A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 58 Who Have I Offended?

"Ai~"

"Mu-Cheng had such a good opportunity tonight, but she turned it down.”

"Instead of accepting Young Master Sun's invitation, she actually went shopping with that useless

trash."

"I have no idea what she is thinking."

Han Hai and his wife sighed softly, as they looked at the retreating backs of the couple who were

walking together under a shared umbrella.

They were angry at their niece for not putting in effort to secure her happiness and, at the same time,

they grieved over her misfortune.

Han Fei-Fei was the person who had gotten into the BMW earlier. She had taken her cousin's place

because Qiu Mu-Cheng had rejected Sun Yu-Hao's invitation and gone shopping with Ye Fan.

Han Hai's expression grew heavy. He remembered the last time he had seen his niece. Back then, she

had treated Ye Fan coldly, with a hint of dislike. But now, for some reason, there was a subtle change in

Qiu Mu-Cheng's attitude toward her husband.

Perhaps, Mu-Cheng has been touched by Ye Fan's persistence.

But Mu-Cheng, one day, you will understand that the good qualities of a man are nothing, when

compared to power and wealth.

Han Hai shook his head with a sigh, and called for his wife to return upstairs.

"Let's go. I believe tomorrow's jewelry exhibition will show Mu-Cheng the difference between Ye Fan

and Young Master Sun."

And then the Hans returned upstairs.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan were chatting as they walked to their destination.

My uncle was the one who introduced Sun Yu-Hao to me. Since I have rejected his invitation tonight, it

would be rude of me to turn down tomorrow's invitation."

"Therefore, tomorrow, I will be accompanying Sun Yu-Hao to the jewelry exhibition at Jianghai Hall.

Please come along as well."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's voice was soft, as if she was asking for Ye Fan's permission.

Although Qiu Mu-Cheng had not consummated her marriage with Ye Fan, they were still husband and

wife in name. And Ye Fan had given her a lot of help with the Qius' business matters. So when it came

to certain matters, Qiu Mu-Cheng had to consider his feelings.

Ye Fan did not object. Turning down this invitation would make him look petty. In any case, he would be

there as well. It was unlikely that Sun Yu-Hao would dare to do anything inappropriate to Qiu Mu-

Cheng, when her husband was accompanying her.

The rest of the night passed swiftly.

The next morning, Sun Yu-Hao called the Han's residence to inform them that he would come by and

pick them up at three in the afternoon.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng turned down his offer.

She told Sun Yu-Hao not to trouble himself as she would be taking her cousin's car to the exhibition.

Soon it was three o'clock.

"Mu-Cheng, quick. Let's go.”

"Don't keep Yu-Hao waiting."

Han Fei-Fei was happy as a lark. She had already changed into an exquisite long dress, and was

calling out to her cousin from downstairs.

"I am coming. I am coming."

A few moments later, both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan arrived downstairs.

"Mm?" "Why are you here?'

"Were you invited?" Han Fei-Fei asked unhappily. The smile had vanished from her face the moment

she saw Ye Fan.

"Fei-Fei, he is my husband. Don't be rude."

"If he is not going, then I am not going as well," Qiu Mu-Cheng added.

Han Fei-Fei had not choice but to let Ye Fan accompany them. Her parents wanted her to try her best

to bring Qiu Mu-Cheng and Sun Yu-Hao together. And Sun Yu-Hao had also asked her to lend a

helping hand. Therefore, Qiu Mu-Cheng must attend the jewelry exhibition.

"Okay, get into the car."

"Be careful. Don't dirty my car."

Han Fei-Fei glared at Ye Fan, her face full of disdain.

Afterward, the trio reached the city center, where Jianghai Hall was located.

"Mu-Cheng, let me tell you. This Jianghai Hall is where the elites gather. Despite my father's

connections, even he might not be able to get into today's exhibition."

"Only the wealthy and eminent, the members of Jianghai's upper-class society, are invited to today's

exhibition."

"If it weren't for Yu-Hao, we would not have the opportunity to attend."

"When the time comes, you go have fun with Yu-Hao. And I will take the opportunity to look for my

Prince Charming. If a Prince Charming happens to fall in love with me, then it will be a really profitable

day for me." Along the way, Han Fei-Fei chatted away happily and her words were full of exaggerated

praise for Sun Yu-Hao.

And soon, they arrived at their destination.

Numerous luxury cars were parked outside the venue. A modest vehicle, like Han Fei-Fei's Buick,

might be too embarrassed to park itself among them. Sometimes, the difference between the haves

and the have nots can be really obvious.

"Fei-Fei, Mu-Cheng, here you are at last."

Sun Yu-Hao had been waiting at the entrance for a while. When he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng and Han Fei-

Fei, a smile broke out on his face and he went forward to greet them.

He was holding a bouquet of flowers, which he presented to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"You have already turned me down once yesterday. This time, I hope you will not reject me again."

"Just pretend it is a gift from a friend."

And Sun Yu-Hao's words made it difficult for Qiu Mu-Cheng to reject the flowers.

"That's right, Mu-Cheng. If you turn him down for the second time, even I will think you are being

unreasonable." Han Fei-Fei was playing up to her role as matchmaker.

