Chapter 1110 The Zhu Family is Here Too

The Xiang family from the southeast came, the Sun family from the center came, the Jiang family from the east came, and the Lu family from the northeast also came.

These families, together with the Guo family in the northwest, formed the Five Constant Virtues model, and basically all major issues were decided by them.

In fact, there was no such thing as the Sun family in the central region originally, but as the Zhu family in the southwest was brought down, the Sun family was brought up to make up the numbers.

After arriving, the five clan leaders wanted to visit Lei Zhen first, but they didn't see anyone, so only Jin Ju came out to meet him.

If we really talk about qualifications, they usually meet the deputy director, and in the end they meet the director.

Mr. Xiang is met by the director and deputy director of the polling bureau.

Because of the difference in status, Lei Zhen will definitely put on airs when necessary.

A few people were quite dissatisfied with not being able to see anyone, but they could only give up for the time being.

"Zhu family in the southwest arrives——"

There was a shout from the door, and Old Man Jiang and several others turned around.

Someone from the Zhu family came, it was Zhu Hongyan’s father Zhu Yuanhan.

Wearing simple casual clothes and with a smile on his face, unlike other families who had a grand show, he just brought two people into the Guo family.

What is he here for?

Many clan leaders were grumbling in their hearts, because it would be fine for anyone to come, but it felt a little inappropriate for someone from the Zhu family to come.

When the Zhu family was suppressed, the Guo family contributed a lot and it can be said that they have accumulated a lot of hatred. Logically speaking, they should not have come at all.

"Hello everyone!"

Zhu Yuanhan walked in and clasped his fists towards everyone around him as a greeting.

Then he saw Old Man Jiang and a few others, and walked over with smiles on his faces.

"Chief Jiang, Chief Xiang, Chief Sun, Chief Lu, long time no see." Zhu Yuanhan was very polite and his expression was natural.

This scene was seen by everyone, and they felt even more confused, but at the same time they also felt that something subtle might happen.

Because not everyone can enter the circle over there. Even if you greet the clan leaders, you won't be able to enter.

This is a rule and also a class.

"It's my nephew Zhu. Long time no see." Old Man Jiang bowed and said with a smile, "Why didn't your father come? I've missed him so much over the years."

"My father went to visit Hongyu. After all, Hongyu left home when she was young. After getting the news about her, my father rushed over immediately. After all, she is his granddaughter." Zhu Yuanhan explained.

"So that's how it is. Congratulations!" Old man Jiang smiled.

"You're too polite, Chief Jiang." Zhu Yuanhan said with a smile, "No matter what, this has finally put one of my father's worries to rest, haha."

"Nephew Zhu, there are no seats here, so I won't invite you to sit down." Sun Jingshan said with a smile.

This is a double entendre. On the surface, it says that there are no seats left, but in reality, it means that the Zhu family is not qualified to sit at this table. Zhu Yuanhan is advised to have some self-awareness.

"Patriarch Sun, I just came to say hello. I didn't plan to sit here." Zhu Yuanhan explained: "After all, this is the position of your five major families. Our Zhu family is certainly not qualified."

Sun Jingshan nodded, looking like a smug villain.

Xiang Zhenhai next to him didn't say anything, as if this was none of his business. Old Man Jiang and Lu Xiaoqi just smiled and didn't say much.

The clan leaders around heard Zhu Yuanhan's voice, and they all looked at him and whispered to each other.

"A fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. The Zhu family is no longer the bright and glorious Zhu family it once was."

"Why do you have to come over? The Zhu family shouldn't have come. Are you still thinking of turning the tables?"

"That's great, I've lost face..."

There are sighs, disdain, pity, etc. In short, many people are lamenting the changing times and how things and people are no longer the same.

Once upon a time, the Minghuang Zhu family was the leader of the family, but now they don’t even have the qualifications to sit there, which really makes people feel desolate.

"There is a chair here. If you don't mind, nephew Zhu, you can sit on it." Old man Jiang pulled out the chair next to him with a kind face.

Seeing his action, Sun Jingshan, the head of the Sun family, was puzzled, Xiang Zhenhai, the head of the Xiang family, showed surprise in his eyes, and Lu Xiaoqi, the head of the Lu family, turned his head away.

What does this mean?

Some people don’t understand, many people don’t understand.

"I won't sit here anymore, as I don't want to disturb everyone's fun." Zhu Yuanhan declined politely, "I can just find a place to sit later, haha."

Very self-aware, that's what many people think.

No matter how glorious the Zhu family was, that was in the past. They are indeed not qualified to sit here now.

Just at this moment, Jinju came over.

"Deputy Director Jin!"

"Deputy Director Jin!"

“…”

Wherever they passed, the clan leaders greeted them.

Jinju just nodded and walked straight to Zhu Yuanhan.

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Lei asked you to come over and take a seat, and asked me to apologize for not being able to greet you in person. I'm really sorry."

The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"You're welcome, Mr. Lei," said Zhu Yuanhan.

"Mr. Lei has already prepared wine in the house to welcome you. Please come this way—"

"Okay, Deputy Director Lao Jin will lead the way."

“…”

The surroundings fell silent in an instant, with expressions of disbelief: Mr. Lei sent Deputy Director Jin to invite us in person?

Yes, it was Lei Zhen who asked Jin Ju to come and invite him personally, and they were in his room, with the wine already served, just waiting for Zhu Yuanhan to come over.

Hundreds of families, big and small, came, but no one got to see Lei Zhen, not even Old Man Jiang. However, Mr. Lei invited Zhu Yuanhan over.

This is a bit too much information!

Few people knew about Lei Zhen's relationship with the Zhu family, only a handful of people. Old Man Jiang knew about it, and Lu Xiaoqi also knew about it, but others didn't know.

"What do you mean?" Sun Jingshan frowned. "Brother Jiang, what exactly does Mr. Lei mean by this? He left us here alone and summoned the Zhu family."

"It's not a summons, it's an invitation." Lu Xiaoqi said calmly, "Why do you think the Zhu family is here? Do you know who the Hongyu Zhu Yuanhan is talking about?"

"Who is it?" Sun Jingshan asked.

"The biological mother of the only prince of the Lei family." Lu Xiaoqi said.

Sun Jingshan was stunned. Only then did he understand why Lei Zhen invited Zhu Yuanhan over alone. It turned out that they had this kind of relationship, and it was a very close one.

If you calculate it this way, the head of the Zhu family is the great-grandfather of the prince of the Lei family, and he is also the great-grandfather of his relative, while Zhu Yuanhan is his uncle.

Wait, why didn't anyone tell me?

At this moment, Sun Jingshan felt like a clown, and anger rose in his heart. After all, Old Man Jiang and Lu Xiaoqi knew about this matter, but did not tell him.

"Brother Sun, we just found out about this too." Old Man Jiang said softly, "This memorial service for Patriarch Guo is secondary..."

The memorial service is indeed not important, after all, the person is dead.

With so many families coming, it was essentially a large-scale gathering of clan leaders, but since the Zhu family, who were not supposed to come, came, something subtle was bound to happen.
