Chapter nine hundred and sixty sixth name rectification
Lin Zhiming's slap came quickly and hard, so it wasn't until Lin Zhiming finished speaking that everyone realized what had happened.
"Lin Zhiming, how dare you hit my mother!" When Oden saw his mother being beaten, he roared and rushed to Lin Zhiming.
"What? Do you want revenge?" Lin Zhiming looked at Oden coldly and asked.
Oden's face froze, and he remembered that the person in front of him was a super strong man in the Dragon Kingdom. Let alone himself, even a hundred of himself would not be enough to kill the person in front of him.
"A qualified nobleman would not hit a woman. Uncle, look at him. He is so vulgar and violent. How can such a person be qualified to be Natalie's boyfriend?!" Auden shouted angrily.
.
"A qualified noble will not talk shit! A person's origin cannot be decided by himself, but no matter what his origin is, he can determine his life. Natalie and I are indeed not the children of the real wife, but
We work equally hard, and we have achieved more than many people. Both of us deserve the respect of others!" Lin Zhiming said coldly.
Hearing these words, Natalie's nose felt slightly sore.
To be honest, her life was not easy.
Coming to Duke Bauhinia with the name of a bastard, she touched too many people's cakes, so people regarded her as an enemy and always liked to use her origin to attack her.
Over the years, it is not that she has never thought about building her own network of contacts and influence. However, the prejudice of the nobles against a bastard like her made her have to work many times more than others in order to gain the same status as others.
Same effect.
She was really tired and was not surprised by the cynicism.
But what she didn't expect was that today, Lin Zhiming would clear her name in such a way.
Her heart was already filled with emotion.
Lin Zhiming's words were sonorous and powerful, and many people around him nodded frequently.
"If you dare to hit me, you will die!" Scarlett had recovered from the shock of being slapped by Lin Zhiming. She pointed angrily at Lin Zhiming and roared, "I will take care of this matter."
Report it to the royal family, and Her Majesty the Queen will definitely make the decision for me!!"
"say no more."
Ryan Portman, who had been silent, spoke up to stop Scarlett's roar.
"Brother, I was beaten by Natalie's boyfriend, didn't you see?" Scarlett shouted excitedly.
"I saw it, but so what, this is my home, I am the Duke of Bauhinia, and only I am qualified to see Her Majesty the Queen. Do you think, with your status, you can see Her Majesty the Queen?" Ryan.
Portman said.
Scarlett's face stiffened slightly and she said, "Brother, are you planning to help outsiders bully your sister?"
"Today is my birthday. As a sister, is this how you come to celebrate my birthday?" Ryan Portman asked.
"I...I was wrong." Scarlett said with an embarrassed look.
"The guests are coming soon. I don't want this scandal at home to be seen by the guests, and I don't want my good mood today to be ruined. You should take care of yourself." Ryan Portman said.
"I understand, brother." Scarlett nodded, glared at Lin Zhiming fiercely, and said nothing more.
"You know, Scarlett is Natalie's aunt after all. You should never hit her. Apologize." Ryan Portman said.
"If I apologize, doesn't that prove that what she said is right? Natalie and I are both bastards?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"I only apologized because you hit her," said Ryan Portman.
"She scolded me and I hit her. That's right. There is no need to apologize." Lin Zhiming said.
"You are so brave. You haven't even married Natalie yet, yet you don't listen to my brother!" Scarlett said coldly.
"Father, I also think Zhiming is right, and we shouldn't apologize!" Natalie, who had been silent for the whole time, finally stood up to support Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming was moved and glanced at Natalie, then stretched out his hand to hold Natalie's hand.
"Brother, look, look, this is your good daughter!!" Scarlett said excitedly.
"Okay, since you won't apologize, then I'll punish you two to go to the door to greet the guests." Ryan Portman said.
Hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
Ryan Portman doesn't have a good temper, and he doesn't like others to disobey him. Unexpectedly, when faced with the resistance of Lin Zhiming and Natalie, he simply asked them to go to the door to greet the guests.
And then nothing happens?
This is not in line with Ryan Portman’s usual style!
Auden frowned slightly. He also noticed something was wrong. His uncle seemed to be more tolerant of Natalie and Lin Zhiming than he thought. Does this mean...his uncle had regarded Lin Zhiming as his own?
People?
If this is really the case, it would be really difficult!
Lin Zhiming and Natalie were sent to the door to serve as receptionists.
