A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 350 Hurry Up and Pay

"Hmm?" Chu Wen-Fei was a little surprised by Shen Meng's question. He was stunned for a while before laughing and said, "Mr Shen, you're such a joker. Didn't you just call for me earlier? Why are you pretending not to know me now?"

Shen Meng was even more confused. "I called for Mr Chu earlier."

"That's right!" Chu Wen-Fei slapped his hand against Shen Meng's shoulder again and smiled smugly. "I am Mr Chu."

"Back at the banquet at Yunjing Hotel, your director and Shen Fei both gave me a toast. Weren't you there too? If you didn't call me Mr Chu, I nearly didn't recognize you."

"But I'm surprised. Weren't you a director at Yunjing Hotel back then? It's only been a few months and you've been transferred here?" Chu Wen-Fei continued speaking in an obviously boastful and showy manner.

"Oh Yingying, come over here quickly. Since you're Mrs Chu, you should come and shake hands with Mr Shen as a kind gesture," laughed Chu Wen-Fei loudly. His eyes were brimming with pride and smugness.

He felt that he was truly amazing and it was impossible to be low profile at all. He had come out to shop randomly and someone actually recognized him.

"Hello, Mr Shen," Qiu Mu-Ying smiled as she shook Shen Meng's hand. Her exquisite face was also filled with smugness.

Her man was such a big shot, so as his wife, she also felt like this was a proud moment for her too!

"Oh, so it's the two of you." Shen Meng obviously recalled who they were now. These two were that crazy couple at that banquet.

Shen Meng remembered that Shen Jiu-Yi had given them a painting he did on a whim and said that it was by Tang Bohu. Hilariously enough, these two goons actually thought it was a great treasure and looked so grateful and excited, they must have thought it was a genuine painting.

He wondered if they had noticed if the painting was fake yet.

But even though Shen Meng was very disgusted by this deluded husband and wife, he remembered that these two were relatives of Mr Chu. So he couldn't offend them either, and had no choice but to smile and shake Qiu Mu-Ying's hand.

"Oh yes, it is our honor to have both of you at our store today. Please have a look around, I'll chat with Mr Chu for a while first."

Shen Meng wasn't interested in wasting time on these two, so he just left them with a couple of words and looked towards Ye Fan again. He put a smile back on and tried to extend his hand at Ye Fan once

more.

"Oho, Mr Shen, you're really too kind. You just shook my hand and you want to shake it again? You're so friendly, it makes me feel a little guilty now." Chu Wen-Fei shook Shen Meng's hand again just as Shen Meng stretched his arm out.

Perhaps Chu Wen-Fei was too touched by how friendly Shen Meng was. He shook Shen Meng's hand extra hard and even used both hands. He squeezed Shen Meng's hand so hard that his expression darkened.

Fuck!

What was this about feeling guilty?!

Shen Meng's expression became even grimmer.

He was really going crazy.

Where the hell did this idiot come from?! Shen Meng didn't want to shake his hand at all!

And Shen Meng didn't think Chu Wen-Fei was worthy of shaking his own hand either.

Shen Meng was so angry that he kept cursing Chu Wen-Fei in his heart.

If these two weren't relatives of Mr Chu, Shen Meng would have kicked them to the floor by now.

But no matter how angry Shen Meng was, he couldn't do anything about it.

These two were relatives of Mr Chu, so he dared not offend them.

He sadly gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.

Shen Meng had no choice but to pretend to smile at Chu Wen-Fei's words.

"Alright now, Mr Shen, we can chat another time, and I should not disrupt your work. You should settle the matter at hand now."

"Even though they're somewhat related to me, you don't have to worry about it. Just deal with this matter according to your store's policy. Make them pay however much they're supposed to and deal with them fairly," said Chu Wen-Fei very seriously as he patted Shen Meng's shoulder. He looked as if he was someone who believed in justice above all and wouldn't side with his relatives.

"That's right. Since my husband is Mr Chu and he's a big shot, he should set an example and shouldn't protect his relatives. So Mr Shen, go ahead and make them compensate you. Include any cleaning up fees and any emotional distress compensation and the like. Go ahead and demand it all from them. They've broken your things and disrupted your business, so it's only right for them to compensate you, right?" said Qiu Mu-Ying with a cold smile as she continued to add fuel to the fire and looked like she was ready to blow this matter up if she could.

It was as though they were afraid that Qiu Mu-Cheng might make use of them to reduce the compensation amount.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was furious and exasperated when she heard the words that came out of this couple's mouth.

Were these two even her relatives?!

How could they be so wicked!

It was fine if they didn't want to help. But now they were actually making it worse and made sarcastic comments like that!

Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to cry from her anger and her eyes were all red.

Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly realized that sometimes, these so called relatives were even worse than a passerby.

At least a passerby wouldn't try to make things worse and wouldn't be gleeful over her misfortune!

"Well..." Shen Meng was also a little confused.

Weren't these two supposed to be relatives?

Why was this couple trying to make things difficult for Mr Chu?

Could this couple be on bad terms with Mr Chu?

Shen Meng was suddenly a little doubtful and wasn't sure what was going on

anymore.

Just then, Ye Fan broke his silence with a quiet laugh.

"Mr Shen, right? They're right, we broke this vase. We've also affected your business, so we ought to recompense you. So please let us know how much we have to pay you. No matter what sort of people we are, we ought to pay up whatever is due, and not a cent less. If we can't pay the full amount now, we'll slowly pay up in the future, and we'll definitely not default on payment," said Ye Fan calmly as he looked at Shen Meng and kept a friendly smile on his face throughout.

But Qiu Mu-Ying immediately burst out laughing at these words.

"You've put it very nicely! You'll slowly pay them back? Then if you take the next 20 or 30 years to pay up, are you going to make Mr Shen wait 20 or 30 years too? Mr Shen, you must not believe his nonsense. If they can't pay, then take their house as collateral. If they're not willing, then call the cops on them, and they can experience jailtime to learn their lesson." Qiu Mu-Ying spoke with such hatred in her voice.

Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband had been arrested by the police several times in the recent months and had spent quite some days in the detention center. And most of the time, it was Qiu Mu-Cheng's fault that they ended up there.

So Qiu Mu-Ying was always looking forward to the day Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan got a taste of being in jail too!

"Just say it, Mr Shen. You can go ahead and name your price. How much is this vase worth? And how much will the opportunity cost and emotional damage cost? Don't worry about me, just go ahead and state the amount!" Chu Wen-Fei hurried Shen Meng as he stuffed his hands into his pant pockets and smiled coldly.

Everyone was now looking at Shen Meng and waited for him to say something.

After a long period of silence, Shen Meng looked at Ye Fan and grinned, "Actually, it's fine that this little vase is broken. It's not worth much and you really don't have to compensate me at all." "But since you're so insistent, then I'll just ask for $200."

"Did you hearthat? $200! Come on, useless bum! Hurry up and pay!" laughed Chu Wen-Fei gleefully without thinking about what Shen Meng had said. But after he said these words, Chu Wen-Fei immediately realized something wasn't quite right.

"Wait, two...TWO HUNDRED?!"

"Mr Shen, are you nuts? What's this nonsense?!" Chu Wen-Fei's eyes widened and he looked in shock at Shen Meng when he realized what was wrong.
