Big Shot's Reincarnation Sweeps the World Chapter 124 - Pretended To Be Poor

Chapter 124: Pretended To Be Poor

Sheng Yang subconsciously wanted to refuse because she didn’t like fuss and she would rather devote her time and energy to her studies and research.
But as the words of refusal slipped to the tip of her tongue, faced with the expectant faces of her parents, she closed her eyes and the image of her mother crying so hard that her eyes swelled like walnuts popped up in her mind.
She didn’t care about the banquet, but they…
This was a very strange relationship. They were hurt not because of themselves but because of her.
Sheng Yang was surprised that she would care so much about others’ feelings. But the ice in her heart seemed to be melting away and gradually turned into a trickle.
She suddenly compromised and nodded gently.
Kang Weizhen and Sheng You were relieved. Although they said it would be a “small” banquet, it definitely wouldn’t be small.
How could the coming-of-age banquet of the daughter of the famous Sheng Family in Yan City be small?
They wouldn’t invite irrelevant people, but even so, the scale of the banquet would still be unprecedented because many people would scramble to attend.

Sheng Family home.
Grandfather Sheng had returned from abroad. In addition to the business community, the Sheng Family now had footing with other countries’ political circles to open up the global market.
As soon as Grandfather Sheng returned, Grandmother Sheng began to nag.
In fact, the mahjong table was equivalent to a miniature society. News of Sheng Yang quickly spread to Grandmother Sheng’s ears. It turned out the village girl took first place in the whole grade on the first exam she took, doing even better than Sheng Yue and not disgracing the Sheng Family at all.
But Grandmother Sheng was stubborn. She only trusted what she wanted to believe and liked to find fault with people she didn’t like.
She didn’t like Kang Weizhen but liked her three grandsons. After all, they were her grandsons, but she really disliked Sheng Yang because she grew up in a small village and was a girl
Grandmother Sheng complained, “Do you know they’re going to hold a coming-of-age banquet for Sheng Yang? Why do they even bother?! She should be grateful that we took her back. Otherwise, she might still be suffering in that village. She should be content. How can she egg her father on to hold a coming-of-age banquet for her? I think You dotes on her too much!”
“I know she’s a calculating girl, but what’s the use of that? The futures of women lie in their husbands. I don’t think any young man from a decent family will want to marry her!”
“Excellent young men want to marry fair ladies who receive the best education. No matter how well she did on the exam, it’s simply useless.”
Grandmother Sheng’s proudest achievement in life was marrying Grandfather Sheng. Just like Jiang Xinyi, she was born into an ordinary family. Because of this, she preferred Jiang Xinyi to Kang Weizhen. When she was young, she was very charming and many men pursued her, including Grandpa Sheng who pretended to be poor. At first, she wasn’t interested in this poor young man at all.
But then she accidentally found out about his real identity and quickly seized her opportunity.
Although the Sheng Family was already quite wealthy at that time, it achieved rapid growth in the hands of Grandfather Sheng and Sheng You and became one of the most powerful families in Yan City.
