Nearly twenty people gathered around the large round table. Chu Haocheng, the acting head of the Chu family, sat in the center, with some core members of the Chu family on both sides.
The round table is filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and several bottles of old wine that have been opened exude an intoxicating aroma.
"Master, that Lu Tianlong really doesn't know how to appreciate others."
Someone suddenly said something.
This banquet was originally a welcome banquet prepared by Chu Haocheng for Lu Tianlong, but Lu Tianlong had refused before.
These people present are all Chu Haocheng's confidants. They were not in the Chu family's inner circle before, but after Chu Haocheng became the acting head of the Chu family, he drew them all in.
The guy who spoke was related to Chu Haocheng, and today he also saw that there was something going on between Lu Tianlong and Chu Haocheng.
"You're right. That Lu Tianlong really doesn't know how to show appreciation. Our head of the family invited him to dinner, but he actually refused."
"That kid is so coaxing that he doesn't know how high the sky is and how high it is."
"Our master invites him to dinner to praise him..." Several people nearby immediately echoed, trying to flatter Chu Haocheng.
Chu Haocheng, who was sitting in the center, had a smile on his face and did not stop him. He just waited until everyone had finished talking and then waved his hand.
"Everyone, Tianlong is still a child, we can't ask too much of him."
"And last time, our Chu family was able to defeat the Huangfu family, and he also contributed."
"By the way, there's another thing. I'm just the acting head of the Chu family now. Don't make a mistake when you call me."
Although he said this, everyone could understand what Chu Haocheng meant.
"Haha, Patriarch, what kind of Patriarch? In our eyes, you are the Patriarch of the Chu family."
"That is, the old patriarch is too old and must give way. You are the patriarch we recognize in our hearts."
"Yes, brothers and sisters like Chu Xinghe and Chu Xingwan are not qualified to compete with you."
"They are just juniors and cannot support the entire Chu family. If they want to develop, they have to rely on you, the head of the family."
"You are absolutely right. The last time our Chu family fought against the Huangfu family, our family leader went into seclusion. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to lead us to defeat the Huangfu family."
"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that the head of the family was in seclusion, it wouldn't be Lu Tianlong's turn to be in the limelight."
A group of people were chattering. Although Lu Tianlong had done many things recently that shocked Linhai, these people present still looked down upon him.
In fact, not to mention Lu Tianlong, they also have opinions about Lu Tianlong's mother, Chu Xingwan.
In their opinion, Lu Tianlong's father, Lu Wuxie, was an abandoned son of the Lu family. As a member of the Chu family, Chu Xingwan had not known such a person for so many years.
This is a shame for the Chu family.
Now Lu Tianlong is so powerful, it’s not because some people are helping him.
He is just a kid who comes from a barbaric land like the Ancient Clan in the World, and he is not qualified to compete with a powerful family like the Chu family.
"boom!"
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly opened.
Lu Tianlong walked in front with his head held high, followed by Supreme Evil Spirit and Black Ape on the left and right, and behind him was a slightly nervous Chu Xingqiang.
"Master of the house."
Chu Xingqiang trotted to the front.
"It's like this. Mr. Lu temporarily said that he would come over to attend the banquet, so I brought him over."
"Originally, I wanted to inform you first, but he just barged in."
After hearing his report, Chu Haocheng nodded and waved his hand to signal him to stand aside.
Then Chu Haocheng showed a very kind smile on his face, sat there without moving, and waved to Lu Tianlong.
"Tianlong, I'm very happy that you can come to the banquet. Come and sit."
"However, you are not young anymore, and there are many of your elders here. You can't be so reckless in the future, and you have to follow some rules."
In the eyes of others, this is the earnest instruction of his elders, but Lu Tianlong knows that he is just reminding himself of his identity all the time.
Remind Lu Tianlong that he is still an outsider in the Chu family after all and cannot act recklessly or wildly.
However, Lu Tianlong is going to be reckless and wild today.
"I'm not here to eat."
Lu Tianlong's expression was calm, his eyes swept around the people at the round table in front, and saw the table full of delicacies.
This made his eyes become cold.
Grandpa was still living in a dark and damp house in the back hill, and was somewhat malnourished because of not having enough food and drink. He even tried to excuse them, saying that the Chu family needed resources for development now and he could save some.
Isn't it hateful that they bullied an old man like this?
What's more, that old man is still the head of the Chu family! Why! Is it because he was seriously injured?
Is it because Chu Haocheng is the most powerful and senior person in the Chu family now?
Or is it because uncle Chu Xinghe and mother Chu Xingwan are in seclusion and will not return to the Chu family in a short time?
"I came here today just to ask you why my grandpa is in the remote barren mountains behind."
Lu Tianlong stared at Chu Haocheng and asked coldly.
"I also want to ask you, the room where he eats and drinks is dark and damp, and no one even cleans the room."
"The people who serve him are so lazy that they even have problems with food and clothing."
"I need an answer to these questions."
Lu Tianlong didn't give Chu Haocheng any face at all, and directly raised the question in front of everyone.
Chu Haocheng frowned slightly. Lu Tianlong's behavior would make him lose face. However, he quickly smiled again. There were all his cronies in the room, so it didn't matter.
"Tianlong, things are not what you think. Sit down and let's talk slowly."
He smiled and waved to Lu Tianlong.
Lu Tianlong snorted coldly, "It's not what I thought. I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be fake?"
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man at the round table stood up angrily.
"Lu Tianlong, pay attention to your attitude and how you talk to our family master."
"This is the Chu family, not a place where you can be arrogant."
Lu Tianlong ignored him and still stared at Chu Haocheng, "Chu Haocheng, I'm waiting for you to give me an answer."
"Boy, didn't you hear what I said? It's too presumptuous!"
Seeing that Lu Tianlong ignored him, the guy felt very embarrassed and walked towards Lu Tianlong while cursing.
"I'll say it again, this is the Chu family, not the Lu family, and this is not a place where you can run wild."
"Don't think that just because you have helped the Chu family, you can do whatever you want..." It's chilling.
At first, Lu Tianlong almost tried his best to help and protect the Chu family, but now, only a short time has passed, and people like the Chu family are treating him with this attitude.
Since it’s meaningless, don’t blame yourself for being heartless! “Xiao Hei.”
Lu Tianlong still didn't look at the guy, and just shouted lightly.
