Chapter 1671-1672
Chen Xiaolong didn't care about Yang Ming's words. He just snorted coldly and turned away.
He felt that Yang Ming was a little unreasonable, even a little arrogant!
Indeed, if it were four years ago when I was still a freshman in high school, I would definitely be very afraid of Yang Ming. School life is completely different from now. In school, whoever has a strong fist is the most powerful, but in society, Who is tougher than a fist? He scattered some banknotes casually, and many people came to help him.
The elevator dinged and stopped on the sixth floor. Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan followed everyone and walked out of the elevator. Chen Mengyan held Yang Ming's hand tightly. It was obvious that Chen Mengyan was very nervous. Yang Ming gave a comforting smile. : "It's nothing, I won't act rashly, at least I won't make it difficult for Uncle Chen."
Yang Ming knew that what Chen Mengyan was worried about was not that Chen Xiaolong would do something unexpected, but that Yang Ming would do something impulsive when angry. By then, if Chen Fei is here, it will not end well. Chen Mengyan was relieved when she saw that Yang Ming understood what she meant.
The entire sixth floor is a banquet hall. At this time, many people have arrived. They are sitting on the seats in the banquet hall. They are chatting in groups. The elevator door opens, and everyone looks towards the elevator entrance in unison. When they saw Chen Zhifu coming out, they all stopped talking and stood up.
These people are all people who came out of Chenjia Village or are still in the village. They come from all walks of life, but their achievements are not as high as Chen Zhifu's, let alone Chen Zhiye's.
Some people here recognized that the man next to Chen Zhifu was Chen Zhiye, and they all showed envious eyes.
Chen Zhifu walked out of the elevator, made a greeting gesture to everyone present, and then introduced: "This is my brother Chen Zhiye, the chairman of Nanfang Zhengyuan Import and Export Trading Company!"
Most of the people present came here to flatter Chen Zhifu and Chen Zhiye brothers, and were looking for some benefits from the two of them, so these people immediately clapped their hands and applauded after hearing Chen Zhifu's introduction.
Chen Zhifu was very satisfied with the current scene and atmosphere, smiled and nodded to everyone, and continued to introduce: "This is my nephew, Chen Xiaolong!"
Applause rang out again, accompanied by compliments from some people, praising Chen Xiaolong for his talent, his youth and his potential, etc. In short, everything was said, which made Chen Xiaolong's self-esteem unprecedentedly satisfied.
Chen Xiaolong glanced at Chen Mengyan proudly. He wanted Chen Mengyan to see how glorious he was now. As long as he followed him,
Half of this glory belongs to her.
However, Chen Mengyan remained indifferent, as if she didn't hear the praise from the person in front of her at all, her face expressionless. Chen Xiaolong felt a little depressed, so he gave Yang Ming another demonstrative look, which meant to show the gap between himself and him.
However, what is even more regrettable is that the expression on Yang Ming's face not only did not show any shame or envy, but also a look of ridicule, which added another level of resentment in Chen Xiaolong's heart. This Yang Ming is completely clueless. He has clearly shown that he is a hundred times stronger than him, but he is still indifferent. Is this person really ignorant or is he arrogant to a certain extent?
Chen Xiaolong snorted helplessly and turned back. At this time, Chen Zhifu said: "Next, we invite Chen Qiye, the old patriarch of Chenjia Village!"
As soon as Chen Zhifu finished speaking, the praise for Chen Xiaolong and Chen Zhiye and his son in the restaurant immediately subsided. It can be seen that Chen Qiye's status in the eyes of everyone in Chenjiacun'u1'.
A side door of the restaurant slowly opened, and a man of about sixty years old supported an old man of about eighty years old and walked out slowly. This man of about sixty years old was Chen Zhifu's father, Chen Dahe. , is also the current village head of Chenjia Village. And the eighty-year-old man next to him is the old patriarch Chen Qiye in Chen Zhifu's words! "Seventh Master!" "Seventh Uncle" "Seventh Master"
People in Chenjia Village spoke one after another, calling people respectfully and calling them any number of names, but these three types of names were the most common, and the others were just for close relatives, such as uncle, grandpa and so on. "Seventh Master!" Chen Zhifu and Chen Fei immediately stepped forward, and even Chen Zhiye cautiously went over to say hello. One can imagine how high the Seventh Master's status is.
