A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 385 Stealing the Limelight!

Shen Jiu-Wan's arrival made everyone in Mufan Real Estate anxious.

Wang Qiao-Yu, Jiang Hong, and the rest of the Qiu family stood at Yulong Hotel's entrance and watched as Qiu Mu-Cheng's family beaming away while they enjoyed Shen Jiu-Wan's deferential treatment. The Qiu family was instantly dumbstruck.

"Is he really second in command in the Shen family? Is he really the deputy CEO of Shen Group? Is there any CEO who would bow to an entire family of good-for-nothings?" said Jiang Hong as she watched in surprise and found it inconceivable.

"That can't be real! They must have hired actors," said Wang Qiao-Yu in disbelief. She was equally shocked.

"Yes, exactly!"

"Qiu Mu-Cheng must have hired these actors."

"Otherwise, why would the deputy CEO of Shen Group support and congratulate all those dumbasses and that poor farmer?

"And so respectfully too."

Very quickly, everyone nodded one after another. Everyone felt that Qiu Mu-Cheng hired an actor to impersonate Shen Jiu-Wan.

"Qiu Mu-Cheng is really scum. She even dared to deceive everyone at the Entrepreneurs' Dinner. It's no surprise if she hired a few actors in order to satisfy her ego," sneered Qiu Mu-Ying coldly. She was still filled with disdain for Qiu Mu-Cheng's family and hated them to the core. And she certainly didn't believe that they had the power to make the deputy CEO of Shen Group personally attend their opening ceremony.

"But what about that gold Rolex? You can hire an actor for sure, but you certainly can't rent such an expensive watch!" said someone from the crowd quizzically.

Wang Qiao-Yu smirked as she said, "Ha, it must be fake. A fake watch only costs less than $100."

"That's true," everyone nodded their heads and clearly agreed with Wang Qiao-Yu.

"Okay, he's just a good actor. Don't bother with them. Hurry up and take your seats. We're going to start the banquet soon," said Qiu Guang as he invited everyone to take their seats.

Just then, a pink Maserati's engine rumbled up ahead as its low roar cut through the skies before pulling up at the hotel entrance.

Moments later, the door boy's childish voice rang through the air again.

"Eldest daughter of Li family, Li Xue-Qi has arrived!"

BOOOM!

It seemed as though a huge rock fell into the sea and caused a huge tsunami to rise.

Everyone was startled when they heard someone from the Li family was here.

Was it the Li family from Yunzhou?

Master Er's family?

Just as everyone slipped into confusion, someone shouted in surprise.

"Li Xue-Qi?"

"Is it Master Er's little sister and the Li family's precious eldest daughter, Li Xue-Qi?"

What?

The Li family's precious eldest daughter?

Qiu Guang's face twitched.

Chu Wen-Fei shivered too.

It was one thing after another.

Everyone felt that even if Li Xue-Qi was from Yunzhou's Li family, she must be an insignificant character.

But Qiu Guang and the others didn't expect that the one who came as actually Master Er's little sister, Li Xue-Qi, the eldest daughter of the Li family.

Heavens!

Why did she come?

In an instant, everyone in the Qiu family turned pale.

Qiu Guang, Qiu Luo, and the others looked at each other. Chu Wen-Fei panicked too.

For a few minutes, no one in the hall dared to step up and welcome her.

"Guang, did...did you invite her?" asked Jiang Hong as her voice trembled.

"Are you joking? How could I have invited her? No matter how well-connected I am, I can't invite someone like the eldest daughter of the Li family." Qiu Guang had put on a bold face when he welcomed Shen Jiu-Wan, but he honestly didn't dare to approach Li Xue-Qi.

After all, the disparity in their statuses was simply too vast.

That was Master Er's little sister.

People like her were completely out of Qiu Guang's league.

"Luo, was it you then?" asked Qiu Guang as he looked at Qiu Luo.

