A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 289 Approve it? Dream On!

This clearly meant a lot to Master Qiu. So when he saw that Wang Xing-Duo was calling, he grabbed

the phone from Qiu Guang.

"Manager Wang, this is Qiu Zhenglun. Did you have a good time at the art exhibition today? My

granddaughter, Qiu Mu-Ying, put a lot of effort into this outing."

Master Qiu was all smiles as he went straight to the point, "So do you think you can approve Qiushui

Real Estate's..."

"Approve my ass!" Before Master Qiu finished talking, Wang Xing-Duo interrupted him and cursed. It

was like a slap on Master Qiu's face.

There was a ringing sound in Master Qiu's head as his mind went blank!

"Qiu Zhenglun, this must be my bad karma or something! Have I ever offended you? First, you gave

me a stolen jade hairpin and our lunch turned into a date at the police station. And now even that

painting is a fake! I was so embarrassed and I'm now a laughingstock! The Yunzhou art circles have

exiled me because of you! Why was I so unlucky to meet idiots like you? And you want to be

approved? Approval my ass! You can dream on! I would rather give it to a dog than to the Qius. You

are already so old with one foot, why go into real estate? Don't you have anything better to do? Just

wait to die!"

Wang Xing-Duo was cursing furiously over the phone. His face was livid and still a little swollen from

getting kicked by the crowd at the Art Center.

Wang Xing-Duo made himself a complete laughingstock today at the exhibition. He was even chased

out and beaten up.

He was filled with hate now and took it out on the Qius.

First, a stolen jade hairpin, then a forged painting that was even supposedly a gift from the head of the

Shen family. Was Qiu Mu-Ying lying when she talked about how incredible they were in the past?

The Qius sabotaged him time and time again. How could anyone bear it?

Wang Xing-Duo wanted to grab a knife and kill all the assholes in the Qiu family right now.

He had already hung up.

Master Qiu was in a daze as he continued holding the phone and remained standing in the living room.

His face was as white as paper.

"Dad, what happened? Did we get the approval? I told you Yingying is capable, right? The minute she

steps up, she can solve anything."

After Master Qiu's phone call ended, Wang Qiao-Yu walked over and kept smiling as she spoke to

Master Qiu like she was trying to take credit.

She talked about her daughter so proudly and her smiles were practically dripping with honey.

"Dad, why aren't you saying anything? You must be so excited that you're speechless. Hahaha! There's

no need to get excited now. In the future, there will be even more things that Yingying will make you

happy with. But if you want to reward my daughter, you just need to give her the incense burner. Haha!”

Wang Qiao-Yu chuckled loudly. She was already asking Master Qiu to reward her daughter.

"A reward? How dare you ask for a reward? You should consider yourself lucky that I didn't kick you

two to death!"

Master Qiu could no longer suppress himself and slapped her.

There was a loud smacking sound as his slap landed on Wang Qiao-Yu's face.

"I planned Qiushui Real Estate for decades. Now everything is in place and we just need the approval.

But everything got messed up! You're all incompetent! Why did I trust any of you? Call Qiu Mu-Ying

immediately! Get her to come back right now! NOW!"

Master Qiu's furious and thunderous cries sent shockwaves through the entire living room.

Everyone panicked and no one dared to say a word.

Wang Qiao-Yu covered her face as she sat limply on the ground. She was too afraid to say a word.

Ye Fan was unaware of the action going on at the Qius'.

Luo Da-Hai had seen Ye Fan respectfully out of the Art Center.

Su Qian still felt that everything that just happened was still unbelievable.

Lu Wen-Jing was especially surprised.

Even the way she looked at Ye Fan had changed.

"Fan, you're brilliant. You even know how to appraise brush painting and calligraphy?

I heard from Mom that you're just a useless live-in husband and you brought shame upon Mu-Cheng.

But after today, I realized you were just like Mu-Cheng described - you aren't half bad after all," said Lu

Wen-Jing in surprise as she blinked her large eyes.

Ye Fan smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether Lu Wen-Jing was praising or insulting him.

After all, Lu Wen-Jing didn't sound like she was commending him.

Su Qian then asked, "Ye Fan, how did you know it was a fake? Weren't you clueless about appraisal?

Were you lying to us about it?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I've already explained the reason earlier. The real painting is with

me, so this one must be fake."

"Oh please, do you really have to keep pretending?" The little good impression she had accumulated

towards Ye Fan swiftly dissipated when she heard him say this.

Who was that Shen Jiu-Yi?

He was the head of Shen Group and the Shen family!

Even the mayor of Yunzhou had to treat him like a VIP.

And Ye Fan? This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He came from a poor background with no status or money. There was even the bad name of a live-in

husband hanging over his head.

They had such different identities.

"Did you think Mr Shen is crazy or something? Why would he give you a painting worth tens of

millions? Can't you tell a more believable lie?!” said Su Qian angrily as she rolled her eyes at Ye Fan.

But no one noticed that Yang Qian was still standing behind them and was smiling coldly as Su Qian

was still angrily shouting away.

"Qianqian, oh Qianqian. You probably don't know what sort of big shot is standing before you now. But

too bad, I'm afraid that you'd try to fight with me for him, so I'm never telling you about this."

Yang Qian was filled with smugness and happiness when she thought about this.

Su Qian was clueless about what her BFF was thinking about.

Now that the exhibition had ended, Su Yuan-Shan's mission for her was completed and Su Qian no

longer had to hang out with Ye Fan. So the minute they left the Art Center, Su Qian pulled Yang Qian to

leave together.

But Yang Qian insisted on waiting for the bus with Ye Fan before she was willing to leave.

"Qianny, what's gotten into you? Have you really fallen for Ye Fan? Have you thought it through

carefully? He is not the son of a rich man or a high ranking official, so he has no money or power. He

might know a little about brush painting and calligraphy, but that isn't enough to make a livelihood on.

We don't even know if he knows anything for sure. So what is it that you

like about him?" asked Su Qian perplexedly the moment Ye Fan left.

Yang Qian naturally wasn't going to tell Su Qian the truth. After some consideration, she replied,

"Qianqian, you're mistaken. Ye Fan is just a poor country bumpkin, so how can I fall for him? I was only

putting on an act for Luo Feng to see. You see, men often women that are hard to get!"

"What do you think Luo Feng will be thinking about since I'm so chummy with Ye Fan? He would think

that he was on the verge of losing me and start courting me more aggressively in the future and treat

me better than before. Then he'll buy me iPhones, buy me branded bags..."
