Jiang Guangshi turned around and waved to Jiang Xiuran at the main table. When Su Meng and Jiang Tingzhou returned to the banquet hall, the banquet had already begun.
But after he left her at the table, Jiang Tingzhou didn’t leave. He politely asked the rest of the guests on the table, “Mind if I add another seat here?”
Jiang Tingzhou was willing to pretend in front of outsiders, he could fool people too. Even though his attitude was casual in the past, if he wanted to put up an act, there was no flaw in his acting. He slightly bent over to ask politely. It perfectly embodied good education and gentleman attitude.
One of the elders saw him, stretched out his hand to greet him and said, “No need to add a seat. My son is out of town today and couldn’t make it. This table is not full. You can sit here.”
Jiang Tingzhou smiled and thanked him, and then sat down in a position next to Su Meng. It may be that most of the people who sat around the table were elderly people, or it may be that the old couple Ling was also on the table, so Jiang Tingzhou suppressed all the gangsterism in his body, and every move appeared appropriate and decent. Halfway through the banquet, Jiang Guang and Liang Cheng accompanied the protagonist of the banquet, Jiang Mulan, to toast from table to table. Soon, it was the turn of the table of the Loing Couple.
Jiang Guang saw Jiang Tingzhou who sat on that table. A flash of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes. Logically speaking, Jiang Tingzhou should be sitting at the main table with them. But he just sat there without even a word to his father, and he didn’t pay attention to his father at all. But in front of so many guests, he couldn’t do anything to educate his son.
Jiang Guangshi gestured to everyone with the wine glass in his hand. His glass was half filled with white wine.
“Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the sixteen-year birthday banquet of my youngest son today. I would like to toast everyone a glass first.”
After which, Jiang Guangshi drank the cup of liquor in a hurry. The guests at the tables held their glasses high in front of the venue. Su Meng was underage and couldn’t drink. So her glass was filled with some soft drink. Jiang Tingzhou didn’t drink either. His cup was filled with orange juice. After that Jiang Guangshi raised the cup, touched it to his lips perfunctorily, and took a sip. His gaze fell on Su Meng. His tone was very gentle, “My second son, Xiu, is in the same school as you, but he is two years older than you, and he will be three years older this year.”
Su Meng pursed her lips. Her hand under the table firmly grasped Jiang Tingzhou’s hand and stopped his riot. She tilted her head with a pretty expression, “Brother Jiang, I know him.”
Jiang Guangshi was a little surprised, “Oh? So you’ve heard his name long ago.”
Su Meng smiled softly, “Yes, because he is in the same year as Ah Zhou, so I heard about him from Ah Zhou.” Su Meng mentioned Jiang Tingzhou twice in that sentence to illustrate her close relationship with him. Jiang Guangshi’s eyes changed transiently. At that time, Jiang Xiuran came over to the same table.
That was the first time Su Meng saw Jiang Xiuran head-on. He and Jiang Tingzhou didn’t look alike, after all, they were just half-brother’s. In terms of appearance, the look of the two brothers Jiang Xiuran and Jiang Mulan couldn’t match the face of Jiang Tingzhou. And since Jiang Tingzhou was willing to pretend in front of outsiders, his temperament and manners didn’t lag behind those two.
Jiang Guangshi was angry, and his expression management skills were first-rate. He pretended not to have heard the closeness between her and Jiang Tingzhou and introduced Jiang Xiuran to her, “This is Xiuran, who has first-class results. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask him.”
To be honest, Su Meng was actually not very respectful to Jiang Guangshi. She knew how much of a scumbag Jiang Guangshi was and how badly he treated Jiang Tingzhou.
Su Meng’s character was peaceful, but in the face of Jiang Guangshi, she didn’t want to maintain peace like that anymore. She lowered her eyes and smiled mildly and harmlessly, but when she spoke, she refused blatantly, “No, Jiang Xiuran is in the third year of high school. He is now at a critical juncture in his studies. The college entrance examination will be in a few months. I don’t want to disturb his study at this time. And… if I have any exercises I don’t understand, I can just ask my uncle.”
When Su Meng mentioned Ling Yucheng, Jiang Guangshi had nothing to say.
“After all…”
Although Jiang Xiuran’s excellent results were his pride, he was nowhere near Ling Yucheng. Ling Yucheng was already doing research projects in his junior year, and also the leader of a project team. At his age, being able to do all that was already very remarkable.
Although Jiang Guangshi was rejected, he didn’t show the slightest expression of disappointment on his face. He smiled and said, “That’s okay. Anyway, our families live in the same compound. You two should meet first and get acquainted later.”
The corner of Jiang Tingzhou’s lips evoked an indifferent smile.
