141: Chapter 141 Uninvited Guest Comes without Invitation!

The hotel banquet hall.

The room was abuzz with activity and voices echoed throughout.

Being a renowned grand family of Tianyuan, the Tang Family’s Tang Xiao’s engagement party was bound to be a full house, wasn’t it?

Many relatives, friends, and business partners came to show their support.

Once seated, groups formed here and there, chatting and laughing merrily.

And, of course, Tang Xiao was the topic of most discussions.

Today.

Tang Xiao, forgoing her usual professional attire, donned a white dress and light makeup.

Her typically cold expression and demeanor were replaced with a smile…

and everyone indeed found it a bit out of character.

But Tang Xiao in a dress and a smile was undeniably more feminine and more captivating.

However…

In many people’s eyes, Tang Xiao was a legendary figure.

Before being discharged, she was the “War King”, and after that, an imperious CEO!

She possessed exquisite and breathtaking beauty, yet also had an extraordinary fiery temper.

As a result, there was much speculation.

How did Wu Jie manage to win over this rose with thorns, this untamed and unruly mustang?

“I heard their encounter was due to a car accident, and their relationship developed rapidly.

They had a whirlwind marriage after just half a month!”

“I heard it was an office romance, and they were even in a superior-subordinate relationship!”

“Saw the announcement yesterday, Wu Jie was just promoted to be the Director of the Supervisory Department.

What was his position before?”

“Seems like he was a pre-sales engineer, but he also worked as a security guard!”

“Damn it!

He’s not even that handsome!

Does he possess some extraordinary quality?”

“See the hosts’ table?

The man and two women next to Old Mr.

Tang, they’re Wu Jie’s family!”

“Wow!

At a glance, you can tell there’s a huge disparity in their family backgrounds!”

“Average looks, average background, so what did he use to capture Tang Xiao’s heart?”

“Must be his thick skin!

There are those who like her, but with her cold and domineering attitude, very few would dare risk their necks to pursue her.”

“Right!

If it doesn’t go well, you’re asking for a beating!

Haha!”

…

The atmosphere in the hall was fervent and lively.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao stood at the entrance of the hall, welcoming the guests.

After making her rounds, Tang Xin also came over with a beaming smile.

“Brother-in-law, you really lack friends, huh?

How come none of your relatives, friends, or classmates are here?”

Damn!

Wu Jie gave Tang Xin a sidelong glare, “Can you die if you don’t speak and bring people down?”

“I’m not a local from Tianyuan.

I just have a few classmates here, and the engagement party was announced in such a hurry.

It’s normal for no one to come.

If it were in my hometown, I could easily fill dozens of tables!”

Tang Xin snorted coquettishly, “Fine!

When you have your wedding banquet back in your hometown, I’ll be sure to follow and see if you can fill those dozens of tables!”

“You want to go?

Buy your own ticket!”

“Hey, brother-in-law, how can you be so stingy?”

“Who asked you to be so sharp-tongued and criticize me?”

…

Just as the two were about to argue, Tang Xiao immediately spoke up in a low voice, “Both of you, shut up!”

Hmph!

Tang Xin turned her head away, but then she froze.

The person who should not have come was here.

With a stiff smile turning into a look of astonishment, Tang Xin turned to Tang Xiao.

“Sis, did you…

invite them?”

Tang Xiao, expressionless, did not utter a word.

Wu Jie was somewhat puzzled.

Approaching them was a group of people: men and women, old and young; none of them dressed like they were poor.

Among them were children who, seeing Tang Xiao from afar, waved eagerly and ran toward her.

But why…

was Tang Xiao indifferent?

If they were enemies, she should be angry.

If they were relatives or friends, she should be smiling.

So why the cold face?

At that moment, several of the more daring children rushed up to Tang Xiao.

“Aunt Xiao, you look so beautiful today!”

“Aunt Xiao, can I have some candy?”

“Aunt Xiao, when are you getting married?”

…

The kinship terms within the Tang Family are overly simple.