Master Qi nodded slightly as everyone greeted them. It could be seen that the old man was in good spirits. Although he was over eighty years old, he was still very healthy.
The old man saw Chen Zhiye and nodded to him: "Zhiye is back! Well, you have returned home in fine clothes and have not embarrassed our Chenjia Village!"
"This is all due to Master Qi's good education when he was young!" Chen Zhiye said quickly and respectfully. Although he is a billionaire, Master Chen Qi is the supreme existence in the minds of all the people in Chenjia Village. He is a person in the old society. The patriarch of a family with a big surname is like a god, and his words cannot be disobeyed!
No matter how high an official you are in the court, or whether you are a wealthy person, "when you return to your hometown, you must treat the elders of the family with the courtesy of a junior, otherwise, it will be considered unfilial and unfilial." Understand ethics.
Although it is a new era now, this tradition has been preserved in many big families, and Chenjiacun is no exception. Although Chen Zhiye is making waves outside, he will never come back.
When I saw Chen Qiye later, he was still respectful. "Yes." Chen Qiye nodded, and his eyes fell on Chen Fei again. There were only a few outstanding people in Chenjia Village. Chen Qiye naturally remembered them in his heart. He usually took pride in chatting with others. Talking point: "Xiao Feizi, you are here too, not bad! I heard that you have become the director, and you are the biggest official in our Chenjiacun now! You and Zhiye Zhengyi are the younger generation of our Chenjiacun He is the leading figure in the film!" "Master Qi has given you the award." Chen Fei quickly said modestly: "How can we be considered the younger generation? Our children are already twenty!" "That's true!" Master Chen Qi said. He stroked his beard, then turned to look at Chen Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, do you still recognize the Seventh Master?"
"Seventh Master!" Chen Xiaolong said with humility and respect: "Xiaolong, how can you not recognize it? When I was a child, you still carried me to play by the river! At that time, I was still ignorant and pulled your beard!"
Chen Xiaolong had already known from his father that the key to the success or failure of his affair with Chen Mengyan was Master Qi's attitude. If Master Qi made an effort to facilitate this matter, then with Master Qi's status in the Chen family village, he would be able to make every promise. Even if Chen Fei doesn't want to, he won't hesitate to consider it. Therefore, Chen Xiaolong decided to flatter Chen Qiye fiercely.
"Hehehehe..." Chen Qiye couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Chen Xiaolong talk about his childhood memories. He also thought of all the past, and lovingly touched Chen Xiaolong's head: "Well, in the blink of an eye, that The little brat following the seventh master is going to get a wife!"
"Seventh Master..." Chen Xiaolong said deliberately pretending to be naive.
"By the way, I heard that you have a crush on Xiao Feizi's daughter?" Master Chen Qi suddenly asked kindly. "Seventh Master, I..." Chen Xiaolong pretended to blush, but in the end he nodded.
"Hahahaha, okay, Master Qi has the final say on this matter!" Chen Qiye narrowed his eyes and said confidently: "When it comes to matchmaking, 80% of the young people in Chen Village are Chen Qiye, I did it! Even the marriage between Xiaofeizi and Xiaoyu was arranged by me back then, right, Xiaofeizi?"
When Chen Fei heard Chen Qiye talking about Chen Xiaolong and Chen Mengyan, his expression froze. He was about to say something, but he didn't expect that Chen Qiye suddenly mentioned his marriage to Chen Fangyu. He nodded in agreement and said with a wry smile: "Yes. , thank you Qi Ye for being a matchmaker for me!"
"Yes." Chen Qiye nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chen Mengyan who was beside Chen Fei: "Is this little Mengyan? Yes, she is so beautiful. She looks like your mother at the same time. No wonder we, Xiaolong, look at her Coming to you!"
