A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 345 Meeting the In-Laws
Qiu Guang also nodded and said, "Dad, Yingying's suggestion is really good. Let's just go with it. The Qiu family has remained very quiet in Yunzhou for a long time now, so it's high time we threw a party and become more high profile. This would help to increase both yours and the Qiu family's reputation."
Everyone in the Qiu family was clapping and commending Qiu Mu-Ying for coming up with this plan.
Master Qiu also nodded along satisfactorily. He looked towards Qiu Mu-Ying approvingly and said, "Yingying, you've got really good ideas."
"We'll go according to this plan. On November 11th, the Qiu family will also have a ribbon cutting ceremony! We will invite all the rich and powerful of Yunzhou to celebrate with us!"
Master Qiu gave his approval and this matter was confirmed.
Master Qiu also got Qiu Mu-Ying to be the one in charge of this ceremony while Qiu
Guang was to be her assistant.
"Yingying, if you need anything, just let me know. Since we're going ahead with a ceremony, then you must do a good job and make sure it's at least better than Mufan Real Estate's. Our family is fairly reputable in Yunzhou after all, so we must not embarrass ourselves, understand?" Master Qiu added on some instructions as he spoke to Qiu Mu-Ying.
Qiu Mu-Ying replied confidently, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll make sure that this ceremony is super grand and opulent, and make sure that Qiushui Group's name spreads far and wide!"
"Alright," Master Qiu nodded assuredly. "By the way, Yingying, you've been engaged to Wen-Fei for quite a while now, so I think we should discuss the wedding date and confirm it as soon as possible." "Your Grandpa can't wait to have a greatgrandchild, you know?" Master Qiu's words made everyone laugh.
Qiu Mu-Ying blushed in a rare moment of shyness. "Grandpa, I'll have to rely on the elders to decide on our wedding. Wen-Fei and I don't know anything about choosing a date, so we'll go with whatever you decide."
"Haha!" Master Qiu burst out laughing at Qiu Mu-Ying's shy and reddened face. "In that case, go and pick a time with Wen-Fei so that we can meet his parents."
"That's right, Yingying. You two have been engaged for so long but we still haven't met Wen-Fei's parents. This isn't acceptable."
"Don't tell me Wen-Fei's parents are unhappy with our precious granddaughter?"
"Yingying, go and talk to Wen-Fei tonight. This shouldn't drag on. Getting married is not child's play and the parents of both sides should talk about this as soon as possible," said Qiu Guang and the other family members.
The Qiu family was very active when it came to Qiu Mu-Ying's marriage to Chu
Wen-Fei.
But what puzzled them was how they hadn't met with Chu Wen-Fei's parents even though the two were engaged for so long already.
Before this, Qiu Mu-Ying's parents had tried to meet up with Chu Wen-Fei's parents several times, but Chu Wen-Fei just stammered a response and found all sorts of excuses to not meet.
And now, several months had passed since the engagement.
Now that Master Qiu mentioned it, even Qiu Mu-Ying started replaceing it strange herself.
So after this family meeting was done, Qiu Mu-Ying went home and immediately asked Chu Wen-Fei about this.
"Oh, about meeting my parents...well, that..." Chu Wen-Fei's expression changed very slightly and he started stumbling over his words.
"Well what?! Chu Wen-Fei, what do you mean by this? Why don't you let me see your parents? Tell me honestly, are you sincere about marrying me? You've already been sleeping with me for so long, don't tell me you just want me to be your partner and you don't intend to marry me?!" Qiu Mu-Ying shrieked at Chu Wen-Fei as she questioned him angrily.
Chu Wen-Fei immediately felt his head burst when Qiu Mu-Ying questioned him like that and there was much bitterness in his heart.
Did he not want to bring Qiu Mu-Ying to see his parents?
Of course he wanted her to meet them!
But the problem was that his parents didn't accept her as their daughter-in-law at all.
Chu Wen-Fei still remembered how his father had angrily said that Qiu Mu-Ying was famous in Yunzhou as a money grubber on his engagement day, and even said that if Chu Wen-Fei married her, his father would disown him.
And all this time, Chu Wen-Fei didn't dare to call his father or even return home. He would only call his mother.
Chu Wen-Fei was caught in between and now Qiu Mu-Ying was talking about meeting his parents again. He knew it was going to be difficult to fool her, so he could only say that he would try.
"Yingying, don't overthink it. My parents do like you. They aren't willing to see you only because they were angry about what happened the last time. Remember how we spent a few million at Yunjing Hotel and got detained by the police, so my parents had to pay to get us out? Of course they were furious about this," Chu Wen-Fei attempted to explain things to her.
Qiu Mu-Ying became upset at these words. "It's just a few million! Isn't you father a billionaire? Why is he so petty? He's angry with us over just this little bit of money?"
"Yingying, it's not about the money, it's about reputation. Of course my dad doesn't care about the money. But we embarrassed him and he's very sensitive about this. We embarrassed him and his folks even though we his son and daughter-in-law, so of course he's angry."
"I didn't get you to meet them before this because I wanted to wait until my parents have cooled down. Now that you want to meet them, I'll call my mum in a while to check with her, alright?" Chu Wen-Fei continued to coax Qiu Mu-Ying.
But because it was too late at night, Chu Wen-Fei didn't call because he was afraid of disturbing their sleep. He finally called his mother the next morning.
Chu Wen-Fei tried all means and ways to convince his mother.
Eventually Chu Wen-Fei's mother, Zhang Li, agreed to meet this Qiu Mu-Ying that night.
She was also curious as to what sort of woman Qiu Mu-Ying was. She wanted to know who was this woman who bewitched her son into even disobeying his parents.
One day passed very quickly.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had knocked off extra early and even called Ye Fan to pick her.
Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony was just a few days away, so Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to buy suitable clothes for Ye Fan and pick up some clothes for her parents as well.
After all, her parents would probably want to be part of the fun at the opening ceremony as well, and the way they dressed was very important, so Qiu Mu-Cheng took great care of that.
"Mu-Cheng, the clothes here are all very expensive, are you sure you want to buy something from here? Aren't you afraid of spending all your salary?"
Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were walking along a busy street, and this street was filled with high end brands. Most people just looked at the things here and didn't buy them. After all, everything here cost a few thousand or even more than $10,000, so 90% of the population would give up the thought of buying just by looking at the price tag.
