A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 248

All parents wanted the best for their children.

Which father didn't wish for his son to become a dragon? Which mother didn't wish for her daughter to turn into a phoenix?

Shen Jiu-Yi was no exception.

Even though he was strict and critical of Shen Fei most of the time and even scolded and hit him, that was out of frustration whenever he saw that Shen Fei might not become successful.

He just wanted his son to succeed in life.

He just wanted others to praise him for raising a good son.

Shen Jiu-Yi had become successful, and now he hoped that Shen Fei could bring glory to the Shen family and it would look better on Shen Jiu-Yi as his father.

But Shen Fei had gotten himself into a lot of trouble before this and Shen Jiu-Yi had nearly given up on his son, since he didn't seem to be able to succeed. Now that Shen Fei had made such a valuable contribution to the company, nobody was happier than Shen Jiu-Yi.

First thing the next morning, Shen Jiu-Yi called all the shareholders together to discuss what to do with the imperial jade, as well as to nominate Shen Fei as a shareholder.

Of course, this is a story for another day.

After Ye Fan passed the jadeite to Shen Fei to settle it, he went home.

But just when he reached the gate of the estate, he saw a beautiful and slim figure standing under the streetlights all by herself. The dim light from the streetlights was enough for Ye Fan to notice that her eyes were slightly red and there were heartbreaking tears on her cheeks.

She seemed to be crying.

Ye Fan felt his heart ache immediately. He walked over and didn't ask her anything.

He just gently said, "Mu-Cheng, let's go

home."

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked up and her pretty eyes were still sparkling from her tears. She was filled with such guilt and pain. "Ye Fan, I'm sorry but I couldn't get that jadeite back."

"They said that they had been robbed on the way home."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's voice trembled and she didn't dare to face Ye Fan.

After all, her family was guilty of doing all this and she was really feeling very guilty and felt that she had let Ye Fan down.

Something worth as much as $200 million was gone just like that.

Qiu Mu-Cheng knew what that meant to Ye Fan.

With this jadeite, Ye Fan could live a much better life. Nobody would look down on him or despise him anymore.

But now everything was ruined. Everything had been ruined by her family, the Qius.

The more Qiu Mu-Cheng thought about it, the guiltier and the more upset she became.

These relatives had not just made herself suffer, but now Ye Fan had to be bullied along with her.

But after hearing this, Ye Fan just laughed quietly and he continued to look calm. "Mu-Cheng, it's alright. Perhaps that's my fate after all. Becoming a millionaire overnight is not my destiny."

"Maybe it's a blessing in disguise? I have to thank Uncle Guang and the rest for this, really. If they hadn't taken the jadeite, then the ones who would get robbed would probably be us. So if you look at it this way, we actually managed to escape danger thanks to them, don't you think so?” Ye Fan's calm and nonchalant laughter made Qiu Mu-Cheng freeze for a moment.

Once she started thinking down this path, she couldn't stop. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at all.

"This won't do. This has got to do with my marital bliss in the future, so I have to check this."

Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and got up with a start. She quickly applied some makeup, pulled a white blouse from the closet and paired it with a black short skirt with lace trimmings. She wore an expensive pair of stockings over her fair legs and finally pulled out that precious pair of high heels with red soles that she kept away so preciously.

Her feet were exposed with red toenails, while the blouse and skirt pairing made her look like she was wearing a uniform. Her makeup was exquisite, and her body gave off an enchanting floral fragrance. Qiu Mu-Cheng was so mesmerizing under the moonlight.

After taking the trouble to get dressed up, Qiu Mu-Cheng walked out and knocked the study door quietly.

"Hmm? Who is it?" The study lights were still on as Ye Fan was still awake. He was puzzled by the knock on his door. Who could be knocking on his door at his hour?

"Ye Fan, it's me. I think I saw a rat and I'm scared. Could you accompany me for a while?" Qiu Mu-Cheng's gentle voice came in from outside the room and she sounded a little coquettish.

Qiu Mu-Cheng hardly spoke like that to Ye Fan and he instantly frowned.

What was this woman up to?

But since she had already said so, Ye Fan couldn't just ignore his wife and he had to go over to catch that rat. But the moment Ye Fan opened the door and saw what Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like, he was completely stunned and his eyes widened.

"M-Mu-Cheng, what...what's going on?"

"Why are you dressed like this so late at night?" Ye Fan's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he gulped a large mouthful of saliva. Even his voice was trembling.

"Why, don't I look nice like that?" Qiu Mu-Cheng leaned against the door and the look in her eyes was as gentle as water. She posed in such a way that it accentuated her figure and looked so seductive that Ye Fan's eyes twitched and there was a howl of terrible pain in his heart.

Looking like this in the middle of the night would get her into trouble!
