Chapter 48: Seeing everyone’s intentions

Could it be some small, unknown family? Many people had doubts in their hearts.

Joes did not know what these people were thinking. After hearing old man Zheng’s question, she revealed what she thought was a sweet smile.

“Grandpa Zheng,” a clear voice said,”nothing happened. It’s just that this cousin ... Has spoken a little too much.”

Cousin, who else could it be other than Yang Yue Yue?

Joes had exposed her to everyone, including old master Zheng. However, other than a few words of criticism, she did not criticize her.

It was just right.

“You’re her elder. If she’s in the wrong, you can just criticize her. Let’s continue.” After old master Zheng said that, he didn’t look at the table anymore.

Since the main character of the banquet had spoken, the other business leaders also looked away.

Yang Yue Yue’s expression was a little ugly. She felt that everyone at the table was looking at her with a strange gaze, and this was not an illusion.

Wen Xuan, who didn’t get along with her, smiled and said,””Yang Yue Yue, you’ve been defeated?”

“Shut up.” Yang Yueyue glared at Wen Xuan. Wen Xuan shrugged, but the smile on her face was cold.

Wen Xuan was not afraid of Yang Yue Yue since they were both from noble families. Moreover, she was only Zheng Zeyi’s cousin.

If Zheng Zeyi was here, she might have to think twice. What was there to be arrogant about with just Yang Yue Yue?

......

Qiao si si looked at Yang Yue Yue coldly and said,””Cousin, you should have heard what Grandpa Zheng said. Be good. This is his birthday banquet.”

Joes did not finish her sentence.

If Yang Yue Yue dared to cause trouble at old master Zheng’s birthday banquet ... She would definitely not have a good ending.

Although Yang Yue Yue was resentful, old master Zheng had already spoken, so she could only bear the pain.

“Jossi, just you wait!” Yang Yue Yue said viciously.

Joes nodded and agreed to this condition,””Alright, I’ll wait and see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.”

The two of them looked at each other, and the air was filled with tension.

Fortunately, old master Zheng’s words were effective. After he said that, Yang Yue Yue didn’t dare to say anything else. She silently drank her red wine to calm her anger.

Without a fly buzzing around her ear, joesse was even more carefree. Her plate was filled with many exquisite-looking delicacies.

While she was eating, the banquet hall’s door was suddenly pushed open. Three people walked in, and Joes recognized one of them with a single glance.

Zheng Zeyi, who had just left, had already changed into a custom-made black suit. He had a tall and straight figure, like a pine tree, and his face was even more handsome.

As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many young ladies.

However, Qiao si frowned because Zheng Zeyi’s expression was extremely gloomy and he did not seem to be in a good mood.

Could something have happened? Unfortunately, she did not know the answer.

Zheng Zeyi took the lead and walked into the banquet hall. Behind him stood a middle-aged man in a suit and a woman in an evening gown who did not look young.

If she was not mistaken, they should be Zheng Zeyi’s parents.

Joes had already made this guess, but that woman did not look like Zheng Zeyi at all.

He did not exude any of Zheng ze’s intimidating aura. Instead, he seemed petty. She wondered if she was the only one who felt that way.

After taking a few glances, Qiao Si was about to continue eating when she realized that Zheng Zeyi was walking towards their table.

Finally, he stood behind Qiao si. Coincidentally, there was an empty seat beside her, so Zheng Zeyi sat down beside her.

The young people at the table were silent and kept their mouths shut, no longer looking like they were watching a good show.

In comparison, Zheng Zeyi was definitely at the top of his peers and was commonly known as a business genius.

“Where did you go just now?” Joes leaned in closer and asked softly.

Zheng ze pursed his lips, and the air around him was extremely cold. Naturally, joesse also noticed this and was even more curious.

However, it seemed like he had no intention of explaining, so Joes did not continue asking.

At this time, a slightly hoarse male voice sounded in the hall, and everyone’s eyes fell on the stage.

It was Zheng Zeyi’s father, Zheng lihan, who was speaking into the microphone from the back. Beside him was Zheng Zeyi’s stepmother, who had dressed up carefully, Qianqian, Ma Shan.

“Welcome, distinguished guests, to my father’s 70th birthday. All of you are respected figures in the business world. It’s an honor to have you here.”

With that, Zheng lihan could not help but smile, and there was sparse applause from the audience.

Joesse’s sharp eyes caught sight of old master Zheng, who had been chatting with others just a moment ago. At this moment, his expression was exactly the same as Zheng ze ‘s, so dark that it seemed like water could drip out.

As expected of a family, it was as if they were carved out of the same mold.

Joes sized up the two of them and could not help but laugh. At the same time, she realized that old master Zheng did not seem to like the woman standing beside Zheng lihan.

Looking at the woman in gorgeous clothes, Joes frowned slightly, also sensing that something was not right.

If both old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi did not like it ... Joesse had a guess in her heart, but she kept it to herself.

She would wait until there was no one around to ask Zheng Zeyi.

“Zheng Zeyi, are you alright?” Joes asked with a little worry, not caring about the situation on the stage.

After Zheng ze’s arrival, the young people at the table became much quieter, including the arrogant Yang Yue Yue. She did not dare to say a word.

She would only secretly glance at Joes from time to time, but she did not mind such petty actions.

Zheng ze’s well-defined hand landed on the side of the glass of red wine. His eyes were cold, and the pressure was so low that it made one shiver.

Joes shook her head and chased away the strange look on her face. She just stared at the person beside her.

“I’m fine,”he finally said after a long time.

It was just three short words, but Qiao si heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that everything was fine. The person on stage was probably not Zheng Zeyi’s birth mother.

Otherwise, Zheng Zeyi and old master Zheng would not have disliked this woman so much. However, they did not know what had happened.

Suppressing the thousands of thoughts in her mind, Jessi looked at Zheng lihan on the stage as he spoke word by word. The atmosphere in the hall also became much more lively.

Zheng lihan then pointed at the birthday gifts that the people behind him had brought. They almost piled up into a small mountain and said,”In a moment, I will open up these birthday gifts so that father can see everyone’s intentions.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s reaction grew.

These people naturally picked out the best gifts for old master Zheng’s birthday. If they opened them on the spot, they might be able to gain some face.
