A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 348

Qiu Mu-Ying's disdainful mocking voice echoed in the shop.

The young sales assistant was shocked and surprised to hear what Qiu Mu-Ying said.

"Did you say she married someone from the countryside? And he married into her family? You're...you're kidding, right? She's so pretty!"

Even when the sales assistant herself went for blind dates, she never cared about men from the countryside. Her first requirement was that they must have a house in the city and his parents had to be working full time in the city.

So she found it hard to believe that this gorgeous woman with an excellent figure and looks would marry such a lousy guy.

"I've already said my piece. If you don't believe me, you can ask her husband whether he can afford this gown or not. That bum next to her is her husband, you can ask him," said Qiu Mu-Ying disdainfully as she looked up at Ye Fan. She crossed her arms and looked all ready to watch a good show.

When she noticed that Ye Fan was in new clothes, the disdain in Qiu Mu-Ying's eyes intensified. "Oh my, I didn't notice earlier. I see that our dear Young Master Ye is in new clothes! You spent your wife's money, didn't you?"

"You're a grown man but you need your wife to feed you. Don't you find it embarrassing? And so what if you're in a suit? A clown is a clown. No matter how expensive these clothes are, they can't hide the countryside smell on you."

Qiu Mu-Ying couldn't stop mocking him.

The young sales assistant was still doubtful and she looked at the couple in front of her questioningly as she hoped they would prove her wrong.

She didn't want all the things she said earlier to go to waste.

But before Ye Fan could say anything, Qiu Mu-Cheng's expression turned cold and she suppressed the anger inside her. She tugged at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, let's go. We'll look elsewhere."

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't want to waste time talking to Qiu Mu-Ying. She knew that this younger cousin of hers was an unreasonable character, and she wasn't going to change or be convinced no matter how much you said.

In that case, why bother wasting any time on her?

There were some people whom Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't want to bother about, and there was no need to.

"What the heck? After so long, they turned out to be two bums? How dare they come in here to shop if they were too poor? What a waste of my saliva!"

Since Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan quietly turned to leave the shop, this confirmed what Qiu Mu-Ying had said. The young sales assistant immediately became so angry her face was all red and continued to make disdainful remarks as they left and was no longer friendly or polite anymore.

After all, one was a pauper and the other was a chicken, but they actually dared to come and look at a phoenix headdress?

They had wasted her time and effort, so of course the sales assistant started feeling contempt for them.

Qiu Mu-Ying's face was covered in a mocking smile as she watched Qiu Mu-Cheng walk away. She used a victorious voice to yell out, "Mu-Cheng, since you married a useless bum, then forget about trying to wear a phoenix headdress and become a queen! Just stick to being the good old chicken you are!"

"HAHAHA!" Qiu Mu-Ying laughed loudly.

Her voice was quite loud, so a number of customers turned to look at what was happening.

Everyone who turned to look at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng had some disdain in their eyes and they looked at the couple like they were a pair of clowns.

"Some of these poor people are really trying too hard to keep up appearances."

"A lot of them use credit cards or borrow from those illegal lenders online, and then they would purchase those items that are way too expensive for them in order to satisfy their ego."

"In the end, they're just doing themselves in!"

There were many members of high society in the shop and they all shook their heads and snorted at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.

The sales assistant yelled very loudly as if she was afraid that Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng would make a run for it. She also called the security guards over to watch the two of them carefully.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was already terribly frightened. Her little face was as white as a sheet and her frail body was trembling too.

She never thought that the vase she broke would be a cloisonne piece from the early 1900s and cost nearly $1 million!

That meant that she would have to pay that much in compensation!

But she didn't have that much money.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had worked for a number of years now, but she barely had any savings. Back at the Qius', she only earned a few thousand a month and most of it was given to her parents. She barely had enough for herself and she had to feed the entire family. It was already a miracle that she didn't have any loans, so how could she have any savings? And how could she come up with nearly $1 million at one shot?

Did she have to sell the house?

But the house was under her parents' name and they would never sell it.

Besides, if they sold it, where would they live?

Qiu Mu-Cheng's hand grew cold as she could feel the fierce stare of the sales assistant as well as the security guards who had surrounded her. Her mind went blank and she just felt that she was in big trouble this time.

But just when Qiu Mu-Cheng was feeling helpless, a warm and strong hand held onto her.

Ye Fan didn't say anything, but when Qiu Mu-Cheng felt the warmth from his palm, all the panic and fear in her heart actually calmed down.

She was like a flower that had found a fence to grow on, and a ship that found a port to dock.
