Chapter 311

As time passed, the guests grew increasingly impatient.
"I think you should go and ask. If the Qian family's affairs keep them from coming, we don't need to wait here," said the speaker, his face full of impatience. He had never seen such a badly managed birthday banquet. Despite there being no sign of the hosts, leaving them, the guests, waiting here without any hospitality was truly inexcusable. "Do they think they are the only ones with busy schedules? Are we, the guests, idle and with nothing to do?"
A few branches of the Qian family listened with great embarrassment, unable to help but complain about the old man Qian's family. They never thought of them when good things happened, but it was always them who had to deal with such shameful matters.
“I'm sorry, please wait for a moment. I’ll go ask right now.”
Some of the relatives of the Qian family saw Qian Laoye and went to the rest area, so they went to the rest area with a hopeful attitude.
****************
In the lounge, after Lei Xun appeared, Mr. Qian was helped to the sofa. When Mr. Qian saw Lei Xun, his hanging heart was somewhat relieved.
Lei Laoye and Lei Zeyu were surprised to see Lei Xun appear here. But when Mi Zhiyao saw Lei Xun, she was only surprised at first. Her surprise was whether Lei Xun was afraid that they would find out about his affair with Mr. Qian in secret.
Yes, there are quite a few connections between Mr. Qian and Lei Xun behind the scenes. In fact, even Mr. Qian tried to promote the marriage between Qian Xueer and Lei Zeyu, which was an idea proposed by Lei Xun.
It was also discovered by Mi Zhiyao when she investigated the Qian family and Qian Lao Ye. Otherwise, no one would have connected these two people together.
"Lei Xun, why do you still have the mood to stay here?" Mi Zhiyao found Lei Xun very annoying.
"I'm in a good mood. I heard that Leize Yu is going to get engaged to Qian Xuer. I came here to offer my congratulations." Lei Xun said deliberately.
He knew that Mi Zhiyao and Leize Yu were close, and there must be some romantic feelings between them. So, he said it on purpose for Qian Xuer to hear.
"That might disappoint you. Zeyu has no relationship with Qian Xuer. But your cooperation with the Qian family is likely to fall through. Tut tut, I don't know if it will affect your financing company if the Qian family goes bankrupt. You, Lei Xun, could end up penniless." It was what Mi Zhiyao found out. Lei Xun had invested a considerable amount of money in the Qian family.
Due to the words of Mi Zhiyao, Thunder Cruiser felt a little uneasy, as he didn't know how Mi Zhiyao knew about his investment in the Qian family. However, from what Mi Zhiyao said, it seemed that the Qian family was in trouble. But before coming here, he hadn't heard any news about the Qian family having problems.
However, from the expression on Mi Zhiyao's face, it didn't seem like she was just trying to scare him with her words.
Lei Xun wanted to clarify with Mi Zhiyao, but his words were interrupted by the knocking at the door.
“不好意思，打扰一下，我这边有急事。”敲门进来的是来找钱老爷子的钱家旁支。“钱叔，外面的宾客都已经到了，大家都等了好长时间了，这寿宴开始的时间已经过了，大家都在问，问寿宴什么时候开始。”
Old Mr. Qian suddenly remembered the birthday banquet outside and clutched onto Qian Xueer's hand, using her support to stand up. "Look at me, really getting old and forgetful. Let's go now. We'll talk about anything else after the banquet."
As he spoke, Mr. Qian didn't even spare a glance at Mi Zhiyao and the others. "Xue'er, you all come with me. We have to apologize to the guests for keeping them waiting."
Mr. Qian was already regretting hosting this birthday banquet.
Regarding the intentional neglect of Mr. Qian, neither Mi Zhiyao nor others were angry. However, when Mr. Qian was about to leave, Mr. Lei wanted to stop him. How could he leave when things on their side were not settled yet?
However, her plan was thwarted by Mi Zhiyao. She was hoping that Master Qian's birthday banquet would continue, otherwise she wouldn't be able to present the grand gift she had prepared for him.
The Qian family left and Lei Xun also left with them. He was not in the mood to argue with Lei Zeyu and others. He felt uneasy in his heart and felt that there was something more to Mi Zhiyao's words. He needed to get someone to investigate.
After the Qian family and Lei Xun left, Lei's grandfather frowned and asked, "Why did you stop me from letting the Qian family go? I haven't settled the score with them yet for drugging you."
"Grandpa, there's no need to rush to settle scores with Mr. Qian. Do you trust me?" said Mi Zhiyao.
"Of course I trust you."
"If you trust me, then just wait and see what kind of retribution Mr. Qian and his cohorts will receive soon."
"Okay, then grandpa will wait and see."
*****************
Qian Grandpa has just suffered a blow and his body has not fully recovered. He can't walk fast even if he wants to. Qian Xueer is supporting him. Qian Grandpa is curious about what Qian Xueer did to make Mi Zhiyao suddenly target their Qian family.
However, it's crowded here and Mr. Qian knows it's inconvenient.
"Oh, Qian lao, you finally showed up. Your birthday celebration today is really grand," impatient people mocked when they saw Mr. Qian.
"Hehe, I apologize for keeping you waiting. Something came up and I was delayed. I am truly sorry." Mr. Qian forced a smile, but it looked rather unpleasant no matter how you looked at it.
Someone suddenly said, "Since you have something else to do, don't send us all invitations. It's really eye-opening to send invitations but handle your own things."
Old Man Qian was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
However, there were some people who had a better relationship with Old Man Qian and tried to smooth things over: "Oh, who doesn't have urgent matters? We understand, we really do. Since today's birthday boy is here, let's get started. Where's the cake?"
Those who come must have a good relationship with the Money family, otherwise, they wouldn't have received an invitation from Mr. Money.
"The cake is right there on top. Your eyes are quite big, but your vision isn't that good," the person said jokingly, trying to lighten the mood.
"Haha, it's because I'm getting old and my eyesight is failing. That's right. Come on, let's invite our birthday star to the stage to say a few words. Everyone, please welcome him." These two guys singing and drinking together are obviously very close to Mr. Qian, and they are trying to lighten up the mood.
