A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 192 Enemies Always Cross Paths

"You still dare to laugh. It's all because of you! If you don't want to get a scolding, then stay sharp

tomorrow and don't let my parents smell a rat," Qiu Mu-Cheng instructed Ye Fan sternly and went back

to her room.

"Dear, I'm going to take a bath, don't forget to leave the door open for me!" Ye Fan shamelessly called

out after her.

It was better if he hadn't said anything. After Ye Fan called out after her, Qiu Mu-Cheng slammed the

door shut behind her and locked it.

"You can sleep in the study!"

Ye Fan laughed bitterly at himself.

Fine...

He wasn't even allowed to sleep on the floor of her bedroom anymore.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, the sun had barely risen when Su Qian drove over to Qiu Mu-

Cheng's house and honked loudly.

"Su Qian, what is wrong with you? Are you nuts?!" Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't believe how impatient this

crazy woman was.

"Mu-Cheng, let's go! If we reach too late, we won't be able to get good seats! There'll be so many

people tonight and I don't want to end up sitting right behind and see nothing just like the last time." Su

Qian was clearly traumatized by what happened back at Mount Tai and ended up coming in such a

hurry to get Qiu Mu-Cheng out of the house.

"Didn't you read the instructions on the ticket? They'll only open the doors after 9," said Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Exactly! So we've got to take this chance to get ourselves all dolled up! Choosing what to wear and

putting on makeup is going to take us hours anyway!"

"I can't believe you," Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes twitched uncontrollably as she listened to Su Qian.

"Come on, Mu-Cheng, hurry up and come with me and help me choose what to wear? Your BFF has

been single for so many years, so you've really got to help me out this time," Su Qian tugged at Qiu

Mu-Cheng's arm and pleaded with her.

"Hmm? Mu-Cheng, what's this about getting a good seat? Where are the two of you off to so early in

the morning?" Han Li woke up from the commotion and caught bits and pieces of their conversation.

"Hello Auntie! It's today's Mid-Autumn Festival Auc-UNGHHH!!”

Qiu Mu-Cheng cut Su Qian off by cupping a hand over her mouth and dragged her downstairs. "Mum, I

can't talk now. I have to get ready for the meeting later and I'll be back very late tonight, don't worry

about me."

"What are these two silly girls up to now..." Han Li just looked at the two ladies run off together and Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

didn't know what was going on.

But she didn't give it much thought and went back to her room to sleep.

Qiu Mu-Cheng called Ye Fan to tell him to meet her at Shanshui Hall at 9AM.

The hours passed by quickly.

Ye Fan appeared punctually at Shanshui Hall at 9AM.

The entire street was already filled with people.

Every person here was someone with an impressive family or background of sorts. You could randomly

pick someone out and he would be somebody well-known in Jiangdong.

But that only made sense. Ordinary folk would never have even heard of the event happening that very

day, and those who had actually heard of it were fairly powerful people in Yunzhou. So the actual

attendees were even more influential.

"Wen-Fei, it's so crowded!"

Of course. Do you know what's happening later today? Apparently even Mr Chu is going to appear

tonight. And who's Mr Chu? He's the king of Jiangdong! That's enough to gather all the big shots from

all over! And since it's a public holiday today, everyone is going to come and have a look."

There was a clingy couple standing not too faraway and gasping at the lively crowd in front of them.

And these two were obviously Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying.

"Wen-Fei, are you sure you can't get a ticket for the auction tonight? I really want to go for it," pleaded

Qiu Mu-Ying.

The auction was happening at night, but there were some other activities happening in the day as well.

But of course, these day activities were nothing compared to the auction at night.

But that was also why people like Chu Wen-Fei could actually come and see what was going on.

After all, it was much easier to get a ticket to the daytime activities.

Chu Wen-Fei shrugged and said, "Yingying, this is a really difficult task. Even my dad couldn't get a

ticket. But don't you worry, in less than ten years, I promise you that I'm going to reach such a high

position in society that the organizers would come personally to invite me to the auction."

"Wen-Fei, I believe in you!" Qiu Mu-Ying was touched and mesmerized by Chu Wen-Fei's determined

look and collapsed into his arms.

"Hoho, I was wondering why there was so much noise. So someone is here blowing his trumpet," a

strange chuckle came from in front of the couple just as Chu Wen-Fei was proudly showing off.

"What?" Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei were both a little stunned when they heard this voice.

Why did this voice sound so familiar?

"Ye Fan, so it's you! Seeing a country bumpkin like you really spoils my mood! I can't believe I'm

running into you even during the Mid-Autumn Festival! You're seriously everywhere!" Qiu Mu-Ying

started yelling at him after she got over her initial shock.

"What are you doing here? Did you think you could come to a place like this? Get lost! Tsk, seeing you

makes me so angry," Qiu Mu-Ying continued to berate him.

But Ye Fan didn't care about them. He noticed that Qiu Mu-Cheng was here and quickly walked over to

meet with her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was wearing a pair of white high heeled shoes to reveal her fair ankles, and she was

simply enchanting.

She was wearing a black dress with lace trimmings, and the gathered waist design accentuated Qiu

Mu-Cheng's perfect figure, while the silk skirt made her look elegant. The most eye catching thing was

the large and sparkly diamond ring on Qiu Mu-Cheng's left ring finger.

The minute Qiu Mu-Cheng appeared, she drew the attention of nearly every single person in her

vicinity.

Her cold demeanor and incomparable beauty made Qiu Mu-Cheng look like the brightest star in the

sky.

"Oh my goodness, which rich man's wife is this?"

"She's so pretty!"

"She must be married to some wealthy man!"

Many people around her started murmuring among themselves.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng had really taken the trouble to dress up.

She was dressed simply but elegantly.

She looked both graceful and dignified.

And of course, Qiu Mu-Cheng had dressed herself up nicely not because she wanted to seduce Mr

Chu like Su Qian. She was just trying to be dressed appropriately for the occasion.

After all, she was attending a rather important event, and the auction at night would be a bigger

gathering of even more important people.

So of course Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't dare to dress too poorly at such an event, otherwise others might

laugh at her.

"What rich man's wife? She's just the wife of a live-in husband. And this husband is a penniless and

useless country bumpkin," Qiu Mu-Ying's snorts rang out from the crowd.

Qiu Mu-Ying then walked over and smiled, "Hello, Mu-Cheng. How does it feel to be an abandoned

dog?"

"Nice dress, branded too. You must have spent a lot, right? You'd better be thriftier next time, otherwise

you might run out of money to even buy rice. And why are you even here today? Everyone here is a

member of high society, unlike you. Are you here to motivate yourself with the vast difference between

yourself and everyone

else? And you even brought this useless husband of yours along. Don't you find him embarrassing?”

Qiu Mu-Ying laughed at her with a mocking look in her eyes.
