Chapter 180 Coward
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Guo Ming showed a cold smile on his face.
Jiang is really old! The elder said this, and suddenly forced Mr. Guo into an extremely awkward situation.
If he couldn't say the reason to invite Huang Hao to sit at the main table, it would mean that he was too selfish and unfair, so he privately placed an outsider on the main table of the family banquet, thus neglecting the Guo family's own people.
Family banquets, to put it bluntly, are family gatherings. If Huang Hao is a distinguished guest with a deep background, then sitting on the main table would be legitimate, and no one would say anything inappropriate. But Huang Hao obviously has no background. During the half-day Huang Hao came, Guo Gang had already found Huang Hao's background through his own network of relationships. Naturally, he knew that this young man was not a noble person, but just an intern in H City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. A mere doctor or an intern doctor is not a high-end profession in the eyes of everyone present.
Once the head of the family cannot give a legitimate reason, the head of the family will be in a dilemma again. Either he insists on letting Huang Hao sit at the main table despite the dissatisfaction of others. In that case, the head of the family will inevitably decline significantly and the prestige of the eldest elder will definitely rise. Or the head of the family will be under pressure and ask Huang Hao to sit at another table. This will certainly calm everyone's dissatisfaction, but it will also leave everyone with the impression of "weakness and bullying", which will also affect the prestige in the family. At the same time, Huang Hao may also become dissatisfied with the head of the family.
In short, the Great Elder's move is a bad move no matter how the head of the family moves. Today's family dinner is destined to be the beginning of the head of the family losing people's hearts.
Mr. Guo's face also became gloomy. Speaking of which, he had no other intention to invite Huang Hao to sit beside him. He was just looking at this young man who always revealed a mysterious aura.
In fact, at first, he never thought about putting Huang Hao at the main table. After all, as the head of the family, how could he not know the rules of the Guo family? But before the family dinner began in the afternoon, his daughter Guo Xinrou suddenly found him and mysteriously threw him a prescription, saying that he could not buy several of the medicinal materials, so he asked him to quickly buy all the medicinal materials through his own network of relationships.
The daughter came to find her, which made Mr. Guo feel flattered. You should know that in the past, when her daughter saw her, she was like an enemy, so how could she take the initiative to do these things by herself? What made Mr. Guo even more happy was that her daughter's image had changed a lot. She had originally lost her non-mainstream dress, but instead she was wearing no makeup, and released the vitality of young people all over her body, so that she almost recognized her daughter. This is the way her daughter looks the most like her parents.
So Mr. Guo agreed to his daughter's request without asking, and he did not react until his daughter left. Why did his daughter suddenly change? This doubt completely aroused his curiosity. After his deliberate inquiry, he immediately learned that his daughter seemed to have entered Huang Hao's room in the afternoon, and then had a conflict with Guo Li and others later. Although he didn't know what his daughter had experienced in Huang Hao's room, Mr. Guo guessed that his daughter's change must have a lot to do with Huang Hao.
Sometimes, the imagination is very subtle. Under powerful curiosity, Mr. Guo even regards Huang Hao as his future son-in-law, so he lets Huang Hao sit beside him. Unexpectedly, his little thought would become the target of the great elder taking advantage of the problem.
"Great Elder, Huang Hao is bad... My father's friend, what's the matter with sitting in front of my father?" A clear voice came, but a beautiful figure stood up on a table not far away and said with dissatisfaction. It was Guo Xinrou. The years of life in young and dandy made her character very straightforward, and she immediately said anything dissatisfied.
"You are..." Seeing this person, the elder was stunned. When he came in, he did not notice the junior at Guo Xinrou's table. He suddenly saw Guo Xinrou and did not recognize him.
"Great Elder, this is a soft heart." When Mr. Guo heard that his daughter actually spoke for him, he felt so comfortable as if he had eaten ginseng fruit from Zhu Bajie.
"Is it Xinrou?" A glimmer suddenly appeared in the eyes of the elder, but the next moment, the glimmer in his eyes was well concealed by him. He smiled and said, "Xinrou changed her outfit, and I, the uncle, almost couldn't recognize it. Haha, this is like the children of my Guo family. She is so beautiful. I don't know which kid from a family will be lucky to marry such a handsome girl as you."
"Yes, girls should be so generous..." The rest of the people smiled and agreed. Obviously, compared to Guo Xinrou's previous image, they liked her refreshing dress more.
