The thing was that it would not matter even if they wanted to serve a full vegetarian banquet. A good chef would be able to make delicious food out of the most ordinary ingredients.

Qiao Mei had previously tasted a dish called “Mock Abalone”. The ingredients were all vegetables, but it tasted exactly like abalone. However, the dishes in front of them looked worse than boiled cabbages!

Xu Lan did not look too happy. This was the first time in so many years that someone did not bother to show her any respect. In the entire capital, even when the late Mrs. He was still alive, she did not dare to give Xu Lan such treatment. Xu Lan did not expect that after all these years, there were people who were arrogant enough to disrespect her.

“Why isn’t everyone eating? Dig in! Otherwise the food will get cold,” Du Juan said anxiously.

Li Gui stepped out of the room and went to the reception area to make a phone call. In order to ensure that the engagement banquet went on without a hitch, she had made a backup plan and told Molly to prepare a lot of ingredients on standby. She did not expect it to really come in handy.

“I don’t have much of an appetite. I’m not eating here anymore. Take your time to enjoy your meal. Qian’e, let’s go.” Xu Lan held Xia Mao’s arm and left the private room, feeling furious.

Xia You felt like flipping the table to vent her anger, but if she did that, people would say that the Xia family had ill-bred children. Xia You pointed at all the “boiled cabbages” on the table and said, “Young Master Han, take your time and enjoy your meal! I hope you have the best time of your life!”

Qiao Mei originally thought that Han Chen was independent enough to stand up to his parents, but she did not expect things to end up like this.

“I heard that the Han Corporation has encountered some difficulties recently. What a coincidence. I might end up being part of your difficulties. I’ll see you at the agreement signing in a few days.” After saying that, Qiao Mei smiled and left the private room.

Du Juan did not even bother to stand up to send the Xia family members off. She faced the direction where the Xia family members had left with a look of satisfaction. The fact was that she had only agreed to let Han Chen marry Qian’e to put in a temporary measure.

The famous Zhou family in the capital had agreed to let their daughter marry Han Chen. When that happened, the Han and Zhou families would be able to join forces and take over the Xia family’s position in the business world. It was no longer impossible for them to become the richest people in the country!

“Waiter! You can serve the dishes I ordered earlier!” Du Juan said happily.

“Yes, Mrs. Han.” The waiter removed all the vegetarian dishes from the table and replaced them with various meat dishes. Every dish looked very exquisite and it was obvious that they had been carefully prepared.

Han Chen stared at Du Juan with a dark expression and said, “This is part of your plan, right?”

“Yes, my son. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself for underestimating your enemy. From young, your father has always taught you not to trust anyone, but you’re still the same as before. I wonder where you kept all the knowledge we taught you!” Du Juan said resignedly.

“Fine. Let’s put aside the issue of my marriage with Qian’e, but do you know how extensive the Xia family’s businesses are now! Do you think you have the clout to offend the Xia family!” Han Chen said furiously.

“The entire Xia family is just full of soldiers. It’s just that the Xia family has managed to make some money in the past few years! How capable can they be! The only addition to the family is a villager daughter-in-law who knows how to farm. Do they really think they’re worth a lot of money!” Du Juan said disdainfully.

Han Chen did not want to waste his breath on Du Juan anymore. He knew very well that the Han family was finished and so was he. In less than a week, Qiao Mei would annex all of the Han Corporation’s businesses. It would be considered benevolent of Qiao Mei if she did not force them to shoulder all the debts.

Looking at the extent of the Xia family’s businesses, even if the He family was still at its peak now, they would think twice before targeting the Xia family. The Han family’s business was not even as big as one of Qiao Mei’s subsidiary companies!

“Elder Brother, I don’t like that woman you want to marry. My sister-in-law can only be Sister Zhou from the Zhou family!” Han Lin said rudely.

“The Zhou family? Do you think the Zhou family will still exist in a week’s time?” Han Chen said sarcastically.

“What do you mean?” Du Juan looked at Han Chen in puzzlement.

“Do you know who’s the boss of the largest transportation company in the country? It’s Xia You! The person who told us to enjoy our meal just now! Do you know who’s the boss of the largest biological company, real estate company and food factory in the country? It’s that village girl you look down on!” Han Chen said.

“What! How can it be them!” Du Juan said as she looked at Han Chen in shock.

“That’s not all! The most acclaimed architect in the country now is Xia He’s husband! The largest photo studio chain in the capital is also under Xia He’s name! Then there are the businesses overseas!” Han Chen said.
