A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 98

"Dad, what is going on?"

"How come Mu-Cheng's family has so much clout? How come they have so many guests coming down to support them?"

"Could it be that Ye Fan is actually a VIP?"

Just then, Han He was ignoring Madam Han's unhappiness and musing over the scene in front of him.

"Hmph, what VIP? I think they are just borrowing clout from the Qius." Meanwhile, Han Yue continued to find all sorts of reasons to demean Ye Fan and his wife.

In the past, Han Yue's and Qiu Mu-Cheng's families had never gotten along. And today, Qiu Mu-Cheng had caused Han Yue's family to lose face. This naturally deepened the feud between the two families. So at this moment, Han Yue was doing her best to badmouth Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng in front of Madam Han.

"Mom, I think Ye Fan and Mu-Cheng are just out to humiliate you?"

"Look at how many guests they have invited today. My niece probably enjoys high status in the Qiu family. I bet she gets hefty monthly allowances from them.”

"But look at what she gave you for your birthday. A few catties of cheap tea leaves."

"I am afraid you no longer have a place in their hearts."

"And today is the day of your birthday banquet. But they are going around telling people that it is Qiu Mu-Cheng's birthday. Look, they have gathered so many guests here to celebrate her birthday."

"What is the meaning of this? Undoubtedly, they are doing this because they are dissatisfied with you. They are demonstrating their influence in order to put us in our place."

"They want us to lose face in front of all our guests!" said Han Yue as she fanned the flames of discord.

The more Madam Han listened, the angrier she got. Finally, she got so worked up that she threw her tea cup onto the floor.

"This Qiu Mu-Cheng is such an unfilial child! An unfilial child! She is worse than a beast-"

"What a traitorous child-"

Madam Han was so furious that her whole body started shaking.

"That's right, grandmother. An unfilial person like her should kneel down in front of you and beg for forgiveness!" Han Yu interjected.

But, just then, Han Fei-Fei spoke up in her cousin's defense. "No way. Mu-Cheng is not that sort of person. Mu-Cheng has always been a filial person. It must be Ye Fan. That bastard made her do this."

"Ye Fan is way too bold. He even dared to beat up Sheng Tian. There is nothing he wouldn't do. He must have encouraged Mu-Cheng to do this," Han Fei-Fei declared loudly.

"Mm?”

"Sheng Tian? Which Sheng Tian?"

When Han Hai heard this, he was taken aback for a moment. He turned around immediately and looked seriously at his daughter.

"The Sheng Tian of Sheng Tian Restaurant."

What?

"You mean the boss of Sheng Tian Restaurant?"

"That live-in son-in-law beat up Sheng Tian?"

Han Hai's eyes bulged in shock and his face turned pale immediately.

"Han Hai, what's wrong? Is this Sheng Tian someone important?" Madam Han asked. Han Hai's expression had aroused her suspicion.

No. He is not just somebody important.

He is very powerful! Powerful enough to make anyone despair!"

"Sheng Tian is Chen Tian-Jiao's underling. And Chen Tian-Jiao's uncle is the King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao!"

What?!!

All the Hans were shocked when Chen Ao's name was mentioned.

Han He stared with wide-opened eyes.

Han Yu's face turned pale. And even Mo Wen-Xuan started trembling.

As for Madam Han, she was so shocked that she cried out immediately.

"Sheng Tian is working for Master Ao?"

"Wretch! That wretch!"

"Go. Go get those two wretches in here right now!"

"Bastards! How dare they offend Master Ao's underling?"

The old lady was so utterly shocked that she started screaming in rage.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were chatting away with their guests.

Han Yu suddenly walked over and said coldly, "Qiu Mu-Cheng. Ye Fan.

Grandmother wants you two to go inside."

Qiu Mu-Cheng was taken aback. Why did her grandmother ask for them?

"We are happy to stay in the courtyard. So there is no need for us to go into the hall." Clearly, Qiu Mu-Cheng was still unhappy with her grandmother's earlier decision to make Ye Fan eat in the courtyard.

"Don't ask why. If you still care about grandmother, you will go in." After saying her piece, Han Yu turned around and went back into the hall.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Cheng followed her cousin into the hall. And, of course, Ye Fan went with her because he was worried about letting her go alone.

As for Shen Jiu-Yi and company, Ye Fan told them to wait in the courtyard.

"You wretch! Get down on your knees!"

Madam Han's rage-filled voice rang out in the hall, the moment Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng arrived.

"Grandmother, I don't understand?" Panic raced across Qiu Mu-Cheng's face as she looked doubtfully at her grandmother.

"You don't understand? I think you are pretending not to understand!"

"Fei-Fei has already told us everything.

That husband of yours went and beat up Sheng Tian."

"Are you going to deny this?" Han Yue asked angrily.
