Chapter 727 The Little Singer is Free and Easy (One Hundred and Seventy-Two)
In the reception room inside, Chu Tingli was surprised by Shang Ting's way of addressing Mr. Zheng, "cousin grandpa?"
Shang Ting explained to her in a low voice.
"So Shang Ting's grandmother and you are cousins?"
"Yeah, didn't this kid say that? I'm his cousin grandfather."
"I didn't say that!"
She glared at Shang Ting, so Zheng Wenguang was really his cousin.
Zheng Wenguang laughed heartily, "Tingli, I told you I'm going to call you sister-in-law. This kid is just too proud."
She was curious: "Tell me in detail, what's going on?"
Zheng Wenguang felt embarrassed instead. The girl next to him patted him on the shoulder and told him to speak quickly.
"I was in poor health during my youth and took three years off from school. I couldn't keep up with my studies and was several years behind my peers. Shang Ting, on the other hand, had excellent academic performance and a smooth academic journey. When I went abroad to study, I shared a tutor with him."
He coughed and said, "My mentor thought that although I was older, I should learn from Ating, so I became his junior apprentice. Later, when he found out that our two families were related, he stopped calling me cousin and said I was taking advantage of him. Of course, I didn't call him senior apprentice either."
This was the first time Chu Tingli heard about this. She had previously thought that they were just classmates, but this cousin relationship was quite distant. It was a bit strange that a junior brother became a cousin.
She had previously wondered how Zheng Wenguang, several years older than Shang Ting, could become her classmate. Seeing the guilt in Mr. Zheng's eyes, she suddenly remembered that Zheng Wenguang had been kidnapped and severely injured.
Rich families are indeed very complicated. These wealthy people want to have a red flag flying high at home and colorful flags flying outside, but in fact, they are just dreaming.
Just looking at the death of Zheng Wenguang’s father and the kidnapping he encountered, we can see that the struggle has never stopped.
In the past, Zheng Wenguan’s father and grandmother lost, but now the people from the other two families lost, and Zheng Wenguan became the winner.
As the winner, one naturally wants to consolidate one's position and interests. How can one allow someone who suddenly appears to take away everything?
Suddenly, a bodyguard walked in, glanced at her first, and then whispered twice in Zheng Lao's ear.
Mr. Zheng looked a little surprised, but soon calmed down:
"Take them down to rest first. I'll see them after the banquet is over."
Chu Tingli followed everyone's gaze and looked outside, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Junxi and his mother, as well as the five bodyguards standing beside them.
Soon the bodyguard left. It seemed that Jiang Junxi's mother didn't want to leave, but Jiang Junxi persuaded her to leave. The two of them followed the two bodyguards out of the banquet hall. Chu Tingli also found that Qin Yuanyuan followed and joined the two people.
Chu Tingli then withdrew her gaze.
Zheng Gang asked Chu Tingli with a smile: "Tingli, do you know them?"
She smiled faintly, "We used to know each other, but we're not familiar with each other now."
Mr. Zheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"It's almost time, let's go out."
So Zheng Wenguang helped Mr. Zheng out to meet the guests.
After the banquet, Chu Tingli sat in the car and said, "I thought they would recognize each other in public. Now that Mr. Zheng has handled it privately, I can't watch the fun anymore."
Shang Ting smiled and said, "After all, she's just an illegitimate daughter. It's unlikely that Mr. Zheng would publicly acknowledge her. They probably wanted to play the emotional card, so they took the initiative to come to her house instead of exposing her identity online. Using public pressure to force her to acknowledge her would probably backfire."
Chu Tingli nodded, that was right.
However, judging from the expression on Jiang Junxi's mother's face, she probably didn't expect that Mr. Zheng didn't see her immediately, but instead asked the bodyguards to take them away.
As for not leaving and causing a disturbance at the banquet, that was not possible either. After all, there was a bodyguard every five meters, and they were all tall and strong. It would be easy for them to deal with three powerless people.
She sighed, regretting that she couldn't watch the fun.
Shang Ting asked her, "Do you know where they got the invitation?"
Chu Tingli was still upset because she failed to make the deal and someone got there first.
