A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 411

Ye Fan looked up again at Old Master Qiu before Wang Qiao-Yu and Qiu Mu-Ying could reply. Old Master Qiu had lost all color on his face.

"Grandpa, you once said that Mu-Cheng and I were the Qiu family's greatest humiliation and the biggest mistake of your life. But from the looks of it now, I have to disappoint you. I'm so sorry."

Ye Fan laughed heartily. He ignored them and held his wife's hand as everyone looked at him with respect before walking away imposingly.

Everyone on the steps felt like he had trampled all over them.

Old Master Qiu stared dumbstruck as he watched everyone surround Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan like they were the star of the day, while his own mind went blank.

He felt as though life had cracked the biggest joke on him.

Old Master Qiu seemed unable to withstand the huge emotional ups and downs in his heart, so he staggered before falling and sitting limply on the ground.

"Dad," said Qiu Guang as he quickly went forward to support him.

Old Master Qiu grabbed Qiu Guang's hand while his body trembled.

There were hate and tears in his eyes.

His sad voice quietly rang through the skies.

"Tell me, Guang, was it a mistake to drive Mu-Cheng out of the Qiu family back then? Was it really...really a mistake?"

The intensely cold autumn wind swept across the land.

Far away, thousands of ripples undulated across Yunwu Lake while yellowed leaves rustled as they fluttered in the cold autumn wind.

"It looks like winds have started sweeping across the land,” sighed someone profoundly from the crowd out of the blue.

The Qiu family soon left with their tails between their legs under everyone's sneers and looks of ridicule.

They didn't manage to proceed with the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the end and became a complete joke.

The Qiu family wanted to use this chance to suppress Mufan Real Estate hard. They wanted to embarrass Qiu Mu-Cheng and destroy her reputation.

Also, Old Master Qiu wanted to reintroduce the Qiu family to the people of Yunzhou through this event. Old Master Qiu even harbored fantasies that the Qiu family could rise to become a first-tier family in Yunzhou and bring glory to the family just hours ago.

But fate unexpectedly played a massive prank on the Qiu family.

They didn't destroy Qiu Mu-Cheng's reputation. Their tricks backfired on them instead, and the Qiu family was disgraced.

All their guests went to offer Mufan Real Estate well wishes instead. Even the hotel they booked and the red carpet they painstakingly laid, down to the salute car and band all ended up being used for Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony.

The Qiu family and Qiushui Logistics would probably become a laughingstock from now on.

But Old Master Qiu and the Qiu family still couldn't wrap their minds around it. Why did so many rich and powerful people offer well wishes to Mufan Real Estate? Why did Wu Wei-Tao, Wang Dong-Lai, and families as influential as the Leis from Jingzhou support Qiu Mu-Cheng?

Qiu Mu-Ying and the rest of the Qiu family thought about how Chen Nan threw herself into Ye Fan's embrace and the likes of Lei Ao-Ting and Wang Yu-Chen treating Ye Fan so deferentially. In an instant, all their minds exploded as they shivered even harder.

Could that lowly good-for-nothing of a live-in husband be the Qiu family's true secret phenomenon?

Could Qiu Mu-Cheng's husband actually be a big shot?

Everyone was struck with horror the moment the thought crossed their minds.

In particular, Qiu Mu-Ying was so uneasy that it felt as though a tsunami had unleashed in her heart.

Qiu Mu-Ying had always despised Qiu Mu-Cheng because she married a good-for-nothing who was a farmer from the countryside. Especially after she was engaged to Chu Wen-Fei, Qiu Mu-Ying always had a sense of superiority to Qiu Mu-Cheng

If Ye Fan were the true hidden phenomenon and a genuinely important man, then Qiu Mu-Cheng would have undoubtedly trampled the remnants of Qiu Mu-Ying's pride hard.

"No, it can't be him! I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Ye Fan is a country bumpkin and a useless louse, so he can't be a big shot. He simply can't be,” roared Qiu Mu-Ying uncontrollably with her eyes crimson and looking a lunatic.

Yet no one detected the immense fear and panic in Qiu Mu-Ying's voice. She had lost all confidence.

No one else uttered a word when they heard Qiu Mu-Ying roaring.

"Drop by anytime!"

"Haha!"

"Do come by again!"

"Just let me know in advance. I'll be here waiting for you with Maojian tea!"

Han Li and Qiu Lei's eager voices came from the door. They sounded ingratiating, no matter how it was perceived.

"Mum, that's enough. Stop shouting.

Mayor Wu is long gone,” said Qiu Mu-Cheng thinking how embarrassing it was for her mother to fawn over them so badly.

"I have to keep going even after they are long gone, you silly girl. Mayor Wu came all the way here to support us, so I have to be more enthusiastic."

Ye Fan had sent Chen Nan and the others on their way too while Qiu Mu-Ying and

Han Li were speaking.

"Fan, we're off now. Visit me in Jianghai when you have the chance," said Chen Nan as she sat in the car and waved to Ye Fan. She was a little reluctant to say goodbye.

"Yup," said Ye Fan as he nodded. Then he waved Chen Nan goodbye.

Lei Ao-Ting and Wang Yu-Chen didn't get to enjoy the same treatment.

Ye Fan only nodded at them without even smiling or waving goodbye.

Lei Ao-Ting felt upset when he observed the differential treatment and sighed, "Yu-Chen, why doesn't Mr Chu wave goodbye to us?"

Wang Yu-Chen shook his head and smiled, "If you were a girl and looked as good as Chen Nan and already knew Mr Chu for a few years, Mr Chu might wave goodbye to you or even marry you."

"Get lost!" cursed Lei Ao-Ting angrily as he rolled his eyes.
