Chapter 708: Chapter 656 My Territory
“Mr. Liu! Welco! Welco!” As the father of the groom, Qu Liheng naturally approached Liu Hun. There’s a saying that you don’t hit a smiling face—if soone cos to you, you greet them with a smile, even if Liu Hun made quite a notable entrance, but as a guest arrived, and in front of so many mbers of the dia, he had no choice but to welco him with a smile.
“Chairman Qu is too kind! This one…” Liu Hun was in the middle of speaking and shaking hands with Qu Liheng when he was interrupted by Qu Jiarong.
“Liu Hun! What are you doing here?!” Qu Jiarong looked at Liu Hun’s smiling face, growing more and more unhappy the longer he looked, especially since his spotlight was stolen. This was his wedding—Hong Kong’s century wedding watched by all. He was supposed to be the protagonist, not this sudden troublemaker stealing the show.
“Cough cough! Jiarong! As they say, ‘a guest is a guest’!” Qu Liheng forced a smile and spoke, though he didn’t care for Liu Hun either. However, with so many people and the dia present, he had to save face.
“What guest or not a guest! Did anyone invite him? Uninvited, mooching for food and drink… it reminds of a certain animal.” Lin Feng stepped forward and spoke sarcastically.
When Lin Feng’s father saw his second son spouting nonsense, he hurried forward to pull Lin Feng aside, then whispered sternly, “What nonsense are you spouting here! Your uncle is speaking! Is it your turn to interject? Go stand to the side!”
Upon seeing his father take charge, Lin Feng begrudgingly moved aside. But Qu Jiarong, seeing the two elders struggling to maintain appearances, felt even more uncomfortable. He adamantly did not want Liu Hun, this disgusting creature, to remain at his wedding. Ignoring his father’s presence, he said loudly to Liu Hun, “I didn’t invite you! So you’re not welco here! Please leave imdiately!”
Qu Liheng was almost spitting blood with anger. Having navigated the business world for decades with mute prosperity and honeyed words, these thods were second nature to him, always reliable without fail. Maintaining an amiable facade while still fiercely competing in secret—that was his life principle. He never intended to publicly tear his face, yet his son was acting so rashly.
Qu Jiarong’s shouting drew all the dia’s caras to the scene. Initially, Qu Liheng thought to let Liu Hun take a seat and continue the wedding, but now that Qu Jiarong had snapped, there was no turning back. He couldn’t very well apologize to Liu Hun, nor could he simply start an argunt in front of everyone and order him to scram. Scolding his son was also out of the question. Qu Liheng found himself trapped in a dilemma with no good way out.
“Mr. Liu! Since you did not receive an invitation and just showed up so brazenly, that seems highly inappropriate. It’s said that ‘a guest is a guest,’ but there should be so rules regardless. Since you weren’t invited, it ans you are not welco. Since you are unwelco, I really don’t understand why you insist on staying. If I were you, I wouldn’t stay here to embarrass myself. Sorry, I grew up in Britain and am not accustod to your pretentious platitudes—I prefer plain speaking.” Tony stood up and unleashed a cold stream of sarcasm toward Liu Hun. Just earlier, having his wife praising Liu Hun to his face had displeased him greatly. Naturally, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity to retaliate.
Tony had spoken up, and Lin Feng’s father, who had been trying to diate the situation, was left feeling awkward. He ended up following Qu Liheng’s example and simply stopped speaking, too. Of course, he disapproved of how the younger generation handled things, but having reached this point, he could only turn a blind eye.
“Although I don’t know you, nor do I wish to, you’re certainly not worth my acquaintance. But I do agree with your statent,” Liu Hun replied to Tony, the smile still present on his face.
Tony was irritated by Liu Hun’s mockery, his jealousy and resentnt deepening. He swore to find an opportunity to thoroughly humiliate this man.
Liu Hun glanced around then said to everyone, “This is Liheng Real Estate, isn’t it?”
Qu Jiarong replied with a cold smile, “I know you’ve never seen a project this grand and magnificent. Don’t look around aimlessly, lest you blind your ‘dog eyes.’ I take no responsibility if that happens.”
“Oh, is that so?” Liu Hun asked rhetorically, then continued looking around before comnting, “Tsk tsk… The architecture is indeed impressive, but… what a pity!”
“What’s so pitiful? Stop spouting nonsense here! This is Liheng Real Estate! An uninvited guest like you is not welco! Leave imdiately!” Lin Feng jumped out again, seeing that his father and Qu Liheng had fallen silent. He guessed that their silence equated to acquiescence. As long as they silently agreed, he was all too eager to jump in—how could he not seize the mont at such a significant ti?
“This world doesn’t only reward those who are loud and can jump high. Clearly, both of your fathers are outstanding entrepreneurs, but you two are nothing but stuffed straws… oh wait, now there’s one more!” Liu Hun feigned pity as he shook his head. Before Qu Jiarong, Lin Feng, or Tony could react, he said, “It’s just a pity… if it gets demolished… that would be truly regrettable.”
