"Don't talk about it, we can't discuss the matters of the older generation... Now the guests are almost here. If there are heavyweight guests, the time will come."
"Look forward to it. I heard that a direct descendant of a first-class family will show up, although I'm not sure if it's true."
"If it is true, only the uncle's family has this strength. The aunt and uncle's families are not so good."
"..."
The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, everyone was chatting, but a few people were on pins and needles.
That is Yang Lei's family of three.
Next to the empty round table, the faces of Yang Lei's family of three all looked a little ugly. Only Zhou Yi was eating, with a relaxed expression, and even stretched out on the chair.
No matter what Yang Lei said, he didn't stand up when the guests came, but since almost all the guests ignored them, it was okay for Zhou Yi not to stand up.
Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
"Mo Mo, if there is a guest here, just stand up and say hello. Aren't you tired?" Zhou Yi asked after taking a sip of tea.
Yang Momo's pretty face was full of grievances. Of course she didn't want to stand up and show a reluctant smile, but this was all forced by her mother, and she also thought it was reasonable.
Those guests were very important to them, and other direct descendants stood up, so it would be shameful for them not to stand up.
After all, they are not as confident as Yang Pengyun.
"You can't..." Just when Yang Momo wanted Zhou Yi to stand up, the latter continued: "Besides, you stand up and smile at others, and no one pays attention to you. How embarrassing."
The corner of Yang Momo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
She could finally see that Zhou Yi, who was usually used to her venomous tongue, was taking naked revenge.
"Boy, why don't you stand up?"
Aunt Yang Lei couldn't help but interrupt.
Zhou Yi's reply was simple: "Because they don't deserve it."
Yang Lei's tone suddenly paused, and then Yang Momo asked: "Mom, didn't you say it's all done? Why don't we have any guests? It's too embarrassing to sit here."
"A lot of people are looking at us."
Yang Lei forced her respect and said: "What do you know? It's not about inviting many guests, it's about the size of the guests."
Yang Momo replied: "What you said makes sense, but we don't have any guests at home, how can we talk about the weight?"
Yang Lei was speechless for a moment, then Ying Keming looked at her and whispered: "It's so late and you haven't come yet. Is it possible that something happened to Zhenghe suddenly? How about I call him now and ask him."
He wanted to call just now, but Yang Lei never let him do it. Now Yang Lei can't sit still.
Just as he was about to nod, an announcement came from outside:
"Jia Zhenghe, the head of the Jia family in Tiancheng, came to visit!"
The announcement just kept ringing again, and the people at the banquet no longer had the freshness they had at the beginning. Sometimes they didn't even bother to take a look. But after the announcement sounded, everyone soon realized something, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
For a moment.
Almost all the Yang family's descendants looked towards the backyard door, including the Yang family's direct descendants and many guests.
The Jia family, a second-rate family in Tiancheng, is as powerful as the Yang family. It is not that there were no people from the second-rate families visiting just now, but most of them are descendants of the second-rate families.
Of course, there are also direct descendants, whose status is equivalent to Yang Lei of the Yang family or more powerful Yang Qiu, who is equivalent to a marginal figure in a second-rate family or a third-in-command, but this time it is the head of the Jia family.
This is truly the leader of a second-rate family.
The status is equivalent to Yang Kaitai!
This is why everyone is surprised.
Who invited you?
This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.
Judging from the current situation, if it were Yang Pengyun, the already stable position of the head of the family would be even more certain.
If it were Yang Qiu or the five sons of the Yang family, then the arrival of Jia Zhenghe would undoubtedly raise suspense again in the competition for the position of head of the family.
It might be a little worse for other people, but it is also crucial. For example, if Yang Lei invites her, then although Jia Zhenghe's arrival will not allow her to compete for the head of the family, from the perspective of the weight of her connections, one Jia Zhenghe is worth ten.
Because there were no guests before, Jia Zhenghe was able to slap everyone back in the face with other people's gossips.
It's enough for Yang Lei's family to spend this banquet decently.
Just when everyone was speculating.
Under the guidance of the waiter, a middle-aged man in formal attire walked in. He had a smile on his face, giving people a friendly feeling, and walked with a graceful pace without losing his majesty.
"Zhenghe, he is finally here!"
An undisguised smile appeared on Yang Lei's face. Although she had a grudge against Jia Zhenghe before, the latter's appearance now is like a savior, making her understand that she was narrow-minded before.
"Come on, let's go and greet him. This is our guest." Yang Lei quickly stood up and said excitedly.
Yang Momo was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, his pretty face showed a bright smile, and he pulled Zhou Yi: "Cousin, get up quickly. This time he is our guest."
"You can't continue to show off and pick up people together."
Zhou Yi still didn't want to move at first, but seeing that he was a guest invited by his aunt, if he continued not to move, he would be embarrassed to sit at the same table immediately, so he could only stand up and follow him.
Yang Lei’s family stood up!
This scene surprised many people.
There was an uproar in the backyard!
"Wow, the head of the Jia family is actually a guest of the second aunt's family. This is something I didn't expect. The second aunt's family keeps it secret."
"The head of a second-rate family, with a guest of this level, my second aunt will not have the opportunity to be the head of the house."
"The portion is indeed enough, but the quantity is still too small. If there are two more, it will be about the same. Only one is not enough. My uncle and I are not vegetarians."
"That's true, but with guests of this level, the second aunt's family can stand upright at this banquet. All those sarcastic voices just now were slapped in the face."
In this way, the four of them stood up and walked over to Jia Zhenghe, amidst the mixed emotions in their eyes.
"Zhenghe, I won't thank you for your kindness. I will treat you to a drink someday." Ying Keming said with a grateful face.
Although as a visiting son-in-law, he is already familiar with sarcasm, but the period just now was too painful for their family, and Jia Zhenghe's arrival undoubtedly relieved the urgent need.
Jia Zhenghe's eyes flickered and he smiled slightly:
"We are all old classmates. Why are you talking about this? If you treat me in the future, I will definitely go."
Ying Keming nodded repeatedly: "That's for sure."
Jia Zhenghe nodded: "I'm going to have a word with the old man first. If we want to catch up on old times, we can talk after the banquet."
Ying Keming said without hesitation: "Okay, okay."
At present, no matter which company invites guests, their social status is lower than that of Yang Kaitai, and they must go to say hello to the old man first, although Jia Zhenghe and Yang Kaitai have similar status.
But after all, we are guests, so this kind of etiquette is indispensable.
So Jia Zhenghe went to say hello first. Ying Keming and the others didn't think much about it. Only Zhou Yi was slightly stunned and asked:
"Let's talk after the banquet. Can't we talk right away at the table?"
