Chapter 181 - Second Family Outing (1)
Foolish, White, and Sweet Yan Shuyu had no idea exactly how insidious Boss Zhou’s move was . Qin Luoyi, who was at the family banquet, on the other hand, was faceslapped so much by Boss Zhou that her face was almost swollen . Even her heavy makeup could not conceal the redness on her face, not to mention that burning sensation . And, she would still have to withstand the questioning from the old master .
Just a few minutes ago, the butler came in from the outside and announced that Boss Zhou had sent over a gift . It was neither the New Year nor another holiday, nor did he say who it was for . The living room that was once lively quieted down . Everybody was curious about this sudden gift from Boss Zhou . Qin Luoyi even mentioned, in reservation, to her relative about the matchmaking of Boss Zhou and her daughter . She figured the check must have worked and that gold-digging little tramp took the money and left Boss Zhou, so Boss Zhou has, once again, remembered how wonderful her Yuxuan was . This delicately wrapped gift that he had sent over must be a kind gesture for her daughter .
Qin Luoyi couldn’t even hide her happiness on her face at the thought of someone like Boss Zhou becoming her wonderful son-in-law . Nevertheless, this “gift” was intercepted by the old master . When the old master took the content out in front of everyone, Qin Luoyi felt like she was struck by lightning . Her body froze on the spot .

The only thing inside the box was a check . There was no card or message, but Qin Luoyi immediately thought about the check that she gave to Yan Shuyu . She felt sure that that little tramp, after accepting her check, had turned around and betrayed her . Evidently that worked really well on Boss Zhou, so he wrote another check and had it delivered to their house in such an ostentatious way . Rather than saying that the deal was off, this was his way of faceslapping her the same way that she did to Yan Shuyu .
Qin Luoyi was very angry . She had always been proud of her identity as the Young Miss Qin . As much as her husband’s family wasn’t prestigious, she still held an important role at the Qin’s Corporation . She was still that highly regarded precious daughter of the Qin’s . Yet Boss Zhou dares to treat her this way . This wasn’t a warning; this was an insult .
Qin Luoyi had never been so humiliated in her entire life, but she had underestimated Boss Zhou after all . He didn’t even bother with throwing money around like anyone else in a prestigious family; he merely returned the exact same check that she had written out .

There was no card or message, but there was a personal stamp on the check . Old Master Qin took a close look at it, and the smile on his face slowly froze . Looking at Qin Luoyi angrily, he said, “Qin Luoyi, can you please explain this to me?”
All of a sudden everybody turned and looked at Qin Luoyi – that included her siblings and those from the younger generations like her nieces and nephews . Some of them were curious, others were concerned, and some couldn’t wait for the drama to unfold .
Qin Luoyi was thoroughly humiliated at this family banquet . Never mind that everybody was there to watch the drama unfold, the old master even said that her mindset wasn’t clear enough to hold such an important role at the company . As such, the prideful Ms . Qin was demoted by her own father who had always trusted and relied on her . Even though she could still keep her shares, this was no ordinary loss for the ambitious Qin Luoyi .

The lesson that she had learned was too painful and too memorable . Qin Luoyi had completely given up her original plans of getting revenge against the little tramp who dared to mess with her . After all, she worried that she would not be able to handle the consequences should she offend Boss Zhou one more time .
As angry as she was at Yan Shuyu, Qin Luoyi dared not make any move . All she could do was pray that Boss Zhou would lose interest in the little tramp soon so she could redeem herself .
