A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 192

"You still dare to laugh. It's all because of you! If you don't want to get a scolding, then stay sharp tomorrow and don't let my parents smell a rat," Qiu Mu-Cheng instructed Ye Fan sternly and went back to her room.

"Dear, I'm going to take a bath, don't forget to leave the door open for me!" Ye Fan shamelessly called out after her.

It was better if he hadn't said anything. After Ye Fan called out after her, Qiu Mu-Cheng slammed the door shut behind her and locked it.

"You can sleep in the study!"

Ye Fan laughed bitterly at himself.

Fine...

He wasn't even allowed to sleep on the floor of her bedroom anymore.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, the sun had barely risen when Su Qian drove over to Qiu Mu-

Cheng's house and honked loudly.

"Su Qian, what is wrong with you? Are you nuts?!" Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't believe how impatient this crazy woman was.

"Mu-Cheng, let's go! If we reach too late, we won't be able to get good seats! There'll be so many people tonight and I don't want to end up sitting right behind and see nothing just like the last time." Su Qian was clearly traumatized by what happened back at Mount Tai and ended up coming in such a hurry to get Qiu Mu-Cheng out of the house.

"Didn't you read the instructions on the ticket? They'll only open the doors after 9," said Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Exactly! So we've got to take this chance to get ourselves all dolled up! Choosing what to wear and putting on makeup is going to take us hours anyway!"

"I can't believe you," Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes twitched uncontrollably as she listened to Su Qian.

"Come on, Mu-Cheng, hurry up and come with me and help me choose what to wear? Your BFF has been single for so many years, so you've really got to help me out this time," Su Qian tugged at Qiu Mu-Cheng's arm and pleaded with her.

"Hmm? Mu-Cheng, what's this about getting a good seat? Where are the two of you off to so early in the morning?" Han Li woke up from the commotion and caught bits and pieces of their conversation.

"Hello Auntie! It's today's Mid-Autumn Festival Auc-UNGHHH!!”

Qiu Mu-Cheng cut Su Qian off by cupping a hand over her mouth and dragged her downstairs. "Mum, I can't talk now. I have to get ready for the meeting later and I'll be back very late tonight, don't worry about me."

"What are these two silly girls up to now..." Han Li just looked at the two ladies run off together and didn't know what was going on.

But she didn't give it much thought and went back to her room to sleep.

Qiu Mu-Cheng called Ye Fan to tell him to meet her at Shanshui Hall at 9AM.

The hours passed by quickly.

Ye Fan appeared punctually at Shanshui Hall at 9AM.

The entire street was already filled with people.

Every person here was someone with an impressive family or background of sorts. You could randomly pick someone out and he would be somebody well-known in Jiangdong.

But that only made sense. Ordinary folk would never have even heard of the event happening that very day, and those who had actually heard of it were fairly powerful people in Yunzhou. So the actual attendees were even more influential.

"Wen-Fei, it's so crowded!"

Of course. Do you know what's happening later today? Apparently even Mr Chu is going to appear tonight. And who's Mr Chu? He's the king of Jiangdong! That's enough to gather all the big shots from all over! And since it's a public holiday today, everyone is going to come and have a look."

There was a clingy couple standing not too faraway and gasping at the lively crowd in front of them.

Her cold demeanor and incomparable beauty made Qiu Mu-Cheng look like the brightest star in the sky.

"Oh my goodness, which rich man's wife is this?"

"She's so pretty!"

"She must be married to some wealthy man!"

Many people around her started murmuring among themselves.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng had really taken the trouble to dress up.

She was dressed simply but elegantly.

She looked both graceful and dignified.

And of course, Qiu Mu-Cheng had dressed herself up nicely not because she wanted to seduce Mr Chu like Su Qian. She was just trying to be dressed appropriately for the occasion.

After all, she was attending a rather important event, and the auction at night would be a bigger gathering of even more important people.

So of course Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't dare to dress too poorly at such an event, otherwise others might laugh at her.

"What rich man's wife? She's just the wife of a live-in husband. And this husband is a penniless and useless country bumpkin," Qiu Mu-Ying's snorts rang out from the crowd.

Qiu Mu-Ying then walked over and smiled, "Hello, Mu-Cheng. How does it feel to be an abandoned dog?"

"Nice dress, branded too. You must have spent a lot, right? You'd better be thriftier next time, otherwise you might run out of money to even buy rice. And why are you even here today? Everyone here is a member of high society, unlike you. Are you here to motivate yourself with the vast difference between yourself and everyone

else? And you even brought this useless husband of yours along. Don't you find him embarrassing?” Qiu Mu-Ying laughed at her with a mocking look in her eyes.
