A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 115

Last night, Yunjing Hotel had called the police after determining that the Qius were not able to pay off their three-million-yuan dinner bill. And so, all the Qius present had been arrested and taken to the police station.

The Shens wielded considerable clout in Yunzhou, and they were favorites of Master Li Er. So, unsurprisingly, they had their people in the police station.

The officer in charge of the case informed the Qius that, if they could not come up with the money to pay off their tab, they would have to go to prison.

The Qius were thrown into a state of panic. Since Chu Wen-Fei was unwilling to foot the bill, they had no choice but to ask Master Qiu for help.

"You embarrassing fools! How did you get arrested just for eating dinner?"

"Tell me. How much do you owe them? I will send the money over." "Thanks to you people, I have completely lost face this time," said Master Qiu as he returned to his room to get the money. He was so mad that he could not help trembling with anger.

"What?"

"Three million!" Master Qiu was dumbstruck when he heard the number. And his face turned an ugly shade of green as an intense rage overwhelmed him.

"Your dinner actually cost three million?"

"You pigs! Tell me, are you actually pigs?"

"No, even pigs are not as greedy as you bastards!"

"How dare you blame Wen-Fei for not footing the bill? Is he an idiot? Why would he spend three million on your dinner?"

"If I were him, I wouldn't squander all that money on you either!"

"You embarrassing fools! Why don't you just stay in there? I hope they keep you in prison for a few years."

"This is the result of your stupidity. Not only did you try to sucker Wen-Fei, you are now trying to sucker me as well. You want me to pay off your tab?"

"You bastards can just keep on dreaming!"

Master Qiu's face twitched uncontrollably as rage overwhelmed him.

He had not expected that a wise person like him would end up with such useless offsprings!

"Just because he is rich, you kept taking advantage of him."

"And now he is tired of you people freeloading off him, so he is abandoning all of you. Serve you right!"

"Not only did you bastards fail to pay for your dinner, but you also got yourselves arrested. How did our family end up with such embarrassing fools like you bastards?"

Within the spacious family house, Master Qiu was trembling with rage. He felt that his sons had just ruined his lifetime of accumulated prestige.

In the end, Master Qiu chose not to help his sons. It would have been fine if it was just a small amount. However, the amount owed was three million. He would have to sell the family house to raise that much money, but he was not willing to go that far for his scoundrel sons.

Ye Fan and and his wife knew nothing about what was going on with the Qius. He did know that the Qius had overindulged and spent too much money at the hotel last night. But he did not know that his foolish relatives had declined to pay up after being presented with their huge dinner bill. Nor did he know anything about their subsequent arrest.

But if Qiu Mu-Cheng's parents found out about this, they would probably laugh till they cried.

The whole incident smacked of poetic justice!

At this moment, Ye Fan was still in Xu Lei's car. They were on their way to Ye Fan's new residence.

Inside the vehicle, Ye Fan did not speak a single word. He just sat quietly in the back seat, with his eyes half closed. It looked like he was taking a nap. But, suddenly, Xu Lei decided to say something to break the silence.

"Mr. Chu, do you have time to spare? How about we go for a walk around Yunwu Lake? We can go to your house in the evening. The scenery at the lake is spectacular."

"Forget it. I don't have the time to spare. Let's go straight to my house," Ye Fan replied.

Xu Lei gave an affirmative grunt, but she looked a little disappointed.

Just then, Ye Fan's phone rang. The caller was his wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Ye Fan answered the call and his wife's nonchalant voice rang out from the phone. "Are you gone yet? Do you have time to spare? If you do, could you come to the company?"

He broke out into a smile right away, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes! I have time to spare. I do. I am going over now.”

When Xu Lei heard this, she got so worked up that she almost had a stroke.

This fellow. He treats me so coldly, but he is so passionate toward Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Didn't you say you have no time to spare?”

"Mm." Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded when she saw Ye Fan. "This is a cosmetic product my friend bought overseas. It is high moisturizing, high nutrition and anti-aging. Very suitable for women of your mother's age. Bring this with you as well."

Although her tone was kind of indifferent, Ye Fan could not help feeling a little touched.

Although this wife of his looked a bit cold, but she had a warm heart.

But before Ye Fan could thank his wife, the pretty girl standing beside Qiu Mu-Cheng exclaimed in shock: "Mu-Cheng, is he the man who 'married' into your family?"

"Damn! How could you give him the present I bought for your mother?"

"He is just a worthless live-in son-in-law!"

"What is going through your head? Are you crazy?"

"That is a high-class cosmetic product."

"I remember his family lives in the countryside. Do you think a country bumpkin would have any use for high-class cosmetic products? Isn't it a waste to give them something like that?"

Su Qian was shocked.

To think that not only had her BFF wasted the morning waiting for a good-for-nothing like Ye Fan, but she was also giving him the expensive cosmetics to take home to the countryside.

For the past few years, Su Qian had been keeping in touch with Qiu Mu-Cheng while staying abroad. So she knew about the latter's marriage to Ye Fan.

Today was Su Qian's first meeting with Ye Fan, but that did not stop her from forming a bad opinion of him.

After all, Qiu Mu-Cheng was a woman with looks and talents, but she had ended up marrying a good-for-nothing loser. Su Qian felt that the situation was most unfair to her BFF.

"Qian-Qian, stop bad-mouthing him. Ye Fan is not as bad as you think."

"Whoa, why are you defending him? What's wrong with you? Didn't you tell me that you hated him? Don't tell me he has already conquered you?”

"Good heavens~" Su Qian screamed in disbelief.

"What are you talking about?" Qiu Mu-Cheng glared at her BFF and warned her not to shoot her mouth off. Afterward, she told Ye Fan to hurry up and leave, in case he missed the train.
