A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 279 Things Get Awkward

"What...what did we do?"

Up ahead, Wang Xing-Duo yelled and pointed at Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband as the police restrained

him.

Qiu Mu-Ying's face paled and there was fear in her eyes. She had no idea what happened.

Master Qiu and the others were equally clueless. What happened? They just had lunch. Why was the

police here?

What crime did they commit?

A few policemen had walked up by now. They took out the jade hairpin and asked, "Did you give them

this jade hairpin?"

When Qiu Mu-Ying heard these words, her heart trembled.

She recalled that this jade hairpin and that Volkswagen Phaeton were given to Qiu Mu-Cheng at the

auction.

But Qiu Mu-Ying and her family snatched the car from Qiu Mu-Cheng and even took it for a spin at

Yunwu Lake. In the end, they went straight into the police station, and the police arrested the entire

family.

At that time, it seemed to be because the Volkswagen Phaeton was of unknown origins and was a

stolen car.

When the thought came to Qiu Mu-Ying's mind, she started to panic. Could the jade hairpin be stolen

goods too?

"Speak up!"

Qiu Mu-Ying didn't dare to say a word. But the police were losing their patience, so they shouted coldly.

"Officer, what happened? We did give them this jade hairpin," said Master Qiu as he admitted

unknowingly.

"Ha! It's good that you admitted it! How can you steal something from our foreign friends? Did you

know that this jade hairpin belonged to an English princess? It has now become a tricky diplomatic

matter and you're in big trouble!" shouted the police coldly as he arrested Qiu Mu-

Ying and the others and brought them to the police station.

All four of them, along with Wang Xing-Duo and his wife, were just happily chatting over lunch together.

And now they were all arrested.

The police department placed emphasis on cases that involved foreigners. And worse still, it was a

member of the English royal family.

So every single one of them was brought in for investigation.

"Officer, it had nothing to do with me. So why are you arresting me? They were the ones who gave me

that jade hairpin.

What's going on?"

Wang Xing-Duo's miserable crying could be heard from inside the police car came. He probably

wanted to kick Qiu Mu-Ying and others to death now.

Not long after they were taken away, a skinny silhouette quietly appeared.

It was Ye Fan.

After he sent Qiu Mu-Cheng off, he returned to Meinian Restaurant.

Ye Fan wasn't going to forgive them easily for bullying his wife.

"Qiu Mu-Ying, oh Qiu Mu-Ying, I have you to thank for this. If you didn't give me this idea, it would have

been more troublesome for me," said Ye Fan as he shook his head and smiled. He was just wondering

how he should punish them when he saw Qiu Mu-Ying give away the jade hairpin, and he came up

with a plan.

He bought these things for Qiu Mu-Cheng at the auction and Ye Fan was unaware of their shady

origins until the auction house called to tell him.

"I didn't think Qiu Mu-Ying would have kept the jade hairpin. It looks like the incident with the

Volkswagen Phaeton wasn't big enough a lesson to her. In that case, I will make sure you remember

this time."

Ye Fan laughed softly and then went

home.

On the way home, Ye Fan received a call from Su Yuan-Shan.

He said there was a painting exhibition tomorrow and hoped Ye Fan could attend it.

"Fan, the painting by Zhang Daqian that you bought from Eight Treasure Hall will be a part of the

exhibition. Since you were the one who bought it, I hope you can bring it over for the exhibition. I

believe this painting will be a sensation in the Yunzhou art scene! After all, no other work by Zhang

Daqian has emerged in Yunzhou for years. Your name will be displayed along with the painting, so you

will be making a mark in the history of art exhibition in Yunzhou.”

Su Yuan-Shan enthusiastically invited Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan wasn't too interested. After all, he didn't know much about Chinese brush painting and

calligraphy. The only reason why he was able to identify Zhang Daqian's work was entirely because of

the power that the Book of Celestial Cloud gave him.

He rejected him by telling him he was returning to his hometown tomorrow to visit his mother.

When Su Yuan-Shan found out, he sighed regretfully, "That's okay. It's alright if you aren't free. After all,

filial piety should be everyone's priority, so your mother is more important. Since you aren't going to the

exhibition, I won't go either. I'll visit your mum with you so that we can talk about you and Qianqian's

wedding..."

Ye Fan stumbled and nearly fell when he heard these words. He quickly added on, "Er...Uncle Su, I

suddenly realized I mixed up my mother's birthday with the lunar one. So I won't be going back

tomorrow. Tell me where and when the exhibition will be held. I'll be there tomorrow for sure."

After chatting for a long time, Ye Fan hung up the phone and exhaled deeply.

Fortunately, he managed to dodge it this time. Otherwise, if Su Yuan-Shan went along with Ye Fan to

visit his mother, Ye

Fan didn't know how that would happen in the future.

It was a small thing for his lies to get exposed, but Ye Fan was more worried that Su Yuan-Shan would

be even more insistent about him marrying his daughter. If that happened, Ye Fan wouldn't even know

how to save himself.

Although Su Qian had a lot of potential in the looks department, Ye Fan honestly couldn't stand her foul

temper.

How could he stand being married to a woman like this?

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, oh Qiu Mu-Cheng, look at the huge problem you created for me.”

Ye Fan smiled bitterly without saying a word. After all, if Qiu Mu-Cheng hadn't helped Su Qian to put up

an act in front of Su Yuan-Shan, Su Yuan-Shan wouldn't have taken a liking to him.

Ye Fan reached home very quickly.

But after Ye Fan opened the door to enter the room, an unexpected sweet scent wafted towards him.

A soft body fell into his arms. Ye Fan could smell the mesmerizing scent on the woman's neck and

distinctly felt her lethally soft breasts. It made him stiffen completely.

"Mu-Cheng, Jingjing misses you so much. I heard Grandpa chased you out from the Qius, so I came This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

over immediately. Grandpa is too much! How could he be so harsh!"

A little girl's delicate and angry voice came from the person in Ye Fan's arms

She had a lovely voice that sounded as soft as her body.

"You...you two?" Qiu Mu-Cheng's shocked voice came from behind Ye Fan before he had the chance

to even speak.

When she saw Ye Fan hugging a woman, Qiu Mu-Cheng was stunned.

"What? Mu-Cheng?" Lu Wen-Jing raised her pretty face and saw Qiu Mu-Cheng standing in front of

her. She blinked several times because she realized something was very wrong somewhere.

If this pretty woman before her was Mu-Cheng, then the person she was hugging was...

"AHEM! Young lady, can you get off me?" Ye Fan coughed a few times and laughed awkwardly.

Very quickly, her face turned scarlet. Then a shrill cry pierced through the air, "AH! You scoundrel. You

pervert!"
