Chapter 116 My Wife is a Coward
About half an hour later, most of the guests had arrived.
The surrounding tables gradually filled up, but perhaps because Zhang Mo and Jiu Xuan had such a strong presence, no one dared to come over and sit down.
Even after the cold dishes were served, there were still only the four of them at the table.
That's fine, anyway, Xiaotao can finish it.
As the cold dishes were served, the host of the full moon banquet also took the stage to liven up the atmosphere.
After performing a small magic trick and giving away a few small dolls, the family of three, the main characters of the day, were invited onto the stage amidst laughter and cheers.
When Zhang Mo looked at him, Cheng Hu was indeed the "Tiger Brother" she had seen in the video.
Today, however, he was dressed exceptionally well, his muscles hidden behind his suit, making him look like a successful person at first glance.
His wife is petite, only 155 cm tall, and she held the child with a gentle expression, looking very quiet.
They look like a happy family of three.
After taking the stage, Cheng Hu kept talking about how hard his wife had worked, how severe her vomiting was during her pregnancy. While other pregnant women gained weight, she only lost weight.
He even cried when he got emotional, swearing to the heavens that he would never let his wife down and would always love her well.
They received a chorus of good-natured laughter and applause.
Yu Hui turned to Zhang Mo and said, "This man has a lucky face, but he's the kind of person who's lucky even when he's a fool."
Zhang Mo was a little surprised.
Of course, she acknowledged that he was foolish. Indeed, the first time she saw him, she thought he didn't seem very bright.
Zhang Mo: Are you sure?
Yu Hui casually refilled Xiao Tao's coconut milk cup: "I'm absolutely sure."
At this moment, Jiu Xuan also picked up the glass of wine in front of her and drank it all in one gulp. A faint pink blush gradually rose to her originally fair cheeks. This blush perfectly adorned her delicate face, making her look even more charming and beautiful, like a delicate flower blooming in the night.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, gently licked her lips, and said softly, "And what he just said about loving his wife is true. He's a very devoted man when it comes to relationships."
Zhang Mo: "......"
The characters' traits are so disjointed, as if they were forcibly pieced together by AI.
It seems there's more to this story than meets the eye.
As the dishes were served one by one, Zhang Mo estimated that the standard for this banquet was at least over 8,000.
The bill comes to 10,000 with drinks, and there are a total of 60 tables in the banquet hall.
This means that the full moon celebration alone will cost more than 600,000 yuan.
That's great. If a full moon celebration can cost this much, I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult for them to come up with ten or twenty million.
Once a fruit platter is served, signifying that all the dishes have been served, it's time for the toasting ceremony.
Cheng Hu and his family of three started by toasting from the first row and soon arrived at their table.
When Cheng Hu saw Zhang Mo and Jiu Xuan, he was clearly taken aback. He clearly remembered that these two pretty girls were not among his business partners.
He glanced blankly at his wife, assuming it was someone she knew from work.
His wife happened to be looking down at the child and didn't notice.
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "President Cheng may not have met us before. We are from President Dong's side."
The moment the words "President Dong" were uttered, Cheng Hu's face turned pale, clearly indicating that he understood.
But he still tried his best to remain calm: "I see, then you are truly a distinguished guest."
Zhang Mo's expression was both businesslike and courteous: "President Dong has an urgent project worth 10 million, and I believe President Cheng is already aware of it. Time is of the essence, so would it be convenient for us to discuss it privately?"
His wife finally looked up and asked, puzzled, "Now?"
Cheng Hu immediately said, his tone hurried as if afraid of being interrupted: "This project is indeed quite urgent. I'll go and talk to them. As for the later guests, perhaps we shouldn't toast them. You've had a long day, go and rest."
His wife hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"
"It's alright, it's alright, you go and rest first, I'll come find you in a bit." He then casually called over a relative from the side and insisted on taking his wife to the back to rest.
When he turned to look at Zhang Mo again, he was already covered in sweat.
Cheng Hu: "Come on, everyone, this way please." He gestured for people to go, his arm trembling slightly with nervousness.
.
Inside the private room, Cheng Hu, Huang Mao, and Hong Mao were kneeling neatly in front of Zhang Mo again. (Why did I say "again"?)
The three demons stood behind Zhang Mo, happily eating melon seeds.
Cheng Hu tearfully recounted, "Xiang Sinian is a distant relative of mine. During that time, I couldn't find a job, so my mother asked him to help me find one."
He offered me a job at his company, but since I didn't have the necessary qualifications, he even made fake documents for me.
I was very grateful to him at the time, but much later I found out that he just wanted to use me to occupy that position and embezzle the branch company's assets.
I really didn't do anything wrong; I just received a salary without working for a few years!
Moreover, I don't receive much. My salary card is in Xiang Sinian's hands, and he transfers 3,000 yuan to me via WeChat every month!
I've barely been to that company. That 10 million was transferred by him personally; it has nothing to do with me!
When I found out about the amount of money, I was terrified!
After that, I didn't even dare to take 3,000 yuan a month anymore!
Zhang Mo gracefully rested her chin on her hand, looking at him calmly, and continued to ask, "Then what explanation do you have for the arson at the orphanage?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hu was so frightened he nearly lost his mind. He kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, his forehead quickly turning red: "I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry!!! I really only did that once!"
At that time, that bastard Xiang Sinian threatened me, saying that if I didn't go, he would tell my wife about these things. My wife had just given birth, and I didn't dare let her know about it!
Seriously, I swear I've only done this once! And I specifically told them not to hurt anyone, just to make a little noise to appease them!
"Really, really! It was just a bluff to get us done, otherwise we wouldn't have only bought a small bottle of liquor!" Yellow Hair and Red Hair were both in tears, snot bubbles coming out of their noses, full of regret. "We're sorry, we really know we were wrong!"
Just then, a puzzled head popped in through the door of the private room: "Honey, what are you doing?" Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap in the room.
Cheng Hu's eyes widened in terror, and he whispered to Zhang Mo, "I'll take full responsibility for this. My wife is easily frightened, please, please don't let her know about this. We can settle this privately..."
As they were talking, his wife walked into the private room step by step. She was holding the child. Her gaze swept over Cheng Hu and the other two kneeling on the ground, then looked at Zhang Mo and Jiu Xuan, and finally landed on Cheng Hu. The tenderness in her eyes gradually disappeared.
Zhang Mo hesitated; she didn't want to involve her family, especially a woman who had just given birth.
As a result, the petite woman who had just finished her postpartum confinement walked over, still holding the baby steadily in one arm, and raised her other hand, slapping Cheng Hu hard across the face with a "smack": "Who did you just call a coward?"
The three demons: "?"
Zhang Mo: "...Wow!"
