A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 90 The First Guests to Arrive at Dongyang Town

After she had finished speaking, Qiu Mu-Cheng stood up and made her way toward the hall's exit,

without waiting for her grandmother's reply.

"Mu-Cheng, stop fooling around!"

"Come back~"

Qiu Mu-Cheng's action caused Han Hai to glare and yell at her.

But she continued as if she had not heard her uncle. The guests caught a flash of red lips, a glimpse of

dark soulful eyes and a flutter of dress. Just like that, Qiu Mu-Cheng disregarded the stares of the

crowd and walked toward where Ye Fan was sitting. And then she sat down in the courtyard with him.

"What on earth is she doing?"

"We are helping her find a new husband out of the kindness of our hearts. But not only is she not

grateful, she is actually giving us attitude?"

Mom, look at your granddaughter!'

Han Yue was trembling with rage. She had not expected Qiu Mu-Cheng to be so blunt in her rejection.

Out of the kindness of their hearts, her family had introduced a prospective marriage partner to her. So

how could she just turn down the marriage without even meeting the prospective groom first?

To add insult to injury, Qiu Mu-Cheng had rejected them in the presence of so many people. That,

undoubtedly, was a slap in the face of Han Yue and her family. Therefore, it was only natural that they

felt unhappy about the slight.

Han Yue had no scruples about complaining to her mother, but Mo Wen-Xuan chose to keep his peace.

However, his face looked cold and sombre.

Clearly, he was feeling unhappy about the slight Qiu Mu-Cheng had shown him earlier.

Just then, Han Fei-Fei spoke up softly to defend Qiu Mu-Cheng. "But auntie, you can't blame Mu-

Cheng for getting angry. The thing is, the man you were

recommending to her..."

But before Han Fei-Fei could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an angry Han Yue. "What? What

is wrong with Liu?"

"He is from a working family. He has a house and a job. And his salary is ten thousand per month. So

tell me, what is wrong with him? Isn't he much better than that live-in son-in-law?"

"How dare she look down on him? She herself has married a useless piece of trash, so do you think

she has the right to look down on Liu?"

"Liu does not dare to disobey Wen-Xuan, because he is Wen-Xuan's employee. If it weren't for that, Liu

will probably look down on her and turn down the marriage."

It doesn't pay to be a good guy. She is being ungrateful even though she is getting the better end of the

deal. What an ungrateful wretch."

Han Yue was in the throes of rage and her words were interspersed with curses.

Meanwhile, her daughter was trying to placate her. "Enough already, mom? Since Mu-Cheng is being

ungrateful, then let us not worry about her.”

"If she is happy to stay with a piece of trash, then let her. Since she is going to be the one to suffer the

consequences."

"Heaven helps those who help themselves. Mu-Cheng is the sort of person who can't tell good from

bad and enjoys wallowing in degeneration. You just can't help a person like that."

"Anyway, she is going to suffer in the future."

Han Yu smiled coldly and felt nothing but derision toward her cousin.

"She is not a real princess but she sure acts like one. Our driver, Liu, is an honest and good man. He is

definitely more than worthy of her."

"He is not looking down on her, so how dare she do that to him?"

"Is she even in a position to look down on him?"

Han Yu was also beside herself with rage. Earlier, she had told their driver, via a text message, to come

over tonight and have a matchmaking meeting with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng had turned down the marriage without giving it a second thought.

"Fine, there is no pleasing everybody?"

"What am I going to tell Liu when he comes tonight?"

Han Yu was also griping away.

"She is unworldly and can't tell good from bad. She is so useless that nothing we do can help her." Mo

Wen-Xuan snorted coldly and his words expressed his unhappiness with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"In this matter, Mu-Cheng is the one at fault. She really has no manners. Yu. Wen-Xuan. Don't be

angry. After the banquet, I will teach her a lesson. Don't worry. She will listen to what I say." Madam

Han said as she tried to placate Han Yue and her family.

