Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 255 Only If Someone Lets You

Murong Ziqi was frustrated. He had indeed called someone, but only Boss Yang. After all, the people he knew were only on Boss Yang’s level; he couldn’t summon anyone higher.

But what’s going on now? Murong Ziqi was genuinely puzzled. Suddenly, he considered a possibility. These people might be Boss Yang’s business associates.

Boss Yang came from a great family with extensive business interests. Xiao Liang, Xiao Tianzan, Zheng Tianshi, and the others also had something in common: they all ran businesses. At this thought, a slight smile appeared on Murong Ziqi’s face. Old Yang, you truly are my friend. I only called you, yet you brought so many people with you.

Murong Ziqi immediately looked at Boss Yang and said, "Thank you."

Boss Yang, thinking Murong Ziqi was thanking him for his arrival, immediately smiled. "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare."

He normally had nothing to be so humble about, but now? The Cui Family of Qinghe, the governor of Southern Province... all these people are here. Goodness, this isn’t some ordinary person’s birthday party. It’s practically a birthday for one of the nation’s top leaders! How else could this be happening?

But hearing Boss Yang say, "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare," only deepened Murong Ziqi’s misunderstanding, making him even more certain that Boss Yang had invited his friends. He found Boss Yang more and more agreeable, unlike Wu Tian. If everyone were like Boss Yang, how could the Murong Family’s great cause ever fail to be accomplished?

Just then, Murong Guangfu coughed and said, "Boss Yang, Ziqi, these are all important figures. Since they’ve honored us by coming here for my little sister’s birthday, we must go and greet them personally."

"Of course," Boss Yang and Murong Ziqi both nodded.

They walked toward Cui Chong and the others, who were just entering through the main gate. As it happened, Cui Chong’s group had gathered together by coincidence. Xiao Liang knew Cui Chong, so they walked in together, while Zheng Tianshi walked separately with Hong Mei.

Still, they were all inwardly surprised. Why would the others be attending Wu Tian’s mother’s birthday banquet?

Cui Chong and Xiao Liang knew because the little one had posted a message on Wu Tian’s social media feed. Zheng Tianshi and Hong Mei, on the other hand, found out through their own inquiries. They were very concerned about Wu Tian, the descendant of the Prime Minister, and had spent the last few days gathering information.

"Your reputations precede you. Your presence truly honors my Murong Family," Murong Guangfu said, his face glowing. He felt that these people—Cui Chong, Xiao Liang, and Zheng Tianshi—would all become assets to the Murong Family. Restoring our nation is no longer a dream.

But Zheng Tianshi and the others had investigated the Murong Family before coming, and they were not pleased with what the family had done to Wu Tian.

"I, Zheng Tianshi, didn’t come for your damn Murong Family," he huffed, walking directly toward Wu Tian and Murong Yezi with Hong Mei.

Xiao Liang and the others completely ignored Murong Guangfu and walked past him.

Murong Guangfu was left standing there awkwardly. Murong Ziqi and Boss Yang were simply stunned.

Zheng Tianshi and Hong Mei walked right up to Wu Tian, looking at him with the fond gaze of elders looking upon a junior. Their affection grew even stronger when they saw the little one. That look made Wu Tian feel a bit helpless, but the little one was delighted.

"Are you looking at me like that because you think I’m really cute?" he asked.

"Yes, yes, yes," Zheng Tianshi and Hong Mei immediately nodded.

The little one nodded back, an adorably smug expression on his face that seemed to say, "Just as I thought." This only made Zheng Tianshi and Hong Mei adore him even more.

"You are..." Murong Yezi trailed off, surprised. Why are the patriarch and matriarch of the Zheng Family here? The Five Surnames and Seven Families... such noble existences.

Zheng Tianshi sized up Murong Yezi and said gratefully, "Thank you for bearing a child for the Wu Family. Thank you very much." After speaking, he gave Murong Yezi a military salute.

The old married couple started bickering right there and then, leaving Cui Chong and the others speechless. This was especially true for Cui Chong, the true authority holder of the Cui Family of Qinghe. He never expected the head of the Zheng Family of Xingyang to be like this. But somehow, Cui Chong found himself feeling envious. He and Tellam still had feelings for each other, but they were both serious, formal people, lacking the sweet, affectionate bickering that Zheng Tianshi and Hong Mei shared.

Seeing this, Murong Guangfu thought to himself, Could it be that these important people came to the wrong place? Are they here to celebrate someone else’s birthday?
