A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 290 Have to Leave

"So as I said, I'm just making use of Ye Fan. Ye Fan is just a country bumpkin and a useless fellow, so I

must be blind if I fall for him. Qianqian, you'd better stay further away from such people. Besides, aren't

you really good friends with Mu-Cheng? You'd better tell her to hurry up and divorce this good-for-

nothing, otherwise he'd drag her down for the rest of her life," said Yang Qian very seriously to Su

Qian.

Of course Su Qian knew nothing about what Yang Qian was plotting and just nodded along in

agreement.

"I knew it. How could you like someone like Ye Fan? So that's what your motive is! But Qianny, I don't

think it's good for you to do this since it feels like you're cheating others of their feelings. But of course

you have the right to do whatever you want, I can't interfere too much. I'll work on persuading Mu-

Cheng. She's such a nice girl, so I'm not letting Ye Fan drag her down any longer."

After a chat, they went separate ways.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Lu Wen-Jing

headed home.

But when they walked past a shopping mall, Lu Wen-Jing called out to Ye Fan and made him go in to

buy cosmetics with her.

But when an older man like Ye Fan walked into the cosmetics store with a teenaged Lolita, all the

passersby started looking strangely at Ye Fan and he felt very uncomfortable.

There were even those who gave Ye Fan a thumbs up and said, "Bro, you're good!"

"But take it slow, Lolitas are great but it starts from three years all the way to the death penalty..."

Ye Fan's expression completely darkened.

Now he knew why those people looked at him so strangely. They must have thought that Lu Wen-Jing

was his girlfriend.

But that made sense too. Most girls would buy cosmetics with either their besties or a boyfriend.

"Fan, what does he mean by it starts from three years all the way to the death penalty?" asked Lu

Wen-Jing as she didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Nothing, those people were spouting nonsense, just pretend you didn't hear anything. But Jingjing,

aren't you a little too mature for your age? You're still so young and you're already using makeup? And

you're buying such expensive ones too!" remarked Ye Fan in shock.

Lu Wen-Jing used her pretty eyes to glare back at Ye Fan. "Fan, I just knew you didn't care about Mu-

Cheng."

"Did you know that Mu-Cheng has finished using all her makeup a long time ago? I'm buying these for

her."

Ye Fan suddenly understood what Lu Wen-Jing was doing and he started to feel guilty inside. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He was Qiu Mu-Cheng's husband, but he wasn't even as considerate as a child.

At night, Lu Wen-Jing secretly placed all these items onto Qiu Mu-Cheng's dresser. She was afraid that

Qiu Mu-Cheng would refuse to accept these things, so she didn't tell Qiu Mu-Cheng about them.

When they had dinner, Lu Wen-Jing even stole glances at Qiu Mu-Cheng to see if she had any

reaction. She was relieved when she saw that Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like she hadn't discovered the

items yet.

Lu Wen-Jing would go home in a few days, so even if Qiu Mu-Cheng discovered them then, she would

have no choice but to accept them because Lu Wen-Jing would have returned to Jingzhou by then.

Lu Wen-Jing's home was in Jingzhou and she was on school holidays these few days. That's why she

could come over to visit Qiu Mu-Cheng on behalf of her mother.

Before this, Master Qiu had said personally that none of the Qiu family members could have any

dealings with Qiu Mu-Cheng's family anymore. So no matter how much Lu Wen-Jing's mother missed

Qiu Mu-Cheng and family, she didn't dare to go against her father and could only allow her own

daughter to visit them on her behalf.

After dinner, Ye Fan started to clear the table to start washing the dishes.

But for some reason, Lu Wen-Jing insisted on helping Ye Fan with the dishes and got him to teach her

how.

"Fan, I'll listen to you. In order to be able to get married in the future, I'm going to learn how to do

household chores too. I'll help to bear some of my future husband's burden,” said Lu Wen-Jing as she

grinned.

Ye Fan indulgently patted this adorable little young lady on the head.

But before going to bed, Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly called Ye Fan over.

"This is to pay for this month's household expenses. I'm sorry, but there's a bit of a problem in the

company and we haven't paid out the salaries yet. I'm not sure what will happen in the future, so save

more if you can."

Qiu Mu-Cheng passed some money to Ye Fan.

Everything in the house had to be paid for, and Ye Fan took care of all these things while Qiu Mu-

Cheng just gave him some money every month.

But this time, the amount was clearly lesser than before.

“Mu-Cheng, are you under a lot of pressure? If you don't want to work anymore, just let me know?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like she had become very haggard because of the company, and Ye Fan started

to feel his heart ache for her.

He wasn't sure if he had done the right thing either.

Perhaps it was really too hard for her to support an entire company and corporation all by herself.

But before leaving, Ye Fan really hoped that Qiu Mu-Cheng could have her own career and would be

able to stand on her own two feet.

All these years, he had suffered quietly behind the scenes.

One reason was that he couldn't reveal his identity for certain reasons, and the other reason was

because he hoped that Qiu Mu-Cheng could become stronger.

Even if he wasn't around, he hoped that she could be able to rely on herself and to live with confidence.

That's right. Ye Fan would have to leave someday.

He had planned this for ten years, and he had planted Sparks all over the world.

The day that these sparks were set off was the time when Ye Fan would have to leave.

He had to return to the Chu family sooner or later.

He was doing this for the sake of his mother, and for the sake of avenging the humiliation he suffered

back then. He was also going to get back at those family members who looked down on him and his

mother.

Ye Fan knew very well how powerful the Chu family was.

And that's why even though he had planned this for many years, Ye Fan wasn't sure if he could still

come back after he really started his plan to take revenge on the Chu family.

All these years, Ye Fan had worked hard towards the brightest future he could possibly have, but he

had also made plans for the worst case scenario.

Just like in the case of Qiu Mu-Cheng. Even though Ye Fan was able to give her everything in the

world, he still wanted her to work hard to become strong and to be able to face any storms in life

instead of just being kept in a greenhouse.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just smiled at Ye Fan's questions. That smile carried a strange

determination.

"Ye Fan, I'm fine. I won't give up and I will work hard to produce results. I don't like being looked down

by others and I don't like others to pity me. I'm going to work hard and one day, I will be able to buy the

things I want with my own money, and not rely on someone younger...Also, Ye Fan, once I've earned

enough money, I also want to hold our wedding again. I will not be looked down by others!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng clenched her fists tightly and there was a determined gleam in her beautiful eyes.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had discovered what Lu Wen-Jing did long ago, but she didn't talk about it. After all,

talking about it only made her feel even more awkward.

So she just remembered Lu Wen-Jing's kindness and also used it to motivate herself.

If she didn't work hard, then she would remain in a situation where she had to rely on someone

younger to even buy something as basic as cosmetics.

After that, Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to hunch over her desk and deal with company matters.

Ye Fan looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng's incomparably beautiful face under the moonlight and he was

strangely consoled.

"Mu-Cheng, there are some things you have to fight for yourself."

"But whatever I owe you, I will definitely return them to you."

"Just wait and see, Mu-Cheng. It won't be long before I give you the grandest and most opulent

wedding of the century!"
