"Almost? Almost what?"
Jiang Manling asked, confused.
"I am now, almost like the War God King."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
Isn’t it almost indeed? He is practically the War God King.
In his eyes, Jiang Manling and Liu Renxiong are nothing but clowns.
Everyone was stunned for a mont.
Then they all burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
"You say you’re almost like the War God King; you’re really good at boasting, huh?"
"Exactly, aren’t you afraid of boasting to the skies?"
Jiang Manling sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you’ve been a War God, you sure have a big mouth. Can you tell us exactly what your position is?"
Liu Renxiong also chid in, "Yeah, hurry and tell us; maybe Grandpa and Grandma will take a renewed look at your family."
"Xiao Chen, shut up, aren’t you embarrassed enough?"
Jiang Li said angrily, "You’re not afraid to offend the War God King, but we are!"
Xiao Chen ignored her.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Manling and said, "People like you really aren’t qualified to know my identity!"
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Chen’s words sparked laughter from the crowd again.
Everyone was truly impressed by Xiao Chen’s boasting skills.
Even Jiang Manling isn’t qualified to know his identity?
Jiang Manling is the confidential secretary of the Dragon Team.
With that position, she isn’t qualified to know who he is?
It’s probably not that he can’t say, but rather he can’t co up with anything.
They have seen boastful people, but never soone who boasts like this.
Even Liu Chenghou laughed.
He, the top person in official financial managent, isn’t qualified to know Xiao Chen’s identity?
What a joke!
Jiang Qiangguo and Guo Ling looked very displeased.
Embarrassing, truly embarrassing.
If it weren’t for wanting to get the Xinng Group, why would they acknowledge Liu Xin as their daughter?
Guo Ling angrily said, "Even among n, the gap is extraordinary; Liu Xin, you really should manage your son-in-law, what an occasion this is.
How dare he talk nonsense!"
"Old lady, what’s wrong with my son-in-law? It’s just your ignorance, a frog in the well that never knows how high a swan can fly!"
Liu Xin coldly looked at Guo Ling and said, "We’ve co today to celebrate your birthday, not to be humiliated by you.
If you’re not interested, we can leave now.
No need to speak such words.
You can look down on , but you cannot look down on my son-in-law!"
"You!"
Guo Ling really wanted to kick Liu Xin’s family out.
But Jiang Qiangguo stopped her.
"Don’t forget, the Xinng Group!"
Jiang Qiangguo whispered.
Jiang Li also went over to persuade Liu Xin, "Dear sister, your temper, it’s just jokes among us."
"Jokes? What kinds of faces do they have, calling this a joke? If it weren’t for my son-in-law defeating the Tyrant King back then, would you have the right to sit here and mock him?
What is going on!"
Liu Xin grew more excited as she spoke.
Guo Ling frowned again and again.
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Chen spoke first, "Mom, why get angry, what’s the point of arguing with a bunch of clowns like that, don’t harm your health over it, they’re not worth it."
"Okay, that’s enough, everyone stop talking, Liu Xin does have a point, back then this King Yama War God defeated the Tyrant King and protected many people.
Necessary respect should be given."
Guo Ling held back her anger and said sothing.
Only then did everyone shut their mouths and shift their attention.
But in their hearts, they still looked down on Xiao Chen.
"Always bringing up past achievents, that’s the sign of soone truly incapable."
"Yeah, I heard he even took credit for soone else’s accomplishnts!"
"That whole family is no good, I don’t even know what the old lady was thinking, insisting on acknowledging them?"
No one dared to speak loudly anymore, but they continued to discuss privately.
Until the birthday banquet officially began.
The first item was gift-giving.
Of course, gifts from outsiders were sent earlier.
This gift-giving was among those related by blood.
It’s both a competition and a mont of comparison.
There are over a hundred relatives attending the birthday banquet.
The gifts varied, and many were quite good.
But these gifts were still not as good as the ones Liu Xin and Jiang ng had prepared.
Thus, they felt quite secure.
Believing that once the gifts were given, Guo Ling would surely take notice.
However, when it ca ti for Yuan Shucheng and Jiang Li to give their gifts, Liu Xin and Jiang ng were dumbfounded.
Because the gifts Yuan Shucheng and Jiang Li presented were exactly the sa as theirs.
And their value was even higher.
"I heard the old lady likes divine weapons, this sword I have is worth one hundred gemstone currency.
I’m giving it to the old lady!"
Yuan Shucheng presented his gift.
Liu Xin was stunned.
Her sword was also a sword, but only worth ten gemstone currency.
That’s a tenfold difference.
If the items were different, it wouldn’t be so bad.
The fact that they are the sa is the worst.
Jiang Li presented an elixir pill: "This elixir pill, worth five hundred gemstone currency, I found it after searching many Martial Artist rchants Guilds.
Mom, may you live a long life!"
"Good, good! I like your gifts very much; so far, they are my favorite gifts."
Guo Ling was genuinely pleased.
As a martial artist, her love for these things is entirely normal.
At this ti, it was Liu Xin and Jiang ng’s turn.
Both hesitated a bit.
"Didn’t you prepare anything?"
Guo Ling frowned and asked.
"We did."
Liu Xin reluctantly took out their gifts.
"Hahahaha, what’s this? If you’re going to imitate others, at least bring gifts of equal value.
This is clearly disrespectful to the old lady!"
Liu Renxiong laughed heartily.
Liu Xin and Jiang ng hung their heads, genuinely feeling embarrassed.
Originally, they wanted to use the gifts to change the old lady’s view of them.
But now, it turned back on them.
Truly embarrassing.
Even Yuan Shucheng and Jiang Li were speechless.
They didn’t expect their gifts to be the sa as Liu Xin’s.
In hindsight, they should have communicated properly.
"Haha, isn’t your son-in-law supposed to be of high status? Is this it?"
"Are you deliberately trying to upset the old lady?"
"Wouldn’t it have been better to give sothing different?"
"Your whole family is just a joke!"
...
Everyone mocked relentlessly.
Guo Ling’s face was cold when she saw Liu Xin and Jiang ng’s gifts.
The gifts weren’t bad; in fact, they were better than many others.
But the timing of the gift-giving was just off.
"If you don’t want to give gifts, I won’t force you, there’s no need for this."
Guo Ling said coldly.
"Haha, by the old lady’s logic, the others before us might as well die."
Xiao Chen sneered, "I must say, you are all so shaless; which of your gifts surpasses that of my wife and mother-in-law?
Yet you dare laugh at them?
If their gifts aren’t good enough, then you should all just drop dead.
Fine, since the old lady doesn’t like it, then I’ll just take them back; otherwise, it’s like throwing a at bun to a dog, all for nothing.
Giving gifts and not being appreciated."
With that, he took the two gifts back.
Then casually crushed the sword with his hand: "Even if it’s discarded, I’d rather hear it clatter than use it for a gift, sending gifts has caused nothing but problems!"
