Chapter 206: His Gall Is Too Fat
As a woman, everyone hopes her marriage will be happy and enviable.
Geng Jing Shu saw the envious looks of her sisters, and she felt delighted inside.
"Good, good, good!" Geng Tianhua nodded repeatedly, greeting the relatives as they headed into the hotel.
At the same time, the Xiao family members were also walking toward them.
"Father-in-law, you've gone to great trouble." Seeing the Xiao family approach, Geng Tianhua hastily replied politely.
"It's nothing; you raised your daughter so well and are willing to marry her to Yunzhe—our effort is only proper." Seeing Geng Tianhua, Xiao Ming quickly reached out and shook his hand.
"This is Jing Shu's future father-in-law—how does he have such an aura?"
The relatives of the Geng family who followed behind Geng Tianhua all stared curiously at Xiao Ming.
Then they glanced at Xiao Yunzhe beside Xiao Ming, and then at the Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun sisters.
Everyone secretly sighed, thinking the Geng Jing Shu's in-laws were all strikingly handsome.
Moreover, they seemed quite wealthy.
Being able to rent so many luxury cars and afford such a high-end hotel shows just how great their wealth is.
But they didn't realize that what they imagined and Xiao Ming's true stature were still far apart.
Up to this moment, no one had recognized Xiao Ming's identity as the richest person.
Mainly, they were all ordinary people; in their view, Jing Shu marrying into a wealthy family was already good enough—who would dare imagine she was marrying the son of the richest person?
"Jing Shu!" Xiao Yunzhe nervously called out her nickname, then, after his girlfriend's introduction, offered a cigarette to the male elders of the Geng family.
After spending these months by Xiao Ming's side, his skin had grown thick.
Marriage is a major event; experiencing it for the first time, he inevitably felt nervous.
"Let me introduce him—he's Jing Shu's partner, named Xiao Yunzhe." At that moment, Geng Tianhua stepped forward to make the introduction.
"This is Yunzhe's father, and those two are his sisters."
"Yunzhe, these are Jing Shu's two uncles—my second and third brothers…"
After the introductions, Geng Tianhua's two brothers immediately went to Xiao Yunzhe's side and lavished praise: "You're my niece's partner—you really are a handsome young man."
"As I said, my niece's taste is certainly not bad—there are several outstanding young men." Geng Tianhua's third brother looked satisfied at Xiao Yunzhe, his niece's husband-to-be.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Ming." Facing his future in-laws, Xiao Ming gave them full respect, stepping forward to greet them: "Welcome, everyone—I'm Xiao Ming."
"Father-in-law, hello—may I ask what you do for a living?" Geng Tianhua's second brother stepped forward and asked politely.
From this family's conduct, one could see they were not ordinary; the Geng family were all very curious about what the Jing Shu's in-laws did for a living.
The question posed by Geng Tianhua's second brother was exactly what everyone wanted to ask, so when he spoke, all eyes turned to him.
"I'm in business," Xiao Ming replied with a smile.
"Really? What a coincidence—I'm also in business." Geng Tianhua's third brother exclaimed in surprise, his expression as if he had met a like-minded friend.
"Father-in-law, let's exchange contact information—perhaps we can cooperate someday." As he spoke, Geng Tianhua's third brother pulled out his business card and handed it to Xiao Ming.
Watching from the side, Geng Tianhua's old face turned red—this brother of his, his gall is too fat.
With just his little side business, he dares to claim he's in business in front of the richest person, and even talks about future cooperation?
What kind of international joke is this?
Seeing this, Geng Tianhua hurriedly said to Xiao Ming, "Father-in-law, you don't need to pay attention to him."
"No problem!" Xiao Ming calmly took the card and replied.
Although he is the richest person of Wuxingguo, he is also an ordinary man, a father; facing his future in-laws, he naturally wants to give them face.
"Brother, what are you saying?" Geng Tianhao, the third brother of Geng Tianhua, looked at Geng Tianhua with a resentful expression.
Is this really his older brother? Who would undermine him like that?
Geng Tianhua gave his third brother, whose gall was excessively fat, an annoyed look: "Enough, stop talking."
He secretly thought, "I wish this brother of mine would be a bit more sensible and stop saying earth-shattering things; otherwise I wouldn't know how to wrap this up."
The remaining Geng family members, while walking into the hotel, kept glancing around, their faces full of astonishment and envy.
Geng Jing Shu's cousin, Geng Yu Er, walked along while whispering to the relatives: "Hey, doesn't everyone feel that Jing Shu's future father-in-law looks familiar? He gives off a sense of familiarity."
"It does feel familiar, as if I've seen him before, but I can't recall where." Geng Yu Er's brother also chimed in.
"So you all feel it's familiar too—I thought I was the only one who felt that way." Another cousin of Geng Jing Shu agreed.
"Maybe we really have seen him—speaking of which, Jing Shu's future father-in-law's looks are truly high; he could rival our…" Before Geng Yu Er could finish, she froze in shock.
She suddenly recalled seeing a photo of the Wuxingguo richest person online; although the photo looked a bit dated, it in no way diminished Xiao Ming's bearing.
So she quickly pulled out that photo, took a look, and was startled.
"Oh my gosh!" Geng Yu Er exclaimed in surprise.
"Yu Er, what are you doing? Suddenly shouting like that scared me." Geng Yu Er's mother scolded her daughter in a low voice, then glanced embarrassedly at the surrounding relatives and friends.
Even Xiao Ming and Geng Tianhua, among others, were startled by her sudden movement and stopped, looking at her with puzzled eyes.
Geng Yu Er walked over to Xiao Ming with a shocked expression and asked, "You… you are Mr. Xiao Ming?"
Xiao Ming blinked slightly; seeing that this young lady had recognized him, he nodded calmly and replied, "Yeah, that's right."
Seeing his daughter behave so improperly, Geng Tianhao felt embarrassed and quickly scolded: "Yu Er, what's wrong with you, making such a fuss?"
"He… he…" Geng Yu Er pointed at Xiao Ming, wanting desperately to reveal his identity, but seeing the relatives all calm, she suddenly didn't know where to begin.
The Geng relatives all stared blankly at Geng Yu Er, clearly not having recognized Xiao Ming's identity.
Although the Xiao family had picked them up in luxury cars and booked a very luxurious hotel, in their minds Xiao Ming was merely a very wealthy person.
As for the richest person, they hadn't even considered that possibility.
With that much money, holding the engagement banquet in a grand manner is perfectly fine.
Geng Yu Er began to doubt life—how could the relatives of her family fail to recognize such a famous person as Xiao Ming?
Geng Yu Er adjusted herself for a while before calming down; to avoid being overly excited and unable to speak clearly, she slowed her speech and said to her father, Geng Tianhao: "Dad, he is Xiao Ming—the newly risen richest person of Wuxingguo, Xiao Ming!"
