A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 566

"What? Did you say it's a yellow river carp? You were conned! It's just regular farm-bred fish," said the head chef confidently.

Damn!

"So it's fake?”

Fan Zhong-Xian's face instantly fell.

The people who were condemning Ye Fan earlier on fell silent.

It never crossed their minds that Ye Fan would be right.

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were overwhelmed by shock and immediately thought a little more highly of him.

Was the man not only a highly-skilled martial artist but also a food connoisseur?

"Mr Fan, do you remember what you said?" said Ye Fan as he laughed softly.

Fan Zhong-Xian's face darkened and he was extremely furious, but he didn't utter a word.

Yuan Yuan and Situ Feng took the opportunity to attack Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, you ingrate! Fan Zhong-Xian invited you to stay out of the goodness of his heart and let you freeload. But you were unappreciative and hit him when he was down after he got conned! You're just shameless!"

"Mu-Cheng, how could you have married someone like him?" said Yuan Yuan indignantly.

Fan Zhong-Xian waved them away and said, "Forget it. He won fair and square. Mu-Cheng, I will apologize to you."

Fan Zhong-Xian looked like he was going to kneel and apologize to Qiu Mu-Cheng as he spoke.

Su Qian quickly stopped him and persuaded Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Mu-Cheng, say something!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng pulled Fan Zhong-Xian back up and said, "Fan Zhong-Xian, it was just a joke, so there is no need to take it so seriously.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng attempted to reconcile the matter.

Ye Fan looked on from the side and sighed. "Mu-Cheng, you're too honest. He's just pretending to kneel, but you bought it. Did you think Fan Zhong-Xian would kneel and apologize to you?” said Ye Fan as he shook his head.

Ye Fan certainly knew what Fan Zhong-Xian was up to.

If he were willing to admit defeat, he would have knelt right away. He deliberately reminded Qiu Mu-Cheng because he was clearly confident that Qiu Mu-Cheng would stop him in the end.

Then he would be rescued from further embarrassment and succeed in defending his integrity.

Ye Fan had to admit that Fan Zhong-Xian planned this well.

But there were some things that were better left unspoken. Once it was revealed, then it made things very awkward.

Sure enough, Fan Zhong-Xian's face turned icy cold.

"You brat, are you making trouble? I pitied you and kept you for dinner on account of Mu-Cheng. If you want to be an ingrate, don't blame me for being heartless. Get lost now! I don't feel like treating you to dinner anymore," said Fan Zhong-Xian as he exploded furiously.

Ye Fan put Fan Zhong-Xian on the spot repeatedly. No matter how good a temper Fan Zhong-Xian might have had, it would have worn thin by now.

"Me? Look for trouble?" said Ye Fan as he immediately laughed as though he had heard the funniest joke on earth. "Are you saying that I should stand by and do nothing when someone confesses to my wife? Should I stand by and watch on when someone is interested in my wife?"

"You freaking got that right!" said Fan Zhong-Xian as he laughed maliciously.

"Mu-Cheng is such a ravishing beauty that it's an absolute mistake for her to marry you. I am the one who truly deserves to be with her and take care of her for the rest of her life. You are just a pauper from the countryside and unfit to have her! Now, she has met the right man. If you know what's good for you, then you should back off on your own and avoid humiliation."

"Me? Too broke to deserve her?" asked Ye Fan as his expression turned cold.

Fan Zhong-Xian smiled and replied as he towered overhead, "Are you still unwilling to admit defeat? Fine. Since you insist and Mu-Cheng is right here, why don't we compete to see who is more deserving of her? Do you dare to do it?"

Fan Zhong-Xian asked him in disdain and looked at Ye Fan as though he were a mere ant.

Fan Zhong-Xian came from a wealthy family. Even if his father wasn't a billionaire, they had tens of millions worth of assets.

But Ye Fan was just a pauper from the countryside who had the dumb luck to marry into the Qiu family and got to have Qiu Mu-Cheng as his lovely wife.
