A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 618 A Furious Su Qian
"Mom, sorry we're late. Is Ming-Bo here too? Haha! That's perfect. Since everyone is here, I can introduce you. This is my daughter Qianqian. Ming-Bo, you met her a few years ago, do you still remember her?" said Su Yuan-Shan while Su Qian walked over and nodded to Ma Ming-Bo and smiled politely.
"Mhm, Uncle Su, I do know Qianqian. Qianqian has certainly grown even more lovely over the years," said Ma Ming-Bo as he smiled and got up hurriedly.
"Haha! Don't keep standing around. Take a seat. Yuan-Shan, sit by my side. Qianqian, sit with Ming-Bo. You haven't seen each other for years, so you should catch up tonight," said Granny as she assigned their seats to them after they arrived.
"Granny, this chair is dirty," someone from the Su family called out.
Granny waved her hand and said, "It's fine. I will get the servants to change it."
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and bring a clean chair over. Are you new? Don't you have any initiative?" said Granny unhappily to Ye Fan as he stood next to Su Yuan-Shan.
Ye Fan frowned without saying a word.
The corner of Su Yuan-Shan's eyes twitched as he explained, "Mom, this is your future grandson-in-law, so be nice. Otherwise, he might be unfilial to you in the future."
What?
"Him? My future grandson-in-law?" asked Granny in a daze.
Everyone was shocked too.
Ma Ming-Bo asked Su Qian especially curiously, "Qianqian, which one of your cousins' fiance is he? Wasn't she too rash with the decision?"
Granny was perplexed too as she asked, "Is it Beibei's boyfriend? How dare she start dating behind my back when she should be studying?
Su Yuan-Shan shook his head and replied, "Mom, he isn't Beibei's boyfriend. He's Su Qian's boyfriend. Didn't I tell you about a young man called Ye Fan with a bright future? Ye Fan and Su Qian make a great couple. This is Ye Fan. Ye Fan, come over and greet your Granny."
Su Yuan-Shan smiled nonstop.
But everyone was dumbstruck when they heard him.
Ma Ming-Bo was especially surprised, so his expression turned dark immediately.
Granny's face altered slightly too.
After all, everyone in the Su family was aware that Granny organized the gathering to help matchmake Ma Ming-Bo and Su Qian.
But this loser appeared out of nowhere.
"This is probably going to get exciting," muttered a Su family member at the dining table.
But there were some things that everyone just knew about and never spoke about.
So most of them just kept eating without uttering a word.
But Granny couldn't hold herself back and said angrily, "Yuan-Shan, what's going on? Why didn't you say you were bringing him over? This family has high standards, so we can't let any random man in. You should have at least told me he was coming and let me decide whether he had the right to sit and dine with the Su family."
The old lady sounded faintly angry.
She had just promised Ma Ming-Bo to help win Su Qian over, so it was undoubtedly a tight slap on the old lady's face for this to happen, and it was no surprise that she got angry.
"Granny, I was the one who brought Fan here. Haven't you been rushing me to get hitched? Since we were having a family banquet, I brought Fan over for you to see him," said Su Qian as she chuckled. Then she held Ye Fan's arm and beamed brightly at her grandmother.
Ye Fan felt uneasy all over when he felt Su Qian's softness and warmth.
The corner of Ye Fan's eyes twitched subtly. He thought Su Qian ought to be awarded an Oscar for her astounding acting.
"Qianqian, I did rush you, but you can't find any man just because you were desperate. Your future husband will have to uphold the Su family's dignity, so I can't have you dating some random man," said her grandmother very angrily.
Ye Fan's presence already made her furious. Moreover, he looked like a pauper. How could he be wearing jeans and sports shoes on his first visit?
Initially, she thought Ye Fan was Su Yuan-Shan's driver.
This undoubtedly made the old lady even angrier.
"Granny, how can you say that? We can't judge a book by its cover. Ye Fan's incredible. Ye Fan was the one who discovered that painting that was worth millions and bought it for peanuts and gave it to Dad," explained Su Qian.
"That painting? He probably used all the luck in his lifetime to buy that painting for a steal! How can luck be considered ability? Ming-Bo has true ability and is able to help his father manage billions of assets on his own," said Granny as she shook her head.
"Enough, Mom. Since Ye Fan is already here, why don't we give him a seat?
Moreover, you can look down on a poor old man, but not a poor youth who might have a limitless future. What would we know about what the future holds? Perhaps in a few decades, Fan might become famous in Yunzhou? I trust Su Qian," said Su Yuan-Shan as he chuckled and smoothened things over.
Then Ye Fan sat down with Su Qian.
"Make a name for himself in Yunzhou? Everyone harbors such dreams, but in the end the most influential man in Yunzhou is Master Li Er. In the entire Jiangdong, isn't Mr Chu the only other powerful person who appeared? Do you think he will become someone like Master Li Er or Mr Chu in the future?" asked Granny as she shook her head and remained displeased with Ye Fan.
But she stopped making things hard for Ye Fan and allowed him to take a seat.
After all, Ma Ming-Bo was present, so it would be a disgrace if she made things too hard for Ye Fan.
"Okay, is everyone here? Then send the food," said Granny. Dishes were then sent to the dining table.
The banquet officially commenced.
"Qianqian, I recall you liked papaya porridge the most. Shall I get you some?" asked Ma Ming-Bo as he reached out and helped Su Qian scoop some rice.
Then Su Qian replied, "No, I'll pass, my boyfriend will help me get some. Right, Ye
Fan?"
Su Qian kicked Ye Fan from under the table when he didn't respond and glared hard at him.
Ye Fan scooped Su Qian a bowl of rice reluctantly.
Su Qian was almost going to die of fury when she caught sight of this!
Darn!
Was she that loathsome?
Although Su Qian didn't fancy Ye Fan, women were competitive at heart.
Ye Fan was always thoughtful whenever he dined with Qiu Mu-Cheng. He would get her food and rice and was super considerate.
But this scoundrel couldn't be bothered with Su Qian, and it undoubtedly made her feel defeated.
It was the first time Su Qian lost
confidence in her charm.
