A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 97

Qiu Mu-Cheng had already lost herself in a daze. Standing in front of her were some of the richest magnates in Jiangdong and, in her hands, she was holding some very priceless gifts. This all felt like a dream to her.

Her brain buzzed and her mind went blank. She could not figure out what was going on. Panic filled her eyes as she looked around her in a daze.

Could it be that these men were really here for Ye Fan?

But how was this possible?

Even Qiu Mu-Cheng could not bring herself to believe this. Earlier, she had been surprised by Shen Jiu-Yi's visit, but it was still within the realm of believability.

Perhaps the Shens had come to repay Ye Fan's favor.

But what about Chen Qing-Quan and Liu Biao?

They were two of the richest men in

Jingzhou!

Nobody knew just how shocked Qiu Mu-Cheng was feeling at this moment. As she was receiving the gifts from Chen Qing-Quan and company, she could not even muster up the courage to turn them down. She simply sat there in a daze.

At this moment, Shen Fei was feeling smug. After a while, he looked chailengingly at Mo Wen-Xuan and company. The rich brats from Jingzhou, who had earlier been flaunting their power and treating Ye Fan disdainfully, were now thoroughly frightened out of their wits.

Chen Hai-Sheng and Liu Zhao-Ran had realized that things were not going to turn out well so, at this moment, they were trying to sneak out of the house.

"Eh, don't go away?"

"Weren't you two acting all high and mighty earlier? Why are you like this now?"

Shen Fei walked over to block their way. And then, he continued to question them.

"What now, Young Master Chen? And Young Master Liu?”

"Now, do you still think Mr. Ye is a country bumpkin?"

"Now, do you still think Mr. Ye is insignificant and low class?"

Shen Fei laughed haughtily. His rapid series of questions rolled over Chen Hai-Sheng and Liu Zhao-Ran like a thunderstorm, and the pair paled immediately.

"Mm? Hai-Sheng?"

"Zhao-Ran?"

"Why are you here?"

Chen Qing-Quan and Liu Biao were slightly surprised to find their son and nephew there.

"Fine, you guys come over here." "We will pay our respect to Mr. Chu together!"

It seemed that the two magnates wanted to introduce their son and nephew to Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan put down his tea cup and laughed coldly. "Mr. Chen, please don't. Your son just called me a low-class country bumpkin. Considering my low status, it would be inappropriate for Young Master Chen and Young Master Liu to pay their respect to me.”

"Also, Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu, please take back your gifts. I am not worthy of them."

The expression on Chen Qing-Quan's and Liu Biao's faces changed instantly. Right away, they turned to glare at Chen Hai-Sheng and Liu Zhao-Ran.

"You unfilial son! What is going on here?”

"Tell me! Now!"

Chen Hai-Sheng and Liu Zhao-Ran were so frightened by the outburst that they nearly wet their pants. The pair kept their heads bowed and dared not speak a single word.

"Speak!"

Chen Qing-Quan screamed again.

Finally, cowed by their elders' authoritative presence, both Chen Hai-Sheng and Liu Zhao-Ran broke down and revealed what had just happened.

As Chen Qing-Quan and Liu Biao listened to the recounting, they grew more and more sombre. When the narration reached the part where the Jingzhou princes called Ye Fan a country bumpkin and forced him to apologize, Chen Qing-Quan finally exploded with rage. He walked over and kicked his son to the floor.

"You unfiIial son! How many times must I tell you not to hang around that wastrel from the Mo family?"
