Chapter 108 Bragging on WeChat
Yunzhou City. Liuyuan Residential District.
"Haha~"
"Darling, my daughter is simply the best, right?"
"I knew it! Our Mu-Cheng is truly an extraordinary person!"
"Now that she is put in charge of her own project, she can finally taste the fruits of herbor.”
"The power is in her hands now. She is being put in charge of such a huge project. Good days are
When the news reached Han Li, she was overjoyed. Not only had her daughter been put solely in
charge of the partnership with Hongqi Group, but that detestable Qiu Mu-Ying had also been removed
from the project.
Han Li was in such a good mood that she kept on insisting on having a celebratory feast that very
night.
Qiu Lei was of the same opinion. "Haha, you are right. Our Mu-Cheng has gotten a promotion and a
pay raise. We ought to celebrate. Tonight, the three of us will go to a restaurant. To think that, thanks to
my daughter, I am finally able to hold my head up with pride. From this day forward, nobody in the
family will dare look down on us!"
Qiu Lei felt a sense of satisfaction.
Now that Qiu Mu-Cheng was handling such an important project, one that could affect the survival of
the Qiu family, both Han Li and Qiu Lei felt that they could finally hold up their heads with pride.
After hearing what her husband had just said, Han Li was struck by a sudden idea. "Since we are going
to have a celebration, then we should make it a big one. Let''s invite all those rtives who used to look
down on us. Make sure to invite Luo and his family. We have to show them who''s the boss now.”
Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng was going through somepany documents while picking away at a fruit
tter with a toothpick. When she heard the conversation between her parents, she could not help but
reluctantly ask, "Mm? Mom, what are you up to now?"
"Mu-Cheng, there is no need for you to know. I won''t do anything to trouble you.” Han Li chuckled and
picked up her phone. And then she sent a ten-yuan red packet to the Qiu family''s WeChat group.
And right away, a group of users popped up. Most of them were middle-aged women who had nothing
better to do at this time of the day.
"Oh, ten yuan?"
"A ten-yuan red packet? This is a rare asion. Han Li, don''t you usually send one-yuan red packets?"
At this moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng''s second aunt, Jiang Hong, popped up to question Han Li. It was
obvious to any astute person that Jiang Hong''s question was meant to be sarcastic.
Han Liughed and said, "Haha, that''s the right thing to do. After all, my Mu-Cheng has just gotten a
promotion. As her mother, it is only right and proper for me to raise my standards."
"Tonight, I would like to invite all of you to the food court at Liuyuan South Road. We will be having
barbeque. Our treat."
"We are celebrating Mu-Cheng''s promotion. Everyone has toe."
After saying her piece, Han Li sent a series of smug emojis to the group.
Amotion broke out among the WeChat users after Han Li had made the announcement.
"Haha~"
"It is rare for Han Li to be so generous! We wil definitely be there."
"I knew it! Mu-Cheng is a child with a bright future." "Congrattions-" "In future, we will be depending
on Mu-Cheng to lead us to prosperity." Jiang Hong and the others went along with Han Li and kept on
offering their congrattions.
In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family had been treated like pariahs by the other Qius. And
everybody in the WeChat group had ignored Han Li and Qiu Lei whenever they spoke up. But now that
Qiu Mu-Cheng was in a position of authority, the snobbish rtives would naturally defer to her family
and be more proactive during conversations.
Moreover, they were going to pay for dinner. Only a fool would turn away a free meal.
"Thank you, everyone."
"Once Mu-Cheng starts making money, I will treat you all to something better."
Han Li was smiling happily as she typed away on her phone. This was the first time she was
experiencing the feeling of being a host. She felt flushed with sess.
But the moment Han Li had finished speaking, five red packets suddenly appeared in the group.
"Whoa~"
"It''s a hundred-yuan red packet!"
"There are five of them!"
"How generous~"
"Awesome!"
"Who is this Madam Chu?"
"I want to be her follower!"
The appearance of five red packets in a row had caused amotion among the WeChat users. And
the younger generation of Qius started moring to be Madam Chu''s followers.
Just then, the person who had using the "Madam Chu” moniker suddenly started speaking.
"Uncles and aunties, today is my one-month wedding anniversary with Wen-Fei."
"Tonight, we will be having a celebratory dinner at Yunjing Hotel. We will be having the Manchu-Han
Imperial Feast, Chateau Lafite and Maotai. There will be enough food and drinks for everyone.”
"Please remember toe."
After saying her piece, this "Madam Chu" @ all her rtives in the group. All her rtives, except for
Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family.
