The Man In Rage novel Chapter 425

At the Xu family in Yanjing.

There were many cars parked in front of a massive estate.

Countless rich and powerful people of Yanjing came with their wives both in fine outfits. Servants came out to lead them into the hall.

The Xu family was causing quite a stir today. There were vividly colored flowers, a bright red carpet, and decorations in the courtyard, so their estate was splendidly adorned.

The passersby couldn't help turning to look as they stared at the guests flocking over and the posh cars parked outside their estate.

"What's going on in the Xu residence?”

"Is Miss Xu Lei getting married today?"

"Isn't it taking place on 12th December?"

The passersby were looking at the Xu residence quizzically.

Many people kept gossiping.

"Oh my, how could you have known nothing about this huge event? They didn't set this up for the second daughter of the Xu family. This is for their eldest daughter, Xu Mei-Feng. It's her birthday today. A month ago, the Xu family already released information to the media and marketed it and invited all the elite to attend it," said someone in the know.

What?

"It's just a birthday, but they're making it such a grand affair."

"There must be miles of cars out here!"

"At least half the rich and powerful of Yanjing are here!"

"It's the Xu family after all. Their family has a long history in Yanjing, so it's incomparably grand."

After they found out that a birthday banquet was being held for the eldest daughter of the Xu family, they were

instantly envious.

Many women coveted for such a grand birthday party and felt that was how one should live.

A birthday party already surpassed a state banquet!

The birthday parties of average citizens like them certainly couldn't compare to theirs.

"I think that this birthday party is just a gimmick. They are probably trying to find Miss Xu Mei-Feng a husband."

"Miss Xu Lei is getting married soon, so Miss Xu Mei-Feng is clearly anxious since she older than her."

"But I feel so sorry for Miss Xu Lei. She's not too bad herself, but ended up getting engaged to that playboy from the Xue family." "Miss Xu Lei will probably forever get stepped on by Miss Xu Mei-Feng!"

At the thought of that, many people couldn't help shaking their heads and feel sorry for Xu Lei.

Marriage was like a second lease of life to women.

If they married well, even nobodies could live like queens.

If they didn't marry well, then they could forget about holding their heads up high for the rest of their lives.

Many passersby gathered outside to look and chat about the Xu family.

Distinguished people from all spheres assembled in the Xu family's halls. Countless rich and powerful gathered together to socialize, and it was bustling with activity. But Xu Mei-Feng, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, who seemed as precious as a canary, undoubtedly garnered the most attention.

Though it was strangely quiet in one of the rooms in the bungalow while the party went on downstairs.

It was cold as autumn in there as the lavish party went on outside.

A stunning and elegant woman sat silently before a window in the room.

Although sunlight was seeping through the fine window shades and scattering lightly on her, she was covered with a haze.

From a distance, the scene appeared particularly sad.

If seemed as though someone was sitting in the corner and forgotten by the world. Despite the extravagant banquet right outside, the room was sad and cold.

"Miss Xu, they've gone too far! It's your birthday today, but no one bothered to say anything about it, and they even placed you under house arrest! They are such bullies!" blurted Lin Wen-Jing from behind in a fury.

Lin Wen-Jing walked in from outside and continued ranting to Xu Lei, "Miss Xu, it's bustling with activity out there. The T'ang family from the south, the Su family from the north, and even the Tang family from Jinling sent people to wish Xu Mei-Feng a happy birthday. Xu Mei-Feng is so smug now that she's acting like she's some princess. It doesn't cross her mind that she can now enjoy all this attention because of your parents' hard work. She was ungrateful to your parents and even placed you under house arrest. Now she wants to just marry you off to some stranger. Xu Mei-Feng keeps claiming it's for your own good, but they must have wanted to chase you out of the Xu family ages ago and openly take over the Xu family's assets!"

The more Lin Wen-Jing thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so furious that her face was crimson red.

She had been with the Xu family for a long time and knew their situation well.
