A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 64 Dinner at Shengtian Restaurant

In Ye Fan's opinion, things bought with money were the lowest of the low.

That was the reason why he looked down on snobbish and avaricious women like Qiu Mu-Ying.

But in a society dominated by materialism, women like Qiu Mu-Ying were in the majority. In such a

world, sincere and pure women like Qiu Mu-Cheng were priceless. That was the reason why Ye Fan

treasured his wife so dearly.

"Mr. Ye, your wife is long gone. Aren't you going to chase after her?" Shen Fei's teasing voice drifted to

Ye Fan from behind him.

Ye Fan glared at him and said, "You had better not tell anyone that you saw me gettng scolded by my

wife!"

If word got around that he was henpecked, he would not be able to command respect in Yunzhou.

Shen Fei chuckled and said, "Yes, of course. Of course. Hahaha-"

Ye Fan did not stay to chat, and hurried after Qiu Mu-Cheng who had already left in a huff.

Shen Fei shook his head with a laugh as he watched Ye Fan chase "slavishly" after his wife. "I guess

it's true that everything has its vanquisher or natural enemy."

Just as Shen Fei was softly laughing away, his phone rang. The caller was his father, Shen Jiu-Yi.

"What? Master Er is coming to Jianghai tonight?"

"What the hell happened?"

Night had already fallen, when Ye Fan and his companions left the jewelry exhibition.

Sun Yu-Hao had wanted to show off in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng at the jewelry exhibition. But

unexpectedly, he had ended up making a fool of himself. And Ye Fan had been the one to stand in the

limelight.

The more Sun Yu-Hao thought about this, the angrier and more pathetic he felt.

"Yu-Hao, are we going back now?” Han Fei-Fei asked quietly. She could tell that Sun Yu-Hao was in a

bad mood.

Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng arrived at where they were.

Han Fei-Fei saw that her cousin was alone, so she asked in confusion, "Where is he?"

"Hmph, don't bother about him. I am pissed." Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was flushed red with anger, and she

huffily insisted on returning home with Han Fei-Fei.

But just as the trio was preparing to drive home, a person in front turned to look at them.

"Eh?"

"Isn't this Mr. Sun?"

"Hahaha, it is fate!" Just then, a suited man walked up to them and shook Sun Yu-Hao's hand warmly.

Sun Yu-Hao was dumbfounded. "You are?'

"I am Wang Hao. Thank you for speaking up for me that time. It was all thanks to you that I managed to

keep my job." Wang Hao laughed heartily and, as he spoke, his voice was filled with gratitude.

And, just then, Sun Yu-Hao remembered. "Oh yeah. I remember now. It's Hao. That was just a small

matter. It's not worth mentioning."

Sun Yu-Hao waved his hand dismissively.

"Haha, it may be a small matter to you, but it was a really big deal to me. This must be your wife. As

expected, she is a peerless beauty! You two are a match made in heaven!" Halfway through the

conversation, Wang Hao had noticed Qiu Mu-Cheng and was stunned by her looks. He found himself

unable to move his gaze away from her, and kept exclaiming with praise over her beauty.

Qiu Mu-Cheng blushed and quickly explained, "You are mistaken. I am not..."

"Yu-Hao, is he your subordinate? He's a sweet-talker. I also think Mu-Cheng is a good match for Yu-

Hao.” But Han Fei-Fei cut in before her cousin could finish speaking.

Sun Yu-Hao smiled. His former arrogance had returned. He turned to his two female companions and

explained, "This Wang Hao is my uncle's personal assistant. He got into a bit of trouble before and I did

him a small favor."

"Ai, that favor wasn't small at all. If it weren't for your help, I would be a homeless person now. Come,

Mr. Sun. Since your wife is here as well, please let me treat you to a meal. You can't refuse. If you

refuse, it means you are looking down on me."

Wang Hao was very warm and friendly. Together with the trio, he headed toward a nearby restaurant.

At first, Qiu Mu-Cheng had not wanted to go. After all, she would feel bad about leaving Ye Fan alone

while she went to have a meal with the others.

But then, when she looked back, she could not see any sign of Ye Fan.

Hmph, this asshole.

Don't you know you should be running after your wife when she's mad at you?

I am so pissed.

Qiu Mu-Cheng hmphed angrily. She felt like doing something to spite Ye Fan in return. So she decided

to ignore him and, under Han Fei-Fei's encouragement, she followed them to the restaurant.

"So, Miss Qiu, you are from Yunzhou? You probably don't come to Jianghai very often. It's no wonder

you haven't heard of this Shengtian Restaurant. I have to tell you the story behind this restaurant.”

At this moment, the party of four had already reached the restaurant and was sitting down in a private

room.

During their short time together, Wang Hao had already understood the relationship between Qiu Mu-

Cheng and Sun Yu-Hao. The latter was still in the process of wooing her. So Wang Hao decided to stop

referring to her as Sun Yu-Hao's wife.

"Mm?" Qiu Mu-Cheng frowned. Wang Hao had piqued her curiosity. "Don't tell me this Shengtian

Restaurant has some powerful backing?"

"Of course. This is the center of Jianghai city. And the restaurant is close to Jianghai Hall. This is

premium real estate. You have got to have some powerful backing if you want do business around

here." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Take this restaurant for example. Their backer is the boss of the central district, Sheng Tian."

"His Shengtian Entertainment Group is the biggest company dealing with food-and-beverage and

entertainment in Jianghai. Of course, that alone doesn't make them great. What is truly awesome about

this company is that the owner, Sheng Tian, used to be a driver for Chen Tian-Jiao.

Sheng Tian was Chen Tian-Jiao's driver for over a decade. Later, Sheng Tian became rich and

powerful through the help of his former employer."

"Also, in Jianghai's business world, many people are saying that Sheng Tian is merely a puppet of

Chen Tian-Jiao. Like the Shengtian Entertainment Group. Although it looks like it belongs to Sheng

Tian, the real owner is actually Chen Tian-Jiao."

Wang Hao's tone was frank and measured. During the conversation, he kept refilling Sun Yu-Hao's cup

and his own.

Both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Han Fei-Fei only had tea as they did not drink.

“Who is Chen Tian-Jiao? Is he very powerful?" Han Fei-Fei seemed to be very interested in learning

more about the relationships between the top honchos, so she decided to get to the bottom of things.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng was listening quietly to the conversation.

She felt that it was better to learn more about those elites, for the sake of broadening her horizons.

Even though those elites were far away and beyond her reach.

"Of course he is!" Wang Hao exclaimed when he heard Han Fei-Fei's question.

"You may not know who is Chen Tian-Jiao. But I am sure you all know who is Chen Ao, the King of

Jiangdong."

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Han Fei-Fei both nodded their heads. They knew who was Chen Ao. Sun Yu-Hao

had just told them.

"Well, Chen Tian-Jiao is Chen Ao's nephew."

"You tell me. With this connection to Chen Ao, isn't he powerful?" Wang Hao asked in a serious tone.

When he spoke, his voice was filled with awe and admiration.

"Such... such a powerful backing?" Han Fei-Fei and Qiu Mu-Cheng were both shocked. They thought

that there were just so many powerful figures hidden in this wealthy land of Jianghai. Even a mere

restaurant had such a powerful person backing it.

Just then, Wang Hao laughed and continued, "Haha, and that is why the boss of Shengtian Restaurant

is so powerful."
