A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 361 Played Out by Ye Fan

Nobody knew how angry Qiu Mu-Cheng was right now.

Ever since she tried to start a company all the way until its official opening, the Qius had tried to make things difficult for her for every step of the way.

She wouldn't have been so angry if it were someone else. But the ones targeting Mufan Real Estate were the relatives she thought were closest to her.

"Your grandfather is doing this to make you back off then go back to apologize to him, I suppose. After all, he's a very controlling man and you've made him angry. If you actually become successful, then he would feel very embarrassed. If any of the other family members did the same thing, then he would lose all authority over them," analyzed Ye Fan in a quiet voice as he looked at the invitation card.

"So in order to protect his own ego, he thinks it's ok to come down hard on his own granddaughter's company?" retorted Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily with teary eyes.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth with determination as she said, "The more they behave like this, the more I must make sure this opening ceremony does well."

"Tomorrow, I'm going out with my staff to every business in Yunzhou and invite everyone. If one business doesn't want to come, then I'll send out ten invites. Or 100 invites. If we send enough out, somebody will definitely come," said Qiu Mu-Cheng stubbornly. Her eyes shone with an indignant fierceness.

But Ye Fan just smiled gently. "Mu-Cheng, no need to go through such trouble."

"Mayor Han called me today and they invited us to the city's Entrepreneurs' Dinner that's happening tomorrow night. More than 100 business representatives will be there, so we can take this chance to invite them."

Ye Fan's words made Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes light up as she excitedly said, "What? Ye Fan, are you serious?"

"Mayor Han really invited us to the Entrepreneurs' Dinner?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were filled with joy but also some disbelief.

She didn't think that Mufan Real Estate was enough of a big shot to be invited to the city government's Entrepreneur's Dinner.

After all, her company was new and she wasn't some big shot. She couldn't understand why Mayor Han would invite them.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had heard about this Entrepreneurs' Dinner before.

Everyone invited to this dinner were the major companies that supported Yunzhou's economy. It was a gathering of famous and rich companies that had millions in assets.

Master Qiu always dreamt of being invited to go, but he never got his wish even after many years. Qiushui Logistics had always been too small, so they couldn't even get an invitation.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't expect to be able to fulfil this wish that her grandfather couldn't for so many years.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng was both shocked and surprised by this. She shook Ye Fan and kept asking if he was serious about it.

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed. He quietly said, "I'm serious. If all goes well, Mayor Han will probably call you in a while, so just be patient and wait for his call."

"Ok," Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded and looked with great anticipation at her phone. Then she glared at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, you'd better not be lying to me, otherwise you can forget about ever getting into my bed."

Ye Fan immediately laughed sadly. "It's as if I could get into your bed as long as I didn't lie to you."

"

"Hmm? What did you say?" Qiu Mu-Cheng glared harder at him.

Ye Fan quickly shook his head and said he didn't say anything.

Ye Fan returned to the study and read for a while on the bed before dozing off.

The next day, Ye Fan opened his eyes to meet with Qiu Mu-Cheng's furious eyes staring nastily at himself. There seemed to be murder written all over her face.

She hadn't even changed out of her pajamas and her fierce and aggressive expression made her look like she was going to swallow Ye Fan whole.

"Oh my god! Qiu Mu-Cheng, are you nuts? Are you trying to frighten me to death?"

Ye Fan got a shock. He thought that someone had broken into the house and was about to fight back. Thankfully he managed to stop himself, otherwise Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was doomed.

"Ye Fan, you little asshole! How dare you lie to me! You're doomed! I'm going to kill you!" Qiu Mu-Cheng ignored Ye Fan's grumbling and started shouting angrily.

She picked up a pillow on the bed and started whacking Ye Fan.

What happened was that Qiu Mu-Cheng had waiting next to her phone for the entire night after hearing what Ye Fan said, but nobody called her.

Later she figured that Ye Fan must have played her out.

She had been happy for nothing and she ended up staying up all night too. Of course she was furious!

She was ready to beat Ye Fan to death!

"That's impossible! Mayor Han told me himself yesterday! I really didn't lie to you! Wifey, wait a moment, I'll call him now."

Ye Fan then gave Han Dong-Min a call.

But Han Dong-Min's phone was turned off.

Ye Fan turned green in the face immediately.

"Enough, you don't have to pretend anymore. I knew I couldn't count on you when it mattered. I was the stupid one. Mayor Han is so busy, so why would he call you and why would he invite small fry like us to the Entrepreneurs' Dinner?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng sighed disappointedly. After she had vented all her anger, she walked out from Ye Fan's room.

But just when Qiu Mu-Cheng walked out, she ran into Han Li on her way to the bathroom.

Han Li immediately shrieked.

"Qiu Mu-Cheng! Did you...did you sleep with that useless bum last night?! You stupid girl! How could you do something like that?! Why can't you respect yourself more?!"

When Han Li spotted Qiu Mu-Cheng walk out from Ye Fan's room in her pajamas, her eyes immediately turned red.

She was so furious, her entire body was shaking.

If Qiu Mu-Cheng became pregnant as a result, how was her daughter going to marry a rich man's son in the future?

"Mum, what are you talking about?" Qiu Mu-Cheng's face turned red and sounded embarrassed. She quickly explained the whole thing to Han Li. "Are you telling me the truth?"

"Of course I am. If you don't believe me, you can touch my blanket, it's still warm."

After listening to Qiu Mu-Cheng's explanation, Han Li finally calmed down before starting to blame Qiu Mu-Cheng for being stupid and gullible.

"Seriously you're so dumb sometimes. Why would Mayor Han call that useless bum personally? That bum was just having you on, and only a brainless woman like you would believe him. Besides, don't you know what you're worth? Your grandfather never got a chance to attend the Entrepreneurs' Dinner and you think Mayor Han would invite you? Dream on! Alright now, eat breakfast and go to work," Han Li chided her daughter.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't defend herself. She got changed, ate simply and left the house.

Ye Fan left the house shortly after that, but he was hopping mad now.

"Han Dong-Min, are you asking for a beating? How dare you play me out?!"

Ye Fan angrily gave Han Dong-Min another call.
