Chapter 298 Millennium Turtle, Ten Thousand Years Tortoise!
Chapter 298 Millennium Turtle, Ten Thousand Years Tortoise!
Qin Jiang said indifferently, "First place among the new students, impressive is it? Others may not even take notice of you."
If he hadn't known Wen Tian's identity, should Wen Tian have invited him to any banquet, he wouldn't have even bothered with him! First place in the new student assessment, what was that really worth?
"Shut up!" Wen Tian exploded in anger. "What do you know?!"
"Are you that instructor?"
"And how do you know what they're thinking?"
"Is it your turn to speak out? Say one more word, and I'll have you thrown out immediately!"
He was full of bravado, his eyes shining with a cold light.
Qin Jiang scoffed, too lazy to argue any further. Just a tiny achievement and he's already looking down on everyone?
It seemed that his cousin in name only would have limited prospects.
With such a narrow view, yet, the world was vast.
The scene became even livelier, with many risking offense to come forward and toast Wen Tian, their attitudes extremely respectful.
Wen Tian suddenly became the center of attention, the darling of the entire gathering.
He even overshadowed Old Mr. Wen, the host of the birthday banquet.
Wen Tian didn't stand on ceremony, responding to the guests' toasts with just a light sip.
"It's unclear what their purpose is this time!"
Leading the procession was a young man with long hair and a mocking smile.
Old Mr. Wen took a deep breath, "Mr. Chen, to what do we owe the honor of your visit?"
Mr. Chen smiled playfully, "Of course, I'm here by my grandfather's command to wish the old gentleman a happy birthday."
"Not only that, but my grandfather also instructed me to prepare a generous gift to present as a birthday tribute for you."
Old Mr. Wen cursed inwardly; the old man from the Chen Family was no good thing. There were indeed conflicts between the two families, but those were matters of the past. However, once the Chen Family rose to power, they had always suppressed the Wen Family from the shadows, tripping them up at every turn.
Today, this gift sent by the old Chen, was certainly not going to be anything pleasant.
"Bring forth the Chen Family's generous gift, present it to Old Mr. Wen!"
"Jinling City's Chen Family presents a Stone Turtle, wishing Old Mr. Wen longevity and that his life be as enduring as the southern mountains!"
Having said this, four stout men followed behind him, carrying a heavy stone turtle into the hall, placing it on the ground.
Mr. Chen burst into laughter, "As the saying goes, 'a tortoise lives for a thousand years, a turtle for ten thousand.' Old Mr. Wen, you must cherish our Chen Family's gift, don't spurn our good intentions!"
The expressions of those present changed subtly.
The meaning behind the Chen Family's gesture was clear—were they not implying that Old Mr. Wen was an old turtle?
This was extremely offensive!
Old Mr. Wen trembled with anger, "The Chen Family must not push too far!"
