Zhou Feng glanced at Xu Lai and finally chose to recount what had happened.
When the full story was revealed, Liu Nanwei's expression soured. "Liu Qing," she said in a frigid tone, "you are a member of the Liu Family. Do you want to see us destroyed?"
Liu Qing stammered, "Nan Wei, I..."
"Get lost!"
After uttering that one word, Liu Nanwei turned and began bowing repeatedly to Xu Lai. "Director Xu, Liu Qing is a distant cousin of mine. Though we're not closely related by blood, I sincerely apologize on his behalf..."
Her apology was utterly sincere. If not for the large crowd and her family's reputation, the frantic, teary-eyed Liu Nanwei might have kneeled right then and there. To her, Xu Lai was an undeniable, great benefactor.
"There's no need for that between us," Xu Lai said, exasperated. "Please, take your seat. Don't disrupt your brother's wedding."
