A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 444

"This idiot didn't even call me after reaching Yanjing

In Yunzhou, at Liuyuan Residential District.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wrapped herself in a blanket as she drank warm water and got angry.

"Mu-Cheng, have you taken your medicine? You're all grown up already and you still make us so worried. When that useless bum was around, you never fell sick. Now that he's just left, you've fallen sick. Are you trying to torture your two elderly parents?"

Han Li was nagging away outside the room.

That's right, Qiu Mu-Cheng was sick.

And she fell sick the second day after Ye Fan left.

But it wasn't anything serious. It was just a common cold.

But that heavy and weak feeling as well as the stuffiness in her nose made Qiu Mu-Cheng extremely uncomfortable.

"You terrible little girl, why haven't you taken your medicine? The herbal soup has already gone cold!" Han Li marched in from the door and started yelling angrily when she noticed the full bowl on the table.

"Drink it down now! Do you still need me to feed you or something? These are very expensive herbs! It will help to cure your cold and build up your immunity."

Han Li brought the bowl of soup over.

But after drinking one mouthful, Qiu Mu-Cheng spat it back out.

"Mum, it's so bitter! It's too bitter! I'm not drinking it, it's too bitter!" Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head repeatedly and looked like she was really suffering.

Han Li got even angrier. "All good medicine is bitter! Drink it down now!"

But Qiu Mu-Cheng simply refused to drink it.

Han Li eventually gave up and left.

"Argh! You terrible little girl, I don't care if you drink it or not! So difficult! You'd better call that useless bum to come back and take care of you. We can barely take care of ourselves and we still have to take care of you?!" Han Li ranted before angrily storming out of the room.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was left all alone in her room.

She sighed as she watched her mother heartlessly abandon her in the room.

It was true that a woman could rely on her man more than her parents after she had grown up.

"This stupid Ye Fan. Why hasn't he called me in so long? Do you know that your wife is about to die?” Qiu Mu-Cheng was livid as she started cursing at Ye Fan.

There were many times when she wanted to call him, but she refused to give in.

She was the beautiful CEO of Mufan Real Estate after all. How could she be the one to ask someone else to comfort her?

"Humph! I'm going to see how long it takes for Ye Fan to remember that he has a wife!"

Just when she was filled with anger, Ye Fan finally came calling.

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt a strange sense of happiness in her heart when she saw that he was calling.

But in order to express her anger, she rejected the call.

Ye Fan was sitting in the hotel and was stunned by this. A bad feeling rose in his heart.

He had taken too long to call home and his wife was probably angry with him.

Ye Fan got even more anxious now.

Ye Fan didn't tell Qiu Mu-Cheng what happened today.

He didn't tell her that the man that Xu Lei was supposed to marry wasn't some chivalrous or outstanding man at all, but some useless and promiscuous man.

The goddess of Jiangdong had not found happiness of her own at all.

Her wedding banquet was really just a sacrificial ceremony in order to exchange for more benefits for her family in the future.

Ye Fan pitied this girl whom he had gotten to know when they were children.

He just felt that life had been unfair to her.

She had lost her parents and even her marriage was only going to lead to doom.

But while Ye Fan was talking to Qiu Mu-Cheng in the living room, he didn't notice that Xu Lei had walked out from the bedroom.

Ye Fan put Qiu Mu-Cheng on speakerphone, so Xu Lei had heard everything.

But she didn't disrupt them and just returned to the bedroom. She closed the door behind her and quietly sat down against the door as her tears started flowing.

These two childhood friends had become the goddess of Yunzhou and a hero of

Jiangdong, like the main characters of a novel. But they had completely missed each other's paths.

Nobody could understand the regret and hurt in Xu Lei's heart now.

She wished that the one she was going to marry was really an outstanding man whom she liked and relied on like what Qiu Mu-Cheng said.

If only...if only that were true.
