As the saying goes, the size of the Buddha statue depends on the size of the temple.
Old Master Qiu did have some self-awareness.
He knew that being able to get people like Wu Yong and Wang Tian to congratulate him was already his limit.
But now half of the powers of Jiangdong had arrived, and the Qiu family really didn't deserve this.
And that's why Qiu Guang was so horrified.
His voice was trembling even when he was asking Chu Wen-Fei.
"I...I didn't...I didn't invite them," Chu Wen-Fei was clearly frightened too.
Even when Shen Jiu-Wan and Li Xue-Qi came, he still had some guts to welcome them.
But now he was faced with the young master of the Lei family from Jingzhou and the daughter of Chen Ao in Jianghai.
These people represented truly powerful people, and their fathers were big shots in Jiangdong with extremely high positions of power.
Even if you multiplied Chu Wen-Fei's courage by ten, he wouldn't dare to say that these people were here for him, and would definitely not dare to welcome them in.
But it wasn't just Chu Wen-Fei. When people with fathers in the government like Wang Tian and Nangong Ling heard Lei San and Chen Ao's names being announced, their expressions also changed.
Perhaps the only person who was still able to sit still was the son of Wu Wei-Tao, Wu Yong.
"Why are all of you so panicky? Doesn't it look good on the Qius if these people came to congratulate you? Shouldn't you be happy about it? Why are all of you so crestfallen as if the world is ending?" laughed Wu Yong quietly. He sat in the lobby as he sipped tea with a calm expression on his face.
Old Master Qiu and the rest immediately glanced back at Wu Yong when they heard these nonchalant words from him.
Chu Wen-Fei exclaimed, "Wu Yong, you mean you were the one who invited all these people here?"
Wu Yong shook his head. "I wouldn't look at it that way. But I did get to meet the daughter of the Chen family of Jianghai a few times, and I did invite Miss Chen to drop by Yunzhou someday."
"I didn't expect her to come today."
"My god, Wu Yong, you're amazing!" His best friends, Wang Tian and Nangong Lin were amazed.
"Wu Yong, you truly live up to being the son of Mayor Wu."
"All the girls simply love you."
"All it took was a few meetings for the daughter of the Chen family to become so attached to you. Look how far she's come just to see you!"
"Ohoho, looks like it won't be long before we get to attend Wu Yong's wedding!"
Nangong Ling and Wang Tian laughed merrily as they sang Wu Yong's praises, but they were actually feeling terribly jealous and envious.
The three of them were close, and it was no secret that Wu Yong had a thing for the daughter of the Chen family.
Ever since Wu Yong accompanied his father to a party and met Chen Nan for the first time there, his soul had been completely bewitched by this gorgeous young lady.
From then on, Wu Yong often declared that he would marry nobody else but Chen Nan, and kept trying to find ways to make Chen Ao's daughter his.
But neither Wang Tian nor Nangong Ling could be bothered with him. After all, even though Wu Yong was not of lowly birth, it wasn't going to be easy for him to get to Chen Ao's daughter.
But in just one year, they were surprised that Wu Yong and Chen Nan had advanced to this stage.
