Chapter 950 The Bans
The atmosphere in the venue was very lively.
The emcee really knew his stuff. But he still felt quite tense to speak in front of so many powerful people. Yet, to transfer tension into motivation was also a kind of ability.
After the ceremony, the dishes were served.
That instantly made many peopleâs eyes widen in shock.
âHey? What kind of dish is this? Iâve never seen this before. It smells so good. I canât believe something could smell so good, could it?â
âIâve had enough of feasts, but Iâm really surprised to see that todayâs dishes are so fancy.â
These were what many people were thinking. Yet, since all the people present were quite famous and powerful, most of them merely kept their thoughts to themselves and didnât say them out loud.
But there were some who didnât care about saving face.
Patriarch Ma looked at the dishes just served and found that he did not know any of them. Then, he looked at Luo Chengwen in confusion and inquired, â
âPatriarch Luo, you have always been close to Mr. Zhang, so you must know what these dishes are. Could you introduce some to me? Iâve never seen any of these before.â
âSwoosh, swoosh, swoosh!â
The rest of the people at the table also turned their heads toward Patriarch Luo, eager to hear his answer.
Luo Chengwenâs face turned serious.
He seemed to be confident to answer the question. But in fact, he was looking at these dishes out of the corner of his eye.
âI donât know these dishes either!â
But he didnât want to admit that to the others. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea as he thought of something.
With a smile, he said, âIf it werenât for my friendship with Mr. Zhang, I wouldnât have even heard of any of these dishes. You should all take your time and taste each of these. The ingredients of these dishes are extremely precious. Itâs no exaggeration to say that the value of any of the animals that provided the meat here is beyond measure.â
âTheyâre so expensive?â A few peopleâs expressions altered slightly.
The people sitting at this table were from the same niche of society. They believed they had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the world. However, none of them had ever heard of the dishes on the table. Just the smell of the dishes could make their mouth water.
âPatriarch Luo, can you usually have these dishes in the restaurant on Mount New Moon?â someone asked.
âOccasionally.â Luo Chengwen smiled.
He did not reveal the details. The ingredients of Mount New Moon were the best in the world. Even the fruit cultivated there had the flavor that could get people hooked on.
Sadly, he could only go there at dinner time.
As a result, his breakfast and lunch had become somewhat tasteless. But there was nothing he could do. He was a very busy man. And he did not have the face to have every meal there.
âItâs a pity that the membership cards of that restaurant are unavailable now.â Patriarch Ma sighed and said, âIf someone has one, Iâm willing to pay 100 million yuan for it.â
âHahaha, then you will be disappointed.â Luo Chengwen shook his head slightly and said, âLast time, a prince in Dubai offered 300 million yuan for one membership card, but no one was willing to sell him one. The existing membership cards of the restaurant on the mountain are already the last ones.â
âAll right.â
ââŠâ
As the guests on the scene chatted, dishes were served one after another speedily. The dishes were not the kind of that was cooked in a big pot and then divided into small portions. Wang Long, the chef, and his large cook team were busily preparing the food in the back kitchen.
The dishes were served one by one. Soon, the tables were loaded. At a glance, there were about 17 or 18 dishes on each table.
The two pairs of newlyweds began to propose toasts as the guests began to eat.
However, Zhou He and the other three boys were a little stunned.
The four of them could never finish so many dishes. Therefore, they didnât even dare to seize their chopsticks.
Shortly, a group of more than 20 people walked over and sat at the three tables next to them.
They all threw dubious looks at the four.
âWho are they?â a member of the security group asked nonchalantly.
âNo idea.â
âYou areâŠ?â Xu Yong asked in confusion.
These tables were taken by the members of the security group. But why were there other guests at the table?
âI⊠Iâm Zhou He of the Zhou family.â
âIâm Wu Zhaokong.â
The two of them got up and answered him.
âWhy are you sitting here?â Xu Yong was a little bewildered.
He didnât know Zhou He or Wu Zhaokong, but he had heard of the Zhou family and Wu Shanxing.
âOur, er, my brother, Bei Jinânan, is Zhang Yumengâs classmate. We just met her and she brought us here.â
âOh, so youâre Eldest Ladyâs classmate.â
The members of the security group gave a kind smile to them and said, âWelcome. Eat as much as you like. No need to stand on ceremony.â
None of them had been put on sentry duty at Mengmengâs school.
