A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 7

"The Chu family of Great China is here to present their betrothal gift."

The elderly herald had an energetic voice that resounded throughout the hall.

Immediately after, he waved his hand and the gift bearers standing by opened their boxes and displayed the betrothal gifts.

"May abundant wealth fill your hall. Here is a platinium necklace."

"May your love for each other be eternal. Here is a diamond ring—"

"May your love be truer than gold. Here is a pair of gold earrings-”

"You are one in a thousand. Here is ten thousand and one in cash-"

One by one, the boxes were opened and the gifts presented. All at once, the air shimmered with the gleam and sparkle from all the jewellery.

And finally, after all the jewellery had been presented, a brand new sports car was pushed forward by an underling.

"This-"

"This... This is?"

"A car fit for a CEO. It's a Maserati!"

"Whoa. They are giving away a car just like that. It must be worth millions?"

The Qiu family members had worked themselves into a state of frenzy. Their eyes were filled with shock and amazement as they stared at the precious offerings in front of them.

Only a tycoon could afford all that!

To think that, they would give away a betrothal gift that was worth millions.

"A tycoon. That's a tycoon right there."

The assembled guests were full of praise for this overwhelming display of wealth.

As for Qiu Mu-Cheng, she was in a daze. "All these are for me?"

"Stop dreaming. You've been married for three years already. Why would you get any betrothal gift? These are obviously for our Ying-Ying."

"Ying-Ying, come quick. Say your thanks to our in-laws."

Wang Qiao-Yu was overjoyed. She thought that they had lost face today, but who would have thought there would be a plot twist and the Chu family would deliver such valuable gifts in the end.

After making their delivery, the gift bearers left without a word. At the restaurant, only the betrothal gifts and the Qiu family members were left hanging around.

"Wen-Fei, we have misunderstood you."

"Your family must have gone to great expense, to deliver so many valuable gifts.” Wang Qiao-Yu had once again resumed her friendly demeanor with Chu Wen-Fei.

Qiu Mu-Ying was also smiling now, after her earlier tantrum. She stepped forward to hug Chu Wen-Fei and said cutely:

"Darling, you are so mean. Since you have already prepared so many gifts, why didn't you say so earlier?"

The change in their attitude came so fast that it was enough to make anyone speechless.

And of course, the other guests had nice things to say as well.

"Wen-Fei's family is so rich."

"That's a tycoon for you. A single betrothal gift costs several million."

"A life of comfort awaits Ying-Ying~"

The onlookers were full of envy. Although they had heard the herald ask for the third daughter of the Qiu family, they just assumed that the other party had made a mistake. After all, it was the day of the fourth daughter's engagement. Nobody would think that the betrothal gifts were for a woman who had already been married for three years.

Of course, Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family felt rather unpleasant.

"Ai, look at their son-in-law. His betrothal gift is a car that's worth millions. And those jewellery must be very valuable too. And look at ours. What did he give us?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng kept quiet and not a trace of emotion could be seen on her face.

As for Chu Wen-Fei, he was pleasantly surprised. He had thought that his father was ready to abandon him. But then, looking at the betrothal gifts, it was obvious that no expense had been spared to prepare them. To think that his own father would try to surprise him by pretending to belittle him at first and then raise him up later.

"Haha~"

"It's a piece of cake. It's not a big deal."

"Ying-Ying, in the future, I won't be giving you just cars. But also luxury yachts and private planes as well. I will bring you on a trip round the world.” Chu Wen-Fei could not resist showing off again.