From the beginning to the end, Madam Chu did not send a single emoji to the group. Using only words,
she nonchntly bragged in front of her rtives.
The other users in the group were pleasantly surprised.
"So she is Ying-Ying. Why did she change her moniker?" "How bold and generous! It can only be the
beauty of our family, Ying-Ying!"
"Damn. Yunjing Hotel? Isn''t it a five-star hotel?"
"It is a top-notch hotel that is only ranked a level below Haiyuan Restaurant!"
"Free flow of Chateau Lafite and Maotai?"
"Our niece is so rich!"
"She is a wealthy woman!"
"Well, she did marry a good man-"
"Ying-Ying, let me be your follower-"
The WeChat group was in an uproar. Almost all the Qius were cheering and someone even sent in a
series of thumbs-up emojis.
"No worries, Ying-Ying. Your uncles will definitely show up."
"We will be there tonight."
"Ying-Ying is the hope of the younger generation."
"Look at Ying-Ying. She can give us a dinner at a five-star hotel, Maotai and Chateau Lafite."

"Unlike somebody who is pretending to be rich even though she is poor. She can only afford to send a
ten-yuan red packet and treat us to a barbeque dinner at some stall by the road side. She may not care
about theck of hygiene, but does she think we want to risk getting sick?”
"Her family has such low standards, so what can they do? They may have climbed to a high ce now,
but that just means it will hurt more when they fall downter on." Jiang Hong, who had earlier praised
Qiu Mu-Cheng as a girl with a bright future, was now making sarcastic insinuations against thetter''s
family.
And one after another, the other Qius went along with Jiang Hong. They started to mock Qiu Mu-Cheng
and her family. And they even consoled Qiu Mu-Ying by telling her that the reigns of control would
surely return to her because her cousin would definitely do a bad job. In the end, the Qius swore to
stand behind Qiu Mu-Ying.
While the Qius in the group were sucking up to Qiu Mu-Ying, Han Li was typing her message. She
wanted to know why everyone was suddenly turning against her after they had promised to attend her
daughter''s celebratory dinner.
But Han Li''sint, along with herself, were ignored by the Qius in the group.
They continued to spare no effort to tter Qiu Mu-Ying. And as they praised her virtues, the Qius also
took the opportunity to belittle Qiu Mu-Cheng.
"Damn!"
"Qiu Lei, look at your rtives! They are just a bunch of snobs! Fence-sitters~”
"They were supporting Mu-Cheng earlier, but now they are supporting Qiu Mu-Ying."
"So what if that bitch has a little money?"
"Why are they having a stupid wedding anniversary after just one month of marriage? That Qiu Mu-
Ying is doing this on purpose. She just wants to humiliate us."
"Oh, I am so vexed~"
As she looked at the messages in the WeChat group, Han Li was almost driven mad with anger.
Qiu Lei was also filled with rage. He thought that Qiu Mu-Ying and her family were doing this on
purpose to humiliate his family.
"Hmph, fine. If they don''t want toe, we will just eat by ourselves," Qiu Lei said angrily.
But Han Li shook her head. After thinking for a moment, she said: "No way. I have never had a
Manchu-Han Imperial Feast before. And I want to drink red wine that costs several dozen thousand
yuan per bottle."
Qiu Lei was taken aback for a moment. "What are you talking about?"
Han Li ignored him and sent a message to the group: "Ying-Ying, congrattions. Our family will be
sure to show up tonight."
"What? Han Li, aren''t you supposed to celebrate your daughter''s promotion tonight? Since you are so
busy, you had better note.” The Qius in the group were taken aback by Han Li''s shamelessness.
"No, it''s nothing. We can celebrate my daughter''s promotion another day." And then Han Li sent a
But, just then, Madam Chu spoke up again. "Auntie Han Li, I am so sorry. But you informed me toote.
I have already made the reservation. I am afraid we do not have any leftover seats for your family."
"Auntie Han Li, I think you had better go to that road side barbeque stall for your dinner. My husband
will foot your bill when you are done. Anyway, Mu-Cheng is already used to cheap hawker food, so she
will not be able to stomach expensive cuisine like the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast. I reckon such
delicacies are not suitable for your family."
After "Madam Chu" had said her piece, the Qius in the WeChat group started to send inughing-out-
loud emojis. One after another, they went along with Qiu Mu-Ying.
"Ying-Ying is right. Han Li, you should bring your daughter to the road side stall.”
"Yunjing Hotel is not suitable for your family."
In her vi, Qiu Mu-Ying was smiling smugly as she looked at the supportive messages from her
rtives.
Qiu Mu-Cheng, this is what you get for going against me! Now, I havepletely humiliated your
family!
