A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 395 Immense Glory and Honor

As the saying goes, the size of the Buddha statue depends on the size of the temple.

Old Master Qiu did have some self-awareness.

He knew that being able to get people like Wu Yong and Wang Tian to congratulate him was already his limit.

But now half of the powers of Jiangdong had arrived, and the Qiu family really didn't deserve this.

And that's why Qiu Guang was so horrified.

His voice was trembling even when he was asking Chu Wen-Fei.

"I...I didn't...I didn't invite them," Chu Wen-Fei was clearly frightened too.

Even when Shen Jiu-Wan and Li Xue-Qi came, he still had some guts to welcome them.

But now he was faced with the young master of the Lei family from Jingzhou and the daughter of Chen Ao in Jianghai.

These people represented truly powerful people, and their fathers were big shots in Jiangdong with extremely high positions of power.

Even if you multiplied Chu Wen-Fei's courage by ten, he wouldn't dare to say that these people were here for him, and would definitely not dare to welcome them in.

But it wasn't just Chu Wen-Fei. When people with fathers in the government like Wang Tian and Nangong Ling heard Lei San and Chen Ao's names being announced, their expressions also changed. Perhaps the only person who was still able to sit still was the son of Wu Wei-Tao, Wu Yong.

"Why are all of you so panicky? Doesn't it look good on the Qius if these people came to congratulate you? Shouldn't you be happy about it? Why are all of you so crestfallen as if the world is ending?" laughed Wu Yong quietly. He sat in the lobby as he sipped tea with a calm expression on his face.

Old Master Qiu and the rest immediately glanced back at Wu Yong when they heard these nonchalant words from him.

Chu Wen-Fei exclaimed, "Wu Yong, you mean you were the one who invited all these people here?"

Wu Yong shook his head. "I wouldn't look at it that way. But I did get to meet the daughter of the Chen family of Jianghai a few times, and I did invite Miss Chen to drop by Yunzhou someday."

"I didn't expect her to come today."

"My god, Wu Yong, you're amazing!" His best friends, Wang Tian and Nangong Lin were amazed.

"Wu Yong, you truly live up to being the son of Mayor Wu."

"All the girls simply love you."

"All it took was a few meetings for the daughter of the Chen family to become so attached to you. Look how far she's come just to see you!"

"Ohoho, looks like it won't be long before we get to attend Wu Yong's wedding!"

Nangong Ling and Wang Tian laughed merrily as they sang Wu Yong's praises, but they were actually feeling terribly jealous and envious.

The three of them were close, and it was no secret that Wu Yong had a thing for the daughter of the Chen family.

Ever since Wu Yong accompanied his father to a party and met Chen Nan for the first time there, his soul had been completely bewitched by this gorgeous young lady.

From then on, Wu Yong often declared that he would marry nobody else but Chen Nan, and kept trying to find ways to make Chen Ao's daughter his.

But neither Wang Tian nor Nangong Ling could be bothered with him. After all, even though Wu Yong was not of lowly birth, it wasn't going to be easy for him to get to Chen Ao's daughter.

But in just one year, they were surprised that Wu Yong and Chen Nan had advanced to this stage.

The daughter of the Chens had come all the way here on her own initiative to look for Wu Yong.

So upon seeing that Wu Yong was going to get the girl of his dreams soon, it was little wonder that his two best buddies were super jealous.

But after hearing this, everyone in the hall wasn't as terrified as before.

"Oh, so they're here for Young Master Wu."

"Out of all of us here, only the son of Mayor Wu, Wu Yong, would deserve such an honor."

All the questions and shock that everyone had in their minds was resolved.

Chu Wen-Fei laughed heartily as well. "Wu Yong, you're not bad, you managed to snag the daughter of the king of Jiangdong."

"I hear that Chen Ao only has one daughter, so if you marry her, then all the assets that the Chens have in Jianghai will land in your hands. Wu Yong, congratulations!" Chu Wen-Fei congratulated Wu Yong with a smile.

Even Old Master Qiu started smiling too.

"So they're here for the son of Mayor Wu. Young Master Wu is both intelligent and good looking, so it's only natural that the other powerful people of your generation would flock towards you. The Qiu family is really able to enjoy the moment thanks to Young Master Wu! Let me give you a toast, and let me congratulate Young Master Wu and Miss Chen in advance! May the both of you live happily ever after!" The hall was filled with much laughter and celebration.

After that, Old Master Qiu hurried them, "Qiu Guang, Qiu Luo, Wen-Fei, hurry up and go out with Young Master Wu to receive our guests from afar!"

"No matter who they're here for, since they're here, that makes them the Qiu family's guests. So get them to come in and welcome them warmly!" The old man continued to sit in his high chair and give out orders.

His voice was filled with such pride and honor.

He never thought that a ceremony he had created just to attack Qiu Mu-Cheng's family had turned into such a big commotion.

Besides the sons of local government officials like Wu Yong and Wang Tian, even people all the way from Jianghai and Jingzhou had come here too. Even though these guests had not come because of him, as long as they came to congratulate the Qiu family, it was good enough for the old man.

As the head of the Qiu family, Qiu Zheng-Lun felt that he was really going to become the star of the day!

"Hohohoho..." Old Master Qiu had never been happier than this.

His hearty laughter could be heard even one street away.

Meanwhile, Wu Yong, Chu Wen-Fei, and the rest had walked out of the hotel to receive their guests.

The area outside the hotel was already packed with people.

Besides the onlookers, Qiu Mu-Cheng's family and other Qiu family members were around.

"Move aside! Move aside! All these blind bats! How dare you block the way of Mayor Wu's son! All of you are useless and blind!" Wang Tian and Chu Wen-Fei helped to part the crowd for Wu Yong. When they saw Qiu Mu-Cheng's family right in front, Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Guang were immediately angered and pushed them aside roughly.

After that, the Qiu family and Wu Yong immediately ran forward to greet Chen Nan and the rest warmly.

"Miss Chen, I'm so happy that you could come today. Why didn't you tell me that you were coming? I could have gone to make preparations. Also, Young Master Lei and Young Master Wang, I'm really grateful that you could come all the way here to support me, Wu Yong. Please follow me to the hotel for the banquet."

Wu Yong laughed merrily and walked over to take Chen Nan's slim and pretty hand.

Wu Yong was now basking in glory and honor, and was the center of attention.
