Yunjing Hotel.
When Chu Wen-Fei and company arrived at the hotel, it was already dark and the place was just beginning to light up.
At this hour, the nightlife was just starting and plenty of people were out and about for their dinners. Since Yunjing Hotel was one of the few five-star hotels in Yunzhou, plenty of guests had already arrived and the car park in front of the hotel was nearly filled to capacity.
"Ying-Ying. Wen-Fei. There are so many cars here. Do you think we can find a parking spot?" Jiang Hong, their second aunt, asked worriedly.
But Qiu Mu-Ying waved her hand dismissively and smiled. "Don't worry. Who do you think my husband is? He is Mr. Chu of Yunzhou. Don't you remember? The last time we were here, Young Master Shen even came out personally to welcome us. As long as my husband is here, you have nothing to worry about."
Just then, Chu Wen-Fei cleared his throat and bragged nonchalantly. "Auntie, since I am here tonight, you have absolutely nothing to worry about."
"Hahaha~"
"Wen-Fei is the one with clout after all."
"He is in a different league from Qiu Mu-Cheng's good-for-nothing husband."
"Ying-Ying, don't worry about that partnership with Hongqi Group. Sooner or later, the reins of control will go back to you. Qiu Mu-Cheng is just not capable enough to handle such an important project."
As Jiang Hong and the other Qius praised Chu Wen-Fei, they did not forget to console Qiu Mu-Ying as well.
While they were chatting away, someone walked over from in front of them and knocked on Chu Wen-Fei's car window.
"Sir, the car park is full and the road ahead is blocked. Please wait here for some of the cars to leave first."
"What?"
"You want us to wait?"
"You ignorant fool! Don't you know who we are?"
Right after she had finished bragging to her aunt, the security guard had come over to tell them to wait. It was only natural for Qiu Mu-Ying to feel vexed, and so she started to lash out at him. "Even your boss has to respectfully address my husband as 'Mr. Chu.' In Yunzhou, only we get to keep people waiting.”
Naturally, the security guard was irked by her rudeness. He snorted and said, "Fine. Since you want to turn a deaf ear to my goodwill, then you can go move your car forward. I am sure you can afford to pay for damages, if you add to the jam and scratch any of the cars over there."
"How dare you try to show off here. Your car is just a lousy Benz C-Class."
After saying his piece, the security guard could no longer be bothered with them. He turned around and went back to directing the other vehicles.
"Darling, don't listen to him. Let's go forward."
"The weather is so hot. If we stay here, we are going to get cooked alive," Qiu Mu-Ying said irresponsibly.
But Chu Wen-Fei's heart grew cold when he saw the Porsches, Maseratis and other multi-million yuan cars lined up before him.
If he scratched one by accident, how much compensation would he have to pay?
"Ying-Ying, let us wait a bit longer. There is a jam ahead of us. We can't just squeeze in," Chu Wen-Fei said in a consolatory tone.
And so, Qiu Mu-Ying could do nothing but curse at her misfortune.
Just then, she noticed a Benz S600 going past them on the road. But it did not make a turn at the main driveway. Instead, it headed straight for a side entrance.
The gate opened by itself and, with no obstacles to impede its progress, the car cruised into the hotel.
When Qiu Mu-Ying saw this, she turned to yell at the security guard. "How come that car could go in just like that?”
"That's the VIP passage. You can't use it unless you are a VIP," the security guard explained.
When Qiu Mu-Ying heard this, her eyes lit up right away. And then she smiled. "Darling, we are VIPs too. Now, let us turn around and move to that VIP passage."
But Chu Wen-Fei felt unsure. "Will this work?"
"Why wouldn't it? Don't forget. We were once personally invited by Shen Jiu-Yi. You are Mr. Chu. So you do have the right to use the VIP passage. Leave it to the commoners to use the regular entrance.” And Qiu Mu-Ying haughtily told her relatives to follow them.
Soon, all the Qius' vehicles started to move toward the VIP passage. The security guard who had scolded Qiu Mu-Ying earlier saw this, and he laughed mockingly. "You people? You are just a bunch of bumpkins. You will only make fools of yourselves if you try to use that passage."
And just as expected.
When they reached the gate, Chu Wen-Fei and company were stopped by a guard. The gate remained closed and the Qius were not allowed to pass through.
Qiu Mu-Ying blew her top right away, and got down from the car to reason with the guard. Pointing at the Benz that had just gone in, she screamed angrily, "Why? Why are you keeping us out? Didn't you just let them in?!"
"Why do you have so many questions? You do not have the right to use the VIP passage, so get lost right now!" The security guard, however, told them to leave right away. He did not have the patience to listen to their nonsense.
Meanwhile, the Benz S600 had already come to a stop. When the doors opened, one man and two women stepped down from the vehicle.
