Chapter 890 Sun Flower (Update 1)
“You, you…”
The sixty-year-old man widened his eyes and looked at Ruan Fengmian's business card with shock on his face.
Everyone saw that he looked unhappy and was about to ask him.
A voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.
"Master Xi, long time no see."
Xi Jiu turned around when he heard the voice.
Outside the crowd, Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya stood side by side, looking at him with smiles on their faces. Behind them, their eldest daughter Cheng Wanqing and eldest son Cheng Bosong had strange expressions on their faces.
When Xi Jiu saw this family, his eyes moved and he looked at Ruan Fengmian silently.
Ruan Fengmian nodded imperceptibly.
Seeing that his father-in-law didn't care, Xi Jiu turned around and nodded slightly to Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya.
"Master Cheng, Ms. Xu."
These six simple words instantly made the atmosphere in the banquet hall strange.
Generally speaking, when a wealthy couple attends such a banquet, everyone will address them as "Mr. X" and "Mrs. X." Of course, if the woman in the couple does not want to use her husband's last name, everyone will call her by her last name, calling her "Ms. So-and-so."
But Xu Qingya is obviously not the kind of person who doesn't like to take her husband's surname.
She has always enjoyed the honorable title of "Mrs. Cheng's Patriarch" and also likes everyone calling her "Mrs. Cheng".
However, Xi Jiu addressed her by her surname, calling her 'Ms. Xu'.
This is quite meaningful.
Xu Qingya likes everyone to call her "Mrs. Cheng" so much, why did Xi Jiu do the opposite and call her "Ms. Xu" in front of so many people?
Could it be that... Xi Jiu felt that Xu Qingya was not worthy of being called "Mrs. Cheng"?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but think of the Cheng family's past twenty years.
Back then... Xu Qingya was definitely not the legitimate wife of the Cheng family.
Thinking of the dispute over the Cheng family's main wife, everyone's expressions became strange.
Xu Qingya was keenly aware of this atmosphere, and the smile on her face froze.
"Master Xi is really humorous." She smiled stiffly, "Cheng Qi and I have both celebrated our golden wedding anniversary. Master Xi doesn't need to call me by my first name. Just call me Madam Cheng."
Xu Qingya is not a pushover. But with just two simple sentences, she revealed her identity.
She has been Cheng Qi's principal wife for decades!
But what made Xu Qingya angry was that even after she said so much, Xi Jiu actually ignored her.
He didn't even glance at her, but turned his head and started chatting with Ruan Fengmian beside him.
This blatant neglect was obvious to anyone present, as long as they were not stupid or blind.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Xu Qingya with even stranger eyes.
Xu Qingya was furious, but she didn't dare act rashly because of Xi Jiu's status. She clutched her handbag tightly and was about to speak when Cheng Qi beside her spoke first.
"Master Xi, who are these two beside you..."
Xi Jiu stopped talking with Ruan Fengmian and looked up at Cheng Qi.
Cheng Qi is over 70 years old, but the lifespan of ancient warriors is much longer than that of ordinary people. Years of training have made him look only about 50 years old.
However, although he looks young, his eyes have long been cloudy.
At this moment, Cheng Qi's cloudy eyes were fixed on Ruan Fengmian. The wrinkles around his eyes kept twitching, as if he had seen someone incredible.
When Xi Jiu saw his reaction, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes and his tone became even colder.
"These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mr. Ruan Fengmian and Ms. Yang Liu. Uncle and aunt, this is Cheng Qi, the head of the Cheng family, and next to him is Ms. Xu Qingya."
This introduction is extremely meaningful.
When Xi Jiu introduced Xu Qingya, he only introduced her name but did not say that she was Cheng Qi's wife.
At this moment, the weirdness in everyone's eyes almost solidified into reality.
Xu Qingya felt the gazes coming from all directions, and her anger grew even stronger. Her long nails were about to dig into her handbag.
She forced a smile, trying to appear dignified and generous. However, because she was facing Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu, her dignity and generosity were tinged with jealousy and hatred.
The mixture of these different emotions made her expression extremely distorted. Her eyebrows and eyes, which were originally quite good, looked a little more mean and sharp.
"So you're the Xi family's father-in-law and mother-in-law." She said with a twisted smile, clutching her handbag tightly. "Mrs. Ruan and Miss Ruan Qi are really good-looking. By the way, you're from the countryside, right? It's your first time in a big city, aren't you feeling a bit uncomfortable?"
Ruan Qi's hometown is in the countryside, which has long been made public on the Internet.
Since Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu are Ruan Qi's parents, they must be from the countryside.
Among the guests present were many wealthy people who were snobbish and looked down on the common people. When they heard that Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu were from the countryside, they immediately showed some contempt.
Xu Qingya felt those gazes and felt relieved.
She curled her lips and was about to speak when the sixty-year-old man who had exchanged business cards with Ruan Fengmian suddenly burst out laughing.
The old man's smile immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Qingya also looked over.
"Minister Xu, what are you laughing at?"
The sixty-year-old man called Minister Xu smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I just think Madam Cheng is really good at joking."
Xu Qingya didn't understand what was going on, but because of the other person's status, she couldn't afford to neglect him, so she could only politely reply, "Minister Xu, you're joking."
"No, no, no, I'm not joking. It's Madam Cheng who's joking." The sixty-year-old man didn't know what was wrong with him, but he laughed more and more happily, and finally laughed out loud. "You said Mr. Ruan Fengmian wasn't used to the big city. That's so funny. The chairman of Sun Flower is not used to the big city. Is there any joke funnier than that?"
Everyone: ???
Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya: ???
Everyone looked confused.
Someone asked in confusion: "Minister Xu, the sun flower you are talking about is..."
"It's the world's largest agricultural group, Sunflower."
The sixty-year-old man's voice was light, but it was like thunder that made everyone dizzy.
The world's largest agricultural group?
sun flower?
That legendary high-tech agricultural empire that cultivated the mother tree of Da Hong Pao - Sunflower? ! ! !
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone stared at Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu in a daze, unable to believe that these two handsome yet extremely low-key couple were actually related to Sun Flower.
Some people who didn't understand the agricultural trade industry simply opened Baidu on the spot.
"Sun Flower, one of the world's largest agricultural groups, operates in agricultural products, pesticides, technological production, and agricultural cultivation... Its business covers the globe, with annual sales of 18 billion M-coins... Holy crap! 18 billion? M-coins?!"
"Holy crap! He also owns the global chain RQ Supermarket?!"
"Oh my god... Sun Flower is so awesome! Didn't Ruan Qi say she was from the countryside? Are all kids from the countryside so well-connected these days?!"
