A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 16

"What~What~"

"What~"

The room went dead still and the Qius stared with their mouths open.

Outside, the cold wind blew and ravaged the land.

In the room, the pleas of the Shens reverberated for a while.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was instantly rooted to the spot, as she looked at the scene unfolding before her in disbelief.

She could not believe that, Shen Jiu-Yi, the head of a multibillion family, would grovel in front of Ye Fan and beg for mercy. It was especially unbelievable because Master Li Er was the patron of the Shen family.

But when she thought about the events that had happened before, Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't help but suspect that Ye Fan might, in fact, be hiding some secrets about himself.

As for Wang Qiao-Yu, Qiu Mu-Ying and the rest of the Qiu family, they looked as if they had just been slapped in the face. And all of them just stood there agape.

What's this?

What's going on?

Wasn't Ye Fan just a useless trash?

Wasn't he just a live-in son-in-law?

A trash without wealth or power?

The Qius' minds went blank when they saw Shen Jiu-Yi and his son grovelling in front of Ye Fan, after they had pushed Master Qiu away. Meanwhile, the old patriarch was still squatting on the floor like a dog. After getting pushed down earlier, he had not been able to muster the strength to get up. But at that moment, the shock reverberating through his mind was much greater than the pain on his butt.

Standing in stark contrast to the stupefied members of the Qiu family, Ye Fan had a calm demeanor.

His face was expressionless as he looked down on the kneeling father-and-son pair. Ye Fan said coldly, "Are you afraid now? When you insulted Mu-Cheng earlier, did you not think of the consequence?"

Ye Fan's angry castigation frightened the Shens so badly that they started trembling and did not dare to lift their heads. Now that they knew Ye Fan's true identity, they did not even dare to look him in the eye.

As for Shen Fei, he had already been scared witless back at the Li family manor.

Before this day, he would never have thought that the trash that everyone had looked down on was actually a dragon among men.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Get over there and apologize!"

Ye Fan barked out an angry command and the Shens got up in a hurry. They darted over to where Qiu Mu-Cheng was standing and prepared to go down on their knees.

But at that moment, Wang Qiao-Yu hurried over and said: "President Shen, do not be fooled by this fox pretending to be a tiger. He is just a useless piece of trash. A live-in son-in-law without power or money. An idiot. His name is not Chu. You are mistaken."

"The real Mister Chu is right here?"

As she was chatting away, Wang Qiao-Yu called for her son-in-law and daughter. She wanted to present them to Shen Jiu-Yi.

If her family could get to know a big shot like Shen Jiu-Yi, their position within the Qiu family would rise to the top. Even Master Qiu himself would have to suck up to them.

"Screw you!"

But, just as Wang Qiao-Yu had finished talking, Shen Jiu-Yi slapped her in the face and Shen Fei jumped over to kick her in the stomach.

"You silly bitch, how dare you insult Mister Chu?"

"Who gave you the audacity to do so!"

Shen Jiu-Yi and his son had nearly pissed themselves. After severely castigating Wang Qiao-Yu, the father-and-son pair hurried over to Qiu Mu-Cheng and fell to their knees with a pong sound. And then they proceeded to beg for forgiveness.