There is no distinction between cousins from the maternal or paternal side; non-siblings call each other cousins, and those one generation apart address each other as aunt or uncle.

Calling someone “Aunt Xiao,” you wouldn’t even know what that signifies.

Until…

“Xiao, congratulations are in order—you’re finally married.

If your mom could see you from heaven, she would be happy for you.”

“Of course, today your uncle brought the whole family over to celebrate your wedding, not to quarrel with you,” said a dignified-looking middle-aged man with a faint smile.

Uncle?

Wu Jie got it in a second.

They were relatives from Tang Xiao’s mother’s side.

Since he didn’t see any elderly with white hair and it was said that the whole family came, it seemed like Tang Xiao’s maternal grandparents had already passed away.

The death of Tang Xiao’s mother had always been a mystery to Wu Jie.

Meng Changxin insulted the deceased mother, and Tang Xiao exploded with rage…

but how did he insult her?

Could it be that the cause of death was suspicious?

And this “uncle” in front of him bluntly stated that he wasn’t here to argue with Tang Xiao, but if they were close relatives, what was there to quarrel about?

It seemed, in the end, that it all stemmed from Tang Xiao’s mother.

However…

Tang Xiao turned a deaf ear, showing no reaction whatsoever.

The silence couldn’t continue!

Wu Jie hurriedly greeted:

“Hello, uncle, hello everyone!”

“Please, come inside and have a seat.

There are so many guests today, I’m afraid I might not be able to attend to everyone properly, please forgive me!”

“Tang Xin, quickly take everyone over, please!”

Wu Jie quickly signaled to Tang Xin with his eyes.

Tang Xin pouted and grumbled unwillingly:

“Just follow me!”

A group of people was led away by Tang Xin.

Tang Xiao, from beginning to end, didn’t give them a second glance.

But Wu Jie clearly noticed some people’s smiles were too forced, and Tang Xin clenched her fists.

Fortunately, more guests arrived soon after.

They were clients with whom they had long-term collaborations.

Tang Xiao immediately put on a smile, exchanging pleasantries and small talk.

The difference in attitude was like night and day.

After being busy for a while, he finally had a moment to himself.

Wu Jie immediately asked, “Do you have a grudge against your uncle’s family?”

“No grudge, just hate,” Tang Xiao replied icily.

“So they showed up uninvited!” Wu Jie snickered awkwardly and did not pry further.

He glanced over at the hall.

Wu Jie noticed that when Tang Long saw the uncle and his group, he indeed didn’t even greet them.

And the group, led by Tang Xin, was seated in a secluded spot, with no one from the Tang Family coming over to greet them.

It seemed there was no minor enmity between these two families!

“If they’re so unwelcome, why bother coming at all?

I just can’t figure it out!”

Wu Jie was muttering to himself when suddenly the system chimed in with good news.

Ding!

[System: You have gained 20,000 points of hatred from Mu En]

Looking up, sure enough, Mu En had arrived.

He was dressed very stylishly today, exuding extravagance from head to toe.

Seeing Tang Xiao in her white dress, he was slightly startled, but soon a smile crept onto his face as he stepped forward.

“President Tang, congratulations!”

“But with your marriage, so many talented young men must be utterly disheartened!”

Mu En bowed slightly, his face wearing a trademark gentlemanly smile.

Tang Xiao gave a faint smile, not wanting to talk at all.

Seeing this, Wu Jie cheerfully asked, “So, does Mr.

Mu feel disheartened too?”

“President Tang is the dream goddess of countless people, and you’ve taken her first—I’m of course disheartened as well!”

Mu En shot Wu Jie a sideways glance, full of resentment, as if he wished he could take Wu Jie’s place.

Wu Jie laughed, “It doesn’t matter how many are disheartened… as long as I’m happy, that’s good enough!”

“You!!” Mu En suppressed his anger, grinding his teeth, “Fine!

Be happy then!

But…

I’m curious to see just how long you can stay happy!”
