A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 199

"Well, that..." when Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei heard Wang Liang's pleas, they froze. Their expressions went livid instantly and looked like they were put in a difficult position.

How could they lower themselves to beg a country bumpkin? And Qiu Mu-Cheng too?

How could they?

Qiu Mu-Ying had always been competitive and arrogant, so she found it unacceptable and was incapable of speaking on his behalf.

She and Qiu Mu-Cheng had a longstanding feud at the Qius after all. They opposed each other like fire and water. How could she beg the person she looked down on?

It was not merely a matter of asking a favor, but a question of pride between women.

If she were to speak up, it meant she could not be compared to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

So naturally, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

On the other hand, Chu Wen-Fei was a rich man's son, he couldn't lower himself to beg Ye Fan and the others either.

A lowly son-in-law who married into his wife's family had no right to expect that of him.

But Wang Liang was their friend after all, so Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei could not stand by and leave him in the lurch.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Ying walked up straight to Shen Fei instead and said, "Young Master Shen, since we're acquainted, can you do me a favor and forgive Uncle Wang this once?"

"Yes, Young Master Shen. Couldn't you do us this favor? Besides, Uncle Wang was doing it for the sake of the company, so there's no need to be so extreme," persuaded Chu Wen-Fei.

When Shen Fei heard this, he burst into laughter. He looked at Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei coldly and said, "Do you a

favor?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Unless Mr Ye asks me to do this himself, no one else can save him today. Moreover, it's not up to people like you who don't know better to criticize how I deal with my subordinates!” Shen Fei was very harsh about it and didn't go easy on Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei at all.

This was Yunzhou, so Shen Fei wasn't afraid of anyone else besides a handful of people.

So what if this Qiu Mu-Ying was the most beloved daughter of Master Qiu?

Shen Fei didn't even care about Master Qiu, much less one little Qiu Mu-Ying.

"You...You..." Qiu Mu-Ying was so furious that her pretty little face flushed red while she trembled.

Qiu Mu-Ying was accustomed to being domineering at the Qius and never suffered such humiliation. And this was happening in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan no less.

In a fit of anger, Qiu Mu-Ying almost wanted to retort. But after she opened her mouth, she didn't dare to speak a word.

Qiu Mu-Ying could heedlessly abuse Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan verbally but didn't dare offend the heir of Shen Group after all.

In the end, it was too embarrassing for the husband and wife to linger on, so they walked away angrily. Qiu Mu-Ying even glared coldly at Qiu Mu-Cheng before they left.

"Humph, Qiu Mu-Cheng! Don't think I'll look at you different just because of what happened today! Losers like you can only rely on others. If you're that great, then rely on only yourself!” But when Qiu Mu-Ying said these words, she was clearly not confident enough and just sounded like a withered eggplant.

Of course, Ye Fan and the others couldn't be bothered with Qiu Mu-Ying's words.

People like them always made all sorts of excuses to belittle others and refused to admit others' excellence. Their narrowmindedness and self-denial made it hard for them to succeed in the future.

Since Master Qiu handed the company over to her, she was bound to ruin it sooner or later.

Ye Fan nodded and smiled. He had no time to waste on an insignificant woman like her.

"Mr Ye, I see you came early. Are you here for the jade showcase? Other than the auction at night, the biggest attraction at Shanshui Hall is the daytime jade showcase. A jade rock gambling event will be included. A lot of people like the thrill of gambling and find it immensely exciting. Shao-Jie is an expert in the rock gambling circles."

"If you want to find out more about rock gambling, you can ask Shao-Jie."

When he saw Ye Fan, Shen Fei instinctively thought he was here to gamble rocks just like them.

After all, the most presentable daytime event at the hall was the rock gambling event. A lot of influential big shots came to join in the fun.

But too bad, Shen Fei was overthinking it.
