A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 519 Dinner at Great China Building

"What the hell is wrong with you? What do you know? You're just a country bumpkin, so what could you know? Don't tell me you really think that this Mr Chu who's the leader of all Yanjing is that little lover boy of yours? He's just a pauper! How could he be worthy to be Mr Chu? You're seriously an idiot!" Li Yuan snapped at Li Xiao-Hong, upset that she had been interrupted.

"Enough, Yuanyuan. She's just a country bumpkin, so don't bother getting yourself all upset, just eat. By the way, you've been with Xiao-Tian for quite a while now right, how are the both of you getting along? When are you bringing him home to let us see him?" Li Yuan's mother, Sun Li-Ping stared at Li Xiao-Hong like she was an idiot, but didn't say anything to her. Instead, she just changed the topic to Li Yuan. "Mum, Dad, I was about to tell you about this. Xiao Tian said he wants to have dinner with us tonight," said Li Yuan with a smile.

"Oh? You're finally willing to let us see your precious Xiao-Tian? You two have been going out for so long and it's high time the parents of both sides should meet. If possible, we should settle on a wedding date. Xiao-Tian's background is pretty good. Even though he can't be compared to those up and coming families, he's definitely richer than us. Since you've managed to snag such a son-in-law, don't let him ge away," said Sun Li-Ping anxiously.

Li Lu-Bin shook his head and laughed. "Getting married is a big thing, so we shouldn't hurry them. But it's time we ought to see him. Have you decided where and what time to meet? We should get ready and go over, then Xiao-Tian doesn't have to pick us up."

"He hasn't decided on which restaurant yet, Xiao-Tian said he'll let me know in the afternoon," replied Li Yuan.

Suddenly, a pair of bright footsteps came from outside the door.

A beautiful lady in a black suit and high heels knocked on the door gently.

"Excuse me, is Miss Li in?"

"You are...?" Li Lu-Bin and his family were surprised by the arrival of this woman.

"Hello, I am a staff of Yanjing's Great China Building. A gentleman has planned a dinner on the highest floor of Great China Building tonight for Miss Li. This is the invitation card. Dinner will start at 7PM, and I hope Miss Li can come on time for the dinner. If you have no other questions, I will take my leave."

The lady in a suit left the invitation card with them and left soon after.

Li Lu-Bin and his family were so surprised that they remained in a daze and didn't say anything.

"A dinner on the highest floor of Great China Building? A staff has sent us an invitation card personally? My goodness, Yuanyuan, this Xiao-Tian of yours is amazing!" Li Lu-Bin was practically yelling excitedly. But of course, Li Yuan's mother was even more excited.

"That's right, Yuanyuan! That's Great China Building, the tallest building in Yanjing! Those who have dinner there isn't just a show of opulence, but a symbol of power and status! Your mother has never gone to the highest floor of Great China Building to eat before. In fact, even those up and coming families like the Xue and Lin families are not eligible to eat there. I can't believe I'm going to be able to bask in my daughter's glory and go up to the highest building and look down on all of Yanjing!"

Sun Li-Ping was going crazy from happiness.

They looked at the invitation card again and again. It was really an official invitation card from Great China Building.

And the person invited was really Miss Li.

"Hurry up and take a picture to post on social media! Make all your aunts jealous! Tell them that our Yuanyuan has found an amazing husband!"

Li Lu-Bin and his family were so excited.

They took photos and uploaded everything on social media and couldn't wait to tell the whole world that they were going to have dinner at Great China Building.

After all, Great China Building was the highest point of Yanjing!

It took more than just money to be able to stand there!

You had to be someone important enough too.

Li Lu-Bin and his family never imagined they would get the chance to stand there one day!

And now, it was going to happen this very night.

The three of them could almost imagine the envious looks of everyone else.

"Come on, Yuanyuan, let's get some clothes! Buy something expensive! Tonight, Mummy is going to make sure you get Xiao-Tian as your husband. If you miss such a husband, you might regret it for the rest o your life!" Sun Li-Ping then went out with her daughter to buy clothes and dress themselves up.

The afternoon passed just like that.

At 6PM, the family couldn't sit still anymore.

Li Lu-Bin drove the car to the entrance and hurried them, "You two ladies, that's quite enough. You've already spent the whole afternoon dressing up. If we don't leave soon, we'll be late." Sun Li-Ping and her daughter quickly came running out.

The two of them were dressed to the nines, especially Li Yuan herself. Her elegant long dress and charming make up made her look like a princess. "Daddy, I want to go too."

Just when all of them were about to head off, Li Xiao-Hong finally plucked up her courage to ask after thinking about it the entire afternoon.

PAK!

Before Li Lu-Bin could reply, Sun Li-Ping slapped Li Xiao-Hong's face.

Her fair and small face now had an additional red palm print.

"Pingping, why did you hit her?" Li Lu-Bin became anxious immediately.

"Li Lu-Bin, you still have the cheek to ask me? You asked me why I hit her? She's just a country bumpkin and she wants to go? Whatever for? To embarrass us? If Xiao-Tian finds out we've got this extra burden in the house, what would he think? He'd definitely deduct points from our Yuanyuan! If she goes, then this wonderful marriage would end up getting ruined by her!" said Sun Li-Ping angrily. Li Yuan flew into a rage when she heard this as well.

She marched over in her long dress and gave Li Xiao-Hong a slap too.

"You evil woman! You're deliberately trying to ruin my marriage prospects, aren't you? You're jealous that I've found such a good husband and you want to create trouble. My family has been feeding you and clothing you and you repay us like this? What an evil woman! How malicious! You think you can go to Great China Building? Don't you think you're being shameless when you say such things? Go take a piss and look at yourself in the pee!" shouted Li Yuan viciously.

"I didn't, I just wanted to have a look, I really didn't intend to ruin anything..." Li Xiao-Hong shook her head profusely and started to cry from feeling upset.

The two red palm prints on her face were very apparent.
