?Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Is There a Real Grudge? Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Is There a Real Grudge? The chief steward’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and those not far from the Jiang family heard it clearly. Those who did not hear were secretly sizing up the situation, only to see that all three members of the Jiang family had incredibly unpleasant expressions, which piqued their curiosity even more.
Jiang’s mother regained her composure, her face embarrassed, “What do you mean by that? The banquet isn’t over yet.”
The chief steward still smiled, “It means exactly what it says.”
Jiang’s mother saw that many people around were looking at them, and she froze, unable to speak for quite some time.
She had attended many big and small banquets but had never been asked to leave in the middle of one before.
It was particularly galling since this was the Li Family’s event, who were clearly not afraid of offending them.
She straightened her back, her feet planted firmly on the ground as if nailed down, and demanded, “I want to see Sister Qiong.”
The chief steward’s tone was lukewarm, “The lady is busy right now and has no time to see you.”
Jiang Yuan did not like his mother being disrespected in this way and immediately wanted to burst out in a curse, but fortunately, Jiang Jing saw through his intentions. Before he could speak, she grabbed him, her face stern as she commanded, “Shut up.”
Jiang Yuan, somewhat fearful of his sister who was a few minutes older and much more mature than him, choked back his words.
He said resentfully, “Mom is being treated like this, and you still tell me to shut up!”
Jiang Jing reasoned, “Unless you want to make a scene and let everyone here know we were kicked out, keep quiet.”
Ultimately, Jiang Yuan held back, his frustration evident as he muttered, “Coward.”
“Our Jiang family is related to the Li family; you dare to drive us out, I will go and appeal to the elder lady,” Jiang’s mother blurted out, driven by anger and embarrassment.
The chief steward’s smiling eyes flashed sharply, “Would you like me to have someone escort you out?”
While he said ‘escort,’ he meant for them to be thrown out.
Jiang’s mother was stunned by the chief steward’s unapologetic approach.
“Mom, let’s go.” Perhaps for the sake of saving face, Jiang Jing said with a cold laugh, “I find this kind of banquet rather boring anyway.”
Jiang’s mother was reluctant, but since the hosts had spoken, what could she do?
After the Jiang family was driven out, the banquet hall buzzed with activity, spreading the word about what had just occurred.
This was a big deal; the people of the Jiang family were driven out by the Li family.
Those in business with the Jiang family couldn’t help but speculate about the Li family’s intentions and whether continuing to cooperate with the Jiang family might invite trouble upon themselves.
Those still in talks with the Jiang family stopped considering doing business with them altogether, preferring not to offend the Li family over the Jiangs.
