Chapter 317 Thanks for the Invitation, No Appointment
Among the top ten aristocratic families in Longhua City, there are no Wenren family and Jimo family, but no family dares to underestimate these two families with few members on the verge of bankruptcy.
As for why, except for the older generation, no one knows the reason. Many elders of the family will warn their heirs or the next generation not to provoke anyone from the two families easily, otherwise there will be a catastrophe, and they will be attacked by other families. The Renjimo family's status in Longhua City has become very special.
Although the two families live a life out of touch with the family, and usually do not have much contact with other families, and no family member accepts the invitation to join the joint council of the family, they still have a great say in Longhua City, and no one dares to provoke disputes.
This is also the reason for Ke De's attitude change before and after, because he can't afford to mess with him.
"Miss Wenren, I didn't see it was you just now, and because I was angry, I was a little out of my mind. I hope you don't mind, can you please show your hand and let your servant release my child?" Ke De said in a low voice.
servant? When did my sister say that Chen Fang is a domestic servant? This man is not smart enough to speak viciously, and he is deaf. He is still the head of the Jones family.
Wen Ren looked at Ke De with undisguised contempt.
"Patriarch Jones, please pay attention, Chen Fang is not a slave of our family, but a family member."
"Also, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said, so your request is dismissed." Jimo said coldly.
Jimo's personality is easy-going and graceful, but that doesn't mean she's easy to talk to. If she's really ruthless, she's hard-hearted. Of course, it's aimed at people other than her family.
Ke De's complexion suddenly became ugly. He begged her so much, but he was so shameless. This woman really deserves to die.
"Miss Wenren, you have a lot of adults. I just said something wrong because I didn't mean it. This mouth is so smelly, it deserves to be slapped." Curd was jealous to death, but for Jess, he didn't care about face at all, slapped Start palming your own mouth.
His actions made everyone else present stunned.
"Nimma, this man is amazing."
"How down and lose the old face of the Jones family, what's the big deal."
"It's very thick-skinned."
"However, he has already done so. If Miss Wenren still refuses to let go, it will be too..."
Chen Fang grabbed the unconscious Jess, but he didn't do anything when he heard that Jimo asked him to throw him down.
This guy in his hands is very annoying. He repeatedly makes trouble for himself. It is easy to kill him, but such a blatant murder will definitely bring trouble to Jimo and their family. If she was not there just now, Chen Fang would have no scruples. He just killed him, but before he did anything, Jimo took over, and the situation was different. It was originally a matter for him alone, but it became a matter for two families, which was a bit inappropriate.
"clap clap"
Ke De's self-slapping sound was very loud. When Chen Fang heard it and looked over, he saw that he had really slapped him hard, and his face was already swollen.
"Sure enough, it's his own." Although Chen Fang felt that the father and son's faces were disgusting, he had to admire the sincerity of Ke De's father's love for Jess.
But why do I feel that he did something malicious? Chen Fang meditated in his heart.
"Miss Wenren, in my opinion, let's forget about this matter, let the young man release him, and pretend that what happened before didn't happen." The bald head became a peacemaker when he saw that the matter had developed to this point.
Jimo frowned. She really didn't expect Ke De to do this. Although his shameless behavior made people laugh, it was very effective in saving Jess's life, because he was like a patriarch who lost face by slapping himself. If this is the case and he kills his son, the other aristocratic family members will feel that Jimo is very domineering, and will have a bad opinion of the family.
With Ke De's operation, someone will surely fabricate some rumors about this matter in the future, saying that he bullied others and forced a patriarch of a family to slap his face in public and so on.
Don't think that this kind of situation will not happen, on the contrary, there are many people who turn black and white and cause trouble, such as those ladies from aristocratic families who are unhappy with themselves for various reasons, Jimo can imagine that he will be programmed to be not much different from them. people.
And that bald head is not a good thing, his words seem to be fine, but he put Jimo on the strong side, his meaning is thought-provoking, and his heart is not good.
"Patriarch Ke De, please stop." Jimo said lightly.
Some words need not be said clearly, Ke De naturally understood what Jimo meant, so he stopped his hands unambiguously, and looked at Chen Fang with puffed cheeks.
Chen Fang had been paying attention to the situation in Jimo all the time, so he jumped off the city wall and let go of Jess, retracted his weapon and disarmed his avatar, and walked to Jimo and the others.
"How did you find it? What do you want me to do?"
"Ah Lili led the way, the children are afraid that you will be hungry, so they brought something here." Jimo said softly.
"Uncle, Yaya and Yiyi asked grandma to bring a large piece of meat for you to eat." Yaya pointed to the big basket on the ground that was usually used to hold vegetables at home.
"Uncle, grandma told you to be careful." Yiyi also said.
"So cute." Chen Fang happily touched the heads of the two little guys.
"Why do you cause trouble everywhere, why are you busy today?" Wenren looked at Ke De, who was leaving with Jess in his arms, and asked.
"Someone messed with me, okay? I just wanted to go for a walk, and who would have encountered a broken thing to find fault with?" Chen Fang said.
