869: Chapter 863: We’re Going to Attend the Birthday Banquet Too 869: Chapter 863: We’re Going to Attend the Birthday Banquet Too Ye Chenfeng had not expected Zhang Qingqing to attack him without cause, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Elder Zhang Manshan’s face immediately tightened upon hearing his granddaughter’s unreasonable words, and he scolded Zhang Qingqing, “Qingqing, what way is that to speak?
Chenfeng is much older than you, you should address him as Brother Chenfeng.
Apologize to your Brother Chenfeng right now.
Today is your grandfather’s birthday celebration; do you want to make me angry?”
Zhang Qingqing had been spoiled since childhood.
Her grandfather pampered her, her parents pampered her, and her older sister pampered her, gradually fostering a sense of arrogance within her.
She just found Ye Chenfeng utterly detestable, perhaps due to having seen his profile years ago.
She did not want such a man to have any relationship with her sister.
In her eyes, if her sister were a swan, then the Ye Chenfeng before her was nothing but a toad at best.
Pouting stubbornly, Zhang Qingqing glared at Ye Chenfeng before responding to Zhang Manshan, “Grandpa, I didn’t say anything wrong.
Didn’t we investigate Ye Chenfeng’s background before?
In Capital City, Ye Chenfeng is just an incompetent playboy.
Otherwise, you would have already arranged the marriage between sister and Ye Chenfeng.
I won’t apologize to a worthless man.”
Hearing Zhang Qingqing’s continuous provocation, Ye Chenfeng felt uncomfortable inside.
If it weren’t for Zhang Manshan being present, he would have grabbed Zhang Qingqing and severely spanked her right away.
Elder Zhang Manshan, seeing his stubborn granddaughter, was furious and bellowed, “Qingqing, are you trying to anger me to death?
If you don’t apologize to Chenfeng, get out of the Zhang family this instant!”
When Zhang Manshan was young, he was good friends with Ye Chenfeng’s grandfather.
Elder Ye had helped Zhang Manshan a lot in the past, so the elderly man always remembered this kindness.
It was why he had even considered arranging a marriage between his granddaughter and Ye Chenfeng, but after investigating Ye Chenfeng’s appalling profile, Zhang Manshan reluctanty abandoned the idea, not wanting to push his granddaughter into a fire pit.
However, having now seen Ye Chenfeng in person, he didn’t find him as deplorable as imagined and even took a liking to him.
“Dad, what’s going on?
Did Qingqing make you angry?” A middle-aged man in his forties entered the hall, followed by an elegant and distinguished middle-aged woman.
“Dad, today is a joyous occasion for you; please don’t let it adversely affect your health,” the distinguished middle-aged woman quickly added.
Ye Chenfeng had learned about the Zhang family from his grandfather.
Elder Zhang only had one son, and the middle-aged man entering the room must be Zhang Yiming, Elder Zhang’s son, with the woman behind him likely being his wife Zhu Yuhua.
After seeing Zhang Yiming and Zhu Yuhua, Zhang Manshan irately said, “Look at this wonderful daughter you’ve raised.
I told you to discipline her more, and look at what she’s become: haughty and disgraceful.
Don’t embarrass me here.
Let’s talk outside.”
Having scolded Zhang Yiming and Zhu Yuhua, Zhang Manshan then looked at Ye Chenfeng with a slightly less stern expression, saying, “Chenfeng, please have a seat in the hall for a while, I’m embarrassed you had to witness this farce.”
Ye Chenfeng watched Zhang Manshan and others leave the hall, then casually shrugged his shoulders and took a seat on the hall’s sofa.
After following Zhang Manshan out of the hall, Zhang Yiming urgently asked, “Dad, tell us what happened; what exactly did Qingqing do to make you angry?”
“Dad, I didn’t make Grandpa angry.
It’s all Ye Chenfeng’s fault.
This is what happened…” Zhang Qingqing roughly explained the whole incident.
After hearing Zhang Qingqing’s account, Zhang Yiming and Zhu Yuhua finally understood the whole situation.
They were unaware of Ye Chenfeng’s attendance at the birthday banquet and only now realized that the young man in the hall was Ye Chenfeng from the Ye family in Capital City.
Zhang Yiming spoke, “Dad, I think what Qingqing said isn’t wrong, it’s just that she’s a bit too aggressive in her approach.
We have seen Ye Chenfeng’s information before, and to be frank, Ye Chenfeng truly isn’t worthy of our Xiao Yun.”
