Predictably enough, Li Er and the rest behind him immediately looked over immediately after Zhu Gong-Chen shouted.
The minute Li Er's eyes met Chu Wen-Fei's, his entire expression darkened.
"Did you say he's Mr Chu?" Li Er and the rest glared at Chu Wen-Fei as if he was a complete idiot.
Those were the grimmest looking faces Chu Wen-Fei had ever seen in his life.
"That's right, my husband is Mr Chu," said Tian Xiu-Xiu proudly with the raise of her chin. She obviously hadn't noticed how severe everyone else's expressions were.
When she spotted Lei San standing next to Li Er, she looked even smugger than before.
"You're Master Lei San, right? I'm not sure if you still remember my father, Tian Wei-Min. Back then, my father's business ran into some trouble and wanted to ask you for help. He waited in the middle of winter outside your house for three days and three nights, and even after he had collapsed and died outside your gate, he still didn't get to see your face. Master San, I have to say, you really thought you were some big shot then, didn't you?”
"But life is always so unpredictable. I'm sure you never imagined that the Tian Wei-Min you despised so deeply back then would have a daughter who would marry into high society. My father lost his life back then and never got to see you, but now, you've come all the way here just to congratulate me on my wedding day."
"But Master San, no need to worry. I will let bygones be bygones, as long as you toast my father three cups of wine, bow and apologize to him. If you do that, then I will let the past go and we're even."
Tian Xiu-Xiu sneered proudly at Lei San as she said these words and looked like she didn't fear him at all.
After all, she thought that Lei San had come all the way here because her in-laws were more powerful than Lei San.
Otherwise, there was no reason why he would come all the way here to attend her wedding. Since she had the upper hand now, she was going to help to avenge her father!
But Lei San had no idea what on earth Tian Xiu-Xiu was going on about at all. He stared at her but simply couldn't recall who this woman was.
"Xiu-Xiu, that's quite enough," said Chu Wen-Fei as he signaled her with his eyes to tell her to watch her words.
"Don't worry, Wen-Fei, I won't go too far," replied Tian Xiu-Xiu before looking back at Lei San.
"So? Master San, are you unwilling to apologize? You'd better think this over carefully - once I'm married into the Chu family, I will become their daughter-in-law. The Tian family wasn't very powerful, I agree. But I will soon become the missus of the Chu family in Yunzhou, and we will make sure that you won't be able to hold your position in Jingzhou," threatened Tian Xiu-Xiu coldly.
But before Lei San could say anything, Chu Wen-Fei exploded and slapped Tian Xiu-Xiu to the ground.
Tian Xiu-Xiu was terribly shocked.
"Wen-Fei, what are you doing?!" cried out Tian Xiu-Xiu as she clutched her face.
"What am I doing?! How dare you ask me such a stupid question! You crazy bitch! Are you trying to get my entire family into hot soup?!" Chu Wen-Fei nearly peed himself when he heard how Tian Xiu-Xiu tried to threaten Lei San.
Didn't she know what sort of power the Lei family of Jingzhou had? Even Li Er wasn't as powerful as Lei San was.
There was no way Chu Wen-Fei's family could match up to that at all.
But this crazy woman actually dared to say such nasty things to Lei San and even threatened his position.
What was SHE trying to do? She was obviously courting death at this rate!
Chu Wen-Fei was already terrified by the fact that they had walked into the wrong wedding venue.
And now, his stupid wife was trying to show off and talk big.
