A few capable young men came out of the security vehicle, wearing black suits and black leather shoes, with miniature headsets in their ears, and an inconspicuous miniature pager pinned in the collar of their suits. They moved vigorously, cooperated with each other, and quickly dispersed around a8, looking majestic and alert to any disturbance nearby.
At the same time as the guards were in place, the man who got out of the passenger seat of the A8 opened the back seat door, and a tall middle-aged man got out of the back seat. Even in casual clothes, he could not hide the unique temperament of a professional soldier.
Wu Yuanchao, the fourth-ranking military commander.
The second generation leader of the Wu family and Yang Chen's future father-in-law.
When attending private gatherings, Wu Yuanchao is accustomed to wearing casual clothes, so the people around him naturally have to cooperate with him. Wu Rui's mother, Yan Nanping, appeared with her husband. A few cars behind were occupied by relatives of the Wu family. Tonight's banquet was to welcome the in-laws.
, it’s not a leader’s inspection, it’s absolutely impossible for one or two people to deal with it.
"Secretary Zhang, pay more attention here these days and entertain them." Wu Yuanchao said and looked at the man who opened the car door for him. This man was his secretary, Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue simply nodded in agreement, showing his military style.
The group of people walked upstairs and went directly to the small banquet hall. In the small banquet hall, dozens of people from the Yang family were all praising Yang Chen and Wu Rui, either euphemistically or directly, and they were close to Wu Rui.
Get acquainted first, and you won't be able to find someone else to do things for you in the future. The petty thoughts of Yang Chen and his relatives are too normal, but people have selfish motives.
Human nature.
Yang Chen was not disgusted.
Just as the Yang family was chatting in full swing, the two wooden doors of the banquet hall were pushed open, and a group of people poured in. The middle-aged man and woman at the head smiled sincerely and looked approachable.
"Uncle and aunt, those are my parents." Wu Rui introduced them first, but actually reminded her parents that Wu Yuanchao, Yan Nanping and his wife had never met Yang Chen's parents.
"I finally met my in-laws. I'm so glad to meet you." Wu Yuanchao was reminded by his daughter and walked quickly towards Yang Guodong with great enthusiasm. Yang Guodong and Liu Hua hurriedly left their seats to greet them.
Man shaking hands with man.
Women chatting with women.
Yang Chen and Wu Rui stood aside and smiled as they watched the parents greet each other. From now on... we will be a family.
The rest of the people watched with smiles, but the relatives on the Yang family side gradually recognized who Wu Rui's father was. Either their smiles were frozen or they were dumbfounded, unable to conceal their inner shock.
"Guodong's family seems very easy-going. Let's go over and chat for a few words to make ourselves familiar." When Yang Guoliang's wife muttered in a low voice, she found that her husband looked shocked and stupid.
: "What the hell, why are you so virtuous?"
Yang Guoliang still ignored his wife and stared intently at Wu Yuanchao. He watched the news broadcast on time every day, so of course he knew this powerful Director Wu.
More importantly, the importance of Mr. Wu’s father in the minds of their generation is no less important than that of the great founding fathers and the great men who made the southern tour, and is almost like a god.
My brother’s family has truly become royal relatives!
The shock in Yang Guoliang's heart was hard to describe in words. It wasn't until his nephew Yang Chen introduced these relatives of the Yang family to the Wu family that he calmed down.
The other relatives of the Yang family are generally like this. The Wu family is so special. Even if Wu Yuanchao and his wife are approachable and approachable like ordinary people, they are still at a loss.
Yang Guodong and Liu Hua, who had long been mentally prepared, were the calmest, occupying the core position of the large round table. Yang Guodong and Wu Yuanchao sat side by side, chatting and laughing happily.
After all, he is a man who has experienced life and death. Yang Guodong's performance exceeded his son Yang Chen's expectations. It happened that he and Wu Yuanchao had both participated in the Southern Xinjiang Campaign and had a common topic, which quickly became a bond between the relatives and the family.
"It's a blessing that your family fell in love with this brat like Chenchen. It's a blessing for our old Yang family. I'll have to offer you a few toasts later." Yang Guodong spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Wu Yuanchao smiled and said: "In-laws, don't say that. Your Yang Chen is very good. I've been worried that Ruirui won't be able to win him. Now that we're getting engaged, I'll be at ease."
"Don't praise me like that, I'm embarrassed." Yang Chen joked, pretending to be shy, making Yang Guodong and Wu Yuanchao laugh heartily, and people at the adjacent tables also laughed.
The waiter served the wine and food, and the banquet began.
Wu Yuan made brief opening remarks to Yang Guodong, and then everyone raised their glasses.
After all, dog meat didn't make it to the table. After Yang Guoliang's shrewish wife found out Wu Yuanchao's identity, she felt extremely nervous, flushed, and felt like sitting on pins and needles. She wanted to squeeze in to sit at the table. During the meal, she dropped her chopsticks three times, knocked over her tea cup, and choked on her drink.
Cry out tears.
Yang Guoliang was angry and ashamed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
At the next table, Guo Tao's mother snickered to herself. Ever since this shrewish sister-in-law entered the Yang family's house, she had suffered too many injustices, and today she had a bad temper.
Evil will be punished!
"Listen to mom, don't mess around with your partner, let Xiaochen introduce you to a good one. If you can't find a general or minister's daughter, you can at least marry the mayor's daughter." Guo Tao's mother whispered to her son beside her.
Guo Tao was speechless and nodded to deal with his mother.
He is self-aware that his cousin can control any woman he finds, but he may not. If he finds a rich lady, the whole family will be offended, so why bother.
Yang Chen saw his parents smiling happily and chatting happily with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He couldn't help but recall that many years ago, a group of child police officers at the police station could make his parents humble and submissive. The scenes of those years were unforgettable in his mind. Every time he recalled them, he felt sad and aggrieved for his parents.
At this moment, his parents were on an equal footing with the most powerful family in the Republic. He was overjoyed. The fantasy he had clenched his fists and gritted his teeth countless times had finally come true.
This may not be enough.
Yang Chen pondered it calmly, his ambition was still at work.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when the banquet ended. The Yang family, led by Yang Guodong and Liu Hua, sent the Wu family away and stared at the motorcade going away. Most of them had extremely complicated emotions.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night for these relatives of the Yang family.
……………………
Garrison Area Courtyard, General Building.
Liu Rulong, the commander of the garrison wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking to his old comrades on the phone, "You came to Beijing the day before yesterday, and now you tell me, Guodong, Guodong, do you have a good son?"
Don’t you take my old comrade seriously?”
The person on the other end of the phone was Yang Chen's father, Yang Guodong.
"Okay, okay, no need to explain. I'm just joking, but that doesn't mean I forgive you. When we meet, I will drink you down." Liu Rulong said with a bold smile.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes and hung up the phone. Liu Rulong had no time to express his gratitude to his old comrade for his good fortune. His wife Xu Jing came down from the second floor and asked him, "Who are you talking to?"
Liu Rulong said: "Guodong came to Beijing with his wife."
"What are you here for?" Xu Jing asked cautiously, she knew who Guodong was.
Liu Rulong said: "My son is getting engaged in Beijing, so of course we can't do without them."
"What? Engagement? For such a big matter, you didn't discuss it with me and made your own decision. This is a family matter, not a military matter. How could you do this? Besides, your daughter has never fallen in love with Yang Guodong's son. You made your own decision.
, It’s really harming our daughter!” Xu Jing was anxious, afraid of whatever came next.
Liu Rulong looked at his wife's hysterical appearance, confused.
