A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 356 Real Panic

Chu Wen-Fei placed his hands behind his back as he walked out and spoke coldly to Shen Meng as if he was ordering Shen Meng about. And just when everyone thought that Chu Wen-Fei's appearance would resolve everything, Shen Meng actually kicked him in the guts.

BAM!

He kicked Chu Wen-Fei to the floor.

Chu Wen-Fei was completely stunned by this attack.

Qiu Mu-Ying screamed from fright.

Everyone watching was also frozen to the spot.

What was going on now?

Wasn't this Chu Wen-Fei some big shot?

Was Mr Shen crazy?

How could he kick a big shot like that?

"You asshole! How dare you kick my husband?! You're doomed for sure! My husband is Mr Chu and your boss is always so respectful to him. But you have been so bold as to actually kick my husband?!" Qiu Mu-Ying screamed nastily at Shen Meng like she had gone mad.

But Shen Meng just laughed and looked at them like they were idiots. "I'm kicking you two all right!"

"Two fucking idiots. You've actually broken vases worth a few million bucks! You must pay me that $8 million! If you can't, then all three of you can forget about leaving this place!" Shen Meng's furious voice echoed through the shop.

But of course Qiu Mu-Ying wasn't going to back down. She continued to shout back, "You can forget about fleecing us!"

"These things are only worth a few hundred and you dare to say they're $8 million? That's extortion! Just you wait! I'll call the cops now to arrest you!" shouted Qiu Mu-Ying loudly and threatened to call the cops.

Just then, a group of people walked in from outside Women's Country.

"Mr Shen, have you considered my offer to buy those four vases of yours? If you can't bear to part with them, we can still discuss this further. Or what about if I offer you $10 million?" Gu Long-En walked in and started calling out to Shen Meng from afar.

"Hmm? Where are the vases? Where are those four antique vases?"

After walking into the shop, Gu Long-En suddenly realized that the place where the vases used to be were now completely empty and he got a shock.

Shen Meng sighed and gritted his teeth as he replied, "Don't talk about it. These idiots here broke everything."

What?!

Gu Long-En felt a terrible pain in his heart when he heard these words.

"Which idiots? These are artistic treasures of our country's culture and they're gone just like that? That's a crime against the country! A crime against the country!"

Gu Long-En sighed deeply and sadly as he looked at the shattered ceramic pieces all over the floor.

Everyone watching was in shock.

"Isn't this...isn't this Master Gu Long-En?"

"He's the chairman of Yunzhou's Antiques Association, an artist of Jiangdong and a master in appraisal!"

"Since he said that those vases were treasures, then they were genuinely antiques, right?"

"This family is in deep trouble now."

Everyone started murmuring among themselves and started looking gleefully at Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was also surprised and she looked at Ye Fan. "Ye Fan, what's going on?"

"Didn't Mr Shen say that they were all fakes? Why are they real now?"

Ye Fan didn't answer her directly and just told Qiu Mu-Cheng not to ask too much and watch the good show first.

And sure enough, Qiu Mu-Ying felt like she had been struck by lightning, and her eyes widened significantly.

This time she was really in a panic.

She couldn't believe it. These vases were really antiques?!

"That's...that's impossible! That can't be true! Qiu Mu-Cheng broke a vase earlier and she only had to pay $200! How can something that costs $200 be an antique? You're putting on an act! All of you!" shouted Qiu Mu-Ying angrily. She refused to let it go.

Shen Meng gritted his teeth angrily. "How much I make others pay is my right! That has nothing to do with whether the vase is an antique or not!"

"I didn't even want Miss Qiu to pay me a single cent! If that happened, are you going to say that this vase isn't worth anything? What a joke! You're really an idiot!"

"If you don't believe me, then surely you'd believe Master Gu Long-En, right? He's a famous appraiser and artist, and he's also the chairman of the Antiques Association! He's touched pieces that cost millions of dollars and someone like you would think that Master Gu would throw his reputation away over a few million?"

"You're still insisting on your way even though you're clearly wrong? Fine! I'll call the cops now and let them handle this!"

Shen Meng was so angry. This was the first time he had ever met anybody as ridiculous as this.

After hearing all this, Qiu Mu-Ying immediately wilted and didn't have any of her arrogance and anger anymore.

She was clearly scared now and afraid that that cops would really throw her into jail.

Qiu Mu-Ying had no choice but to accept the reality in front of her and tried to negotiate the compensation.

"Mr Shen, but isn't $8 million a little too much? Take it as a favor to my husband and we'll settle this with $80,000, alright? Don't worry, my husband and I will always remember this favor," Qiu Mu-Ying stopped shrieking uncontrollably and started to negotiate in a friendly tone with Shen Meng.

"80,000?! I can't believe you have the cheek to suggest that!" Shen Meng flew into a rage when he heard Qiu Mu-Ying say such shameless words.

She was offering to pay $80,000 for something worth $8 million?!

Who would agree to this?!

And she even talked about doing them a favor?!

Why should he do them any favors? Who did they think they were?

They were just two shameless things!

Shen Meng was so angry that he felt an urge to slap her. She was seriously shameless beyond belief.

But after his initial rage, Shen Meng calmed himself down and stopped himself from doing that.

He already felt like he had gone too far when he kicked Chu Wen-Fei earlier.

After all, these two were relatives of Mr Chu, and so Shen Meng felt that he should have considered Ye Fan's feelings and not assault Chu Wen-Fei.

If Mr Chu got angry, he might get into trouble.

But just when Shen Meng was still feeling a little wary, Ye Fan suddenly laughed and spoke up, "Mrs Chu, don't be like this. Didn't you claim to be from some really rich family? Didn't you say that you had to be an example earlier and make sure we don't take advantage of others?"

"And now it's just a few million and you can't bear to part with the money? What happened to all that self-righteous talk about making sure justice is served?"

"Why is it different now when the same thing happens to yourselves?" said Ye Fan in a very calm voice. The mockery in his voice was extremely apparent and he didn't leave them any saving grace.

It was just a few words, but Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei were both dumbstruck and their faces were both bright red. They didn't know how to refute him and could only hang their heads in silence. Ye Fan's words had made them deeply embarrassed and they felt terribly ashamed.
