Chapter 494: Showdown, I am actually a rich second generation

Hearing his old classmate say this, Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Old classmate, what you said makes sense, but I'm afraid you don't know the value of Spicy Girl Hotpot!"

Feng Xuelin asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "There is more than one La Meizi Hotpot restaurant. It is a hotpot chain restaurant with dozens of branches across the country!"

The trick of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is not popular in the Deng family.

Deng Yunheng already knew that Feng Yingying's family owned a company and they were not short of money. Moreover, she was an excellent choice in terms of figure, appearance and education. In this case, if he still deliberately concealed his shortcomings, then it would really be like the saying goes, if you pretend to be a pig for a long time, you will really become a pig.

So, facing the questions from his old classmates, Deng Yunheng began to play his cards one by one.

"You have dozens of branches across the country?"

Feng Xuelin was shocked when she heard this. Although she had been to La Meizi Hotpot with her family, she had not paid much attention to this hotpot restaurant. She only remembered that the food here was very good and it was quite popular.

I only now realize that this La Meizi Hotpot is actually a hotpot restaurant chain with dozens of branches across the country.

If there is only one La Meizi Hotpot restaurant, then even if Zhujiang Internet Cafe is added, the financial resources cannot be compared with her third uncle's family.

But if dozens of hot pot restaurants are added together, the result will be different. Even if Uncle San's company is doing pretty good business, it is still no match for the boss who owns dozens of La Meizi hot pot chain stores.

Seeing his old classmate's surprised expression, Deng Yunheng played his cards again and said, "Old classmate, Yongjia Supermarket, you are familiar with it, right?"

Feng Xuelin was shocked and asked with wide eyes, "Old Deng, is this Yongjia Supermarket yours?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "That is my eldest brother's property."

When these words came out, Feng Xuelin was really shocked.

Unlike the La Meizi hotpot chain store, Yongjia Supermarket, as the first large supermarket in Guangzhou, is extremely famous.

Moreover, Feng Xuelin had heard her father mention Yongjia Supermarket last year. She knew that it was a national chain supermarket. The number of its branches was said to have exceeded 100 in the past two years. It was one of the leaders in the domestic retail industry and a behemoth that could be compared with supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.

It is incredible that such a large company with annual profits calculated in billions is actually owned by Brother Deng Yunheng.

“You’re awesome!”

Feng Xuelin gave her old classmate a thumbs up and said with emotion, "I have been your classmate for six years, and I have long known that your family is well-off. After all, I have seen how much you have been eating, wearing and spending over the years, and it is not comparable to that of an ordinary family.

But I really never thought that your family's financial situation would be so good. I understand why you want to seduce my sister. With such a powerful elder brother and second sister protecting you, even if you are a puddle of mud, I can successfully help you get back on your feet."

Deng Yunheng blinked and continued to play cards: "Old classmate, let me ask you another question. Have you heard of the Deng Group?"

When Feng Xuelin heard this, she exclaimed in shock, "This...is this also your family's property?"

Deng Yunheng shook his head and said, "This is not my family's property."

Feng Xuelin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I told you, if the Deng Group is all your business, that would be horrible!"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Although Deng's Group is not my family's business, my father is the largest shareholder of Deng's Group and the current chairman of Deng's Group."

Hearing this, Feng Xuelin was completely numb!

This news shocked her even more than hearing that Yongjia Supermarket, a well-known domestic retail giant, was owned by Deng Yunheng's elder brother.

After all, Deng Group is the number one private enterprise in the country. Its huge size is not comparable to Yongjia Supermarket. Deng Yunheng's father is the major shareholder and current chairman of the group. His wealth and status are not comparable to ordinary people.

At least, Feng Xuelin's third uncle is absolutely not qualified to compare with others.

Feng Xuelin looked at this old classmate deeply and said, "Old Deng, you hid it very well. If it wasn't for my sister, you would have continued to hide it, right?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Look at what you said. I didn't hide it on purpose. It's just that you never asked me these questions. I can't just run up to you and brag about how rich my family is for no reason, right?"

Feng Xuelin was powerless to refute and said with a wry smile: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

“That’s what it is.”

At this point, Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Old classmate, now you can help me and your sister get together without any worries, right?"

Feng Xuelin asked seriously, "Old Deng, tell me the truth, are you sure you want to marry my sister?"

Deng Yunheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Sure, I really like your sister, and I hope you can help to bring us together."

Feng Xuelin replied, "Okay, I'll help you with this. Sound out my sister's reaction tomorrow. If there's a chance, I'll tell you."

Deng Yunheng said happily: "Old classmate, I will leave my lifelong affairs to you. If I can really marry a beautiful woman, I will definitely prepare a big thank you gift for you."

Feng Xuelin smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your thank-you gift for matchmaking."

Deng Yunheng looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, you should hurry up, I also need to go back to take a shower and rest!"

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

…

The next day at noon.

After Feng Xuelin got off work, she called her cousin’s cell phone.

After greeting each other, Feng Xuelin asked, "Yingying, do you have time now?"

