A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 383 I Wish You an Auspicious Opening!

So when Qiu Guang heard that Shen Jiu-Wan was here, he didn't rush over to welcome him right away. He looked perplexedly at Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying and asked instead, "Wen-Fei, did you invite Shen Jiu-Wan?"

"No, I didn't, Uncle Guang. I haven't been touch with the Shen family in a long time," said Chu Wen-Fei as he shook his head.

If this happened in the past, Chu Wen-Fei would have thought the Shen family was here out of respect for him.

But after everything that happened, Chu Wen-Fei could tell that the Shen family didn't give a hoot about him at all.

Why else would Shen Jiu-Yi have given him a fake painting?"

When they had dinner at Yunjing Hotel, they were even sent to the police station.

Then Shen Meng didn't do him any favors at Women's Country either.

So, Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying finally understood that the Shen family was full of hypocrites after all these incidents. Although they acted close to Chu Wen-Fei and were enthusiastic about toasting him, they did it to rip them off.

They ripped Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying off of so much money altogether. Now they still owed them a $4 million debt.

Qiu Guang nodded when he heard Chu Wen-Fei's response and felt a little bit more confident in his heart. Then he said, "In that case, they must be here on account of me. Come, Honey, let's go welcome Mr Shen."

Then Qiu Guang smiled proudly in excitement.

Qiu Guang was so smug in his heart that he was going insane.

He wondered if he commanded that much respect?

Even Shen Group turned up to support him.

Although Shen Jiu-Wan was only second in command in Shen Group, he was thousands of times more impressive than these factory bosses here. His presence would make their event appear far more important.

Qiu Guang was no longer able to contain his thrill and immediately led his wife to the hotel entrance to welcome Shen Jiu-Wan under everyone's envious stares.

"Mr Shen, what brings you here? Given how small our company is, we were worried about disturbing Mr Shen, so we didn't dare send you an invite. I didn't think that Mr Shen would come personally. Hahahaha!" said Qiu Guang excitedly as he grabbed Shen Jiu-Wan's hand and trembled when he shook it.

Shen Jiu-Wan smiled when he saw Qiu Guang and said deferentially, "Pardon me, are you Mr Chu?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm Mr Chu..." said Qiu Guang accidentally. He was perhaps overwhelmed with joy when he replied without a thought. But the moment he realized his error, his face twitched as he asked, "Wha...what? What did you say?"

"Are you Mr Chu? I came bearing a gift to specially support and congratulate Mr Chu," said Shen Jiu-Wan respectfully again.

Qiu Guang's high spirits were instantly dampened when he heard him.

So he was here for Chu Wen-Fei.

Qiu Guang just knew that he didn't garner enough respect to make the Shen family send a representative to attend their ceremony. With faint disappointment, Qiu Guang turned to shout, "Wen-Fei, Yingying, come out! Mr Shen is here to support you!"

What?

Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying were genuinely so shocked that they stood there in a daze.

"Is...is he here to support us?1

Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying looked at each other. They were clearly both surprised.

They didn't know what the Shen family was up to this time.

"Yingying, what are you two standing around for? Hurry over and welcome him. Mr Shen is waiting for you outside," rushed Wang Qiao-Yu immediately as she smiled.

Old Master Qiu rushed her too. He told them to hurry over and not to be rude.

The couple was driven outside just like that. They saw Shen Jiu-Wan when they arrived outside.

"Are you Mr Chu?" asked Shen Jiu-Wan politely.

Chu Wen-Fei nodded and replied, "I am. Are you really here to congratulate us?"

Chu Wen-Fei was suspicious and felt like he had to ask again.

Shen Jiu-Wan instantly bowed and said respectfully, "Mr Chu, just as my older brother said, you are truly outstanding young talent. I, Shen Jiu-Wan, came to congratulate Mr Chu on behalf of Shen Group." "Ha, Yingying, he really came on my account," said Chu Wen-Fei. He was instantly delighted when he heard Shen Jiu-Wan.

Regardless of Shen Jiu-Wan's intention, he was doing Chu Wen-Fei a favor just by coming to support him. Chu Wen-Fei was more than happy that he could flaunt how well-connected he was.

All doubt that the husband and wife had instantly dissipated. Then Chu Wen-Fei smiled and said, "Mr Shen, this way, please."

Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei led Shen Jiu-Wan into the hall as they chatted.

"This is my mother, my father, and that's my grandfather up there. He's the head of the Qiu family."

Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying introduced them to Shen Jiu-Wan one after another when they arrived in the hall.

Shen Jiu-Wan shook each of their hands respectfully with a humble attitude after they were introduced.

The other guests were immediately shocked by Shen Jiu-Wan's gesture and gasped in admiration.

"Qiu Luo's son-in-law sure commands a lot of respect."

"He is so young, but Shen Group personally sent someone to congratulate him and this Mr Shen even looks so humble in his presence." "The Qiu family found themselves such a good son-in-law."

Everyone sighed in envy one after another.

The looks of admiration set Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei in even higher spirits and made them bigheaded.

Then Shen Jiu-Wan went forward and presented a brand new watch to Chu Wen-Fei publicly.

"Mr Chu, I came at the last minute and didn't have more time to prepare. Please accept this small gift from me." The crowd went dumbstruck when they saw the watch.

"Darn, that's a gold Rolex."

"The cheapest one is at least a five digit sum."

"Given the Shen family's background, this watch must be worth at least a few hundred thousand, right?"

"The Shen family really is an elite family! They are so generous!"

Everyone trembled in awe gain.

Qiu Mu-Ying immediately accepted the watch as though fearful that Shen Jiu-Wan would change his mind. She helped Chu Wen-Fei put on the watch right away. "Haha, it suits my husband well! Thank you, Mr Shen," thanked Qiu Mu-Ying.

"I'm glad that Mr Chu likes it," said Shen Jiu-Wan as he smiled deferentially after giving them the gift. Then Shen Jiu-Wan turned to greet Old Master Qiu out of etiquette and said, "Old Master Qiu, your grandson-in-law is outstanding. With Mr Chu around, the Qiu family will definitely become the most powerful family in Jiangdong. I took the lead and came here first. My older brother will come soon with all the rich and powerful from Yunzhou to congratulate you."

What?

"Is the head of the Shen family coming too?"

"Hahaha.."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"When the time comes, the Qiu family will be there to welcome the head of the Shen family," said Old Master Qiu as they shivered in surprise and beamed even

more brightly.

"Old Master Qiu, you flatter us. Since this is Mr Chu's opening ceremony, I'm certain that people will come from near and far to congratulate you. The Shen family is simply a small fry in comparison to the truly powerful. But before my brother gets here, allow me, Shen Jiu-Wan, to offer this wine and wish Mufan Real Estate an auspicious opening! I hope Mufan Real Estate has a booming business!" said Shen Jiu- Wan respectfully before he held up a wine glass and finished its contents in one gulp.

But the moment Shen Jiu-Wan's finished his shocking words, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Old Master Qiu's smile instantly froze.

Qiu Guang and everyone else's faces twitched.

The guests were equally stunned.
