"Who gave this bear...?" Zhou Ling’er was sowhat excited.
She still rembered that when she was a child, she casually ntioned among a group of friends that she hoped to receive a toy bear on her birthday.
"Who gave this?"
"Can’t say, can’t say!" Yuan Shiyin shook his head and then moved aside, standing among the crowd.
"Tsk! So secretive, with so many rich people here, whose gifts aren’t worth hundreds of millions? What’s the deal with giving a toy bear? Or is this person simply an actor hired by the Zhou Family?" A young woman in her twenties standing next to old Mrs. Wang from the Wang Family scoffed.
Her na is Wang Wanying, and according to generational seniority, she should be Zhou Ling’er’s elder cousin.
"Exactly!"
Several other girls from the Wang Family also spoke sourly.
All the wealthy people present were taken aback.
"Yes!"
"Is this person really a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"
"What if he’s an actor?"
"Right! If it’s really from the Jizhou Yuan Family, as people from a Martial Arts family, how could they give such a shabby gift? A toy bear, that’s just too... too much!"
"Yes! The wedding gift my son gave his friend was a mid-level BMW, and here they are presenting a toy bear!"
All the wealthy people present nodded and looked towards Zhou Haonan, Wang Qing, and Zhou Ling’er.
It seed they had already concluded that this so-called old Grandmaster from the Jizhou Yuan Family might just be an actor hired by the Zhou Family to save face, not really a person from the Jizhou Yuan Family!
A hint of a playful smile appeared in everyone’s eyes.
"Mr. Nie, is this person really the old Grandmaster Yuan from the Jizhou Yuan Family?" A small wealthy man leaned close to Nie Ziqiang and asked quietly.
All eyes gathered there.
"This..."
Nie Ziqiang also seed unsure, frowning and saying, "I’m not entirely sure, after all, I’ve never actually t the old Grandmaster of the Jizhou Yuan Family..."
Doubt began to arise in his mind!
Because of the initial excitent, there had been no confirmation, so when the man proclaid himself a Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Jizhou Yuan Family, everyone simply believed in Yuan Shiyin’s identity subconsciously.
Upon careful reconsideration now, there seed to be so issues, too many question marks!
Leaving aside why the old Grandmaster from the Yuan Family would co here to congratulate Zhou Ling’er, if it was for the sake of the Wei Family, it could be overlooked.
But giving a toy bear as a gift, what’s up with that?
"Oh!"
Hearing Nie Ziqiang’s explanation, the group of wealthy individuals all showed knowing smiles.
"Hmph!"
Wei Deyao snorted coldly. His expression also turned very ugly; he had thought earlier that the visitor was a Great Grandmaster of Martial Arts and had personally risen to greet him. Now thinking about it, he felt degraded!
With this thought, Wei Deyao glared at his son, as if questioning why he hadn’t been more careful in choosing won. Now they had really lost face!
Wei Rufeng also looked innocent, his face pained as he looked at Wei Deyao, as if to say: Dad, this isn’t my fault!
But just at this mont, another series of voices ca:
"The Gongsun Family from Liang Province..."
"The Huangfu Family from Yong Province..."
"The Zhang Family from Xuzhou..."
As the voices ended, several elderly n, walking with dragon-like strides, majestically entered the grand hall of the Wang Family, surrounded by a group of people.
"Brother Gongsun!"
"Brother Huangfu!"
"Brother Zhang, you’re here too, have everyone arrived?"
Several martial arts family Grandmasters exchanged pleasantries upon eting.
"Not yet, a few of us arrived early. I estimate that the remaining people might be a bit late, after all, the instructions from the Alliance Hierarch were quite urgent. It takes so ti to rush to Jingzhou, but everyone should be here by today," Yuan Shiyin said, shaking his head slightly.
"Oh, you’ve invited the entire cast here!" Wang Wanying feigned surprise.
"Haha!"
The surrounding guests burst into laughter.
"What’s going on?"
The martial arts Grandmasters who arrived later frowned, still unclear about what was happening.
"You talk too much!"
Wang Family’s elderly matriarch’s face darkened, feeling extrely disappointed.
Zhou Haonan’s family couldn’t invite distinguished guests, and it was alright, but inviting a bunch of actors to back up the event – what’s the aning of this? The guests present were all from big Jingzhou families. These people are experienced and well-connected. Who hasn’t seen the world? How could they be easily deceived?
"It’s exactly like that!" Wang Wanying pouted but didn’t continue.
Zhou Haonan and Wang Qing were confused, they hadn’t invited any actors, what exactly was going on?
Suddenly, another doorman’s announcent rang out:
"The Ye Family of Jingzhou, Elder Ye has arrived!"
The hall full of wealthy people was montarily stunned, then erupted into violent laughter. The slightly plump CEO Liu could not help but laugh so hard that he bent forward and backward, covering his belly.
"Oh my, I can’t take it, I just can’t hold it in!" CEO Liu waved his hands non-stop, and had it not been for soone supporting him, he might have laughed himself to the floor.
"Hahaha, even Elder Ye is here!" Wang Wanying’s eyes brimd with mockery.
"Sigh! Rufeng, are you sure your choice of this girl is correct?" Wei Deyao was thoroughly disappointed.
Originally, he thought Zhou Ling’er wasn’t bad, quite distinguished, sensible, and even managed to get into Jingzhou University by her own capabilities. Although her family background was nothing great, at least she had the support of the Wang Family, so it wasn’t too bad!
However.
Today’s dramatic scene made Wei Deyao doubt the character of Zhou’s entire family!
"Elder Ye..."
"Hahaha! Cough cough..."
"Finding so people we don’t recognize is already enough, but even daring to impersonate Elder Ye? Have you gone mad? In the Jingzhou circle, among the well-known wealthy, how many haven’t seen Elder Ye?"
The laughter in the hall was like rolling thunder, continuous and in waves, the atmosphere heated to the extre!
Everyone knew that this joke would definitely spread throughout Jingzhou by tomorrow!
"Why are you all laughing so much, so happy, I ca a bit late, can anyone tell , let’s have a laugh together?" A refined voice ca through.
The laughing tycoons in the hall instinctively looked towards the entrance.
They saw an elderly man in a bright red Tang suit and a wind hat, slowly entering the hall accompanied by several people.
Seeing the elderly man, the laughter in the hall abruptly stopped!
"Ye... Elder Ye!"
Everyone gaped in astonishnt, as if they had seen a ghost!
"Hiss!"
A collective gasp of cold air ca through.
Then.
Complete silence in the hall!
The patriarch of Jingzhou’s Ye Family had actually arrived, now the situation was serious!
