Chapter 45
"If it is not Mr. Yang and the heroes of his generation shedding blood for the country, we'll never live in a prosperity like this."
Fan Gang was even more irritated than Xiao Potian to see Yang Zhong be insulted rudely, therefore he spelled out all what he knew.
There was a dead silence in the lobby.
"Salute to the old hero!" As the commander of the southern warzone and a Four-star Warlord, Xie Haihua was greatly touched by Yang Zhong's heroic story, giving the order to salute him right away and taking the lead to extend his greetings.
The soldiers guarding the lobby were all subordinates of Xie Haihua. They instantly saluted to Yang Zhong in unison.
Fan Gang and his guards also saluted to Yang Zhong.
Even those best men and bridesmaids, who were disguised by special troops, have forgotten their identity to give standard military salutes unconsciously.
The guests were rather confused to see the best men and bridesmaids salute to Mr. Yang and wondered why their posture were so standard.
Seeing this, the young masters of the big families and other guests all saluted to Yang Zhong one after another, with esteem towards him from the inside.
Notwithstanding their father-son relationship, Xiao Potian also gave a salute to Yan Zhong in such a formal occasion.
Even Chu Shaohui has saluted this father of his son-in-law.
Chu Yuxin, Shen Ningxiang, Wang Shihan and those classmates also followed suit to salute to Yang Zhong, not standard but sincere.
Chu Yuxin felt really ashamed for both herself and her family. As a wife, he even had no idea about Xiao Potian's heroic foster father; while her family always judged others with their appearance, satirizing Yang Zhong because of his ordinary cloths.
All those present, except for the dumbstruck Chus and their relatives, have saluted to Yang Zhong.
Yang Zhong was moved to tears by the scene. What a glory it is to be saluted by all guests, a Three-star warlord, a Four-star warlord and all his soldiers.
Being too touched to pronounce a single word, Yang Zhong could just return the salute to all.
After salute, Xie Haihua and Fan Gang stepped forward themselves to help Yang Zhong to his seat.
Chu Yuxin also apologized to Yang Zhong hastily, "Dad, I apologize to you on behalf of my family. They did not know who you were. Please forgive them."
Hearing his daughter-in-law call him "dad", Yang Zhong greatly elated, "That's alright. I won't take it seriously."
Then he talked to Xiao Potian sternly, "Potian, it's the family of my daughter-in-law, including your mother-in-law. How can you drive away my relatives by marriage? No warned, no fault. You shall have them seated quickly!"
"Yes!" Since Yang Zhong has given the word, Xiao Potian dared not to overdo anymore.
"Please take a seat, everyone, don't keep standing", said Yang Zhong to the crowd.
Those who have insulted Yang Zhong before eventually took a sign of relief to see how magnanimous was and got to their seats.
By this time, the rich and the celebrities have arrived one by one and started to offer their gifts.
