A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 190

It was still a few more days to the MidAutumn Festival and Su Qian was getting impatient. She kept calling Qiu Mu-Cheng to look at clothes together and to go shopping and to do her hair.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't know what to say at all. They were going to attend an auction, not a blind date. So what was the fuss all about?

"What do you mean it isn't a blind date? What if Mr Chu falls for me? This is the first time we're going to be so close to Mr Chu, so we must take it seriously. I'm going to make sure I present the most beautiful side of myself to Mr Chu. I'm going to use my beauty and charm to conquer the most powerful man in Jiangdong! I'm going to make Mr Chu fall head over heels in love with me!"

PFFFFT...

Qiu Mu-Cheng was eating while Su Qian was talking to her over the phone, and she had left the phone on speakerphone.

Ye Fan's expression kept changing throughout the conversation but he just pretended that he hadn't heard anything and continued eating quietly.

But after he heard Su Qian declare so confidently that she was going to conquer Mr Chu and make him fall head over heels in love with her, Ye Fan couldn't take it anymore and spat everything in his mouth out at Han Li who was seated across from him.

The half chewed bun and vegetable juices flowed down Han Li's reddening face.

Uh oh.

Ye Fan was shocked by himself.

It wasn't just Ye Fan. Qiu Lei, Qiu Mu-Cheng and even Han Li herself couldn't believe what just happened.

But Ye Fan was the first to react. He grinned and said, "Uh, Mum, uh, we've run out of soy sauce so I'll run out and buy some. Leave the dishes in the sink, I'll wash them when I come back."

Ye Fan made a run for it.

It was better than staying here and get killed.

The moment Ye Fan made it out of the door, he could hear Han Li's ear piercing shriek coming from behind him.

"YE FAN!! You little piece of shit! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!"

"He must have done this on purpose, he must have done this on purpose!!"

"This useless weakling never had anything good up his sleeve!!”

"Qiu Mu-Cheng! Look at how you've spoiled this husband of yours! Why do you still keep him around! Divorce him! Divorce him tonight!"

Han Li's angry voice continued to echo through the house.

Ye Fan was glad that he had made his escape in time, otherwise he would surely be boiled alive.

And just like that, Ye Fan stayed outside for one whole day without daring to return home.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Cheng called him after work the next day and told Ye Fan he could come home.

"My uncle and the rest are here. My mum wouldn't be too rude to you with guests around," said Qiu Mu-Cheng with a faint smile on her lips.

"Tsk, you're actually laughing at me. Your husband was nearly chopped to pieces by your mum, you know. If I die, then you'd have to be a widow. I'll see who would have children with you when that happens!"

"Shut up! If you've got nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all!" Qiu Mu-Cheng's face instantly turned red as she yelled angrily at Ye Fan.

Only Ye Fan dared to say such shameless things in front of her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just hung up on him.

And of course, Ye Fan obediently went right home after receiving that call.

"You useless bum! How dare you come back here! GET OUT!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng had underestimated how much her mother hated Ye Fan. Even though they had guests in the house, Han Li continued to berate Ye Fan mercilessly without even leaving him a single shred of dignity.

"Mum, that's quite enough. We have guests in the house," said Qiu Mu-Cheng unhappily to Han Li as she walked over.

Han Li didn't continued shouting at Ye Fan and left with a nasty expression after scoffing coldly at him. But before walking away, she glared at Ye Fan and commanded coldly, "Aren't you going to cook?!"

To her, the only useful thing about Ye Fan was his ability to do household chores.
