A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 284

The moment she saw Ye Fan, Yang Qian was stunned.

She almost shouted involuntarily.

How could she forget the time when Ye Fan got so angry that he kicked the restaurant manager at a restaurant in Yunzhou's eastern suburbs? He even disregarded the owner, Xu Bao, the man that dominated east Yunzhou. Even Master Li Er of Yunzhou had to invite him personally in the end.

Till now, Yang Qian couldn't forget the way dozens of burly men in suits had bowed to him respectfully and called Ye Fan, Mr Chu.

The restaurant was extremely quiet at that time so the impressive scene had shocked many on the spot.

A few days ago, Yang Qian went by the restaurant and noticed a change in his name.

Shengtian Restaurant was now closed.

Even Xu Bao disappeared without a trace despite wielding so much power before.

She heard Master Li Er dismissed him from his position and nobody knew whether he was alive even.

So just because he had offended Ye Fan, one of Master Li Er's most valued associates fell from power. It was evident that Ye Fan was someone of tremendously high status and power.

Even Master Li Er flattered him so much.

So Yang Qian concluded that the man whom Su Qian kept calling a country bumpkin was, in fact, someone who was secretly hiding his true identity!

But when she saw Ye Fan attending the art exhibition alone with Su Qian, Yang Qian's heart sank.

Did Su Qian stay close to him because she already knew Ye Fan's true identity? Was she secretly undermining Qiu Mu-Cheng and already dating Ye Fan?

The thought of it made Yang Qian regret.

She regretted not coming up with that first.

At that time, she thought that since Ye Fan was married, there was probably no chance even if she threw herself at him.

But on second thought, she was foolish then!

It was only a marriage. They could always get divorced.

Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't have any children anyway.

If she had quickly taken the chance to profess her love to Ye Fan back then, her charisma and beauty, might have won him over, and the one visiting this art exhibition with him would be her and not Su Qian.

"One bad decision has made me lose this game and now Su Qian got the chance to swoop in."

A wave of remorse swept over Yang Qian. She felt as though she missed the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of her life.

"Mr Chu? What Mr Chu? Qianny, who are you calling?" asked Su Qian quizzically when she heard what Yang Qian said.

Yang Qian was stunned, "Isn't your boyfriend Mr Chu?"

"Nonsense! What boyfriend? He's not my boyfriend at all! He's just a poor country bumpkin, so how can he be good enough for me? What's more, Yang Qian, didn't I tell you at the restaurant the last time? He's Mu-Cheng's live-in husband! He's lived off Mu-Cheng for the past three years and she's suffered so much because of him.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng was already obsessed with him, so she didn't want her only other good friend to be sullied by Ye Fan too.

"That's right, Qianny. Aren't you a germaphobe? Maybe you should take Miss Su's tip and stay away from him.” Once

Luo Feng found out who Ye Fan was, he looked at him with a little more disdain.

He naturally didn't want the woman he was courting to get too close to this country bumpkin.

Worse still, this country bumpkin was a shameless live-in husband!

"Qianqian, you're wrong to say that. All lives are equal, regardless of whether you're rich or poor. We are all ordinary folk, so we should treat everyone fairly and we shouldn't look at others through colored lenses. Also, there's nothing with being from the countryside. Those who grow up in the countryside are cultivated by nature. The mountains, water, flowers, and trees in the wild are all pure. So the people it nourishes must be pure too.”

"I can tell right away that Mr Ye is a pure and straightforward man. I just love being friends with people like that. It was my childhood dream to find a husband who is from the countryside. Then we can farm, travel, and live together in an earthly paradise. It'll be so wonderful," said Yang Qian slowly with a gentle look in her eyes. She sounded like she was a little girl with a crush talking to the man of her dreams.

Su Qian was completely lost. She stood there dumbstruck with her eyes wide open. She stared inconceivably at her friend as she said, "Qianny, are you okay? Didn't you use to say you hated two kinds of people the most - poor people and country bumpkins? Didn't you say that their hard lives made them unreasonable? That you would rather not marry than to marry an ignorant woodlouse from the countryside like Mu-Cheng did? But now why..."

"Stop saying this nonsense!" Yang Qian cut Su Qian off heatedly as if she was an angry cat whose fur was all standing.

"When have I ever said such things? So what if he's poor and from the countryside? Although Mr Ye is materially poor, he is spiritually wealthy. Only by living happily can we achieve happiness.

Besides, how do you think the revolution succeeded? How do you think this country was built? It was built on the shoulders of farmers. It was the farmers who surrounded the city and fought for us, so how can we city folk look down on these brave farmers? Qianqian, women shouldn't be too practical and we shouldn't only take the side of those who are in power, and we definitely must not look at others through colored lenses.”

Yang Qian spoke candidly and gave such solid reasons to back up her argument. She spoke so very eloquently that Su Qian got a shock, and even Luo Feng was dumbstruck.
