Chapter 380 a hard time (1/2)
”Eh, who are they? How dare they attend General Ji's birthday dressed like that?”
”Someone said they arrived at the front gate in a taxi. How embarrassing.”
”Aiya, were they even invited? Look, even the families from lower backgrounds knew how to dress appropriately.”
”Ji Mansion is not some charity place that welcomes them.”
Staring at the two people being led by Housekeeper Hu, Ji Jingxu smiles at the young boy around his age. However, hearing the whispers surface around the ballroom, his expression darkened more than ever.
He wanted to go over to each person speaking foul words and smash their heads on the table for being so stupid.
Unable to hold back his anger, he abruptly stood up, but before he could even scoot his chair back, Grandfather Ji stopped him.
With no other choice, Ji Jingxu could only remain seated and try to calm himself down. He hated people like this the most. Always judging before they even get to know the person. Aren't they scared that they might have offended the wrong person?
The middle-aged man was led by Housekeeper Hu to Grandfather Ji's table. Stopping near the old man, the middle-aged man bows with a respectful smile.
”This comrade wishes a great birthday and a long life ahead.”
Grandfather Ji nod his head in return with a satisfy smile on his face. He turn to the people sitting at his table and part his lips to introduce the new guests.
However, like it was a genetic thing from the second Ji family, Ji Shao An snort and spoke first.
”Uncle, how can you invite people like them to attend a grand banquet like this? You already invited so many from lower class backgrounds, is there any more room for them?”
”People like them?”
Grandfather Ji's eyes turned cold as he retort a question at his nephew. Even the tone of his voice had turned murderously to anyone who heard.
Although others had sensed the cold gaze from the old man, his nephew seemed to be oblivious of it. Ji Shao An scoffs aloud and cross his arms over his chest. His next words caused everyone in the ballroom to turn their heads in the direction of two new guests.
”It was supposed to be only the highest of statuses in Imperial who were invited. You were already generous enough to invite those from lower background.”
Looking at the poorly dressed middle-aged man and teenage boy, Ji Shao An felt disgusted.
”How did they even get pass the gates? If they are here to find a job at Ji Corps, they can wait until tomorrow to apply.”
Saying this, he waves at Housekeeper Hu as if to shoo them away.
”Take these two away. My Uncle does not welcome guests like them.”
Those around knew the meaning behind Ji Shao An's words. These two people who were dressed poorly were using General Ji's birthday as an excuse to get on his good side for a job.
Unlike everyone else, the expression on the Lu family turned cold and murderous at the stupid man's words. Grandfather Ji is a man who sees everyone as equal beings despite their background.
So, how is it that Ji Shao An is from the same bloodline, but he is so stupid.
The middle-aged man frowns at how he was put in an awkward situation. However, when he looked around the ballroom, he could see the weird and disgusted looks of the guests.
As if it was not already enough, Ji Shao An's words continue to add more fuel.
”Uncle, I know you are always kind to everyone, but we cannot have people like them here. It'll only ruin the joyful atmosphere we were just having.”
”Shut up!”