Because according to the work schedule regarding guarding Mengmeng, It was always those who were not busy that were put on duty.
âEl-Eldest Lady.â
Zhou Heâs expression slightly froze in place.
âOh my, who is she on earth?
âSeems that her status is much more distinguished than I imagined.
This is a little too daunting.â
âBrother, Iâm hungry.â
Bei Jinânan glanced at him. Without his older brotherâs permission, he would not have the nerve to touch food either.
âDig in.â
The four people grabbed their chopsticks one after another. However, they couldnât stop eating after they had the first bite.
âWhat kind of meat is this? Itâs so delicious!â
âI thought this flower was just for decoration. But it turned out to taste so fresh and sweet. This is incredibly appetizing.â
ââŠâ
When they had enjoyed the food for 10 minutes, Ah Hu and Liu Jiaran came over.
âBrothers, Iâm here to propose a toast,â Ah Hu said with a smile.
âNo one would like to drink when you propose a toast. Sister-in-law Hu shall be the one to do it!â
Someone started to kick up a fuss.
âCome on, all of you.â
Hoping to gloss this over, Ah Hu picked up the wine from the hands of the waiter behind him.
He proposed a toast to the guests at every table.
However, Zhou He became a little hesitant when he saw this.
âLetting Master Hu propose a toast to me? Are you kidding me? If I let him do it, my parents would flay me alive when I get home!
âIâm not even qualified to propose a toast to him!
âBut why are they coming this way? What should I do? Pour the wine for them? Or just sit back and watch?â
His brain went blank.
He looked at Wu Zhaokong and found that he was also at a loss.
When Ah Hu came over, the two of them quickly stood up, with anxiety and apprehension written all over their faces.
âThat boy isâŠâ
âI know. He is Eldest Ladyâs classmate.â Ah Hu beamed.
âPfftâŠâ
âEven Master Hu has to call Zhang Yumeng Eldest Lady?
âHoly cow!â
Zhou He and Wu Zhaokong looked at each other again, both dumbfounded.
They had no idea what to do.
Many people at the rear were also looking in their direction, especially the parents of the two boys. They were all on tenterhooks.
They wanted to go in and sit by the boys. But if that upset Master HuâŠ
At this thought, their scalps went numb.
âWelcome to our wedding. Help yourself to the food and drinks. Letâs clink glasses,â Ah Hu said with a smile.
âHuh? Ah! Sure, sure, sure.â
The two came to their senses and quickly filled their own glasses with beer.
âThisâŠâ
Age did not matter when exchanging toasts with Master Hu.
They also poured beer for Bei Jinânan and Zhou Lei at the same time.
âThese kids can skip the part involving alcohol. Maybe Eldest Lady will come to play with them later.â
Liu Jiaran covered her mouth and chuckled.
âAll right.â
Zhou He hurriedly raised his glass.
âMaster Hu, I wish you⊠have a happy wedding and a harmonious union lasting a hundred years.â
He almost called Master Huâs wife Sister-in-law Hu.
âGurgle, gurgle.â
He drained his glass all in one gulp.
Seeing the two drinking a toast to the newlyweds, their parents sitting at the rear were both astounded and overjoyed.
Ah Hu nodded to the two before he proceeded to the other tables.
A short while later, Jiang Yanlan and Instructor Liu also came toward them.
Who would dare to cold-shoulder Leading Cadre Liuâs family members?
Just like what had happened just now, they went straight to their table. Without waiting for anyone to introduce the boys, Instructor Liu said he knew them and even called out to Bei Jinânan and Zhou Lei.
He also praised that they were good students and kindly kept Eldest Lady company.
Hearing that, beads of cold sweat broke in across Zhou Heâs and Wu Zhaokongâs forehead.
After the newlyweds left, the boys continued to indulge themselves in dining. Anyway, with Eldest Lady backing them up, it would be a waste if they didnât enjoy the meal.
âWhy havenât you finished eating yet?â
A while later, Mengmeng darted out from the compartment with Chen Chuan.
âFinished. Iâve finished.â
Wu Zhaokong and Zhou He quickly put down their chopsticks.
