Now that everyone is here, it’s time for the food to be served.
The old lady of the Hu family smiled and pulled Wan Guiren into the main seat, raised her hands and said with a smile: "Thank you all for taking the trouble to come to the banquet. As an old lady, I really deserve it.
Therefore, please feel free to do so without any restraint."
Xia Tian was not polite at all and started eating directly.
The others couldn't help but look disgusted, wondering where the country bumpkin came from. He hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes. He started eating while the host was still talking. It was so rude.
Ah Jiu also felt a little embarrassed, but she did not stop Xia Tian's idea, because it was useless and there was no need to stop it.
"Hey, did you starve to death and be reincarnated?"
An old gentleman sitting next to Xia Tian could not help but knock on the table gently and reminded.
Xia Tian ate the dishes and replied with a smile: "Of course not, but if you don't eat, you will probably be reincarnated soon."
The old gentleman's face turned green with anger at Xia Tian's words, and he shouted coldly: "What do you mean, did I provoke you to provoke you? I just opened my mouth and scolded you. Do you have the quality?"
"I don't have the qualities, what's wrong?"
Xia Tian said in a matter-of-fact tone, "You have quality, then I hope you die later."
"you!"
The old gentleman was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot, but he couldn't say Xia Tian, so he had to turn his head away, looking like he didn't bother to argue with you.
Xia Tian was a little confused and said to Ah Jiu: "Why is this old man so angry? I obviously said good things. Isn't it better to die later?"
"Yes, they are good words, please say more."
Ah Jiu rolled her eyes angrily: "It's best to tell people when you meet them. You will definitely make a lot of new friends who will get along with you."
Xia Tian shook his head: "I'm not interested in making any new friends, and no one here is qualified to be my friend."
"Boy, you are too crazy!"
The old gentleman couldn't help it anymore and said to Xia Tian: "Do you know the identities of the people attending the banquet today, so they dare to say such things!"
"No matter what the status of the people attending the banquet today are, they are not qualified to be my friends."
Xia Tian replied lazily.
The old gentleman glared at Xia Tian, and said with a sneer: "I'm really wasting my life. This is the first time I've met someone like you. You're arrogant and ignorant, and you think you're funny!"
"Don't live in vain."
Xia Tian curled his lips, "The most you can do is seventy-five. You will die after tonight, and you won't live to be seventy-six."
"enough!"
The old gentleman couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and slapped the table, yelling: "Boy, if you don't apologize to me, this matter will never end. Don't think it's a joke."
Xia Tian still said calmly: "What I said is the truth, what do I apologize for?"
"what happened?"
Someone noticed the movement here and couldn't help but come over and ask, "Mr. Mo, who made you angry?"
The old gentleman raised his cane and pointed at Xia Tian: "This boy actually insulted me. If you don't drive him away, then I won't attend the banquet. Let's leave now!"
The person who came was none other than Hu Huayu's second uncle Hu Yingbao. He had also been dissatisfied with Xia Tian for a long time. He warned in a cold voice: "Although you are also invited distinguished guests, please respect our Hu family and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, you will be killed now."
Please get out."
"Go out, why should you go out?"
Xia Tian continued to eat and said with a smile: "There will be a good show here soon, and the food is quite delicious. I won't go out."
Hu Yingbao was stunned for a moment, feeling that this boy had something to say. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was worrying too much, so he had to say: "Then please be quiet, my mother is talking."
"She talks about hers and I eat mine. It has nothing to do with each other."
Xia Tian answered casually.
"Mr. Mo, how about I change your position?"
Hu Yingbao knew that Xia Tian was invited by Hu Huayu, so he couldn't really drive him away for the time being, so he had to say to the old gentleman: "You can get closer to my mother. It just so happens that she is still talking about you recently."
The old gentleman smiled twice and said: "Sister, you are so polite. Forget it, I won't move my seat, so as not to cause trouble to my sister, just sit here.
If you have something to do, I’ll talk to my elder sister after the banquet.”
"OK."
Hu Yingbao nodded, and secretly glared at Xia Tian, signaling him to be quiet.
Xia Tian didn't see it at all, still eating on his own, and said to Ah Jiu: "Jiu Yatou, you eat, the food here is really delicious, the cook doesn't know where he got it from, it's quite to my liking.
"
"Don't you just eat everything when you're hungry? How can you have an appetite?"
Ah Jiu said angrily: "You used to eat all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but how can you actually tell whether they taste good or not?"
Xia Tian pretended to be mysterious and replied: "You will know after you eat it, especially this meat, it is very delicious."
"Is it really so delicious?"
Ah Jiu felt that there was something in Xia Tian's words, so she actually picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of meat casually, put it into her mouth and chewed: "It's just a very ordinary chicken, but the chicken may be domestically raised and has never eaten feed.
There’s also the fragrance of wood, and... hmm?”
"How about it?"
Xia Tian looked at Ah Jiu with a smile, "Isn't it delicious? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Ah Jiu thought for a while, took out a piece of tissue, spit it out slowly, and glared at Xia Tian: "It tastes like shit."
"Can you please keep your voice down?"
