Chapter 434: Chapter 434: The Younger Generations Meet the Ancestor! Chapter 434: Chapter 434: The Younger Generations Meet the Ancestor! They sat on the boat, still a long distance from Wumingju, somewhat unable to see clearly for the moment.
Tong Qingyan widened her eyes and looked over, but Bai Chuwei’s figure had already disappeared from view.
Suddenly, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Bai Chuwei… had gone to Wumingju? Wasn’t it said that today, Tang Ke had booked Wumingju to host the other family heads?
Wen Heng thought back to a few days ago when Bai Chuwei beat Tang Ke with a horsewhip, and couldn’t help saying, “Is she going there to apologize?”
Tong Qingyan furrowed her brows, feeling it somehow unlikely. How could an apology mean barging into a place Tang Ke had reserved? Shouldn’t she be waiting at the door?
The Wumingju resort area directly occupied two-thirds of Luo Lake, where no other boats were allowed to venture.
Several elderly gentlemen and ladies of refined and elegant demeanor sat at a stone table by the lake, chatting.
They talked about the recent business of their families and shared amusing stories about their children and grandchildren, creating a scene as lively as a retirement group gathering.
“Sulan, why are you so quiet? Didn’t you say your granddaughter Nana was going to get engaged to her boyfriend?” an elderly man with graying hair asked the distracted old lady opposite him with a smile.
He Sulan from the He Family of Zhongzhou just smiled, “It’s just an intention to get engaged. We plan to visit the great ancestor to ask for her opinion after a while.”
Having said this, the old Mrs. He glanced at Qi Mo, who was seated diagonally from her.
Qi Mo smiled faintly and quietly sipped his tea.
Another old man nodded, “That’s right, it’s better for the younger generation to ask the great ancestor for her opinion more often. She has better foresight than us.”
“Indeed. I wasn’t too pleased with my second wife, but when I went to pay a visit to the great ancestor last time, she uttered the word ‘yes,’ and I immediately agreed to the marriage! Turns out my daughter-in-law is quite capable after getting married, even bearing me a son and a daughter.”
Another young man sighed deeply, his voice tinged with frustration, “But when I visited two years ago, the great ancestor was in seclusion and didn’t see anyone at all.”
Tang Ke had come in a palanquin and was bewildered as he listened to the other family heads chattering.
What are they even talking about?
The younger generation? That old man from the Shen Family is already over seventy, and he still has the audacity to call himself part of the younger generation?
The great ancestor? Who on earth is that?
After all, today he was the host, so Tang Ke coughed and asked, “May I ask who is the great ancestor that everyone is talking about?” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⟡fire.net
The looks in everyone’s eyes carried a hint of sympathy, and one of the amiable-looking men cleared his throat, ready to explain.
At that moment, a cold and ethereal voice came from a distance:
“Who do you think it is?”
Upon hearing that voice, everyone present was startled and instantly looked in the direction of the sound—
A young girl with a graceful figure approached slowly from afar, her facial features flawless and her demeanor ethereal, unlike anyone from the mortal world.
Tang Ke stood up in an instant, feeling a burst of pain in his flesh.
Suppressing the pain, his eyes flared with intense anger as he roared on the spot, “You dare to come?!”
He had been in so much pain these past few days, not going to work at the company and resting at home all day; otherwise, he would surely have taught her a lesson himself!
Bai Chuwei’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes.
Tang Ke suddenly felt an intense pain in his legs, not even needing Bai Chuwei to speak.
“Do not be so impudent.” The always amiable He Suyun from the He Family of Zhongzhou picked up a nearby walking stick and struck down hard on Tang Ke’s knee cap, causing him to kneel on the ground under the intense pain.
Before Tang Ke could even demand an explanation, he suddenly noticed that the group of family heads, who had been chatting merrily moments ago, knelt down all at once with several “thuds.”
Their voices were filled with extreme excitement:
“The juniors pay respects to the great ancestor!”
Tang Ke was dumbfounded on the spot, “…?”
What is going on here?
