A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 90

After she had finished speaking, Qiu Mu-Cheng stood up and made her way toward the hall's exit, without waiting for her grandmother's reply.

"Mu-Cheng, stop fooling around!"

"Come back~"

Qiu Mu-Cheng's action caused Han Hai to glare and yell at her.

But she continued as if she had not heard her uncle. The guests caught a flash of red lips, a glimpse of dark soulful eyes and a flutter of dress. Just like that, Qiu Mu-Cheng disregarded the stares of the crowd and walked toward where Ye Fan was sitting. And then she sat down in the courtyard with him.

"What on earth is she doing?"

"We are helping her find a new husband out of the kindness of our hearts. But not only is she not grateful, she is actually giving us attitude?"

Mom, look at your granddaughter!'

Han Yue was trembling with rage. She had not expected Qiu Mu-Cheng to be so blunt in her rejection. Out of the kindness of their hearts, her family had introduced a prospective marriage partner to her. So how could she just turn down the marriage without even meeting the prospective groom first?

To add insult to injury, Qiu Mu-Cheng had rejected them in the presence of so many people. That, undoubtedly, was a slap in the face of Han Yue and her family. Therefore, it was only natural that they felt unhappy about the slight.

Han Yue had no scruples about complaining to her mother, but Mo Wen-Xuan chose to keep his peace. However, his face looked cold and sombre.

Clearly, he was feeling unhappy about the slight Qiu Mu-Cheng had shown him earlier.

Just then, Han Fei-Fei spoke up softly to defend Qiu Mu-Cheng. "But auntie, you can't blame Mu-Cheng for getting angry. The thing is, the man you were

recommending to her..."

But before Han Fei-Fei could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an angry Han Yue. "What? What is wrong with Liu?"

"He is from a working family. He has a house and a job. And his salary is ten thousand per month. So tell me, what is wrong with him? Isn't he much better than that live-in son-in-law?"

"How dare she look down on him? She herself has married a useless piece of trash, so do you think she has the right to look down on Liu?"

"Liu does not dare to disobey Wen-Xuan, because he is Wen-Xuan's employee. If it weren't for that, Liu will probably look down on her and turn down the marriage."

It doesn't pay to be a good guy. She is being ungrateful even though she is getting the better end of the deal. What an ungrateful wretch."

Han Yue was in the throes of rage and her words were interspersed with curses.

Meanwhile, her daughter was trying to placate her. "Enough already, mom? Since Mu-Cheng is being ungrateful, then let us not worry about her.”

"If she is happy to stay with a piece of trash, then let her. Since she is going to be the one to suffer the consequences."

"Heaven helps those who help themselves. Mu-Cheng is the sort of person who can't tell good from bad and enjoys wallowing in degeneration. You just can't help a person like that."

"Anyway, she is going to suffer in the future."

Han Yu smiled coldly and felt nothing but derision toward her cousin.

"She is not a real princess but she sure acts like one. Our driver, Liu, is an honest and good man. He is definitely more than worthy of her."

"He is not looking down on her, so how dare she do that to him?"

"Is she even in a position to look down on him?"

Han Yu was also beside herself with rage. Earlier, she had told their driver, via a text message, to come over tonight and have a matchmaking meeting with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng had turned down the marriage without giving it a second thought.

"Fine, there is no pleasing everybody?"

"What am I going to tell Liu when he comes tonight?"

"Our guests will be arriving soon, and our tables will be filled. But you and your husband will be sitting out there all by yourselves. Let us see how you are going to save yourself from the embarrassment."

"Let us see if you can still maintain that proud demeanor of yours, after you have been utterly humiliated!"

Han Yu laughed smugly, and a smile was plastered wantonly across her heavily made-up face.

Her mother, Han Yue, was also looking smug. When she turned to look at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng, she felt nothing but disdain and ridicule for the couple.

More and more, Han Yue and her family were looking forward to what would happen next.

"He, I heard you have been working hard as the mayor to make the town prosperous. And you have produced results. I think, this time, you will be receiving more guests than our Wen-Xuan. Perhaps even the county head will show up to support you." In the past, Han Hai's guests had always arrived first. After all, Han Hai and his family were living in Jianghai, so their guests had less distance to travel.

But Han He smiled humbly and said, "Auntie, surely you jest. I am still inexperienced so I do not have that much clout. There is no way I can compare to Wen-Xuan."

Mo Wen-Xuan was the young master of the Mo family and, some years ago, he had already been helping his father with the family business.

His status as the young master of the Mo family alone was enough to attract a horde of followers. Last year, the number of Mo Wen-Xuan's supporters who had shown up to celebrate Madam Han's birthday was enough to fill two tables. This year, because Mo Wen-Xuan was looking certain to inherit his family's business, it was expected that a larger number of guests would show up to support him. The others were thinking that, rather than just filling up two tables, this time his guests would spill out of the hall and into the doorway.

"Haha~"

Han Yue laughed proudly. She was basking in the reflected glory of her son-in-law.

Han Yu's eyes were filled with pride, as she waited eagerly for the banquet to begin.

Meanwhile, Mo Wen-Xuan continued to look composed, but the haughty smile on his lips made him look like a show-off.

"Hahaha~"

"Madam Han, I have come to wish you a happy birthday~"

Finally, while the Hans were still chatting among themselves, the first batch of guests had already arrived outside the Han's family house.
