Chapter 20 How big of you!

Everyone was shocked. The people who just talked was Victor Chu? This piece of crap! What the heck was he doing? Everyone showed the same surprised looks on their faces. Daisy Chen was even more merciless, “Get out of here! It’s none of your business!” Victor could care less about Daisy; he just held Dinah Chen’s tiny hand and stepped forward. “Are you deaf or what; you piece of crap! I said get out! Didn’t you ...” Daisy suddenly stopped cursing, as if she had been grabbed by someone on the neck, even her eyes became glassy. As she could see, Director Wang the Duty Manager, went up to Victor and bowed to him! “Mr Chu, welcome!” “Director Wang, is the Star Observation Platform ready?” Victor smiled lightly. “Yes, Sir; please be seated with Miss Chen.” Director Wang bowed again. Victor nodded lightly and was about to go inside with Dinah. “Victor!” The scream was from Daisy, who rushed over like a crazy woman. Director Wang frowned and stood in front of her. “Miss Chen, calm down, please.” “Screw you! Don’t tell me to calm down!” Daisy cursed angrily, “It was we who reserved the Cloud Palace; why are you letting these two morons in?” “Miss Chen, who said it was you?” Director Wang said with no emotion. “Carl Guo!” Daisy screamed. Carl shivered from his head to toe and came up with a dead pale face. “Carl, are you dumb?” Daisy got so angry and cursed, “Tell him, that you were the one who reserved the Cloud Palace!” “Daisy, actually...” “Actually what? Tell me!” “Actually, the person who reserved the Cloud Palace was not me!” Carl said unwillingly. “The surprise that I prepared for you, was only the six-carat diamond ring.” Boom! Daisy was shocked and felt there’s a blank in her brain. After a while, she started to yell, “Carl, stop joking! This isn’t funny at all!” “Daisy, I am not joking. It took me Sixty thousand dollars to buy the single diamond ring; where do you think I get the money for the Cloud Palace?” Carl was about to cry. “Ah!” Daisy screamed like a crazy woman. It turned out that she was the only one who cared, from the beginning to the end. There was neither such thing as Cloud Palace, nor the whole-city observation at all! There was pure mock only that was left. She felt so embarrassed because she lost her face. Jane Wu and Mei Liu felt so ashamed and wanted to dig a hole on the ground so that they could bury their heads in. They had prepared for so long for this this cloud Palace trip; and even bought a few expensive clothes; but it turned out to be a joke. The rich man who reserved the Cloud Palace wasn’t Carl at all! It was the crap who they had long been looking down upon, Victor Chu! “Mr Chu, everything is ready; please go upstairs.” Director Wang smiled. “OK.” Victor nodded and held the tiny hand of Dinah who was drawing a blank as well. “Brother Victor, did you really reserve the whole Cloud Palace?” Dinah was till confused; if it had been three days ago, she would never have connected the mysterious rich man with Victor. However, what she had just seen in front of her had proved it all. “Yes, you silly doll. Didn’t I promise you that I would be the one to arrange this coming-of-age ceremony? You have never had a nice birthday party anyway; let me make up for it!” “Let’s go! The firework show is ready at the roof platform, followed by the concert of your favorite singer Xinglun Chou!” Victor held Dinah’s hand and walked to the lift with guards surrounding them. Dinah was drawing a blank and just followed Victor until she heard a sharp scream. “Dinah Chen! Victor! Stop!” Everyone watch over to the direction where the sound came from; a woman rushed over crazily, looking horrible; but luckily, the guards stopped her before she reached them. “Stop! This lady, please don’t disturb our distinguished guests.” “Distinguished guests? Distinguished my ass! This man is my fiance and this woman is my sister! They are distinguished guests; does that make me more distinguished? Then tell me why I can’t pass!” Daisy pointed at the guards and cursed. “Eh... Mr Chu, how...” The guards didn’t know what to do either; what kind of moral show was that? Victor glanced at Daisy and there was nothing but hatred and disappointment which had been gradually accumulated over the three years. He once thought to regard Daisy as his lifelong partner, but all she had taught him was a lesson about what a cold world it was and what an indifferent heart she had. He had never thought a woman could be so terrible like this. She was neither a good fiance, nor was she a good sister to Dinah. He had seen it all during the three years. All he wished at the moment was the engagement be canceled and cut off all his connections with her. However, when he thought of Dinah’s situation, he decided to compromise a little. “Alright, let her come; as long as she doesn’t make a mess of the banquet.” Victor said. So the guards let her pass. Daisy went up to Victor and Dinah quickly and pointed at Victor, “You’d better give me a reasonable explanation, or I won’t let you get away with it!” She had no idea at all why Victor would become the mysterious rich man at last. Everyone’s eyes fell on Victor; the relations were too messy for people to understand. “Explanation?” Victor smiled, “What explanation?” “Our engagement’s canceled already; I don’t owe you any explanation.” “As for this banquet today, it’s my appreciation for Dinah’s consideration over the three years; she let me know there’s warmth existing in this cold world; and it has nothing to do with you.” Victor said indifferently. Then he turned around and got into the lift with Dinah; Daisy chased closely after them; Carl and Daisy’s two girl friends came up too. Everyone chased one after another and it was like a massive TV-shooting scene. Daisy, Carl, Jane and Mei followed Victor and Dinah. It was in the Star Observation Platform and its beauty is beyond description; only those who have been up here can understand its beauty. Located in the best area of the Yunhai City, it faces the Yun Ocean in the south and Qing River in the north; the whole city is exposed from here. When Victor and Dinah came up, the Duty Manager snapped his fingers. In an instant, fireworks rose from around the platform, altogether one thousand, three hundred and fourteen buckets of them. The lights of the fireworks lightened up the whole area that was a few hundred meters away, blooming over everyone head like stars, one after another. Daisy just arrived and got immediately shocked by the beautiful scene and stood there without moving. “Please be seated, Miss Chen; the Cloud Banquet begins!” As soon as he finished, various dishes, drinks and flowers were served by several waitresses in nice figure. Victor was sitting opposite to Dinah, whose face was so delicate and confused under the dim lights. The next moment, Dinah started to weep. She lowered her head and played with her chopsticks, and her tears dropped one by one into the white china plate. She wiped her tears as soon as realized she was crying and she immediately blushed. She knew this banquet was arranged by brother Victor, she just couldn’t believe it. It’s in the Cloud Palace! It’s hard to imagine how much money and energy it would take to eat or have a party here. “La Romanee-Cont... Oh mine! It’s worth more than five thousand US Dollars!” Standing far away, the knowledgeable Jane looked at the wine in surprise. Daisy held her fist tight and turned to look at Carl, who looked extremely embarrassed as well. If it hadn’t been the guards standing in front of her, she would have already rushed up to confront Victor and ask where he got the money for the banquet? Could it be the bribed money of Dinah from the project? Yes! It must have been like this! She is such a prodigal; she used the bribed money from the project to throw a party like this, together with Victor? How could she turn her back on the family? “Dinah, how big of you!” “You are the person in charge of the family project, yet you are here spending money at your will? Good for you, but you are so screwed! I am saying, you are totally, totally screwed! There shall be no more position for you in the Chen Family!” Daisy said in a loud voice on purpose so that everyone could hear her clearly.
