Chapter 25: Birthday Banquet (7)

Lu family is just below in terms of power and wealth compared to the Choi family.

Moreover, he is the only son in the family, and he will inherit the family's company in the future.

As for his elder sister, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a pawn used to marry others and pave the way for him.

And Choi Hyejin is just a cousin of the Choi family, so she can never get to their circle.

Lu Quiang fall in love with Choi Hyejin but she was uninterested to date him.

What he couldn't accept was when he found out that Choi Hyejin chose a country bumpkin over him.

"What else?" Seeing Lu Qiang's gaze, Kang Dongwon pulled Choi Hyejin behind him. "Why are you looking at her like that?"

Up to now, Kang Dongwon still doesn't understand anything. The only thing he knows is the person in front of him obviously

came for his girlfriend.

Although he knows that the people who came to this birthday party are rich and powerful people.

But if he can't even protect his girlfriend, then what kind of man he would be.

In addition to Kang Dongwon's character he has always been some what impulsive, so he confronted Lu Qiang without hesitation.

"Put away your wretched eyes" Kang Dongwon's words are full of disdain.

Lu Quiang didn't expect that Kang Dongwon would be so stubborn.

This made him very angry from embarrassment, and grabbed Kang Dongwon by the collar.

"Are you courting death? Do you know who this young master is?"

"Lu Quiang, let him go."

Choi Hyejin Immediately stepped forward, trying to push Lu Qiang away.

However, Lu Qiang, who became angry from embarrassment, shook his hand vigorously.

"Get out."

Choi Hyejin was wearing high heels, and was easily thrown hard by Lu Qiang.

Her feet were became unsteady and screamed as she fell backwards.

"Hyejin...!"

Kang Dongwon reacted quickly. He managed to pushed Lu Qiang away and then reached out to grab Choi Hyejin.

But it's too late.

Seeing that Choi Hyejin was about to fall on the ground, a blue figure rushed out from behind and caught Choi Hyejin.

When she fell, Choi Hyejin's mind went blank, and her pretty face was full of panic and fear.

She thought that her head would suffer tonight, and she even wondered if she would be thrown into a fool because of this.

Although Kang Dongwon stretched out his hand to save her, but it was too late to catch her.

Unexpectedly, someone behind managed to caught her.

To be precise, it should have reached out to support her from behind to prevent her from falling.

After Choi Hyejin stood firm, she turned around to thank the people behind her, but she saw a familiar face.

Choi Hyejin's was surprised and said. "Lee..... Lee Minho?"

Kang Dongwon had already come to Choi Hyejin's side, reached out to support her.

But when he looked up, he was also very surprised and said.

"Minho..?"

Seeing Kang Dongwon supporting Choi Hyejin. Lee Minho slowly withdrew his hand holding Choi Hyejin's back.

Then he nodded towards the two of them, and smiled lightly and said.

"What a coincidence."

Kang Dongwon was shocked and said. "Are

you really Lee Minho?"

Although the person in front of him had a face exactly like Lee Minho however, he couldn't connect the young man in front of him with his brother Lee Minho.

That's because the young man in front of him was dressed in a suit that was expensive at first glance, and had a noble and elegant temperament.

Lee Minho laughed and said.

"We just haven't seen each other for a few hours, and I just changed my clothes so why can't you recognized me?"

To Kang Dongwon's surprised. It's really the Lee Minho he knows.

He slowly opened his mouth, and when he was about to ask why Lee Minho was here Lu Qiang spoke first.

"Hey, kid, where did you come from?"

Seeing that young man seems to know Kang Dongwon, although he has an outstanding temperament.

But it was an unfamiliar face so Lu Qiang's momentum didn't stop and became even angrier.

Lu Quiang has met people from several people from the circles in Kyoto.

There is no such person as Lee Minho in there so he thought that that Lee Minho is not from the Kyoto circle.

In addition, he knew Kang Dongwon very well so Lu Qiang thought that Lee Minho is like Kang Dongwon whom he treated as a bumpkin from a small city.

However, Lee Minho ignored him. He didn't pay any attention to him at all and just looked at Choi Hyejin and asked.

"Are you all right?"

Choi Hyejin moved her foot lightly and shook her head. "It's okay."

Then she asked in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Kang Dongwon saw that Choi Hyejin was fine so he put his mind on Lee Minho.

"Yes, Minho why are you here?"

Lee Minho smiled helplessly. "Of course

I'm here to attend the birthday party."

He didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that he would meet Kang Dongwon and Choi Hyejin here.

In the morning, he heard from Kang Dongwon that he was going to attend Choi Hyejin's cousin birthday party tonight.

Lee Minho didn't expect that the party they're going to attend is the birthday banquet he was in.

What's even more shocking is Choi Hyejin's cousin was actually Choi Jaywon.

"Do you know my cousin, Choi Jaywon?" Choi Hyejin asked in surprise.

"Yes, I know him." Lee Minho nodded in

response.

Kang Dongwon was shocked, how could've Lee Minho knows Choi Hyejin's rich cousin?

Although Kang Dongwon had just met Choi Hyejin's cousin, when he was at the door just now.

Choi Hyejin's cousin had an arrogant attitude towards her and him. Lee Minho actually knew such a rich second generation?