“Dad, I also believe Qingqing didn’t say anything wrong.
Ye Chenfeng is just an incompetent dandy; there’s no need for Qingqing to apologize to him.
Besides, it was just a quarrel between the younger generation; we really don’t need to get involved,” Zhu Yuhua, as Zhang Qingqing’s mother, naturally sided with her daughter.
Hearing his son and daughter-in-law’s words, Zhang Manshan couldn’t help but sigh helplessly and say, “Yiming, Yuhua, I understand what you’re saying.
I was merely speaking off the cuff earlier, and now that Ye Chenfeng is already engaged, even if I wanted to betroth Xiao Yun to him, it would be impossible.”
“Although I agree with what you said, otherwise I would have definitely insisted on arranging a marriage between Xiao Yun and Ye Chenfeng years ago.
But Ye Chenfeng’s grandfather was a good friend of mine when we were young, and he has helped me and our Zhang family many times.
We mustn’t forget this kindness!”
“Forget it, both of you take Qingqing and go prepare for today’s birthday feast.
Let this old man apologize to Chenfeng.
Regardless of whether Chenfeng is a useless scion or not, I owe him an apology if nothing else, for his grandfather’s sake.”
“Also, Xiao Yun should be released from the police station today.
I don’t know what happened at Fan’s No.
1 last night, but you don’t need to worry about Xiao Yun, she’s safe now.”
After waving his hand, Zhang Manshan then walked toward the hall.
Actually, Ye Chenfeng, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, had clearly heard the entire conversation outside.
With his keen hearing, this was hardly a difficult feat.
Regarding the Zhang family’s opinion of him, Ye Chenfeng could only laugh it off in his heart.
He had come to the Zhang family today to collect some medicinal herbs, and perhaps after today, he would no longer have any dealings with the Zhang family, so he didn’t take their words to heart.
“Chenfeng, I owe Siyu an apology on behalf of Qingqing.
I heard from Zhenhong that you’re currently in need of some medicinal herbs.
Fortunately, I have a penchant for collecting precious herbs and can put together two sets for you.
I’ve already packed them for you.
I’ll give them to you after today’s feast is over.
For now, you’re welcome to take a stroll around the estate.
My birthday feast should start soon,” said Zhang Manshan.
Since Zhang Manshan had put it that way, Ye Chenfeng had no choice but to attend the birthday feast with peace of mind.
Meanwhile.
While Ye Chenfeng was at the Zhang family’s place, Chen Siyu had already arrived at Chen Jianjun’s office at the police headquarters.
Nangang’s top official, Cheng Wansong, second in command Xu Dongchun, and Duan Nan among others were all present.
They had come looking for the police headquarters since they hadn’t seen Ye Chenfeng since yesterday afternoon.
Cheng Wansong and others watched intently at the computer screen on Chen Jianjun’s desk, which displayed footage of Ye Chenfeng running across the sea surface and ultimately bursting Zhan Lang’s body with a punch.
The video was taken by a wastrel of Nangang with his cellphone and had been copied by Chen Jianjun.
Of course, Chen Jianjun hadn’t forgotten to delete the video from the wastrel’s phone, as such footage was not suitable for public dissemination.
Cheng Wansong and company got a detailed account of the events from the previous night.
A group of young nobles from Nangang had just been released from the police station, and they were astounded as they watched the unbelievable video on the computer screen.
Luckily, they had already regarded Ye Chenfeng as a divine being, so they were able to accept seeing him run across the sea.
“We’ll also attend Zhang Manshan’s birthday feast,” Cheng Wansong suddenly said after staring at the computer screen for a long time.
He had learned from Chen Siyu that Ye Chenfeng was attending Zhang Manshan’s birthday feast.
Now that the issues in Nangang were temporarily resolved and Ye Chenfeng was about to leave Nangang, Cheng Wansong knew he had to seize the opportunity to get familiar with this otherworldly figure.
“It happens that we have also received an invitation from Zhang Manshan, so let’s go join the festivities,” said Duan Nan.
As medical authorities in Huaxia Country and having cured Nangang’s infectious disease, Zhang Manshan naturally invited them.
However, while Zhang Manshan had invited officials like Cheng Wansong and Duan Nan, he knew that these people were almost unlikely to attend his birthday feast.
But now, because of Ye Chenfeng, they all prepared to set off for the Zhang family estate.