This Master Chen Qi is Chen Dahe’s seventh uncle and Chen Xiaolong’s seventh uncle, so he is particularly concerned about Chen Xiaolong’s affairs. As soon as he heard that Chen Xiaolong liked Chen Mengyan, he decided to decide on their marriage!
You know, Chenjia Village has a rule, that is, the young men and women in the village should try their best to find partners in the village and not go to other villages. So when I heard that Chen Xiaolong was looking for Chen Fei's daughter Chen Mengyan, Chen Qiye decided to do it without even thinking about it. I took it all in with a mouthful! However, Chen Zhiye and Chen Zhifu were very happy. With Master Qi coming forward, they were not afraid that Chen Fei would say anything more. 167Z Granted marriage
"Seventh Master" Chen Mengyan's expression changed immediately. She didn't expect that she would encounter such an embarrassing situation! Chen Mengyan didn't have much contact with Chen Qiye when she was a child, so she wasn't very afraid of him, but when she saw her parents' cautious looks, she suddenly felt cold and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Haha, okay, today, in front of the whole village of Chenjia Village, I announce that my great-nephew Chen Xiaolong and Chen Mengyan of Xiao Feizi's family are officially engaged!" Chen Qiye has not hosted a wedding for a young person for a long time. Well, if it weren't for Chen Xiaolong today, he wouldn't be like this. At most, he would send Chen Dahe to announce his congratulations on his behalf.
But today Chen Xiaolong is his grandnephew, and he feels that only by announcing it himself can his grandnephew have face in front of everyone in Chenjia Village! "well!"
People in Chenjia Village shouted "Hello", congratulations and blessings one after another. Chen Xiaolong was particularly proud at this moment. He just felt that this was the best moment in his life!
He glanced at Yang Ming with contempt, then at Chen Mengyan with pride, thinking, so what if you are boyfriend and girlfriend? As long as Chen Mengyan is from Chenjia Village, she must listen to Master Chen Qi. This is the clan rule!
Chen Fei's face became quite ugly. He didn't expect Chen Qiye to come out of the blue. However, due to the relationship between Chen Qiye and Chen Qiye when he was a child, Chen Fei couldn't refute him verbally, so the atmosphere was like this. There was a stalemate. "Seventh Master, I have a boyfriend! I can't accept this engagement!" Chen Mengyan also put her parents in trouble. At this time, she could only refuse it.
Originally, everyone in Chenjia Village was congratulating Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong, but Chen Mengyan's sudden words suddenly made the scene cool down and became silent.
The smile on Chen Qiye's face also solidified instantly. He didn't expect that Chen Mengyan still had a boyfriend! Yes, he has never thought about this matter. If he had known about it in advance, he might not be so reckless! But, he doesn’t know, and since his words have been released, they cannot be changed!
Because he is Chen Qiye, the patriarch of Chenjia Village, and he always sticks to his word throughout his life. Even the current village chief Chen Dahe must listen to him and cannot go against his will.
Therefore, in Chenjia Village, the custom of Chen Qiye's words has been developed. What Chen Qiye says is the imperial edict. No one can violate or resist it. Even if what he says is wrong, others must carry it out.
Although Chen Mengyan's refusal was reasonable, Chen Qiye would not allow this situation to happen. He would not allow a junior to dare to resist his order!
Chen Qiye's face darkened, and he looked a little ferocious. After so many years, no one dared to refute him like this, especially in front of so many people. This was the entire Chenjia Village. If he took back what he had said before, he would never do it again in the future. How dare you continue to stay in Chenjiacun for 7 days?
"What kind of boyfriend! You are from Chenjiacun, how can you find someone outside?" Chen Qiye snorted coldly and said without any doubt: "Okay, I have made the decision on this matter, you will marry Chen Xiaolong ! Now that the day is set, you should hold the engagement ceremony first!"
After listening to Chen Qiye's words, Chen Xiaolong suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face. Before, he was worried that Chen Qiye was not tough enough and would give up after hearing that Chen Mengyan had a boyfriend. However, he did not expect that Chen Qiye would be better than he imagined. The ones in the middle are even more domineering.
