A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1640

"Back when you were in kindergarten, you would always come to me whenever you were bullied. But before I knew it, the crybaby you used to be was all grown up. In its place, was a lady as beautiful as our mom. If Mom were still around, she would definitely be very happy to see how beautiful you are."

Within the quiet room, Michael's gentle words filled its space alongside a gentle breeze that blew in from the window.

As Michael continued speaking, he realized that he had never said so much to his sister in his entire life.

Listening to his words caused Angie's eyes to redden and tears to gradually flow out of them.

Upon seeing her tears, Michael wiped them away gently and smiled, "Silly gal, what are you crying for? Today is supposed to be a happy occasion. Stop crying or it will ruin your makeup."

Angie continued to sit silently as her brother helped her with her hair.

At that moment, someone came in to inform Michael, "Mr. Jones, the Chu family convoy has arrived and Mr.

Chu is already waiting at the door."

Michael nodded. "Mmm-hmm, I understand. Tell Mr. Chu that we're almost ready."

After sending the servant away, Michael quickly finished up Angie's hair.

"Angie, what do you think of my handiwork? Does it look good? After all, I have always helped you with your ponytail since we were kids, so I'm pretty good at it now," Michael praised himself while bursting into laughter.

Nodding, Angie grunted in acknowledgment.

"Come, Angie, I'll lead you out.”

Once everything was ready, Michael held Angle's hand as they began to walk out.

However, just when they were about to leave the room, Michael suddenly stopped in his tracks.

As a shadow fell across his face, no one was able to see the expression on his face clearly.

Angie became curious, for she didn't know why her brother had stopped.

After a short silence, Michael murmured with a strange expression, "Angie, to be honest, I'm not an ambitious person. Compared to restoring the former glory of the family, I'll rather you and dad just be happy." Caught by surprise, Angie felt a flurry of emotions within her.

Even though she didn't understand why Michael said those words out of nowhere, she could clearly sense the care and concern he felt toward her.

At that moment, Angie suddenly gained a deeper insight into her father and brother.

Consequently, the fury she felt toward them dampened significantly.

At that moment, she briefly considered staying behind and helping her father restore the past glory of the family.

Unfortunately, it was just not possible now.

There was no way she could accept becoming the wife of someone she didn't love.

"Michael, goodbye," Angie muttered under her breath, teary-eyed.

She was cognizant that it might be the last time both of them saw each other.

If the plan succeeded, they would naturally never see each other again.

If the plan failed, she would commit suicide the night of her wedding, for she had decided to use her own death to protest against the marriage alliance.

The first half of her life had been terribly tragic. She was locked up by her family at home and had passed her days in loneliness.

Thus, she didn't want to live out the rest of her life in pain and torment.

Not only did she want to have her freedom but also to live her life the way she saw fit.

In fact, she would rather die than doing otherwise.

Meanwhile, outside the Jones residence, a festive mood filled the air while the surroundings were decked out in flowers.

One kilometer-long line of luxury cars was already parked outside.

At the same time, the exploding fireworks shook the entire place repeatedly.

Among the hundreds of men that arrived with the convoy, a young man stood proudly in front with his hands behind his back.

As he looked sharp and dignified in his white suit, his eyes glistened with ambition, as if he was Prince Charming comingto claim his princess.

He was none other than Chu Qitian, son of Chu Zhengliang, who was the head of the Chu family.

Standing at the entrance of the Jones residence, he stared at the red carpet that stretched deep into the mansion with a determined expression.

“Dad had once told me that if I can dominate the little princess of the Jones family, I would be able to conquer the world. Haha, I have waited for this day for a very longtime and it is finally upon me now. "After today, I will not only have a pretty wife but also a powerful assistant. As for Dad, he will gain the Jones family's support in his quest to take over Chu Sect. When that happens, my dad and I will have the world in our grasp. Haha!"

Outside the mansion, Chu Qitian gloated at the thought that his father and he would soon sit at the pinnacle of the world.

"Chu Tianfan, oh Chu Tianfan, so what if you've greater seniority in the family or the fact that you're Great-grandma's favorite? In the end, I'm the one who laughs last! After all, only my father and I are capable of achieving success. After today, it will be clear that I am the one that will rise above all. Unfortunately, Great-grandma was too blind to see it."

When one was feeling smug, one would naturally think of one's enemy first.

Given his illustrious background, Chu Qitian only had a single rival throughout his life in the form of Ye Fan.

In truth, Chu Qitian not only felt contempt for him but also jealousy.

After all, the matriarch of the Chu family had appointed Ye Fan as the heir of his generation.

Up till then, she still favored Ye Fan and never cared for Chu Tianqi.

So what if she does? At the end of the day, my father and I control the Chu family. When the time comes, I'll be the one to possess absolute authority.

Just when Chu Qitian was lost in his own thoughts, the doors to the Jones residence were suddenly flung open.

Everyone was greeted by the sight of Michael gradually leading a lady out on the red carpet.

The lady was dressed in a long snow-white gown while her exquisite features were mostly hidden from view by her veil.

With her curvaceous figure and porcelain-white skin, Angie looked as if she had just walked out of a painting.

She looked so fantasy-like that she mesmerized everyone that saw her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the fireworks continued to explode in the background, pink flower petals were thrown into the air.

Under the excited gazes of the crowd, Michael handed his sister's hand over to Chu Qitian.

"Qitian, from today onward, my sister will be in your care. I hope that you will treat her well, protect her, and give her a life of happiness."

Nodding with a smile, Chu Qitian replied, "Don't worry, Michael. Now that she's my wife, I will give her the best. The day I become a king, she will naturally be my queen. I will take her to visit the most beautiful sights and experience the best the world has to offer," Chu Qitian declared proudly.

Just as he finished, Chu Qitian led Angie into the wedding car before they started their journey toward the Chu residence at Mount Chumen.

After the convoy left, Michael stood melancholically in front of the entrance for a very long time.

Staring at the grass-lined path in front of him, his mind went back in time and pictured a little girl there. He could still hear her childish giggle echoing in his mind.
