Chapter 782 - A Poor Elderly Soldier
Chapter 782: A Poor Elderly Soldier
Huang Yuhan was just about to retort this elder cousin who should totally stop acting like a wet blanket when Leng Jinpeng stood up. He could not stand this anymore.
“This young lady from the Huang family, please refrain from using words like ‘piss pot’ to insult our military wife. Since you claim to be a socialite, please act like one. A socialite’s actions represent her family’s identity. You keep bringing up that you’re a young lady of the Huang family, and that the Huang family is a second-tier wealthy family. However, forgive me for not being able to tell from your demeanor. In my eyes, the Huang family is just a little family with no reputable background, no substance, and no basic etiquette—absolute scum of society.”
Hearing Leng Jinpeng’s words, Huang Yuhan’s expression started to distort. She hissed angrily, “What right do you have to say that about me? Since you’re sitting at the back, that means you’re just a little military officer. Don’t tell me you’re the company commander or battalion commander to this poor soldier? Hold on, let me correct myself—you don’t have anything on your epaulet, do you? Not a single star. So, you’re not even a second lieutenant? Tsk tsk, you’re already so old, yet you’re not even a second lieutenant. What right do you have to educate me?”
Zhong Qianqian, “…”
Gu Mingzhe, “…”
Leng Jinpeng, “…”
Everyone, “…!!!”
Everyone was completely speechless at the Huang family’s young lady. Everyone held their foreheads.
“If you know how to count the stars, why didn’t you notice that the ‘poor soldier’ you’re talking about is a captain? You keep calling him a poor soldier. Who do you think you are? You’re absolutely ignorant, stupid, and ridiculous!”
The person who spoke was a young lady. Although most of the people present did not know her, they recognized the person beside her. This person was also someone who was familiar with Zhong Nuannuan and Old Master Chi—Wu Maosong, the richest man in Sea District.
Huang Yuhan, “…”
Fortunately, she already found out who this woman was. She was the granddaughter of the richest man in Sea District, Wu Pingting! Therefore, Huang Yuhan did not dare to doubt what Wu Pingting just said. After knowing that, Huang Yuhan looked at Zhong Qianqian in confusion with her eyes were filled with inquiry—did she not say that Chi Yang was just a poor soldier?
However, Wu Pingting was not satisfied with that and continued, “Also, don’t you know know that this person who you despise because he doesn’t have any stars on his epaulet—someone you claim who’s not even a second lieutenant—is the commander-in-chief of Jiang District’s military base? Don’t tell me you can’t even recognize our country’s commander-in-chief’s epaulet? You keep questioning other people’s rights to tell you off! Oh, that’s right. You don’t know anything. So, I’m guessing that you don’t know what a commander-in-chief is? The commander-in-chief isn’t a driver. A commander-in-chief is the biggest shot around in the military base. This way, you should understand what I’m saying, right? Also, I’m not afraid to tell you that this poor elderly soldier’s surname is Leng. Not only is he the commander-in-chief of the military base, but his family is also part of your second-tier wealthy family in Emperor District!”
Leng Jinpeng, “…”
What the hell was a poor elderly soldier?
Undeniably, a poor soldier was a poor soldier. Even if they were soldiers, they would not be able to earn much money. Yet, why did all of them have to add the adjective ‘elderly’ in front of the phrase?
Was he that old?
As long as he did not die of some sickness, he should be in his prime!
People like Chi Yang and the others were all rash! Immature!
Chi Yang felt his nose itch but he resisted the urge to sneeze.
At that moment, the haughty Miss Huang was already panicking. Realizing that it was useless to look at Zhong Qianqian, she looked at Gu Mingzhe. Unexpectedly, she saw Gu Mingzhe’s murderous expression instead.
Oh, no. Did she get into trouble? Did she get into trouble with someone she should not have?
Meanwhile, after hearing his blabbermouth granddaughter’s description of Commander Leng, Wu Maosong could not help but pinch his granddaughter’s hand, indicating to her that it was time for her to stop talking.