“What rubbish are you spouting! I’ve told you, you’re not welco here! This is Liheng Real Estate! If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security! Imagine how embarrassing it would be to be escorted out!” Tony said to Liu Hun harshly, unable to tolerate the brash man ridiculing him as a stuffed straw.
Liu Hun stared at Tony and then said, “Let tell you, one day, you will pay the price for the words you’ve said today. Moreover! This place is not Liheng Group’s! It’s mine—Liu Hun’s!”
As soon as Liu Hun said this, Qu Liheng imdiately didn’t dare to go further, although he was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the younger generation in recent years, but there were so lines that should not be crossed, so he imdiately stepped forward to question Liu Hun, “Mr. Liu! Both you and I are people of stature, you should know what can be said and what cannot be said!”
Liu Hun nodded to Qu Liheng and said, “Liu indeed knows! I also respect you as a predecessor in the business world, so I can lend you this place to hold the wedding, but after the wedding is over, the illegal buildings here must naturally be demolished because I have said that this place is not Liheng Group’s property but mine—Liu Hun’s!”
“Liu Hun! Aren’t you being too arrogant? If I don’t show you so color today, you won’t know how much weight you carry!” Qu Jiarong was already at the peak of his rage, and he rolled up his sleeves and threw a punch at Liu Huyi.
“Ouch!” Before the punch even got close to Liu Hun, Qu Jiarong was already controlled with a counter-hand move. Seeing that the two seed ready to co to blows, the crowd imdiately panicked, and the surrounding dia went crazy taking photos, with cara flashes going nonstop.
“Look at your own behavior, and weigh your own significance, what do you think you are?” Liu Huyi pushed away Qu Jiarong, and as for Qu Jiarong, he really couldn’t be bothered to get hands on, lest he give fodder to gossip.
“Mr. Liu! When you speak, you need to produce solid evidence! Otherwise, we can sue you for libel and causing trouble!” Lin Feng saw that the scene was getting out of control, so he imdiately stood out and said, hoping to make Liu Hun leave, so not to ruin his daughter’s wedding.
“It’s still the older generation that understands reason!” Liu Hun said. Then, in front of everyone and the dia, he slowly took out a piece of paper from his chest and displayed it, saying, “This is the land deed for Shuitian Yise, and on it in black and white is written sothing that everyone should be able to understand!”
After Liu Hun took out the land deed, everyone was imdiately shocked, and then began to discuss fervently.
“How can this be possible? Shuitian Yise is the biggest real estate developnt project of Liheng Real Estate! How could the land deed be in Liu Hun’s hands?”
“Is there so unspeakable secret inside this? The more I see, the less I understand!”
“Could it be that Qu Family illegally encroached on soone else’s land and then brazenly built their own house?!”
“Could it be that this Liu Hun forged the deed! Qu Family wouldn’t do such illegal things, would they? If it’s true, that’s a huge piece of news.”
“…”
Various speculations and discussions ca one after another, and the reporters from various dia outlets were making phone calls, telling their editors to clear the front-page headlines, preparing to break this news as soon as possible.
Upon seeing Liu Hun take out this item, Qu Liheng’s head buzzed on the spot, and he nearly didn’t stand firm, thankfully Chen Bizhu supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground. Then he turned and stared at Qu Jiarong, demanding, “Tell , what is going on here? You were the one I put in charge of this matter. Didn’t you say it was already taken care of?”
Qu Jiarong felt as if he had swallowed a fly, unable to spit out a single word for a long ti. Indeed, Qu Liheng had given him a large sum of money to resettle those people during the large-scale demolition of the nursing ho and welfare institute, but Qu Jiarong, losing his mind, took the money to finance the female star Hu Qinglan instead, then used the left-over money to bribe a departing British official to suppress this matter. Recently when Tony brought it up, he felt trouble was brewing, so he went to Wan Chai to handle it, but he didn’t expect that the matter would co undone, the club was checked by the police, and today the issue ultimately ca to his doorstep, found by none other than Liu Hun, who he detested the most.
Lin Feng stepped forward to look carefully, and his complexion changed imdiately, but he still couldn’t quite believe that his in-laws and son-in-law would do such illegal things, so he questioned Liu Hun, “Mr. Liu, where did this docunt co from?”
Liu Hun just smiled, about to reply, when another commotion ca from the wedding scene. Everyone turned to look, seeing a car from the Hong Kong Supre Court stop at the entrance to the wedding venue, then two uniford judges got out and walked toward Liu Hun and the others.
The leading judge, a man in his fifties, addressed the crowd, “May I ask who is the legal representative of this Shuitian Yise project?”
“I am!” Qu Jiarong stood out and said.
“Hello! I am Judge Li Guangtian from the Hong Kong Supre Court. This is your subpoena. Soone has sued you for illegally occupying private land and building illegally. I hope you will appear in court on ti.” Judge Li Guangtian said as he handed a subpoena to Qu Jiarong.