Feng Yingying said: "There is time from now until before work in the afternoon."

Feng Xuelin gave an address not far from them and said, "Then come here. I have something to talk to you about."

Feng Yingying said: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, the two took their own cars to the meeting place.

A quarter of an hour later, the two sisters met at a dessert shop.

The weather is hot now, and it is very comfortable to eat a bowl of cold eight-treasure porridge or sweet potato soup at noon.

While they were eating, Feng Yingying said, "Sister, what's the matter with you calling me over? Tell me!"

Feng Xuelin glanced at the other customers in the store and said, "Don't worry, wait until you finish eating."

Feng Yingying realized that what her cousin wanted to talk about was probably a rather private topic that shouldn't be heard by outsiders, so she stopped asking questions and instead comfortably ate the cold sweet potato soup.

A few minutes later, the two sisters paid the bill and walked out of the store.

When they came under the shade of the tree, Feng Yingying asked again: "Sister, there are no outsiders now, you can tell me what you want to say!"

Feng Xuelin did not hide anything and said straight to the point: "Yingying, Lao Deng is interested in you, you should know that, right?"

Feng Yingying was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Sister, didn't he ask you to help with the matchmaking?"

"You guessed it right!"

Feng Xuelin smiled and asked, "Yingying, what do you think of Lao Deng?"

Feng Yingying recalled the few times they had been together and said matter-of-factly, "He's a nice guy and I'm happy to be with him, but maybe it's more appropriate for us to be friends than lovers."

Feng Xuelin said: "I thought so originally. After he showed his affection for you in front of me for the first time, I actually warned him that he was not worthy of you and told him to give up the idea and not get involved, so as not to hurt himself.

But he didn't listen to me. It seemed like he really fell in love with you at first sight.

Then, after what happened last night, I found that he might not be unsuitable for you."

Feng Yingying's heart moved, and she asked, "Sister, are you talking about his second sister?"

Feng Xuelin said with emotion: "Yingying, his second sister is not just the owner of Zhujiang Internet Cafe. Do you know Lameizi Hotpot? That is also his second sister's business, and..."

Next, Feng Xuelin told her cousin all the cards that Deng Yunheng had revealed to her last night, and finally said, "Yingying, Old Deng is outstanding in everything except his appearance. I believe you will be happy if you marry a man like him."

Feng Yingying was stunned by her cousin's three consecutive bombs. The financial strength of Deng Yunheng's second sister alone was beyond her family's reach. But his eldest brother was even more powerful. He was the boss of the retail giant Yongjia Supermarket.

And this is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is his father, the major shareholder and chairman of the Deng Group.

Each bomb was more powerful than the last, and Feng Yingying was dizzy.

Deng Yunheng, who originally had an ordinary appearance, seemed to have become a little different after being blessed by the halo of money.

After being shocked, Feng Yingying calmed down and asked, "Sister, you know him better, what do you think of his personality?"

Feng Xuelin praised him highly, saying, "He has a very good personality, otherwise my relationship with him wouldn't be so good. He is really a low-key person. He has such a good family background, but he never shows off in school. No one knows his background for so many years.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If it wasn't for you this time, I don't think he would have taken the initiative to reveal all this.

It can be seen from here that he really cares about you."

Feng Yingying thought for a moment and asked again, "Sister, do you really want me to date him?"

"Of course I want you to date him."

Feng Xuelin nodded without hesitation, "You are my sister, and he is my best friend. I would be happy to see you two get together."

Feng Yingying pondered and said, "I believe in your judgment, sister. Let's get to know him for a while. If he can really make my heart beat, then I will agree to be with him."

Feng Xuelin smiled and said, "Okay, you have to be good at discovering his strengths. As long as you spend more time together, I believe you will be moved."

Feng Yingying smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

Feng Xuelin asked: "Should we tell Uncle San and Aunt San about this?"

Feng Yingying shook her head and said, "Don't tell them yet, lest they put pressure on me."

"Whatever you want, then it's settled. I'll tell him when I get back and ask him to invite you out more often. You two should get along well. If you have any problems, contact me."

"I know. I will get along well with him."

…

That night.

The entrance of the Naye Deng Family Ancestral Hall was brightly lit, and the country chefs and helpers were busy.

Tomorrow Deng Shirong will hold a full-moon banquet for his fourth grandson. Full-moon banquets in Shuangwang Territory are usually held between nine and ten in the morning, so all preparations must be made tonight in case it is too late tomorrow.

First of all, braised pork, meatballs and egg rolls, the three indispensable dishes in the banquet, must be prepared in advance tonight.

Also, bowls, chopsticks, celery, garlic, onions, coriander, green vegetables, etc. must be cleaned in advance and set aside.

In short, all preparations must be done well, otherwise if you leave it until tomorrow, you will definitely not be able to make it in time.

At this time, Deng Shirong, Deng Shize, Deng Shian, Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Yuncai, Deng Yunlin, Deng Yunfeng and others were sitting at the entrance of the ancestral hall, drinking and chatting.

On the table, there are freshly steamed egg rolls, which have been cut into pieces. They are still hot. If you eat them while they are hot, they taste great.