Qiu Luo's face twitched as he shook his head quickly and said, "It's...it's impossible. My standing in Yunzhou is lower than yours. How could I have dared to invite her if you didn't? If she isn't here because of you, then who is she supporting? Could it be..."

All eyes in the hall turned to Chu Wen-Fei, who was at the center of the hall, in unison at the thought.

"Wen-Fei, did you invite Miss Li?"

Chu Wen-Fei was probably the only person among the Qius who could invite the Li family.

Although the Chu family wasn't as powerful as the Shen family, they undoubtedly had far greater power and status than the Qiu family in Yunzhou.

Moreover, they heard that Chu Wen-Fei's family was close to Mayor Wu.

So there was a higher chance that Li Xue-Qi was here because of Chu Wen-Fei.

But Chu Wen-Fei was a little confused.

He didn't recall his family knowing the Li family from Yunzhou at all.

After all, Master Er had unsurpassable status in Yunzhou and was one of the most powerful men here.

The Chu family only moved over to Yunzhou for seven or eight years, so even if they made big bucks out of the real estate, they didn't have the same kind of heritage.

Due to the yawning gap between their statuses, the Chu family wasn't acquainted with the Li family.

Chu Wen-Fei recalled that all these years, the only time his father came into contact with Li Er was when Wu Yong's father organized a dinner. It was all thanks to Mayor Wu that his father got to see Li Er. Even his old man couldn't get connected to the Li family. How could a junior like Chu Wen-Fei do it?

No matter how high profile Chu Wen-Fei was, he chickened out as they were talking about the Li family. He refused to say that he was acquainted with them.

Then he shook his head and said in shock, "L..I don't think so."

After Chu Wen-Fei denied a connection, the Qiu family found her appearance odd.

"Do you think she came to attend Qiu Mu-Cheng's opening ceremony?" guessed Jiang Hong randomly.

The moment Wang Qiao-Yu heard this, she instantly exploded and shouted, "That's nonsense!" "They are just a bunch of dumbasses. Miss Li must be blind if she wants to congratulate them. It's okay. Let's ignore who she came for, and go out to welcome her first. We will know who she came for after we meet," suggested Qiu Guang when he noticed that no one dared to welcome this guest.

Chu Wen-Fei didn't go over and stayed in the hall to entertain the guests. Old Master Qiu sat at the center of the hall as he waited for the Li family's eldest daughter to give her well wishes. The moment they stepped out of the hotel, Qiu Guang and Qiu Mu-Ying spotted a beautiful silhouette walking over.

Li Xue-Qi was dressed in a white gown and looked ravishing, and there was a rare smile on her cool pretty face. She was walking over to the Qiu family too.

"Haha, Miss Li, it's our honor that you can come all the way to our event."

Qiu Guang and the others smiled excitedly with ingratiation as they quickly shook Li Xue-Qi's hand.

Li Xue-Qi courteously smiled as she replied, "You're too kind! It's my honor to attend Mr Chu's event. Are Mr and Mrs Chu around?"

Li Xue-Qi's words startled everyone instead.

"Darn, did she really come because of Wen-Fei?"

"Is Wen-Fei's family already that powerful? Are they powerful enough to make the Li family come over?"

Qiu Guang and the others were surprised. They undoubtedly looked up to Chu Wen-Fei a little bit more in their hearts.

Then Qiu Guang and the others looked at Qiu Mu-Ying in unison.

"Is...is she looking for me?" asked Qiu Mu-Ying as she stood dumbstruck from shock and felt deeply flattered.

Even she clearly didn't think that the eldest daughter of the Li family would come on account of her husband.

Did her husband already command this much respect?

"Haha, Yingying, what are you standing around for. Miss Li came all the way here to support you. Why don't you hurry over and thank her?" Wang Qiao-Yu was delighted that they could steal the spotlight like this while Qiu Mu-Ying remained in shock.

The Li family's eldest daughter came to support her daughter-in-law. She could brag about it for a long time.
