Chapter 205: The recognition of the future father-in-law

Yan Yuan's face was ugly to the extreme, and she glared at Zhou Hong in anger.

"You go first!"

Zhou Hong waved his hand with a dark face.

"Fine, I'll go, Zhou Hong, you don't even help your own woman, you really aren't a man, I must have been blind to follow you, pfft!"

Yan Yuan spat with a full face of contempt, then angrily left toward the entrance of the banquet hall with her bag.

Seeing the movement, Xia Zhengping and his wife, who were walking toward this side, just happened to brush past Yan Yuan.

The two didn't call Yan Yuan to stop, and after walking to Qin Tian and the others, Su Xia asked what had happened.

"Old Xia, this matter is my fault, my fault!"

Zhou Hong decisively took the responsibility on himself and explained the situation just now quickly.

Halfway through, Xia Zhengping and his wife roughly understood what was going on.

"Old Zhou, it's not that I'm talking about you, you're already in your forties, and you still have women around you constantly... alright, I won't say this, but when you look for a woman, you can't just look at her face, right?"

Xia Zhengping scolded with a look of disgust.

They were old friends for decades, and partners who started from scratch together, so they didn't need to disguise anything when talking to each other.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's indeed my problem!"

Zhou Hong accepted the criticism openly, nodded and apologized repeatedly with an embarrassed face.

"Alright, alright, Old Xia, say less."

Su Xia turned her head to look at her husband and smoothed things over.

"Uncle Xia, Auntie, this matter is also my problem, my tone was a bit too impolite."

Qin Tian said.

Su Xia shook her head with a gentle smile: "Little Qin, you have no problem, you said it very well. This is a banquet to celebrate our Nuannuan's hard work to get into university, how can we let people say such things!"

"Exactly!"

Xia Zhengping nodded heavily in agreement, his face slightly angry: "This is also because I didn't hear it, if I had heard such words, it wouldn't just be as simple as kicking people out. Little Qin, you did very well, thank you!"

Very rarely, Old Xia expressed his approval and gratitude to Qin Tian very seriously, and the look in his eyes toward him also had a few more points of recognition.

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then a hearty smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Also thank you all for speaking up for our Nuannuan."

Su Xia thanked everyone with a smile.

Everyone shook their heads hurriedly, and their eyes looked strangely at Zhang Peng and Tian Jiajia.

Just now, the two of them said one sentence each, almost making that woman faint from anger, and they saw it all.

The destructive power of this pair of happy enemies who often fought when they met, when they teamed up to mock people, was not just as simple as one plus one.

"Nuannuan, there's just a seat here, you sit at this table with the teacher and classmates, the dishes will be served soon."

Su Xia said to her daughter.

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded hurriedly.

Afterward, Xia Zhengping and his wife continued to be busy greeting guests.

Zhou Hong also left with them, and under Old Xia's arrangement, sat at another table with his other business partners.

Xia Nuannuan sat in the seat everyone had deliberately left empty on Qin Tian's right side, and on her other side were Liao Juan and Class Monitor Mu Nan.

"Nuannuan, when you kicked people out just now, your momentum was really strong."

Liao Juan teased with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan smiled embarrassedly and denied: "No, I just let her go out!"

"You did, you surprised us all!"

Class Monitor Mu Nan echoed.

"Fine, I... I was just a bit angry."

Xia Nuannuan nodded slightly.

"It's right to be angry, the teacher and classmates have all seen your efforts over the past few months, people who work hard should never be mocked!"

Li Yanwang said coldly.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Xia Nuannuan thanked him, and then her bright eyes looked at Qin Tian beside her.

It was precisely because Qin Tian had always been protecting her and encouraging her by her side that she had the courage and confidence to persist.

Therefore, she was angry not only because her efforts were mocked, but also for Qin Tian.

Although Xia Nuannuan's graduation banquet was grand and there were many wealthy guests, Xia Zhengping and his wife didn't arrange too many unnecessary processes.

After the guests were all seated, the hotel waiters started serving dishes directly.

The first dish was the "Family Reunion," which was relatively common in local banquets, usually a bowl of soup boiled with various main ingredients such as meatballs, quail eggs, ham sausages, pork liver, etc.

However, this "Family Reunion" today was clearly improved, with some precious and rare ingredients added.

Qin Tian and the others even ate sliced sea cucumber and abalone.

While everyone was enjoying this first delicacy, Xia Zhengping walked onto the high platform of the banquet hall and picked up the microphone.

"Ahem, hello, hello, everyone eat slowly, I'll just say a few words!"

After Xia Zhengping tested the microphone and found it was fine, he opened his

"Good!!!"

The guests below responded in unison, and someone took the lead in applauding.

For a moment, applause surged through the banquet hall, and the atmosphere was high.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

After the applause died down, Xia Zhengping expressed his thanks and then began his welcome speech.

"Today is the day we celebrate my daughter Xia Nuannuan's success in the college entrance examination. On behalf of our family, I would like to thank all our relatives, friends, teachers, and classmates for coming..."

When he reached the end, a proud smile appeared on Xia Zhengping's face, and his gaze turned toward where his daughter was sitting.

Inside the banquet hall, the gazes of many relatives and friends also followed and landed on Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan immediately put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and her expression became nervous.

"That's right, the person I want to thank the most is still my daughter. Just a few months ago, her academic performance was only at the middle level of her class. It is because of her hard work during this period that we are having this celebration banquet today. Today, I want to say here: Nuan Nuan, you will always be Dad's pride, and Dad will always love you!"

"Ohhh..."

Deafening cheers and applause erupted in the banquet hall.

Xia Nuannuan's eyes turned slightly red, and she muttered in a voice with a hint of a sob, "Old Xia is really something, why say all that so suddenly!"

At the dining table, warm smiles appeared on the faces of Qin Tian and the others.

"Alright, that's all I'll say. Everyone, eat well and drink well. Thank you all!"

Xia Zhengping bowed in thanks, then made a gesture to put down the microphone and walk off the stage.

"Old Xia, don't finish it all by yourself. Let our protagonist say a few words!"

At a table in the front, a man suddenly suggested loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately received agreement from the surrounding guests.

"That's right, let our Nuan Nuan say a few words!"

"Old Xia, what are you doing? You're not the protagonist, don't steal the spotlight!"

"Exactly, exactly, let our top student come up and say a few words!"

"..."

Xia Zhengping was stunned for a moment, looked at his daughter again with a smile, and tentatively said, "Nuan Nuan, how about... you satisfy everyone's request and go up to say a few words?"

Xia Nuannuan was dumbfounded on the spot.
