A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 237 A Complete Change in Situation

As Qiu Mu-Ying led her family towards Shanshui Hall, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng had arrived at the

entrance to the MidAutumn Festival Auction.

"Where's that Qianqian? The auction is about to start."

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan were standing at the entrance to wait for Su Qian because Su Qian said

she wanted to go in with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

They had waited for half an hour already and Qiu Mu-Cheng felt bad making Shen Fei and Han Shao-

Jie wait with them. After about ten minutes, Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie went in first, and only Ye Fan

stood outside with her.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was losing patience soon. She called Su Qian several times but she didn't pick up

her phone at all and Qiu Mu-Cheng was so angry that she was prepared to just walk in herself.

"Chengcheng, I'm here, wait for meee...Oh goodness, I'm so tired. I'm glad I made it in time..." A pretty

young lady came scurrying over.

Su Qian had come running and panting, and her beautiful face was covered with sweat.

"Qianqian, where did you go? Why did you come so late?” Qiu Mu-Cheng asked in annoyance.

Su Qian was still panting, so she only managed to reply after taking a while to catch her breath, "Mu-

Cheng, do you remember that rich man's wife we ran into when we went shopping the other day?"

"You know, Han Wenxue, the one who wanted to sell you the tickets for outside the hall for $1 million?"

"Oh yeah, I remember her. What about her?" Of course Qiu Mu-Cheng hadn't forgotten what happened

that day. If someone hadn't suddenly gifted her with tickets to sit on the inside of the auction hall, Qiu

Mu-Cheng would have thoroughly embarrassed herself that night. So she had quite a deep impression

of that rich man's wife.

"Mu-Cheng, remember I told you that Han Wenxue's husband was a CEO of a big company? They've

collapsed! Just two days ago, her husband was arrested for commercial crimes and went straight to

jail. The company went bankrupt immediately and all their assets have been frozen. The bungalow they

lived in has been auctioned off to repay their debts. That Han Wenxue has become like a dog with no

owner and she even called me earlier to ask if she could borrow money to return home," said Su Qian

as she sighed deeply.

"Things can really change all of a sudden... she was still a rich man's wife and enjoying her wealth and

luxury just a few days ago. She was even showing off how powerful she was in front of us. But now she

doesn't even have enough money to go home. And her husband's company was so huge, but it just

went bankrupt like that."

"Seriously, humans are really too weak and small in front of government offices and the law. Mu-

Cheng, we must never, ever go against the law. Sigh..."

"But seriously though. Even though Han Wenxue looked so irritating when she was all smug and

gleeful, I have to say that I really felt bad for her when I saw how pitiful she looked earlier. She had

spent so much effort in climbing her way up and finally went from mistress to a wife. But she had fallen

back to square one before she had been able to enjoy this life for long. Perhaps that's the way life is. If

it's yours, it'll be yours sooner or later. If it's not yours, then you'd never be able to keep it even if you All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

manage to get hold of it,” sighed Su Qian quietly. Her words were so strangely emotional.

Perhaps it was sympathy, or perhaps Su Qian was just overwhelmed by her emotions.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was a little surprised and her face paled considerably upon hearing this.

It was too sudden after all.

It was just a few days ago when Han Wenxue was all high and mighty as she looked down on Ye Fan,

Qiu Mu-Cheng and everyone else.

Nobody would have thought that the next thing she heard about Han Wenxue would be about how

pitiful she was now.

Even though Qiu Mu-Cheng had only met Han Wenxue once, this sudden change in situation made her

still feel that humans were really insignificant and life was really unpredictable.

"Nobody lives a smooth life all the time and flowers aren't in bloom every day. Both the rich and poor

have to go through life and eventually die anyway, so it's just part of life." Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't like Han

Wenxue, but she didn't hate her.

After hearing about how Han Wenxue was in such dire straits, Qiu Mu-Cheng also felt very

overwhelmed by her emotions.

The two ladies didn't talk for too long and went towards the auction hall.

Su Qian still couldn't stop thinking about what happened to Han Wenxue.

"Mu-Cheng, don't you think it's really sudden? There were no signs whatsoever before this. In fact, just

last week, Han Wenxue's husband had even received an invitation from the government to speak at an

entrepreneur gathering. And in just a few days, this huge company just went bust like that.”

"I think there's someone behind this. Their family must have offended someone. They must have

offended someone more powerful than themselves, and that's how they ended up in this predicament.

Mu-Cheng, who do you think they offended? If this person could kill off a listed company overnight, this

person must have some otherworldly power..." said Su Qian with her eyes opened wide. The more she

thought about it, the more frightened she became, but she also became curious.

But throughout all this, Ye Fan just listened to their conversation quietly and didn't say anything. He

was exceptionally quiet and just looked like none of this had anything to do with him.

There was no joy nor sadness on his youthful face.

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian would never have dreamt that the person behind all of this was the quiet

man next to them all this while.

Ye Fan didn't feel any sympathy for what happened to Han Wenxue and her husband.

Their company had illegal dealings in the first place, so it was only a matter of time before they got

caught.

Ye Fan's existence only helped to speed things up.

It wasn't anybody's fault. The only one who could be blamed was Han Wenxue for bullying Qiu Mu-

Cheng.

"As long as one lives in this world, one must face the consequences of everything you do and say,"

said Ye Fan suddenly and stunned Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian for a while.

"Ye Fan, what are you talking about?" Qiu

Mu-Cheng was puzzled and didn't know what Ye Fan meant.

"Nothing, I'm just saying," replied Ye Fan.

Su Qian rolled her eyes and glared at Ye Fan. ‘Tm talking to Mu-Cheng, so how could you interrupt our

conversation?”

"Also, I'm warning you. If my dad ever looks you up, don't spout nonsense in front of him. I will never,

ever, marry you," warned Su Qian very sternly as she suddenly remembered what happened over

lunch earlier.

He just knew how to appraise a few antiques and nobody knew if he really knew how to or he just got

lucky. She didn't understand what was so great about him and she didn't understand why her father

liked him so much.

Su Qian sighed deeply and helplessly in her heart.

But Ye Fan couldn't be bothered with her.

This woman actually despised him?

"When you find out who I am and you start whining and sobbing to marry me, I wouldn't care for you

either," laughed Ye Fan coldly in his heart as he walked towards the auction hall.

"Sir, Madam, please let me see your auction tickets." The staff at the entrance stopped them at the

door.
