A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 260 The Night Before the Dinner

"You...weren't arrested?"

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was rather surprised to see Ye Fan.

She thought that Ren Han would take Ye Fan away, but he still turned up here.

Ye Fan immediately laughed bitterly. "You're too impatient and just ran out before hearing me out. I told

you, it was a misunderstanding..."

Ye Fan then explained how he had been wrongly accused to Qiu Mu-Cheng very briefly.

Of course, Ye Fan had only simply said that the police had arrested the wrong person and they

released him after they had caught the real perpetrator.

He didn't say anything about taking back the jadeite. That was a surprise for Qiu Mu-Cheng, so of

course Ye Fan didn't mention it.

"That's it?" Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Ye Fan. This whole matter sounded a little too simple to be true.

But Ye Fan was truly standing here in one good piece, so Qiu Mu-Cheng had to believe him this time.

But even after she had cleared up the matter about Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng still looked downcast.

She turned around and leaned against the fence to focus her quiet gaze towards the vast surface of the

lake.

The water sparkled brightly and the blue waters ebbed by.

Now and then, a gentle breeze would blow by. Qiu Mu-Cheng stood there under the night sky as her

black dress accentuated her charming figure and her fringe continued to blow in the wind.

Many people glanced in wonder at the beautiful Qiu Mu-Cheng from time to time, but this gorgeous

lady's face was now filled with great depression.

Life was really filled with many things that frustrated her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't say anything and Ye Fan just stood quietly next to her.

The two of them seemed to be strangely coordinated and didn't want to break the silence they were in

right now.

In the end, it was Qiu Mu-Cheng who gave in first. She quietly said with a heavy heart, "Ye Fan, my

mum wants to force us to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng's clear voice slowly flowed across Yunwu Lake.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was telling Ye Fan this because she wanted Ye Fan to give her a firm response.

It was tiring for her to face the pressure from her entire family all by herself after all. She needed Ye

Fan to support her and be her strong backer.

But after a long time, Ye Fan still hadn't responded.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Qiu Mu-Cheng sounded a little angry as she turned to look at Ye

Fan.

Ye Fan had both hands in his pockets and his white short sleeved shirt was billowing in the wind. He

laughed and replied quietly, "Why? Is it because of Sun Yu-Hao?"

"Yeah," Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded. "You know that my parents like Sun Yu-Hao very much and my uncle

has been pushing for this to happen. So they keep pushing me to divorce you and marry Sun Yu-Hao."

Qiu Mu-Cheng sounded both bitter and frustrated.

"When?”

"When what?" Qiu Mu-Cheng was confused.

Ye Fan replied, "When does your mum want us to get a divorce?"

"After the holiday ends. She wants us to go tomorrow," replied Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Ye Fan nodded. "Alright. But I'm not free tomorrow, so let's fix it on the day after. We'll go to the Civil

Affairs Bureau and get a divorce the day after tomorrow."

Ye Fan said these words slowly and the word 'divorce' came out of his mouth so calmly, as if it was a

normal thing to say.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was completely frozen. She stared in disbelief at Ye Fan.

She had said these words because she wanted to know what Ye Fan's stand was. She wanted him to

encourage her and she had hoped that he would stand by her to hold up against her parents and

relatives.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't expect Ye Fan to just agree so easily without even putting up a fight.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes turned red almost instantly.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

But she clenched her teeth hard to make sure the tears didn't fall.

She looked at Ye Fan with her bloodshot eyes and started laughing bitterly at herself.

Her smile was depressing and it looked so dejected.

"So I'm the one who's thought too much. Fine, Ye Fan, we'll get a divorce the day after tomorrow like

you said! This marriage was a mistake in the first place, so I should have ended it long ago. I'm not

going to continue with you anymore. I hate you!” shouted Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily at Ye Fan.

She started crying as she flung the jacket on herself at Ye Fan. She also pulled the 'Tears of a Lover'

ring off her hand and returned it to him.

"I don't want this ring anymore either. You can have it back!” she shouted in frustration and ran off.

She didn't want to see this idiot anymore.

She didn't want to see him for even one moment more.

He was a coward, a bastard and he wasn't a man at all!

Why couldn't he persevere on?

Why did he always give up first?

Why couldn't he insist on continuing to be with her?

Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to cry while running.

She thought that Ye Fan would insist on keeping this marriage like she did.

But after she heard Ye Fan's reply, she felt like her heart was going to break into pieces.

She didn't expect Ye Fan to let go first.

She didn't expect Ye Fan to be able to say the word 'divorce' so easily.

Perhaps he never really cared that much about her in the first place.

Her tears couldn't stop and Qiu Mu-Cheng's vision was getting blurry.

She cried so miserably as she ran and disappeared quickly into the night.

Ye Fan was still standing at the fence. The cold wind blew the fallen leaves and also blew against the

water in Yunwu Lake.

But Ye Fan's gaze was strangely determined as he watched Qiu Mu-Cheng run off.

"Mu-Cheng, I'm sorry but there are some things that I can't tell you yet. But after tomorrow, I'm going to

make sure the person who's coveting you backs off! Nobody can take you away from me. Qiu Mu-

Cheng, you can only be my woman..."

HUUUUU...

The wind blew hard and Ye Fan's low but strong words were blown by the wind far into the distance.

And just at this moment, a phone call came in.

"Mr Chu, the dinner has been booked for tomorrow at Haiyuan Restaurant's VIP room, 7PM. Mr Sun

will be waiting in the room for your arrival," said Li Er very politely over the phone.

Ye Fan nodded and just took note of the details.

The night passed very quickly.

The next day, Su Qian drove Qiu Mu-Cheng home.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had gone running to look for her best friend Su Qian the night before after feeling so

dejected.

"Chengcheng, I think your parents' suggestion isn't too bad. That Sun Yu-Hao is the Young Master of

the Sun family in Jianghai and his background is even better than that Qiu Mu-Ying's husband. He's

also the one who got a chance to have dinner with Mr Chu for more than $200 million too."

"So perhaps Sun Yu-Hao would seize this opportunity to push his business in Jianghai up by another

level and become one of the wealthiest families in Jiangdong. If you marry him, then you'd become a

rich man's wife and nobody in the Qiu family would dare to look down on you."
