A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Yunzhou city.

At Yunjing Hotel, new decorations had already been put up.

And extending from the hotel lobby, was a brand new red carpet. It went on for about a hundred meters till the end nearly touched the main road.

On each side of the red carpet was a row of female greeters, attired in red cheongsams and wearing exquisite makeup. Each of them had both hands clasped in front of them, just above their waists. The ladies comported themselves with dignity, and the smiles they displayed were a feast for the eyes.

And brightly colored banners had been put up on the trees lining both sides of the road. Each banner had the following message written on it: A Grand Welcome to Mr. and Madam Chu.

"Impressive!"

It is awe-inspiring."

"A few-hundred meter long red carpet and several dozen beauties there to welcome us. Wen-Fei, well done."

"1 have been around, you know. But I have never experienced such treatment before!"

"Wen-Fei, these people really look up to you. Even Mr. Shen has to go to such lengths to welcome you."

"Our family is basking in your reflected glory. To think that I am able to exhibit such splendor in my lifetime~"

At that moment, the Qius had not yet reached the banquet venue, but they could already see the luxurious display at the hotel. Immediately, the Qius got themselves all worked up. As they looked into the distance, they exclaimed in admiration, one after another.

"Of course. Just think about it. What kind of person our Wen-Fei is?"

"Our Wen-Fei is the scion of a rich and influential family. Such pampering is not a big deal to our Wen-Fei." When everybody started praising Chu Wen-Fei, Wang Qiao-Yu felt that having him as her son-in-law made her look good by association. So she started cooing our Wen-Fei our Wen-Fei lovingly.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Ying was feeling smug and floating on cloud nine as she thought about how she was going to be a star at the banquet later, alongside her husband.

When Chu Wen-Fei looked at the display before him, he felt pleasantly surprised.

And he also could not help thinking what the hell, because he had not expected his father to be so powerful. To think that even Shen Jiu-Yi would try to suck up to his father, by arranging such a grand welcome for him.

He must have an ulterior motive. It looks as if he arranged this grand welcome to suck up to me, but he is actually trying to get close to my father.

But I am going to inherit my father's estate anyway. So sucking up to me is the same as sucking up to my father.

Chu Wen-Fei was not stupid. He knew very well that, currently, he was not capable enough to command respect from the Shens. So his first thought had been that Shen Jiu-Yi was putting on a show for his father's benefit. And that explained the VIP treatment on display.

This Shen Jiu-Yi. He has put a lot of thought into this.

Just then, Chu Wen-Fei was feeling rather smug. He thought that, at a later opportunity, he would definitely put in a good word for Shen Jiu-Yi with his father.

But, if Chu Yang knew what his son was thinking at that moment, the former would definitely be scared witless.

A good word?

Considering the enormous wealth of the Shen family, the Chus were the ones who were supposed to do the sucking up. Neither Chu Wen-Fei nor his father had the right to put in a good word on behalf of a Shen.

"Halt!"

"We are expecting a VIP guest at Yunjing Hotel today. The venue has been cleared and we are not entertaining anyone else today."

But, right after Chu Wen-Fei had instructed the driver to move over to Yunjing Hotel, their vehicle was stopped at the entrance by a security guard.

"Damn!"

"Are you blind?"

"Can't you see that your VIP guest is already here? Why are you stopping him, you idiot! Get out of the way!"

Wang Qiao-Yu flew into a rage at once, and started scolding the security guard.

The latter took a glance at Wang Qiao-Yu and, after getting subjected to her torrent of abuse, he decided to return the favor. With a mocking smile on his face, he said, "How dare when you look just like a housewife? You sure have grandiose delusions."

"Get out of here right now!"

"The VIP will be arriving soon. If you block his way, can you bear the consequences?"

The security guard's attitude was cold and he continued to bar the way into the hotel. "Wen-Fei, what's going on. Why can't we go in?"

call yourself a VIP guest

After Chu Wen-Fei's car had been barred from entering, the vehicles tailing behind had to stop as well. Some of the Qius disembarked and moved forward to find out what was going on. Chu Wen-Fei waved his hand dismissively and said, "Uncle Guang, don't worry. I will take care of this."

After speaking to his uncle-in-law, Chu Wen-Fei stepped forward to face the security guard and, assuming the air of a superior person, he spoke to the guard in an indifferent manner: "You are shortsighted and a person of low social status.

