A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 184 What the Heck Is Going On?

Without Han Hai and the rest, Qiu Mu-Cheng's family had gone back to the way it used to be. Only Han

Li would start whining about how the manager at Haiyuan Restaurant had tricked them that night.

"So much for being the general manager of Haiyuan Restaurant. In order to sell off that bottle of wine,

he pretended to know Yu-Hao and even brought food and wine over so politely. What a ruse! He

actually managed to cheat nearly $700,000 out of us."

"I don't think that's some high class restaurant at all. It's just a place that cheats their customers of their

money!"

Han Li was still aggrieved by what happened that night at Haiyuan Restaurant. She couldn't believe

that they had been played out like that. The manager said he was giving the wine away but forced them Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

to pay for it. She had just smashed one tiny teacup and he charged her so much for it. They had a prior

agreement to charge them less and that turned out to be a lie as well. The worst part was, the

restaurant refused to let them go even though they promised to send the money the next day, and the

four of them had to stay overnight in the restaurant.

Han Li had never been so embarrassed in her entire life.

"What do you think Yu-Hao will think after paying so much for dinner? Do you think he would see us as

people who don't know our limits and have a bad impression of us?" Han Li was getting worried during

dinnertime.

Qiu Lei consoled her, "It's going to be just fine. $700,000 is a lot of money to us, but Yu-Hao is so rich

and this tiny amount isn't going to affect his impression of us..."

The two of them consoled themselves like this because they were just afraid of losing this potential

wealthy son-in-law.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was speechless when she heard what her parents said. She just pretended not to have

heard them and couldn't be bothered to interrupt them

either.

Ye Fan also ate quietly but he was feeling very amused inside.

He didn't expect the general manager of the restaurant to be so vicious either. Peng Zhen-Ying had

actually billed Sun Yu-Hao so much just because he wasn't around and even detained the four of them

for not being able to pay up.

"That Sun Yu-Hao must be feeling terribly embarrassed too, I suppose," thought Ye Fan to himself

gleefully.

But even though things had turned out like that, it was clear that Han Li and the rest still didn't

understand what happened to them that night.

They just thought that Peng Zhen-Ying had tricked them by pretending to know Sun Yu-Hao and giving

them wine on that pretext. Then after they had finished the wine, he suddenly turned on them and

forced them to pay up.

"What a scheme! We're such intelligent and sharp people but we actually fell for this," sighed Qiu Lei.

He just felt that city folk were really too good at such schemes.

Ye Fan just listened to them and smiled with talking.

Qiu Mu-Cheng spotted Ye Fan's smirk and glared at him as she hissed quietly, "Wipe that silly smile off!

Finish your food and go with me to the mall later."

"Yes, dear!" Ye Fan replied instantly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, so Qiu Mu-Cheng had to buy some things for the family.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's BFF, Su Qian, had just called half an hour ago to ask Qiu Mu-Cheng to go shopping

with her, and even specially asked Qiu Mu-Cheng to bring Ye Fan along.

Of course Ye Fan knew that Su Qian hadn't called him along because she fancied him. He knew that

she wanted him around only to help them to carry things.

But he didn't make a fuss about it and agreed to tag along.

There was nothing wrong in getting a husband to carry things for his wife anyway.

Ye Fan was more than happy to do this.

After they were done with dinner, Su Qian drove to their place and picked up Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye

Fan.

It was nearly time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

All the shopping malls were filled with festivities.

The malls were all having promotions and there were boxes and boxes of mooncakes piled up at the

entrances and in the most prominent spots.

"These days, you can only see such festivities happening in a mall huh," sighed Ye Fan while shaking

his head. He stood at the entrance to the mall and looked around at how lively and noisy the mall was.

"What are you mumbling about over there? You've got to keep up with us! If you're going to walk so

slowly just because you're carrying some things, then there's no point in calling you along," Su Qian

hurried him impatiently.

Ye Fan didn't know what to say and just exclaimed, "I say, my beautiful Miss Su, why did you buy so

many things? Even if you're rich, this isn't the way to spend money.”

"How many bags do you have already? Why do you still want to buy more?"

Ye Fan had finally understood how frightening these rich men's daughters could be. Ye Fan was

drowning in handbags but Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't look like they were stopping anytime

soon.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't too bad though. She had bought a number of things, but they were all practical

household items and the most expensive thing she bought was a $200 lipstick. Meanwhile, Su Qian

was nuts. She had bought five pairs of high heels and they were the same design too.

She said she didn't know which color to choose, so she ended up just buying one of every color.

Ye Fan was speechless. He didn't know anybody who bought things like that.

People in ancient times were right after all. The most difficult people to feed were cheapskates and

women.

"My wife is still the best after all. She knows how to live simply and save money for the family," Ye Fan

felt so relieved inside.

His wife was better after comparing her to others.

"Shut up! How dare you call me ‘beautiful Miss Su'! Are you trying to hit on me? Spit it out now! Are you

interested in me because I'm pretty?! TSK! Country bumpkins like you are the worst, always looking at

other women even though you're already married. Mu-Cheng, are you seriously not getting rid of this

man?”

Su Qian was very confident of her charm, so even though Ye Fan had just said it out of frustration, Su

Qian actually thought he was trying to hit on her.

In the end, Su Qian stuck her chin out and looked down at Ye Fan as she arrogantly declared, "I'm

adored by everyone in the world, so it's only normal that you would also be attracted to me. But I'll tell

you right now - forget it."

"Besides the fact that you're not worthy of me, the more important part is that I already have someone

in mind. I will only become Mr Chu's woman. I'll marry nobody else but him!"

"Do you know who Mr Chu is? At Mount Tai, he saved all of Jiangdong all by himself, and all the big

shots of Jiangdong consider him their leader, so now he rules over Jiangdong. He's someone so high

up, I suppose a louse like you has never heard of him."

The more Su Qian went on, the more distant her eyes looked, and there was a strange gleam in her

eyes. When she mentioned Mr Chu, her voice was filled with reverence and admiration, and she

sounded like she couldn't wait to give Mr Chu a child.

Ye Fan didn't bother about what Su Qian was saying at first and just sat down to drink some water.

At first, Ye Fan thought that Su Qian was just talking about some classmate or old friend of hers. But

when he heard Su Qian mention the fight at Mount Tai, he got startled and spat all the water in his

mouth out.

COUGH COUGH!

"Mr...Mr Chu?"

"Did you...did you say...you're marrying nobody else but him?"

"Please don't do that!"

Ye Fan's face fell and he started choking on his water. He was on the verge of tears already.

Good god!

His wife's BFF was in love with him?!

What the heck was going on?

His wife will chop him to pieces if she knew about it!
