Chapter 8 Meet First Love's Sister

Edward Chen had received three items from Lei family. A statement of canceling Bo Lei’s engagement with Menghan Shen. A cheque for 8,000,000 to compensate for the watch. And a gilded invitation letter. "Dear Mr. Chen, we cordially invite you to attend our Charity Donation Ceremony and Dinner in three days at the top floor restaurant of Xinhui Hotel." It was signed by Heng Lei, the leader of Lei family. Edward had set three requirements for Lei family before he left the engagement dinner. Firstly, cancel the engagement. Secondly, compensate for the cash gift. Thirdly, donate 30,000,000 yuan for the charity of guarding the country’s borders. Unexpectedly, Lei family accepted all requirements so easily. They even held a donation ceremony and invited him. Edward thought for a second. The giant in Ancheng City shouldn’t be a pushover. How else could they associate with the giants if they were so obedient? This charity dinner of Lei family definitely had other purposes. The banquet must be set up as a trap for him! But no matter what troubles Edward would get into, it was nothing for him. He was fearless. Because he was strong enough! "Wu Qi, you follow me to this charity dinner in three days." "Yes, sir." "Find the best designer to rebuild Shen’s original residence into a large mansion according to the layout of ancient royal residences, and buy the surrounding land." "No problem, sir." ... Three days later. At Xinhui Hotel. It was the highest-grade five-star hotel with forty stories in Ancheng City, and the circular viewing banquet hall on the top floor was the first choice of the giants to hold banquets. In front of the hotel building, the traffic was heavy. Countless exquisite women in evening gowns and successful men in suits strolled into the hotel from the parking lot, obviously all for the banquet. Among these people, Edward in a black windbreaker and Wu Qi in a tight leather jacket particularly drew a lot of attention from passersby. "Holding such a big banquet, maybe most of the celebrities of Ancheng City have come over." Edward sensed something unusual. The gentlefolk and white-collar elite of Ancheng City gathered here. If Lei family made any troubles in the banquet, it would be a piece of breaking news in the city. Edward led Wu into the hotel lobby and they suddenly heard a sharp scream from a woman in the crowd. "Bitch, stay away from Mr. He. If you reappear before us, I will scratch your face!" A woman in a purple low-cut evening gown with heavy makeup pointed at another woman next to her and cursed. Many people were attracted by the voice. The woman she abused was in a rosy-red dress with long hair, a slender figure, that made hit in the banquet. With black pearl earrings on her ears and stubbornness in her eyes, her side face had amazed people in the lobby. Edward got closer to her and paused suddenly. Even though he could always keep his countenance, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Stepping forward, he grabbed the wrist of the woman. "Vivian Yun! You're still alive?" This woman with the pearl earrings looked exactly like his dead first love, Vivian! Wasn’t she dead? A turbulent emotion possessed Edward. Hearing Edward’s words, the woman was also shocked with incredible expression. "Who are you? How do you know my sister?" "Sister?" Upon hearing this, Edward gently loosened her wrist and sighed slightly: "She is dead. No wonder you look so much alike." She stared at Edward with beautiful eyes in confusion. "My name is Wendy Yun. You should tell me your name first." "Edward. You should have heard about me." Huh? Wendy covered her mouth and stared at Edward with hostility, taking several steps back. " You're Coco’s father! You killed my sister!" Edward understood now. The woman was his sister-in-law, and his child was named Coco. Wendy and even the whole Yun Family thought of Edward as the killer who poisoned their daughter! "Coco? Is it my child? A daughter? She's... in Ancheng City?" With anger and grievance in her eyes, Wendy pointed at Edward's nose. "How dare you come back? My Family suffered from my sister's death severely! Now it's finally passed. I'll never let Coco get hurt again, and you'll never see her!" Edward felt strong hostility from Wendy and shook his head. When they were confronting each other, the woman in the low-cut purple dress cut in, measuring Edward with her eyes, and gave him a charming smile. "Handsome guy, it seems you also have a grudge against this bitch. Fine, I just need a guy tonight. Will you be my date?" Then, she bent her back deliberately and showed herself to Edward. "I have something to say to Wendy Yun tonight. I can't be your partner." Mei'er Zhou's smile froze on her face. "Ungrateful wretch! It is your great honor to be my partner! How dare you refuse me?" Edward said indifferently: "So what?" On hearing this, Mei'er got angry instantly. The crowd of onlookers also talked in whispers. "Isn't she the daughter of Zhou family?" "It's known as the four major families among Lin family, Wei family, Zhou family and He family in An Cheng City." "All right. This man actually dared to refuse her. The fun is just beginning." "Ordinary people can’t afford to offend Zhou family. he's in big trouble." "I heard that she was irritated by someone last time, and she had him crippled finally!" Mei'er was even more annoyed as she listened to the comment around her. "Hey. Come to me and be my date. Otherwise, you’ll be dead meat!" Edward ignored her and turned to Wendy. "I will explain everything to you tonight. Be my companion and attend the banquet first." Wendy was just about to refuse but was suddenly shocked by Edward's expression. Edward stared at her intently and pressured her not to refuse him. Wendy was feared, suddenly realizing that even she was unable to move. Edward’s stare made her feel oppressive and nervous. Being stared at by such a direct gaze, Wendy eventually said nothing to resist, folding her arms, and pouted her cute small mouth to express dissatisfaction. Mei'er was gradually becoming annoyed. "How dare you ignore me and flirt with that bitch! I'll scratch her face first, then have you crippled! You have to pay the price!" At that moment, Mei'er stretched out her palm with sharp manicured nails fiercely and was about to poke Wendy's face. Wendy was stunned for a while, and Edward frowned. A palm suddenly slapped from the side. Smack! A slap directly came on Mei'er's face. The whole crowd was frozen. It was quiet for a moment and then burst into murmurs. "Mei'er has actually been slapped!" "She is the daughter of big shot family in Ancheng City, a woman who is guarded in any case!" "That slap seems so heavy!" "Her face is swollen." "That woman bodyguard is so wild!" "Zhou family will revenge on them. They’ll come to no good end!" Wu stepped on black leather boots and raised her head to block Wendy. "Even dares to hit my boss's companion, a slap is just a small lesson for you!" Mei'er was lost in thought for a moment, covering her swollen face, and mumbled incredulously to herself. "How do you dare to hit me?" Wu smiled as if she was innocent, and took out a one-inch dagger from her pocket, playing with it on her hands. "My boss is honorable and disdained to hit you. If you touch Wendy again, believe it or not, I'll make you pay the price first." ...