"How did that guy mess with you?"
"It happened a long time ago, don't mention it, I'm just hungry, let's go." Chen Fang didn't want to talk about the matter with Jess to save his appetite.
Just when Chen Fang and the others were about to leave, Wen Renxiong ran over and blocked the way.
"What else do you want to do?" Chen Fang was also displeased with Wen Renxiong, and said angrily.
"Miss Wen Ren, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Wen Renxiong didn't even look at him, and directly passed Chen Fang and came to Jimo and said.
"Hello, Young Master Wen, thank you for your concern, what can I do?" Jimo asked with a smile.
"It's like this. My mother was ill last time. Thank you for the precious medicinal materials sent by your family. She has recovered now, so I would like to invite you to have a meal to express my gratitude." Wen Renxiong said.
"Thank you for the invitation, no appointment." Before Jimo could answer, Chen Fang stood in front of Wen Renxiong and spoke.
"What do you mean, I invited Miss Wen Ren, not you, go away." Wen Renxiong said angrily.
Chen Fang folded his arms without saying anything, and just stood there to block Wen Renxiong.
Wen Renxiong was impatient and wanted to push Chen Fang away. Just as he stretched out his hand, Jimo said, "Thank you for your invitation, but you have found the wrong person. The person who delivered the medicine is my grandfather. You should find him."
After Jimo finished speaking, he took Yiyi Yaya's little hand, turned around and left, and Wenren followed behind, and followed the bald head to see that the matter here had been resolved and took his men away.
Wen Renxiong felt a little embarrassed to be rejected by Jimo.
"Look, you were rejected. I just had a good intention. If you accepted my kindness, you wouldn't be so embarrassed now." Chen Fang said eccentrically.
This guy actually wanted to pry my cabbage. It seems that the kick just now wasn't hard enough.
"What is your relationship with Miss Wen Ren?" Wen Renxiong looked at Chen Fang angrily and asked.
"I told you about cohabitation, the same yard under the same blue sky, how many times do I have to tell you?"
"Impossible, I don't believe it."
"what ever."
After Chen Fang finished speaking, he picked up the basket containing the strong smell of barbecue and left, leaving behind Wen Renxiong with flaming eyes.
Chen Fang followed Jimo and the others to find a clean place, and began to eliminate the barbecue in the basket. Chen Fang cut off large pieces of meat and stuffed them in his mouth. His mouth was full of greasy food, and his strong digestion ability made him eat quickly. He wiped out the barbecue, and then hiccupped with a look of unfinished business.
"This time defending the city may be extremely dangerous, you have to be careful." Jimo said when he saw Chen Fang finished eating.
"Would it? Necromorphs are not strong, and we have defensive weapons here, so we have a great advantage no matter what." Chen Fang didn't quite understand why Jimo said that.
"That's temporary. With yesterday's strength, the ammunition for the core energy cannon is only enough for three days at most. The weapons of the Dawes family are newly made. Although they use mutant beast cores, the inventory in the city is not very sufficient. It can only last for five days at most, so this advantage cannot be maintained for too long."
"How do you know this?"
"My grandpa and grandpa said it." Wen Ren interjected.
"Without the defensive weapons, we can still rely on the city walls."
"But the problem is that the number of necromorphs is at least hundreds of thousands, and there are still an unknown number of werewolves. Without the range of weapons for defending the city, they will pile up on the city wall because they can't suppress the continuous number of necromorphs. Sometimes the city wall becomes the fence of the prison instead," Jimo said.
"Hearing you say it, I feel like we have no chance of winning."
It feels like Blue Star's zombie movies, which also use infection to increase the number of the same kind, and then conquer the city to occupy the whole world. In their eyes, the city wall is useless at all, and a high wall of tens of meters cannot be built by piles of corpses? You must know that necromorphs are not alive and afraid of death.
"Well, there are currently two ideas in the United Council of the Aristocratic Family. One is to continue to defend and wait for the support of the federal army."
"The risk is very high. The Federation has always looked down upon the family. It is very likely that it will use this opportunity to make the family disappear from the public, or the Federation may also use this opportunity to force the family to agree to certain conditions." Chen Fang said.
"Well, many people in the United Council share this opinion."
"Which is the other?"
"Voluntarily abandon the city, evacuate to Nanjing, and seek the protection of the five emperors' clan."
Abandoning the city and retreating during wartime must be approved by the Federal Parliament. Abandoning the city without authorization is equivalent to betrayal, and will be revoked from the federal status, and will never be allowed to enter the city according to statistics.
The Longhua City family applied to the Federation to abandon the city and evacuate, obviously they would not get approval, so they had to unilaterally abandon the city on their own initiative.
And the only one who can accept them is Nanjing under the control of the five emperors' clan. Although it also belongs to the Federation, it is only in name.
"That doesn't mean you have officially joined the Five Emperors Clan and are on the opposite side of the Federation." Chen Fang said.
"Yes."
"Then which option is most likely to be adopted?"
"I don't know, it mainly depends on the attitude of the federation, but I think it will take up to five days before the family's joint council will make a decision."