Lu Quiang didn't expect that the three of them would start chatting, as if they completely forgot about his existence.

Lee Minho even ignored his question just

now.

Lu Quiang couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said. "How dare you ignore me?"

"Ignore what happened to you? Just what

kind of onion are you?"

Kang Taehyun and the others walked over in a mighty manner.

"Kang Taehyun?" Lu Quiang's face darkened, "What are you doing here?"

Although Kang Taehyun's Kang family is only on the same level as the Choi family.

However, there is a big backer behind it.

It was a monster that the Lu family dared not offend.

Therefore, even if Lu Quiang didn't like Kang Taehyun, he didn't dare to confront him head-on.

Kang Taehyun glanced at Lee Minho and nodded slightly.

He knew that Lee Minho liked to keep a low profile, so he would definitely not want to reveal his identity in the presence of so many people.

So, he immediately had a solution in mind.

Kang Taehyun sneered at Lu Quiang.

"Lu Quiang, this is the Choi family, not your Lu family. Choi Jaywon is my brother, and his cousin is my cousin."

Kang Taehyun added on. "If you stand on the land of the Choi family and bully the people of the Choi family, it is equivalent to bullying the people of my Kang family."

Lu Quiang raised his eyebrows, glanced back and forth between Kang Taehyun and Choi Hyejin and asked suspiciously.

"When did you, Kang Taehyun get so close to a girl outside the circle?"

Kang Taehyun raised his chin and said. "Do I need to let you whom I want to be friends with? Lu Quiang do you want to meddle on my own business?"

Seo Inguk cross his arms on the side and said with a sneer. "That's right, you couldn't just chase someone becoming angry from embarrassment, do you really think that this is your territory?"

Yoon Jungsu chimed in. "Isn't it because

they thought it was their Lu family's world? Otherwise, how could they be so stupid as to be here in the Choi family and threaten the people of the Choi family. This simply doesn't take the Choi family seriously."

"What nonsense are you talking

about?" Lu Quiang retorted.

Lu Qiang didn't expect that these people smoothly involved family issues from personal issues in just a few words.

Lu Quiang glanced at Kang Taehyun, Seo Seo Inguk and at Yoon Jungsu.

These people are not easy to mess with, not to mention, they are still in a group.

Moreover, Kang Taehyun is right, this is the territory of the Choi family, although the Choi family has encountered a little trouble recently.

But if he really to annoyed the Choi family, then he really couldn't afford it.

At this moment, Choi Jaywon who heard the news outside, walked in quickly.

When Choi Jaywon was outside, he suddenly heard a servant say that someone was making trouble inside.

Bullying his cousin.

Although Choi Jaywon doesn't care much about his cousin Choi Hyejin. And his relationship with her is also less.

It's just because his mother likes it her. So he needs give some face.

But not caring about it doesn't mean that he can let others bully his cousin on his own territory.

That was slapping him in the face, the face of his Choi family.

Choi Jaywon looked into the crowd, several guys can be seen.

It was Kang Taehyun and the others were standing beside Lee Minho. On the other side was was Lu Quiang, who he always disliked.

Kang Taehyun and the others definitely wouldn't do anything to bully his cousin at his birthday party.

He had always heard that Lu Quiang was chasing his cousin. And Choi Hyejin, the cousin seems to be uninterested.

Today he knows that she brought her boyfriend over.

Putting up the pieces together. He now knows what happened. So Lu Quiang just started looking for trouble?

Choi Jaywon felt that he had guessed the truth, and immediately said with a cold face.

"Lu Quiang, what are you doing at our Choi's house and at my birthday party? Bullying my cousin?"

Lu Quiang did not expect that Choi Jaywon would come so soon.

He was wondering. Choi Jaywon never interacts with cousin so how they become closer?

Right now he needs to save face and clarify things so that he can escape.

He pointed to his soiled clothes and said. "Choi Jaywon, it's not that I bullied your cousin, it was your cousin's boyfriend who picked it up first."

He continued on. "Did you see that he stained my clothes, so I'll ask him to apologize, just compensate me for my clothes. What's the problem?"

Lu Quiang said it outrightly, but Choi Hyejin couldn't help it, and opened her mouth to refute, but was held back by Kang Dongwon.

Kang Dongwon sneered and said. "There's

nothing wrong with it, he did just ask me to kneel down and apologize, and pay one million as compensation."

"What? Kneel down and apologize, and

pay one million as compensation?"

Choi Jaywon seemed to have heard some big joke.

"Lu Quiang, when did you become the emperor? They to kneel down for you to apologized? And when did your Lu family start to switch to extortion?"

Lu Quiang didn't expect that Choi Jaywon would save him in such a way, and he became angry immediately.

"Choi Jaywon!, are you going to become an enemy of our Lu family today because of this bumpkin? You don't plan to marry our Lu family, do you?"

That's right, there is another reason why Lu Quiang dared to be so arrogant in the Choi family.

That is the Choi family, intending to let Choi Jaywon marry Lu Quiang sister. Although Lu Quiang is a privileged, sometimes he has no brains.

Although Choi Jaywon also thinks that Lu Quiang's sister is good, but Lu Quiang is brainless younger brother.

It will definitely cause trouble in the future and might bring downfall to the family.
