Chapter 381: Chapter 381 make you a targe

Watching the scene, Old Lu shook his head at Ji Chu Hua. He felt pity for the woman for not using her brain. He then advert his eyes to Ji Shao An and part his lips to speak.

"Ji Shao An, it is Uncle Ji's birthday, don't cause a scene like this in front of so many guests."

"Hmmf. You are an outsider, don't get yourself involve with our Ji family's matters."

Ji Shao An refute with a snort. He hated the Lu family. Ji Huan is his uncle by blood, yet, he treated the Lu family better than he treated him (Ji Shao An) and Ji Chu Hua.

Hearing the man's words, Old Lu furrow his brows. He wanted to say something back, but Madam Lu place her hand over his and lightly shook her head.

As much as they want to intervene, it is not their place to have a say in it.

Seeing that the Lu family had backed down, Ji Shao An's head grew bigger.

However, he did not realize that he had just become a target after disrespecting Old Lu.

He suddenly felt a cold chill crawl on his back and subconsciously looks to his left.

In that moment, he is met with both Lu Tian and Lu Han's cold gaze and he froze in his seat.

How could he have been such an idiot?!

Lu Tian is a man short of words. He is usually quiet at events, which makes people forget that he is the number one person no one should ever cross the line with.

Not only him, but the carefree Lu Han is just as scary.

Lu Han may appear like someone who is easy to approach, but once you get on his bad side, he is no different from his older brother.

Being met with two pairs of dark eyes that could see into one's soul, Ji Shao An regretted so badly for opening his mouth at Old Lu. However, it was too late for regrets.

Grandfather Ji had enough of this outrageous discussion. He glares at Ji Chu Hua and Ji Shao An with a vicious look.

"Anyone who dares to disrespect Lieutenant General, Zhuang Xie Li is disrespecting me."

His voice was calm, but loud enough for everyone in the ballroom to hear.

It was a tone that held power and authority in each word his spoke.

Hearing his words, both Ji Chu Hua and her father were rendered speechless.

Not only them, but everyone else in the ballroom were just as shocked, especially those who were looking down on Zhuang Xie Li and his son, Zhuang Li.

No one would have thought that the two people who were dressed so poorly were actually people who held more authority than them.

Grandfather Ji turn to look at his comrade and sighs apologetically.

"This General would like to apologize to Lieutenant General Zhuang. It is this old one's fault for not disciplining his family well."

Zhuang Xie Li sighed inside. He was put in an awkward situation, but seeing how the General stood up for him, he is truly happy.

"No need to apologize. This soldier should be the one apologizing for causing this misunderstanding."

Hearing the words of his comrade, Grandfather Ji sighs and wave his hand.

"You did nothing wrong here. If anyone here feels that you are not welcome here, then they should be the one to leave."

He spoke his words in a calm manner, but everyone could hear the warning behind his words.

If anyone has something bad to say, they are no longer welcome here.

Zhuang Xie Li and his son, Zhuang Li walks over to sit down on the two empty chairs between Ji Jingxu and Gu Ting Fei.

No one dares to say another word. Everyone was afraid they'd angry the old man again, but a few guests couldn't help but steal glances at the new father and son duo.

Now they understood why it was Housekeeper Hu who personally guided the two in and was very respectful towards them.

Zhuang Xie Li, the middle-aged man is the Lieutenant General. He is the second most powerful in the military. However, unlike the General who is often seen by many, this Lieutenant General is not often seen because he likes to keep a low profile from public eyes.

Thinking this, some guests sigh in guilt while some patted themselves on the back for not disrespecting the poorly dressed man.

Like the saying goes, 'Never judge a book by its cover.'

After the scene of misunderstanding, the birthday celebration continued with no more disturbances.

Ji Shao An held his held down the entire time in shame and embarrassment.

Ji Chu Hua was able to calm herself and acted like nothing happened. She hopes that she did leave a bad impression on the Lu family, especially Lu Tian.

She would often steal glances at Lu Tian as she held a conversation with Gu Ting Fei. She made sure to brag about her achievements and everything that she owns.

However, what she did not know is that, no one cared about anything she said. Everyone at the table converse in their own discussion away from her and Ji Shao An.

Even Gu Ting Fei was being treated better as Old Lu would often through questions at him about Gu International.

Grandfather Ji decided to have the guests enjoy the celebration and entertain each other. His words allowed them to stand from their seats and move around inside the ballroom.

Suddenly, Housekeeper Hu walks up to remind Grandfather Ji to make his speech to the guests. Except, this was already the fourth time and he was told to wait a few more minutes.

A few elderly men from wealthy families crowded around Grandfather Ji to talk to him. Of course, they also didn't forget to introduce themselves to Old Lu and Zhuang Xie Li.

Ji Jingxu decided to ignore the second Ji family and chatted away with Zhuang Li.

"Bro, you didn't tell me they were this vicious."

From the side, Zhuang Li whispers to Ji Jingxu. He had heard from many that Ji Chu Hua is a dainty woman, however, seeing the way she is today, he can see why Ji Jingxu calls her a white lotus.

Even he doesn't understand why a good-looking man like Gu Ting Fei is with her.

Ji Jingxu rolled his eyes at the boy's words. He and Zhuang Li are the same age and attend the same school. Everything that happens to him, his good friend Zhuang Li knows all about it.

However looking at the way Zhuang Li is dressed, and he purse his lip.

"Why did you and your father come here looking like that?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Li furrow his brows. He thought for a second then turn to look at his father's clothes.

His father was wearing a white polo shirt with blue jeans and a green utility coat. Then he looks down at his outfit. He was wearing a black sweatshirt with the words De L'amour in white and gray woven shorts with white socks and sneakers.

Putting their clothes together, he thought they looked fine.

However, he scratch his head and chuckles.

"Ah, we thought it was going to be a small family get together. General Ji only said for us to come, he didn't tell us how we should dress."

"…"

Ji Jingxu was dumbfounded as his eyes turned heavy. He heaves a loud sigh and shook his head.

It's no wonder they came looking like that. They didn't receive an invitation but were personally invited by his old man.

Knowing his grandfather, he will invite whoever he wants and not go into details at all when it comes to the events.

Seeing the look on Ji Jingxu's face, Zhuang Li finally understood. His hand scratching his head lowers to touch his chin and he put on a thinking face.

"So that's why they kept saying my father and I are poor."

Saying this, he shrug his shoulders and place an arm over Ji Jingxu's shoulder.

"Poor or not, what's the point of dressing rich. Flaunting your wealth will only make you a target."

"…"
