The Violet Orchid Grand Hotel was the most luxurious seven-star hotel in the city.
Tonight's appreciation banquet was held here.
Qin Hanchu did not ride with Elder Qiu but drove his sports car to the venue himself.
As soon as he got out of the car, a hotel attendant rushed to greet him.
After handing the car keys to the valet, Qin Hanchu entered the hotel lobby.
He stood quietly by the elevator, waiting.
Just then, a young couple, accompanied by four bodyguards, walked over.
The young couple were entwined like lovers, talking in explicit terms as if no one else were around.
Qin Hanchu merely glanced at them and then ignored them.
The elevator doors opened, and the people inside disembarked.
As Qin Hanchu was about to step into the elevator, the bodyguards of the young couple blocked his way.
The lead bodyguard said coldly, "Wait for the next one!"
Qin Hanchu frowned. "The elevator has plenty of space. Why should I wait?"
"Our young master dislikes sharing elevators with strangers. If he tells you to wait, then wait. Don't talk back."
Hearing the bodyguard's arrogant reply, Qin Hanchu sneered. "If anyone's waiting, it's you!"
Seeing Qin Hanchu walk in despite the obstruction, the lead bodyguard stepped forward to push him out.
Qin Hanchu was not one to be pushed around. He dodged the bodyguard's hand and kicked him out.
"How dare you lay a hand on me! Take him down!"
Seeing Qin Hanchu kick out his bodyguard, the young man roared in anger.
The remaining three bodyguards immediately attacked, but they were no match for Qin Hanchu.
With cries of pain, the three bodyguards were sent flying out of the elevator one after another.
"Do you know who my boyfriend is? You..."
Before the young girl could finish speaking, Qin Hanchu kicked her out.
As for the young man, before he could say a word, he too was thrown out by Qin Hanchu.
Just to take an elevator, these two actually expected VIP treatment.
"You dare lay a hand on me, you just wait!"
Seeing the elevator doors close, the young man cursed.
"Darling, he actually dared to kick me. We absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"
The young girl, having been kicked by Qin Hanchu and landing face-first, felt her chest throb painfully.
She clutched her chest and shouted angrily at the young man.
"You four useless fools, you can't even beat one person. And you call yourselves elites? I could find a few old folks from a nursing home who are stronger than you!" The young man reprimanded his four bodyguards. "Find out his location and give him a good beating! If you can't help me vent this anger, your company can pack up and leave!"
"Yes, I'll check the surveillance immediately." One of the bodyguards hurried away.
While the young couple was in a rage, Qin Hanchu had already stepped out of the elevator.
"Mr. Baili, please follow me."
Outside the elevator, Qiu Meiling and Zhao Jiahan were waiting respectfully.
Upon seeing Qin Hanchu appear, they both quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Qin Hanchu smiled and nodded, following them towards the banquet hall.
"Young friend, please take your seat quickly."
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Elder Qiu hurried to his feet to welcome him.
Besides Elder Qiu, Qiu Meiling, and Zhao Jiahan, there were several middle-aged men and women in the banquet hall.
These middle-aged individuals were Elder Qiu's children.
Among them were Qiu Meiling's parents and Zhao Jiahan's parents.
Qin Hanchu did not stand on ceremony and, at Elder Qiu's invitation, took the VIP seat.
"Young friend, let me introduce you."
"This is my eldest son, who is also Meiling's father."
After Elder Qiu finished the introduction, Qiu Meiling's father quickly handed a check to Qin Hanchu and said, "Thank you, sir, for curing my daughter's illness. This check is a small token of our family's appreciation. Please do not mind it."
Qin Hanchu did not take the check. He smiled and said, "It was just a small effort. This check is not necessary."
"Young friend, this is my son's sincere gesture. Consider it his consultation fee." Seeing Qin Hanchu refuse, Elder Qiu quickly said.
Qin Hanchu was too lazy to waste time on such matters. Since the Qiu family insisted on giving it, Qin Hanchu casually accepted it. "Alright, then I will accept it."
Next, Elder Qiu introduced the other family members.
"Why hasn't Xiao Jie arrived yet?" After introducing everyone present, Elder Qiu asked his third son.
As Elder Qiu's third son was about to speak, the banquet hall door was pushed open.
Immediately after, a young couple entered.
Coincidentally, this young couple were the very ones who had a conflict with Qin Hanchu earlier!
The young man among them was Elder Qiu's grandson, "Xiao Jie"!
"How are you here? What a coincidence. Let's see how I'll deal with you this time!"
Upon entering the banquet hall, Xiao Jie spotted Qin Hanchu and shouted in anger.
Seeing his grandson yelling at Qin Hanchu, Elder Qiu was furious. "You scoundrel, how dare you speak to a guest like that?"
"Guest!"
Elder Qiu's reprimand brought Xiao Jie back to his senses. He realized Qin Hanchu was seated in the VIP section.
He knew the Qiu family was hosting a distinguished guest today, but he never expected this guest to be Qin Hanchu.
Just a young man, what qualifications did he have to be a VIP of the Qiu family?
"Grandpa, this guy hit the two of us just now!" Xiao Jie pointed at Qin Hanchu and said angrily.
"Mr. Qiu, Xiao Jie is not lying," the young woman quickly added. "He hit us downstairs just now."
Qin Hanchu's expression remained calm. He said indifferently, "Yes, they didn't say anything, but I did indeed kick them."
Elder Qiu was no fool. He coldly reprimanded Xiao Jie, "Tell me, why did young friend hit you?"
"This..." Xiao Jie was momentarily speechless. He clearly knew who was in the wrong in the previous incident.
Seeing Xiao Jie hesitate, Elder Qiu knew who was at fault.
"Young friend, it is my fault for not disciplining him properly. I beg for your forgiveness."
"I will not be eating this meal. I'm leaving now." Qin Hanchu was not lacking this meal and did not want to waste more words with Xiao Jie, so he stood up to leave.
"Young friend..."
Seeing Qin Hanchu about to leave, Elder Qiu hurriedly stood up to stop him.
But Qin Hanchu was too fast; Elder Qiu could not stop him.
Seeing Qin Hanchu leave directly, Elder Qiu trembled with anger.
"Tell me exactly what happened!"
Seeing how angry Elder Qiu was, Xiao Jie finally realized he had caused trouble.
He was quite afraid of Elder Qiu.
The matter between him and Qin Hanchu could easily be investigated and the truth revealed, so Xiao Jie dared not lie.
With no other option, he recounted the entire incident.
"You truly have a lot of nerve!"
"From today onwards, Qiu Jie is no longer a descendant of the Qiu family!"
"Anyone who dares to give him another cent will also be cast out of the Qiu family!"
"My Qiu family does not have such a decadent descendant!"
Elder Qiu never expected his descendant to be so arrogant and dissolute!
Just to take an elevator, he wanted to drive someone else out.
Who else could Xiao Jie have offended but Qin Hanchu?
Although Elder Qiu was not very familiar with Qin Hanchu, he knew that Qin Hanchu possessed exceptional medical skills and martial prowess.
He had intended to win Qin Hanchu over, but his grandson had ruined it all!
