A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 111 They Ate Themselves Silly

Jiang Hong was agitated, as if she had just seen a ghost.

She would never have expected the person she had just run into to be their live-in son-in-law, Ye Fan.

"You don't freaking mind?"

"Screw you!"

"You are just a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law! Do you have the right to mind anything?"

"You are making me laugh! You are just a poor live-in son-in-law from the countryside! How dare you

try to act cool and tell me you don't freaking mind!"

Jiang Hong laughed angrily. She thought Ye Fan was a complete moron.

In her opinion, only a real VIP had the right to say "I don't mind” to her. A poor bumpkin who had merely

gotten lucky and married into her family had no right to say the same line.

"Where does your confidence freaking come from?"

Jiang Hong scolded disdainfully. She felt that she must have been really unlucky to bump into a person

like him.

Meanwhile, the other Qius were attracted by the sound of her shouting. And all of them were also

shocked to see Ye Fan, when they turned to see where the noise was coming from.

"Ye Fan?"

"Damn! That fellow is everywhere!"

"Even though you weren't invited, you shamelessly followed us here the last time. And you are doing

this again today? How thick-skinned can you be?"

"Did we freaking invite you?"

Qiu Mu-Ying lashed out angrily at Ye Fan.

In her opinion, Ye Fan was the most shameless man she had ever met.

"That's right. As they say, a shameless man can do anything he wants," Jiang Hong said in disgust.

"Auntie Jiang Hong. Qiu Mu-Ying. Don't misunderstand. We did not follow you here. We were invited by

someone else to dine here. It has nothing to do with you." Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng interjected in a

cold voice. She had just spotted her relatives upon her return from a trip to the ladies.

Wang Qiao-Yu burst out laughing when she heard this. "You people? Who would invite you to dine at a

five-star hotel? Stop joking. I think you are here because you want to share Wen-Fei's limelight and

freeload off us."

"You have already freeloaded off us once. How dare you try to do it again. I have never met anyone as

shameless as you two."

At this moment, Chu Wen-Fei stepped forward and smiled lightly. "Mom, there is no need to argue with

these people. Since they are insisting that they have their own dinner function to attend, then let them

be. They are rich, after all."

"Oh yeah, Mr. Wang? Did you hear that? Although we are relatives, but that couple over there will not

be dining with us. So when it is time to settle the bill, please separate theirs from ours. Do not give

them any freebies or discount their meals, out of consideration for me."

"After all, it is not easy to make a living nowadays. Money don't grow on trees, you know? You must not

give in to those mercenary people who keep trying to take advantage of you.”

"Do you hear me?"

Chu Wen-Fei sneered as he patted the manager's shoulder.

However, Mr. Wang, the front desk manager, was too frightened to speak. So he looked at Ye Fan for

instructions.

And Ye Fan nodded in agreement. "That's right. Mr. Wang, just do as Mr. Chu said. When it is time to

settle the bill, you do what you think is right. Don't let anyone sway your decision."

After saying his piece, an unfathomable smile danced on Ye Fan's lips as he turned to leave with his

wife.

"That piece of trash sure can act cool, huh?"

"Does he really think that just anyone can afford a meal here?"

"Without our Wen-Fei to foot the bill, let's see how he is going to pay for his meal." Qiu Mu-Ying and her

family laughed smugly when they imagined Ye Fan's impending embarrassment.

"That's right, that's right. They are really oddballs. They are so prideful, even though they are here to

freeload off us.”

"They are trying too hard to keep up appearances!" The Qius were all ridiculing Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-

Cheng. The couple had become the butts of jokes for their relatives.

"Alright. They are just a couple of clowns who won't amount to anything. You don't have to get mad at

them and ruin the mood for the evening."

"Quick, take your seats, everybody."

"Just concentrate on eating when the food arrives.”

"You can have anything you want. Just pick the expensive items on the menu."

"I, Chu Wen-Fei, am not in want of money!"

Chu Wen-Fei was feeling bold. After all, Shen Jiu-Yi had already assured him that all his meals here

would be comped. He had nothing to be afraid of. This was such a good opportunity for him to show

off, and he was going to spare no effort to do so.

After his short speech, Chu Wen-Fei and his wife started to usher their relatives to their seats.

Chu Wen-Fei also acted boldly when it was time to place his order.

He simply flipped through the menu, page after page, without paying attention to the prices.

"Wen-Fei, that's enough. We can't even finish the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.

What's the point of ordering more dishes?"

"Isn't this wasteful?" Jiang Hong and the others chimed in to persuade Chu Wen-Fei to order less food.

But Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying paid no heed to their words.

