A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 260

"You...weren't arrested?"

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was rather surprised to see Ye Fan.

She thought that Ren Han would take Ye Fan away, but he still turned up here.

Ye Fan immediately laughed bitterly. "You're too impatient and just ran out before hearing me out. I told you, it was a misunderstanding..."

Ye Fan then explained how he had been wrongly accused to Qiu Mu-Cheng very briefly.

Of course, Ye Fan had only simply said that the police had arrested the wrong person and they released him after they had caught the real perpetrator.

He didn't say anything about taking back the jadeite. That was a surprise for Qiu Mu-Cheng, so of course Ye Fan didn't mention it.

"That's it?" Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Ye Fan. This whole matter sounded a little too simple to be true.

Would the police really make a wrongful arrest?

But Ye Fan was truly standing here in one good piece, so Qiu Mu-Cheng had to believe him this time.

But even after she had cleared up the matter about Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng still looked downcast.

She turned around and leaned against the fence to focus her quiet gaze towards the vast surface of the lake.

The water sparkled brightly and the blue waters ebbed by.

Now and then, a gentle breeze would blow by. Qiu Mu-Cheng stood there under the night sky as her black dress accentuated her charming figure and her fringe continued to blow in the wind.

Many people glanced in wonder at the beautiful Qiu Mu-Cheng from time to time, but this gorgeous lady's face was now filled with great depression.

Life was really filled with many things that frustrated her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't say anything and Ye Fan just stood quietly next to her.

The two of them seemed to be strangely coordinated and didn't want to break the silence they were in right now.

In the end, it was Qiu Mu-Cheng who gave in first. She quietly said with a heavy heart, "Ye Fan, my mum wants to force us to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng's clear voice slowly flowed across Yunwu Lake.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was telling Ye Fan this because she wanted Ye Fan to give her a firm response.

It was tiring for her to face the pressure from her entire family all by herself after all. She needed Ye Fan to support her and be her strong backer.

But after a long time, Ye Fan still hadn't responded.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Qiu Mu-Cheng sounded a little angry as she turned to look at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had both hands in his pockets and his white short sleeved shirt was billowing in the wind. He laughed and replied quietly, "Why? Is it because of Sun Yu-Hao?"

"Yeah," Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded. "You know that my parents like Sun Yu-Hao very much and my uncle has been pushing for this to happen. So they keep pushing me to divorce you and marry Sun Yu-Hao."

Qiu Mu-Cheng sounded both bitter and frustrated.

"When?”

"When what?" Qiu Mu-Cheng was confused.

Ye Fan replied, "When does your mum want us to get a divorce?"

"After the holiday ends. She wants us to go tomorrow," replied Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Ye Fan nodded. "Alright. But I'm not free tomorrow, so let's fix it on the day after. We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get a divorce the day after tomorrow."

Ye Fan said these words slowly and the word 'divorce' came out of his mouth so calmly, as if it was a normal thing to say.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was completely frozen. She stared in disbelief at Ye Fan.

She had said these words because she wanted to know what Ye Fan's stand was. She wanted him to encourage her and she had hoped that he would stand by her to hold up against her parents and relatives.

She didn't expect Ye Fan to be able to say the word 'divorce' so easily.

Perhaps he never really cared that much about her in the first place.

Her tears couldn't stop and Qiu Mu-Cheng's vision was getting blurry.

She cried so miserably as she ran and disappeared quickly into the night.

Ye Fan was still standing at the fence. The cold wind blew the fallen leaves and also blew against the water in Yunwu Lake.

But Ye Fan's gaze was strangely determined as he watched Qiu Mu-Cheng run off.

"Mu-Cheng, I'm sorry but there are some things that I can't tell you yet. But after tomorrow, I'm going to make sure the person who's coveting you backs off! Nobody can take you away from me. Qiu Mu-Cheng, you can only be my woman..."

HUUUUU...

The wind blew hard and Ye Fan's low but strong words were blown by the wind far into the distance.

And just at this moment, a phone call came in.

"Mr Chu, the dinner has been booked for tomorrow at Haiyuan Restaurant's VIP room, 7PM. Mr Sun will be waiting in the room for your arrival," said Li Er very politely over the phone.

Ye Fan nodded and just took note of the details.

The night passed very quickly.

The next day, Su Qian drove Qiu Mu-Cheng home.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had gone running to look for her best friend Su Qian the night before after feeling so dejected.

"Chengcheng, I think your parents' suggestion isn't too bad. That Sun Yu-Hao is the Young Master of the Sun family in Jianghai and his background is even better than that Qiu Mu-Ying's husband. He's also the one who got a chance to have dinner with Mr Chu for more than $200 million too."

"So perhaps Sun Yu-Hao would seize this opportunity to push his business in Jianghai up by another level and become one of the wealthiest families in Jiangdong. If you marry him, then you'd become a rich man's wife and nobody in the Qiu family would dare to look down on you."
