Han Li and Qiu Lei couldn't think of any other reason.
It couldn't be because of the two of them.
Neither of them was capable, so nobody would care about them.
Han Li knew that much about herself.
As for Ye Fan?
Oh please.
He was a country bumpkin and a live-in son-in-law no less. Only a blind person would come for his sake.
These men had congratulated Ye Fan only because he was married to their daughter.
With such considerations in mind, Han Li and Qiu Lei became even friendlier than before.
They were still upset about how there were no rich young men trying to woo their daughter.
And now they had all come at once.
Of course Han Li was thrilled.
When Sun Yu-Hao had run off at the last minute, Han Li and Qiu Lei were terribly disappointed and thought that they had missed a golden opportunity to snag a rich son-in-law.
But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
They were glad that Sun Yu-Hao had run off back then. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the chance to hook their daughter up with a truly powerful one like Young Master Lei here.
Once Qiu Mu-Cheng was engaged to the Lei family, Han Li was determined to send Sun Yu-Hao a wedding invitation to rub it in his face!
So what if Sun Yu-Hao didn't care for her daughter? Someone even better had come along now.
"Come, Young Master Lei, have some tea.
My Mu-Cheng made this cup specially for you. It's high grade Maojian tea, and it's a few thousand for just 500 grams." Han Li sat next to Lei Ao-Ting and continued to serve him and acted all friendly around him.
Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan were seated elsewhere and was drinking their own tea.
"This...er...Auntie, that's not very nice, right? I'm not worthy of drinking tea made by Miss Qiu."
Lei Ao-Ting started to panic. Han Li's friendliness was making him feel very uncomfortable.
He felt like he had stolen the limelight from Mr Chu and his wife, and it was as if he was the host now.
"Why do you say that? It's our great honor to have you at this event. Don't talk about making tea - it's right for Mu-Cheng to even give a toast to you," laughed Han Li merrily as she forced Lei Ao-Ting to drink the tea down.
After he finished the tea, Han Li asked him with great anticipation, "How's it? My daughter makes good tea, doesn't she?"
Of course Lei Ao-Ting didn't dare to say otherwise. He quickly nodded profusely and complimented, "Miss Qiu is really good in these things."
"Hoho, that's great to hear." Han Li nodded with a pleased look on her face and continued, "Young Master Lei, since you've already finished the tea, let me ask you some questions. You must answer me honestly."
"Huh?" Lei Ao-Ting started to get annoyed with Han Li. He felt that Mr Chu's mother-in-law was seriously longwinded and kept talking to him nonstop since she sat down next to him. He didn't even get a chance to talk to Mr Chu at all.
But she was Mr Chu's mother-in-law after all, so Lei Ao-Ting didn't dare to be rude. He just put his best smile on and said, "Auntie, please go ahead and ask me anything you like."
"Good. Young Master Lei, what do you think of our Mu-Cheng's looks?"
"Oh of course she's naturally gorgeous and even the flowers feel ashamed of themselves next to her. Miss Qiu is the prettiest woman I've seen in my life," Lei Ao-Ting blurted out without thinking, and used the most flattering words he knew.
Mr Chu was watching him, so of course Lei Ao-Ting had to say that she was pretty.
Besides, Lei Ao-Ting was speaking from his heart as well.
Mr Chu's wife was indeed a rare beauty.
And it was because she was such a rare beauty, she had managed to capture the heart of a capable man like Mr Chu, right?
