However, before arriving at the hotel, one of the guests had already prepared himself mentally to have a vegetarian lunch.
But the moment the wine waiter brought the first expensive meat dish and placed it on the table, the whole thing went wrong.
Suddenly, everyone was like seeing a ghost. Their eyes widened as they watched delicious dishes being placed in front of them one after another.
After a short while, more than a dozen delicious dishes were served on the table, which surprised everyone.
But this is not the end. Immediately afterwards, just when everyone was still in shock, the most shocking scene appeared again.
"hiss--"
Suddenly, sounds of people gasping in disbelief rang out in the lobby.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their mind, which was that they were not seeing things wrong, were they sure that no one was seeing things wrong?
What is placed in front of them is the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is in limited supply at the Imperial Hotel and is sold at a very high price, right?
Right?
The last dish is seafood soup, which is filled with rare and precious sea cucumbers.
Looking at this incredible scene before their eyes, to be honest, everyone was extremely shocked, and there was also a hint of obvious doubt in their eyes.
Because in everyone's impression, every wedding banquet held by the Zheng family in recent years has been simple and plain, and even the meat dishes are only the simplest three or four.
It's never been like this time, there were twelve dishes of pickled mustard greens alone.
Another thing is that none of these dishes are cheap. Every dish is of high quality and ridiculously expensive.
To put it bluntly, few ordinary people can afford to eat these dishes today.
Especially the seafood soup and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, many officials of high status and good family background had only eaten them two or three times in their lives.
Therefore, seeing this situation, many people were unsure of the Zheng family's thoughts, nor did they understand why Jun Jinmo and his wife suddenly became so high-profile.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, Jun Jinmo and Shen Yao, the young couple, had been more low-key than anyone else before.
Even when they won glory for the country, they were never seen being interviewed by newspaper reporters or being hailed by the public.
In an instant, all the guests looked towards the tables where the Zheng family members were sitting in amazement.
However, everyone saw that Mr. Zheng seemed not to feel their shock and doubts. At this time, he was chatting happily with several other old men with a smile on his face.
Seeing the happy and harmonious scene, everyone suddenly became more confused.
"Dude, do you know what's going on?"
"You ask me, who else can I ask?"
"It's really strange. Two years ago, Song Qingyuan of the Song family, Tang Yunhao of the Tang family, and the wedding of Mr. Zheng's granddaughter at the end of last year, all the banquets were extremely simple. But this time, I don't know why it suddenly became so grand."
"Who says it's not true? I remember that the granddaughters-in-law of the Zheng family gave birth to eight boys in a row in the past two years, but not once did they hold a big banquet for Mr. Zheng."
"Well, when you mentioned this, I immediately remembered that when Tang Yunxin, the eldest grandson's wife of the Zheng family, gave birth to the first great-grandson of the Zheng family, Mr. Zheng didn't show any expression, right?"
"You may have forgotten one thing. In the entire Imperial Capital, anyone who is powerful and well-connected to the Zheng family knows that Mr. Zheng loves his precious granddaughter dearly!"
"Speaking of which, Shen Yao is lucky. She first caught the eye of Mr. Zheng and was adopted as his granddaughter. Later, she was adopted as a concubine by Mr. and Mrs. Zheng Rongli. Then, she was lucky enough to meet a rare person like Jun Jinmo, who has both status and power."
"Who made her look as beautiful as a flower, like a fairy? Even if we feel jealous, what's the point? Who made us not have a beautiful girl like Shen Yao in our family?
Moreover, didn’t you hear what Mr. Zheng said? His granddaughter completed the four-year university course in just two years and graduated from Haishi Fuda.”
"I don't think so. Those things were all said by Mr. Zheng alone. But who knows whether there is cat poop in it?"
In an instant, all the guests in the hotel lobby, regardless of gender, age or status, turned into sour lemons. And they were unripe green lemons, with an extremely sour smell all over them.
Especially those women who have not yet found a partner, or even those who are married but whose husbands have bad tempers, their mouths are not only full of bitterness, but also full of jealousy in their eyes.
There were even some women with impure thoughts who, when they saw that Jun Jinmo's eyes reflected Shen Yao's figure and his gaze always followed her movements, became so jealous that their faces became distorted.
Because of these people, they not only envied Shen Yao, who was also a woman, but also wondered why she was so lucky to meet a man with a good family background and a perfect man who doted on his wife to the bone.
Even when she gave birth, she could actually give birth to two pairs of dragon and phoenix twins at once, which made her position in Jun Jinmo's heart even more stable.
So, how could they not be jealous when they saw Shen Yao living the wonderful life that every woman wanted to have?
When Shen Yao heard the discussions of the crowd and sensed some resentful and jealous looks through her own senses, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
She suddenly turned her head and showed an extremely happy, elegant and decent smile to the women who were staring at her as if they wanted to stare a big hole in her back.
Looking at their sudden facial expressions, a face changing back and forth like a colorful palette, Shen Yao immediately turned her head back.
Frankly speaking, she didn't take these people's opinions seriously at all. After all, she was not RMB, and she couldn't please everyone.
Moreover, if she really cared too much about the thoughts and opinions of others, she would be exhausted or angry to death all day long.
Besides, some women just say that grapes are sour because they can't eat them. And because their own marriage is unhappy or they are not married well, they can't bear to see others live a good life.
Yun Wei couldn't help but let out a sigh when she heard those words.
She leaned her upper body slightly towards Shen Yao and whispered in her ear, "Yaoyao, I didn't expect that people from our inland areas also like gossip so much. I always thought that people from Hong Kong love to compare with each other, like to show off their wealth and compare their family backgrounds, and like to compete to see who marries well and lives a good life. But this time when I came back to China, I found this kind of situation. It seems that no matter where you go, it exists the same."
She and her older brother started living in Hong Kong with their parents when they were very young, so they don’t know much about the situation in the mainland.
This time, Jun Lei said he would come back to attend the full-month banquet for several little babies. She was happy for a long time, thinking that she could finally go back to her country to have a look.
Who would have thought that I would hear such an interesting thing just after returning?
