These were the villagers' true thoughts, but no one dared to speak up. These leaders could boast about seeing just one of them for ages, but having seen them all at once, they felt no pride whatsoever; they were all completely immersed in shock…
"It's just his daughter's engagement, why did the Wang family head call so many people?"
Wang Wei's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present...
These provincial and municipal leaders, who were trying to curry favor with Wang Yunting, were taken aback when they heard that it was Wang Yunting's daughter's engagement. They thought to themselves, "No one told us before we came, and we didn't even prepare any red envelopes. What are we going to do now?"
Wang Yunting wanted to explain, but Wang Wei came to his side and whispered...
"Father-in-law, you wouldn't object to what I'm saying at this time, would you? If you do this, Yin Chen will be heartbroken..."
Wang Yunting glared at Wang Wei. He knew, of course, that Wang Wei was setting a trap for him. Now was the perfect time to acknowledge his daughter. If he denied their relationship, it would only provoke Wang Yinchen's resentment. But if he didn't object, it would be tantamount to tacitly acknowledging their engagement in front of so many people. Even if he really wanted to find Wang Yinchen a new husband in the future, he would have to consider the impact this would have on the Wang family...
Wang Wei wanted to confirm the engagement in front of everyone...
After figuring all this out, Wang Yunting finally raised his head and said...
"Haha... Don't misunderstand, everyone. The reason I called so many people here is simply to give my daughter some extra attention. Today is my daughter's engagement day, and naturally, the more people who know, the better..."
I was being a little cunning, afraid my in-laws would look down on my daughter. With these people attending the engagement party, I believe Xiaowei should understand that Yinchen's family has connections too...
These soldiers were also brought here by me to protect everyone's safety, to ensure everyone eats and drinks well, and is not disturbed by outsiders..."
Wang Yunting spoke politely and respectfully, and everyone nodded silently, feeling that as a father, he hadn't done anything wrong...
It just terrified the villagers who had never seen anything like it before…
The moment Wang Wei and the village secretary locked eyes, he helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he wasn't lying; these soldiers were there to protect them, and he said that made perfect sense…
The villagers were still in shock; everything that had happened today felt like a dream to them, so unreal…
Their emotions were like a rollercoaster ride, going up and down, making their hearts pound so hard they felt like they were going to jump out of their chests...
"I told you Xiaowei was doing well, but you didn't believe me. See? It proves I was right..."
Hearing Aunt Pang's words, everyone's tense expressions relaxed a little, but they couldn't help but roll their eyes at her, thinking to themselves, "You've been the one mocking Wang Wei the whole time, but none of us have ever doubted him..."
However, no one called her out on it, and as everyone relaxed, the engagement party became lively again...
"Uncle Wang, as you can see, there doesn't seem to be enough room for so many people. I didn't expect you to invite so many people all at once. It looks like the banquet won't be enough to feed everyone. I think it would be better if these people just gave a gift, and I'll treat everyone to a meal later when I have more time. What do you think? I hope it won't be too much trouble for you."
Upon hearing Wang Wei's words, the provincial and municipal leaders looked as if they had swallowed a fly, their faces turning ugly...
I thought to myself, "You're a real dog! You make us give gifts, but you won't even let us eat. Is this something a human being would do?"
"You'll treat us to a meal later? Are you kidding me? If you want to get our money back, just say so. We're not short of a meal; you're practically humiliating us..."
And could you be any more outrageous? You had the nerve to say things like asking us to give gifts, and most importantly, you kicked us out after we gave our gifts. Is this something a human being would do?
Wang Yunting's lips twitched as well. He knew that Wang Wei was trying to sow discord between him and these people. After all, he was the one who invited them, and even if they were angry, they would come at him...
"All right…"
Wang Yunting had no choice; he had offended Wang Wei, so he could only reluctantly agree…
To think that he, the head of one of the nine branches of the Wang family, had suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of Wang Wei…
"Uncle Wang, are there any places holding state funerals recently?"
Before Wang Yunting could recover, Wang Wei asked a completely nonsensical question…
A state funeral?
Wang Yunting was completely bewildered, not knowing what Wang Wei meant by asking that question. Did he want to kill the head of state?
He asked subconsciously
"What...what...do you want to do?"
Wang Wei quickly explained.
"It's nothing, I'm just hungry and want to get a free meal..."
Holy crap…
His words shocked everyone around him. To freeload at a state funeral? Who gave you the audacity? His thought process was so bizarre that no one could believe it…
Looking at the banquet in front of him, Wang Yunting thought to himself, "Are these models on the table? There's so much food and you're not eating it? You're telling me you're going to freeload at a state funeral? Are you crazy, or am I?"
Wang Yinchen was used to it, because the two of them first met at a dinner table, and afterwards they even ate at the school beauty's wedding. Their romance began at that dinner...
Moreover, Wang Wei dares to freeload at state banquets, so it's not surprising that he's now asking to freeload at a state funeral...
Do I look like an idiot to you?
Wang Yunting retorted angrily, thinking to himself, "You've gone too far, kid. You dare to say anything..."
"Xiaowei, what nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to your future father-in-law right now..."
Wang Qiang glared angrily at Wang Wei, feeling that his son was being incredibly inconsiderate. His future father-in-law was clearly not a simple man, so how could he ask such a rude and impolite question?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Wei knew he wouldn't get any information out of them. Since that was the case, he could only give up and quietly finish his meal...
The provincial and municipal leaders were also helpless; there simply wasn't enough room for so many people to sit, so they could only stand aside and wait for everyone to finish eating…
This was probably the best, and also the most nerve-wracking, meal the villagers of Dawang Village had ever eaten...
Military, special police, armed police, provincial and municipal leaders…
These people, who had always been unapproachable in the eyes of the villagers, were now relegated to mere accompaniments, standing there watching them feast…
Some people even felt a surge of pride, and when they looked at Wang Wei again, their eyes held a hint of shared honor...
If we're talking about truly happy people, perhaps only Wang Wei's parents and Wang Yinchen are truly happy; everyone else is more or less reserved...
Wang Qiang and Zhou Cui were constantly talking, toasting each table with good wine and food, and urging the villagers to eat and drink well. He had never been so proud in his life...
