656 The Smell of Gunpowder Before the Family Banquet
“She reminded you that their family is rich.”
“Didn’t you have dinner with Ningyue before? Don’t you know what kind of person she is?”
“Ningyue is indeed not bad, but the stuff she’s saying today is so unpleasant.” Qu Bing said.
“Our Qu family has been doing business for so many years, but we’ve never dared to say that we’re rich in front of outsiders. She’s obviously trying to intimidate us.”
“Well …”
Qu Xuanhe did not know what to say. He also felt that Ningyue’s words were a little too much.
It was not that he looked down on them, but it was already pretty good even if children from orphanages did not study in famous schools.
In this society, it was probably harder for them to ascend to the heavens than to be ‘rich’.
After all, in a big city, having a few million yuan was really nothing. At most, it was just a small amount of money.
Just like what her cousin said, the Qu family did not even say that they were rich. It was even more inappropriate for Ningyue to say that.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. We’re already here and we are meeting for the first time. We’re going to get married.”
“No one is stopping you from getting married.” Qu Bing said.
“But today’s meal is a little like you meeting their parents. I’ll definitely help you fight this battle. I can’t let her brother criticize you and bully you.”
Qu Xuanhe glanced at his cousin. “You dressed like this today on purpose, right?”
“How is it? I’m dressed well, right?” Qu Bing said.
“I wanted to wear black at first, but your aunt said that it would be too high-profile, so I changed to a pair of flesh-colored clothes.”
“My dear sister, you have to keep a low profile and hold your glib tongue. Today is not about business. It’s about harmony.”
“Look at what you’re saying. You make me sound like a she-devil.” Qu Bing said.
“We’re talking about the matter and not the person. If you’re too high-profile, I won’t get any words in.”
“Who can be so high-profile when they see someone with an aura as powerful as Boss Qu?” Qu Xuanhe teased.
“Hmph, as long as you know this.”
“Alright, stop talking. Ningyue is here.”
After hanging up the phone, Guo Ningyue walked over. “My brother said he’ll be here soon. There’s a traffic jam on the way. My brother and his girlfriend have been living in Zhonghai for a long time. They haven’t been back to Yangcheng for a long time, so they’re not very familiar with the road conditions here. I gave them the wrong time to start driving.”
“It’s fine. It’s just a few more minutes. It’s not a big deal.”
Qu Bing stood at the side and did not speak. He must feel superior to the locals here because he lived in Zhonghai.
Still, Yangcheng, was not bad either.
She hoped that they would not be too arrogant later.
Otherwise, she would have to say something.
