A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 186 The Difference Between People

What?!

"Wenxue, are you serious? I have to go for this auction now. I have to get that mysterious item that Mr

Chu is putting up!” declared Su Qian confidently as she clasped her hands together tightly.

Han Wenxue looked at her and just shook her head as she laughed. "Qianqian, you're thinking of this

matter too simply. Everyone's eye is on this auction and all the big shots in Jiangdong are coming for

this auction, so it's really going to be hard to get a ticket.”

"You have to be worth at least a few billion to even step into the auction. And that's not a guarantee

either. Thankfully my husband is well connected and knows all the right people, so we managed to get

two tickets long ago."

Han Wenxue even carefully took the two entry tickets out from her bag as she spoke and waved them

in front of Su Qian.

"Wow! Your husband is amazing!

"He actually managed to get tickets?!"

"I'm so envious!"

All the ladies around Han Wenxue exclaimed politely and seemed so envious.

Su Qian's eyes were gleaming too, but she didn't try to fawn over Han Wenxue like the other ladies.

Instead, she made a call to her older brother.

She knew that Han Wenxue was purposely showing off how powerful her husband was so that

everyone would fawn over her and make her feel good. But Su Qian wasn't letting her have her way. If

Han Wenxue could get tickets, she could get tickets too!

"Hey, I heard that Mr Chu is going for the Mid-Autumn Festival Auction. Get me some tickets? Just two

will do," Su Qian pleaded with her brother.

"How could you say such things! I don't care, I want tickets!"

Su Qian threw a tantrum but didn't get her way. She hung up with a dejected look on her face.

The smile on Han Wenxue's face only grew brighter now. "Qianqian, I told you. Only the most powerful

and wealthiest people get to go for this auction. Most people won't be able to."

Han Wenxue had said these words so arrogantly as if she was some princess.

"But...I have two more additional tickets here. So if you want one, let me know?"

"Really?!"

"Wenxue, give them to me! I want to widen my horizons too!"

"Wenxue, me too!!"

All the ladies around Han Wenxue started fighting over the tickets and they were clearly trying hard to

butter up to Han Wenxue.

But Su Qian clenched her teeth in anger when she saw that snobbish and smug look on Han Wenxue's

face.

Han Wenxue was clearly doing this on purpose. She wanted others to beg her.

Su Qian didn't care for her stupid tickets.

She wasn't going to beg anyone for such a thing.

She was going home to think of something. She was sure she could get her hands on a ticket.

Su Qian turned her nose up and was prepared to leave. She didn't want to stay here and watch how

disgustingly conceited that Han Wenxue could get.

"Chengcheng, let's go."

"Chengcheng, what are you doing?!"

Just as Su Qian was about to call Qiu Mu-Cheng to leave with her, she realized that Qiu Mu-Cheng

ignored her and walked towards Han Wenxue instead.

Qiu Mu-Cheng gritted her teeth as if she had made a very important decision. She looked at Han

Wenxue and said in a low voice, "Hello, Mrs Lin. Could I have one of those auction tickets?”

"Oh? You want a ticket too?" Han Wenxue laughed and asked Qiu Mu-Cheng back sarcastically.

There was great disdain and contempt as well as mocking in that voice. It was as if Han Wenxue had

heard the biggest joke in her life.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng continued, "I can buy the ticket from you, as long as you're willing to sell it.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked up at Han Wenxue. There was a strange determination in her pretty eyes.

"Oh my, you even want to buy the ticket from me! Someone with a live-in husband wants to buy a ticket

from me! HAHA!" The glee on Han Wenxue's face became even more apparent.

All the other beautifully dressed ladies with her laughed along. Their sarcastic laughter was really ear

piercing.

"Miss Qiu, my husband had to give someone important a treat and even gave some presents away in

order to get these tickets, and he spent nearly $2 million on everything. But since Miss Qiu wants to

buy the tickets, I'll give you a discount and sell it to you for $1 million. How's that? Can you afford it?”

Han Wenxue continued to mock Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately paled.

She fell silent and finally hung her head.

She had decided earlier that as long as it cost less than $100,000, she would buy it. But she had

underestimated the value of this ticket.

"HAHA! Miss Qiu, why are you silent? Can't afford it? You can't even afford a million and you dare to

attend a high class event like this? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself? I told you already that

everyone attending the auction are the most powerful and wealthiest of Jiangdong, and you've got to

be worth at least a few billion. You're just an ordinary person and the wife of a live-in husband no less.

Listen to me, you're never going to enter that circle. Even if you go, you'd just be asking to be

humiliated and you'd just embarrass yourself," Han Wenxue continued to laugh at her without holding

back and used a haughty voice to talk to Qiu Mu-Cheng. But the sarcasm and mocking in her voice

was so apparent.

It was as if a rich and powerful woman was looking down at a beggar.

She didn't even leave Qiu Mu-Cheng a single shred of dignity.

"Exactly! She wants to attend this sort of event with her status?"

"Can't she tell that she's not eligible at all?"

"She's too poor to even pay $1 million up front and she wants to get a ticket from Wenxue?" All the

other ladies around Han Wenxue started mocking Qiu Mu-Cheng as well.

Qiu Mu-Cheng bent her head even more now. Her face was completely pale and she felt a sense of

helplessness wash over her.

"Enough! All of you have gone too far! How could you say such things! Mu-Cheng, ignore them. Let's

go!" Su Qian couldn't stand watching her BFF get ridiculed like this. She got angry and yelled at them

as she tugged at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But Han Wenxue continued to laugh coldly. "Qianqian, you're the daughter of the Su family, you know?

Why aren't you taking care of your own reputation? I can't believe you're so close to this worthless

woman.”

"Aren't you afraid that she'll bring you down and embarrass the Su family?"

"Who I make friends with is none of your business! Why do you care?!" Su Qian retorted coldly as she

glared at her furiously.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just kept quiet, but she was really feeling terrible inside.

Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly realized how lowly and worthless she was compared to the rich and powerful.

They could get tickets so easily, while she couldn't buy one even if she gave everything she had.

Perhaps that was the difference between people.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was filled with disappointment.

"Qianqian, forget it, let's go." Qiu Mu-Cheng dejectedly turned around and was about to leave.

But just at this moment, several men in suits and leather shoes walked into the mall. After looking

around for a bit, they started walking towards Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Hello, are you Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng?"

"Uh...yes I am. Why are you looking for me?" Qiu Mu-Cheng was puzzled and didn't know why these

people were looking for her.

Jin Bao exhaled deeply in great relief when he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng nod. He excitedly said, "My Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

goodness, Miss Qiu, we've finally found you. This was a tough mission!"
