A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 861 He Was Too Late

Seven days went by quickly.

Ye Fan prepared to leave for Japan on the night of the seventh day.

"Mr Chu, we have booked the tickets as you asked. The flight is tomorrow morning.

I suggest you head over to Jianghai tonight."

Li Er and Lei San were both at the Mount Yunding Villa.

Since Ye Fan was leaving, Li Er naturally came by to see him off.

Ye Fan had called Lei San to bring Suzumiya Eigetsu over.

They didn't bring her to Yunzhou when Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng returned. Instead, they kept her locked up in the Ye bungalow in Yunzhou.

Now that the seven days were up, Ye Fan asked for her to be sent over so they could head to Japan.

Li Er updated Ye Fan in a respectful tone and suggested they make a move tonight.

Ye Fan nodded. "Okay. Let's go."

"How dare you?"

Just as Ye Fan was going to get into the car and leave, a furious voice came from behind him.

It could only be Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Er...yes, my dear?" asked Ye Fan cautiously with his head sticking out of the car window.

"Get off the car! No matter how urgent things are, you should eat before leaving. You hear me?" said Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily to Ye Fan with no room for negotiation. "Er...alrightthen."

Ye Fan's lips twitched.

Ye Fan had no choice since his wife was the one who said it, so he naturally had to finish dinner before leaving.

"But Mr Chu, Mr Chen, and the others are waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."

Many influential leaders who had caught wind of Ye Fan's trip had come by.

They were all waiting at the foot of the mountain to see Ye Fan off.

It would have been better if Li Er hadn't said anything. Ye Fan instantly snapped, "Shut up already! Can't you see that I'm going to have dinner with my wife?! Tell them to wait, or else they can get lost. I don't care how they feel. Nothing is more important than eating with my wife!"

Ye Fan scolded Li Er harshly.

Then Ye Fan gave Li Er the cold shoulder and went in for dinner with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Li Er slumped his head and didn't dare to raise it for a long time.

"Haha! It's not your first rodeo. Don't you already know that Mr Chu is afraid of his wife? Why put yourself right in the line of fire? He let you off lightly by scolding you. If it were me, I would have kicked you," Li San laughed and gave snide remarks as he stood by the side.

"Lei San, you asshole!" scolded Li Er furiously with an angry look on his face.

But after they were done insulting each other, these two influential leaders broke out laughing.

"Mr Chu is the only person in Jiangdong who would dare to leave us out in the cold."

Li Er and Lei San shook their heads as they sighed.

Suzumiya Eigetsu, who had been quietly sitting in the car, instantly laughed when she witnessed the scene from inside the car.

An intoxicating smile appeared on her flawless face.

She clearly didn't expect the imposing martial arts expert whom her master faced off at Dongchang Lake to be henpecked by his wife. "He is genuinely intriguing, but it's such a pity"

No one noticed the look of pity and regret on Suzumiya Eigetsu's face.

No one knew precisely what this young woman was thinking.

Ye Fan finally came out 30 minutes later after dinner.

Before he left, Qiu Mu-Cheng reminded him, "Come back quickly, you asshole. Or else, I will find another man."

Qiu Mu-Cheng brandished her claws as she threatened Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's face instantly fell.

My goodness!

This woman could really be vicious.

Lei San almost convulsed from laughing just as Ye Fan's darkened.

Ye Fan was so angry that he kicked him. "What are you laughing at? Drive!"

Lei San didn't dare go on and immediately got into the car.

"Haha! Lei San, weren't you just laughing at me? You asked for it!" gloated Li Er as he laughed.

The engine rumbled, and the wheels flew into action.

The black luxury car pulled out of Mount Yunding Villa and headed out into the night.

Qiu Mu-Cheng stood at Mount Yunding peak with her red dress fluttering in the wind as she watched the man leave.

"You must come back safely."

A woman's soft voice rang in the cold wind.

Perhaps this was what living in bliss

meant.

No matter how far Ye Fan went, there was someone anxiously waiting for his return.

No matter where Ye Fan was, someone was dreaming about Ye Fan nonstop.

However, someone paid a visit to Mount Yunding Villa shortly after Ye Fan left.

Wu Wei-Tao had just walked in bearing lots of gifts.

He instantly smiled when he spotted Qiu Mu-Cheng standing in the courtyard and said, "Miss Qiu, is Mr Chu around?"

"Hi, Mayor Wu. What brings you here?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng as she smiled calmly. Despite her courteous tone, she sounded distant and cold. She seemed to have no intention of inviting Wu Wei-Tao into the villa for a seat.

"Miss Qiu, I came to talk about what happened at Shanshui Hall, it was a misunderstanding. I came by to apologize and explain myself. Miss Qiu, I am very sincere about apologizing. After all, Mr Chu hails from Yunzhou too. I admire him from the bottom of my heart and hope we can be friends," explained Wu Wei-Tao.

However, Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and smiled sarcastically.

"Sincerity? Mayor Wu, are you sincere? Let me ask you. If Ye Fan didn't command enough respect to make the head of the Mo family treat him with reverence, would you have come running to my door apologizing?"

"Well..." Wu Wei-Tao's lips twitched as he was instantly glued to the ground.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's words left him speechless.

Wu Wei-Tao's face flushed. He was at a loss about how to reply her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just scoffed.

She stopped lingering outside and turned to go back to the villa.

"Go back, Mayor Wu. You're too late. Ye Fan has already left."

The night wind carried Qiu Mu-Cheng's somewhat mocking words and reverberated into the air.

Wu Wei-Tao was left stunned for a long time. Then he heaved a sigh before leaving with his heart laden with regret.

Actually, Ye Fan had a pretty good impression of Wu Wei-Tao.

Back in the day, Wu Wei-Tao took the initiative to support Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony.

Ye Fan always remembered his kind gesture.

So Ye Fan didn't mind being friends with Wu Wei-Tao.

However, the incident at Shanshui Hall made Ye Fan see right through him.

Ye Fan never liked snobbish people.

So it was futile regardless of how Wu Wei-Tao tried to save the situation.

Sometimes, some crimes were unpardonable once they were committed.
