A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 644 Miss Qiu, Please Attend the Banquet!

"Mu-Cheng, don't tell me you're still thinking about that stupid asshole? He's just an idiot who doesn't know what's good for him! We shouldn't have been hopeful about him."

"Do you know what he said to me that day at Mount Yunyang? He said he's Mr Chu. He even said that he's in control of Jiangdong and nobody would dare to offend him. I nearly died laughing."

"Mr Chu is a hero to Jiangdong! How could he be a cowardly live-in son-in-law? If he said he was one of Mr Chu's bodyguards or something, I might believe him. But he actually dared to claim to be Mr Chu! How is he qualified to say something like that?!" ranted Su Qian angrily inside her house as she tried on several different dresses in front of the dressing table.

Su Qian was angry just thinking about what happened.

She had been kind enough to try to persuade Ye Fan to change his ways, but instead of being grateful, he started bragging about all this nonsense.

Of course Su Qian was furious.

"After New Year's Day, you'd better divorce him. With your looks, the number of rich guys waiting to marry you will form a line longer than a hundred meters. Or maybe I can replace you a rich one later at the Feast of the Sea and Sky?" Su Qian became extremely excited when she thought about the upcoming feast.

She was finally going to see the face of the Mr Chu she had admired for so long.

It had been so long since the name 'Mr Chu' started sprouting like a seed inside Su Qian's heart after the battle at Mount Tai.

Initially, she just admired him.

But now, Su Qian practically idolized this legendary figure.

In the past, she left some of these feelings for her Harmonica Prince.

But after she found out that the man playing the harmonica was actually Ye

Fan, Su Qian shifted all her feelings of admiration onto that Mr Chu whom she had only heard about and never seen.

"Ma Ming-Bo has already promised to get me tickets to the Feast of the Sea and Sky. This time, no matter what, I've got to see Mr Chu. I must let Mr Chu know that there's a young lady named Su Qian in this world who has been quietly watching and admiring him from afar."

Su Qian clenched her fists tightly and her eyes were filled with infatuation and excitement.

She looked just like those fangirls chasing after their favorite idols.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't seem to have heard Su Qian at all.

She sat by herself on the sofa as she hugged a cushion and was lost in thought.

She was in poor spirits and even though the sun shone on her, it only cast a shadow.

She looked like an abandoned stuffed toy in the corner and her face was covered with dejection and sadness.

Su Qian didn't know what to say when she saw what Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like.

"Mu-Cheng, cheer up. It's just one Ye Fan, isn't it? What's so good about him? If it doesn't work out then it doesn't, you can always replace someone better. Is it worth looking like a zombie for him? Listen to me, go and wash up and get changed so we can go for the banquet. I've told Ma Ming-Bo to get you a ticket too," Su Qian tried to console her.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng remained silent and sat there dejectedly like a woman who had just been dumped.

Su Qian was so annoyed at this. "Qiu Mu-Cheng, can't you pull yourself together? Where's the courage you had at the university debates back then? Where's the boldness you had when you reprimanded the directors in the office? Look at you now! You look like some defeated dog!"

Su Qian felt really upset that her best friend was just letting herself fall apart.

But at the same time, Su Qian was really curious about what was so great about that Ye Fan. How did he make her best friend fall head over heels in love with him?

DOONG DOONG!

Just when Su Qian was reprimanding Qiu Mu-Cheng, someone knocked on the door of the bungalow.

Su Qian immediately got all excited. "Mu-Cheng! It must be Ma Ming-Bo coming with the tickets!"

Su Qian hopped off the chair and just ran barefooted to open the door.

As she had hoped, it really was Ma Ming-Bo at the door.

After that embarrassing incident at Mount Yunyang, Ma Ming-Bo had been trying to replace ways and means to make himself look better in front of Su Qian.

The current situation was a rare chance, so Ma Ming-Bo went all out to help Su Qian to get tickets.

"How did it go, Ming-Bo? Did you get tickets?" asked Su Qian immediately when she saw Ma Ming-Bo.

Ma Ming-Bo smiled. "But of course!"

He pulled an invitation card out from his coat and waved it in front of Su Qian.

"Oh my! Ming-Bo, you're the best! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Su Qian almost went crazy when she saw the entrance ticket that read 'Feast of the Sea and Sky' and thanked him profusely. But after her moment of joy, Su Qian suddenly realized something. "You only have one ticket?"

Ma Ming-Bo nodded. "Qianqian, you know that everybody with the slightest bit of power is fighting tooth and nail to replace a way to go for this banquet, so even I had trouble getting one. It was already hard enough to get a ticket for the Su family, and this one is thanks to Master Er's son, Li Zi-Yang. Otherwise, you probably won't even get this one ticket. As for Mu-Cheng, I'm afraid..."

Ma Ming-Bo shook his head and sighed heavily.

Su Qian looked a little awkwardly at Qiu Mu-Cheng and said apologetically, "Mu-Cheng, I'm sorry, I don't think I can bring you along to the banquet after all."

Ma Ming-Bo only managed to get one ticket, and Su Qian wasn't going to give it up to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

So there was no way Qiu Mu-Cheng could attend the banquet anymore.

Qiu Mu-Cheng quietly replied, "It's alright, someone of my status isn't eligible to attend in the first place."

"You two can go ahead, don't worry about me," said Qiu Mu-Cheng flatly. But her voice sounded a little disappointed and self-deprecating.

For some reason, when she saw Ma Ming-Bo give Su Qian the ticket, she suddenly felt an urge to cry.

Every woman wanted a man who would protect and love her. Even though Su Qian had remained single for a long time now, she too found someone who was willing to take care of her. But nobody care about Qiu Mu-Cheng.

For that one moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng really felt as though she had been abandoned by the world.

"Alright then, Mu-Cheng, you wait here at home for me. I'll come back as quickly as I can once the banquet ends," said Su Qian slowly.

She pushed the door open and was ready to leave for the banquet with Ma Ming-Bo.

But just when they pushed the door open, a luxury car suddenly stopped in front of the house.

Several men in suits came walking out from the car.

"Is Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng in? We are here on Master Er's orders to deliver an invitation card to Miss Qiu. We cordially invite Miss Qiu to head for Haiyuan Restaurant to attend the Feast of the Sea and Sky! Miss Qiu, please come for the banquet," a low and thick voice resounded loudly.

Su Qian and Ma Ming-Bo were stunned.

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked up and was in great shock.

"M-mine?"