"It's fine, auntie Jiang Hong."

"We can afford this!"

"Order a few more dishes. You should sample everything."

"Get us the wine list too. Uncle Guang.

Uncle Luo. Come take a look."

"Don't worry about the price. Just order anything you like. You can have as much wine as you want."

What boldness!

This is it!

The Qius were almost moved to tears by Chu Wen-Fei's generosity.

Soon, the dishes arrived at their tables.

As the Qius feasted on the extravagant dishes and drank the wines that cost between several thousand

and several dozen thousand per bottle, they felt thoroughly satisfied. There were even collectibles

among the red wines!

"Ying-Ying has married a good man."

"Wen-Fei is such a great son-in-law!"

"Qiao-Yu, I really envy your family."

"Hahaha-"

"It's all thanks to Ying-Ying that we are able to enjoy such good food and wine~"

"Besides a pretty face, that Qiu Mu-Cheng has nothing else that can compete with

Ying-Ying."

"Her parents are useless and her husband is just a piece of trash-"

"That Ye Fan is just a poor bumpkin-"

"Compared to Wen-Fei, he is nothing!"

"Ying-Ying, that Qiu Mu-Cheng is destined to be forever trampled by you."

"Qiu Mu-Cheng has married a good-for-nothing. Her life is already over. There is no way she can catch

up to you."

Qiu Guang, Jiang Hong and the other Qius had already drunk themselves silly. Under the influence of

inebriation, they started to talk boldly among themselves.

And, without exception, all their words were praise for Qiu Mu-Ying and her family.

At this moment, Chu Wen-Fei and his wife were floating on cloud nine and feeling rather smug with

themselves.

It felt good to be flattered by others.

While the Qius were gorging themselves silly, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were having a meeting with

Xu Lei in a private room.

"Miss Xu, when will we be signing the contract?" As this was her first time meeting a legendary

businesswoman like Xu Lei, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt a bit nervous and did not know what to chat about. In

the end, both women ended up talking about the contract.

"As long as your husband is agreeable, we can sign the contract anytime." Xu Lei was such a graceful

and charming woman; even her sitting pose was exceptionally elegant.

Just then, she had a glass of red wine in her hand and, as she looked over at Ye Fan, a subtle smile

danced on her lips.

Ye Fan responded with an awkward smile. "This is between you and my wife. Please don't get me

involved. I am just here to get a free meal."

Qiu Mu-Cheng assumed Xu Lei had been joking, so she continued. "Miss Xu, I have made changes to

some terms in the contract. Would you like to take a look? But don't worry, the new additions are

advantageous to your company."

Xu Lei nodded and said, "Show them to your husband. If he is agreeable, then I am okay with it too."

Ye Fan:"...." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Ye Fan grimaced inwardly at Xu Lei's remark, and his eye twitched uncontrollably.

Xu Lei, you vixen! Must you drag me into this? Are you trying to get me in trouble with my wife?

"Miss Xu, you are so funny." Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled embarrassedly at Xu Lei, and then turned to glare

at Ye Fan.

It looked like she was telling him that she would settle the score with him once they get home.

And then, they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in,” Ye Fan replied.

Qiu Mu-Cheng kicked him lightly under the table. "Who do you think you are? Miss Xu is the host, so

how can you give someone permission to enter?" she whispered.

Ye Fan shrugged helplessly in response.

At this moment, the person outside came into the room. It was the front desk manager, Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang greeted Ye Fan respectfully and then put on a forced smile. "Mr. Chu, as a matter of course,

since the guests outside are your relatives, our hotel should comp their meals. But they have ordered

too many dishes tonight, so..."

The manager was about to tell Ye Fan that he could give the Qius a discount, but not comp their meals.

When Ye Fan heard this, he broke out in a smile.

"Mr. Wang, didn't I tell you earlier?”

"Keep our bills separate. As far as my relatives are concerned, do what you think is right. Don't offer

them any discount or comp their meals, out of consideration for me.

"After all, it is not easy to make a living nowadays. Money don't grow on trees, you know? You must not

give in to those mercenary people who keep trying to take advantage of you."

Ye Fan repeated what Chu Wen-Fei had said earlier to Mr. Wang. If Chu Wen-Fei was here, he would

probably have gotten a stroke.

When Mr. Wang heard this, he no longer felt any scruples about asking the Qius for payment. Before

turning to leave, he told Ye Fan, "Alright, Mr. Chu. Since you say so, I will act according to your wish."

"By the way, I would like to ask you something. Just how much food did they order tonight, to make a

five-star hotel back off from the idea of comping their

meals?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
