"Is that so? Can't compare to Uncle's husband, you're still a henpecked husband as always, right?" Mu Feng smiled, deliberately sarcastic.
Mu Feng felt no need to be polite with people like them.
Back then, his aunt's family relied on the Mu family's influence to gain many benefits and fawned over them like lapdogs.
Now that the Mu family had fallen, they had stabbed him in the back.
Pfft!
The entire third aunt's family standing nearby couldn't help but laugh at Mu Feng's words.
The aunt's husband, however, was so angry that he stopped talking, plotting to bankrupt Mu Feng later.
"Quick, let me introduce you. This is my son, your cousin, Shen Weihao." Wang Guiqin pulled her son over, her face full of pride, showing off. "Weihao is now eating from the state's granary, he has a good job."
"Cousin, I heard you survived a great calamity. I'm truly happy for you." Shen Weihao, seeing his parents wronged, his eyes darted around, subtly and openly mocking him.
Although he was very polite on the surface, he sized up Mu Feng intentionally or unintentionally, and when he found that everything he wore was cheap, a look of disdain appeared.
"Now that you're back, cousin, what kind of business are you planning to do?" Shen Weihao asked intentionally.
"I don't plan to do any business," Mu Feng said lightly.
Seeing that her son was even more sarcastic than herself, Wang Guiqin immediately got excited. "Son, your cousin's family has been bankrupt for seven years. Where would they have money to do business now?"
"I earned some money outside, and I spent it all on your maternal grandfather just now. If your unit has any good jobs, don't forget to introduce them to your cousin."
"Otherwise, he might not even have money for living expenses after this meal."
Shen Weihao nodded with a smile.
"Is that so! Coincidentally, our security department is short of a gatekeeper. As long as I say a word, it will be no problem." Shen Weihao said, revealing his Omega watch and proudly stating, "Even though the salary isn't high, it comes with social security and housing fund, and working in such a unit is respectable, right?"
"Of course, it's much better than doing nothing and staying at home."
Mu Feng watched the mother and son's performance with a smile, saying nothing. It was quite amusing to see a fool get carried away.
"How about this, today is not only Grandpa's 70th birthday, but also my cousin's return. I'll treat everyone to this meal. Feel free to order whatever you want."
"My buddy is good friends with the boss, I can get an 80% discount with just one word."
Shen Weihao became more and more smug, even getting lost in his own self-importance. He called over the waiter.
"Please take our order."
Looking at the menu handed over by the waiter, Shen Weihao's expression began to flicker.
Yixiang Lou was considered one of the best restaurants in Qinghai City, usually fully booked and requiring a week's advance reservation for private rooms.
Although Shen Weihao regretted it a little upon seeing the menu, he still braced himself and ordered to show off his prowess.
"Son, why are you treating?" Wang Guiqin was so angry that she kept kicking his feet.
But Shen Weihao pretended not to feel it and continued to put on a show.
He had originally planned to feast on Mu Feng, but now his own family was treating, which made Wang Guiqin so angry that she wanted to kill him.
"Alright, alright, we're all family. Just order a few dishes." Seeing the exorbitant prices on the menu, Wang Guiqin's heart ached to the point of suffocation. She frowned and complained, "Some people are truly harmful. He said he would treat, but now he wants us to pay. Really. Hmph!"
Shen Weihao felt a little embarrassed listening to his mother's nagging and awkwardly ordered the dishes.
Just as everyone was ordering, a commotion suddenly arose from outside.
"Shasha, don't you remember me at all?" Outside the private room, a young man dressed in luxury goods and looking radiant, grabbed the girl's arm and asked.
"Let go, you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't know you." Meng Sha, the cousin from the third aunt's family, was blocked halfway after just coming out of the restroom.
Cornered by several people, Meng Sha, as a girl, trembled with fear. She pleaded desperately but could not get rid of them.
"Please let me go, or I'll call the police."
"Call the police? Hahaha, Shasha, I just want to make friends with you. What are you calling the police for? Are you going to say I raped you?" The young man, seeing her fear, became more emboldened and deliberately provoked her.
"Besides, I'm the boss of Yixiang Lou. Is it wrong for me to ask you something when you're here?"
Hearing the commotion from inside the private room, everyone stood up to check. Upon seeing Meng Sha being harassed, the third aunt rushed forward to intervene.
Unexpectedly, she was pushed to the ground by the bodyguard beside the young man.
Just as Mu Feng was about to step forward, Shen Weihao beat him to it.
"Is that Young Master Zhao Peng?" Shen Weihao walked over, his eyes lighting up, and asked the young man.
Seeing someone recognize him, Zhao Peng turned his head and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
He was in a good mood and was annoyed by the interruption.
"It's me, Xiao Shen. A few days ago, Director Zhang had dinner with you, and I accompanied him. Do you remember, Young Master Zhao?"
Zhao Peng frowned, looked him up and down, then patted his forehead and said, "Ah! I remember now, you're the one who got drunk like a dog, right?"
It was obvious that Shen Weihao's face instantly turned awkward, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he could only smile ingratiatingly. "Yes, yes, I'm Xiao Shen. It's because Young Master Zhao has a good capacity for alcohol, I admit I'm inferior."
Mu Feng, standing by, let out a suppressed laugh. So this was how he knew the boss?
Anyone with eyes could see that Zhao Peng didn't consider Shen Weihao as a person at all, and it was Shen Weihao who was trying to curry favor with him.
"Do you need something from me?" Zhao Peng asked with a cold face.
As the son of the boss of Yixiang Lou, he often encountered people trying to connect with him, and he had long been used to it.
"No, no, nothing." Shen Weihao, wanting to show his capability, said with a smile, "Shasha is my cousin. Can Young Master Zhao do me a favor?"
Everyone was watching. Since Shen Weihao had lost face, he decided to rescue Meng Sha, which would give him something to brag about later.
"Your cousin?"
"Yes, yes, my cousin from my third aunt's family, a very close relative."
Zhao Peng's face suddenly showed a smile. He glanced at the others and said, "So it's your cousin. That's great. Bring your cousin with you to my private room and keep me company while drinking."
Awkwardness in capital letters.
His plea failed and instead caused trouble.
"Young Master Zhao, how about another day? We have a family gathering today. Can you give me some face?" Shen Weihao continued to beg.
Hearing his words, Zhao Peng's expression immediately changed. He raised his hand and slapped Shen Weihao across the face, cursing.
"Damn it, give you some face? Who the hell are you? I'm giving you face by letting you bring your cousin. Scram."
"Young Master Zhao." Shen Weihao, having been slapped, felt his pride hurt and didn't know what to say.
Wang Guiqin, seeing her son being hit, was so angry that she rushed forward and yelled, "How dare you hit someone? You must give me an explanation today and apologize to my son immediately."
"Get lost, I'll apologize to your sister! I'm giving you all face," Zhao Peng shoved Wang Guiqin away, not taking her seriously at all.
Just as he turned around, intending to continue teasing Meng Sha, he suddenly felt his shoulder blade being gripped tightly. The pain twisted Zhao Peng's face. He turned around and found Mu Feng standing behind him.
