What?
"For Mu-Cheng?"
Su Qian was equally surprised.
Even Ma Ming-Bo just stared at these people with wide eyes.
"An invitation card from Master Er? Are you guys sure you didn't make a mistake?" Ma Ming-Bo couldn't help but ask because he was so puzzled by this.
It wasn't that Ma Ming-Bo looked down on Qiu Mu-Cheng, but the problem was even someone like himself didn't receive this sort of special treatment.
Li Er actually specifically wanted to invite Qiu Mu-Cheng and sent someone to bring the invitation card to her.
Not even Ma Ming-Bo was eligible to be treated like that.
He figured that only someone at his father's level would get this sort of treatment.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng was just the CEO of a small company. She was an outstanding young lady among ordinary folk, but she was a small fry compared to those really rich and powerful people.
As such, Ma Ming-Bo didn't think someone like Qiu Mu-Cheng would get a personal invitation from Li Er like this.
"But of course! Did you think we would get Master Er's name wrong?" the men standing in front of the door replied in a cold and unhappy voice when they heard how Ma Ming-Bo doubted them.
Then they asked for Qiu Mu-Cheng again.
This time, Qiu Mu-Cheng slowly walked forward.
"I...I am."
Qiu Mu-Cheng was clearly surprised and she looked rather confused.
She had no idea what on earth was going on.
Even after the men who had brought the invitation card to the house had left, Qiu Mu-Cheng remained stunned and continued to stand there as she held the black invitation card with gold embossed letters.
"Mu-Cheng, do you know Master Er?" asked Su Qian in disbelief.
Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately shook her head.
Li Er was like an emperor within Yunzhou.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was just an ordinary citizen in the city, so how would she get to know a big shot like that?
"Since you don't know him, then this invitation card must be a fake. We're small fry compared to the Li family, so how could he lower himself to actually deliver an invitation card here?" said Su Qian as she shook her head.
"No, this is not a fake ticket. This is real! Also, this ticket is for the rarest supreme category of seats! Only 18 people have tickets to sit in this category. My father, Chen Ao of Jianghai and Lei San of Jingzhou have tickets to these seats. Miss Qiu, you actually managed to get an invitation to these seats - you're really more than meets the eye!" said Ma Ming-Bo in a shocked voice.
Ma Ming-Bo's words were like a huge rock falling into the sea. Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng were both incredibly shaken.
Su Qian started looking weirdly at Qiu Mu-Cheng. "Mu-Cheng, you'd better answer me honestly. Do you secretly know the Li family?”
Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to shake her head. "No, I don't. The only interaction I've ever had with that family was during the company's opening ceremony and I met the daughter of the Li family just that once. Besides, she came probably because the mayor was there, so we don't know each other."
Qiu Mu-Cheng was equally confused and couldn't figure out why Li Er would give her an invitation card.
"Alright, alright, if you can't figure it out it doesn't matter. Since this ticket is real, then we'd better get to Haiyuan Restaurant now. The banquet is going to start soon."
Su Qian didn't want to waste unnecessary time on such unimportant things, so she didn't continue probing and just hurried Qiu Mu-Cheng along to get changed and go to Haiyuan Restaurant with them.
This time, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't refuse to go.
After all, Li Er had sent someone to deliver the invitation personally. If she didn't go, then that would be disrespectful to Master Er.
The Li family was powerful and Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't dare to offend them.
Besides, Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to know why Li Er would invite her to this banquet for no apparent reason.