At this moment, Chen Fei finally understood that he had been fooled, and he should not have come tonight at all. "He is not a stupid person. After contacting Chen Zhifu's previous attitude towards Chen Mengyan, he also understood that tonight's banquet is just a set-up for himself. The purpose of the trap set by the family was Chen Mengyan!
Chen Zhiye's son Chen Xiaolong didn't know what happened, but he fell in love with Chen Mengyan and actually invited Qi Ye to be a matchmaker! This made Chen Fei angry but at the same time helpless. No matter how much he did, Master Qi was still their elder! He couldn't refute it, and he was too embarrassed to object.
Chen Fangyu and Chen Fei also had the same idea. They looked at Chen Zhifu with some hatred and regretted answering the call. They only hoped that Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Jacket Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Jackets Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Jackets Hurry up and get over what happened tonight, and then dance with Qi Ye afterwards, that's all.
However, now it seems that Master Chen Qi is unwilling to give up and insists on making a decision today.
"Master Qi, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I think, how about tonight?" Chen Zhifu narrowed his eyes and suggested to Master Chen Qi: "In this way, everyone in Chenjia Village will be here, and I can still be a witness. !What do you think?”
"Okay, let's do it tonight!" Chen Qiye also wants to cut the knot quickly. The matter is already like this. Only by solving it as soon as possible can he keep his prestige from being damaged. Otherwise, after tonight, who knows what else will happen? misfortune?
When the time comes, the people in Chenjia Village will say nothing to his face, but they will definitely comment behind his back that his words have no authority. Thinking of all these, Chen Qiye becomes even more determined to facilitate this marriage.
"Master Qi said that we will hold an engagement ceremony for Chen Xiaolong and Chen Mengyan tonight. Doesn't everyone have any objections?" Chen Zhifu looked at the people in Chenjia Village.
Although everyone has seen some clues, Chen Qiye in Chenjia Village always sticks to his word. Since Chen Qiye has said so, how can anyone else object? So, everyone agreed in agreement.
"I said, old man, there's nothing wrong with you, right?" Yang Ming stood aside, really unable to bear it. I really dislike Chen Qiye’s way of doing things by relying on his elders and selling them off! Yang Ming also clearly saw Chen Qiye's shock the moment he found out that Chen Mengyan had a boyfriend. He knew that Chen Qiye was probably being used as a weapon by the Chen Zhifu brothers, and he felt some sympathy for the old man. .
However, after Chen Qiye found out that Chen Mengyan had a boyfriend, not only did he not take back his previous words, but he insisted on asking Chen Mengyan to give it to Chen Xiaolong. This made Yang Ming's impression of Chen Qiye plummet in an instant!
It must be said that Yang Ming was originally a person who respected the elderly and loved the young, otherwise he would not have been brave enough to help the old man selling the street stall, and thus obtained these magical glasses.
Later, in the detention center, it was out of Fang Tian's sympathy that she helped him teach those gangsters a lesson.
But the Chen Qiye in front of him now does not deserve the slightest respect or sympathy from Yang Ming! He actually forced Chen Mengyan to marry Chen Xiaolong for his own selfish reasons. This approach has offended Yang Ming's bottom line! Even if he is an old man in his eighties, Yang Ming will not give him any face!
In order to maintain the dignity of one's own words, to forcefully do such a damaging thing is not only immoral, but also a lack of brains! That's why Yang Ming wondered if Mr. Chen Qi was old and confused.
Although Yang Ming's voice was not loud, it was very powerful and could be heard clearly by everyone present! The entire hall immediately became silent and looked in the direction of Yang Ming!
Yang Ming actually called Chen Qiye an old man. Such things that challenged Chen Qiye's majesty had never happened before. These people were at a loss for a while, and they were all silent!
"Little bastard, what did you say!?" Chen Qiye was so angry at Yang Ming's words that he raised the crutch in his hand and threw it at Yang Ming: "Whose child are you from? I'll beat you to death. !”
Yang Ming curled his lips, dodged Chen Qiye's crutch with a casual move, and thought to himself, this is because of your age, I will humble you once, otherwise, another person would dare to wave the crutch at Yang Ming. , Yang Ming had already retaliated with tooth for tooth.
