Feng Xueru cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect Jingze to be my uncle's adopted son. Actually, I'm a little older than Jingze. Does that mean I'm Jingze's cousin?"
Liu Jingze lowered his eyes slightly. As a respectable man who had seen the world, he would not show his emotions on his face easily. But how could he hide it from his godfather who had always been close to him?
Liu Zhaosheng was calm and cold, almost unkind, and said bluntly, "Jingze is my godson, there's no doubt about that. You can call him Mr. Liu or Mr. Jing. Jingze's cousins are all in the Ren family."
Feng Xueru had truly made a fool of himself, having been humiliated in front of everyone. He was extremely embarrassed and had no way out. Liu Zhaosheng's attitude towards Liu Jingze and Feng Xueru was obviously different, and everyone in the business world, who had seen all kinds of things, had some comments in their minds.
Tam Lok Him said: "I've known Jingze for four years and I didn't know he had a godfather. Mr. Liu is so lucky. Jingze is so handsome and capable. I feel so lucky to have met him."
Liu Zhaosheng said with interest: "Oh, you are Jingze's friend. It seems that there are other people here who know Jingze?"
Zheng Ziyang said, "I'm Jingze's good friend. My name is Zheng Ziyang. He asked me to be his best man at his wedding."
Xu Liangming said, "I'm Jingze's good friend. My name is Xu Liangming. I'll also go to pick up the bride."
He Hubin said, "I'm Jingze's good friend. My name is He Hubin. I'll also be there to pick up the bride."
Huang Jiekang said, "Mr. Liu, Xueru is my brother-in-law, as you know. I'm actually a good friend of Jingze, too. Many people doing business in this town know Uncle Liu and Jingze. Mr. Liu, I heard you're going to build the city's largest logistics park in Yanpu Town?"
When Liu Zhaosheng mentioned this, he was a little unhappy. "It's not the largest in the city. The people from the town's investment promotion office said that based on the investment amount and the approximate land area, they probably can't get more land. It's only a little over 100 acres. We have to go to the neighboring town of Yanfu first to check."
More than 100 acres of land is not a small amount, especially in a small rural town in a second-tier city. Seeing Liu Zhaosheng's light words, everyone was thinking deeply, but their expressions did not show it.
Several waiters brought out the snacks and dishes one by one. The table could seat 20 people, and the tabletop was wide enough to be filled with snacks and dishes.
Huang Maozheng said, "Mr. Liu, let's start eating. This restaurant's morning tea is the most famous in town, and the dim sum and dishes are all excellent."
Liu Zhaosheng said: "I've eaten it before, it's really good."
Liu Zhaosheng picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into Liu Jingze's bowl. Liu Jingze ate it calmly. Feng Xueru, who was sitting next to Liu Zhaosheng, felt strange watching all this, and a little unwilling and sad. If Liu Zhaosheng picked up some food for him, he would be flattered. If it weren't for Liu Zhaosheng's nephew status, he couldn't sit in this seat. He should sit below the Huang father and son.
Liu Liangjie picked up a piece of pork ribs for Su Tiantian and said, "Tiantian, eat it. Jingze can't take care of you today."
Zheng Ziyang also picked up a piece of pork ribs for Su Tiantian and said, "Sister-in-law, eat whatever you like. It hurts to leave Jingze hungry."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "You guys are acting like I'm deliberately separating them. Sister Tiantian, please don't be offended. Let your brother Jing be with me today, and he'll accompany you tomorrow."
Liu Jingze said, "Godfather, please stop making fun of me and Tiantian. Also, can you please stop calling her Tiantian's sister?"
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Can't I call you? I want to call you. I'm the elder, so I can call you."
Liu Jingze slowly took off his suit jacket, and the young man behind Liu Zhaosheng quickly took it. He then rolled up the cuffs of his dark blue shirt and finally unbuttoned the top two buttons. He picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl of Jidi porridge from the clay pot. He used the spoon to pick out the pieces of pig intestines from the porridge and put them in his own bowl. Then he placed the porridge in front of Liu Zhaosheng with both hands and said, "Godfather, please eat the porridge."
Su Tiantian had been watching Liu Jingze's actions and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhao still refuses to eat pig intestines like before?"
Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian, you have to call me godfather."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "You can call me Uncle Zhao, since I haven't paid you yet. I'll call you godfather after I pay you. Tiantian, what wedding gift do you want? A house? A car? Jewelry? Anything is fine. Tell me and Uncle Zhao will buy it for you."
Faced with such temptation, Su Tiantian was not tempted. "Dad has prepared a house. Today he transferred two houses to me and Brother Jing, and another one will be transferred next month. As for cars, Brother Jing has three. I don't know how to drive, so I don't need to buy one. As for jewelry, Brother Jing said you might prepare gold jewelry."
Liu Zhaosheng felt a little strange and said, "Jingze, did I tell you to prepare gold and other valuables? Didn't I only ask you if you wanted a house or a car?"
Liu Liangjie picked up a piece of radish cake and placed it in the bowl, saying, "According to our local customs, on the wedding day, the bride and groom should offer tea to the elders, and the elders should give red envelopes, and some also give gold items. Jingze's grandmother said that she and I should prepare a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets for each of them, so you don't have to prepare any."
Liu Zhaosheng was angry: "What do you mean I don't have to prepare anything? If you buy a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, I'll buy a pair too. I'll give you as much as you prepare for the red envelope."
Xu Liangming said, "Mr. Liu, if you want to buy a dragon and phoenix bracelet, you can come to me. My name is Xu Liangming, and I'm Jingze's good friend. My family runs a jewelry store. Jingze's brother-in-law just bought a gold bracelet from me a few days ago as a gift for his girlfriend. He also said that he would buy a gold bracelet for your adopted daughter-in-law as a dowry in a while."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Liangming, right? I'll find you when I want to buy it."
