A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 284 Women Can't Be Too Practical

The moment she saw Ye Fan, Yang Qian was stunned.

She almost shouted involuntarily.

How could she forget the time when Ye Fan got so angry that he kicked the restaurant manager at a

restaurant in Yunzhou's eastern suburbs? He even disregarded the owner, Xu Bao, the man that

dominated east Yunzhou. Even Master Li Er of Yunzhou had to invite him personally in the end.

Till now, Yang Qian couldn't forget the way dozens of burly men in suits had bowed to him respectfully

and called Ye Fan, Mr Chu.

The restaurant was extremely quiet at that time so the impressive scene had shocked many on the

spot.

A few days ago, Yang Qian went by the restaurant and noticed a change in his name.

Shengtian Restaurant was now closed.

Even Xu Bao disappeared without a trace despite wielding so much power before.

She heard Master Li Er dismissed him from his position and nobody knew whether he was alive even.

So just because he had offended Ye Fan, one of Master Li Er's most valued associates fell from power.

It was evident that Ye Fan was someone of tremendously high status and power.

Even Master Li Er flattered him so much.

So Yang Qian concluded that the man whom Su Qian kept calling a country bumpkin was, in fact,

someone who was secretly hiding his true identity! NôvelDrama.Org © content.

But when she saw Ye Fan attending the art exhibition alone with Su Qian, Yang Qian's heart sank.

Did Su Qian stay close to him because she already knew Ye Fan's true identity? Was she secretly

undermining Qiu Mu-Cheng and already dating Ye Fan?

The thought of it made Yang Qian regret.

She regretted not coming up with that first.

At that time, she thought that since Ye Fan was married, there was probably no chance even if she

threw herself at him.

But on second thought, she was foolish then!

It was only a marriage. They could always get divorced.

Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't have any children anyway.

If she had quickly taken the chance to profess her love to Ye Fan back then, her charisma and beauty,

might have won him over, and the one visiting this art exhibition with him would be her and not Su

Qian.

"One bad decision has made me lose this game and now Su Qian got the chance to swoop in."

A wave of remorse swept over Yang Qian. She felt as though she missed the opportunity to reach the

pinnacle of her life.

"Mr Chu? What Mr Chu? Qianny, who are you calling?" asked Su Qian quizzically when she heard

what Yang Qian said.

Yang Qian was stunned, "Isn't your boyfriend Mr Chu?"

"Nonsense! What boyfriend? He's not my boyfriend at all! He's just a poor country bumpkin, so how

can he be good enough for me? What's more, Yang Qian, didn't I tell you at the restaurant the last

time? He's Mu-Cheng's live-in husband! He's lived off Mu-Cheng for the past three years and she's

suffered so much because of him.”

"This pauper is destined to be poor, I tell you. I heard when he went to an auction; he had the dumb

luck to get his hands on a $200 million treasure after only spending $2,000 on it. But before he even

warmed it up, someone snatched it from him. So he lost the treasure and a few thousand bucks at the

same time. Whether or not we are rich or poor isn't solely due to our abilities, it has to do with our fates.

For example, both of us are born to be rich, while some others are just destined to be poor. I just pity

Mu-Cheng for getting

dragged down by this."

Su Qian sounded sympathetic about her bestie's predicament as she shook her head and sighed.

When Yang Qian heard her, the deep regret in her heart earlier instantly dissipated. She was now

beside herself with joy.

"Qianqian, are you saying you aren't dating Mr Chu?" asked Yang Qian again excitedly.

Su Qian was a little lost, "Qianny, what's gotten into you? Why are you so excited? Moreover, this live-

in husband is called Ye Fan. Please don't get it wrong."

Yang Qian then looked at Ye Fan. But he only smiled politely and introduced himself, "Are you Mu-

Cheng's classmate? Hi, I'm her husband, Ye Fan."

"Hello, Mr Chu...Ye. I'm Yang Qian." Yang Qian was so excited that he took the initiative to talk to her.

She was laughing so hard that flowers were blooming in her heart.

From the looks of it, Su Qian didn't know Ye Fan's true identity.

That wasn't a bad thing. In that case, there was no one to fight with her over him.

Yang Qian decided in her heart that she must win this man in front of her!

"Qianny, why bother with him? He's just a country bumpkin so he doesn't deserve being treated nicely

by us. Also, people from the countryside are usually unhygienic, so he might only wash his hands once

every few days. Don't you find it disgusting to shake his hand?” said Su Qian unhappily when she saw

that Yang Qian wanted to shake Ye Fan's hand.

Other than Qiu Mu-Cheng, only Yang Qian was close to Su Qian.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was already obsessed with him, so she didn't want her only other good friend to be

sullied by Ye Fan too.

"That's right, Qianny. Aren't you a germaphobe? Maybe you should take Miss Su's tip and stay away

from him.” Once

Luo Feng found out who Ye Fan was, he looked at him with a little more disdain.

He naturally didn't want the woman he was courting to get too close to this country bumpkin.

Worse still, this country bumpkin was a shameless live-in husband!

"Qianqian, you're wrong to say that. All lives are equal, regardless of whether you're rich or poor. We

are all ordinary folk, so we should treat everyone fairly and we shouldn't look at others through colored

lenses. Also, there's nothing with being from the countryside. Those who grow up in the countryside

are cultivated by nature. The mountains, water, flowers, and trees in the wild are all pure. So the people

it nourishes must be pure too.”

"I can tell right away that Mr Ye is a pure and straightforward man. I just love being friends with people

like that. It was my childhood dream to find a husband who is from the countryside. Then we can farm,

travel, and live together in an earthly paradise. It'll be so wonderful," said Yang Qian slowly with a

gentle look in her eyes. She sounded like she was a little girl with a crush talking to the man of her

dreams.

Su Qian was completely lost. She stood there dumbstruck with her eyes wide open. She stared

inconceivably at her friend as she said, "Qianny, are you okay? Didn't you use to say you hated two

kinds of people the most - poor people and country bumpkins? Didn't you say that their hard lives made

them unreasonable? That you would rather not marry than to marry an ignorant woodlouse from the

countryside like Mu-Cheng did? But now why..."

"Stop saying this nonsense!" Yang Qian cut Su Qian off heatedly as if she was an angry cat whose fur

was all standing.

"When have I ever said such things? So what if he's poor and from the countryside? Although Mr Ye is

materially poor, he is spiritually wealthy. Only by living happily can we achieve happiness.

Besides, how do you think the revolution succeeded? How do you think this country was built? It was

built on the shoulders of farmers. It was the farmers who surrounded the city and fought for us, so how

can we city folk look down on these brave farmers? Qianqian, women shouldn't be too practical and we

shouldn't only take the side of those who are in power, and we definitely must not look at others

through colored lenses.”

Yang Qian spoke candidly and gave such solid reasons to back up her argument. She spoke so very

eloquently that Su Qian got a shock, and even Luo Feng was dumbstruck.
