A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 40

Chu Wen-Fei's face was flushed from the three glasses of wine he had drunk within a short span of time. Meanwhile, Shen Fei had a terrible expression on his face, as he thought about giving the idiotic Chu Wen-Fei a few good kicks.

But in the midst of Shen Fei's gloom, he was interrupted by Ye Fan. The latter, who had been watching the farce from the sidelines, shook his head and smiled. Then, he raised his tea cup and faced Shen Fei with a smile. "Today's banquet has shown me your sincerity. So I shall forgive your rudeness toward Mu-Cheng. I will no longer pursue this matter. But remember this. There will not be a next time."

"Mu-Cheng doesn't like me to drink, so I don't drink often. Today, I will respond to your toast with a cup of tea."

Ye Fan's interjection caused Qiu Mu-Cheng to jump in fright.

She hurriedly poked her husband and said angrily: "Ye Fan, are you crazy? Why are you interrupting them?"

As for the Qius, they were dumbfounded by Ye Fan's interruption. All at once, they turned to look at Ye Fan as if he was an idiot. Wang Qiao-Yu and Qiu Mu-Ying was laughing hard enough to hurt themselves. When the mother and daughter pair looked at Ye Fan, their eyes were filled with ridicule.

"Haha~"

"Ye Fan, are you a moron?"

"You can see their sincerity? You are not going to pursue matters? You are just a live-in son-in-law. How dare you speak to Young Master Shen like that?"

"If we didn't know any better, we would have thought that you were the guest of honor today."

"And you want to toast Young Master Shen with a cup of tea? You are just a lowly live-in son-in-law. Do you think you are worthy of that honor?"

Wang Qiao-Yu thought the idea was laughable. It was as if she had just seen

Ye Fan perform the funniest joke in the world.

Qiu Mu-Ying's face was also filled with mockery and disdain. "The very idea is laughable!"

"Our Wen-Fei has not said anything yet, you piece of trash. Who gave you the right to show off around here?"

"Why don't you take a good look at yourself? What are you? Do you think you are worthy enough to have a drink with Young Master Shen?"

The Qius started scolding Ye Fan and even Master Qiu joined in the fray. With a frown on his face, he turned to Ye Fan and shouted coldly: "You ill-mannered brat. Do you think this is a place where you can act as you wish? Apologize to Young Master Shen now!"

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng was feeling embarrassed due to her husband's behavior. So as she urged her husband to apologize, she herself was also asking for forgiveness from Shen Fei. "Young Master Shen, I am sorry. Don't be angry. I will get him to apologize to you."

"Mu-Cheng, they are the ones who are supposed to make the apology. So why are we apologizing to them?" Ye Fan continued to smile lightly.

When the Qius heard him, they got so frightened that they almost wet themselves. And they started scolding Ye Fan.

"Go screw yourself!"

"Are you an idiot?"

"How dare you brag in front of Young Master Shen! If we knew you would do something like this, we would not have brought you here!"

As for Qiu Mu-Cheng, she was getting frantic with worry and kept urging Ye Fan to apologize.

But, unexpectedly, just as the assembled Qius were scolding Ye Fan, Shen Fei suddenly stood up and raised his cup in response to Ye Fan's toast. And with a flattered look on his face, Young Master Shen turned to Ye Fan and answered: "Haha~"

"It is my honor to be able to exchange a toast with Mr. Chu!"

"Mr. Chu, thank you for your magnanimity. I will finish my drink first!"

Shen Fei's tone was servile and very respectful, as if he was a eunuch serving the emperor.

"What~"

"What~What~"

Wang Qiao-Yu was stunned. And Qiu Mu-Ying's mocking laughter came to a stop. The other Qius were all rooted to the spot.

"What's going on?"

"Young Master Shen is having a drink with him?" "And he looks like he's flattered by Ye Fan's

attention?"

Qiu Mu-Ying and the other Qius felt they were unable to process what was going on. Wang Qiao-Yu was staring with wide-open eyes as she hurriedly explained to Shen Fei: "Young Master Shen, why are you drinking with him? He's just a live-in son-in-law of the Qiu family. He is a person of low status and not worthy enough to accept a toast from you."

"How dare you! Mr. Chu is of noble birth.

How dare you insult him?!" Shen Fei slapped the table and roared angrily. Wang Qiao-Yu was so frightened by the outburst that her face turned white as sheet.

All at once, the Qius were stunned.

Mr. Chu?

Of noble birth?

Could it be that Shen Fei had been under the misunderstanding that Ye Fan was Mr. Chu?
