Teng Jie listened to Teng Chao's scolding and felt that the people around him were looking at him with mockery, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Li Yilin, who was standing next to him, keenly noticed that Teng Jie was in a bad mood. She was worried that this young master who was arrogant and didn't know his identity would really be disrespectful to the second young master Teng and the young master Sui, so she quickly pulled the corner of his clothes and reminded him in a low voice.
"Don't be impulsive. We are all staying at the Teng family. If we really offend Young Master Teng, we will both be kicked out!"
Li Yilin had been staying at the Teng family for a year, and she realized her own identity earlier than Teng Jie.
Teng Jie could still say that he was living in his uncle's house, but she was living with him as Teng Jie's fiancée, so their relationship was more distant. She could only flatter these legitimate sons and daughters of the Teng family and dared not offend them at all.
Li Yilin accepted her freeloader status well, but Teng Chao did not think so.
We all have the surname Teng, why should we bow down to this loser!
Li Yilin's words of persuasion not only failed to extinguish Teng Jie's inner anger, but instead directly ignited him.
"Teng Chao, could you please stop being such a coward! We just offended a young lady from the Sui family? Are you really going to scold us in public?! Could it be that the Sui family is actually going to break off relations with our Teng family just for a young lady?"
"The Sui family is fine, but Zhang Wenyu is just some upstart from City R. How could you be afraid of her? Our Teng family is one of the top families in City B, and yet you're praising a country bumpkin from a small family. Where is our Teng family's reputation? What will those outsiders think of us?!"
Not only was Teng Chao stunned by Teng Jie's words, but the other onlookers were also dumbfounded.
Is this guy a fool?
Where on earth did he get the confidence to think that the Teng family could be compared to the Sui family?!
Although the Teng family is also a wealthy family in City B, it is just a newly developed merchant family, which is far inferior to the top Chinese families like the Sui family.
The Teng family's company has developed well in recent years, and it's all because the Second Young Master Teng and Young Master Sui have become close!
The Sui family is low-key only because of their style of doing things and the special attributes of their family, not because their family is not strong enough.
If the head of the Teng family heard what this fool said today, he would probably be furious to death.
I don’t know if the head of the Teng family will be angry to death, but Teng Chao is almost angry to death.
"Are you crazy?! Our two families are five generations apart! Even looking through the family tree would take ages to find you. You're just a distant relative living in my house. How can you have the nerve to represent the Teng family in City B?!"
Teng Chao hurriedly distanced himself from Teng Jie and stated in front of everyone that Teng Jie was just a guest staying in his house and his words could not represent their Teng family.
When Teng Jie heard what Teng Chao said, he was so angry at his cowardly appearance that he pointed at Teng Chao and cursed him.
"What do you mean? You can't write two Tengs with one stroke. My last name is Teng too, so how can I be a guest living in the Teng family?! Fifth Uncle told me to treat this place as my own home. We are all brothers. You are afraid of offending outsiders and you don't even recognize your own brothers. How can there be a loser like you in the Teng family?!"
Teng Chao looked at Teng Jie in disbelief, and laughed in anger.
"My fifth uncle was just being polite, but you're so ignorant that you really think you're the master of the Teng family?!"
The people around saw that Li Yilin's face was burning, and she reached out to grab Teng Jie's arm.
"Let's go now, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Teng Jie stood there without moving.
If I just leave like this, wouldn't it mean that I'm afraid of Teng Chao and Zhang Wenyu?
Teng Jie refused to listen to Li Yilin and looked at Zhang Wenyu with a cold gaze.
"This person who broke into the party hasn't left yet. Why should I, who came in openly with an invitation, leave?"
As he said this, he took out his invitation and showed it to everyone.
Zhang Wenyu looked at Teng Jie calmly, as if he was just being unreasonable.
The people around did not ask Zhang Wenyu to hand over the invitation to prove her identity as Teng Jie had expected.
The people who came with Teng Chao and Sui Ning were all young masters from major families who usually played together. Previously, they heard people in the banquet hall talking about how Boss Zhang and Miss Sui from S City had just chatted with Boss Zhang and then left together. Now seeing Assistant Yang standing behind Zhang Wenyu, they could naturally guess that she was the Boss Zhang from S City.
They had long known that the Chamber of Commerce had specially invited Mr. Zhang from S City this time, so they naturally would not be foolish enough to ask Ms. Zhang, who was endorsed by both Assistant Yang and the eldest daughter of the Sui family, to prove her identity.
So he still looked like he was watching a show, looking at the furious Teng Jie.
Teng Chao reached out and took the invitation that Teng Jie was holding up, opened it and looked at it, then closed it but did not return it. He looked up at Teng Jie and said with a frown.
"This is the invitation from the Chamber of Commerce to my fifth uncle. When did it become yours?"
Teng Jie stared into Teng Chao's eyes and said coldly.
"This is from my fifth uncle. He's out of town and can't make it back, so he gave me the invitation and asked me to visit a boss who's attending the banquet on his behalf. Teng Chao, you're kicking me out now, preventing me from completing my fifth uncle's mission. Aren't you afraid that he'll be angry when he comes back?"
Teng Chao glanced at Teng Jie coldly and said expressionlessly.
"My Fifth Uncle asked you to come and look for someone, but you completely offended the person he was looking for. Do you think he will still protect you when he comes back?"
Teng Jie blurted out.
"Stop slandering me! When did I ever offend the person Uncle Wu was looking for?!"
Teng Jie felt so wronged. How could he have offended the other party when he hadn't even seen him?
Previously, his fifth uncle suspected that the other party had gone to R City, so he called him overnight and asked him to help find him when he happened to return to R City. He accepted this important task and wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of the Teng family. As a result, his whole family searched for the person outside for several days but couldn't find him.
I finally got some information that the West City Project had investment from a businessman from S City, but in the end I found out it was the nouveau riche Zhang Wenyu.
They searched for a long time in City R, but then heard that Boss Zhang had already come to City B. After returning to City B, although Uncle Wu didn't say anything, he didn't give him any other important tasks.
This time, my fifth uncle had to fly abroad for an urgent matter and could not attend the Chamber of Commerce activities. However, he heard that Boss Zhang from City S, whom he had always wanted to find, would come to attend, so he asked someone to send the invitation to me and asked me to contact Boss Zhang first, and preferably find out his next move.
After receiving the task, Teng Jie prepared to attend the banquet, but Li Yilin dawdled, causing him to be late.
Teng Jie complained in his heart.
Boss Zhang is really something. He left as soon as the party started, causing him to fail to complete the task assigned by his fifth uncle. He doesn't know if his fifth uncle will blame him when he comes back this time.
