A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 89

"What are you standing there for?"

"Get over there and help them carry the stuff in."

Han Yu and her husband had brought along a lot of presents. The fine wine, like the Wuliangye, took up two boxes by themselves and, together with the health tonics, they almost filled up the back of the car.

At this moment, Han He remembered that Ye Fan was still around, so he ordered the latter to move the presents into the house.

"That's right!"

"Can't you read the mood?"

"Can't you see that my daughter and son-in-law are here? Get yourself over here and help them carry the presents!"

"Were you expecting to just freeload off us and not do any work in return?" Han Yue asked disdainfully.

Ye Fan frowned in displeasure. But they were his elders and disobeying them would make things difficult for his wife. So he got up and went over to help carry the presents.

"Uncle Hai, how are you doing?"

"Fei-Fei, you are getting prettier and prettier~” After her arrival, Han Yu started making small talk with her relatives.

Han Fei-Fei giggled and said, "No way. No matter how pretty I get, I will never be as pretty as Mu-Cheng."

The Han family had many offsprings, but none was fairer than Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Han Yu frowned surreptitiously when she heard this.

No woman liked to be told that another woman was prettier; even if the other woman was her own cousin.

"Yu, you are here." Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng walked up and greeted Han Yu.

"Yes, Mu-Cheng." Han Yu smiled politely and asked, "Where is your mother? Is she not here? Did you come by yourself?"

Before Qiu Mu-Cheng could answer, her aunt, Han Yue, sneered and said: "Your aunt is afraid of losing face so she is not coming. Instead, she sent her live-in son-in-law and your cousin here to celebrate your grandmother's birthday."

"Live-in son-in-law? Mom, what live-in son-in-law?" Mo Wen-Xuan asked doubtfully. He had just walked over and overheard the conversation.

"Wen-Xuan, you haven't heard this yet, but your cousin's husband is a live-in son-in-law."

"Oh, so he is my in-law?" Mo Wen-Xuan said in realization.

"Bullshit. Wen-Xuan, he doesn't deserve to be your in-law. He is just a useless country bumpkin without any skills. Look, he is over there carrying those boxes." Han Yue smiled disdainfully and pointed at Ye Fan.

It was Mo Wen-Xuan's and Han Yu's first time seeing Ye Fan. And once they had seen him, the husband-and-wife duo shook their heads in laughter. They did not even bother to greet Ye Fan, but merely looked at him with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

Well, since he was just a useless person from a poor family, there was no reason for anyone to respect him.

"By the way, Wen-Xuan, do you know what birthday present he gave your grandmother? A few catties of home-grown tea leaves. I bet they are only worth a few dozen yuan. Isn't he ashamed to give such a cheap gift?"

And then, Han Yue started to recount earlier events to her daughter and son-in-law.

"That fellow is too prideful. Just now, I only criticized him a little and he actually talked back to me in front of everybody. He even accused me of trying to murder your grandmother. He was so forceful that he nearly scared me out of my wits."

Han Yu frowned when she heard this. "Mom, what did you say? That live-in son-in-law humiliated you? He sure has guts!"

Han Yu flew into a rage when she heard that Ye Fan had talked back to her mother.

Just then, Han Hai laughed and said, "Alright, Han Yu, don't get mad. Your grandmother has already told him off. Look. Isn't he more obedient now?"

Mo Wen-Xuan nodded and consoled Han Yue. "Mom, there is no need for you to stoop to his level. Useless people like him tend to get angry easily. You don't have to mind him."

"That's right, that's right. Yu and Wen-Xuan, quick, come in and have a seat. Don't just stand around." Just then, Han Fei-Fei chimed in with a smile and ushered the new arrivals into the hall.