So it is only natural that you do not recognize me. But consider this carefully. After he had offended me, even Mr. Shen had to apologize personally to me. You are just a small fry. If you offend me, you will not be able to appease me with just a simple apology."

"So get out of my way right now! And let us through!"

Toward the end, Chu Wen-Fei suddenly raised his voice and the frosty tone shocked the security guard.

Just then, the latter's confidence had been shaken.

Could this person be Mr. Chu?

But that's the wrong car. That's not the car we sent out earlier.

The security guard considered the matter for a while and then looked at Chu Wen-Fei again. This time, he adopted a softer tone and had a smile on his face. "Erm, mister. I do not have the authority to make decisions like this. I have to go consult my

superior."

"Oh, you have to consult your superior. Okay. Go tell him this. The son of Chu Yang, Chu Wen-Fei is here. If he disrespects me, he will not be able to appease my anger." Chu Wen-Fei smiled coldly and his bragging frightened the security guard so much that the latter's face turned as white as sheet.

Without saying another word, the guard ran back to consult his superior.

"Haha-"

"Wen-Fei is capable indeed."

"Look at how scared the security guard was. I bet when he returns, he will go down on his knees and beg Wen-Fei for forgiveness."

The Qius laughed and joked among themselves, as if they were in the middle of watching a skit. They were waiting for the moment when the security guard would return to beg for forgiveness, after finding out Chu Wen-Fei's true identity.

"Haha-"

"That ignorant fool is back."

"Wait for the show to begin?"

Soon, the security guard returned from his consultation with his superior. Wang Qiao-Yu laughed smugly along with the other Qius, and Qiu Mu-Ying had an ambiguous smile playing upon her lips. Every member of the Qiu family at the scene was watching closely, for the performance that was about to begin.

"So? Have you finished consulting your superior?" With a mocking smile on his face, Chu Wen-Fei looked haughtily at the security guard. Meanwhile, one of his arms was snaked around Qiu Mu-Ying's slim waist.

The guard nodded and said, "Mm, I have spoken to my superior."

"In that case, get down on your knees right away and beg for forgiveness!"

I am Mr. Shen's VIP guest, you lowly cur!

How dare you inconvenience me?"

"Who gave you the courage to behave so insolently!"

He screamed at the guard again. Chu Wen-Fei was average sized but he had a huge ego.

"Alright. Because you are Mr. Shen's employee, you don't have to get down on your knees. But you did embarrass me in front of my relatives, so just slap yourself twice and we will call it even."

Chu Wen-Fei's tone softened noticeably, as he tempered his justice with mercy.

"Where it is possible to forgive others, one should do so. Wen-Fei is not only capable, but he is also a virtuous person. He is destined for greatness." Master Qiu nodded his head and praised Chu Wen-Fei. The old man had been observing the interaction between his grandson-in-law and the security guard, and he was satisfied with Chu Wen-Fei's performance.

The other Qius also nodded their heads in agreement, as they waited for the security guard to make his apology.

Just then, the security guard had already raised his hand in the air. And everyone thought that he was about to slap himself in the face.

But, unexpectedly, the slap landed on Chu Wen-Fei's face and sent him flying.

"Shit, you dare hit me?"

Chu Wen-Fei cradled his face as he laid on the ground. He was completely dumbfounded.

"You son of a bitch, I am going to beat the shit out of you!"

"You want me on my knees?"

"You want me to slap myself?"

"Screw you!"

"You are just a brat and a small fellow, but you have a freaking big ego."

"How dare you impersonate Mr. Chu. You are trying to cause trouble at the banquet.

I think you are tired of living!"

The security guard was a hot-blooded man. And Chu Wen-Fei's earlier scoldings had obviously angered him. When his embarrassment had turned into rage, the security guard had gone with the flow of his emotions and slapped Chu Wen-Fei.

The sudden movement shocked the assembled Qius.

Qiu Mu-Ying was scared witless and her mother was so shocked that she remained rooted to the spot.

As for the other Qius, they could not believe their eyes.

"What...What..."

"What the hell is going on?"

Mr. Shen had personally invited them to the banquet, right?

Were they not giving a grand welcome to

Mr. and Mrs. Chu?

So why did they beat up Mr. Chu?
