The younger cousin's sister kept her head down, playing with her phone, not saying a word. Occasionally, she would look up, her attitude extremely cold, the same towards the elder sister, but slightly better towards the niece, occasionally smiling.
When Fang Tianfeng was a child, he had a good relationship with this cousin sister, playing and fooling around together, so he took the initiative to say a few words, but she only gave brief responses.
Fang Tianfeng felt a bit disappointed; the child who used to be so cute had changed so much.
Fang Tianfeng wanted to find his cousin brother to say something, but Fang Tiantai was surrounded by a group of drunk men and couldn't get away. He could only wait.
The elder sister was kind and included Fang Tianfeng in the conversation, but at this table, Fang Tianfeng was only familiar with three people; the others were not familiar, and they had nothing in common to talk about.
From time to time, elders would pass by and greet Fang Tianfeng, who would stand up and say a few words. The relationship had long become distant, but they had to maintain a good appearance.
Several female elders asked Fang Tianfeng about his work, income, and girlfriend, but he dodged the questions, not wanting to say too much. After all, he couldn't tell his relatives that he was a fortune-teller, Master Fang.
Fang Tianfeng slowly drank mineral water or juice, quickly filling his stomach with water.
Fang Tianfeng got up to go to the restroom. When he came out, he saw his aunt not far away. She immediately asked about his well-being and started talking about Fang Tianfeng's parents, and both of them had red eyes.
When his mother passed away, his aunt had come to help, and Fang Tianfeng remembered her kindness.
After a while, the aunt wiped her eyes and said with a smile, "Today is a happy day, let's not talk about this. How are you now?"
"Pretty good, don't worry about me," Fang Tianfeng said.
The aunt sighed and said, "Your parents and your second uncle's couple have always had a bad relationship, but it's all past. Don't take it too seriously. In the future, there will only be a few of us left in the Fang family. If anything happens, try to help each other. You said you don't have a job, do you need me to help you find one? Your brother-in-law can help."
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt. I already have plans, and I'll find a job in a few days."
The aunt nodded and said, "It's not easy for you to live alone. If you have any difficulties, come back to us. We can't help with big things, but we can definitely help with small things."
"Thank you, Aunt."
The aunt looked at Fang Tianfeng with a smile and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes," Fang Tianfeng didn't want to get involved in the trouble of relatives setting him up.
"Why didn't you bring her?"
"She's a bit busy."
The aunt asked Fang Tianfeng about his recent situation, but when he dodged the questions, she asked about other things. The aunt was a good person, and Fang Tianfeng couldn't refuse, so they talked for a while before she left.
When he returned to his seat, Fang Tianfeng noticed that the others were looking at him differently. The elder sister was a bit awkward, but still better.
The younger cousin brother tried to hide it, but still showed a bit of disdain. As for the younger cousin sister, her coldness had turned to disgust, and she only glanced at Fang Tianfeng once and then ignored him.
People at nearby tables, whether they knew him or not, looked at him with strange eyes.
Fang Tianfeng frowned, not understanding why their attitudes had changed so much in just a few minutes.
The elder sister said, "Xiaofang, your brother-in-law is in sales. It's a bit hard and tiring, but he earns a lot every month. If you're willing, you can work with your brother-in-law. What do you think?"
Fang Tianfeng immediately said, "Thank you, elder sister. I already have a direction for my work and will have it settled in a few days."
The elder sister sighed and said, "Alright, then. Write down my phone number. If you need anything, call me."
"Okay," Fang Tianfeng wrote down the phone number the elder sister gave him.
The younger cousin brother and sister were indifferent, as if they didn't know anything.
At this moment, a voice not far away said, "Xiaofeng, you're here!"
Fang Tianfeng immediately stood up, looking in the direction of the voice, smiling.
"Brother Tiantai."
Fang Tiantai had drunk a lot of alcohol, his face red, and he was holding his wife, who was dressed in red. He said, "This is the Xiaofeng I told you about! He's been smart since he was a child, smarter than anyone! This is your sister-in-law, isn't she beautiful?"
Fang Tiantai's wife was a bit shy and nodded at Fang Tianfeng. Fang Tianfeng immediately said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Tiantai, I wish you a hundred years of happiness and a quick addition to the family."
Fang Tiantai laughed and said, "We already have one! We got married because of the baby."
Fang Tiantai's wife blushed, glared at Fang Tiantai, and then happily touched her belly.
"That's even better," Fang Tianfeng said with a smile.
At this moment, someone called Fang Tiantai's name from a distance. Fang Tiantai looked back, put his hand on Fang Tianfeng's shoulder, and said, "Xiaofeng, I'm really happy you came. No matter what, you coming means you consider me your brother. You don't have to care what others say. Today is my wedding, and I'm the most important! You're my brother, and no one can say anything bad about you!"
Fang Tianfeng realized something was wrong and was about to ask, but Fang Tiantai was pulled away.
"Xiaofeng, don't leave. Let's have a drink tonight!" Fang Tiantai waved at Fang Tianfeng and was then pulled away.
Fang Tianfeng frowned, looked around the hall, and soon noticed a woman in her fifties, who was overweight, looking at him. The woman had a cold expression, and when Fang Tianfeng looked at her, she seemed to have just noticed him, and with a surprised and happy expression, she walked over.
Fang Tianfeng stood up and said, "Aunt, it's been a long time. You still look so young."
Aunt Fang came over, and several tables around them looked over as if they had agreed in advance.
Aunt Fang was extremely热情, smiling and said, "Xiaofeng, I thought you wouldn't come. Wow, you've grown taller and more handsome. You look so energetic; your job must be good. What do you do?"
