"Who is this?"
"Why do they look so unfamiliar?"
"I don't recognize them at all!"
The crowd buzzed with curiosity, looking at Wen Wenling and the other two in amazent.
Suddenly, soone's eyes lit up, and they spoke up, "I know her, that's the third daughter of the Wen Family from back then! Wen Wenling! But I heard she ran off with so poor guy years ago, why has she suddenly co back?"
Those odd glances recklessly swept over Wen Wenling and her companions.
The elders of the Wen Family were first stunned, then, tears stread down their faces.
"Good! It's good that you have returned! It's good you're back!" Old Mr. Wen excitedly stood up, leaning on his cane.
Wen Wenling quickly stepped forward to support him.
Qin Jiang and Qin Sisi also ca forward, stiffly greeting, "Grandpa, Grandma."
"Good, good children!" Old Mr. Wen patted Qin Jiang's shoulder, "You've grown so much? Truly handso... They say a grandson resembles his mother's family, and your stature does bear so resemblance to when I was young! Hahaha—"
Qin Jiang felt a surge of warmth looking at the elder before him, initially quite resistant to the Wen Family, now realizing that it was only so mbers of the Wen Family he despised.
The elder couple of the Wen Family seed alright to them.
And their attitude was impeccable.
The white-haired old lady of the Wen Family, with tears in her eyes, touched Sisi's hand, "Please sit down quickly."
She glanced at a servant nearby and commanded, "Hurry and seat the third miss and the other two, add three more places to the family table."
Hearing this, Wen Wu couldn't help but stand up, clearly annoyed, "Grandma, the family table can't be added to! There's only so many seats, if they join, where will we sit?"
"We can make room if we squeeze!" Old Mr. Wen rebuked sternly, "Just do it!"
With a pig-like face, Wen Wu glowered fiercely at Qin Jiang.
Just then,
eldest son of the Wen Family, Wen Xiaobai, also stood up, "Dad, Xiaowu is right! It's true that our third sister has co back, and she is our family, which I accept. But these two who popped out from who knows where... why should they sit with us at the sa table? Our Wen Family doesn't have two outsiders!"
"Exactly, Dad, if you want those two brats to sit at our table, we won't agree! How long were we laughed at because of our third sister?" Wen Xiaowen, the second son of the Wen Family, said coldly.
They would rather die than allow Wen Wenling to return to the Wen family, let alone lose face; it was just an excuse, purely not wanting her to co back to divide the inheritance.
"Third sister, oh, long ti no see! What's the matter, you've co to the Wen Family with the seed of that wild man, begging for food?" A mocking voice rang out.
A middle-aged woman, clad in a cheongsam and accompanied by a young girl, walked in from outside.
She was none other than the fourth child of the Wen Family, Wen Wanyun.
"If you can't make ends et, my company has a few casual jobs, receptionist, security guard, warehouse watchdog... take your pick, but don't even dream about the Wen family's inheritance."
Wen Wenling said indifferently, "You're thinking too much, I'm here today just to see the old couple; I never thought about fighting with you for the inheritance."
Seeing how her three siblings treated her, Wen Wenling's heart felt even colder.
If not for the two elders who she still cared about, she wouldn't want to step foot in here at all.
"Enough!" Old Mr. Wen shouted, "We have so many guests here, do you want to be the laughing stock?"
The siblings quieted down at this point.
Qin Jiang said calmly, "Sisi, let's go sit on the side."
Wen Wu sneered, "Looks like you know you don't deserve to sit with our Wen Family!"
Old Mr. Wen's face darkened, "You have the old man's blood in your veins, why can't you sit at the family table? Don't mind them, in the Wen Family, I'm the one who makes the decisions!"
Following that, he turned his gaze to the other mbers of the Wen Family, sharply chastising them.
"You people have been insincere towards , thinking the old man wouldn't know? If you had sincerely gone to invite the third brother, would he have stayed away for so many years without visiting us?!"
Seeing Old Mr. Wen in a rage, they all fell silent, not daring to speak.
"Master, the seats have been added," a servant hurried over to report.
"Good, let's sit down!"
"Let's go," Wen Wenling lowered her voice, "Give your grandfather so face."
Qin Jiang nodded.
Although Qin Jiang didn't want to sit with these people, he had no choice since the old man insisted.
The Wen Family mbers took their seats one by one.
Just as Qin Jiang and his party were walking over, the young girl beside Wen Wanru placed her pet dog on one of the chairs, leaving only two seats instead of the three originally reserved for them.
This left the three of them in an awkward position, neither standing nor sitting.
"What do you an by this?" Qin Jiang said coldly.
Bai Shuang'er sneered, "This is my dog, and it's just like a mber of my family. As for you, you'll just have to squeeze a bit, won't you? Of course, you could also stand and eat if you prefer... it's up to you."
It was clear what Bai Shuang'er ant: in the Wen Family, even a dog was entitled to a seat at the table, but they were not!
"Little sister, aren't you going too far?" Wen Wenling frowned delicately.
Wen Wanru sneered, "In our family, the dog eats with us. It's also a mber of the Wen Family."
Bai Shuang'er smiled sarcastically, "Oh, and Auntie, my dog is quite precious, so if you sit next to her, please take good care of her."
"We didn't bring our dog nanny to grandpa's birthday banquet today, so we'll have to trouble you."
"Here's two hundred yuan, consider it your wage. Is it enough? If not, I'll add another hundred."
She took out two hundred-yuan bills and placed them on the table.
The Wen Family mbers all laughed, their eyes filled with amusent. Bai Shuang'er's gesture was indeed humiliating.
Qin Jiang's expression turned icy as he strode toward her, and the next mont, his hand swung across Bai Shuang'er's face in a slap!
Bai Shuang'er's cheek swelled with redness, her anger tangible, "You!"
"Crack!" Another slap flew from Qin Jiang's hand.
"The first slap was on behalf of grandpa, and the second was for my mom!"
"Grandpa invited us to join the family table, and you're making it difficult for us, which is the sa as making it difficult for him. My mom is your elder, and you humiliate her like this, show no respect for your elders, and have no sense of propriety. You deserve it!"
Qin Jiang then turned to Old Mr. Wen, "Grandpa, am I right?"
Old Mr. Wen nodded, "You're right. Shuang'er, if you keep making trouble, you can leave right now!"
Bai Shuang'er felt extrely wronged, "I..."
Old Mr. Wen enunciated each word, "I don't want to repeat myself! Fourth child, if you don't discipline your child properly, you can leave as well!"
Everyone took a deep breath, knowing Old Mr. Wen ant business this ti.
Bai Shuang'er hugged the pet into her arms, glared vehently at Qin Jiang, wishing she could tear him into pieces.
She had been slapped twice and scolded by her grandfather. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
But Qin Jiang was not about to let it go and said coldly, "Clean the chair for !"
Wen Wanru was furious, slapped the table as she stood up, and roared, "You bastard, don't go too far!"
