A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 347 A Chicken Dreaming of Becoming the Queen

"Wen-Fei, don't worry, I'll definitely do well tonight. Don't you know how amazing your wife is at handling others? Look at my grandfather. He used to be protective of Qiu Mu-Cheng, but look at him now. I've coaxed him so well that now I'm the apple of his eye!"

"I'll definitely do well in front of my mother-in-law. I'm not only going to leave a good impression, I'm also going to work hard to make her like me. I'm going to let her feel proud of having a daughter-in-law like me!" said Qiu Mu-Ying confidently with a smile in her eyes as she quietly clenched her fists.

Quite clearly, Chu Wen-Fei wasn't the only one who was concerned about tonight's dinner. Qiu Mu-Ying herself also treated this dinner with great importance.

After all, whether she could marry Chu Wen-Fei or not, or whether she could become a rich man's wife or not, or whether she could inherit the Chu family's billion dollar fortune in the future, depended on tonight. The attitude of Chu Wen-Fei's parents towards her was important because it would determine her position in the Chu family in the future.

Since it was something that would affect how well she was going to do in life, it was only natural that Qiu Mu-Ying placed great importance on this dinner.

So before Chu Wen-Fei's mother came for dinner, Qiu Mu-Ying decided to come here first and buy something for her future mother-in-law.

As they spoke, Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying walked into the shop in front of them, Women's Country.

"Dear, what do you think of this jade bangle? Is it suitable for our mother?" asked Qiu Mu-Ying as she held up a jade bangle in front of the counter and asked Chu Wen-Fei.

"It's...nice, but a little expensive. It's $880,000 and I don't think it's necessary to buy my mum such an expensive gift." This amount wasn't much to Chu Wen-Fei's family, but it was quite a huge sum to Qiu Mu- Ying, so he was worried that she was spending too much on a gift for his mother.

But Qiu Mu-Ying just smiled and replied, "Dear, it's alright. This is my first time meeting my mother-in-law, so as her daughter-in-law, I should buy something more expensive to show my sincerity."

"I think I'll go with this one. Don't pay for it later, I'll pay for it myself since I should show my filial piety."

Qiu Mu-Ying said these words very casually, but it was true that she couldn't really bear to part with $880,000.

But she didn't have a choice. In order to marry into a rich family, Qiu Mu-Ying had to sacrifice some first.

She had managed to profit off quite a bit from the project she had with Hongqi Group, so even though $880,000 made her feel some pain, she could afford it.

When Chu Wen-Fei heard what Qiu Mu-Ying said, he immediately felt touched.

He hugged his wife and said deeply, "Yingying, I'd like to thank you for your filial piety on behalf of my mum. Marrying such a wonderful woman like you is my honor, and it is the Chu family's honor too." "I believe that after tonight, my parents will definitely change their attitude towards you and they'll really dote on you."

The two of them didn't care that they were in public and just started French kissing.

After that, Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying were ready to make payment and leave the shop.

"Wen-Fei, there are bridal gowns over there! Since your mum hasn't arrived yet, let's take this time to have a look. We'll have to look at these eventually anyway," said Qiu Mu-Ying excitedly. Chu Wen-Fei didn' protest and walked over with her.

But after they walked over, Qiu Mu-Ying spotted a familiar back view.

"Hmm? Isn't that Qiu Mu-Cheng? And that useless bum?" Qiu Mu-Ying immediately frowned upon seeing them, but she soon broke into a smile after that.

"Dear, let's go over and have a look," snorted Qiu Mu-Ying coldly and she walked over.

The sales assistant was introducing the bridal gown in front of her to Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Miss, you've got a really keen eye. This bridal gown is the most exquisite one we have here. Look at this gorgeous phoenix headdress! It exudes great elegance and status. Such headdresses were traditionally only worn by royalty. If you are all made up on your wedding day and you add on this headdress, I'm sure you would immediately become the queen over all the world for that day! You will shine with incredible glory!" said the sales assistant with a very convincing voice as her voice rang out gently into Qiu Mu-Cheng's ears.

For a moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart was really moved.

It wasn't only because this headdress symbolized classiness, but more because the gown was really beautiful and the design was really intricate, so it had really captured Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart. But just when Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to ask how much the gown cost, a cold laugh erupted from behind her.

"Oh my my, a phoenix headdress? Mu-Cheng, you're really ambitious, huh? You're destined to be a chicken but you're dreaming of becoming queen? Never mind the headdress itself. Do you think you're worthy to wear this? You probably can't even afford to buy this gown!"

Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei appeared in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng as Qiu Mu-Ying laughed. She looked mockingly at Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't be bothered with Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei. After glancing at them, she turned back and pretended she didn't see them at all.

Qiu Mu-Ying didn't get angry and just looked at the sales assistant as she smiled faintly. "Miss, why don't you tell my cousin here about the price, then she can let this one go."

"Miss, there is a 9 carat ruby on this headdress and the upper part is sewn with gold and silver thread. This gown is designed by one of the top designers of Shen Group, and put together by a few dozen tailors and everything is hand embroidered, so the price is a little on the high side. It is retailing for $13,140,000, and the numbers 1314 are chosen since they sound like the Chinese words for eternity. So we hope that the newlywed couple can be together for eternity. But of course, I believe that this price is definitely way below how dignified you really are."

This sales assistant was really good at talking and she looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng with deep respect and a friendly smile.

It was clear that this sales assistant thought that Qiu Mu-Cheng was a rich lady who was about to marry into a wealthy family.

After all, regardless of poise, charisma or figure, Qiu Mu-Cheng was unparalleled.

The sales assistant felt that someone with such looks and elegance couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.

"Dignified? Young lady, don't insult this word. Do you know what sort of husband this so called 'dignified' lady in front of you has married?" Qiu Mu-Ying shook her and laughed as her voice dripped with

sarcasm.

The sales assistant was instantly curious. "You mean it's not some Young Master of a rich family?"

PFFFT!

Qiu Mu-Ying couldn't hold it in and just started chortling.

"A Young Master from a rich family? Young Master my foot! He's just a useless bum! Her husband married into her family and he's even from the countryside! Never mind $10 million, I don't think he can even cough up $1,000! He's just living off her! If you don't believe me, you can ask if they

can afford this gown!"
