As soon as Rick said this, Karl immediately explained, “I’m not talking about your boss, I’m talking about Mr. Chu. He really doesn’t take Mr. Eastern Dragon seriously, it’s too much!”

Rick wanted to say something, but Jing Zhen and Yan Zixuan already walked over and interrupted him.

Jing Zhen quickly explained, “Mr. Rick, this is just a misunderstanding. Cichen has absolutely no intention to offend Mr. Eastern Dragon!”

Jing Zhen might look down on his son-in-law and not want his daughter to be with him, but he was also protective and didn’t allow outsiders to belittle Chu Cichen!

For example, now that Karl was targeting Chu Cichen, Jing Zhen was very angry.

He looked directly at Karl. “We, the people of Country A, have always respected Mr. Eastern Dragon and never had any intention of neglecting him. On the other hand, Mr. Karl, why have you been stirring up trouble since you arrived here?”

Yan Zixuan also spoke, “Yes, i can testify! Mr. Chu has made a lot of effort for this banquet. It may have been hastily arranged due to time constraints and perhaps some details were not in place, but it’s definitely not because Mr. Chu disrespects Mr. Eastern Dragon. Please believe in the sincerity of us, the people of Country A, Mr. Rick!”

The words of these two people eased Chu Cichen’s expression a little.

He looked at Jing Zhen in surprise, not expecting his usually dismissive father-in-law to stand up for him today.

He then looked at Yan Zixuan who had been mocking him at every opportunity lately. He didn’t think his cousin-in-law would help him today, but he unexpectedly spoke up for Chu Cichen just now…

Upon seeing this, Chu Cichen’s lips curled slightly. He suddenly found Jingjing’s relatives quite endearing.

He also understood why Shen Ruojing insisted on staying in Country A!

Karl listened to Jing Zhen and Yan Zixuan’s words and hurriedly looked at Rick, only to see Rick slightly stunned, as if he didn’t expect these two to speak up for Chu Cichen. Moreover, there was a hint of amusement on Rick’s face.

Thus, Karl became anxious and immediately said, “Mr. Rick, I’m not trying to stir up your relationship. I don’t mean that. 1 just feel that Mr. Chu’s arrangement for the banquet in honor of Mr. Eastern Dragon is really lacking. Look at this tea…”

He picked up the teacup from the side and handed it to Rick. “The Chinese love tea, and this habit has spread to Country A. 1 know there are better teas in the royal family and even the King has some, but they only use this mediocre tea to entertain Mr. Eastern Dragon…”

Karl shook his head. “If I were to handle it, I wouldn’t bring out such tea.”

Jing Zhen and Yan Zixuan were about to explain again, but Rick suddenly stared at the teacup and laughed. “What kind of tea is this?”

Yan Zixuan explained, “It’s Da Hong Pao.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh, Da Hong Pao, what a coincidence. Our boss loves this tea the most.” Rick smiled at Karl. “Mr. Karl, since you’re so eager to get to know our boss, don’t you know about his hobby?”

Karl. “??”

He was stunned, obviously unaware of Eastern Dragon’s habit!

He looked around again, trying to find more flaws in the banquet and immediately said, “A few days ago when Princess Daisy of Country Y arrived, the banquet that was held then was several times more magnificent than this one. Not just the style of the buffet, but the arrangements and decorations were also more luxurious than what we have now. Mr. Chu’s reception for Mr. Eastern Dragon’s banquet is too simple!”

Listening to Karl nitpick, Shen Ruojing couldn’t bear it anymore.

She looked at Chu Cichen sarcastically and suddenly laughed. “That’s because Princess Daisy is a princess of a country. Country A naturally has to receive her with the royal attitude befitting a foreign guest.”

As soon as Shen Ruojing said this, Jing Zhen and Yan Zixuan’s faces darkened. They felt that she had misspoken.

Sure enough, Karl immediately caught the loophole in her words. “Oh, does Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess mean that Mr. Eastern Dragon’s status is not as high as our Princess Daisy’s?”

(It’s over!)

Jing Zhen and Yan Zixuan both understood that this banquet was prepared by Chu Cichen, and indeed, its level of grandeur was not as high as the one held a few days ago.

But saying it so explicitly seemed to carry that implication.

What would Mr. Eastern Dragon think?

Shen Ruojing rarely spoke, but her words would usually hit the key points. Just what was happening today?

Just as the two were anxiously wondering how to make up for Shen Ruojing’s recent remark, they saw Shen Ruojing suddenly smile. “Of course not, it’s just that when receiving our own people, we don’t need to make such a big fuss. Do I have to do this every time 1 return to my parents’ home?….”
