A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 386 I Don't Know Him

"Oh yes!"

Qiu Mu-Ying finally snapped out of her endless ecstasy when Wang Qiao-Yu reminded her to welcome Miss Li.

Qiu Mu-Ying hurriedly stepped forward excitedly and smiled as she shook her hand and kept thanking this beautiful woman in front of her, "Haha, Miss Li, my husband and I are grateful and honored that you can grace us with your presence. We didn't know that you would be coming, so we didn't personally wait for you at the door. My apologies for that."

Qiu Mu-Ying was usually arrogant in nature, but with the Li family's eldest daughter here, she didn't dare to put on any airs.

After all, they had disparate statuses.

Qiu Mu-Ying didn't think that Li Xue-Qi was here to ingratiate them. Li Xue-Qi was probably just here to show support for her husband.

Since she was so kind as to turn up, Qiu Mu-Ying showered Li Xue-Qi with attention. Qiu Mu-Ying felt both honored and enthusiastic as she held Li Xue-Qi's hand without letting it go.

"Are you Mrs Chu? Are you Mr Chu's wife?" asked Li Xue-Qi. She felt flattered by Qiu Mu-Ying's enthusiasm.

Li Xue-Qi came in advance to the celebration to help her older brother test the water and to try and befriend Mr and Mrs Chu privately.

After the battle of Mount Tai, Mr Chu made a name for himself by becoming the king of Jiangdong. All 18 city administrations saw him as king. Even big shots like Chen Ao had lowered themselves and were willing to be his subordinates.

Given his prestige and status, the Li family naturally had to fawn over him.

Li Xue-Qi offended Mr Chu out of ignorance previously, so she thought they would give her the cold shoulder, but Mrs Chu was unexpectedly friendly and approachable.

Li Xue-Qi was momentarily nervous about Qiu Mu-Ying's enthusiasm. Li Xue-Qi felt that she was undeserving, so she kept thanking her.

"Mrs Chu, you're too kind. It's my honor that you came out to receive me personally. In reality, I wanted to visit you both for a long time but was afraid about disturbing you, so I took the opportunity to visit and congratulate you. This necklace is my gift to you. I hope you stay young and beautiful forever," said Li Xue-Qi as she handed Qiu Mu-Ying an exquisite box.

Qiu Mu-Ying opened the box on the spot when she received the gift box.

In an instant, the glow of jewelry radiated from the box.

"That's...that's..."

"That's a Hall of Riches necklace!"

"It's Laofengxiang's most expensive piece of jewelry." "That's at least $600,000!

The moment she opened Li Xue-Qi's gift, Qiu Guang and the rest of the Qiu family came over.

When they saw the necklace, Jiang Hong instantly screamed in shock.

"I could never bring myself to buy that necklace. I didn't think that Yingying could get her hands on it without spending a dime. I'm so envious of you! You're so lucky!" said Jiang Hong as she went green with envy from looking at the shiny necklace. If Qiu Guang weren't present to pull her back, she would probably have rushed over.

$600...$600,000?

At least?

When Qiu Mu-Ying discovered how much the necklace fetched, she gasped and went hysterical with joy in her heart.

Li Xue-Qi certainly was the eldest daughter of the Li family. She gave her a $600,000 gift the first time they met.

"This is too expensive, Miss Li. How can I accept such an expensive gift when I've only met you the first time?" said Qiu Mu-Ying as she pretended to refuse the necklace. Although Qiu Mu-Ying rejected the gift verbally, her hands were more honest as they held the gift tightly in her arms.

They chatted for a bit more before Li Xue-Qi asked, "Mrs Chu, where is Mr Chu? Isn't he here today?"

After chatting for a long time outside, Li Xue-Qi didn't see Mr Chu, so she was instantly curious.

"Haha, Miss Li, sorry I was too excited and forgot about him. Come, this way, please. My husband is in the hall waiting for you," said Qiu Mu-Ying as she held Li Xue-Qi's gift, and smugly smiled while she led her into the hall.

"Quickly, Wen-Fei. Miss Li is here to support us. She even gave me a $600,000 necklace! Come and meet her," shouted Qiu Mu-Ying as she waved the necklace in her hand.

Qiu Mu-Ying seemed to be showing off and wanted everyone to know Li Xue-Qi came on her husband's account.

Sure enough, everyone in the hall went into yet another shock.

"Qiu Luo's family is incredible!"

"They even managed to invite the eldest daughter of the Li family here!"

"Old Master Qiu, the Qiu family has found themselves true talent!"

Many people were shocked and filled with envy.

"Haha, my Yingying didn't disappoint me. She found me the perfect grandson-in-law."

Li Xue-Qi's arrival undoubtedly made uplifted Old Master Qiu.

Old Master Qiu wanted to personally welcome Li Xue-Qi, but on second thought, he had to appear more dignified since he was the head of the Qiu family. No matter how powerful Li Xue-Qi was, she was from a younger generation. So how could he welcome her personally?

So Old Master Qiu waved his hands and instructed, "Wen-Fei, hurry over. Miss Li came personally to congratulate us, so we can't be rude. Hurry up and bring Miss Li over."

"Sure, Grandpa," said Chu Wen-Fei, who was undoubtedly terribly excited.

At first, Chu Wen-Fei didn't dare to welcome her. It didn't cross his mind that she came on account of him.

Had his father already become that powerful?

He even managed to get connected to the Li family?

If his father weren't powerful enough, then Chu Wen-Fei would be pulling a huge bluff today!

So Chu Wen-Fei chuckled as he immediately walked towards Li Xue-Qi without hesitation under everyone's envious stares with his head held high.

He was proud and in such high spirits.

Just like that, Chu Wen-Fei reached his hand out to Li Xue-Qi and said, "Miss Li, how do you do? It's just a little party, so I didn't think you would come over personally. But I will remember this favor and my wife, and I will visit you to show our appreciation," said Chu Wen-Fei smugly. His grin was so broad that his mouth was big enough for an apple as he went over to shake Li Xue-Qi's hand.

When Li Xue-Qi saw this youth who popped out of nowhere, she couldn't help frowning as she asked perplexedly, "And you are?"

What?

Li Xue-Qi's words left everyone confused.

What on earth was going on here?

Chu Wen-Fei was especially angry.

He cursed in his heart.

What the hell?

She came on account of him but didn't even know him?!

Did she make some mistake?

"Miss Li, he's Chu Wen-Fei. Didn't you come to congratulate us because of him?" asked Qiu Guang perplexedly.

"Chu Wen-Fei?" asked Li Xue-Qi as she frowned, "Who is Chu Wen-Fei? I don't know him. I came to congratulate Mr Chu. Isn't this Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony?"
