A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 178

"Also, also, I heard that during the MidAutumn Festival, Mr Chu is going to appear at Yunzhou's Mid-Autumn Night Auction! Dad and Yu-Hao came here because of this auction. Apparently Mr Chu is going to put up something mysterious to dazzle all of Yunzhou and all the upper class folk in Jiangdong are going crazy! There are a lot of wealthy people making their way to Yunzhou right now. Auntie Li, Yunzhou is going to have a really exciting Mid-Autumn Festival this year!" Han Fei-Fei said very excitedly.

Han Fei-Fei's voice was also filled with admiration and respect when she talked about Mr Chu.

She looked like a crazy fangirl rambling on about her favorite idol.

After all, just the status and position of a legendary man standing at the top of Jiangdong was charming enough.

"Auction? What auction? Where will it be held? It sounds like fun - can your uncle and I go along too?" Han Li loved to join in the action and immediately asked Han Fei-Fei about the auction. They didn't have anything on that night anyway.

But Han Fei-Fei shook her head and laughed. "Auntie Li, you can forget about that auction. It's not a place for people like us. Only the rich and powerful in Jiangdong get to go in. You've got to be worth at least a few billion to get in."

What?!

"You've got to be worth at least a few billion?! My goodness me! All men are not equal after all!"

"Mu-Cheng, did you hearthat? Compared to those rich and powerful people, we're like a bunch of earthworms who can't even get into the auction. Besides, I've never even heard of this auction before..." sighed Han Li. She suddenly felt a terrible difference between being rich and being poor.

Rich people and poor people truly did live in two different worlds.

"Yu-Hao, you have to work hard, we can see you have a bright future ahead of you. Perhaps you're not as good as people like Mr Li Er or Mr Chu, but at least you're younger than them. If you work hard enough, then even if you can't get to Mr Chu's level, you must definitely get to Mr Li Er's level! Then we will all look good next to you," remarked Han Li and Qiu Lei. At this age, they couldn't do anything else but place any hopes of becoming rich and powerful on their son-in-law.

As for their daughter, she couldn't make it since she was just a woman. It was fine to throw a few tantrums, but she had to rely on a man to make it big.

And that's why Han Li insisted that Qiu Mu-Cheng marry a rich man.

Sun Yu-Hao had an arrogant smile on his lips when he heard this and said, "Mum, don't worry."

"I already have a plan mapped out for the rest of my life. Perhaps I'm not as good as Mr Chu, Mr Li Er or Mr Chen Ao, but I believe that in another 20 years, or perhaps just 10 years, all these people I look up to now will be under my feet. Then there will only be one name in Jiangdong -Sun Yu-Hao!" declared Sun Yu-Hao proudly. Only his voice could be heard echoing in the restaurant.

What domineering words!

"This is the right man to marry!”

"Mu-Cheng, look! This is what you call manliness!"

"Look at that useless thing over there! He's even worse than a woman. In front of Yu-Hao, that useless thing is just a piece of shit!"

Han Li praised Sun Yu-Hao while Qiu Lei gave him a thumbs up. Han Fei-Fei even cheered for him.

But even while singing Sun Yu-Hao's praises, they always remembered to throw Ye Fan under a bus along the way.

By praising one and pushing the other down, it was easy to show Qiu Mu-Cheng the great difference between Ye Fan and

Sun Yu-Hao. They were sure that Qiu Mu-Cheng was going to cave in to Sun Yu-Hao's charms now.

But at this moment, Ye Fan suddenly looked up from his food and tea and started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"
