A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 520 Turn of Events

"Daddy, I really don't have any evil intentions and I don't intend to make trouble. I just want to have a look. I just want to see if it's Mr Chu..." Li Xiao-Hong's voice broke and her tears poured down her face.

Her voice trembled as she tried to explain to Li Lu-Bin.

Li Lu-Bin got Li Yuan and her mother into the car, then sighed, "Xiao-Hong, I know, Daddy knows. But you really can't go for the dinner tonight."

"But why? Do you also feel that I'm embarrassing? You can tell them that I'm your assistant, you don't have to say that I'm your daughter. Let me tag along? I can just look from the side too." For some reason, Li Xiao-Hong just had this feeling.

She just felt that she might be able to see Ye Fan again at Great China Building.

This could be the last time she would meet

Ye Fan.

She was happy to just see him once.

"You silly girl! Xiao-Hong, why are you still so stubborn? Do you really think that country bumpkin has become the king of Yanjing? Do you really think that punk is the one inviting you to this dinner at Great China Building? Stop dreaming! That punk is already in trouble himself, so how could he treat you to dinner? And at Great China Building?! Besides, even if he really became the king of Yanjing, do you think he would remember you? He would have forgotten you and gone looking for some wealthy family's daughter by now."

"On top of that, tonight's dinner has nothing to do with that punk. It's a dinner organized by your sister's boyfriend! And he's invited your sister. As for you, just be good and stay home. The car is full anyway. I'll bring some food back for you tonight."

With that, Li Lu-Bin ignored his bewitched daughter and got into the car.

Vroom...the engine started up and the car left.

Li Lu-Bin brought Li Yuan and Sun Li-Ping towards the dinner venue.

They left that pitiful looking girl to wallow in her sorrows.

The glimmer of hope in her eyes instantly faded.

Perhaps she had been too hopeful.

Just like what her father said, even if Ye Fan really became the king of Yanjing, that had nothing to do with her.

She was as lowly as dust, so how could Mr Chu even think of her.

She was just Cinderella without any transformation. Even if she met the prince, she wouldn't become his princess. Perhaps that was the difference between reality and fairytales.

Li Xiao-Hong's eyes were teary as she looked at the vast land before her.

She felt that the world was all dark.

Her life had no more color in it.

Just when Li Xiao-Hong was about to go back in, a luxury car stopped next to her.

The driver got out and asked Li Xiao-Hong politely, "Hello, is this the Li house?"

"Could you let Miss Li Xiao-Hong know that Mr Chu asked me to come and pick her up for dinner?"

What?

Li Xiao-Hong was rooted to the ground.

Her eyes were filled with shock and trembling.

"Are you saying that you...you're here to pick me?" asked Li Xiao-Hong.

This happiness had come a little too suddenly!

This turn of events came too quickly and Li Xiao-Hong suddenly felt that life was like a dream.

In a few minutes, the black luxury car drove off with Li Xiao-Hong.

The pale yellow lights shone through the quiet night sky like knives.

Nobody knew how frantic and nervous the frail girl in the car was.

"Will it be him?"

"Yuanyuan, why didn't you pick up my calls in the afternoon? I was so anxious. Where are you now? I'll go over and pick you up," came Cheng Xiao-Tian's anxious voice over the phone.

They had agreed to have dinner and he had booked a restaurant table, but couldn't get in contact with Li Yuan.

"Xiao-Tian, I went shopping with my mum this afternoon and didn't bring my phone.

You don't have to pick me, we're already on the way to Great China Building. I'll see you at the top floor later? The dinner should be ready by the time we reach there. Heh heh... Hubby, you're really wonderful, love youuuu..."

Li Yuan happily spoke cutely to her husband.

Of course she was happy.

Because of her, her boyfriend had organized a dinner at Great China Building.

That was how much effort and importance he placed on her.

"Huh? Great China Building?" Cheng Xiao-Tian got a shock.

He hadn't booked Great China Building for dinner.

Why did Li Yuan say that their family was headed there now?

Could it be a venue decided by his in-laws?

"That must be it. Yuanyuan's father must be trying to show his ability and influence, so he booked dinner at Great China Building. Li Yuan's family must be really rich!" exclaimed Cheng Xiao-Tian in his heart. Since Li Yuan had reserved a much better place, then Cheng Xiao-Tian was too embarrassed to tell her which restaurant he had booked.

After all, no other restaurant could compare to Great China Building.

That was the highest point of Yanjing!

You had to be someone important and influential to be able to go up to the top of that building.

"Haha! Sure, I'll be there in a moment, Hubby loves you too..." Cheng Xiao-Tian replied in an equally happy manner.

The Li family thought that they had found a rich son-in-law, but they didn't know that Cheng Xiao-Tian thought that he had found a huge gold bar.

This Li family was able to have dinner at Great China Building, so they were definitely no ordinary family!

But while Cheng Xiao-Tian and Li Yuan's family were still swimming in their fantasies.

Li Xiao-Hong had arrived at Great China Building at 650PM.

"Miss Li, welcome to Great China Building. Mr Chu is waiting for you on the top floor, please come with me." Four or five staff came walking over once Li Xiao-Hong alighted from the car and they led her very politely.

"Hmm? Mum, look, don't you think that person over there looks like that country bumpkin?"

Li Yuan and family had also reached Great China Building.

Li Yuan had noticed a figure walk into Great China Building with several others from a distance.

"Yuanyuan, you must have seen wrongly. How could a bastard child by a woman in the village have the right to come to a place like this? She probably won't make it past the main door and will get chased out by security!" said Sun Li-Ping with disdain.

Then she wound down the window and said to the security guards outside Great China Building, "Aren't you letting us through?"

"We've been invited to dinner here. How dare you lice block our way?" Sun Li-Ping continued to snap at them arrogantly.

"I'm really sorry, but we do not allow members of the public to drive their own cars in. If you have been invited, we would send a car to fetch you, so it's clear that you have not been invited. Please go back, you do not have the right to enter," replied the security guard coldly.

What?
