Chapter 550 - Wine Struggle [1]

The words of his eldest brother, Ji Shaodong, and second brother, Ji Shalei, had indeed been answered that very night.

The Ji Clan's feast consisted of four tables, one for the woman, one for the main table, one for the third generation disciples, and one for the guests. These four tables were placed in four different rooms, and they weren't too far away from each other.

When they first started drinking, Ji Feng and the other juniors took turns toasting toasts to their seniors.

Ji Feng once again saw the Tang father and son duo, Tie Long and his son, as well as other faces that he would occasionally see on the news. Since he was able to attend this banquet, it proved that their relations.h.i.+p with the Ji Clan was definitely not ordinary.

More importantly, these people were sitting at the same table as his father, Ji Zhenhua. This was enough to show that they occupied an extremely important position within the Ji Clan.

In fact, no matter which family or faction it was, it was impossible for them to occupy all the seats. Actually, some factions, such as the Ji Clan, only had a leading role in the Ji Clan. This branch was actually a group of people who shared the same goals as each other. They had teamed up for the same purpose, or perhaps they had the same idea.

In a large faction, each individual will have a different goal or conflict of interest, but this does not prevent them from having a common goal.

Amongst them, those who were able to sit at the main table were clearly the representatives of this faction. They were also one of the more powerful ones.

Of course, these people were only a portion of the crowd. In fact, there were many jobs that they were unable to leave or that were inconvenient to visit.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood that many people were only allies with the Ji Clan. However, if it was just a simple banquet and countless important figures came, what would outsiders think? What is the Ji Clan trying to do?

Just to avoid suspicion, the Ji Clan would not allow so many people to attend the banquet!

In fact, it was not only the Ji Clan. The other clans and factions were definitely the same. They were just tacit agreement.

This time, he was being led by his big brother Ji Shaodong. Ji Feng had only followed the rules and did not lose etiquette in the slightest.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually let go of the topic. They didn't need to walk back and forth to toast the wine either. At this time, some elders would have other matters to discuss. Ji Feng and the other juniors naturally couldn't get close, so they just continued playing.

”My brothers and sisters, since this is a New Year's banquet, what we're looking for is an atmosphere of liveliness!”

On the young man's table, a young man around the age of twenty-three or twenty-four stood up with a wine cup in his hand as he said with a smile, ”Boss, let me toast you with this goblet of wine!”

Ji Shaodong smiled and also raised his wine cup. He took a sip and said, ”I don't have enough alcohol. You don't have to worry about me. You can drink if you want. Just be happy!”

”Fine, boss, then we'll make a ruckus!” The young man laughed.

Ji Shaodong smiled and waved his hand, but his heart was a little bored. What was this? Just because he was worried about his boss, did he forget that Ji Feng was the successor to the family? This provocation was simply repulsive!

Who was Ji Shaodong?

How could he not recognize such small words that sowed discord?

However, the problem was that sometimes, it wasn't a question of whether or not he understood her words. The jealousy in his heart was like a poisonous thorn. Sometimes, even if he knew that she was provoking him, he would still feel uncomfortable.

This was like saying, if a person was praising you, even if you knew that what they said was a lie, you still couldn't help but smile. You couldn't help but feel comfortable in your heart!

The thing that Ji Shaodong feared the most was that Ji Feng would feel uncomfortable upon hearing these words. If the suspicion between brothers were to arise, the thorn in his heart would be difficult to dispel.

Thinking of this, Ji Shaodong could not help but cast a glance at Ji Shaohong and Ji Shaoyan who were sitting across from him.

Ji Shaohong and Ji Shaoshan also saw Ji Shaodong's gaze. They didn't know what was going on, but they simply smiled and raised their cups to Ji Shaodong.

”Ji Feng, let us two brothers have a drink. This is the first time we've met, and everything is in the alcohol!” A young man stood up and said with a smile.

Ji Feng smiled as he nodded, ”Sure!”

He clinked a cup with the man and gulped it down!

”Good alcohol capacity!” It was not unusual for one to drink two taels of silver at a time, but don't forget, before this, Ji Feng had already consecutively drunk at least eight taels of silver and also gave toasts to the elders. He must have drank quite a bit, since he could now drink two taels of wine in one gulp.

”Bro, let's have a drink too!” Another young man also stood up, smiling as he said, ”Let me toast you!”

”I can't afford it!” Ji Feng glanced at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, causing the expression on the other party's face to change. Even the smile on his face had turned forced.

”However, I like toasts and I don't like penalty wine, so... We did it! ” Ji Feng stopped drinking and raised his head to drink.

That person was stunned, but he didn't know how to respond. He could only force a smile and drink the wine with his head raised.

”There's no need to be polite!”

Ji Feng poured himself a cup of wine and said with a smile, ”Let me toast you as well!”

That person exchanged glances with the others and revealed a complacent smile. Since Ji Feng wanted to embarra.s.s himself, he couldn't blame them. In fact, they had been wondering what reason they should use to deal with Ji Feng. But now, the latter had actually delivered himself to their doorstep …

”Come, let's drink!” The man laughed.
