The other guests also had a bewildered expression.
It was agreed that Secretary Li and Director Deng were here to celebrate Elder Master Ji’s birthday.
But what were they doing at Xu Wendong’s place???
Ji Wenyuan nervously said, "Dad, Secretary Li and Director Deng were originally going to Xu Wendong’s place, and they came to our house because they went to the wrong place."
Ji Wenyuan felt the world spinning, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
If not for his grandson supporting him in time, he would have surely fallen to the ground.
"Dad, are you okay?" Ji Wenyuan asked with concern, worried that something unexpected might happen to the old man.
"What could happen to me?" Elder Master Ji’s face was sallow, showing no emotion, but inside he felt despair, a strong sense of despair.
The Geng, Mi, and Gong families went to Xu Wendong’s Villa No. 95, which already made him lose face, hoping to take back a round by the arrival of Li Zhenfeng and Deng Wencheng.
After all, as long as those two came, the Geng, Mi, and Gong families would surely come here.
Who could have thought that those two would actually go to Xu Wendong’s place???
He really couldn’t imagine it.
Li Zhenfeng and Deng Wencheng would go to Xu Wendong’s place to attend the housewarming party.
"Elder Master Ji, I suddenly remembered, I forgot to turn off the gas stove at home, so, I need to go back." A middle-aged man said awkwardly and then quickly left the Ji Family.
"Elder Master Ji, I’m sorry, my wife just called and said that my daughter has a fever, I also have to go back."
"My dad accidentally fell down the stairs just now, I also need to go home and see."
Those owners of Shengjing Shanshui who came to the Ji Family for the birthday celebration found some half-hearted excuses and then left the Ji Family.
Everyone could see that tonight’s Ji Family’s birthday celebration and Xu Wendong’s housewarming party were bloodless conflicts.
It was also a reshuffling of the upper class of Qingyuan County.
A matter of life and death for the family!
And judging by the current situation, the Ji Family was already at a disadvantage.
Those who came to the banquet had assets in the tens of millions and naturally knew how to choose.
Watching the owners of the community leave one by one, Elder Master Ji was trembling with anger. He didn’t expect these people to be so opportunistic.
"Grandpa, it’s all my fault." Liu Can bowed his head like a child who had done something wrong: "If not for you standing up for me, things wouldn’t have come to this. I’m going to Xu Wendong’s place to apologize right now."
Liu Can regretted it.
He regretted not listening to Xu Wendong before.
Otherwise, the Ji Family wouldn’t have been implicated.
This feeling of regret was really hard to bear!
"You cannot apologize!" Elder Master Ji’s face turned gloomy, gritting his teeth: "Xu Wendong took your woman, and he also wanted you to break your own arm. This move is clearly a provocation to the Ji Family’s authority, a slap to the Ji Family’s face."
"So what if he invited Secretary Li and Director Deng? We operate legally and pay our taxes on time, do they have the guts to eliminate the Ji Family?"
"It’s not that I look down on the secretary of the county committee, but he really doesn’t have that kind of power!"
"Dad, let me help you back to rest!" Ji Wenyuan sighed secretly; he actually didn’t agree with his father’s view.
Although Xu Wendong and his nephew had conflicts, it was a personal matter between the two.
And there was no such thing as Xu Wendong taking his nephew’s woman because the two had been separated for three years, and the engagement was long rendered meaningless.
Liu Can beating a woman was indeed excessive, and Xu Wendong disliking him and wanting to stand up for a woman was understandable.
This was originally a grudge between two young people; there was no need to drag the Ji Family into it.
"Hey, why is there a luxury car from the provincial capital?"
Just as everyone supported Elder Master Ji to leave the doorway to return to the villa, Ji Yunfei’s voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw an extended Rolls-Royce Phantom with the license plate 44444 driving over from a distance.
Ji Wenyuan gasped, shocked: "I know this car, it belongs to Gong Shaoye, the heir of the Geng Family in the provincial capital!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s scalp tingled.
The Geng Family was absolutely the most influential and financially powerful aristocratic families in the entire province.
There was no other like them.
Even though the Ji Family’s financial resources and influence in Qingyuan could rank first, it was not even an egg compared to the Geng Family.
Why would the Geng Family’s heir appear here?
"Dad, do you know Young Master Geng?" Ji Yunfei curiously asked.
Ji Wenyuan nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Last year, I had the fortune to meet Young Master Geng once, and I even added his WeChat."
Ji Yunfei’s eyes lit up: "Dad, do you think there’s a possibility that Young Master Geng saw the invitation you posted in your moments, and he came to Qingyuan specifically to attend Grandpa’s birthday celebration?"
Liu Can was also incredibly excited: "Yes, yes, cousin is right. Although the Geng Family’s influence in the province is unrivaled, Qingyuan is the city with the most development potential in North River and is about to take off. The Geng Family might have ideas to enter Qingyuan."
"The best way for them to enter Qingyuan is to ally with a local aristocratic family, and besides the Ji Family, there’s no second choice, right?"
Ji Wenyuan trembled with excitement, grinning: "I think your analysis makes a lot of sense!"
"Truly, heaven blesses my Ji Family, heaven blesses my Ji Family!"
Originally dispirited and listless, Elder Master Ji’s face was now glowing. He thought the Ji Family had lost, lost terribly.
But he never dreamed that the situation would take a turn.
After all, the arrival of the Geng Family’s heir from the provincial capital was a cardiac stimulant for the Ji Family. Even if the Ji Family was isolated in Qingyuan County, so what?
As long as the Geng Family was willing to ally with the Ji Family, what other families would there be to fear?
In front of the powerful Geng Family, eliminating the Geng, Mi, and Gong families was merely a matter of moving their lips!
And he firmly believed.
If he told Li Zhenfeng that the Geng Family’s heir had come to bless his birthday, they would surely come running here to meet the Geng Family’s heir.
Amidst the crowd’s discussions, the Rolls-Royce with 44444 arrived in front of the villa.
Ji Wenyuan, like a flattering eunuch, promptly walked to the right rear door and opened the door: "Welcome, Young Master Geng!"
Geng Biao elegantly got out of the car and looked at Ji Wenyuan, puzzled: "Do you know me?"
Ji Wenyuan hurriedly said: "You are a person who tends to forget old acquaintances, we met once last year, and I had the honor of adding you on WeChat."
Saying this, he seemed to remember something, his expression suddenly froze, and he couldn’t help saying: "Could it be that Young Master Geng is not here to celebrate my father’s birthday?"
Geng Biao: "No, I’m here to attend Mister Xu’s housewarming party, not to celebrate your father’s birthday!"
This simple sentence was like a bolt from the blue to everyone.
The Geng Family heir came to Qingyuan to attend Xu Wendong’s housewarming party?
