A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 193

"What?"

"So she's just the wife of some country bumpkin!"

"And I thought she was the wife of some big shot!"

"So she's just a penniless beggar.”

“She doesn't have money but she's all dressed up just to keep up appearances."

All the people nearby shook their heads and laughed after hearing what Qiu Mu-Ying said.

They suddenly felt that this woman here didn't look so elegant anymore. She was just pretty.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like she hadn't heard any of the nasty comments.

After going through so much, Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't as bothered by others' comments as before.

She looked at Qiu Mu-Ying and calmly replied, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"I'm not here to look for the difference. I've been invited by the organizers to attend tonight's auction. Since I don't have anything on in the morning, I decided to come earlier."

Wait, what?

"You got an invitation to tonight's auction? You must be babbling nonsense!" snapped Qiu Mu-Ying unhappily as she frowned.

She would never believe that someone like Qiu Mu-Cheng would get an invitation from the organizers to the auction tonight.

Even she wasn't eligible to attend the auction.

Even her husband's father didn't get an invitation.

How could the wife of a live-in husband, a daughter disowned by the Qiu family, the boss of a tiny company, ever get an invitation?

That was ridiculous!

"Someone like you? Someone with no money nor status would receive an invitation? This event is organized by Mr Li Er of Yunzhou! Even my husband didn't get an invitation, so why would Mr Li invite you? That's a joke! Can't you even tell a believable lie? Never mind the auction tonight, I don't think you can even get into the hall for the daytime activities!” Qiu Mu-Ying spoke mercilessly with disdain in her eyes. The people around Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at her equally disdainfully.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't be bothered with her and just replied her calmly, "Whether I can get in or not is none of your business."

It was time to go in.

The staff for the event finally opened the doors and they had nearly 100 security guards on standby to control the crowd.

In order to make sure the event ran smoothly, Li Er had already contacted the traffic police and cordoned off all the roads to allow only pedestrians to walk on the roads.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not rush. As the number of attendees are many, please follow the announcements and follow the order in which you are asked to enter the hall. We would like to invite all guests who have invitations to tonight's auction to come forward first and enter using the VIP entrance."

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

The staff in front started making announcements.

Qiu Mu-Ying looked towards Qiu Mu-Cheng and said in a mocking voice, "Mu-Cheng, why are you standing here?"

"They're calling for you! Didn't you say you had an invitation to tonight's auction?

Then you'd better go forward! And you'd be taking the VIP entrance too! How glamorous!" Qiu Mu-Ying looked sarcastically at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Chu Wen-Fei stood next to her and chimed in, "Yingying, don't be like this. Your cousin is just showing off in front of you to build her confidence, don't expose her like that."

"How is your cousin going to save her reputation like that?”

"HAHAHA!"

This husband and wife made everyone around them start laughing.

In no time, everyone was looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan with mocking and disdain in their eyes. To them, these two had become the laughingstock in the crowd.

"So what if she's pretty?"

"She really tries too hard."

"She's just a poor person and even married a country bumpkin. Isn't it good enough to just stay at the bottom of society?"

"She even came here to brag."

"Now that her lies have been exposed, she must be terribly embarrassed."

The crowd shook their heads and snorted.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng remained calm in the face of the mocking crowd. She looked at Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband and said, "Fine, since you so wish."

"Ye Fan, let's go."

Everyone was shocked when they saw that Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan were seriously headed for the VIP entrance.

"Good god!"

"They're serious?!"

"And she even brought that country bumpkin with her!"

Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei were also surprised for a moment, before they broke into laughter.

"Yingying, looks like this cousin of yours is a bit dumb."

"We just agitated her a little and she really went for it."