After she had finished speaking, Madam Han looked at the retreating back of Qiu Mu-Cheng and

snorted angrily. "This Qiu Mu-Cheng has been overly pampered. Her behavior is too outrageous. She

doesn't care who she offends."

"Grandmother, we can't blame Mu-Cheng. That driver is just not good enough for her. And he is a

divorcee with a kid. He can't be compared to Yu-Hao, the crown prince of Baiyi Group. Yu-Hao is young

and capable. He has also fallen in love with Mu-Cheng at first sight. And Mu-Cheng is so beautiful. No

matter what, she can't marry somebody who is just a driver—" Meanwhile, Han Fei-Fei continued to

defend her favorite cousin. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She was still young and so she did not have any misgivings about what she says.

"Fei-Fei, stop talking nonsense!" Han Hai glared at his daughter and hinted at her to shut up.

But it was already too late. Han Yu blew her top and said, "Fine. We are just busybodies showing our

one-sided concern for someone else, alright?"

"What kind of a person is she? Mu-Cheng is so beautiful that she is probably even worthy of marrying

the mayor's son. Our driver is too low in status and unworthy of Mu-Cheng."

"Yu, don't listen to Fei-Fei's nonsense," Han Hai hurriedly stepped in to mediate. His son would need

the help of Mo Wen-Xuan's family to get promoted, so Han Hai dared not offend Han Yu.

Afterward, Han Hai made his daughter apologize and nobody brought up the matter again.

Presently, the sun was high up in the sky. It was almost noon.

Based on past experience, the first batch of guests should be arriving around this time.

At this moment, a red carpet had been unrolled at the entrance to the Han's family house. Han Hai and

Han Yue were sitting inside the hall and waiting quietly for their respective guests to arrive.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were sitting quietly in the courtyard.

Looking at them, Han Yu and her family were filled with derision for the couple.

"Mu-Cheng, Mu-Cheng. You are too useless. How could you wallow in degeneration and sit next to a

piece of trash like him?”

"Our guests will be arriving soon, and our tables will be filled. But you and your husband will be sitting

out there all by yourselves. Let us see how you are going to save yourself from the embarrassment."

"Let us see if you can still maintain that proud demeanor of yours, after you have been utterly

humiliated!"

Han Yu laughed smugly, and a smile was plastered wantonly across her heavily made-up face.

Her mother, Han Yue, was also looking smug. When she turned to look at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng,

she felt nothing but disdain and ridicule for the couple.

More and more, Han Yue and her family were looking forward to what would happen next.

"He, I heard you have been working hard as the mayor to make the town prosperous. And you have

produced results. I think, this time, you will be receiving more guests than our Wen-Xuan. Perhaps

even the county head will show up to support you." In the past, Han Hai's guests had always arrived

first. After all, Han Hai and his family were living in Jianghai, so their guests had less distance to travel.

But Han He smiled humbly and said, "Auntie, surely you jest. I am still inexperienced so I do not have

that much clout. There is no way I can compare to Wen-Xuan."

Mo Wen-Xuan was the young master of the Mo family and, some years ago, he had already been

helping his father with the family business.

His status as the young master of the Mo family alone was enough to attract a horde of followers. Last

year, the number of Mo Wen-Xuan's supporters who had shown up to celebrate Madam Han's birthday

was enough to fill two tables. This year, because Mo Wen-Xuan was looking certain to inherit his

family's business, it was expected that a larger number of guests would show up to support him. The

others were thinking that, rather than just filling up two tables, this time his guests would spill out of the

hall and into the doorway.

"Haha~"

Han Yue laughed proudly. She was basking in the reflected glory of her son-in-law.

Han Yu's eyes were filled with pride, as she waited eagerly for the banquet to begin.

Meanwhile, Mo Wen-Xuan continued to look composed, but the haughty smile on his lips made him

look like a show-off.

"Hahaha~"

"Madam Han, I have come to wish you a happy birthday~"

Finally, while the Hans were still chatting among themselves, the first batch of guests had already

arrived outside the Han's family house.
