A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 674 The Emperor of Heaven Is Here

"Where's Daddy? Isn't he home yet?" asked Lu Wen-Jing eagerly in excitement as they prepared to head for the hotel.

But her father, Lu Ming-Ze, had yet to come home.

Qiu Huan called Lu Ming-Ze.

"What? You can't make it? Okay, go on with your work then. I'll tell the lass about it," said Qiu Huan. Then she quickly turned to look at Lu Wen-Jing.

"Jingjing, something cropped up at work, and he can't make it back this afternoon. Dad will celebrate your birthday with you when he gets back at night, okay?" said Qiu Huan as she smiled.

Lu Wen-Jing couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed. But she nodded and said obediently, "Okay then."

"Your father will keep his promise," said Qiu Huan as she comforted her.

They left for the hotel when they were ready.

"Honghong, how did the hotel booking go?" asked Qiu Huan.

Lu Hong had just finished putting on her makeup and was on the phone.

"Okay, darling, we're on our way down."

Then Lu Hong hung up.

She picked up her purse and chased them, "Jingjing, Auntie Huan, let's go. My fiance is downstairs. He was the one who booked the hotel. He found out it was Jingjing's birthday and insisted on celebrating together."

Qiu Huan was instantly surprised.

"What? Did Hai-Tao book the hotel? Why didn't you tell me about it? He shouldn't have gone through the trouble. Ask him how much it cost so that I can pay him for it."

Lu Hong smiled as she replied, "Auntie Huan, don't be shy. We will be family in the future, so it's no trouble at all. Moreover, my fiance is loaded. Enough. Auntie Huan, let's go downstairs." Lu Hong quickly pulled them to go downstairs.

They had to admit that Lu Hong was genuinely good to her cousin, Lu Wen-Jing. Lu Hong would turn up each year to specially celebrate Lu Wen-Jing's birthday.

This time, she even brought her fiance.

In no time, Lu Wen-Jing and Qiu Huan got onto the car.

Ye Fan also came downstairs to get into the car.

But Lu Hong stopped him.

"Sorry, my husband's car is full. Aren't you super capable? If you want to go, then make your way on your own," said Lu Hong with a cold smile as she deliberately embarrassed Ye Fan. Lu Hong was clearly still upset about Ye Fan overlooking her.

That wasn't the only thing, of course.

From the moment Lu Hong found out Ye Fan was a useless live-in husband, she had nothing but disdain for him.

The events that transpired yesterday was just the fuse.

What a joke.

He was a useless live-in husband.

How could he be so arrogant?

How dare he ignore Lu Hong?

Now he would have to pay for his arrogance!

Lu Hong sneered before getting onto the BMW smugly with a look of superiority on her face.

She appeared as though she was sitting on the throne.

"Hmm? Honghong, why didn't Fan get into the car?" asked Lu Wen-Jing quizzically the instant she noticed that Ye Fan didn't get into the car.

Lu Hong laughed and replied, "He wants to use the toilet and told us to head over first. It's okay, Jingjing. Ignore him. He's an adult, so he can replace his way there. We'll wait for him at the hotel." Lu Hong gestured for her fiance to drive the car as she spoke.

Lu Wen-Jing didn't put much thought into it. She thought Ye Fan might have wanted to use the toilet, so she left it to Lu Hong to take them to the hotel where they could wait for Ye Fan. But Lu Hong scoffed in her heart.

She didn't even give Ye Fan the address. How on earth could that live-in husband get to the hotel?

But was that really the case?

Ye Fan watched as the BMW pulled out and made a call.

"Lei San? Check a car plate license for me. Tell me where it's going."

"Mr Chu, you're putting me in the spot here. I can't track Yunzhou license plates. You should call Li Er for that," said Lei San bitterly over the phone in a nervous tone.

Lei San controlled Jingzhou. How could he track cars with Yunzhou license plates?

Ye Fan ignored him. Instead, he continued reading the license plate, "JP68..."

Hmm?

"A JP license plate?" said Lei San in shock. Then he trembled like lightning had struck him as he continued, "Mr...Mr Chu, are you in Jingzhou?"

A wave of panic surged over Lei San.

Moments later, Lei San hung up the phone.

Then Lei San got someone to get in touch with the traffic department as soon as possible.

"Master Lei, what's gotten into you? Is the sky falling? Why the anxiety?" asked his subordinate quizzically.

Instead, Lei San glared and said, "What would you know? The Emperor of Heaven is in Jingzhou. How can I remain calm? Tell the kitchen to prepare the grandest banquet tonight! It has to be topnotch in all aspects! Then stand outside and wait for Mr Chu to arrive."

To Lei San, Mr Chu's arrival in Jingzhou was undoubtedly a major deal.

How could he dare to get lazy as the leader of Jingzhou?

He promptly prepared a sumptuous feast for Mr Chu and did his utmost to be a worthy host tonight!

"Honghong, did you give Fan the address? Why isn't he here yet? Why don't I give him a call?" said Lu Wen-Jing worriedly in an instant. They had arrived at Hongxing Restaurant for some time, but Ye Fan was still nowhere to be seen.

"No, don't call. I'll do it. I happened to have taken his number earlier," said Lu Hong as she fought to call.

Then she pretended to make a phone call.

"Honghong, is everything okay? Where's Fan?" asked Lu Wen-Jing immediately.

Instead, Lu Hong replied, "Jingjing, you can stop waiting. He isn't coming. Fan says he's on the coach back to his hometown.

He asked me to say happy birthday to you."

What?

"Impossible! Fan promised to celebrate my birthday with me. How could he have left without a word?" said Lu Wen-Jing dejectedly in an instant. Tears welled in her beautiful eyes, and she was on the brink of

tears.

"Who knows? That was what he said in any case. Maybe he's too embarrassed to come and feels a sense of inferiority because my husband drives a posh car,

wears a luxury watch, and paid for dinner," said Lu Hong indifferently.

"Oh, really?" said a voice from behind suddenly as he chuckled softly.

Everyone instantly turned around in surprise.

A skinny silhouette quietly appeared.
