A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1113 Uh Oh
"Wen-Fei, are you serious? You really booked Haiyuan Restaurant for the banquet? Wen-Fei, you're really too wonderful to me! I really don't deserve this!"
Tian Xiu-Xiu had clearly heard about how famous Haiyuan Restaurant was in Jiangdong, so when she heard that Chu Wen-Fei had booked the restaurant for their wedding banquet, she felt even more touched inside.
"Xiu-Xiu, don't say such things. You are now my wife, so you deserve only the best in the world. Nothing I've done can be compared to how much you've done. Besides, it's just a meal at Haiyuan Restaurant, which is really nothing to the Chu family of Yunzhou." Chu Wen-Fei felt a great arrogance rise within him again as he smiled proudly at his bride.
Tian Xiu-Xiu felt a sweetness inside at the thought of how impressive her husband was.
But the problem was, Chu Wen-Fei himself had no idea that the banquet was going to be held at Haiyuan Restaurant either.
His father had told him just the night before that the banquet would be at Yulong Hotel.
He was surprised that the final venue would turn out to be Haiyuan Restaurant.
"Dad has really put in a lot of effort this time! I'd better give him a grandson soon to thank him for all his efforts," thought Chu Wen-Fei happily to himself.
He didn't think too much of any of this. His father could make the traffic police close off roads and decorate the entire city so beautifully, so being able to hold the wedding banquet in Haiyuan Restaurant seemed like a natural part of the entire package.
Chu Wen-Fei's bridal procession continued towards Haiyuan Restaurant.
All the cars stopped within the last hundred meters of the restaurant.
"Mr Chu, this way to the red carpet, and into the restaurant. All your guests are already inside waiting for you," said Chen, another traffic policeman, very respectfully to Chu Wen-Fei.
Chu Wen-Fei nodded and smiled, "So fancy, huh? Red carpet too? Sure, let's go."
Chu Wen-Fei took Tian Xiu-Xiu's hand and they alighted from the car.
When they got out of the car and saw the scene before them, they were all stunned.
A brand new red carpet seemed to stretch on for miles.
Red lanterns were hung up high and flowers decorated the entire building.
Dozens of beautiful young ladies in qipao stood in two long rows to welcome them.
Firecrackers went off and melodious music began to play.
The hundreds of guests stood at the first floor of Haiyuan Restaurant in their finest clothing to welcome the couple.
The three who got out of their car were so amazed and impressed by everything they saw.
They felt like this must be some royal wedding.
"Wen-Fei, did you...did you prepare all this?! This is really insane! I'm a guy, but even I feel like marrying you now!" Zhu Gong-Chen looked at how opulent the venue was and he was truly stunned by how much the Chu family had spent on everything. All of this definitely cost way more than $10 million.
"It's not much, really," said Chu Wen-Fei as he pretended to be calm and nonchalant about everything in order to show off.
But at the same time, Li Er and the rest started frowning as they heard the commotion coming from the cars a hundred meters away.
"What's going on? Didn't the driver say they would arrive at 1130AM? It's only 11 AM, so why are they already here?" Li Er was rather puzzled.
"Maybe he wanted it earlier," thought Lei San.
Wang Jie-Xi just laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Since Mr Chu is here, let's go out and welcome him!"
"You're right! Come along, let's go and receive Mr Chu and Miss Qiu!" Li Er led all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong to receive the couple with deferential and joyful smiles.
At the same time, Chu Wen-Fei and Tian Xiu-Xiu hooked arms as they stepped onto the red carpet.
They were followed by all their groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Of course, Zhu Gong-Chen was one of the groomsmen.
But as they drew nearer to the crowd at Haiyuan Restaurant, Chu Wen-Fei started frown more and more deeply, because he realized that he didn't know any of the guests in the crowd in front. "That's really strange. Where are my parents? And my aunts and uncles? Why don't I see any of them?" Chu Wen-Fei started to panic inside.
Just then, Zhu Gong-Chen let out a shout, "Oh my god! Wen-Fei! Isn't the man leading the way Master Li Er of Yunzhou? You even managed to invite Master Er?!"
"Oh my god!! That man next to Master Er is Master Lei San from Jingzhou! I've seen him on TV before! Master San is here too?!"
"Wait a minute, there's also Wang Jie-Xi from Haozhou! And the head of the Shen family, Shen Jiu-Yi is here too!"
"Oh my god!! It looks like all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong are here to congratulate you on your big day! Wen-Fei, you're damned amazing!!"
Unlike Ye Fan, Li Er and the other businessmen were famous tycoons and were often featured in the media, so it wasn't surprising that many people knew them from TV and the newspapers.
From afar, Zhu Gong-Chen and the rest didn't notice anything amiss. But once they came closer, they realized that the people walking towards them were all big shots of the province.
Chu Wen-Fei's groomsmen and bridesmaid immediately went into an uproar. They were very excited, but also amazed at the Chu family's influence and reputation.
"Wen-Fei, is your family really this incredible?!" Tian Xiu-Xiu was really stunned too, and she felt that she had to update her understanding of this family.
Before this, she thought that even though the Chu family was rich, they were merely a second tier family in Yunzhou.
But now, all the rich and powerful and Jiangdong were here to attend their wedding and congratulate them.
Tian Xiu-Xiu couldn't help but be in awe of how powerful the Chu family was.
But unlike all his excited friends, Chu Wen-Fei couldn't find it in himself to smile at all.
In fact, he was on the verge of tears now.
Even an idiot would have realized by now that something wasn't quite right.
After all, the Chu family was only a second tier family in Yunzhou.
There was no way people like Li Er and Lei San would even attend the wedding!
Something was definitely wrong somewhere.
Chu Wen-Fei finally figured that he might have really made a mistake after all.
But just as Chu Wen-Fei was frantically thinking of a way to get out of this situation, Li Er and the rest had stopped in front of him.
"Hmm? Where's Mr Chu? Where's Mr Chu?" Li Er and the rest looked around but didn't see any signs of Ye Fan at all.
Uh oh.
Chu Wen-Fei's heart immediately
palpitated.
He had really gotten it wrong.
This banquet at Haiyuan Restaurant and everything before that wasn't prepared for him at all.
"Er, well, that..."
But before Chu Wen-Fei could attempt to explain what happened, Zhu Gong-Chen and the rest suddenly shouted from the crowd behind, "Master Er, Mr Chu is right here!" Chu Wen-Fei felt a chill down his spine as he groaned inwardly and his eyes were filled with despair.
"Shit! I'm doomed this time!"
