Chapter 1126 (1/2)
Chapter 265: Mid-Houtian realm? I am!
Shen Jiucheng and his wife were at the front, Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi were slightly behind, while Ji Feng and the White Spider were at the back. Other than Shen Jiucheng and his group, Ji Feng and Zhang Lei were all very relaxed.
However, Shen Jingyi was very nervous. She secretly decided that even if she had to endure the family's laws, she had to protect Zhang Lei.
As soon as they entered, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Ji Feng and the rest were also observing the people sitting in the main hall. Sitting in the main hall were two old men with white hair. These two old men had sharp eyes and their bodies were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vigor. They were obviously two experts.
Looking at the others, they too had different auras and spirits from ordinary people. Clearly, they were all pract.i.tioners.
The layout of the hall was slightly different from that of the other villas. The people visiting here were all solid wooden chairs, and there were also four big tables. It looked very simple and unadorned.
Aside from the two old men in the main seats, there were more than ten people sitting on both sides, both men and women.
The most eye-catching ones were the few women sitting on the left. There were middle-aged women and also a few young women. However, without exception, these women all had expressions of disdain in their eyes.
However, facing the stares from the crowd, Zhang Lei was calm. Since he came today, he was mentally prepared for it. Moreover, he was very clear on his goal. Today, he wasn't here to be watched by anyone, but to steal his wife!
”Father, Second Uncle!” After entering the Main Hall, Shen Jiucheng greeted the two old men sitting in the main seat, then sat down with his wife at the bottom of one of the old men's seats.
Ji Feng and the others were able to tell that the old man should be the current head of the Shen family. At the same time, he was also the chairman of the Shen Group, Shen Wanzhen.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jingyi secretly nudged Zhang Lei. The two of them walked up together and greeted the two elders.
”Grandfather, Second Master, he's Zhang Lei, he's my … It's my boyfriend! ” Shen Jingyi's tone was somewhat nervous. She turned her head and said to Zhang Lei, ”Zhang Lei, quickly greet grandpa and Second Master!”
Zhang Lei nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the elder beside Shen Wanzhen say: ”No need!”
Ji Feng's brows slightly creased. Indeed, as soon as they arrived, some of them had already displayed their ill intent.
”Your name is Zhang Lei, right?” At this moment, a middle-aged woman spoke up, ”Did Jingyi tell you that she is already engaged? It's not appropriate for you to be in love with her, is it? ”
”Hehe …”
Zhang Lei chuckled. Sure enough, just as he started, someone had already impatiently jumped out.
He lightly said, ”Jingyi's engagement, she only said it verbally, it can't be a golden law, can it? If I was in love with Jingyi, it would naturally be a mutual love. Today, I came to pay a visit to the seniors. ”
He did not say that he and Shen Jingyi had true feelings for each other. He did not say that the current era was different and that he should not abide by the old traditions and such. Zhang Lei knew very well that there was no use in saying all this, because these people didn't plan on giving him a chance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have jumped out so quickly.
Thus, Zhang Lei could only try his best to show his respect. As for requesting the consent of these elders to be together with Shen Jing …
He had never thought that even if he knelt down and prayed for her, it would be of no use. On the contrary, he would even be mocked by her. Thus, from the start, Zhang Lei had never intended to ask anything. If he wanted to compete, then he would have to rely on his own strength!
”Pay a visit to the elders?” The middle-aged woman scoffed, ”No one is your elder here. We have yet to agree to the matter between you and Jingyi!”
”You're Jingyi's mother?” Zhang Lei asked with a smile.
The middle-aged woman was slightly shocked, but immediately shook her head and said, ”No!”
”Then you're Jingyi's grandmother?” Zhang Lei asked again.
”... What do you want to say?! ” The middle-aged woman could tell that something was wrong, so she couldn't help but ask in a high-pitched voice.
Zhang Lei smiled and said, ”I know that the Shen family is a martial arts family, and is a family that follows the traditions of China. I also follow the traditions of China. But, even if it's the old tradition, those two people's marriage is about their parents' orders. You aren't Jingyi's mother, and you aren't Jingyi's grandmother, but you're probably just some random aunt or something like that, and Jingyi's marriage requires your consent?! ”
”You …” The middle-aged woman's face instantly flushed red. She pointed at Zhang Lei, so angry that she couldn't speak.
But Zhang Lei acted as if he didn't see it. He lightly smiled and said, ”Moreover, there's still Jingyi's grandfather here, and he hasn't even spoken yet, yet you impatiently jumped out to say something. I think that the Shen family should be a very well-educated family, you should apologize to the old man!”
”You … ”You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” The middle-aged woman was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Zhang Lei's tone was very calm, but every sentence was reasonable. She couldn't find any fault with it, and she couldn't even say a word to retaliate.
However, to be called uncultured by a brat, this … this was enough to anger someone to death!
It wasn't just this middle-aged woman, but almost everyone in the hall was enraged. This brat was too arrogant. It was as if he didn't put everyone in his eyes at all when he said the old gramps was present!
However, there were also people who looked at Zhang Lei with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
This young man had a smile on his face when he spoke, seemingly without the slightest anger. However, his words were so fierce that it was impossible for others to defend against them. It was as if he had slapped the middle-aged woman in the face.
This person was not simple!
A few people who understood the situation couldn't help but have this kind of thought in their hearts.
Of course, no matter where one was, there were very few people who understood, so at this moment, the hall was filled with rage.
”Zhang Lei, stop it!” Shen Jingbin was also incomparably nervous. She quickly pulled at Zhang Lei, afraid that he would say something too excessive. When the time came, it would only cause the matter to become even more tense and might even force others to use force.
Zhang Lei merely patted her hands as he chuckled, ”Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.”
