A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 646 Gathering of Everyone from Before

"My goodness, what's going on today? Even the road has been closed off? Is a high ranking official from the government coming? What a grand affair!"

Many passersby were looking in from outside Haiyuan Restaurant.

When they saw that those big shots from various industries were all gathered together in this place, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Tsk, a high ranking government official? All these frogs in the well wouldn't know anything about the prestige of Mr Chu!" snorted Su Qian when she heard the comments of the passersby after getting out of the car. Her exquisite face was filled with an air of superiority.

After that, Su Qian couldn't be bothered with all these lowlifes and turned to hurry Qiu Mu-Cheng along. "Come on Mu-Cheng, walk faster."

"If we're too late, we can't go in. Besides, Ming-Bo said he'll introduce us to some of his friends. All the people here are rich men's sons, so you'd better make good use of this chance. For all you know, you might become a rich man's wife in the near future," grinned Su Qian.

"Qianqian, Mu-Cheng, come over here. Zi-Yang and my other friends are here, I'll introduce you guys," called out Ma Ming-Bo from the front.

There were a few young men in expensive suits and women in elegant dresses who came walking over with bright smiles.

What a coincidence - Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng actually knew some of the people in this group.

"Fan Zhong-Xian? Why are you here too?"

That's right, the one right in front sitting in a wheelchair was the man who tried to woo Qiu Mu-Cheng not too long ago, Fan Zhong-Xian.

The Fan family was quite powerful in Yunzhou too, so it wasn't surprising that they had enough connections to get into this place.

Besides Fan Zhong-Xian, Xia Yue and Xia Xue were around too.

After the incident at the teahouse, all of them were given a dressing down by Liang Bo's father and Liang Bo cut off all contact with them.

He never picked up their calls nor replied their messages.

And because of that, they never knew why Liang Hao-Nan was so furious that day.

"Mu-Cheng, you're here too?" Fan Zhong-Xian was a little surprised to see Qiu Mu-Cheng here.

He clearly did not expect Qiu Mu-Cheng to appear in a place like this.

But when he saw how Ma Ming-Bo was trying so hard to gain Su Qian's favor, he figured it out.

"I suppose Young Master Ma must have gotten Mu-Cheng an invitation card on account of her relationship with Su Qian," thought Fan Zhong-Xian to himself.

Ma Ming-Bo just laughed at this. "Oh, so you guys already know each other!"

"Of course we do. Xian's leg is in this predicament because of someone's useless husband!" Xia Yue looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng as she said these words with a cold expression.

Qiu Mu-Cheng bowed her head and didn't say anything.

"Yue'er, don't spout nonsense!" Fan Zhong-Xian glared at Xia Yue. Xia Yue scoffed and turned to look elsewhere and didn't say anymore.

"Ming-Bo, these two ladies are...?" The man standing right in the middle was a little lost.

"Oh, Zi-Yang, this is the lady I've told you about before. This is Su Qian, daughter of Su Yuan-Shan, the CEO of Yuanshan Group. This lady here is Qianqian's best friend, Qiu Mu-Cheng," Ma Ming-Bo quickly introduced them.

Li Zi-Yang suddenly started laughing.

"Oh, so this is Su Qian. Hello, Miss Su, I've heard Ming-Bo mention you a lot when we were studying in the US and I've always been so curious as to what sort of woman would make this buddy of mine go crazy over. Now that I've seen you in person, you are very beautiful indeed."

Li Zi-Yang went over to shake Su Qian's hand.

But Su Qian was surprised. "Zi-Yang? Are you Master Li Er's son, Li Zi-Yang?"

Su Qian knew all about Li Er's son.

Li Zi-Yang used to be famous in Yunzhou for making use of his father's influence to protect him while creating a lot of havoc along with Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie. They made trouble everywhere and did whatever they wanted without any consequences.

Back then, he nearly ended up getting someone killed.

Li Er then sent Li Zi-Yang out of Yunzhou in a fit of anger, so there was a lot less trouble in Yunzhou after that.

Su Qian didn't expect Li Zi-Yang to return.

There was going to be trouble in Yunzhou again.

"Miss Su, you actually remember my name? What an honor," Li Zi-Yang smiled faintly. Then he looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and laughed, "Before this, I was wondering where all the pretty ladies of Yunzhou had gone. After seeing both of you, I finally have an answer. You and Su Qian are 70% of all the beauty that Yunzhou has!"

"Oho, Zi-Yang, you're right!" Ma Ming-Bo immediately clapped in agreement.

"After coming back from overseas, you're getting so good at talking!"

But Qiu Mu-Cheng just replied a little awkwardly, "Young Master Li, you're too kind."

Li Zi-Yang shook his head. "It's not an empty compliment, I'm speaking the truth. If I met you a few years ago, I'd definitely make you my wife. But you're too late, I already have someone in mind."

"Oh wow, how pretty much this girl be for you to be so enamored? I'm so curious as to what she looks like," said Su Qian very curiously.

Ma Ming-Bo laughed bitterly. "Qianqian, no need to be curious. You just saw Zi-Yang's goddess the other day."

"The other day?" Su Qian froze for a while before exclaiming, "You mean the heiress to the Chen family in Jianghai, Chen Nan?"

Ma Ming-Bo nodded. "That's right. In all of Jiangdong, the only person whom Zi-Yang can only pine for but can't get is the heiress to the Chen family."

In the past, Jiangdong had two goddesses.

One of them was the richest woman in Yunzhou, the CEO of Hongqi Group, Xu Lei.

But Xu Lei came from a powerful background, so many suitors didn't dare to woo her.

The other goddess was Chen Ao's daughter, Chen Nan.

After all, Chen Nan wasn't just pretty, but she was also the daughter of the king of Jiangdong.

Anybody who married her would also become the next king of Jiangdong.

As a result, many rich men's sons tried all means and ways to woo Chen Nan.

Ma Ming-Bo tried, Lei Ao-Ting tried too and now Li Zi-Yang.

None of them had been successful!

Eventually, Ma Ming-Bo gave up.

But Li Zi-Yang was still persistent!

"Zi-Yang, now your father has become one of Mr Chu's most trusted subordinates, so Master Er's prestige has already surpassed Chen Ao thanks to Mr Chu's reputation. In the past, Chen Nan could choose to ignore us because of how powerful her father was, but now, I'm sure she won't dare to reject you anymore," said Ma Ming-Bo placatingly.

"But of course! I've come all the way back here for Nannan's sake. If I can't get her, I'm not going back!" declared Li Zi-Yang.

"But seriously though, the banquet is about to start, so where is she? Isn't she coming?" said Li Zi-Yang worriedly.

Just when they were talking about this, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in their line of view.

"Speak of the devil. Zi-Yang, look who's here?" Ma Ming-Bo immediately burst out laughing.