âLetâs go out to play.â Chen Chuan glanced at Zhou Lei and Bei Jinânan.
He completely ignored the other older boys. They were already too old to play with him.
âLetâs go.â
Mengmeng took the lead and swaggered to the gate of the venue.
âLetâs go thereâŠâ
Zhou He and Wu Zhaokong had the same idea in their heads. They both wanted to scurry to their parents and report the whole incident.
Before he could finish his words, their parents already came to them.
In the lounge, the people had divided into three groups.
The first was Mengmeng and her friends. The second was Patriarch Zhou and his league. The third was Wu Shanxing and his men.
âDad, Zhang Yumeng is Beibeiâs classmate. Everyone here calls her Eldest Lady, including Master Hu,â Wu Zhaokong informed.
âI might know something about her.â With a grave face, Wu Shanxing slowly said, âPeople close to Master Hu call him Ah Hu. In the past, he was with Zhao Feng and made his name known as a member of an underground organization on the south island. Later, he met a distinguished man and formed a group. This group had kind of been acknowledged by the government. In just a few years, Master Hu made his way to the upper class. It seems that his group has something to do with the martial arts world. And his boss⊠is very mysterious. I just heard from Mr. Ma that that man is a legend in the martial arts world. The Mengmeng Group is also his. So is the Zi Yue Entertainment Company, which was named after his wife, Zi Yan, thatâs Zhang Yumengâs mother. Chairman Liu Qingfeng, Patriarch Luo Chengwen, the Chu family, and the Zi family and the Liang family that later rose to power, have all been depending on him. His power is well-founded on the south island. And no one in Xiangjiang can compete with him. He is a real bad*ss. Unfortunately, I didnât know anything about him five years ago when I was still in the underground organization of the Longcheng District. Lately, things have just picked up and Iâve started to make my way to the upper class, I have to be careful about everything.â
âIt turns out that her mother is Zi Yan. No wonder she is so pretty,â Wu Zhaokong thought to himself.
âBy the way, you said that Beibei is having a crush on a classmate of his. Could it be, could it be her?â Wu Sisi abruptly asked.
âFizzy!â
Wu Zhaokongâs expression gradually froze.
He didnât even need to look at his brother to know that it was her.
âErâŠâ Wu Shanxing stuttered, startled. âHas Beibei done anything out of the line?â
âNo, no, no. He always toes the line. Heâs just pursuing Zhang Yumeng.â
âYou brat!â
Wu Shanxingâs face twisted by anger. âShe isnât someone we can associate with. We should make Beibei drop out of that school and go to another one.â
âYou donât need to take things that far.â
Wu Sisi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, âBrother, look over there. Theyâre having a good time. I donât think itâs a bad thing. Just now, Zhang Yumeng took them into the venue for the feast, didnât she?â
âIt may not be a bad thing now, but it doesnât mean it wonât become one in the future. What ifâŠâ
âBeibei is a good boy. I figure we can simply give him some cautions.â Wu Zhaokong mused for two seconds and suggested.
After a moment of hesitation, Wu Shanxingâs face looked much better. Finally, he issued several bans.
âYou canât continue to pursue her unless she is also into you.â
âYou canât make her unhappy, orâŠâ
The bans came into effect just like that.
Zhou He and his parents were also having this discussion. They also considered the factors and said basically the same words.
It was really a combination of opportunity and crisis. They felt that they had picked a road that few had traveled.
After talking about this, they sat here and watched the fun.
After all, their junior members were still playing with Mengmeng over there.
After the feast was over, the guests departed in succession.
âMengmeng, letâs go.â
Zhang Han, Zi Yan, Mu Xue, Zhang Li, Liang Hao, and the others walked out of the compartment and waved to Mengmeng.
âOkay,â Mengmeng responded
Then, she turned to Zhou Lei and Bei Jinânan and said, âI gotta go home.â
âAll right.â
âHow about we all go home and play that online game together?â
The two boys posed the question at the same time.
âNo, I have something important to do,â Mengmeng said seriously.
âTo help the weak and uphold justice?â
âThatâs right.â
To their surprise, Mengmeng smiled when she heard that phrase.
One could imagine how interesting it was for her to help the weak and uphold justice.
