Chapter 44
Hearing Zhou Liping's words, Yang Zhong paused at once, awkwardly.
It made Xiao Potian and Fan Gang frown as well.
"Aye, it's the wedding day of my granddaughter and grandson-in-law. How on earth would the Tianlong Hotel let in such a beggar while so many big names could not get invited as wished? Waiter, don't let him spoil the day any more, get him out!" agreed with grandma Chu.
Nervous sweat drenched the waiter's face. Didn't these people know this old man in ragged military uniform is the groom's father?
Actually, the Chus did have no idea that Yang Zhong was Xiao Potian's foster father. Because of Xiao Potian's humble identity, they did not hold a wedding and Yang Zhong has never visited the Chu's house when he was married into the Chus.
"Those who could be here are all great eminences like Three-star Warlord, Four-star Warlord and the young masters of the big families of the capital city. What a disgrace it is to allow a beggar to take the presence!"
"Look at the trousers and the patches on them. How could a shabby person like this get here?"
"The filthy old man must have sneaked in when the security lose attention."
"What are you waiting for? Throw him out! Don't let him spoil the cityscape anymore!"
The family members of the Chus were also whining clamorously.
Yang Zhong was extremely embarrassed and ashamed of their talking. When Xiao Potian invited him to the wedding in the first place, he has concerned that people would taunted him, a humble old man with crippled right leg, and therefore affected the wedding. Against his expectation, it really happened.
"Shut up! Get out of here!" Xiao Potian burst into anger. Dared anyone to insult his foster father, he would not spare. Even if they were his wife's mother and grandma Chu.
Seeing the outburst of Xiao Potian, those who have humiliated Yan Zhong all stopped and looked at each other in despair.
"What? You demand us to get out?" Zhou Liping was amazed.
"Yes, you!" answered Xiao Potian coldly.
"Why? I am your mother-in-law! These are all the Chus. Why do you drive us off?" asked Zhou Liping, being extremely puzzled.
"It is because, this man in military uniform is my foster father! No one could ever humiliate this Xiao Potian's foster father!" Xiao Potian said in a loud voice. He could bear being insulted by the Chus, but he would definitely not allow them to treat his foster father like this.
Xiao Potian's words shocked everyone who has insulted Yang Zhong.
How could they imagine Xiao Potian's foster father would be a crippled old man?
Fan Gang could not hold his anger as well, "Shame on you! Snobs!" Because Yang Zhong was not only Xiao Potian's foster father but also a revered predecessor of his. Even those who insulted Yang Zhong were the family members of Xiao Potian's wife, he could not help scolding them.
On the day he visited Yang Zhong's home with Xiao Potian, he talked a lot with Yang Zhong and learnt about the heroic deeds of him while Xiao Potian was cooking.
"Do you have any idea that, this Yang Zhong, except for being the groom's foster father, is an old hero who has fought in the war?"
"In one of these ruthless battles, Mr. Yang was shot on his right leg. Yet he propped up with one knee, using his broadsword to ward off rounds and rounds of assaults and eventually held their position."
"The hole under the patch on his trousers, if I take it right, was pierced by the bullet of enemy!"
"This hero used to fight for our country, went through jaws of death in hails of bullets and contributed a leg to our great Dragonland. He is not someone you sordid people should've insulted!"
