A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1097 Are You Making a Fool Out of Me?

"Wen-Wen, they are our customers after all. Our reputation will be affected if you chase them out of the boutique." Tan Xiao-Jing tried to dissuade Chen Wen-Wen when she saw the situation getting out of hand.

"What kind of customers are they? I think they came here to cause trouble."

"Let me ask you one last time, are you going to leave on your own or do you want me to call security?" Chen Wen-Wen had totally lost her patience with the couple.

Her loss would be huge if a customer like Zhang Wen-Ya decided not to buy a wedding dress because of the trouble they had caused.

Qiu Mu-Cheng remained calm even as Chen Wen-Wen lashed out at them. There were no signs of panic or distress on her beautiful face.

Her calm demeanor at a time like this surprised Tan Xiao-Jing.

Ye Fan stepped forward and shielded Qiu Mu-Cheng from Chen Wen-Wen. He looked at her and spoke with a low voice, "How dare you insult me? I will give you a chance to rephrase what you said right now.' "Oh my, you are giving me a chance now? How impressive!" Chen Wen-Wen burst out laughing.

Her laughter was full of sarcasm and ridicule.

"What's going on?"

"What's happened?"

The commotion had attracted the attention of the other customers in the boutique.

It wasn't long before the boutique manager appeared and asked Chen Wen-Wen what happened.

"Manager Sun, these two are here to cause trouble and they are affecting the other customers. They refused to leave even after I told them to and they even threatened me," Chen Wen-Wen complained to Manager Sun immediately, confident that Manager Sun would back her up in this matter.

"Oh?" Manager Sun frowned before continuing, "Wen-Wen, continue to serve Miss Zhang. She is our VIP customer and we should ensure she receives the best treatment from us. Leave the rest to me." After pacifying one side of the parties involved, Manager Sun turned and looked at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Sir, I would like to request that you leave if you do not intend to buy any of our wedding dresses," Manager Sun spoke politely to Ye Fan.

"Who told you we aren't buying a wedding dress? We have decided on this piece, have it wrapped up," Ye Fan replied with an air of grandeur. Everyone who heard his reply was stunned.

"Are you sure you are not joking, sir? This wedding dress tailored by a master craftsman. The dress is made from Jiangnan's royal silk and the phoenix pattern is embroidered with real gold thread. In addition, real diamonds and gold were used to ornate the phoenix crown. The total cost for this wedding dress is $5.2 million. Are you sure you want to buy this dress?" Manager Sun's words were filled with doubt.

Afraid that Ye Fan had not seen the price tag clearly, Manager Sun had placed an emphasis on the word 'million' in his reply to him.

"It's just a few million dollars. If Mu-Cheng wanted me to, I would buy this entire boutique in an instant. There is no need to reconfirm my order," replied Ye Fan coolly.

"Oh my god, buy the entire boutique? How far are you going to take this pretentious act?" A hostile looking Chen Wen-Wen glared at Ye Fan as though he was an idiot.

She refused to be bother herself with Ye Fan anymore and said to her manager, "Manager Sun, there's no point in talking to them. They are either crazy or they are here to cause trouble. Just call the security to chase them out."

To her surprise, Manager Sun shook his head.

As the boutique manager, he had come across many big shots.

Some of them were dressed simply and looked humble, but their mannerisms usually gave them away.

Manager Sun was beginning to think the couple in front of him was not as simple as they looked.

He did not get angry nor did he chase them out of the boutique.

Instead, he smiled politely and said, "Since you have decided to make a purchase, how would you like to pay for this? Cash or card?"

"Manager Sun, are you taking him seriously?" an agitated Chen Wen-Wen asked.

Zhang Wen-Ya stopped Chen Wen-Wen before Manager Sun could reply.

"Since this rich young master would like to buy this, I will be a kind soul by doing him a favor and let him have this dress. You can go and make the payment now, rich young master," Zhang Wen-Ya sneered sarcastically with her arms crossed as she waited to see Ye Fan's response.

Chen Wen-Wen caught onto what Zhang Wen-Ya meant immediately and echoed, "That's right, sir. Please go and make the payment now. It's $5.2 million. Just so you know, we do not allow payments to be placed on credit. As long as you are able to pay this amount, this wedding dress is yours."

Everyone looked at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng and waited to hear their reply.

"Humph, let's see how you are going to keep this act up!" Chen Wen-Wen thought to herself as her lips curled up in a sneer.

She did not think this couple could cough up so much money. They were just setting themselves up to be humiliated.

Ye Fan ignored all the sarcastic comments. "I didn't bring so much cash with me today, so I will pay with my card," he said as he followed Manager Sun to the counter to make the payment.

"What the heck! This rascal seriously dares to make the payment? Fine! I will see how much longer you can keep this up." Chen Wen-Wen and the rest were surprised when Ye Fan really headed towards the counter to make the payment.

Tan Xiao-Jing looked bewildered by Ye Fan's action.

Could they really be extraordinary people?

Ye Fan walked to the payment counter with everyone's eyes on him.

"Sir, please place your card here and key in your PIN number," said Manager Sun politely.

Ye Fan nodded and asked, "You guys accept the Premium Black card issued by

Hongqi Bank, right?"

What?

"You have a black card issued by the Hongqi Bank?" Manager Sun was astonished and immediately became even more respectful towards Ye Fan.

Hongqi Bank was an old establishment in Yunzhou and operated mainly as a private bank for the rich and powerful all over the world. Manager Sun knew what it meant when a person could own a black card issued by this bank.

It was a symbol representing not only wealth but also prominent status in the society.

"Yes, of course. Did you think I was joking with you?" Ye Fan's words were frosty as he smirked.

Manager Sun turned pale immediately.

The expressions on the faces of Chen Wen-Wen, Zhang Wen-Ya and the rest changed as well.

Their hearts sank when they saw how confident Ye Fan appeared to be.

Did this man really own a black card from Hongqi Bank?

In an instant, the ridicules and mockery that filled the hall earlier disappeared.

Panic and regret started to fill their hearts. Cold sweat formed and trickled down Chen Wen-Wen's forehead.

She could already foresee her terrible predicament if the man turned out to really own a black card.

Ye Fan reached into his pocket in the midst of the rising sense of panic in the hall.

But his face fell in the next moment.

"Shit, I forgot to remove the card when I changed my pants this morning," Ye Fan smacked his forehead and laughed in embarrassment as he looked at his wife.

There was a long silence in the hall. There

was no noise except for the gentle whirring of the air conditioning.

Everyone was stupefied.

Manager Sun was the first to react after what seemed like a long while.

"Sir, are you making a fool out of me?" His voice was low and suppressed with rage.