In addition to egg rolls, there are also pig offal, which are cooked into soup and then used as dipping sauce. This is the most common way of eating it in Shuangwang Territory.

Fandoucheng (in Hakka, it means peanut candy made from peanuts. The peanuts are fried and the sugar wrapped around them is not hardened sugar but snowflake sugar, which tastes quite good) is naturally indispensable.

In addition, there are several stalks of garlic on the table, which is a favorite of people with strong taste.

As for wine, Deng Shirong and others drank local glutinous rice wine, but Deng Shize was not suitable for drinking this kind of wine due to physical reasons. Deng Shirong then got some tiger bone wine given to him by his eldest son-in-law for his eldest brother to drink. This is a good thing for strengthening muscles and bones, and it should be good for his eldest brother to drink a small amount.

Among those present here, except Deng Shirong, Deng Shize and Deng Shian, the only three surviving people of the Shi generation, the other people of the Yun generation are also elders of relatively high seniority in the clan. When these elders get together, their favorite thing to do is to recall the good and bad times.

At this time, Deng Yunqiang said with emotion: "Thinking back to the most difficult times in the past, I only had two or three mouthfuls of rice in a bowl of porridge, and then I desperately poured the rice soup into my stomach. After I was full, I would eat the two or three mouthfuls of rice.

But this can only deceive the stomach. The stomach will be hungry after peeing. It is really too difficult to have not eaten a full meal all year round!"

Deng Yungui swallowed the peanut candy in his mouth and said, "In those days, it was good enough not to starve to death. I started to help the landlord herd cattle when I was only a few years old. When I was 11 years old, I had to learn to plow the fields. At that time, I was not even as tall as the plow handle. That kind of life was really not a life for human beings."

Deng Shirong continued, "In fact, our generation is already considered good. At least there are no thieves like Long Sanba anymore."

Deng Shian agreed, "Old Nine is right. Our generation had it so hard. We didn't have enough to eat or wear, and we lived in fear. Back then, when Long Sanba led his bandits into the village to rob people and money, my mother was kidnapped by them.

Fortunately, my mother's last name is Cai, and Long Sanba also has a subordinate named Cai who is from the same village as my mother. He secretly let my mother run away because of the brother-sister relationship. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not exist in this world. "

Deng Shize said, "I also heard about this from the villagers back then. Long Sanba was indeed a wicked man. It just so happened that the Qing Dynasty had fallen at that time, the local security was in chaos, and the government was unable to suppress the bandits, allowing thieves like Long Sanba to wreak havoc on the village without fear."

Deng Yungui said: "I heard that many people from our Deng clan were killed by Long Sanba."

Deng Shian said: "Our Naye Deng family is considered good. The worst hit was the Hengkeng Village in Songshan. 56 people were slaughtered by Long Sanba. Moreover, those who were killed tied themselves up and were killed one by one. It was really stupid."

Deng Shirong took a sip of wine and said, "It's not that those people are stupid, but they are all scared by Long Sanba's vicious reputation. I heard that Long Sanba threatened those people at that time, saying that if anyone dared to run, he would kill his whole family. If they didn't run, they could tie themselves up and he would spare their lives.

In this situation, those people had no choice but to believe Long Sanba's words."

Deng Shize shook his head and said, "Those people were really scared. It is said that Long Sanba only brought a few men with him at that time. Even if they had knives and guns, if they dared to fight, it would probably be Long Sanba who ran away. It is not impossible that they could have killed the thief on the spot.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the courage, so they could only be deceived and tied up and stabbed to death like pigs.

A few people were drinking and talking about the big thief Long Sanba.

Long Sanba was the most famous and most harmful thief in the history of Shuangwang. He killed people like crazy and did all kinds of evil things. His deeds were even recorded in the county annals. Even though he had been dead for hundreds of years, in Shuangwang, as long as Long Sanba was mentioned, everyone, from the eighty-year-old man to the eight-year-old child, knew him.

In fact, it’s not just Shuangwang. Even if you look at the entire Bobai, the name Long Sanba can be said to be well-known.

Since the thief leader could do this, Long Sanba could die without regrets.

After talking about their past sufferings and comparing them with their current happy life, Deng Shian and others were very satisfied. Comparing the past and the present, it was like living in two different worlds.

The group ate and drank until about ten o'clock in the evening before they dispersed.

…

The next morning.

There was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the Deng Family Ancestral Hall in Naye, estimated to be several thousand people, all of whom came to attend the full moon banquet for Deng Shirong's grandson.

Deng Shirong is the head of the Naye Deng clan and the one who led the entire clan to prosperity. Whenever his family holds a happy event, basically the entire clan participates, along with relatives and friends. The lively scene is truly unmatched by many banquets.

The Fan family and their relatives and friends were surprised to see this scene, but they couldn't help but feel happy for Fan Yuemei.

The Ye Deng clan members were very experienced in hosting this kind of banquet. The young wives in the clan spontaneously organized themselves to entertain the guests and arranged the banquet in an orderly manner without any instructions from the clan leader.
