Chapter 489 My Wife and Her Friends


The banquet was very rich.
The villagers finally had a chance to try the dishes from a famous hotel in the county town.
They didn’t think they’d have the chance in their lives.

For them, the hotel in the county town felt a little scary when they walked into it.
That place was too luxurious.
They felt so uncomfortable even when walking past it.
Plus, the expenditure there was high.
It cost 10 to 20 to eat a vegetable.
It was almost as much as their daily wages.
How could they afford it?

But today was different.

It was said that Xiao Zhengyang’s family had invited the biggest hotel in the county to deliver food to the banquet.

The dishes in that hotel were the best in the county.
They were extremely popular.

“Is this braised pork balls?”

“Yes, it is.”

“What… What kind of fish is this? Why does it have a salty taste? It’s a little fishy, but it’s very delicious.”

“This is a hairtail.
I heard that it’s from the

sea.”

“I heard from Zhengyang that the restaurant has provided eight dishes, and six of them are seafood.
This hairtail is one of them.”

“I’ve heard people on TV say how delicious seafood is.
I can finally taste some today.”

“Yea.
Today is a great day.”

Soon, the dishes were served.

Braised prawns, oyster with garlic, braised fish, fried small yellow croaker, steamed silver cod with mushrooms, and steamed clams with wine.
These were all seafood.

Then came the meat dishes like beer duck, braised pork with plum vegetables, braised pork balls, braised chicken with shiitake mushrooms, braised beef brisket with radish, and a big bone soup.

The braised pork balls and beef brisket were from the hotel.
The remaining were made by Mother Xiao.

The Xiao family’s banquet was really sumptuous.
Whether it was the villagers or the guests from outside, they all ate happily with their mouths full of oil.

The villagers were very surprised by the seafood and ate happily.

As some people might be allergic to seafood, the Xiao family had warned the villagers to stop eating seafood immediately if they felt unwell after eating it.
In severe cases, they would have to be sent to the hospital for treatment.


The guests from outside the village were full of praise for the dishes made by Mother Xiao.
The dishes made by Uncle Chen were already very delicious.
They didn’t expect there would be a countrywoman who could cook as well as him.

“Mother Xiao’s cooking is very delicious!” Grandma Song wiped her mouth.

The dishes that Mother Xiao made looked ordinary, but the taste was really good.

They felt a sense of home and love from the dishes.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that the dishes were different from the others.

Gu Ziye and the others had eaten the dishes cooked by Mother Xiao before.
The taste was unforgettable to them.

They also enjoyed themselves at the banquet.

“Why do I feel that Auntie’s cooking skills are getting better and better?” Zheng Haiyang said.

“Yeah, yeah, I think so too.” Qian Yifan nodded in agreement.

“But why do I feel like crying when I eat this beer duck?” Yuan Xuanhao said as he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“You can’t stand spicy food, so of course, you’re getting teary.” Qian Yifan said matter-of-factly.

“No, it’s not like that.” Yuan Xuanhao shook his head and said, “When I eat this dish, I feel a kind of mother’s love.”

“Now that you mention it, I have the same feeling,” Gu Ziye said.

“I also have the same feeling.” The other three agreed.

“The reason why Auntie Chen’s dishes are so delicious is that when she cooks, she puts her own feelings into it.
Therefore, people who eat the dishes can taste love from her cooking.”

The others nodded in agreement, ‘You’re right.”

“The Xiao family is a very happy, friendly, and united family.
Therefore, their cooking is naturally full of love.”

“Yes, yes.”

The Xiao family set up a total of 46 tables.

Every table was basically filled.

Almost every table was filled with people fighting over the dishes.
It was so lively!


Of course, those who came to eat at the banquet had a sense of propriety.
They wouldn’t fight until there was an actual altercation.

Traditionally, the bride and groom would go around the venue to toast each table.

However, everyone knew about Xiao Lingyu’s situation.

As for Gong Tianhao, his cold personality deterred many villagers.
They didn’t dare to talk to him normally.
They didn’t expect him to come to toast them either.

Everyone knew that the Gong family was rich.
Therefore, it was expected for Young Master Gong to be quite arrogant.

Of course, the Xiao family did not force Gong Tianhao to toast every table either.

However, after Gong Tianhao heard about Xiao Lingyu’s friends, he wanted to meet them.
In fact, he was a little jealous and wanted to get involved in Xiao Lingyu’s social circle.
His wife’s friends were all men.
He would not be at ease if he did not get to the bottom of it.

Of course, he wouldn’t limit his wife’s freedom because of his jealousy.

He knew Xiao Lingyu very well.
He knew that she had great ambition and a strong ambition for her career.
Naturally, she had to have a certain network and social circle.

He was already the richest person in the country.
Even if his wife stayed at home, she would enjoy endless wealth and envy.
However, Xiao Lingyu was not a canary in his cage.
He wouldn’t do that to her either.

He only wanted to make her happy.
In the future, whether Xiao Lingyu wanted to be a rich lady or a strong woman with a career, he would support her.

