Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 278 Determined to Win_1

"Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao!"

Furukawa Kenichi caught up with him and asked in confusion, "You’ve just arrived, why are you leaving already?"

"Mr. Furukawa, if you’re familiar with the people from the Consulate, then I suggest you tell them to fire the person who sent me the invitation immediately," Xiao Ming said indignantly.

"He didn’t mention at all that this was a low-grade banquet. It’s been a complete waste of my time.

Let me tell you, I am very angry!"

Furukawa Kenichi furrowed his brow: "Mr. Xiao, could there be some misunderstanding?

Everyone who has been invited to the banquet tonight is a luminary from various sectors in Lingnan, including several senior leaders. How could it possibly be low-grade?"

"Is that so?"

Xiao Ming wore a look of "I don’t believe you for a second," and once again pointed towards Dong Father and Son, "Then explain to me, if it’s not a low-grade banquet, why are there such low-grade people here?

Does the Consulate of your esteemed country view such trash as social elites?"

His voice was not quiet, and many nearby people could hear it, naturally including Ding Father and Son whom he was pointing at.

Feeling the odd stares from all around, Dong Jingyi and Dong Chenghua were almost bursting with anger, wishing they could rush forward and fight Xiao Ming.

Unfortunately, they didn’t dare, especially in front of the Japanese guests.

A dog is a dog, obedience is in its nature.

Furukawa Kenichi had never anticipated that Xiao Ming would confront Dong Father and Son so publicly. He whispered, "Mr. Xiao, for the sake of your reputation, I suggest we discuss this in a side room first."

"No need."

Xiao Ming responded like a boor with no manners at all, "I’ve already been treated as if I’m on the same level as that trash, what reputation is there to speak of?

Please relay a message for me to the person in charge of the Consulate: I, Xiao Ming, will remember the insult today.

Han Country is a nation of propriety, I will not mistreat my guests at home. Once my investment reaches Fusang, we will settle the account then.

With that, I bid you farewell!"

Inside the consulate of their own country, facing a direct threat to a consulate minister, Furukawa Kenichi, even if he was patient, couldn’t restrain the raging anger in his heart.

However, he had to endure it. Not only because there were so many onlookers, and whoever initiated the conflict would be in the wrong, but also because inviting Xiao Ming tonight was for a very important matter.

Without small patience, big plans will falter.

"Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment, Xiao..."

Furukawa Kenichi stopped chasing, because someone had already stood in front of Xiao Ming.

It was a woman, barely over one meter fifty tall, with a youthful face, yet her figure was curvaceous, the epitome of ’baby-faced with a bombshell body.’

Unfortunately, her height, determined by her Japanese genes, meant that if only she had a pair of long legs, she could have become a supermodel in minutes.

"Mr. Xiao, has there been some lack in our hospitality?"

The woman spoke in Chinese, with a slight accent, wearing a very formal kimono, looking more the Yamato Nadeshiko than Fujiwara Rika.

"Miss is?"

"Oh, how rude of me! My name is Furukawa Shizuka, my father serves as a Counselor at the Consulate.

As his secretary, I planned and am in charge of tonight’s charity banquet."

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow: "You’re a Furukawa, too, so you are... with Mr. Furukawa Kenichi...?"

"He is my older brother."

"I see!" Xiao Ming stroked his chin, "Since you’re in charge of the banquet, then you must have prepared the guest list, right?"

"The initial list was indeed prepared by me. Is there something inappropriate about it?"

"Very," Xiao Ming snorted coldly. "You invited low-grade riffraff like Dong Jingyi and Dong Chenghua to the banquet. Are you trying to humiliate the elites in attendance?"

"Low-grade?" Furukawa Shizuka tilted her head, "I was under the impression that Han Country doesn’t have a class system."

"Han Country might not have it, but it exists in moral integrity and character," Xiao Ming stated solemnly. "Whether a person is noble or not depends on the nobility of their soul.

And if one is full of thieves and prostitutes internally, then no matter how high their social status, they are still lowly trash."

A meaningful glint flashed in Furukawa Shizuka’s eyes: "What do you mean by that, Mr. Xiao?"

"If Dong Father and Son are here, I’ll leave. It’s that simple."

"Alright then."

Without hesitation, Furukawa Shizuka nodded, stepped aside, and gave a slight bow to Dong Father and Son not far away, "Mr. Dong, I’m really sorry for the poor hospitality, please forgive us.

When I have time in the future, I will personally come to apologize to you both.

For now, please leave!"

She could have walked closer and said these words in a lower voice to Dong Father and Son, but for some reason, she chose to raise her voice while standing in place, so everyone around naturally heard everything loud and clear.

Dong Jingyi and Dong Chenghua’s faces both turned the color of liver, and like father, like son, their expressions and the twitching frequency of their temples were exactly the same.

"Good! Very good!"

Dong Jingyi put his wine glass on the tray of a passing waiter and strode over to Xiao Ming.

"Xiao Ming, today’s humiliation, my Dong family will remember!"

The elder said and left; Dong Chenghua followed behind and added: "You just wait!"

"Goodbye! I will be waiting, don’t you forget it!"

Xiao Ming waved at their retreating figures with a smile, as warmly as if he were bidding farewell to old friends.

After he had finished, Furukawa Shizuka bowed again, "I apologize once more for our work mistake!

Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Ding, I wish you both a pleasant evening!

Excuse me."

Having said that, the woman walked away with quick little steps, leaving Xiao Ming scratching his head in bemusement.

"What, you got a crush on her?" Ding Jianwei asked.

"Don’t talk like I’m some sort of lady-killer,"

Xiao Ming replied with a mix of amusement and frustration, "I’m just wondering why Fusang would send such a beautiful girl to interact with me, only to not take the opportunity to develop a relationship and just walk away; it seems like such a waste, doesn’t it? Could she be playing hard to get?"

"Perhaps you’re being too conceited, she might not think there’s anything worthy of attention about you."

"Please! The place you almost injured was your kidney, not your brain. Why is your IQ fluctuating? I stood up to the Dong Father and Son just now, not for fun!"

"That only proves they think you are more important than Dong Father and Son, not that you’re worth paying attention to."

"No. What I’ve proven is that they’d rather risk their own dogs revolting than let me leave this place."

Ding Jianwei arched her brows slightly, "Are you saying that tonight, they are planning to do something to you that extends beyond just trying to win you over?"

Xiao Ming nodded, "I don’t lack money, I’m not short of beautiful women, and my reputation is at its peak. I guess Fusang can’t possibly think of anything that could tempt me.

So, whatever they want to do to me tonight is surely not something good.

And by using Dong Father and Son as an experiment, it proved that they are determined to have me!"

After pondering for a moment, Ding Jianwei was about to speak when suddenly she paused and reached into her cleavage.

Xiao Ming was somewhat taken aback, "What are you doing? Don’t tell me you actually hid a bomb in there?"

Ding Jianwei gave him a look and pulled out a small, vibrating phone. Seeing the caller ID, her expression turned serious, and she even instinctively stood at attention to take the call.

A moment later, she looked at Xiao Ming and replied softly, "Yes! I’ll ensure the mission is completed!"

After ending the call, she sighed and said, "I’m sorry! An emergency assignment has come up, and I can’t stay by your side."
