Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Numerous luxury cars could be seen parked outside Haiyuan Pavilion, the most opulent restaurant in the whole of Yunzhou city.

Those who could afford to dine here were either rich businessmen or government officials, the elites of Yunzhou city. If a family could have their wedding banquet at this restaurant, that would be an event worth boasting about.

And so, Chu Wen-Fei arranged for the engagement banquet to be held at this very restaurant. Three private rooms were booked for this occasion.

“Wow, Ying-Ying’s fiancé is such a remarkable man!”

“Not just anyone can throw a banquet at Haiyuan Pavilion.” The Qiu family members were full of praise for this feat.

Qiu Mu-Ying raised her chin proudly as her heart brimmed over with satisfaction. Her mother too was all smiles, but she put on a show of humility and downplayed her son-in-law’s achievements.

Soon, the guests reached the entrance of Haiyuan Pavilion.

At this moment, a handsome young man in black tuxedo hurried over to the car with Qiu Mu-Ying onboard and opened the door with a smile. “Mom, dad and Ying-Ying. You’ve arrived. I’ve been waiting for you. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

“Satisfied. We’re very satisfied. Wen-Fei, you are so considerate.” The more Wang Qiao-Yu looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him.

Chu Wen-Fei’s family did not produce scholars and government officials like Jiang Yang’s, but they had money.

These days, if you had money you could accomplish a lot of things. And Chu Wen-Fei’s family was involved in real estate. Everyone knew the real estate industry was a money-maker. A decent project could earn you billions. That’s more money than what the Qiu family could make.

“That young man, he looks sharp.”

“They are a good match with each other. This Qiao-Yu found herself a good son-in-law!”

Another round of praise came from the gathered relatives.

Only Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family refrained from participating, as they were dealing with their own negative emotions.

“Uncles and aunties, please don’t just stand around. Let’s move inside.” Chu Wen-Fei has started ushering his guests into the restaurant.

But, at this moment, someone hurried over to Chu Wen-Fei and said: “Young Master Chu, it’s terrible. Something has gone wrong. The receptionist just told me they do not have enough private rooms. They told us to move to another restaurant or come another day.”

“What? They have the guts to tell me to change the date of my engagement banquet?” When Chu Wen-Fei heard this, he flew into a rage.

This turn of events caused misgiving to spread among the guests. Wang Qiao-Yu asked worriedly: “Wen-Fei, is there a problem?”

Chu Wen-Fei waved his hand dismissively. “Mom, it’s not a big deal. I can handle this. Everyone, please follow me inside.”

But just as expected, the Qiu family was stopped at the front desk. The receptionist informed them that they didn’t have any private room available and asked them to move to another restaurant.

“Screw you!”

“I want my private room and I want it now.”

“Where’s your manager? Let me see your manager. I am Chu Wen-Fei and this is my engagement banquet. Let’s see if he has the guts to embarrass me?” Chu Wen-Fei’s hollered angrily. The receptionist was so frightened by the outburst that he scurried away to find the manager.

A few minutes later.

The receptionist returned and led the guests to a private room.

“Wow, Wen-Fei. You’re good!”

“They had no choice but to agree to your demands.”

“Qiao-Yu, this son-in-law of yours has a bright future ahead!”

“Ying-Ying is going to be a rich madam in future and enjoy the good life.”

The guests let loose another torrent of praise. Wang Qiao-Yu and her family were so happy that they couldn’t stop smiling. Driven by the mood, Qiu Mu-Ying hugged her fiancé’s arm, a blissful smile plastered on her face, and said shyly, “Darling, you’re great.” The crowd laughed joyously at this public display of affection.

Chu Wen-Fei waved his hand dismissively. “Everyone, it’s not a big deal. Not worth mentioning. And the restaurant manager used to be my father’s driver. He has to respect my father. So the one who’s great is my father. Not me. I am just a fresh university graduate.”

This pretension of humility earned him full marks from the crowd.

And yet another round of praise.

“Humble and not proud. He’s destined for great things.”
