A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 245 The Furious Qiu Mu-Cheng

While the Qiu family was still wailing by the road, Ye Fan had reached the first floor with the two ladies. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Mu-Cheng, didn't you say that Ye Fan actually found a rock with imperial jade? Take me to see it!" Su

Qian was really someone who wasn't sentimental at all. She was already no longer depressed about

what happened earlier and kept pestering Qiu Mu-Cheng to show her that imperial jade rock.

Su Qian had always liked all sorts of jewelry and was very curious about this extremely famous imperial

jade that she had heard much about.

"But Mu-Cheng, I'm still really doubtful. Ye Fan is just a pauper and he really discovered imperial jade?

Do you know how much imperial jade is worth? I've seen a jade necklace made from imperial jade that

cost at least $100 million. I nearly fainted when I saw the price and I didn't even dare to take a closer

look, never mind buy it," Su Qian continued to ramble on.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just laughed helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you see it later."

They reached the counter and told the staff that they were here to collect their item.

"Oh? But Miss Qiu, didn't you get someone to collect it on your behalf earlier?" The counter staff asked

her quizzically.

Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately frowned. "When did I let someone collect it on my behalf? Did you make a

mistake?"

"That's not possible. There were so many of them earlier, and they said they were your sister and uncle

or something along those lines. A group of them came together and they even brought the family

register along," explained the staff.

After Qiu Mu-Cheng heard this, her face instantly paled and her eyes widened.

"What did you say? Someone claiming to be my relatives took the item? What are all of you doing?

How could you let them take away something that belongs to me?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was going crazy from being so angry.

She knew those people from the Qiu family well. If they got their hands on that jadeite, she could forget

about getting it back!

That was a $200 million imperial jade! Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't expect Qiu Mu-Ying and the family to be

despicable enough to do something like this.

"Miss Qiu, what's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie had just come out from the auction hall to see that Qiu Mu-Cheng's face

was red and seething with anger.

"What on earth?! Someone collected the imperial jade on your behalf without permission? I'll be

fucked!" Shen Fei was terribly shocked when he heard what happened and flew into a rage instantly.

"Where's the manager? Get your manager here right now!" roared Shen Fei angrily.

That imperial jade was discovered by Ye Fan and part of it was to be sold to Shen Group too, so of

course Shen Fei was equally furious that this great treasure was gone just like that.

The moment Zhang Boren came out, Shen Fei kicked him hard and sent him rolling onto the floor.

"Young Master Shen, what's the matter?" Zhang Boren was shocked and confused.

Shanshui Hall belonged to Li Er, but everyone in Yunzhou knew who Shen Jiu-Yi was. Shen Jiu-Yi

wasn't just ridiculously rich, but he was also one of Li Er's favorites. Since Shen Fei was the heir to the

Shens, Zhang Boren didn't dare to offend him at all.

"I really...Who gave you the guts to give that jadeite to someone else? Don't you know that the policy

here is that only the actual person is allowed to collect the items that are placed here for safekeeping?"

yelled Shen Fei with bloodshot eyes.

Zhang Boren quickly put two and two together and replied fearfully, "It was just a rock and...and they

said they were Miss Qiu's relatives, so...so I..."

"So you did something bloody stupid!” Shen Fei was so angry that he slapped the manager. He was

really on the verge of going mad.

"Just a rock? Zhang Boren, you're in deep trouble! Do you know what rock that was? That was imperial

jade! Glass imperial jade! It's worth as much as $200 million! And you were idiotic enough to give

something worth $200 million to somebody else without thinking? You're going to pay for this! Shit! How

could Shanshui Hall hire someone so stupid!" Shen Fei continued to curse angrily at Zhang Boren

because he was so angry.

But since things had turned out like this, there was no use in scolding the manager. They had to think

of a way to get that jadeite back.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Cheng decided to look for the Qiu family.

"Ye Fan, I'm really sorry. It's all because of my relatives, so..."

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt terribly guilty. She knew her aunts and uncles were very greedy people but she

didn't expect them to stoop this low for the sake of money.

Now her relatives had actually taken something that belonged to Ye Fan, so she felt guilty and sorry

towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan just laughed and consoled her, "Mu-Cheng, it's alright. If they want it, they can have it. They're

your relatives anyway, and not somebody we don't know."

"No, this won't do. Ye Fan, I'm going to pay them a visit right now and ask how they could be so

terrible! Don't worry, I'll get that jadeite back from them." Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were all red from her

anger as she got Su Qian to drive them to her grandfather's house so that she could settle this matter

with those relatives of hers.

"Miss Qiu, I'll go with you.'

Shen Fei was also feeling motivated and wanted to go along with Qiu Mu-Cheng. Before leaving, he

angrily kicked Zhang Boren one more time. "You useless fellow! You'd better start praying that we can

get it back! Otherwise, you won't be able to compensate us even if you sell everything you have, and

we'll even throw you into jail!"

Shen Fei and the rest left, leaving Zhang Boren pale faced and sprawled on the floor. His heart was

both terrified and cold.

He never thought that an ordinary looking rock would actually turn out to be worth $200 million.

He thought he was just doing someone he knew a favor. He didn't expect to get into such big trouble!

Zhang Boren was so terrified, his hands trembled as he called Qiu Guang.

"Boren? I've run into a small problem here, so about treating you..."

But before Qiu Guang could finish his sentence, Zhang Boren started yelling furiously, "You bastard!

Qiu Guang, you actually got me into trouble! I must have been blind to trust you! Just you wait! If I go

bankrupt because of this, then I won't let you off even after I die! You bastard, you animal!!”

The entire first floor was echoing with Zhang Boren's howling.

Qiu Guang was so frightened that his face paled and his body trembled. He quickly hung up on Zhang

Boren.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had gotten into Su Qian's car and they were headed for Master Qiu's house.

Shen Fei wanted to go along, but after thinking about it, he decided that since this was Mr Chu's

domestic affairs, it was better for him not to go. After all, the Qiu family was related to Mr Chu's wife

and he didn't dare to offend them even if he was there.

No matter how close he was to Ye Fan, he would never be as close as relatives were.

But despite losing something that was worth $200 million, Ye Fan looked like it had nothing to do with

him and he was very calm.

"Mr Ye, someone has actually collected the jadeite without prior permission! How can you still remain

so calm? Aren't you the slightest bit anxious?" asked Shen Fei anxiously.

Ye Fan shrugged. "So what if I become anxious? Should I go and bash up my wife's family over this?"

Shen Fei felt that Ye Fan had a point too. "Sigh, things get really difficult when relatives get involved."

"If it's just someone you know, then you could just cut ties and never contact that person ever again.

But relatives are related to you no matter what you do. Blood ties and familial ties are not so easy to

sever."

Shen Fei sighed as he thought about this. He seemed to have despaired in his heart and figured that

he wouldn't be able to get that imperial jade back.

But Ye Fan just smiled faintly, "Look at how dejected you look. Isn't it just a rock after all?”

"Also, do you believe in this? There are some things in this world that are yours no matter what

happens, and nobody can snatch it away from you. But if it's not fated to be yours, then you'd never

have it no matter what you do.” Ye Fan's voice sounded like a gentle gust of wind as he spoke slowly.

Shen Fei nodded as if he understood. Or maybe he didn't understand.
