounced toward Wu Jianzhong.
Wu Jianzhong, just a successful businessman, couldn't handle the beating from the two bodyguards, and with just one punch, he bent over, clutching his stomach, vomiting out everything he'd eaten.
"Tsk, really ruining my appetite."
Song Yun looked at Wu Qingbo with disgust and said flatly, "Go easy."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Huang Baoding flipped the table over and attacked the two bodyguards who were beating up Wu Jianzhong.
In just one minute, before people could even understand what was happening, they saw the two bodyguards slamming into a wall and fainting on the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone at the venue covered their mouths in surprise. Was this a slap in the face to the Wu family? Definitely!
"You, you, you! Vulgarian!"
Wu Qingbo retreated two steps without changing his expression. When he saw Ye Qingqing clinging to Song Yun's arm, acting spoiled, he turned incredulously to look at his fiancée, Chi Lu.
"Lu Lu! Is this the help you've found? Who gave you the courage to disrupt the marriage between our two families!"
Wu Qingbo's eyes were filled with raging fury, as if he wanted to tear Chi Lu apart. No matter whether today's engagement banquet could go smoothly or not, the Wu family had become a big joke in the whole Magic Capital!
"Wu Qingbo, do you not realize that my engagement to you was only a marriage alliance? Did you really believe any woman would willingly marry you after what you've done?"
Chi Lu said coldly as she shook her head, "Stop deluding yourself. Even if the Chi Family abandons me, I don't want to spend my life in confusion with you!"
Chi Lu's words pierced Wu Qingbo's chest like a sharp sword; he had never expected Chi Lu, who appeared so gentle and charming, to say such piercing words when she rebelled!
"Chi Lu, today you will marry, whether you want to or not!"
A woman dressed gaudily in high heels walked in, her seductive appearance attracting many men who wanted to get to know her better, and then conquer her!
"Yu Fei, who do you think you are! Nothing but a vase my father brought home to adorn the place!"
Chi Lu, having suppressed her feelings for so many years, finally let them all out today.
"You! Unfilial daughter! No matter what, I am your mother!"
Yu Fei, clutching her chest and gasping for air, shouted, "Wait until I go back and tell Old Chi to punish you with family law!"
"Heh, just a stepmother, and you really think you're the master of the Chi Family?"
As soon as Chi Lu said this, the way people around them looked at Yu Fei changed; no wonder, that woman only seemed a few years older than Chi Lu, it turns out Old Chi went for beauty when he remarried!
