The Unknown God of War

Chapter 201 The Long Wait

Although Tang Taishan’s words were casual, it sounded like a strict command in which the listener must follow obediently. Being at the top of the social hierarchy for a long time, Tang Taishan got the impression that his words were the supreme order which everyone must follow.

As he waved, Tang Taishan commented decisively, “It’s getting late now, let the wedding begin!”

Following his order, Tang’e and the Sun Family quickened their wedding preparations and arrangements with joy.

Suddenly, Zhou Ying bit her red lips and with her determined face, she protested, “No, I want to wait for my elder brother first. After he comes and helps me put on my wedding dress, then we’ll begin the wedding.”

Members of the Sun Family were so shocked by Zhou Ying’s words that their facial expression changed abruptly. How dare the little girl disobey Tang Taishan’s order?

“How rude you are!” Sun Jianye bellowed while putting on an authoritative look. “Who is your older brother, Chu Feng, to keep our honorable guest, Mr. Tang, here waiting for him? How ridiculous that is? Listen to me, let the wedding begin! We need not wait for him!”

With a smile and holding her head high up in the air, Zhou Ying insisted with a determined voice, “Uncle Jianye, it’s my wedding today and I don’t need other people telling me what to do on my wedding day. Today, I must wait for my elder brother before we start the wedding, or else, I’m not going to get married!”

Zhou Ying was tired of compromising with the Sun Family. This time, she wanted to have it her own way without caring about other people’s opinions. Her words were a real slap in the face of Tang Taishan and members of the Sun Family. Tang Taishan’s eyes flickered with an uneasy look.

“You—how inappropriately you behave—” Sun Jianye’s lips quivered with anger.

Sun Mingxuan frowned while he advised anxiously, “Yingying, what nonsense you’re talking about? Quick, apologize to grandpa!”

“You heard that? What kind of nonsense is that? She certainly doesn’t look like an obedient wife!” Infuriated, Tang’e pointed at Zhou Lie and his wife and shouted, “Zhou Lie, Liu Minglan, is this the kind of daughter you raised in your family? Aren’t you going to teach her some lessons right now?”

The hot-tempered Zhou Lie, who had had enough of the Sun Family’s arrogant disposition, snorted gruffly while smoking on his pipe. “I think my daughter has a point. I respect her decision. We can’t begin the wedding leaving behind any members of our Zhou Family.”

“You—” Tang’e was angered by Zhou Lie.

“Now, now, everything’s alright. It’s reasonable that young people like Zhou Ying have their own opinion.” Suddenly, Tang Taishan chuckled, fully expressing his generosity as a highly respected senior politician.” He casually blew into the tea inside his teacup while smiling faintly. “Very well, then, we shall wait for our little friend named Chu Feng.

I am curious myself too—exactly what kind of prominent person is this Chu Feng—to keep his fellow friends, families and notable guests waiting so long for him? Ha! Even when I served as a Lieutenant Governor, a Second Ranked Statesman fully in charge of Jiangbei, I was not nearly as arrogant as he is. Well, I suppose this little Chu Feng guy here is way more powerful and noble than I am. So, I will certainly wait for his arrival.”

Tang Taishan chuckled. Although his tone was light and casual, the meaning behind his words made the guests shiver. The guests were not fools; they fully understood Tang Taishan’s meaning. They knew Tang Taishan was unhappy with Chu Feng being late and haughty. They knew he wanted to teach an ignorant young man like Chu Feng a lesson.

Tang’e and Sun Mingxuan smiled maliciously in victory. They agreed, “Okay, we’ll wait for him.” They hoped to get even with Chu Feng using Tang Taishan’s influence.

On the other hand, Zhou Ying’s pretty face turned pale. She regretted her decision. She became worried and wondered whether what she did would cause trouble for Chu Feng.

Suddenly, the wedding became silent as the atmosphere tensed up. The guests waited patiently and looked at the drama between the Sun Family and Zhou Family. They anticipated the terrible consequences Chu Feng would face for being ignorant and arrogant.

A few girls from the Sun Family began their gossiping in low voices.

“This Chu Feng guy really thinks he is some big shot, huh? How dare he keep Mr. Tang waiting for him? Who does he think he is?”

“Ha! All of us know who Mr. Tang is. Chu Feng will be helpless and at his mercy.”

“Oh well, some people are just shallow. They just need to show off when they have some capabilities. They are so full of themselves when they can buy a wedding dress which costs a few hundreds million. How dare he keep us waiting for him? What is he hoping to do anyway? To be in the limelight?

“He doesn’t even qualify for that! Does he even have that kind of ability? To be frank, I think his mere ability is insignificant compared to Mr. Tang’s.”