This is actually not a simple job, because there will be guests from all over the day, so they must stand at the door all the time. Even if they go to the toilet, they must shorten the time as much as possible, even at noon.
They can't eat while eating, because no one can guarantee whether there will be guests during the meal. If no guests are received by then, it will definitely be very rude.
For nobles, any disrespect will make them lose face, and the greatest meaning of their lives is face.
Lin Zhiming and Natalie stood at the door together.
"Go and change to shoes with flatter soles!" Lin Zhiming whispered.
"I'm okay, it's okay!" Natalie shook her head.
"The time is still short now. It will be uncomfortable when it takes a little longer. You have never been married, so you don't know how hard it is to stand at the door and wait for someone." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Really?" Natalie asked.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhiming nodded. When he got married to Yao Jing, when he got home at night, Yao Jing's feet were swollen, so he knew what would happen to a woman standing in high heels for a whole day.
Natalie was quite obedient and quickly changed into a pair of shoes with flatter soles.
"If we get married in the future, you must wear flat shoes." Lin Zhiming said.
"Marry?" Natalie was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lin Zhiming.
To be honest, she only had the idea of using Lin Zhiming, and had no other ideas at all. However, what Lin Zhiming said to Scarlett today moved him. Looking at Lin Zhiming now, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Same emotion.
Perhaps, marrying such a man who is willing to protect yourself is a good thing, right?
Time passed little by little, and finally, the first guest arrived.
Lin Zhiming and Natalie enthusiastically sent him to the manor, and then asked the servants to arrange a place for him.
After that, waves of guests came to the manor.
Without exception, these guests are all nobles. They wear luxurious clothes, drive expensive cars, and wear expensive watches and jewelry. Each noble tries their best to show their nobility to people.
Lin Zhiming and Natalie stood at the door for a whole day, and guests kept arriving during this period.
In addition, a large number of media gathered outside the manor. They set up cameras one by one, as if they were at a large awards ceremony.
In the blink of an eye, it suddenly became dark.
The entire manor was shrouded in golden light.
The lawn, pool, and even the woods in the distance were all lit up with yellow lights.
The golden light made the entire manor seem to be plated with gold.
There were obviously many fewer guests at this time, and Natalie couldn't stand any longer, so she leaned against Lin Zhiming's body.
"Fortunately, I listened to your words and changed into flat shoes!" Natalie said with emotion.
"But even if this is the case, your feet will be swollen when you go back to your room at night!" Lin Zhiming said.
"It's swollen now and it's uncomfortable!" Natalie said helplessly.
"After the dinner that night, I will go to your room and massage your feet." Lin Zhiming said.
"No..." Natalie was just about to refuse Lin Zhiming, but for some reason, she stopped as soon as she said the word "no".
"What did you say?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"No, let's wait until the dinner is over," Natalie said.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
At this moment, a golden carriage led by several Rolls-Royces came from a distance.
"The royal family is here!" Natalie stood up straight when she saw the carriage and said.
Lin Zhiming nodded and tidied his clothes.
After a while, the golden carriage stopped in front of Lin Zhiming and Natalie.
The groom jumped out of the carriage, opened the door, and then brought a chair and placed it next to the door.
Prince Wesley leaned out of the carriage, nodded to Lin Zhiming, stepped on the chair and walked out of the carriage.
"Your Highness!" Lin Zhiming and Natalie gave Wesley a noble salute.
"Well, hello!" Wesley said to the two of them with a smile.
"Your Highness, please come with us!" Lin Zhiming said.
Wesley nodded, and then followed Lin Zhiming and Natalie into the manor.
"Have you taken precautions against what I told you?" Wesley walked beside Lin Zhiming and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I took precautions. Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness!" Lin Zhiming said.
"That's good!" Wesley nodded with satisfaction.
With the arrival of the prince, all the guests finally arrived.
There are hundreds of tables and chairs in the first-floor hall of the Bauhinia Duke's residence.
The guest rooms between the second and fifth floors are all occupied by distinguished guests. In addition, all the surrounding five-star hotels have been booked for those who came to attend the birthday banquet.
Lin Zhiming roughly estimated that more than a thousand people would come this time.
This is just counting the nobles. Some nobles brought male and female companions when they went out, and some even brought servants. The total number of people exceeded 3,000, of which more than 1,000 nobles were arranged in the hall. Others
Others were arranged outdoors.
Two hundred tables were placed on the lawn of the manor, and these two hundred tables were almost full!
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the dinner officially started!
