A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 257 Guilt

Han Hai didn't expect Qiu Mu-Cheng to still be unwilling to divorce Ye Fan even till now.

He just couldn't understand it. How had Ye Fan bewitched this niece of his? That fellow had no money,

no power and worse still, he had been arrested. Didn't Qiu Mu-Cheng feel ashamed for having such a

useless bum with a poor record for a husband?

It wasn't just Han Hai. Even Han Li and Qiu Li were extremely furious when they heard what Qiu Mu-

Cheng said.

Even though Qiu Lei was normally a kindly man, his expression had turned grim too.

"Mu-Cheng, what did you say? Say it again if you dare." Qiu Lei's tone of voice was calm, but nobody

knew how furious he really was beneath those ominous sounding words.

Qiu Mu-Cheng rarely heard her father speak to her like this. She knew that her father was probably

really angry this time.

She didn't answer him and just hung her head with bloodshot eyes.

"Mu-Cheng, your mother used to take care of all your matters and I hardly interfere. But this time I have

to say something. The Qius have always been an upright family with a clear conscience, so I will not let

anyone who sullies the name of the family to remain here.”

"Ye Fan has accomplished nothing in the three years he married into the family. And now he has

actually committed a crime. He's neither talented nor morally upright. An immoral and useless bum

cannot remain in this family. Your mother can't take this embarrassment and neither can I."

"So tomorrow, you have to get divorced whether you like it or not. There's no room for negotiation!”

Qiu Lei spoke these words forcefully like it was a command. There was no way to turn things around.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes turned even redder and she was about to cry.

But even so, she held her tears in stubbornly and spoke up for Ye Fan, "Dad, you don't know Ye Fan.

He's talented too. He managed to pick several valuable rough precious stones at the auction."

Han Fei-Fei immediately snorted when she heard this. "Mu-Cheng, don't lie to your parents anymore.

That country bumpkin was obviously just claiming credit for someone else's efforts and was exposed

during the auction and embarrassed himself so badly. You knew about that. Besides, the one who

exposed this useless bum was actually your cousin, Qiu Mu-Ying, right?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to use this incident to change her parents' view on Ye Fan, but after Han Fei-Fei

said this, it made it worse and her parents were even more determined to make Ye Fan divorce Qiu

Mu-Cheng.

"What a piece of trash! This Ye Fan is already a useless bum and he still goes around embarrassing

us! Mu-Cheng, you're really blinded or something. Why do you still hang on to this idiot who tries to

show off? He's also a useless fool with poor morals! You must divorce him tomorrow!" Han Li shouted

angrily as her expression darkened.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to fight on. "Mum, how could you say that?"

"Ye Fan has been working hard for our family over the past three years. Tell me, has he done anything

to us? How could you say that Ye Fan has poor morals? Besides, he's only suspected of being involved

and nothing has been concluded yet. We don't even know what's happening, so how could you say that

he's immoral or that he's an outlaw?"

"You..." Han Li was so angry that Qiu Mu-Cheng was still speaking up for Ye Fan at this point.

But when Sun Yu-Hao saw that the fight was going to escalate, he tried to calm them down. "Mum,

don't be angry. It's not that Mu-Cheng doesn't want to divorce Ye Fan, she's just being sentimental."

"Ye Fan has lived here with Mu-Cheng and both of you for three years already after all. Even if he were

just a dog, you would feel attached to it by now. Ye Fan was just arrested and it looks bad on Mu-

Cheng if we immediately get married during this time. Tell you what, we can hold a wedding at a later

date, and just register first. Mum, Dad, are you ok with that?"

Sun Yu-Hao called them Mum and Dad so adoringly as if he was already their son-in-law.

After Sun Yu-Hao offered this compromise, Han Li and Qiu Lei took one step back and agreed that the

marriage could wait, but the divorce had to be done immediately.

After that, Sun Yu-Hao looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng. "Mu-Cheng, you asked me about what happened to

Ye Fan and I found out what happened."

"Apparently, Ye Fan went to a nightclub and fought with someone over a hostess. He beat the guy up

very badly and the poor man is still in the ICU and might die anytime. It's a bit hard to avoid jail time

since this is a violent crime. If the other party ends up dying, he would be sentenced even more

severely and might even have to pay compensation."

What?

"Compensation? What the hell?! He's gone round making trouble and we have to pick up the shit for

him? He can forget about making us pay any compensation for him!" shrieked Han Li in anger when

she heard that she might have to pay compensation.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's face paled and she looked at Sun Yu-Hao in disbelief. "Young Master Sun, is this

true?"

"Of course it's true. I heard that Ye Fan got to know the heir of the Shen family because the girls at this

nightclub introduced them. You know these sorts of places have girls who accompany these men to

drink and sing or even sleep, it's nothing unusual. Besides, Ye Fan is at an age where he would find it

hard to resist such urges. He has a beautiful wife at home but cannot be satisfied in that area at all, so

it's only natural for him to look for someone else."

"He's from the countryside and was probably brought up poorly anyway. Now that he's in the big city,

there are temptations everywhere and it's only normal that he's been led astray and fallen for these ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

temptations. But it's too bad that he's gotten into trouble now and he's even dragged all of you down

with him," said Sun Yu-Hao with a sigh.

Everyone else at the table started slamming the table and cursing at Ye Fan.

"This useless bum dared to take our family's money to have fun with women?!"

"He deserves to be hacked to pieces!"

"Mu-Cheng, why are you hanging onto this animal?!"

"There are all sorts of people in these nightclubs and that Ye Fan might even be infected with

something and spread it to us!"

"It's better to cut ties with a bastard like that as soon as possible," said Qiu Lei angrily.

Everyone else continued to spit and curse at Ye Fan, saying nasty things behind his back.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were red as she lowered her head and didn't say anything.

She was beginning to waver. Could what Sun Yu-Hao said be true?

After all, Ye Fan did seem pretty desperate a few days ago.

She had just baited him a little and he was completely set ablaze and she nearly...

After thinking about it, Sun Yu-Hao's words made sense too. Ye Fan was a young man who couldn't

find satisfaction in that area, so he went out to find someone else and got into trouble. Everything made

sense now.

After all, Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't think of any other reason why Ye Fan would have been arrested.

The last bit of feeling Qiu Mu-Cheng had for Ye Fan had faded quite a bit now.

There was disappointment written all over her beautiful face.

That was her disappointment in Ye Fan.

Sun Yu-Hao was secretly gleeful when he saw the look on her face.

He just needed to add a little more fuel to the fire to make Qiu Mu-Cheng completely disappointed in Ye

Fan.

So Sun Yu-Hao continued to sigh and said, "Mu-Cheng, even though I don't want to believe that Mr Ye

would do something so wicked, these are the facts before us, so don't hold out anymore hopes for him.

As far as I know, he's already been sentenced and he will have to serve ten years in jail. I don't think he

can come out any earlier, so don't tell me you're going to wait for him for ten years? And even after he's

released, he would have a criminal record, so there's no place for him in society at all."

"If you don't want to look too heartless, we can help to take care of his parents after we get married,"

Sun Yu-Hao pretended to sound really caring.

"Look, Mu-Cheng! Look at how magnanimous Yu-Hao is! Where are you going to find such a good man

like him? You should cherish him!" Han Li tried to persuade her daughter.

CLAP CLAP CLAP!

Just then, someone started clapping from outside the room, then a faint chuckle could be heard.

"Young Master Sun, what an excellent story you've come up with!"
