The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with a cane walking in.
Some people asked curiously, "Who is this?"
The insider lowered his voice and said, "This is the oldest elder in the Zhan family. Everyone respectfully calls him Elder Zhan. He is 89 years old this year and is Zhan Jingting's great-grandfather."
"Wow, even the old master has been alerted! The Zhan family is in for a stir now..."
Zhan Yin turned his head and glanced at Zhan Jingting, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Uncle, it's Old Master Zhan. He's a peacemaker and very good at using his seniority. He must be here to plead for Zhan Xiuwen."
Zhan Jingting remained expressionless and instructed his bodyguards, "Continue."
"yes."
The bodyguard, who had just stopped, continued slapping Zhan Xiuwen across the face!
"Jing Ting, how dare you!" Elder Zhan quickened his pace and stepped forward. "I told you to stop, did you hear me!"
"I have no obligation to listen to you," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Elder Zhan, I advise you not to interfere in today's matter."
"You're being too presumptuous!" Old Zhan tapped his cane. "Even if your grandfather were alive, he wouldn't dare speak to me like that!"
Zhan Jingting said calmly, "If you miss my grandfather so much, you can go to his grave to visit him."
"You..." Old Master Zhan's face turned pale with anger. "We should make a scene about the Zhan family's affairs behind closed doors. What kind of occasion is this? How can you publicly humiliate your elders in front of so many outsiders? Is this appropriate?!"
“There is nothing inappropriate about it for me.”
"You really are arrogant and disrespectful, you don't even have the most basic sense of respect for elders and juniors."
Zhan Jingting slowly turned his head to look at him, "When you asked my mother to take me to apologize to Zhan Xiuwen, there was no right or wrong anymore. Now you're talking to me about seniority and hierarchy?"
"Jingting, you..." Old Zhan's hand holding the cane trembled, "How could you become so unruly!"
“My uncle isn’t a pet, so why should he be tamed?” Zhan Yin interjected.
"Shut up!" Old Master Zhan didn't dare to do anything to Zhan Jingting, but he didn't need to worry about Zhan Yin. "When the adults are speaking, you shouldn't interrupt. That's basic manners."
"I..." Zhan Yin almost swore, but he held back and changed his words, "I am telling the truth."
Just as Master Zhan was about to speak, the bodyguard stopped him, saying, "Master Zhan, the fight is over."
"Fine." Zhan Jingting stood up, straightened his suit, and looked at Zhan Xiuwen sitting on the ground with his deep, cold eyes. "Remember the pain of today. From now on, if I ever hear any more words that slander my wife, I will hold you responsible, and I will hold you responsible twice over."
The man finished speaking in a low voice, then turned and left.
"Jing Ting, you stop right there!"
Old Zhan was embarrassed and called out from behind, but Zhan Jingting ignored him completely.
Old Zhan was so angry that his face turned ashen, but he could only suppress his anger and try to control the situation. "Everyone, I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid today's party will leave you all disappointed."
Everyone understood immediately, politely said goodbye, and left one after another.
"Today was truly a worthwhile trip." Wen Lixuan put down his champagne glass. "We drank good wine and watched a good show. Brother, you're right. We can't be enemies with Zhan Jingting, and neither can Zhan Xiuwen. Who says old ginger is spicier? Even the oldest ginger gets devoured by Zhan Jingting."
Wen Lijing looked at Zhan Xiuwen, who was getting up not far away. He had just walked up to Zhan Lao when he was slapped.
Even from this distance, Wen Lijing could hear Elder Zhan's reprimand, "Look at the mess you've made! This is the first time in a hundred years that the Zhan family has been so disgraced. You've completely disgraced your ancestors, do you even know that?!"
Zhan Xiuwen touched his already swollen face, lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry..."
"What's the use of saying sorry now!" Old Zhan was furious. "Xiuwen, Xiuwen, I told you long ago that you could take action, but you had to ensure that everything went perfectly, otherwise you would only harm yourself! Now that things have come to this, how are you going to clean up this mess!"
"Nothing is beyond redemption." A cold glint flashed in Zhan Xiuwen's eyes. "What Zhan Jingting gave me today, I will one day take back, tenfold..."
......
When Zhan Jingting returned to Wutong Bay, Ruan Wanyi greeted him with a smile as bright as a sunflower, "Jingting, you're back?"
As Zhan Jingting took off his clothes, he asked, "How did you know about what happened at the scene?"
"Don't underestimate your mother, she has an undercover agent too," Ruan Wanyi said with a smile. "I have a friend, Mrs. Wu, who also went to Zhan Xiuwen's party today. After you arrived, she video-called me and broadcast the whole thing live. My son is so handsome!"
Ruan Wanyi became happier and happier as she spoke, “You don’t know, after you left, they also dispersed. Mrs. Wu praised me all the way in the car, asking me how I gave birth to such an amazing son. I said it’s because of my good genes.”
Zhan Jingting: "......"
"I don't see any gene in me that I inherited from you."
Ruan Wanyi: "..."
"Jingting, if you say that, Mom will be heartbroken. You are Mom's biological son, right? And you are so amazing, right? I may not have done anything special, but I have worked hard."
Zhan Jingting ignored her and glanced at Jiang Dong, who was standing beside him. "Call the person out."
"Yes, Master Zhan."
All the servants in the house were called to the living room, numbering in the dozens, which suddenly made the large living room feel much fuller.
Jiang Dong took out his phone and called out the names one by one.
The five people whose names were called stood up, looking at each other blankly, at a loss for what to do.
