Chapter 811: Chapter 811: Housekeeper Hong’s Honest Face

Every time he saw her, it was like seeing a stranger, not even looking at her.

How could Zhuang Mingyan stand that?

However, she couldn’t afford to provoke Zhao Gushen, someone she couldn’t just throw a tantrum at without concerns.

She could only seize any opportunity to linger in front of Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Gushen never paid her any attention.

Even in front of everyone, Zhuang Mingyan felt that since so many people were around, Zhao Gushen, at least out of politeness and upbringing, wouldn’t embarrass her too much.

So, in front of everyone, Zhuang Mingyan would smile and greet him as if she was very familiar with Zhao Gushen. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Only, what Zhuang Mingyan didn’t expect was that Zhao Gushen still ignored her.

Not even pretending not to remember her.

If he was just pretending not to remember, he would at least ask, "And who might you be?"

At the very least, he would see her with his eyes.

He would speak to her.

Although the result was still embarrassing, at least, she would be in his eyes.

But Zhao Gushen acted as if he didn’t see her, as if she was just a mass of air.

What responded to her was only an awkward, embarrassing silence.

However, Zhuang Mingyan couldn’t pester Zhao Gushen for long back then.

Later, she went abroad for graduate studies.

The Zhao Family never paid attention to her, so they didn’t know she came back only after completing her master’s degree.

"Nonsense!" The old man frowned unhappily, "This is our family banquet, what’s Zhao Dingye bringing an outsider for!"

Bringing an outsider to a family banquet, is that appropriate?

But as Lin Ligge sees it, if Zhao Dingye understood what was appropriate or not, he wouldn’t be dreaming about the position of family head.

Daring to dream of being the family head shows how oblivious he is.

So, bringing an outsider, especially a woman who once coveted Zhao Gushen and probably still does, is not surprising.

Anyway, both Zhuang Mingyan and Zhao Dingye are truly disgusting people.

The fact that Zhao Gushen is married is known to everyone online nowadays.

Not to mention that Zhao Dingye is a Zhao Family member. This kind of news doesn’t need to be learned from the internet.

The elders would naturally have informed him.

As for Zhuang Mingyan, would she not be online?

As long as she goes online, wouldn’t she see the news of Zhao Gushen’s marriage?

When Zhao Gushen made his announcement, both the official Weibo of the Changping Culinary Competition and the official Weibo of Changping Group reposted the congratulations.

Even Changping Academy followed with a repost.

Not to mention Han Zhuoli and the others, all reposted their best wishes.

It was a huge sensation.

Even though Chu Zhaoyang and others aren’t celebrities, they each have tens of millions of followers.

Han Zhuoli is already in the entertainment industry.

Han Bang, being the largest film and entertainment company in the entertainment industry, influences almost half of the industry.

Lu Man is both an actress and a public relations expert.

Any show she participates in, her influence is always top-notch, needless to say, how many fans she has.

Then there’s Yan Zhiqing, such an A-list actress.

Whenever she posts a Weibo, countless people pay attention.

No need for marketing accounts to create hype; it directly trended.

Although now most trending topics are bought.

Some would never trend, no matter how hot.

Even if the data of shares, likes, and comments is excellent.

They still won’t trend.

Those on the trending list aren’t even as popular as those not on it.

But who dares suppress Zhao Gushen’s trending topic?

Or dare to ask him for money?

Therefore, just by the genuine heat from shares, likes, and comments from all sectors, it naturally trended.

It skyrocketed to the number one spot like a rocket.

If Zhuang Mingyan claims she didn’t know, she’s truly lying.

Knowing full well that Zhao Gushen is married, coming over during the festive season, isn’t this just disgusting?

Don’t even mention Zhuang Mingyan’s intentions.

But Zhao Dingye, he’s obviously here to disgust Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei.

"Huh? Why haven’t they come in yet?" The old lady wondered.

A significant amount of time had passed.

They should have come in by now.

Housekeeper Hong coughed and said, "I haven’t opened the door for them yet."

Everyone: "..."

Housekeeper Hong explained earnestly, "Because Miss Zhuang was here too, I came to ask all of you first."

Everyone: "..."

It really doesn’t look intentional, does it?

Earlier, they all thought Housekeeper Hong had already opened the door for Zhao Dingye.

So, taking advantage of the fact that they hadn’t come in, they continued chatting for a while.

When Zhao Dingye and his group arrived, they wouldn’t have such ease to say anything.

Incidentally, they had just gossiped a bit about Zhuang Mingyan.

Who would’ve known that after talking for so long, Zhao Dingye and the others still hadn’t come in?

Turns out Housekeeper Hong hadn’t opened the door for them.

However, the elders weren’t angry at all.

The old man couldn’t help but twitch his mouth corners, trying hard not to show a gloating expression, and said, "Right right, being cautious is always good."

"Then now..." Housekeeper Hong asked the old man again.

The old man tapped on the sofa armrest a few times and said, "Just ask them straight, why is Miss Zhuang here? What’s going on?"

"Anyway, you don’t need to show them any face. Just say, today is a family banquet, and if outsiders want to come, they should choose another time. Today is not appropriate," the old man said directly.

"Understood," Housekeeper Hong replied and went to the entryway.

The old lady, curious, followed along.

Seeing this, the old man, who was also interested in knowing how Zhao Dingye would respond, joined as well.

Zhao Dinglian and Lin Ligge, who always loved to join in the fun, thought it was okay if the elders went, so they followed as well.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look," Zhao Guoxian, enjoying the commotion, incited Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Gushen looked at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei’s eyes were sparkling, clearly wanting to see as well.

After all, since Zhao Dingye was definitely not well-intentioned towards her, why shouldn’t she watch Zhao Dingye’s drama as well?

Zhao Gushen already said there was no need to be polite to Zhao Dingye.

Not only Ye Fei, but even the little one was looking at Zhao Gushen with bright eyes.

With both big and small eyes watching him eagerly.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Alright, since everyone is going to watch his second uncle’s drama, it wouldn’t hurt for Ye Fei and the little one to go as well.

Zhao Gushen nodded.

Zhao Guoxian saw Ye Fei and the little one, and deeply felt that indeed his sister-in-law and nephew were the ones who could keep him in line.

So, he happily followed along.

Fortunately, the entryway was large enough.

With so many people gathered here, it was still spacious, not crowded at all.

The nice thing now is, they could all see the door through a screen.

But from outside, they couldn’t be seen.

Zhao Gushen stood there and suddenly felt something was off.

With a forehead full of black lines, he said, "Why are we all squeezing here?"

"Of course, to watch the drama," Zhao Guoxian replied casually.
