Cheng Jiaming heard the audience's quiet discussion, and felt the gazes of the guests looking toward him, unable to conceal his unpleasant expression.
Wei Tianxiong laughed loudly with satisfaction, clapping his hands. "Good good good, go invite Jun boss over, today I want to see the true identity of this Lu shan."
The guests also anxiously waited, they wanted to see in the end who this Jun boss really was, how he really looked when his makeup was removed. Would he be as charming and moving as Yang concubine, or fresh and refined as Lu concubine.
After Jing Yang removed his makeup, he once again put on that black cap and pushed down the brim. Lowering his head, he followed Wu troupe master to go see Wei Tianxiong.
"Wei commander, Yang commander-in-chief." Wu troupe master bent his waist to salute the two people.
Wei Tianxiong looked behind Wu troupe master. "This person is Jun boss?"
"It is precisely this person." Wu troupe master moved to the side, revealing Jing Yang behind him.
"Come forward to let me see." Wei Tianxiong said.
Jing Yang moved forward a couple steps, and then removed his hat and raised his head. He then saluted neither haughtily nor humbly, "Yang commander-in-chief, Wei commander."
Yang Wangkun looked at Jing Yang's face, in his heart he had some unclear, unknown thoughts, even he himself wasn't able to understand, why he would have this kind of feelings toward a man.
Wei Tianxiong previously had never seen Cheng Junxi before, plundering the Cheng family's properties didn't require he himself to appear. He had always let his underlings go take care of it. This was also his first time seeing him, the admiring expression on his face was also extremely obvious.
In Wei Tianxiong's eyes, this Jun boss who had removed his makeup didn't have a thread of that female air, his manner also did not at all make people feel that he was effeminate. His clean and elegant appearance, and lack of flirtatious behavior, gave him an urge to occupy him.
Cheng Jiaming was unable to recognize him at first glance, and only after carefully looking over that face, he suddenly stood up. He accidentally knocked over a wineglass on the table, it shattered on the floor, emitting the crisp sound of broken glass.
Everyone looked toward the suddenly excited Cheng Jiaming.
"You..." Cheng Jiaming pointed at Jing Yang, shouting, "Cheng Junxi! How could it be you, how could you know how to sing opera!"
"Cheng Junxi?" Wei Tianxiong felt that this name was a little familiar, in a short period of time he was unable to remember who this was. The aide at his side was also shocked after seeing Jing Yang, and after he snapped out of his trance, he bent to say a few words in Wei Tianxiong's ear.
"Why could it not be me?" Jing Yang calmly looked at him.
After Wei Tianxiong knew of his identity, he used a shocked gaze to look him over. "You are really Jun boss?"
"No mistake, I Cheng Junxi am Jun boss."
"Impossible! Commander, he is definitely impersonating someone, how could it be possible for the Cheng family's big young master to know how to sing opera!" Cheng Jiaming felt that this definitely was a scam, he wanted to take over the attention that Jun boss had attracted from Wei Tianxiong, and make it easier to take back the Cheng family properties. How would it be possible for he this big young master to know how to sing opera, and even be able to sing better than him, the person who had performed just now was definitely a different person.
"Wu troupe master, you best speak truthfully with me, Cheng Junxi and Jun boss, in the end are they the same person or not." Wei Tianxiong looked toward Wu troupe master with a malicious gaze in order to have Wu troupe master speak the truth. He had already taken a fancy to Cheng Junxi this person, but if Jun boss was really another person, he didn't mind bringing both of them together into his home.
"I don't dare to fool commander, Cheng young master is precisely Jun boss." Wu troupe master responded.
"Wei commander doesn't need to make it difficult for Wu troupe master, I naturally have methods to prove whether or not it is me." Jing Yang turned around and walked on stage, and everyone's eyes followed him.
There were some guests who could recognize him, and all had incredible expressions. When did this Cheng family young master know how to sing opera?
They were all the same as Cheng Jiaming, they felt that there may be something strange in this matter.