"Alright.” Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled embarrassedly and finally accepted the flowers, after glancing

surreptitiously at her husband.

"Mm?" Sun Yu-Hao frowned when he followed her gaze, and saw that Ye Fan had also arrived with the

girls.

But he maintained his gentlemanly decorum in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng, and did not make things difficult

for Ye Fan.

"Let's go. The exhibition is about to start. Let us go have a look," Sun Yu-Hao smiled.

"Let's go! Let's go~" Han Fei-Fei was getting impatient. And so, the group of four moved toward the

entrance.

"Sir and Ma'am, please let me see your invitations," said the security guard at the entrance.

Just then, Sun Yu-Hao remembered.

"Would you believe it? I have no idea what is wrong with my brain. I have forgotten to give you your

invitations."

And he hurriedly took out the invitations from his satchel.

"Haha, you were probably thinking about Mu-Cheng," Han Fei-Fei said teasingly.

A moment later, Sun Yu-Hao had already handed the invitations to Han Fei-Fei and Qiu Mu-Cheng. But

when it was Ye Fan's turn to receive one, Sun Yu-Hao slapped his thigh and made up an excuse.

"Oh no. Friend. I have only brought three invitations. How about I give you mine?"

Sun Yu-Hao was doing this on purpose. He had already known that he did not have enough invitations

to hand around. But he had waited till they were at the entrance before saying anything.

"Screw him. Why give him your invitation? He is poor. Can he afford to buy anything in there? Let him

stay out here and guard our car."

"Mu-Cheng. Yu-Hao. Quick, let us go in there. I am eager to see the diamond rings." Han Fei-Fei said

as she pushed her cousin and Sun Yu-Hao toward the entrance.

"How about I..." Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to say something. She could not bear to just leave Ye Fan

outside.

"Don't worry. You go in first and I will follow later,"Ye Fan said softly.

Han Fei-Fei burst out laughing when she heard this. "Screw you. You are still bragging. If I didn't know

any better, I might think you are some kind of big shot. This is a joke. You are just a poor weakling.

How are you going to 'follow later'?"

"Mu-Cheng, let us ignore him. He is just a moron."

Han Fei-Fei laughed mockingly and pulled her cousin into the hall.

Before Sun Yu-Hao went in, he turned to smile at Ye Fan. And then he whispered, "Look. This is the NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

gap between you and me."

"The moment I was born, I already had the right to be here.”

"But you? Thirty years? Forty years? Even if you spend your whole life trying, you will never earn the

right to walk in through that door."

Sun Yu-Hao laughed smugly and went after his two lady companions.

Only Ye Fan remained outside the door.

"Where did this poor bastard come from? Why don't you get lost?"

"This is not a place for poor people like you!" When he saw that Ye Fan was not going to move away

from the entrance, the security guard blew his top. Who would have thought that a lowly security guard

would have such a sense of superiority?

Meanwhile, the commotion at the entrance had attracted the attention of the guests.

"Young Master Shen, the Jianghai Jewelry Association is honored by the participation of Shen Jewelry

in this exhibition.”

"You have nothing to worry about, Young Master Shen. I have allocated the best spot to Shen Jewelry."

In front of the hall, a procession of well-suited persons strolled toward the entrance.

At the head of the procession was a young man in sunglasses, who was being surrounded by a crowd

of people.

"Mm, that is?”

Shen Fei was attracted by the commontion at the entrance, so he turned to take a look. And then he

thought that he had spotted a familiar figure, so he went to have a closer look.

The middle-aged man behind Shen Fei hurried to catch up.

When he saw the new arrivals, the security guard shivered and hurried forward to greet them.

"This is Young Master Shen," the middle-aged man introduced.

"Yes yes yes. Good afternoon, vice chairman. Good afternoon, Young Master Shen." The security

guard's attitude was servile, as he fawned over his betters.

"What is the matter? Why was it so noisy here? Can you take responsibility if you startle Young Master

Shen? Do you still want to work here as the chief of security?" The vice chairman flew into a rage

immediately.

The chief of security started panicking and hurriedly replied: "Yes yes yes. Please don't be mad, vice

chairman. Please don't be mad, Young Master Shen. I will chase away this trouble-maker right away."

"Aren't you going to get lost? Do I have to use force?" The chief of security roared angrily at Ye Fan.

"Mr... Mr. Chu?" Just then, Shen Fei saw the person standing in front of the entrance. The young

master of the Shen family was immediately startled and he pushed away the chief of security, who was

being a hindrance.

"Haha~"

"Mr. Chu, it's fate. To think that we would be able to meet in Jianghai." "Mr. Chu, are you doing well?”

When he saw Ye Fan, Shen Fei began a bout of solicitous greetings. And his sycophantic tone made it

seem like he was a child greeting his father.

The chief of security was dumbfounded, when he saw this side of Shen Fei.

Meanwhile, a crowd was looking on agape.

The person whom the vice chairman of Jianghai Jewelry Association had treated so respectfully, was

now acting so servilely in front of Ye Fan.

The chief of security was scared witless.

Shit!

Who have I offended?
