A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 542 A Visitor from the Official Company

The more she thought about what happened in the afternoon, the angrier Han Li became.

Ye Fan had remained a useless bum for three whole years and now he suddenly dared to kick a basin of water on them?

If she didn't teach Ye Fan a good lesson this time round, then Ye Fan would be kicking them next time!

So now that Ye Fan was back, neither Han Li nor Qiu Lei were going to be kind to him.

"What?"

"He's Ye Fan? The live-in son-in-law?"

"Oh dear. Auntie, seriously, I feel so bad for Mu-Cheng."

"Since ancient times, the man has always been the breadwinner while the woman just sits prettily at home. But now, Mu-Cheng has married a useless fellow, so she has to work so hard out there. It's so late and she's still not back yet."

"If I have a daughter and she marries someone like that, I'll definitely find a way to make her divorce him."

Han Li and the couple continued to chat away about these things.

Ye Fan was already used to it.

They had nothing to do with him anyway, so he couldn't be bothered either.

After getting into the house, he started to make dinner.

Shortly after that, Qiu Mu-Cheng came home too.

"Yuan Yuan, Situ Feng, so sorry to keep you guys waiting. I had to attend to many things in the office and it was hard for me to get away."

It was clear that these two had already told Qiu Mu-Cheng they were coming, so Qiu Mu-Cheng started apologizing to them the moment she walked in through the door.

"Mu-Cheng, it's alright, I can understand. After all, you've unfortunately met a guy who can't do anything, so you would have to work harder. Life is really hard," said Yuan Yuan with a smile.

After that, Qiu Mu-Cheng had a brief chat with Yuan Yuan and Situ Feng.

These two were Qiu Mu-Cheng's classmates.

They didn't contact each other after graduating from university, but they found out where Qiu Mu-Cheng was living from Su Qian and decided to drop by.

"You guys go ahead and enjoy the tea, I'll go to the kitchen. We'll chat over dinner later."

After the brief chat, Qiu Mu-Cheng headed to the kitchen to help Ye Fan.

"Mu-Cheng, why are you going to the kitchen? Are you stupid? All that oil and steam is very bad for your skin! If you absorb too much of it, you might get cancer. It's better to leave such things to Ye Fan. We can't let him eat here for free, right?" said Han Li as she pulled Qiu Mu-Cheng back.

Yuan Yuan chimed in as well, "That's right, Mu-Cheng. You're so tired from a whole day's work too. If you still have to do the chores as well, then what's the point of having this husband?"

"It's alright, I'm not tired." Qiu Mu-Cheng refused to listen to them and just smiled. Then she went to the kitchen to help Ye Fan to wash and cut the vegetables.

Ye Fan had not been around for a couple of weeks, so since Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't bear to pay to eat out all the time, she learnt how to cook.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng was able to do some simple chores around the house as well.

In no time, the food was ready.

"Ye Fan, come and eat too," Qiu Mu-Cheng yelled towards the kitchen.

Han Li immediately became annoyed. "Mu-

Cheng, why do you bother calling him? He's just a useless bum and it's so embarrassing to have him at the table."

"Mum, can you not say such things? Our guests are still around," Qiu Mu-Cheng frowned in reply.

Saying that Ye Fan was useless in front of others was also embarrassing Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Fine, fine, I won't say anymore. But you mean just because I don't talk about it, then Ye Fan will cease to be a useless bum? Now you find him embarrassing, huh? I told you to divorce him back then but you refused, I don't know what you're thinking about," grumbled Han Li to herself.

Ye Fan brought out the last dish and sat down next to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But besides Qiu Mu-Cheng, nobody bothered with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was more than happy about it. They could talk among themselves and Ye

Fan just concentrated on eating.

"Mu-Cheng, we all said farewell so hastily after graduation and it's been a long time since we last met. If Qianqian didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that you're still living in Yunzhou. After finding out where you lived, Feng and I drove over."

"Come to think of it, I managed to get together with Feng all thanks to you. If you hadn't rejected Feng back then, where would I find such a good man like Feng?"

Yuan Yuan said these words with a smile, but Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't find it in herself to smile back.

After all, Yuan Yuan's words didn't sound like she was truly thankful to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Yuan Yuan continued chatting with Qiu Mu-Cheng, but most of it was boasting about how her husband was young and successful and how nice he was to her. "Mu-Cheng, after living for so long, I finally get it. For women, having good results in school or being pretty is useless. Marrying a good husband is the most useful."

"Take yourself as an example. You were living the life in school, weren't you? Your results were good and half the guys in class were wooing you. But now? You can't even bear to use high quality make up and you're just wearing some brandless clothing that costs one or two hundred from the shops on the street, right? Mu-Cheng, I feel so bad for you."

"If you married a good husband and not a useless coward like him, then I'm sure you'd also be able to wear clothes from Versace like me, and not some low price thing you bought online, right? Mu-Cheng, I'm sure you've heard of the brand Versace. It's an international luxury brand. This jacket from them cost me more than $20,000. My husband bought it for me."

Yuan Yuan spoke like she pitied Qiu Mu-Cheng, but it didn't take a genius to see that Yuan Yuan was just showing off.

Back in school, Qiu Mu-Cheng was always in the limelight.

Everyone else looked like extras next to her.

Now that Qiu Mu-Cheng had married someone completely useless, Yuan Yuan was more than happy to rub it in.

She continued to brag about how well she was living so that Qiu Mu-Cheng could experience the disappointment of feeling like an extra.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just looked down as Yuan Yuan talked and forced herself to smile. Her heart felt rather bitter and sour inside.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was a proud person, and she felt terrible that her classmate was pitying her and even laughing at her for buying cheap clothes. She felt like she couldn't hold her head up high. Han Li was listening to all this and also became angry and started to fly off the handle.

"Exactly! My Mu-Cheng has totally been held back by this useless bum! You're just a piece of trash and you dare to continue eating here? Look at her husband and then look at yourself. Her husband could buy his wife clothes that costs more than $10,000 and you? You only know how to mope around and wait to die! Have you ever bought our Mu-Cheng anything at all? My Mu-Cheng is really unlucky to have ended up with a useless idiot like you!"

Han Li just sat there and flung all these nasty remarks at Ye Fan. Situ Feng was feeling smug inside, so he added on, "Auntie, there's no point in blaming him for all this. After all, there are some people who are destined to do only housework all their lives. If you make him try to manage a business and earn money, he wouldn't know how to either, right?"

DONG DONG DONG.

While Han Li and the rest were putting Ye Fan down, someone knocked on the main door.

Qiu Lei went to open the door.

"Hello there, is Miss Qiu around? I'm the head of the Yunzhou branch of Versace, and I've been asked to tailor a dress for Miss Qiu."

What?!

A branch manager of Versace?

Yuan Yuan and the rest were shocked to hear this!
