Shen Chenyu and her parents were brought to the main table in front and sat with Jiang Zhendong and other important figures in the Jiang family.
When Jiang Zhendong saw everyone from the Shen family arriving, he said hello with a smile on his face.
Shen Hongru snorted, naturally he didn't look good.
Jiang Zhendong is able to achieve his current status because he has already seen the world's ups and downs, so he doesn't care about Shen Hongru's expression.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Zhendong walked towards the table of the restaurant. Someone had already prepared a microphone.
Jiang Zhendong took the microphone and said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to thank all the leaders and friends who are here today. Thank you for coming to support Quanzi's engagement banquet today. Let me introduce to you my Jiang family's in-laws. In-laws It is the Shen family in Hangzhou. The Shen family is a scholarly family. Shen Zihua, the famous literary giant in Hangzhou, is from the Shen family. The current head of the Shen family is Mr. Shen Hongru. Mr. Shen Hongru has taught and educated people all his life, and his talents are all over the world. Some of the Hangzhou people present here Colleagues and friends, your children may have been taught by Mr. Shen Hongru."
Jiang Zhendong was introducing some information about the Shen family. This brief introduction also allowed the guests present to understand some of the Shen family's origins.
Although the Shen family is not an aristocratic family, it is a scholarly family with a profound cultural heritage. Women trained by such a scholarly family are also very popular with some powerful families in terms of marriage.
These aristocratic families already have no shortage of power and money. If they can be combined with a scholarly family and get some cultural atmosphere, they can also improve the style and class of their own family.
Therefore, after listening to Jiang Zhendong's introduction, the guests at the venue were not surprised why the Jiang family would like the daughter of the Shen family.
To take a step back, the Shen family's daughter's beauty and intellectual elegance make it clear at first glance that she is a woman who has read poetry and books and is extremely talented, not the kind of wealthy lady who only uses her appearance as a flower vase.
If such a woman can marry into a family, she will make a lot of money.
"Quanzi Jiang Long and Mr. Shen Hongru's daughter Shen Chenyu were classmates in junior high school, and we have a close friendship. I sincerely wish them that they can love each other and get together," Jiang Zhendong said with a smile.
As soon as these words were finished, there was thunderous applause in the audience.
"That's nonsense, that's nonsense! When did our Shen family agree to this marriage?"
Shen Hongru, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't hold it any longer and immediately burst out in anger.
However, the angry and dissatisfied voice was drowned in the thunderous applause, and no one cared about what he said.
Chen Chenyu took his father's hand and told him not to get excited or angry, lest he would relapse into his old habits.
In fact, on the way to the Phoenix Restaurant, Shen Chenyu had already told her parents that they didn't have to say anything after arriving at the Phoenix Restaurant, and they didn't need to rush to stand up and express their opinions. She would make all the arrangements.
Even so, Father Shen still couldn't control his anger when he heard Jiang Zhendong's words on the stage, in which Jiang Zhendong made his own opinions without caring about the Shen family's feelings or asking whether the Shen family agreed.
After the thunderous applause gradually died down, Jiang Zhendong continued: "Today's banquet is, firstly, for today's happy event, and secondly, because I want to meet all my old friends. So, everyone must eat next. It's delicious. If there is any aspect where the reception was not good, please feel free to point it out."
For Jiang Zhendong's words, the overall situation has basically been decided.
By announcing in front of many guests that the daughter of the Shen family was engaged to be married to Jiang Long, the Shen family was not given a chance to refute and stand up.
After saying what needed to be said, Jiang Zhendong was already ready to step down.
At this time, Chen Chenyu stood up suddenly. Her tone was calm, neither humble nor overbearing, and she said: "Mr. Jiang, it is rare that there are so many guests present today. As one of the parties involved, I have something to say. Please lend me the microphone. use."
Jiang Zhendong's eyes flashed. At this juncture, Shen Chenyu suddenly stood up and wanted to speak with the microphone. It was self-evident what this meant.
An old fox like Jiang Zhendong can naturally guess it.
However, he seemed to be well prepared for this situation. He smiled and said, "It's okay for you to say a few words today, so come on stage."
Shen Chenyu walked towards the table, and a man came up to him with a microphone. The moment the man handed the microphone to Shen Chenyu, he whispered: "Today is a great day for the Jiang family to entertain guests. Today, for the sake of the personal safety of the two elders of the Shen family, I hope Miss Shen will exercise her discretion, otherwise she will bear the consequences."
After saying this, the microphone in the man's hand was also put into Chen Chenyu's hand.
Shen Chenyu held the microphone and stood on the stage. The words she had prepared disappeared in an instant. There was only a blank in her mind. Her world seemed to have turned into black and white, without any color.
An indescribable chill rose from the soles of her feet, making her feel indescribable panic and fear.
She looked at her parents who were sitting in the audience. They looked at her expectantly, expecting her to say what she wanted to say and make the appropriate statement.
Before taking the stage, Chen Chenyu thought the same way.
However, with the microphone in her hand at this moment, she seemed to have become mute and could not speak a word.
The undisguised threat and warning just now was still echoing in her ears. She heard it correctly. The other party mentioned personal safety.
In other words, the Jiang family has threatened her parents' lives!
Resist?
How to resist?
With the Jiang family's sinister nature and overwhelming power, she believed that the Jiang family could do it.
Anyway, there are a lot of people in this world who are paid to kill people to eliminate disasters for others. Even if it is investigated afterwards, it will definitely have nothing to do with the Jiang family!
At this moment, Chen Chenyu was really scared.
If this kind of threat was directed at her, she would not be afraid. She would not be afraid to die in order to preserve her reputation. But if it were her parents, she really could not be afraid!
Those are my parents, the parents who gave birth to and raised me.
How could she not be worried or scared?
Chen Chenyu's eyes became moist. She clearly had boundless anger in her heart, but she had no way to vent it. She just felt like she was falling into a bottomless dark abyss, and no light could be seen in front of her eyes.
…
call!
Outside the Phoenix Restaurant, a sturdy Paramount Predator sped over and stopped with a squeak.
The car door opened, and a young and upright man jumped out of the car with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He exuded a masculine and domineering aura. This was Ye Junlang.
Ye Junlang walked towards the Phoenix Restaurant, but was blocked by some security personnel arranged outside the restaurant. One of them said: "Sir, a private banquet is being held inside the restaurant. You cannot enter without an invitation."
"Invitation? There really isn't one. But I know Jiang Long and am very familiar with him. Jiang Long must be extremely excited when he sees me. With such a relationship, can I go in?"
Ye Junlang narrowed his eyes and smiled and asked.
