A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 321 Counted on You for Nothing

Ye Fan said these words like he was laughing at himself.

Ye Fan wasn't making this up anyway. Han Dong-Min had helped Mufan Real Estate genuinely

because he owed Ye Fan a favor.

Now that he had returned the favor, Han Dong-Min really didn't owe Ye Fan anything now.

So it was only right to say that Han Dong-Min and Ye Fan basically had nothing to do with each other

anymore.

Since he didn't owe Ye Fan anything, how could Ye Fan approach him for favors? On top of that, they

were barely acquainted.

But of course, given Ye Fan's position in Han Dong-Min's heart, as long as Ye Fan made a request,

Han Dong-Min wouldn't turn him down.

But Ye Fan had no intention of anything like that.

Han Li's requests were rude and preposterous to begin with. She was making things difficult for

everyone and being unreasonable.

So Ye Fan decided to use this as a reason to make Han Li give up.

She wasn't his wife, so there was no reason for Ye Fan to pamper her!

When his parents-in-law heard Ye Fan's words, their enthusiasm and smiles instantly faded.

They looked at Ye Fan in shock.

"So you don't know Mayor Han at all? Did he only owe you a favor? And because he's returned the

favor, he has nothing to do with you anymore?" asked Han Li suspiciously. Qiu Lei was staring with his

eyes wide open at Ye Fan too.

Ye Fan nodded.

Han Li was indignant and continued asking, "So your dad can't be a chief, and I can't be a director

anymore? So you are still the same old Ye Fan and aren't friends with big shots like Mayor Han?"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Mum, although I hate to admit it, those are the facts."

As he nodded, he picked up the teacup before him and was prepared to take another sip.

"How dare you still drink my tea!”

In a fit of anger, Han Li snatched the fine Maojian from Ye Fan's hand and drank it down herself.

After she finished the tea, Han Li lashed out at him angrily with her face livid, "You good-for-nothing! I

thought things would change now that you know a high ranking official! So it was all wishful thinking on

my part! Once a country woodlouse, always a country woodlouse! You're destined to be poor forever!

How dare you have the cheek to drink my Maojian and Maotai! You thought you were good enough to

drink these?! If I had known you were still as useless as before, I wouldn't have wasted my efforts! I'm

so mad! To think I bought such expensive tea and offered you fine Maotai! It's all wasted now! You'll be

the death of me!"

After Han Li learned that Han Dong-Min and Ye Fan weren't close friends at all, her expression

immediately fell.

Why should she bother flattering a good-for-nothing?

She was kind to Ye Fan earlier on purely because she thought she could get Ye Fan to ask Han Dong-

Min to get arrange for her family to get jobs in the government since he was close friends with Han

Dong-Min.

But now Ye Fan was saying that he had nothing to do with Han Dong-Min, he wasn't tied to any big

shot, and Han Dong-Min wasn't going to bother about him anymore. So Han Li wasn't going to be nice

to Ye Fan anymore either.

She swiftly changed her tune on the spot.

Ye Fan was neither allowed to have tea nor Maotai anymore.

In her fury, Han Li even disallowed Ye Fan from having any food.

I was the one who cooked this food so a good-for-nothing like you doesn't have the right to eat it!

Everyone else has a son-in-law who gives them money and finds them jobs and they get something to

show off! But I got a useless son-in-law like you! It's exasperating! You've been living off us and now

you can't even find us jobs! What's the point of keeping you around?!"

Han Li almost went mad with fury.

Just before this, Ye Fan agreed so readily that even Han Li assumed it was almost a done deal. But

after all that fuss, it turned out that Ye Fan was merely coaxing them all along.

When Han Li thought about it more carefully, it made sense. Han Dong-Min was a city mayor. Even if

he weren't the most important man, he was one of the top three leaders of Yunzhou.

Ye Fan was a country bumpkin and a live-in husband. How could Han Dong-Min be friends with

someone like that?

Just like Ye Fan said, he only helped Mufan Real Estate to return Ye Fan's favor.

And he would ignore Ye Fan now that the debt was paid.

"Sigh. I should have known that it was hopeless to count on a good-for-nothing like you."

Han Li was so disappointed in her heart. She thought she was about to become wife to a chief, but now Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

everything she did came to nothing and she even wasted good food, wine, and tea on him. Han Li and

Qiu Lei now both felt depressed and resentful.

In the end, the dinner started well but finished on a bad note. Han Li continued to curse at Ye Fan

furiously, so he had no choice but to head back to the study.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't want to listen to her parents cursing either. So she left with Ye Fan without eating

much dinner.

Qiu Mu-Cheng continued working after returning to her bedroom.

All the paperwork for Mufan Real Estate was now in order. All that was left was its opening ceremony.

Qiu Mu-Cheng planned on making the opening ceremony a grand affair and wanted the whole real

estate circle of Yunzhou to come to know of Mufan Real Estate.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng treated the opening ceremony guest list extra seriously.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to invite Han Dong-Min to the opening ceremony as well at first. His presence

would mean a lot.

After all, if there were senior leaders like Han Dong-Min present at Mufan Real Estate's opening

ceremony, it would make them look very good!

She had even prepared an invitation and intended to send it to Han Dong-Min in a few days, but after

contemplating it further, Qiu Mu-Cheng ended up shaking her head.

Truly important people wouldn't turn up even if you invited them.

Why should she invite humiliation?

With this thought in mind, Qiu Mu-Cheng sighed and tossed Han Dong-Min's invitation into the trash

can.

Qiu Mu-Cheng assumed earlier on that Han Dong-Min and Ye Fan were friends too. She thought Han

Dong-Min would probably come on account of Ye Fan.

But after hearing what Ye Fan said at the dining table, Qiu Mu-Cheng realized that she had overthought

it like her parents.

There was no friendship to speak of.

Han Dong-Min was merely returning a favor.

Since the favor was returned, there was nothing to link them together anymore.

"Sigh. What now? If there isn't a single big shot at the opening ceremony, it will probably be an

embarrassment." Qiu Mu-Cheng was badly disappointed as she shook her head and sighed.

Just as Qiu Mu-Cheng was being worried about the opening ceremony, her stomach suddenly started

growling.

Qiu Mu-Cheng then recalled that she spent dinnertime being angry and didn't eat much. No wonder

she was hungry.

But at this hour, her parents had already cleared the food. Even if she wanted to eat, it was too late.

‘Til just go hungry and pretend I'm on a diet," Qiu Mu-Cheng mumbled to herself before she continued

working.

But just as she said this to herself, the enticing smell of barbequed meat wafted into the room.

Ye Fan came in through the door.

"Mu-Cheng, you must be hungry. I noticed you didn't have much for dinner. Jingjing and I saved you

some kebabs and I heated them up. Eat them while they are warm," said Ye Fan as he smiled and

walked in with a plate. Lu Wen-Jing was trailing behind him with a look of envy and gluttony in her

eyes.

The little lass was still eyeing the kebabs in Ye Fan's hands.

Qiu Mu-Cheng could sense Ye Fan's concern for her as she looked at him. For just that one moment,

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt like she was about to cry.

An inexplicable warmth slowly filled her heart.
