A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 580 Feast of the Sea and Sky

After wailing for a long time, Su Qian's emotions finally settled down.

She used her sleeve to wipe her tears away, then stubbornly said to Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Humph, that's no big deal. He just knows how to play the harmonica, right? I was just blinded back then and I don't like him anymore. My idol is Mr Chu, not him! I only like Mr Chu now."

Su Qian's cheeks were still tearstained as she continued yelling away like a stubborn little girl.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't know how to counsel her either, so she just agreed with her, "Yes, yes, the one you like is Mr Chu. Your idol is still Mr Chu and not Ye Fan..."

In reality, Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't sure how to describe her own feelings either.

She just felt that life was really a drama.

Su Qian used to look down on Ye Fan only to eventually discover that the 'Harmonica Prince' she fell head over heels in love with and practically sold her soul to turned out to be Ye Fan in the end.

If Su Qian weren't her own bestie, Qiu Mu-Cheng might feel proud and glad to be Ye Fan's wife and would want to boast about it.

While Qiu Mu-Cheng was busy trying to comfort Su Qian, Ye Fan was on the phone with Li Er.

"Li Er, you're still not back yet?" asked Ye Fan with a frown.

Li Er replied respectfully, "Mr Chu, I'm in New York now. I've found the bastard who betrayed me and ganged up with my secretary to run away with funds embezzled from the company! If I don't get back at this fellow, I really won't be able to eat or sleep properly. Once I'm done with settling this matter, I will return to Jiangdong."

After hearing this, Ye Fan nodded, "Sure, tell me about it when you're back. The Feast of the Sea and Sky must happen by next week! If you still can't get back by then, I will have no choice but to move the venue to Jianghai instead."

The Feast of the Sea and Sky was basically a gathering of all the big shots in Jiangdong.

In the past, the king of Jiangdong, Chen Ao, would organize this every year and gather everyone.

The big bosses of all the major corporations in every city would come for the banquet, and it was like a big celebration of the people.

Besides talking business, most of it was eating and drinking as well as networking.

But in the past, Jiangdong was split into the east and the west. Chen Ao was in charge of the east while Zhao Wu-Ji was in the west, so the Feast of the Sea and Sky used to be able to only gather half of the important people in Jiangdong.

But now, Jiangdong had been consolidated and Ye Fan was their leader.

This year's Feast of the Sea and Sky was definitely going to be on a much grander scale than before!

Logically speaking, such a huge event should have been hosted by Chen Ao, one of the major business leaders.

But Chen Ao's influence in Jiangdong was too great and it was dangerous to let him have all the power.

Part of a king's role was to maintain order and balance.

Ye Fan was now supporting Li Er because he wanted Li Er to be able to be on par with Chen Ao when he wasn't around to watch over Jiangdong.

He didn't want one family to rule over everything.

That was also why Ye Fan would rather wait to hold this year's Feast of the Sea and Sky in Yunzhou and get Li Er to host it.

"Oh no no, Mr Chu, don't worry, I just need seven days. No matter what happens here, I'll definitely rush back to Jiangdong within the next seven days. I will definitely host the Feast of the Sea and Sky for you!" Li Er wasn't stupid. Of course he knew that Ye Fan was giving him a fantastic opportunity.

All this while, Chen Ao, Lei San and the rest of the big shots in Jiangdong were always above him.

If Li Er wanted to rise above them, Ye Fan was his only hope!

Now that such a rare opportunity had presented himself, Li Er wasn't going to miss it.

"Sure, I'll wait then." Ye Fan nodded and hung up the phone.

He looked at his calendar.

"It's already December. In just another month, it'll be New Year's. Time really flies

- I've left home for nearly four years now."

Ye Fan looked at how all the trees were becoming bare from the winter cold, and he suddenly felt strangely emotional.

Back then, in order not to implicate his mother, he had left his hometown and married into the Qiu family. After thinking about it, he realized he hadn't seen his mother in several years now.

Ye Fan was in a hurry to organize the Feast of the Sea and Sky partly because he wanted to go home before New Year's and spend one last New Year with his mother.

After New Year's, it was about time he went to the Chu family to settle his feud with them.

The day passed very quickly.

After consoling Su Qian, Qiu Mu-Cheng went to work.

After work, she got Su Qian to help drive over to Liuyuan Residential District and got her to wait downstairs.

Ye Fan had found a house to rent, so Qiu Mu-Cheng was going to bring all her personal items over to her new house.

"Mu-Cheng, you ought to buy a car. You're the CEO of a company, so you can't just keep taking the bus," said Su Qian to Qiu Mu-Cheng downstairs.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and smiled bitterly. "You know Ye Fan and I don't have the money. Our first mission is to save up to buy a house. A car is nice to have, but a house is more important. I did think of buying a second-hand car for the time being, but it seems like I don't need to anymore. We're going to be neighbors from now on, so I'll just hitch a ride from you," said Qiu Mu-Cheng as if everything was all good.

Su Qian looked at her and rolled her eyes. "Mu-Cheng, I realized that after you've spent too much time with Ye Fan, you've learnt how to be as thick-skinned as him. You're wearing a diamond ring worth millions and you say you don't have money?"

Su Qian had already guessed that this diamond ring wasn't bought by Ye Fan at all.

She knew that fellow's background. There was no way he had this much money.

He had just gotten lucky back at Shanshui Hall and managed to discover a piece of imperial jade.

Sometimes foolish people got lucky, so Su Qian couldn't even fault him for that.

But Su Qian figured that after all that Ye Fan did last night, he had spent all the money he got from this piece of imperial jade.

Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled and replied, "Don't worry, you won't be at the losing end. I'll treat you to a good meal every month when I get paid, ok?"

"Humph, that's more like it. Alright now, go upstairs and get your things. I need to go to the hairdresser's tonight, so I don't have so much time to run errands for you. I'm very busy, ok?" Su Qian hurried Qiu Mu Cheng.

Qiu Mu-Cheng opened the car door and walked across the floor in her exquisite heels, and reached her house in no time.

"Mu-Cheng, you're finally home. Auntie Du has been waiting for you for such a long time. Come, let me introduce you. This gentleman here is Auntie Du's son, the sales manager of Yangtian Real Estate. He's only in his thirties but he already has two properties to his name and drives a Mercedes-Benz."

"He looks very energetic, over 1.8 meters tall and he's definitely a rare talent to come by. Come on, hurry up and sit down here to talk to Mr Du." Han Li immediately dragged Qiu Mu-Cheng to the living room the minute she stepped in.

A mother and son were sitting on the sofa while drinking tea. They both smiled warmly at Qiu Mu-Cheng when they saw her come in.