"I just quit and am looking for a job," Fang Tianfeng said.
Aunt Fang showed a regretful expression and said, "I can help you find a job. My son Tiantai works at a seafood company, and my sister-in-law's uncle is the boss. If you're willing, you can start as a mover, earning 800 a month, with food and lodging provided. What do you think?"
Fang Tianfeng looked at Aunt Fang calmly and said, "Thank you, Aunt, but I can find a job on my own."
Aunt Fang smiled and said, "We're family, don't be so formal. By the way, I heard you sold your house. Do you have a place to live now?"
"Yes," Fang Tianfeng answered calmly.
Aunt Fang smiled and said, "Xiaofeng, you're so tough. You have nothing, but you don't care at all. If it were me, I would have hanged myself long ago. Oops, that's not a good thing to say on a happy day. Don't be mad at Aunt."
Fang Tianfeng glanced at Fang Tiantai, who was being forced to drink, and didn't say anything.
The elder sister smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Xiaofeng, Lily likes you. Come and give her a hug."
The little niece immediately giggled, stretching out her arms, and said, "Uncle! Hug!"
Fang Tianfeng was about to hug her, but Aunt Fang said sharply, "Be careful. Lily is still young and can't withstand the evil influence of a misfortune star."
Fang Tianfeng looked at the drunk Fang Tiantai again and then at Aunt Fang, saying, "Aunt, I know you have a grudge against my parents. But they have passed away. Why do you still hold a grudge? Even if you do, you've said enough!"
Aunt Fang no longer hid her feelings and sneered, "I want to know where you get the nerve to talk to me like that! Everyone, let's judge. This is Fang Tianfeng, who came here without giving any gift money, eating and drinking for free, and still has the nerve to talk to me! What do you think?"
Everyone looked over, and the eyes that looked at Fang Tianfeng were full of strange expressions. Some people whispered and pointed, while others continued to drink and chat, not hearing. Fang Tiantai saw the problem and hurried over.
Fang Tianfeng suddenly understood why the others had looked at him that way. It must have been because Aunt Fang had said something earlier.
At this moment, someone walked over and asked with a smile, "Master Fang, did I come too late?"
Fang Tianfeng turned and saw Zhang Bowen, saying helplessly, "President Zhang, if you had come any later, I would have been kicked out. Aunt said I was eating and drinking for free, and I had no face to stay."
President Zhang frowned, looked at Aunt Fang, and said angrily, "You dare to say Master Fang is eating and drinking for free?"
Aunt Fang said bluntly, "Master Fang? When did he change his name? What's wrong with saying he's eating and drinking for free? Ask the people around, who is like him, coming without a penny, just sitting there and eating and drinking. I always thought he was lazy and greedy, leading my son Tiantai astray. And he's still like this now. Pah!"
Fang Tiantai, who had just walked over, said angrily, "Mom, how can you talk like that? Xiaofeng's family is in a difficult situation, but who knows what will happen in the future? Is it necessary to say it in front of everyone? He is still part of our Fang family, and he came to my wedding. What will others think of our family!"
Aunt Fang said loudly, "I don't care what others think! You're getting married, and he comes empty-handed, eating and drinking for free. Can't I say a few words? If people like him can come, what's the wedding for? We might as well invite beggars and scavengers!"
"He might have come in a hurry and forgotten to bring money. He can make it up next time. Everyone has tough times! Last time, I covered for him, and he didn't say a word," Fang Tiantai was really upset and felt very uncomfortable.
Fang Tiantai looked at Fang Tianfeng with a guilty expression and said, "Xiaofeng, you know my mom can be a bit crazy. Don't mind her."
Zhang Bowen was furious and asked Aunt Fang, "Are you Master Fang's elder? If not, how dare you insult Master Fang? Do you want me to make you leave here in a stretcher?"
Aunt Fang sneered, "Who are you? Are you the one Fang Tianfeng hired for a few dozen dollars to flatter him? Make me leave in a stretcher? If you can, come on! Come on!"
Fang Tianfeng was about to speak when a middle-aged man shouted from a distance, "President Zhang, what wind brought you here?" The man quickly ran over, slightly bent, and extended his hands to shake hands with Zhang Bowen.
Fang Tianfeng recognized him as the bride's uncle, his cousin brother's boss, and the owner of the seafood company, Mr. Jin.
Everyone at the banquet table looked over curiously, wondering who could make Mr. Jin so polite, as throughout the banquet, everyone was polite to Mr. Jin, and even the manager of the Tianyue Hotel was treated as an equal, not with such respect.
Zhang Bowen did not extend his hand and asked, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man quickly said, "I'm Little Jin, the owner of Jinxin Seafood. The seafood for the Tianyue Hotel has always been supplied by my company. Thanks to your words, I was able to turn things around, so I always choose the Tianyue Hotel for my relatives' and friends' weddings."
Zhang Bowen finally remembered and extended his hand, smiling, "It's Mr. Jin, nice to see you again." He had met Mr. Jin once before, when Mr. Jin was very down and out, a far cry from today.
Aunt Fang was terrified, knowing Mr. Jin's status, and never imagined that President Zhang would be even more influential than Mr. Jin. Her mind went blank.
Mr. Jin smiled and said, "I never see you at weddings, but your presence at my niece's wedding is an honor for our whole family. As the most distinguished guest at the wedding, you must say a few words to bless the newlyweds."
Zhang Bowen's face suddenly turned serious, and he coldly said, "Most distinguished? The most distinguished guest here is not me, but Master Fang, who is about to be kicked out!"
