Chapter 84: Saving his wife with all his might, his identity revealed (4)
In the huge banquet hall, one could hear a pin drop, and no one dared to breathe.
Shen Jinxiao walked quickly along the red carpet from the entrance of the hall, like a sharp blade hovering over the entire banquet hall. As his steps approached, the blade flashed with cold light, splitting the entire banquet hall in half, bringing up a hurricane and heading straight for Shen Ermei's face.
Shen Ermei and her youngest son Qin Xiaohai were frightened by the inexplicably furious look of Shen Jinxiao who suddenly broke in, and subconsciously stood shoulder to shoulder and leaned on each other.
After all, Qin Yaozu, who had seen a lot of storms, saw that the visitor had a wrong attitude and even ruined his banquet, but because of the status of his brother-in-law, he still greeted him with a smile.
"Jin Xiao, you're so lucky to be here. Our Qin family is really poor..."
He stretched out his hand, and before he could finish his words, he saw Shen Jinxiao walked straight past him, rushed to Shen Ermei, and in front of all the guests present, he raised his hand and slapped Qin Xiaohai hard.
Everyone was shocked!
One palm down.
Qin Xiaohai's mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting. Some people could even see a tooth flying out of his mouth. The corners of his lips were stretched apart and blood was flowing from the corners of his lips.
"Uncle...Uncle?"
Qin Xiaohai covered his face, which was numb from the pain, and opened his eyes wide.
He didn't understand why this uncle, who was usually indifferent and aloof to everything, would suddenly beat him, his insignificant nephew.
Everyone was stunned, staring at Shen Jinxiao who suddenly appeared and beat people with astonishment in their eyes.
Shen Ermei went crazy and exploded completely, “Shen Jinxiao, you lunatic, why did you hit my son?”
She raised her fist and hit Shen Jinxiao without caring about anything, but was held tightly by Qin Yaozu, who had a horrified and unprovoked expression on his face. He was afraid that his wife would do something wrong and make this big Buddha of the Shen family angry again.
Meng Shuyue, who was standing dumbfounded, was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word before he could even reach out to touch the burning and painful slap mark on his face.
Meng Shuyue came to her senses belatedly and realized that her husband had come to support her.
But these people are not the ones this guy can mess with.
She hurried forward to pull Shen Jinxiao, and comforted him softly, “Don’t be angry, I’m fine!”
However, when Shen Jinxiao's eyes touched the red and swollen half of her face, his scarlet peach blossom eyes became even redder and bloodshot.
He pulled the chair behind Qin Xiaohai and for the first time softly ordered her, "Go sit down!"
Meng Shuyue seemed to have returned to the school of his childhood, and the natural fear of being dominated by the teacher came back.
She subconsciously said "Oh" and sat down on the chair obediently.
Everyone around was puzzled by the inexplicable interaction between the two. The man who had just relaxed his expression towards the little woman suddenly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms with bulging veins. He grabbed Qin Xiaohai by the back of the collar and pressed his head against the book on the table.
Shen Jinxiao held the man's head with one hand and pointed at Meng Shuyue with the other hand and said, "Just now your mother said that she had no right to pour wine on your head. Now I will tell you what qualifications she has!"
"Turn to page 19 of your Qin family tree and see clearly what you should call me in this family? What should you call my wife?"
Shen Jinxiao's words were heard by the relatives and friends around him in shock.
Only then did he realize that the book as big as a newspaper on the table was actually a copper Qin family genealogy placed at the entrance of the hall to show the Qin family's wealth.
Normally, their relatives and friends would have to work hard to open a page of the family tree, but Shen Jinxiao just picked up such a large copper book and threw it over from such a distance.
The thought was horrifying. All the guests touched their intact heads and felt lucky that they had not had their heads smashed off for watching the fun.
But Qin Xiaohai was already frightened by this scene. He put his hands together and pressed them against the family tree, begging for mercy, "Uncle, I was wrong. Please let me go. I will no longer speak ill of your Shen family."
He didn't react until now. Perhaps he was angry because he had just insulted his cousin Song Shijing's former woman and made him lose face.
Qin Yaozu, who came to his senses belatedly, also thought of this reason and hurriedly spoke kindly to persuade him, "Jin Xiao, don't be angry. It's just a fight between the younger generation. As elders, we can just scold them a few words. There's no need to make such a big fuss..."
But Shen Ermei couldn't listen any longer, and she interrupted her husband and said fiercely, "Jin Xiao, you made a scene at our full moon banquet today just for a woman who is not from your Shen family, and you made me lose face. I tell you, this time I must tell my uncle and let him do justice!"
Qin Yaozu was overwhelmed. He quickly covered his wife's mouth and begged her in a low voice, "Just shut up!"
You know, although their business circle has no intersection with Shen Jinxiao's circle, it is indeed because of this relationship with Shen Jinxiao that his Qin family has been able to go smoothly over the years and not be retaliated by the rival family.
If the Qin family were to fall out with Shen Jinxiao, it would be like losing an invisible safety barrier, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Shen Jinxiao sneered when he heard what Shen Ermei said, "Second sister, are you trying to use your status as an elder to pressure me? Well, don't blame me for using my status as an elder to pressure you later!"
"What?"
Second Sister Shen still didn’t understand what Shen Jinxiao meant by that, and stood there in a daze.
Qin Yaozu seemed to remember something and wanted to rush forward to stop it.
But Shen Jinxiao stopped him with his hand. He shouted to Qin Xiaohai under his hand, "Turn to page 19! Read it out loud!"
It was like a military order coming down fiercely. Qin Xiaohai, who was lying on the table, opened the nineteenth page of "Qin Family Tree" with trembling hands.
Qin Xiaohai looked at the words carved on the copper page and read them aloud with a trembling voice as if they were catchy.
"The nineteenth head of the Qin family, Qin Zhuoyu, courtesy name Ming, originally named Shenyang Yuan, was born in Zhongdu. He is the illegitimate son of Shen Peishu, the envoy of the Xuanzhengyuan. In the second year after his birth, he was adopted by the Qin family, the mother's family of Shen Peishu's legal wife, to continue his bloodline..."
When Qin Xiaohai reached this point, his voice got stuck and he couldn't continue.
Because everyone present was either from the Qin family or a relative of the Shen family.
As soon as the Shen family heard the name Shen Peishu in the family tree, they all knew him.
Because that was the highest-ranking official in their family tree.
They didn't expect that, counting back dozens of generations, their Shen family was actually the orthodox bloodline of the Qin family.
The nineteenth generation head of their Qin family was actually their adopted illegitimate son from the Shen family.
Even though the Qin family members present had never seen the Shen family's genealogy, they had all heard of this high-ranking official who was the ancestor of the Shen family.
Hearing this, the faces of the Qin family members present turned pale, while the Shen family members straightened their backs unconsciously.
Because according to the generational level, the Shen family's Jin generation, even the later Shi generation, is three or four generations higher than the current Qin Yaozu's Yao generation.
This world is indeed a circle. If you count up the family tree, someone can be your uncle or your great-uncle.
At this moment, what else did Shen Ermei and Qin Yaozu not understand?
It felt as if I was slapped several times on the spot.
Shen Jinxiao knew the connection between the two family trees, which meant that Shen Ting also knew it.
No wonder Shen Ting refused to marry Qin Yaozu.
It doesn't matter even if they are married several dozen generations apart, but it still feels awkward.
