A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 351 You Can Take the Money
Besides Chu Wen-Fei, everyone else was surprised too.
They had all thought that the shopkeeper would make Ye Fan pay at least $80 million or something. But he only wanted $200.
Chu Wen-Fei started getting anxious. "Mr Shen, what did I say earlier?"
"You don't have to bother about me, you don't have to! I've told you so many times, why won't you listen to me? I, Chu Wen-Fei, am an upright man, so even though they're my relatives, I can't let you suffer a loss for my sake. Tell you what, we'll all take a step back and make it simple. Just get them to compensate you with $1 million. In that way, they've gotten a good deal because of me, but you won't lose too much either," said Chu Wen-Fei very calmly to Shen Meng, as if he was really being a just and fair person.
At the same time, Chu Wen-Fei and his wife were laughing coldly in their hearts.
$1 million was enough to make Qiu Mu-
Cheng tremble!
"This Mr Chu is really a big shot and really believes in justice. He doesn't try to defend his relatives and he deserves to be a rich man."
"He's of great character and will definitely accomplish much in the future!"
Many of the onlookers started murmuring their approval and there were many ladies looking admiringly at Chu Wen-Fei. That young sales assistant earlier was already blinded by her adoration for Chu Wen- Fei and felt that this man was truly a Young Master of a rich family!
Compared to this Mr Chu, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were just two paupers!
"Qiu Mu-Cheng, why are you two still standing there? Aren't you going to thank my husband for his kindness and thank Mr Shen for being generous? If my husband hadn't put in a good word for you, the two of you would have to pay at least $2 million. If I were you, I'd kowtow to my husband three times," Qiu Mu-Ying smiled boldly with a gleeful look in her eyes. She looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan as if she was in a much higher position than them.
Even though Qiu Mu-Ying didn't spell it out, the implied meaning of her words were very clear.
She wanted Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan to kowtow to her husband as a way of thanking him!
Qiu Mu-Cheng's nose was almost crooked from her anger when she heard this.
Shen Meng said that $200 was enough compensation, but this couple helped to make it $1 million.
And she had to thank them for that?!
These two were seriously shameless!
Qiu Mu-Cheng ignored Qiu Mu-Ying's words and couldn't even be bothered to look at the couple.
But Ye Fan just smiled calmly. "Mr Shen, what's your final decision? Do you want us to pay $1 million?"
"Oh no no no," Shen Meng quickly shook his head. "$200 will do, $200 will do. It's our store's honor to have Mr Chu grace us with his wonderful presence, so $200 will do."
Chu Wen-Fei's eyes widened at these words. "Mr Shen, I told you, don't bother about how wonderful my presence is. I didn't break this vase, so you don't have to be worried about offending me." "Just listen to me, you can take this $1 million!"
"No no no, I can't."
"You can!" Chu Wen-Fei tried to signal Shen Meng with his eyes and he was getting really annoyed.
But Shen Meng continued to shake his head. "No no no, I really can't take it, I really can't..."
Shen Meng continued to repeat himself and shook his head as he also cursed Chu Wen-Fei in his heart.
This Chu Wen-Fei was really an idiot.
He had been kind enough to Chu Wen-Fei but he was still trying to show off here.
And he thought that he had a wonderful presence? Shen Meng didn't know where this guy even popped out from!
Did Chu Wen-Fei think he was Mr Chu just because he had the same surname?
Shen Meng was really speechless. But at the same time, he was really on the verge of tears when faced with this crazy couple.
He really wondered which planet these two idiots came from.
If Mr Chu weren't around, Shen Meng would have slapped them by now.
But before Shen Meng could react, Qiu Mu-Ying became impatient as she stared at Shen Meng like he was an idiot. "Mr Shen, what's wrong with you? Don't you want
money?"
"This thing is worth millions and it's been broken but you only want $200 for it? Did a donkey kick your brain or something?" said Qiu Mu-Ying angrily.
But Shen Meng was starting to get annoyed at Qiu Mu-Ying's rudeness. "Miss, who told you that this vase was worth millions?"
"I'm not the sort of person who would cheat others like this. This vase is worth $200, so of course I'll get them to compensate me $200."
What?!
Qiu Mu-Ying was stunned for a moment. "Worth only $200? Didn't you say this was a cloisonne vase from the early 1900s?"
"That's right. But it's an imitation piece so it's not worth much. I bought it at $200," replied Shen Meng calmly, and Qiu Mu-Ying was at a loss for words.
But his words confused the staff in the
store.
The young sales assistant who was slapped by Shen Meng earlier couldn't help but raise her doubts, "Mr Shen, it can't be a fake. You even said that the four vases in our store were all antiques worth millions. There was even an antique dealer who offered $8 million to buy all four vases from you, so how could they be fakes? Did you get it mixed up?"
She tried her best to explain because she had only heard of people pretending that fakes were worth more than they really were, but she had never seen anyone try to pass a genuine one as a fake and make losses.
PAK!
Just after she finished saying this, Shen Meng angrily slapped her again and she burst into tears.
"You little brat! Are you the boss or am I the boss? Do you think I wouldn't know if this vase is real or fake? What nonsense are you going on about? $8 million? How could you inflate the price like that? I said they were $800. Your ears need to be checked and you're spouting nonsense here?" yelled Shen Meng fiercely. All the staff shut their mouths and didn't dare to say another word.
"Four vases are only worth $800? They're seriously fakes?"
Qiu Mu-Ying was clearly a little disappointed. She thought she could bankrupt Qiu Mu-Cheng this time, but the vases in this store turned out to be fakes?
"I thought that this was some high end store! Looks like you're not worth much after all. You even used an imitation worth a few hundred bucks to pass off as an antique, what a cheapskate," grumbled Qiu Mu- Ying angrily. She lost all her earlier excitement and didn't want to stay here anymore, so she turned to leave with Chu Wen-Fei.
"Dear, let's go. This shop is terrible! We're never coming back here. What a letdown!" Qiu Mu-Ying was in a bad mood since she didn't get the result she wanted. After that last nasty comment, she left with Chu Wen-Fei.
After Qiu Mu-Ying left with Chu Wen-Fei, Ye Fan turned to ask Shen Meng, "Mr Shen, is this vase really a fake? Do you really want us to pay you only $200?"
"I can give you a chance to regret this decision."
Ye Fan smiled curiously at Shen Meng, and Shen Meng felt his heart tremble. Ye Fan was testing him.
