Chapter 703: Chapter 703: That’s It with Just an Apology?

The people around all turned their attention to the man who had just spoken. He appeared to be around fifty, with an impressive demeanor and powerful presence. Being personally accompanied by Pei Shihan, his status mustn’t be low.

"Isn’t that Director Song?"

"Yes, if Chairman Pei personally accompanies someone, could it be an ordinary person? All these people are high officials from the city. Only Chairman Pei has the clout to invite them, otherwise ordinary people couldn’t manage."

One of the business owners also recognized several people accompanying Pei Shihan—after all, those involved in business inevitably dealt with government officials.

"That lady in the black dress looks somewhat familiar."

Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but take a deep breath. There was going to be quite a show now. Who here wasn’t sharp? Director Song speaking at this time had a profound implication.

"Old Song, did you run into someone you know?" Someone beside him gave Wang Jin’er another look, indeed a top-quality person that everyone found likable. However, Old Song speaking up at this moment seemed a bit "inopportune".

Unless his relationship with the lady was not ordinary.

"Heh, she is the daughter of a family friend, and my niece as well," remarked Director Song.

Pei Shihan knit his brows. With this man speaking up, it would be difficult to continue the questioning. After all, his position was not minor. If the Pei Family were to offend him, it would bring considerable trouble.

Just as Pei Shihan was weighing his options, considering to give face to the other party, Director Song spoke up again.

"Old Han, you might not recognize her. My niece has been studying all this time, so she hasn’t been particularly visible in society. However, you must be familiar with her father."

"Oh?"

"Chairman Wang Tiandao of the Wang Group is her father, she is the sole daughter of Old Wang. I haven’t seen her for two or three years. She really has changed, growing more and more beautiful. I almost didn’t recognize her a moment ago."

Director Song introduced her with a chuckle, and despite the low volume, his words caused a significant stir at the engagement party.

"She’s Chairman Wang’s daughter? No wonder she’s so graceful. Indeed, ’like father, like daughter’."

"Holy shit!"

The onlookers hearing this were instantly thrown into disarray. She was indeed the daughter of the Wang Group.

It was like dropping a bomb into a calm lake, leaving everyone unable to keep their composure.

"Hisss, the Wang Group, with several publicly listed companies, known for its ’Six Divine Series,’ with assets exceeding a trillion—a colossal enterprise. Not to mention leading the top ten groups in Sea City, it has never fallen out of the top three."

"And besides, the Wang Family is one of the Eight Families, with deep and profound foundations."

Even those who had never met them knew of the top ten groups in Sea City by reputation, and the Wang Group was something many looked up to.

The Wang Group had several major Divine Series companies, even the weakest held assets in the hundreds of billions. And the strongest Divine Wood Series had assets amounting to several hundred billion, a mining giant and the largest private mining company in the North, with several large mines, rivaling the state-owned mines.

One could imagine how strong a background and how vast a network the Wang Group had. Wanfu Group, though a behemoth in the jewelry industry, was simply a cat encountering an elephant compared to the Wang Group—hardly worth mentioning.

"The Wang Group’s sole heiress, Miss Wang, attending with this Li Feng... hiss." It didn’t take long for someone to pinpoint the crux of the matter.

If it had been earlier, they might have scorned Li Feng, wondering what right he had to be with Miss Wang of the Wang Family, or if he was once again mooching off a woman.

But now, he is Huacheng’s Crown Prince, the Century Group’s chairman. The status of these two were perfectly matched.

If the two were to marry, wouldn’t the pattern of Sea City’s top ten conglomerates undergo a massive change? Keep in mind, the Century Group is also one of the top ten conglomerates. Combined with the Wang Group, wouldn’t they form a super conglomerate?

"Wang Group seems to have just one heiress," someone said casually, and then many people suddenly understood as if they had uncovered a huge secret.

If these two were to unite, Yan Country’s wealthiest title might change hands.

Soon, many people’s gazes shifted back to Wanfu Group’s young mistress, Pei Shuangxue. As the heiress of Wanfu Group, Pei Shuangxue indeed had the right to be proud. After all, Wanfu Group had assets worth tens of billions, a true rich and beautiful woman.

If Wang Jin’er didn’t have any background, nobody would think it excessive for Pei Shuangxue to insult her. That’s reality. But Pei Shuangxue, now humiliating the young mistress of Wang Family, faced a distinctly different look from the crowd.

This heiress of the Pei Family really was spoiled rotten.

Slap.

Just then, Pei Shihan slapped his own daughter across the face. He had to slap her—Wang Group was not a force he could afford to offend.

If today’s events were to get out, his Wanfu Group would face catastrophe—this was no joke.

Wang Group’s sole heiress, rumored to be extremely doted on by Chairman Wang, dared to publicly call someone "green tea bitch," "cheap woman." If these words were to reach the chairman’s ears, Pei Shihan didn’t dare imagine the consequences.

The status of Sea City’s top ten conglomerates was deeply entrenched, not to mention the Wang Family’s foundation as one of the Northern Eight Families.

Only those within these circles truly understand—the barriers between circles can sometimes be unbreakable. For example, his Wanfu Group, with its hundreds of billions in assets, was rich enough, but could never squeeze into the sanctum of the Eight Families.

Some circles look at wealth, while others value heritage and lineage; to them, the Pei Family, no matter how prominent, was seen merely as nouveau riche.

"You hit me?"

Pei Shuangxue never expected her own father to hit her, given that he had never laid a finger on her since she was born.

"It’s all because I’ve spoiled you too much," he said. "Look what you’ve become, so wilful and unreasonable. Now apologize to Miss Wang Jin’er immediately."

"I won’t!"

Pei Shuangxue outright refused: "I will not apologize to that bitch."

Seeing his daughter stubborn and defiant, Pei Shihan felt a profound sense of helplessness. His daughter had indeed been spoiled beyond reason.

"Additionally, I’m calling off this arranged marriage today. Let whoever wants to have it, have it."

Once Pei Shuangxue’s haughty temper flared up, nobody could hold her back. Huo Yongtao didn’t come to her aid, and her father had slapped her; all the while, everyone watched her be humiliated.

With a look of grievance and tears at the corners of her eyes, Pei Shuangxue ran outside.

Pei Shihan watched his daughter flee, took a deep breath, and with a forced smile, turned to Wang Jin’er, "Miss Jin’er, my daughter has been spoiled by me, she is ignorant. It’s all my fault. Let me, as her father, apologize to you."

Pei Shihan’s attitude was very humble, and at over fifty years old, he was willing to set aside his pride to apologize to Wang Jin’er, which could be seen as full of sincerity.

"Heh, just an apology and it’s over?"
