A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 521 Why Is It You?
"What the hell? Are you kidding me? Great China Building is the one who officially invited us and now we're not allowed in? That's ridiculous!" Li Yuan and her mother shouted away and looked like they were going to fight it out with the security guard.
Li Lu-Bin came up with a better idea and took out the invitation card to show the security guard.
"It's written very clearly here, and the official stamp of Great China Building is here too! If this isn't a fake, then you have no right to stop up," said Li Lu-Bin in a low voice.
The security guard immediately scrutinized the invitation card.
"Boss, it's really an invitation card from us. What do we do? Should we let them in or not?"
The security guards were in a dilemma.
According to their rules, no other cars besides their own were allowed in, but these people had a legitimate invitation
card.
"Let them in. We got a call from management saying that any members of the Li family can come in," said the team leader of the security guards as he hung up the phone.
"HAHA! You blind idiots! Now you know, huh? Now you know that we're people you lice can't afford to offend right?"
The Li family laughed gleefully as they drove off and entered the building.
It was now 655PM.
At 656PM, the Li family entered the elevator.
At 657, Li Xiao-Hong emerged from the bathroom. She was nervous, so she went to the bathroom halfway up.
At 658, Li Xiao-Hong entered an elevator too.
At 659, the Li family had reached the highest floor.
At the same time, Li Xiao-Hong had reached the highest floor with the staff leading the way.
DING DONG!
DING DONG!
The two elevators arrived at almost the same time.
The minute the lift doors opened, Li Yuan shouted excitedly, "Hubby, I'm here!"
She spread her arms out and ran towards the figure in front of the dining table.
At the same time, a faint laughter resounded.
"Xiao-Hong, you're here. Come over and sit, Lei and I have been waiting for you."
At the top floor of Great China Building, beautiful lights decorated the place.
This place overlooked all of Yanjing.
And it was at this highest point of Yanjing that Ye Fan sat with a smile on his lips as he waved gently at Li Xiao-Hong at the elevator.
Xu Lei was next to him in a long dress and her features looked like they were part of a painting. She sat next to Ye Fan and also smiled sweetly at Li Xiao-Hong.
"Miss Li, welcome to the peak of Yanjing. Fan has specially prepared dinner for you and we've been waiting for you."
Their gentle and joyful voices came one after another.
Both Li Yuan and Li Xiao-Hong became emotional in two different ways.
"Ye... Ye Fan?!" Li Yuan's eyes widened.
Her family looked like they had been struck by lightning when they spotted Ye Fan.
The expressions on their faces were as exciting as one could imagine.
"Mr...Mr Chu, it's really you?" exclaimed Li Xiao-Hong uncontrollably. Her shock soon turned into incredible joy.
She had guessed it right.
It was really Mr Chu after all.
And the one who was invited was really herself.
"That's impossible! Why is it you? How could it be you? My hubby is the one who invited me to dinner, so why is it you? You're just a poor country bumpkin, so how is this possible? And that village loser is just a lowly and despicable woman, so how could she be qualified to stand here? How could she sit at the peak of Great China Building?"
Li Yuan looked at Ye Fan and Li Xiao-Hong on the same floor as herself and her eyes turned bloodshot as she grew hysterical. There was nothing but jealousy and fury in her heart.
Sun Li-Ping just stared ahead and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The two women couldn't understand it at all. This was supposed to be a meeting between their family and their future son-in-law, so how did things become like this?
While Li Yuan and her mother were roaring away angrily, only Li Lu-Bin paled in the face and had no expression. There were so many conflicting emotions in his heart. Actually, Li Lu-Bin had realized something when he first saw Ye Fan.
Could it be that everything had turned out like what his older daughter said?
Could the hero and leader of Yanjing, the almighty Mr Chu, be this skinny young man from Jiangdong?
"Mr Chu, it's really you? I thought you wouldn't want to see me again after what happened at Wolong Hotel."
Even though Li Yuan and her mother were yelling away, Ye Fan didn't seem to have heard them.
He smiled and allowed Li Xiao-Hong to sit down next to him, to sit at the highest point of Yanjing and look down at the gorgeous city.
But Li Xiao-Hong hung her head. She wasn't sure if she was nervous or guilty, but she just curled up and didn't even dare to look at Ye Fan.
Her timid voice was filled with fear and sounded deeply apologetic.
Her father had gone overboard when the last met him at Wolong Hotel.
Li Xiao-Hong was still very sorry about it.
"Xiao-Hong, you are you, and others are others. I will not change my attitude towards you because of how someone else has offended me. You are a lovely girl and it's also my honor to be your friend. I told you the last time that I'd treat you to dinner before leaving, so I won't go back on my promise. I'm done with whatever I needed to do here, so I'll be leaving tomorrow. This dinner is my farewell dinner to you." Ye Fan then raised his glass.
He held the glass of red wine and looked at the gentle and pretty young lady before him.
"Xiao-Hong, I'm going to use this wine to give a toast to your kindheartedness and purity. It's a tough world out there that you have to face, but I hope that no matter what comes your way, you remain the way you are now!"
Ping!
Ye Fan clinked her glass, threw his head back and drank the entire glass in one mouthful.
Ye Fan had seen many people and been through many things in life.
But Li Xiao-Hong's filial piety and kindness was something that left a deep impression on Ye Fan.
Now that he was going to leave, Ye Fan hoped to use his own status to do what he could for Li Xiao-Hong.
"I got it! They must have snuck in! This country bumpkin must have snuck his way in. That must be it! The one sitting here should be my husband. This cheap country bumpkin would never be eligible to sit here. He must have snuck in when nobody was noticing. This adulterous pair is really shameless and actually dared to take my husband's seat away? Security! What is security doing? Aren't you going to chase them away?!" Li Yuan finally found a reason she could believe and immediately started yelling for the security guards.
She was supposed to have a glorious dinner tonight, but this lowly village born woman had taken it away from her. And now, Ye Fan and Li Xiao-Hong were both leisurely having wine in front of her, so Li Yuan was filled with nothing by fury and jealousy as she went hysterical.
DING DONG!
The lift doors opened again.
A middle aged man came walking over with a vase in hand.
He looked around for a bit, but after confirming which one was Ye Fan, he went over to pay his respects.
"I found out that Mr Chu has come to the peak of Yanjing, so I, Liu Zheng-Feng, would like to greet you on behalf of Yuliu Group."
"I present to you a porcelain vase from the Yuan dynasty, I hope it is to Mr Chu's liking!"
