A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 202

As Qiu Mu-Cheng chatted with Su Yuan-Shan and the others, no one noticed Ye Fan frowning slightly.

Ye Fan looked around somewhat quizzically and with slight surprise. But if Qiu Mu-Cheng made eye contact with Ye Fan now, she would have detected the faint light in his eyes.

After a long time, Ye Fan smiled unexpectedly, "I didn't expect such a use for the Book of Celestial Cloud."

But now that he thought about it, if the Chus treated it as an heirloom for generations to come, it had to be extraordinary.

"Mu-Cheng, look at that...driver of yours. He looks just like a villager who's entered the city for the first time. I guess he hasn't seen anything like this in his life.” Su Qian looked at how Ye Fan was looking around and smiling foolishly and found him contemptible.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted enough not to tell her father and older brother that Ye Fan was Qiu Mu-Cheng's husband. Otherwise, his unworldliness would cause such an embarrassment.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't say a word. Su Yuan-Shan glanced at Su Qian instead, "How can you look down on him? Mr Ye came from the countryside and it's only normal for him to react this way since it's his first time at a place like this. Weren't you in shock yourself earlier?”

"How can you compare me to him? I'm appreciating the antiques, ok! He's more like some ugly toad coveting these treasures and just drooling away," said Su Qian in disdain.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was already used to this.

It wasn't the first time Su Qian looked down on Ye Fan, and they seemed like natural enemies. Qiu Mu-Cheng thought it would be wiser not to leave them alone.

"Ye Fan, if you like, you can go take a look around. I'll go look over there with Uncle, and we can meet back here later," Qiu Mu-Cheng told Ye Fan.

Ye Fan nodded and agreed before walking to the front.

"Hey you! Just look but don't touch anything. These are all antiques, so you can't afford to pay if you damage them," came Su Qian's scornful voice. But Ye Fan turned a deaf ear and ignored her.

"Mu-Cheng, do you think he'd steal something if he finds something good? I'm worried he'll create trouble for you," reminded Su Qian.

"He'll be fine. Let's go."

Qiu Mu-Cheng and the others followed Su Yuan-Shan as he looked around in the antique showrooms.

At this very moment, Ye Fan had arrived at the center of the floor and was in the largest showroom.

On the side stood a vertical signboard for 'Eight Treasure Hall'. Although Ye Fan never heard of it, Eight Treasure Hall must be quite renowned in the antique circles since it occupied so much space here.

It was full of bronze, jade, and porcelain objects from various dynasties.

"Oh? Shen Fei and his friend are here too?” Ye Fan raised his head to see Shen Fei inside too.

Inside Eight Treasure Hall.

Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie were looking around inside Eight Treasure Hall. It wasn't time for rock gambling yet, so they decided to go to the nearby antique showcases for a look.

"Shao-Jie, what do you think? Do you think there's anything good in here?"

"Eight Treasure Hall is a reputable name in Yuzhou's antique circles. The Tang Bo-Hu original that my Dad gave as a gift came from this shop." They had been shopping for a long time. The quality of antiques in the other shops was poor and inconsistent, so Han Shao-Jie didn't take a liking to anything.

In the end, Shen Fei brought Han Shao-Jie into Eight Treasure Hall to appraise it.

"Hmm," Han Shao-Jie nodded. "The things in this unit are quite good. Much better quality than those stalls outside."

"Haha, that's great then! I'm counting on you to strike gold. Hurry up and pick something for me." Shen Fei was unacquainted with antiques, but Han Shao-Jie was.