The old gentleman glanced sideways at Xia Tian and Ah Jiu, "I can't even hear what the old lady said. Now I have to introduce the other people attending the banquet. Pay attention to basic courtesy."
Xia Tian still went his own way and ignored this old gentleman at all.
Ah Jiu fell down and became quiet, then raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Hu.
Old Mrs. Hu seemed to be in good spirits. She raised her hand and called several close descendants of the Hu family. She smiled and rushed to the banquet to introduce everyone: "This is my eldest son Hu Yingxiong, who is responsible for most of the Hu family's companies, and
External affairs.
I just fell ill some time ago and am resting at home for the time being."
Hu Yingxiong showed a breathtaking smile, and his attitude was unusually respectful. It was completely different from the arrogance he had shown when facing Xia Tian and Ah Jiu before. Mrs. Hu next to him was equally gentle and kind, and did not look like a shrew at all.
"This is my second son Hu Yingbao, who is responsible for medical matters."
Hu Yingbao chuckled twice, also showing a pretty standard cheerful smile.
"This is my goddaughter. Her name is Qi Yushi. She is from the Qi family in Fuliang."
The woman who was 70% similar to Ah Jiu smiled faintly and said hello.
However, the faces of Hu Yingxiong, Hu Yingxiong, and Hu Yingbao all twitched in unison, and there was a hint of unhappiness in their eyes.
Everyone present was also a little surprised. This family dinner was actually held by Mrs. Hu who wanted to choose a successor. Although it was not a formal confirmation, it was a signal.
Since the old lady has introduced this goddaughter to everyone, it naturally means that this woman is also qualified to continue the Hu family business.
"..." After introducing several more descendants of the Hu family, Mrs. Hu finally pushed Hu Huayu to the front, "Next, let me introduce, this is my grandson Hu Huayu.
He is the eldest grandson of my eldest son. Currently, the family's affairs are temporarily in charge of his behalf. He has done a good job during this period. The Hu family may have to rely on him in the future. When the time comes, please remember my face, old lady. Thank you very much.
Take care of..." "Wait."
Someone at the table suddenly raised his hand and raised an objection: "Hu Huayu doesn't seem to be the eldest son or grandson. I remember that Hu Yingxiong also has a son. Why is he missing today?"
After saying this, everyone in the Hu family, except Old Mrs. Hu, showed a look of astonishment. They all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to get involved.
"Oh, sir, whose guest are you?"
Old Mrs. Hu glanced at the man and felt a little unfamiliar, "Why do I seem to have never seen you before?"
The man chuckled, not panicking at all: "There are many people here. The old lady must have never seen them before. Why are you talking about just me?"
"Then who invited you as a guest?"
Old Mrs. Hu asked with a smile: "Anyway, old lady, I probably haven't invited you."
"I am the real eldest son and grandson of the Hu family who you did not mention."
The man walked directly out of the crowd, walked to the center of the crowd, and said proudly: "I am his friend, and I was entrusted by him to come over and ask the old lady for an explanation."
"presumptuous!"
Hu Yingxiong immediately became angry, pointed at this man and said: "Get out of here right now. Where are the bodyguards? They are all dead, so take him out."
The man burst out laughing: "Hu Yingxiong, I can't believe that you were the first to jump out.
Have you forgotten that without Hu Xingyu, you would be nothing like a dog egg!"
"That's nonsense!"
Hu Yingxiong immediately became angry and pointed at the man and cursed: "Who sent you here? Are you deliberately trying to disrupt this banquet?"
"Okay, don't make any noise."
Mrs. Hu was not in a hurry and continued: "I did have such a grandson named Hu Xingyu, but he died of illness a few months ago.
So, don’t mention this matter again.
If you are his friend, then you should not make trouble at this time and make him uneasy in heaven."
"Old lady, you pushed it cleanly."
The man snorted coldly, pointed at Old Mrs. Hu and cursed: "He didn't die of illness, but he was killed by you, or poisoned.
I came here today just to seek justice for him."
As he said this, the man lifted his coat and actually had a bomb tied around his waist: "Now that I'm here, I have no intention of getting out alive.
Anyway, if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today, we will all die together.”
"If you dare to threaten the Hu family, you are seeking death!"
The Hu family members were suddenly shocked and angry. They simply pressed the Hu family's faces to the ground and rubbed them.
Everyone present also showed a look of panic. They just came to the banquet to boost their reputation and gain benefits for the people who invited them. Who would have thought that their lives would be in danger.
"Is this the good show you said?"
Ah Jiu pushed Xia Tian, "Have you anticipated this scene before?"
Xia Tian shook his head and pulled the chicken leg in his mouth: "This is just a prelude, this is not the good show I said."
"Oh, it's so exciting at the beginning, but it's just a prelude?"
Ah Jiu also felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, the man stepped aside and wanted to grab someone to use as a shield, but he just caught Xia Tian who was eating chicken legs.
"I know your Hu family has some tricks and special abilities, but I'm not afraid!"
The man pulled Xia Tian out of his position and said in a cold voice: "You'd better cooperate with me, otherwise I won't mind detonating the bomb and everyone will become scum together."
Xia Tian said casually: "You are busy with your business and don't disturb me eating chicken legs."
