Chapter 199
“Look, all of you! Huh, dear in-laws, look at this group of people. Somebody who doesn't know better would think that we have an event to help those in need.”
The Sun family relatives held their heads up high and laughed proudly.
As for Liu Minglan and the Zhou family relatives, they lowered their heads out of embarrassment and low self-esteem. They were mostly just ordinary people and they had never seen so many big shots before.
Zhou Lie kept the pipe in his mouth and snorted. “Our family has always been pragmatic and simple. We don’t engage in all those pointless games. We don’t bother dressing up ourselves but still act like dreadful people, because that would be what I call, truly embarrassing.”
Tang’e suddenly had her expression darkened. The surrounding atmosphere also became awkward. What this old man said was simply infuriating.
“This is really unbelievable. I can’t communicate with him.” Tang’e was defeated, so she snorted unhappily and left.
Just then, Sun Mingxuan walked over and said worriedly, “Mum, it’s already ten-thirty in the morning. The ceremony is starting really soon, but why is grandfather not here yet?”
“Son, don’t worry. Grandfather will definitely be here to support you. He will make a grand entrance.” Tang’e was extremely confident.
Honk honk honk! Just then, the loud honking of a car could be heard. The guests frowned; this was the hotel’s garden, not the parking lot. Who was so bold as to drive here?
Some people raised their heads to look. Suddenly, they were stunned and very surprised.
The car was an ordinary black Audi A6; any of the Sun family’s guests there could easily buy ten or eight of those.
However, what was important was the car number plate—’Jiang A00001’! C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
This was the car of the Mayor of Jiangling City. Was the Mayor of Jiangling City here?
Everybody there was stunned. An elegant man who was wearing simple office wear and gold- rimmed glasses stepped out of the car.
He respectfully opened the door of the back seat and helped the person inside to come out.
One of the Sun family’s relatives immediately recognized the man with the glasses. “That is Secretary Wang, the Mayor’s most trusted secretary. He is someone who could represent the Mayor on occasions. Even a bigshot like him came?”
“Secretary Wang is personally opening the car door, so who could it be inside? Such a big shot?”
Everybody was full of anticipation, as they looked on excitedly. Next, an old man with snowy white hair and a fit body stepped out of the car. He looked friendly, and yet he exuded a powerful demeanor.
“Hehe, you’re all here. It’s crowded!”
Tang’e was instantly very surprised. She rushed over. “Dad!”
Gasp! The people in the crowd all inhaled sharply—this was Tang Taishan!
He was a retired Lieutenant Governor of Jiangbei, a Second Ranked Statesman. He was the highly respected Tang Taishan who had disciples everywhere; no wonder there was such grandeur at the event.
“Mr. Tang!”
“How are you, Mr. Tang?”
The surrounding crowd all stood up straight and parted ways for him to pass. They all had respectful expressions on their faces; they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
Sun Mingxuan and Tang’e, mother and son, helped the old man as they walked, looking haughty with their heads held high, as if the old man was a new emperor ascending the throne; there was unspeakable pride and prestige.
How many years had it been since the Sun family had this kind of prestige.
It was really exciting.
Under the respectful gaze of the crowd, Sun Mingxuan helped to support Tang Taishan. His heart fluttered; he felt as if he was dreaming.
To ride in Jiangling City’s Number One car, to have Secretary Wang personally open the car door for him, and to have even all the powerful people at the event had to get up and nervously greet him; this was such unrivalled prestige and pride!
At this moment, Sun Mingxuan finally experienced real power, and it felt really good.
“Hehe, sit. Please sit.” Tang Taishan smiled and waved his hand. He seemed to have naturally assumed that he was the owner of the event as he patted Sun Mingxuan’s hand and said, “Today is my grandson, Mingxuan’s wedding ceremony. It’s a joyous occasion. Thank you all, friends and family, for your wishes. I am touched.”
