A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 187

The sudden appearance of so many men in suits at the mall entrance attracted a lot of attention.

"Oh my goodness, they're wearing KITON suits."

"One set costs more than $10,000!"

"Who are these people?"

"They look rather polite and reserved, I think they're probably someone's subordinates."

"If even subordinates get to wear such expensive suits, then who on earth is their boss?"

"Oh my goodness which incredible VIP is in the mall today?!"

When Jin Bao and his men came in, all the shoppers around them immediately started murmuring among themselves and looked at them furtively.

Even Han Wenxue frowned.

Even though a $10,000 suit wasn't anything to shout about since her husband owned several of such bespoke suits, the problem was that these men were clearly just subordinates.

If even a subordinate got to wear such fancy clothes, then how much wealthier could their boss possibly be?

She was even more curious when she saw the whole troop of men head towards Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian.

Were they from the Su family?

But as far as she knew, the Su family wasn't this rich.

Han Wenxue was even more shocked when she saw how respectful Jin Bao and his men were towards Qiu Mu-Cheng.

They were actually here to find that woman with a live-in husband?

What was going on?

All the other ladies were equally confounded and were trying to figure the situation out.

But actually even Qiu Mu-Cheng herself had no idea what on earth was happening.

"Is anything the matter?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng curiously.

"Miss Qiu, I have good news for you." Jin Bao had a wide smile on his face as he pulled out two tickets from his jacket. "Mis Qiu, we are the organizers of the MidAutumn Festival Auction and we would like to cordially invite Miss Qiu to come for the event on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. We hope that you could also bring your husband along."

Jin Bao held out the two intricately designed tickets at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

What?

Tickets to the Mid-Autumn Festival Auction?

Su Qian was shocked to hear this.

Even Han Wenxue was completely surprised by this turn of events.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were filled with bewilderment.

She couldn't believe this thing just dropped from the sky.

She was just on the verge of begging for the tickets when someone had come with tickets for her.

But after the initial surprise, Qiu Mu-Chen shook her head and said bitterly, "These tickets must be very expensive, right?"

"What?” Jin Bao was stunned for a few moments before realizing what Qiu Mu-Cheng meant. He laughed and said, "Miss Qiu, you're mistaken. We've giving these tickets to you. They're free of charge."

"If you and your husband could come for this auction, that would be our greatest honor. It's already bad enough that we didn't offer any remuneration for both of you to appear at the event, so how could we possibly charge you for coming?" replied Jin Bao slowly as Qiu Mu-Cheng and all the ladies around her were more and more surprised by his words.

Qiu Mu-Cheng started wondering if she was hearing things. She asked in disbelief, "Are you seriously just giving me tickets for free?"

"Of course," replied Jin Bao.

Just then, Han Wenxue snorted in disdain from behind them.

"Hoho. I was wondering who these people are. So they're just a bunch of scammers. Don't you know how expensive and rare those auction tickets are? Would the organizers give up the chance to earn money and give the tickets away? Besides, the tickets are supposed to be red in color, but he's holding onto black colored tickets, so they must be fakes. Can't you even make higher quality fakes? Such unprofessional swindlers!"

"I heard that she owns half of the malls in Yunzhou."

"Good god, why is such a boss around today?" "I can't believe I'm seeing her in person!” Everyone watching immediately went into an uproar when they saw her. Many were gasping in shock and there were some drooling over her voluptuous figure.

But Zhang Yuxin behaved like she didn't feel any of those admiring stares from the people around her. She stood and looked at the two tickets in Jin Bao's hands, then looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and said with a smile, "Young lady, he's not lying to you. These tickets are genuine."

What?

Now everyone was even more surprised to hear this.

Han Wenxue was sipping her tea smugly when she heard this. She widened her eyes in shock.

"That's impossible! Miss Zhang, you're kidding, right? You think the organizers would give away tickets that cost millions? Besides, the auction tickets are red while those are black. If even the color is different, how could they be real?" Han Wenxue refused to believe her.

Zhang Yuxin then looked at Han Wenxue and asked gently, "Could I see your tickets then?"

"Of course. My husband spent nearly $2 million to get these tickets. If her free tickets are real, then are you trying to say that mine are fake?" Han Wenxue was very confident.

She was sure that the tickets she spent money on weren't fakes.

After a moment, Zhang Yuxin returned Han Wenxue's tickets and said, "Yours are also real."

"See? My husband used his connections and spent a lot of money on these. How could they be fake? But that Miss Qiu isn't worth anything much. Even if the organizers were willing to give tickets away, why would they give them to you? Your tickets must be fake." Han Wenxue scoffed disdainfully at Qiu Mu-Cheng as she smiled gleefully.

But Zhang Yuxin's next words made everyone shudder again.

"I think this young lady over here is mistaken. Both your tickets are real. It's just that yours is a ticket to sit outside the actual auction hall, while the tickets for Miss Qiu are the even more valuable tickets to sit inside the hall. So of course, the color and the design would be different."

"As for your question about whether the organizers would give tickets away for free, I can tell you now that organizers do really give such tickets away. I suppose you don't know, but every ticket to enter the hall are free of charge. Only the tickets to sit outside the hall are sold at exorbitant prices."

"But of course, free things are often harder to get, and you might not be able to buy them even if you had the money. Just like these tickets to enter the hall - the organizers likely already had an invitation list and they would send their people out to personally deliver the tickets. Only people who are truly powerful and wealthy would receive such tickets," said Zhang Yuxin with a smile. Her smile was elegant and poised as she took out a ticket from

her handbag that was identical to the ones in Qiu Mu-Cheng's hands.

It was as if she was telling everybody that she was a truly powerful and wealthy person, and was certainly the embodiment of elegance and class.
