A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 655

Before Qiu Mu-Cheng could respond, Ye Fan had already knocked back the entire glass of wine in one mouthful.

All the differences and arguments from before as well the last three years of their marriage was all contained within this glass of wine.

After the wine went down, 30% of it turned into loneliness and 70% of it turned into his motivation. His angry words earlier sent echoes down the hall.

It had been such a long time. Ever since Ye Fan married into the Qiu family, nobody knew how much humiliation Ye Fan had suffered as a result.

In the past, Ye Fan didn't care about who bullied him, humiliated him or laughed at him.

In all of Yunzhou, the only person he cared about was Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But no matter what Ye Fan managed to achieve, Qiu Mu-Cheng just thought that he had gotten all these things as favors

from others.

Today, he had invited Qiu Mu-Cheng to the Feast of the Sea and Sky.

His aim was to make her see for herself that her man had risen on the clouds to reach the peak of Jiangdong.

Ye Fan wanted to use reality to tell her that her man was no useless piece of trash.

He wanted her to see that he was able to give her all the glory and honor if she wanted!

After downing that glass, Ye Fan turned and left. All that Qiu Mu-Cheng was left with was Ye Fan's skinny and determined back view.

Qiu Mu-Cheng remained silent as she watched him walk away.

His words continued to replay in her mind.

Her heart was filled with nothing but regret and self-blame.

Qiu Mu-Cheng realized that she had been wrong right from the start.

She was the one who had made a grave mistake to begin with.

He was her husband, so she should have believed him unconditionally.

She shouldn't have suspected or questioned him.

Her tears started to flow uncontrollably.

As she watched Ye Fan walk away, Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was already covered in tears without her realizing it.

The Feast of the Sea and Sky soon came to an end.

After the banquet officially came to a close, all the smaller and unimportant rich families as well as the younger ones like Su Qian and Fan Zhong-Xian also left the restaurant.

The remaining leaders of the various cities were invited to Mount Yunding Villa instead.

"Everyone, please take a seat, I've prepared high grade Maojian for all of you. Please have a taste, no need to stand on ceremony." Ye Fan sat on the highest seat reserved for the head of the house while the rest sat on a lower level sofa as they drank the tea.

"Mr Chu, I'm sure you didn't call all of us here just to drink tea, right? Please just speak your mind. The financial year just closed and I'm sure everyone has many things to attend to in the office, so if there's anything you would like to say, just go straight to the point, that would be better for everyone. Time is money after all," said a man in his thirties in a low voice as he looked up at Ye Fan.

"Chun-Hua, watch your attitude," said the man next to him with a pale face as he quietly nudged him.

Ye Fan looked over and smiled faintly. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

Ye Fan quietly replied, "I have my own reasons for needing so much jade. I just want to know if you can help me to get this amount."

Ye Fan looked around and the entire house

fell silent.

Everyone looked down and nobody wanted to say yes but nobody wanted to say no either.

"If you want jade, of course it's possible. As long as you have enough money, the Meng family can provide you with as much as you can afford. How much are you giving us to prepare all this jade?" Meng Chun-Hua's laughter rang out after a period of silence.

The atmosphere in the room became even more awkward now.

Meng Chun-Hua's words was what everyone was wondering about as well.

Ye Fan had asked them to get jade for him, but he didn't mention anything about money.

That was a lot of jade to buy.

Ye Fan calmly responded to Meng Chun-Hua's question, "I don't have money, but if you're asking about remuneration, then would a favor from me be enough?"

"Tsk, a favor?"

Meng Chun-Hua immediately burst out laughing.

"Mr Chu, you make it sound really nice, but are you trying to say that you're not going to give us a single cent and you want us to just give you the jade for free? Mr Chu, it's not that I don't want to do you this favor, but we're all businessmen here. All of us have our fair share of loans to pay and other financial burdens."

"But now you're just going to give the command and you expect to get everything for nothing? You want us to buy jade for you out of our own pocket? Don't you think this request is going a little overboard?"
