A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 13

Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled weakly. She didn't know why but, as she felt Ye Fan's embrace and listened to his voice, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt a sense of security. As if she was being hugged by the whole world.

"Ye Fan, I am sorry. For the past three years, you have been humiliated by my relatives."

"I am truly sorry."

"This time, I do not wish to get you involved with the Qiu family and suffer humiliation again."

All these years, everyone was picking on Ye Fan. They humiliated him and even her parents blamed him for being useless. And she was also painted with the same brush.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng knew. She and her family were the ones who had dragged him down.

Back then, it had been her decision to take in Ye Fan as a live-in son-in-law. If it weren't for her, perhaps this twentysomething young man would have had a happier life.

Qiu Mu-Cheng said her apology in a whisper. When Ye Fan heard her faint voice, he could almost feel his heart breaking.

He knew just how strong-minded she was. Qiu Mu-Cheng would only show that soft side of hers at her weakest moment.

As the rain continued to beat down on them, Ye Fan hugged his wife tightly and said, "Mu-Cheng, there's no need for you to apologize. You are the best gift I have received from heaven. The greatest honor of my life is being your husband."

Whoosh~

At this moment, a Benz sped past and its spinning wheels stirred up the rainwater. All of it splashed onto Ye Fan and he was soon covered with black muddy water.

The car stopped and, from within, Shen Fei's haughty laughter could be heard. "Yo, isn't this the useless live-in son-in-law? You are really a piece of trash. You actually let your own wife beg for mercy on your behalf."

"Now you know what fear is. Since you can't do the time, then you shouldn't have done the crime."

"I've already warned you. I am not the sort of person a useless trash like you can afford to offend."

Shen Fei looked at Ye Fan with mockery and disdain in his eyes.

How on earth did this useless piece of trash manage to marry a superb woman like Qiu Mu-Cheng?

"But, it's not like I can't let you off. If you let your wife service me tonight, I promise, things will return to normal at the Qiu family."

Shen Fei smiled coldy and looked impassionedly at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Of course, Shen Fei was just lying to Ye Fan. He had nothing to do with the going-ons happening to the Qiu family. At this time, the power of the Shen family rested in the hands of his father. Therefore, Shen Fei definitely did not have the power to topple a family on his own.

But it was unimportant to Shen Fei whether he had the power or not. As long as he could bed Qiu Mu-Cheng, he didn't care what happened to the Qiu family.

When he heard this, Ye Fan laughed.

"Eh?"

"You trashy live-in son-in-law, what are you laughing at? Who gave you the right to laugh?" Shen Fei was annoyed by Ye Fan's laughter so he retaliated with a scolding.

Ye Fan shook his head and replied, "Shen Fei, oh Shen Fei. I am laughing at you because although you have eyes, you cannot recognize true greatness when it's right in front of you!"

"You have no idea what kind of existence is standing right before you?" "And you have no idea exactly what kind of person you have offended today?"

"In my eyes, the Qiu family is insignificant. So is the Shen family. And even Li Er of Yunzhou is just a servant of mine!"

As the rain poured around them, Ye Fan stood tall and proud. His voice was loud, like a crack of thunder, and resounded through the horizon.

The crown prince of the Shen family, Shen Fei, was rooted to the spot instantly. At that moment, he could hear nothing else but Ye Fan's imperious declaration.

The Ye Fan before him now was like a tiger baring its proud fangs and claws after a long slumber. His aura was so overpowering that Shen Fei started trembling unconsciously. It was as if Ye Fan was no longer the useless live-in son-in-law of the Qiu family, but the heir of the world's most prominent family.

It wasn't just Shen Fei. Beside them, the pale and weak Qiu Mu-Cheng was also stunned by the sudden change in Ye Fan.

Was he still the same Ye Fan?

"Shit!"

"You moron-"

"You are an idiot!"

After a long stunned moment, Shen Fei composed himself and started berating Ye Fan.

"I have eyes but cannot recognize true greatness?"

"You are an idiot!"

But, Ye Fan had already left the hospital. Even if she wanted to stop him, she couldn't.

Ye Fan did not go far. He stopped at the hospital entrance and dialled Li Er's number.

When Li Er saw that the caller was Ye Fan, he was overjoyed. This was the first time Ye Fan had taken the initiative to call him. It was surely a good sign.

"It looks like Mister Chu is starting to accept me."

Li Er knew what Ye Fan meant to the Chu family and he knew just how powerful the Chu family was. So he was in a state of excitement, now that he had successfully latched on to Ye Fan. He answered the call right away and was properly solicitous. But because he was so excited, his voice trembled a little.

"Mister Chu, this is the first call I receive from you. I will always remember this moment."

"Mister Chu, since you are calling me, does this mean you are satisfied with my gift? Are you ready to meet me and have dinner with me?”

Li Er smiled joyfully. He was in a splendid mood.

"Screw you and your dinner!"

Ye Fan's words, however, hit Li Er like a slap on the head. And he was sent into a state of confusion right away.

"Mister Chu, you... you are?” Li Er stammered.

"Let me ask you. Does the Shen family in Yunzhou work for you?" Ye Fan's voice shook with barely suppressed anger.

Li Er was stunned for a moment, as he considered various things in his mind. Finally he nodded and said, "Mister Chu, what happened? Did someone from the Shen family offend you?”

"Stop wasting my time! Li Er, let me tell you. After tonight, I want the Shen family to vanish. Fail to do that and the consequence will be unbearable for you. I can give you power and I can also take it away."

Ye Fan's angry voice exploded in the room and Li Er's face turned as white as a sheet.

He didn't think Ye Fan was joking with him. The Chu family was perfectly capable of eliminating not just one, but tens and hundreds of Li Ers in a single night.

"Screw that bastard, Shen Jiu-Yi."

"Shui, call that bastard right away. How dare he offend Mister Chu. He must be tired of living!"

Li Er's screams of rage could be heard coming from the room.
