A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 179 She's My Woman

When Qiu Mu-Cheng saw that everyone was attacking Ye Fan, she quickly cut in and said, "Fei-Fei, if

you continue being so rude, I will get angry.”

"No matter how bad Ye Fan is, it's not your place to say anything about him.”

Han Fei-Fei was upset that Qiu Mu-Cheng was angry with her again. "But Mu-Cheng, why are you only

fierce to me and not to him?"

"We didn't even say anything to him but he insisted on cutting in. We were all having a good chat with

Yu-Hao but he interrupted us and was even so rude to Yu-Hao. Isn't it right of us to scold him for doing

such a thing? Yu-Hao is our guest but he ended up getting so angry because of that country bumpkin!"

Han Fei-Fei retorted.

Qiu Mu-Cheng glared at Ye Fan and was clearly blaming him. She was blaming him for giving her

trouble.

She knew that Ye Fan and Sun Yu-Hao didn't see eye to eye, especially after their dispute in Jianghai.

But her family was around today, so he should have held himself back even in a conflict. Wasn't this

making it difficult for her?

But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't chide Ye Fan in public and was going to teach him a lesson only after they got

home.

As a woman, she felt that she had to respect her husband's pride in front of others.

"Young Master Sun, I'm sorry about it. He's always so straight talking like this, but he doesn't mean any

harm, so please don't be angry,” Qiu Mu-Cheng ended up apologizing on Ye Fan's behalf.

Sun Yu-Hao was a guest after all. If things became ugly, it would be hard for her to be accountable to

her uncle too.

"Forget it. Since Mu-Cheng has pleaded on his behalf, then I won't bother myself with someone of his

level. But Ye Fan, let me remind you about one thing. It's important to know who you are and where

you stand in this world. Otherwise, you might offend someone else next time and not just get yourself

into trouble, but you might also drag Mu-Cheng down with you. That would be terrible," said Sun Yu-

Hao coldly. His arrogant voice was filled with disdain.

"Yu-Hao, you're so magnanimous! Come come, let's just focus on eating the good food! Why bother

ourselves with that useless fellow?" Han Li motioned to everyone to continue eating. After some time,

she noticed that there wasn't enough food, so she called a waiter over.

Peng Zhen-Ying had kept an eye on this table all this time. Since there was now a chance to get close

to Ye Fan, he wasn't giving up this opportunity.

"Manager, what specialties does your restaurant serve?" asked Han Li.

"The last few pages are all our specialties. We have Kobe beef from Japan, premium steaks supplied

by Michelin, and there's also those that we've specially picked from free range farms in Europe..." Peng

Zhen-Ying couldn't stop recommending the dishes to Han Li.

"My goodness, such high class stuff! If that's the case, then give us one of everything on this page.”

Han Li had never eaten such an expensive meal before, so she was going to make sure she ate her fill.

Her new son-in-law was going to pay anyway.

"Mum, why did you order so much? We can't finish so much. You could just order a few side dishes,”

Qiu Mu-Cheng tried to advise her mother otherwise. She was worried that the final bill would be too

expensive.

Sun Yu-Hao smiled, "Mu-Cheng, since our mother wants to eat, then let her be. It's alright."

"Look at this daughter of mine, even my son-in-law is more filial than she is! Manager, just go according

to what I said, one of everything on this page. Also, since Mr Sun is here, how could you just give us

one bottle? You've got to at least give us two bottles. Good things come in pairs!”

"This...well..." Peng Zhen-Ying hesitated for a while and finally clenched his teeth as he decided to just

give it his all. "You're right. Since Young Sir has graced our restaurant with his presence, then one

bottle of wine isn't enough. I still have another bottle that I've kept for ten years now, so I'll bring it out in

a minute."

Peng Zhen-Ying's eyes remained on Ye Fan to tell Ye Fan that he was bringing the wine because of

him and hoped that Ye Fan would remember him for this, otherwise he would have given away his best

wine for nothing.

"Also, Manager, since we've ordered so much and Mr Sun has actually come to your restaurant, then

even if you don't write our bill off, you should give us 50% or 70% off the bill. That's alright with you,

isn't it?" Han Li was obviously ripping Peng Zhen-Ying off and happily taking advantage of him.

But Peng Zhen-Ying was quite sporting and replied, "Don't worry, as long as Young Sir is around, I will

make sure that the bill is satisfactory." "Haha! That's great, that's great!" Han Li was really over the

moon now. After Peng Zhen-Ying left the table, she started praising Sun Yu-Hao again and couldn't

stop putting him on a pedestal.

"Come, let's try this precious bottle of Maotai. This sort of wine is really priceless and you can't buy it

even if you've got the money. I suppose it'll only appear at an auction...” Han Li poured everyone a

glass of the wine while she talked, except for Ye Fan.

"Mum, what about Ye Fan's glass?" Qiu Mu-Cheng reminded her.

"He doesn't drink. He can just have water. This is a very expensive bottle of Maotai! Isn't it a waste to

let a country bumpkin like him drink it?" Han Li didn't even glance at Ye Fan and told the rest to go

ahead and drink.

"Mu-Cheng, drink it down! How could you just drink a small sip? Are you unhappy that your uncle is

here?” Han Hai continued to egg Qiu Mu-Cheng on.

Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't refuse and had no choice but to drink the glass down.

But the moment she put it down, Sun Yu-Hao gave her a toast.

"Mu-Cheng, since you gave me a toast earlier, I'm returning the toast. It would be rude of me not to

return it," Sun Yu-Hao said with a smile. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Come on, Mu-Cheng, have a drink with Yu-Hao," Han Li and the rest egged her on.

Qiu Mu-Chen wanted to refuse but everyone was egging her on. She didn't want to dampen everyone's

spirits, so she just said, "Alright, but this is really the last glass."

But just when Qiu Mu-Cheng lifted her glass and was about to gulp it down against her own wishes, a

hand reached out and took the glass from Qiu Mu-Cheng's hand.

"Young Master Sun, I'll drink this glass for her. Cheers.”

Ye Fan smiled faintly and drank the whole glass down as Qiu Mu-Cheng stared in horror at him.

Sun Yu-Hao immediately started frowning.

Han Hai saw that Ye Fan was ruining their plans and immediately blew his top. "Ye Fan! Who do you

think you are! You think you're worthy to drink this glass for Mu-Cheng?"

"Exactly! You're just a bum! I'm her mother and I didn't even drink it for her. Who do you think you are!

How dare you think that you can drink it on behalf of my daughter?!"

Ye Fan just laughed when he heard them yell at him. His face was calm as he explained slowly and

clearly, "There's no other reason. It's just because Qiu Mu-Cheng is MY woman."

"And because of that, I have the right to drink this glass on her behalf."

Ye Fan didn't say these words very loudly, but his low voice made everyone's heart tremble.

It was as if he was a king standing at the top of his castle and declaring his might to everyone in the

world.

Ever since Sun Yu-Hao came, Han Li kept calling him her son-in-law and even said he was 'our Yu-

Hao', and even Sun Yu-Hao started calling Han Li 'Mum'.

Did they think that Ye Fan was a pushover? Did they really think Ye Fan was a useless bum who didn't

dare to speak up and could only pretend to have heard nothing?

If not for Qiu Mu-Cheng and the fact that these people were her relatives, Ye Fan would have fallen out

with them a long time ago.

Ye Fan was clearly telling them right now whose wife Qiu Mu-Cheng was, and who was truly her man.