"Great Elder, don't change the topic!" Guo Xinrou obviously didn't buy it and said loudly: "Huang Hao is my father's friend, so what's wrong with sitting next to my father?"
The elder laughed dryly, and said with a serious look: "Our Guo family is a martial arts family, different from secular families. The martial arts family emphasizes generation. If even generations are in chaos, then the martial arts family will come to an end."
"But weren't there some young people sitting at the main table before?" Guo Xinrou gritted her teeth, and the persistence just now was much less. As a child of a martial arts family, how could she not understand the truth that the elder said?
The elder seemed extremely patient and slowly explained: "In the past, there were indeed some young people attending the main table at the family dinner, but those people had a huge origin, at least they were young masters similar to the Guo family or spokespersons of a certain force. If those people were not arranged at the main table, it would mean that our Guo family did not take the power behind them seriously."
"Xinrou, Uncle knows that you like this young man, but the Ghost Mansion cannot be ruined. Look, he has caused dissatisfaction among many people when he sits here." The elder said with a smile: "Although Uncle is willing to help you, I have no choice for the family rules."
"Hmph, who likes this bad guy!" Guo Xinrou snorted and retorted.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Guo Xinrou finished speaking, a very resentful voice came: "Hahaha, if you don't like it, how could you do such a miserable thing in the room of Huang Hao, the little beast in the afternoon?"
This person was Guo Li. He saw him sitting in his position with a cold expression on his face at this moment, with a thick bandage wrapped around one of his hands, looking very embarrassed.
"What did you say? Who did that miserable thing with him?" Guo Xinrou was furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and shouted fiercely, with a bit of a heroic figure among the girls.
"Of course it's you!" Guo Li said coldly: "I can see clearly that there is a pool of blood on Huang Hao's bed sheet. Do you dare to say that this pool of blood was not left by you?"
As Guo Li finished speaking, a rumor of discussion suddenly sounded in the audience. One of the individuals looked at Guo Xinrou with a strange expression and pointed at him. Some people even showed a sense of ridicule and contempt in their eyes.
"Our Guo family is very fond of a woman's chastity. Who did you allow you to give the first time to Huang Hao, a little beast?" Guo Li saw that his words suddenly aroused everyone's emotions, and a look of pride appeared on his face.
"Who do you think is the little beast?" Just as Guo Xinrou blushed and wanted to refute, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and the strong murderous aura in the voice made the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall suddenly stagnate.
Everyone looked at Huang Hao, and saw that Huang Hao had already stood up at this moment, his face was as cold as snow, and he slowly walked towards Guo Li. As an orphan, Huang Hao had thought countlessly about who his parents were and why he left him behind. Although he always felt dissatisfied and hated for his parents who abandoned him, when he heard someone scolding them, a fierce anger always arose in Huang Hao's heart. Speaking of him as a little beast is equivalent to scolding his parents and beasts!
"Huang Hao, what are you doing!" Seeing Huang Hao walking towards him coldly, a sense of fear flashed in Guo Li's eyes.
Huang Hao did not answer him, but looked at Guo Li with an extremely cold look, approaching step by step.
"Huang Hao, you are so brave!" Guo Gang saw the panic on his son's face, and knew that his son was afraid of being beaten by Huang Hao, so he shouted sternly: "Huang Hao, you are really bullying. I haven't asked you to reason with the matter of hurting my son in the afternoon. Are you going to act wild in front of so many people present?"
Huang Hao glanced at Guo Gang coldly, and a sarcastic look appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault. But judging from your bad mouth, I'm afraid you won't be able to teach your son well. Since that's the case, I will teach you your son well and let him know how to respect others in the future!"
"My son wants you to teach me?" Guo Gang shouted in a low voice with anger when he heard this, "Besides, what did my son say wrong?"
"It turns out that a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. The mouse's son can dig holes. A mouse, no matter how good he is, is still a mouse, and he can't give birth to good things!" Huang Hao sneered. At this moment, he was about to walk to Guo Li.
"It's outrageous. The child of Huang's mouth is talking nonsense. Let me see how I teach you a lesson!" After being sarcastic by Huang Hao, Guo Gang's violent temper suddenly rose. He shouted softly, his body suddenly approached Huang Hao, and his palm-like slap "screaming" towards Huang Hao's cheek.