Gong Tianhao held a wine glass and came to Xiao Lingyu’s friend’s table.

Mother Xiao smiled and introduced them, “Tianhao, they are all Yu ‘Er’s friends in the county.
This is Gu Ziye, Zheng Haiyang, Qian Yifan, and Yuan Xuanhao.”

“Ziye, Haiyang, Yifan, and Xuanhao.
This is my Yu ‘Er’s husband, Gong Tianhao.
Previously, he said that he wanted to meet Yu ‘Er’s friend.
Yu ‘Er isn’t feeling well right now, so Auntie brought him here to introduce him to you.”

“Hello!” Gong Tianhao greeted them in a slightly hoarse, magnetic, and cold voice.
Facing Xiao Lingyu’s male friends, the slightly jealous Gong Tianhao released his aura as a business emperor.
However, Gong Tianhao swore that he really only released a little bit of his aura.

After all, they were his wife’s friends, so he couldn’t go overboard.

However, Gong Tianhao knew very well that this tiny bit of power was very intimidating to these people from the small county.

Gu Ziye and the other three had a certain amount of power in the county’s business.

However, when they faced a real business emperor, their status was equivalent to that of a commoner and an emperor.
Hence, Gu Ziye and the other three felt the pressure coming from Gong Tianhao, and their eyebrows jumped.

This man’s aura was so strong.


With just a look, tone, and aura, they felt a strong sense of pressure even though the four of them were successful businessmen themselves.

Gu Ziye and the other three sat up from their seats, held their wine glasses, and said to Gong Tianhao with a smile, “Congratulations! We’ll toast the groom.
We wish you and the bride a happy marriage of a hundred years!”

Gu Ziye and the other three finished the toast.

Gong Tianhao nodded and smiled at the four of them.
He said, “I’ve heard about you from Yu ‘Er.
Thank you for taking care of my wife.”

“Of course, of course.
We’re friends with Xiao Lingyu.” Gu Ziye and the other two said humbly, “Besides, we have a lot of cooperation with Xiao Lingyu.
It’s mutually beneficial.”

At this point, Gu Ziye said sincerely, “Speaking of which, Xiao Lingyu has helped me a lot.
If it weren’t for Xiao Lingyu, there wouldn’t be the Gu family hotel today! Xiao Lingyu is the Gu family’s benefactor!”

Gu Ziye was telling the truth.

Gong Tianhao nodded, “It’s good that you remember that!”

Gu Ziye, “…”

The others, “…”

Gu Ziye was being humble, but Gong Tianhao took it seriously.
They didn’t know what to

say.

Gong Tianhao said again, “Since you’re my wife’s friends, then you’re my friends.
Now, let me toast to you.”

Gong Tianhao had given Xiao Lingyu the greatest respect by doing so.
Otherwise, with his high and mighty status, there was no need for him to come to these small figures to give a toast.

The four of them immediately returned the toast.

Then, Gong Tianhao said, “In the future, if you encounter any major difficulties and need my help, you can directly come to my parents-in-law to inform them.”

Gu Ziye and the other three, “…” Sir, what really is your identity? Gu Ziye and the other three immediately said cautiously, “Okay, thank you!”

They would not reject Gong Tianhao’s good intentions.

From the pomp and circumstance of this wedding, one could tell that Gong Tianhao was someone who was rich or noble.
People from small counties like them could not compare to him.

Even if the four of them had their statuses in Xing Yin County, there were times that they would need help too.


In the future, when the four knew of Gong Tianhao’s identity, they were extremely shocked.

After Gong Tianhao met the four of them, he left.
As for the others, his grandfather and a group of subordinates went to greet them.

He desperately wanted to return to the bridal room.
He was worried that Yu ‘Er was tired.
She was pregnant, and she had been busy since dawn.
She didn’t have any time to rest until just now.

After half a day of torment, she must be extremely tired.

He was worried and had to go back to take a look.

The bridal room was arranged int he Gong Family.

After all, if the bridal room were at the Xiao Family’s, it would be quite a humiliation to the Gong Family.

Gong Tianhao returned to the Gong family.

Since it was banquet time, the normally bustling Gong Family was quiet.
Only a few guards were left behind.
The things at the Gong Family were valuable.
This was to prevent petty thefts.

Today was Gong Tianhao’s big day.
Old Master Gong was very happy.
He also went to the ancestral hall to join in the fun.

Now that the old man’s health was better, Gong Tianhao allowed him to indulge himself occasionally.

Moreover, Old Master Gong was in a good mood today.

“Boss!”

The people guarding the courtyard immediately greeted Gong Tianhao when they saw him.

Gong Tianhao nodded and said for the first time, “Mm, thank you for your hard work!”

Then, he strode into the bridal room, leaving behind a shocked subordinate.

When he came back to his senses, he muttered, “Boss has changed a lot after marriage.
Boss used to be so cold, but now he’s quite humane.”

His friend exclaimed, “The Madam is really powerful.”

The most successful man conquered the whole world!

And the most successful woman was the woman who conquered the man who conquered the whole world!

Their Madam was the most successful

woman.
