A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 242 Two Wastrel Daughters

"Mu-Cheng, why are you bidding too? Are you dumb? You want to spend a few hundred thousand just

to have a meal with someone? You just scolded me for wasting money, but at least I bought something

useful. And you? You're just bidding for a chance! It's something that you can't even see or touch! You

two are really wastrel daughters!" Ye Fan nagged Qiu Mu-Cheng while laughing bitterly inside

Before Qiu Mu-Cheng could say anything, Su Qian got angry and snapped back, "You're just a pauper!

What do you know?!"

"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin alright. You don't know anything."

"Did you know that the king of stocks and shares, Warren Buffett, auctions off a chance to have lunch

with him every year? So many people want to bid for it and they're willing to spend more than $10

million. So you're saying that these people are dumb? They're stupid? But all these dumb bidders are

all famous people and they're all worth millions!" retorted Su Qian as she snorted. She stared at Ye Fan

with great disdain in her eyes.

"You're really just a country bumpkin and your worldview is only an inch wide! Do you think this is a

simple meal? This is an opportunity! An opportunity to get to know Mr Chu! If you catch Mr Chu's eye,

then might get millions if not billions!"

"Mu-Cheng, I told you long ago that he's from a different universe from us and we can't even

communicate. You didn't believe me back then, but what about now? He's really just a louse from the

village and his knowledge and worldview is so far off from us. I told you long ago that both of you are

not suited for one another."

Su Qian never passed up any chance to tell Qiu Mu-Cheng to divorce Ye Fan, and this time was no

exception.

"Alright now, Qianqian. We'll talk about this another time. You'd better focus on grabbing this

opportunity."

Qiu Mu-Cheng ignored Ye Fan's advice and even glared at him as she angrily said,

"You didn't want me to poke my nose in your business earlier, so you shan't poke your nose in mine

now."

Fine!

There was no point in getting scolded for being kind.

Ye Fan couldn't be bothered either. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She'd better not regret it!

Ye Fan scoffed in his heart and folded his arms as he turned aside. He couldn't be bothered with them.

He had already tried to remind her. If these two girls really managed to get the chance and found that

the person seated across from her was really her own husband, he wondered if she could still be so

rude to him.

The bidding war downstairs was still intense and the price just kept going up.

It soon hit $5 million.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had already given up. She didn't have that much money.

But Su Qian persisted and called out, "$6 million!"

"Just $6 million? How could this person even make such a bid?" Sun Yu-Hao had just been watching

the proceedings quietly downstairs and couldn't help laughing disdainfully when he heard a voice from

the private room again.

Sun Yu-Hao finally broke his silence and made a bid, "$10 million!"

Sun Yu-Hao had added $4 million at one shot.

Su Qian's little face paled. Her father had only given her $10 million for this auction and allowed her to

bid for something if she wanted to.

But now, it was clearly insufficient.

"Qianqian, why don't we forget it? Two of us can't beat those really wealthy people," Qiu Mu-Cheng

tried to persuade Su Qian.

"No way! This is a rare opportunity and I can't give up now. I've already missed the chance the last time

and I'm not missing it again!” declared Su Qian stubbornly.

Su Qian then called her father and explained the situation to Su Yuan-Shan.

"Dad, this is an opportunity that the Su family cannot miss," Su Qian continued to try persuading her

father.

Su Yuan-Shan was silent for some time before replying her seriously, "Alright then, Qianqian. I'll give

you $100 million to bid for this chance!”

"The Su family will count on you to become one of the major powers of Yunzhou!"

"Alright Dad, I won't let you down!" Su Qian was ecstatic after she had received more funds from her

father. After promising her father confidently, she went back to bidding.

In no time.

$10 million...

$20 million...

$30 million...

$50 million...

This item originally started at $1 but it was now climbing at a frightening and insane rate. It was going

to hit $100 million soon.

Li Er watched as the bids climbed and even he felt that this was really beyond his imagination.

He didn't think that something he had just used as a gimmick for his auction had become so popular

among the crowd.

He had underestimated the position that Mr Chu had in the hearts of the people in Jiangdong.

But then again, Mr Chu was now like the sky that covered Jiangdong and even Chen Ao revered him

like a god.

If one could get close to someone like that, then the benefits that one would receive would be much

more than just money.

Besides, money was just a number and one could always earn it back if you lost it.

But if you lost the opportunity to have a face to face chat with Mr Chu, then it might never come by

again.

This sort of rare opportunity couldn't be measured in money in the first place. Its value depended

entirely on how much the people valued it.

"$100 million!"

Someone finally stood up and pushed the bidding price to $100 million.

Su Qian's face instantly paled.

She never thought that so many other people would also want this chance so

badly.

Su Qian didn't want to give up, so she called her father again.

"$50 million! I'll give you an additional $50 million, but that's all I can spare. If you still can't get it, then

we have to give it up. There is a limit to how much money the family can spare," replied Su Yuan-Shan

grimly.

Su Qian nodded and continued with bidding.

But it was pointless. The bidding price quickly went past $150 million.

Su Qian's face was as white as a sheet and she looked like she didn't have any strength left in her. She

sat down limply on the sofa with her eyes all red. "Mu-Cheng, what am I going to do now?"

“Do I really have to give up?"

"But we've already missed our chance the last time. If we miss it again, we might never get another

chance."

Su Qian's voice was cracking up. That was how much she wanted this opportunity.

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt bad for her when she saw how miserable Su Qian looked.

Eventually, Qiu Mu-Cheng clenched her teeth and said to Su Qian, "Qianqian, I'll help you! But you

must promise that when you meet Mr Chu, you must help me to ask him a few questions."

"Huh?" Su Qian was stunned for a moment. "Mu-Cheng, you want to help me? Do you have that much

money?"

"I don't, but he does," Qiu Mu-Cheng glanced over.

Su Qian glanced over in the same direction as her.

Ye Fan was sitting with his legs crossed on an armchair and playing with his phone. When he heard his

name, he looked up with a slightly dazed look on his face and asked, "What is it, Mu-Cheng? Has the

auction ended? Is it time to go home?"

Ye Fan thought that the auction had come to an end and Qiu Mu-Cheng was telling him to go home, so

he stood up and headed for the door.
