My Waste Husband

Chapter 43

Hearing Henry's concern, Sylvia nodded subconsciously.

"D*mn, show off your love and you will die quickly!" Peter Cheng sat down next to Henry and stretched out his hand to hold Henry's shoulder. "Dude, let's have a drink? Can you tell me how you got Sylvia in your arms? What do you usually teach her? Let me tell you, although your wife is a cold female president, a man should have a status at home. You should fight her!"

Henry looked at Sylvia weirdly. Sylvia also looked at Henry when she heard this. When Henry saw the coldness in her eyes, he smiled flatteringly.

Sylvia glared at Henry as if to say, "Try one!"

"Hey!" Peter sighed and patted Henry on the shoulder. "Brother, it seems that your family status is not good."

After saying that, Peter poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. Before he put down the cup, he heard a strange voice next to him.

"Ah, it's our Peter. Why don't you visit your elders first when you get home?"

Henry sat next to Peter and glanced at the woman from the corner of his eye. It was a middle-aged woman in luxurious jewelry. She had heavy makeup on her face and an eye-catching pearl necklace around her neck.

Peter turned his head and squinted at the middle-aged woman. "Auntie, how do you know that I didn't visit the elders when I came back?"

"Peter, what do you mean?" The middle-aged woman's face suddenly became angry. She heard something in Peter's words, which meant that she was not his elder?

"Nothing." Peter shook his head. "Let's eat, let's eat."

The middle-aged woman snorted and turned away.

During the meal, the people who were seated in the main room frequently walked to Old Master Cheng and toasted him. Everyone prepared unique words of congratulations.

At Henry's table, the Lin family did not go with others to toast, but alone. Only Nelson, on behalf of Robert, walked toward Old Master Cheng with a glass of wine in his hand.

As soon as Nelson got up and left, Richard, who had been silent, said, "Some people don't know how to be cautious when they make friends. Don't implicate our Lin family."

When he spoke, his eyes had been glancing at Henry, Sylvia, and Peter. His meaning was obvious.

"That's not true. Everyone has different personalities, and the circle of friends is different. Some people don't have to be sarcastic here. Am I right, brother-in-law?" Chaning smiled at Henry, and there was a hint of kindness in his smile.

Hearing Chaning's words, everyone on the table looked at him with puzzlement. They didn't understand why he suddenly changed his attitude towards Henry.

"Haha." Chaning sat there with a smile and said nothing.

Sitting on the table, Richard was a little unhappy, but his face was full of pride. Because he knew that from today on, everyone on this table would follow his lead, including Sylvia. After today, the first thing he had to do was to take her out of the Lin family. Regarding Chaning, If he dared to oppose Richard, he would be in trouble!

"Richard, how's the arrangement going?" his mother whispered to him.

Richard made an OK gesture and whispered, "It's all arranged. Paul and I found a forty-year-old wild ginseng."

"Good!" Richard's mother nodded vigorously. She knew very well what forty-year-old wild ginseng represented. It was not only expensive but also extremely hard to find. Generally speaking, this kind of nutrition was especially praised.

The banquet was going on, and everybody sat back in their seat. They knew that the highlight of the birthday party was about to begin.

Old Master Cheng's 70th birthday, his hair was already grizzled, and no one knew how many years he had left. The person selected today was likely to be the future of the Cheng family, the master of the family!

There were three main descendants in the Cheng family.

Peter, Paul, and Simon Cheng.

Among the three, Paul and Simon were the most favored ones. No one cared about Peter.

Everyone knew that Cheng's parents and grandchildren were not concerned about this at all.

After everyone finished toasting, Paul Cheng stood up first under the encouragement of his mother.

"Grandpa, may you be vigorous and refreshed! I wish you a happy 70th birthday. I've found ginseng especially for you." Paul held a delicate sandalwood box in his hand, which exuded a faint fragrance.

When he spoke, everyone in the main house focused their eyes on him.

Richard sat there, put down his chopsticks, and looked over.

Harry, who was wearing a Tang suit, did not speak immediately. He first glanced at Peter, who was sitting at the table with the Lins family, and then looked at Paul Cheng.

Seeing this scene, Paul was secretly delighted. As the oldest grandson, Peter, you didn't have the first birthday wish. Now it was my turn. Let's see what you will do!

Paul put the wooden box in front of Harry. Harry's expression was calm. He reached out his wrinkled hand and opened the box.

At the moment when the wooden box was opened, there was a sound of gasping in the room.

"A 35-year-old ginseng! At least 35 years old!" A knowledgeable merchant couldn't help shouting. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Mr. Wong, you're specialized in this field. What's your opinion?" One of them didn't understand the ginseng, so he asked doubtfully.

Mr. Wong nodded and explained to the crowd, "The ginseng is divided into many kinds, among which the most precious kind is the wild ginseng, which is different from the mountain ginseng and garden ginseng which are artificial. The survival rate of wild ginseng is extremely low and it is on the verge of extinction. And this kind of ginseng can only be found in the primeval forest. Generally, it is very rare if it is more than 15 years old. This one is 35 years old, that is just remarkable, unbelievable. I don't believe that money can buy it!"

When Mr. Wong looked at the ginseng, there was an obsession in his eyes.

After listening to Mr. Wong's words, everyone immediately understood the value of this ginseng. If so, the 35 years old wild ginseng could not be bought with money. There were so many people keeping an eye on it! There were so many rich people in China, and all of them were afraid of death. Who didn't want to get more of this kind of treasure?

"Okay." Harry Cheng nodded and said only one word.

This word made Paul ecstatic. His mother also showed a happy look in her eyes. After that, she glared at Peter fiercely. She was the one who just taunted Peter.

At this time, Richard couldn't help but grin. He had heard that Harry Cheng was a person who didn't talk and laugh. If he could say a good word, it meant that he was very satisfied.
