A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 185 The Mistress

"Ye Fan, what did you say?! What do you mean by that! Are you looking down on me? Can't I dream?!" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ye Fan's reaction really angered Su Qian.

Su Qian was so angry that she was trembling. Her face was all red and she continued to shout angrily

at him.

"You're just a penniless and worthless live-in son-in-law! You have no right to laugh at me! Just you

wait! One day, I'll marry Mr Chu and hold his hand as we get back at you! ARGH! It makes me so

angry! Mu-Cheng! Watch that husband of yours!" Su Qian was so annoyed as she spoke and she

looked like a cat whose fur was all standing on end.

She never thought that a bumbling villager like Ye Fan would dare to laugh at her dreams.

Ye Fan realized that she misunderstood him and quickly tried to explain himself, "You're mistaken,

that's not what I meant." "Then what did you mean? When I said I wanted to marry Mr Chu, your

reaction was so violent. If you're not looking down on me and not thinking that Mr Chu would never fall

for me, then what?!” Su Qian roared fiercely at Ye Fan. Her face was all red from being angry.

Ye Fan had a bitter look on his face and figured that he must have hit a sore spot, so he quickly tried to

sound nice, "Miss Su, you've really misunderstood me. It's not that I think you're not worthy of Mr Chu,

but Mr Chu isn't worthy of you."

"You're so young and beautiful, while that Mr Chu might be some middle aged man. How could

someone so old be worthy of such a youthful and pretty young lady like yourself?”

Ye Fan was really going all out on an attempt to kill off Su Qian's obsession with him, and even started

to say terrible things about himself.

But Su Qian continued to look as determined as ever. "And so what if he's old?"

"Older men are more charming and they know how to dote on women. I like them old! Why is that any

of your business?!"

"I...I..." Ye Fan was taken aback by this reaction and wanted to go on.

"What! Just shut up! Hearing you talk makes me angry!" Su Qian obviously disliked Ye Fan even more

now and couldn't even stand the sight of him.

"I'm so annoyed, I don't want to shop anymore. Mu-Cheng, let's go get ourselves some drinks."

After what Ye Fan said, Su Qian lost interest in shopping. After paying for her purchases, they went to

a cafe for some drinks.

"Qianqian? You're here to shop too? What a coincidence! Come and sit with us!"

Su Qian didn't expect to see some women with a pile of shopping bags enjoying coffee in the cafe she

just set foot into.

These women were all beautifully made up and dressed in branded clothing from head to toe. They

were clearly either rich men's daughters or rich men's wives.

Besides that, Ye Fan also realized that they had bought as much as Su Qian or more, and they even

had an assistant with them just to carry their shopping bags.

"Why, hello Mrs Lin. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here.”

Su Qian gave a friendly smile, but her heart had sunk.

Why did she run into them here?

"Qianqian, are they your relatives?" Qiu Mu-Cheng asked as she looked at how these ladies seemed to

be very wealthy.

Su Qian whispered, "They're not my relatives. They're business partners of my dad and my brother.

The one talking to me is Han Wenxue. She looks pretty young, doesn't she? She's probably around our

age. But she's really something. She became a mistress of some big company's CEO and eventually

married him even though he's 50 or 60 already. She always accompanies her husband to eat with my

dad and I got to know her because my dad dragged me along the last time they ate together."

"They're a bunch of materialistic and scheming women, so you'd better watch out."

Su Qian clearly didn't like them, especially those who married someone twice her age for the sake of

money like Han Wenxue. She was even a mistress who wrecked someone else's marriage. But since

she was considered a friend of her father's, she couldn't be rude either.

"Qianqian, come over and sit with us. And don't call me Mrs Lin, it makes us sound like we're

strangers. Just call me Wenxue," said Han Wenxue as she waved them over to sit.

But when she saw Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan standing behind Su Qian, she laughed and asked,

"Qianqian, you're not bad. One assistant is so pretty, while your other assistant is pretty cute even

though he isn't dressed very well. He's pleasant looking"

"Young man, how much does your boss pay you every month? I'll pay you double if you work for me,"

Han Wenxue asked Ye Fan cheekily.

Su Qian immediately replied awkwardly, "Wenxue, you're mistaken. They're not my subordinates. This

is my best friend, Qiu Mu-Cheng, and he's her husband."

"Qiu Mu-Cheng?" Han Wenxue raised an eyebrow as if she had heard of this name before. Then she

burst out laughing. "Don't tell me she's the third daughter of the Qiu family? She married some useless

bum three years ago. The news of her getting a live-in husband was big news in Yunzhou back then.

Don't tell me that's really you?"

"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm actually seeing you for the first time today after hearing so much

about you. Miss Qiu, come over and have a seat. Fang, get Miss Qiu a cup of coffee." Han Wenxue

sounded friendly, but it didn't take a genius to know that Han Wenxue was being sarcastic and was

mocking Qiu Mu-Cheng.

She looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng like she was looking at a clown.

Qiu Mu-Cheng could sense everyone's odd gaze, so she lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Su Qian quickly tried to change the topic to make it less awkward for her BFF.

"Wenxue, your necklace is really pretty. How much did it cost?"

"This? Is it really nice? If you like it, you can have it. It wasn't very expensive, just a few hundred

thousand," Han Wenxue spoke calmly to show off as she chatted with the other ladies at the table.

But women generally talked about nothing else but clothes, jewelry and bags. And of course, men.

"Qianqian, have you heard about a Mr Chu who became famous in Jiangdong recently?"

"I heard that he suddenly appeared a few days ago and became the king of Jiangdong overnight. Even

Yunzhou's Li Er is filled with respect for him," Han Wenxue exclaimed.

Su Qian immediately perked up at this topic. "Wow, Wenxue, you know about Mr Chu too?”

"I was at that battle that made Mr Chu famous! Mr Chu was so cool! It was as if he just drew a line

across the sky and sent that bad guy flying! It was like watching a movie!"

Su Qian and Han Wenxue were suddenly like long lost friends and couldn't stop talking about this.

They were filled with so much excitement and were so animated, they were like two teenage fangirls.

Ye Fan felt his eyelid twitch nonstop.

He decided that it was better to keep his identity a secret after all. He didn't want to be harassed by

women like Su Qian.

"What? You mean Mr Chu might appear at the Mid-Autumn Festival Auction? And it's held in Yunzhou?

OH MY GAAAAWDD. Are you serious? So I might be able to finally see Mr Chu in person?!" Su Qian

was going crazy with excitement.

Han Wenxue nodded with a smile. Even her voice carried a tinge of arrogance and smugness because

she thought she was very well informed. "That's right."

"On top of that, I know that Mr Chu is going to put up something mysterious for the auction too."
