A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 186

What?!

"Wenxue, are you serious? I have to go for this auction now. I have to get that mysterious item that Mr Chu is putting up!” declared Su Qian confidently as she clasped her hands together tightly.

Han Wenxue looked at her and just shook her head as she laughed. "Qianqian, you're thinking of this matter too simply. Everyone's eye is on this auction and all the big shots in Jiangdong are coming for this auction, so it's really going to be hard to get a ticket.”

"You have to be worth at least a few billion to even step into the auction. And that's not a guarantee either. Thankfully my husband is well connected and knows all the right people, so we managed to get two tickets long ago."

Han Wenxue even carefully took the two entry tickets out from her bag as she spoke and waved them in front of Su Qian.

"Wow! Your husband is amazing!

"He actually managed to get tickets?!"

"I'm so envious!"

All the ladies around Han Wenxue exclaimed politely and seemed so envious.

Su Qian's eyes were gleaming too, but she didn't try to fawn over Han Wenxue like the other ladies. Instead, she made a call to her older brother.

She knew that Han Wenxue was purposely showing off how powerful her husband was so that everyone would fawn over her and make her feel good. But Su Qian wasn't letting her have her way. If Han Wenxue could get tickets, she could get tickets too!

"Hey, I heard that Mr Chu is going for the Mid-Autumn Festival Auction. Get me some tickets? Just two will do," Su Qian pleaded with her brother.

"How could you say such things! I don't care, I want tickets!"

Su Qian threw a tantrum but didn't get her way. She hung up with a dejected look on her face.

The smile on Han Wenxue's face only grew brighter now. "Qianqian, I told you. Only the most powerful and wealthiest people get to go for this auction. Most people won't be able to."

Han Wenxue had said these words so arrogantly as if she was some princess.

"But...I have two more additional tickets here. So if you want one, let me know?"

"Really?!"

"Wenxue, give them to me! I want to widen my horizons too!"

"Wenxue, me too!!"

All the ladies around Han Wenxue started fighting over the tickets and they were clearly trying hard to butter up to Han Wenxue.

But Su Qian clenched her teeth in anger when she saw that snobbish and smug look on Han Wenxue's face.

Han Wenxue was clearly doing this on purpose. She wanted others to beg her.

Su Qian didn't care for her stupid tickets.

She wasn't going to beg anyone for such a thing.

She was going home to think of something. She was sure she could get her hands on a ticket.

Su Qian turned her nose up and was prepared to leave. She didn't want to stay here and watch how disgustingly conceited that Han Wenxue could get.

"Chengcheng, let's go."

"Chengcheng, what are you doing?!"

Just as Su Qian was about to call Qiu Mu-Cheng to leave with her, she realized that Qiu Mu-Cheng ignored her and walked towards Han Wenxue instead.

Qiu Mu-Cheng gritted her teeth as if she had made a very important decision. She looked at Han Wenxue and said in a low voice, "Hello, Mrs Lin. Could I have one of those auction tickets?”

Qiu Mu-Cheng bent her head even more now. Her face was completely pale and she felt a sense of helplessness wash over her.

"Enough! All of you have gone too far! How could you say such things! Mu-Cheng, ignore them. Let's go!" Su Qian couldn't stand watching her BFF get ridiculed like this. She got angry and yelled at them as she tugged at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But Han Wenxue continued to laugh coldly. "Qianqian, you're the daughter of the Su family, you know? Why aren't you taking care of your own reputation? I can't believe you're so close to this worthless woman.”

"Aren't you afraid that she'll bring you down and embarrass the Su family?"

"Who I make friends with is none of your business! Why do you care?!" Su Qian retorted coldly as she glared at her furiously.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just kept quiet, but she was really feeling terrible inside.

Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly realized how lowly and worthless she was compared to the rich and powerful.

They could get tickets so easily, while she couldn't buy one even if she gave everything she had.

Perhaps that was the difference between people.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was filled with disappointment.

"Qianqian, forget it, let's go." Qiu Mu-Cheng dejectedly turned around and was about to leave.

But just at this moment, several men in suits and leather shoes walked into the mall. After looking around for a bit, they started walking towards Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Hello, are you Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng?"

"Uh...yes I am. Why are you looking for me?" Qiu Mu-Cheng was puzzled and didn't know why these people were looking for her.

Jin Bao exhaled deeply in great relief when he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng nod. He excitedly said, "My goodness, Miss Qiu, we've finally found you. This was a tough mission!"
