A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 112 Dine and Dash

Yunjing Hotel.

The eldest Qiu brother, Qiu Guang, glanced at his watch and made a suggestion to Chu Wen-Fei.

"Wen-Fei, it is getting late. I have to go to work tomorrow. Shall we call it a night?"

Chu Wen-Fei's face was looking flushed, perhaps due to the amount of alcohol he had just consumed.

After Qiu Guang had spoken, he nodded his head and said, "Okay. We will do as you say. Let's call it a

night then."

"Everybody, please excuse me if I have been remiss in my hospitality."

"I would like to give my thanks to the Qiu family, my uncles and aunties. Thank you for raising Ying-

Ying to be such a good wife."

Some people tended to loosen their tongues after imbibing alcohol.

Clearly, Chu Wen-Fei was one of those people. During his drunken speech, he went on to thank his

uncles and aunties in the Qiu family.

Qiu Mu-Ying chuckled embarrassedly. "Uncle Guang, please excuse him. Our Wen-Fei tends to get

talkative whenever he has too much to drink."

"It's okay. We are not bothered by it. This just means Wen-Fei is a frank person.”

"Ying-Ying, you have found yourself a good husband. Stick with him, you hear? In future, our family

might need to depend on the both of you.”

"Okay, okay. Let us go now."

And then, Qiu Guang called out to the rest of the Qius to leave.

Just then, however, Jiang Hong and the others were looking at the tables that were still laden with

unfinished food. Most of the dishes had barely been touched. They thought it was a shame to waste so

much food, and wanted to get the waiting staff to wrap the food up for them to take home.

But Chu Wen-Fei waved his hand boldly and said, "Auntie Jiang Hong, there is no need to do that. It is

all loose change to me. If it is gone, then it is gone. I have enough money to spare."

"If you want to eat the food here again, just let me know. I can bring you here anytime."

"Damn!"

"Wen-Fei is so generous!"

"Hahaha~"

Jiang Hong was touched by his words and she replied, "I am happy as long as you are thinking of me."

Chu Wen-Fei's boastful words had attracted everyone's attention. As the Qius stole sidelong glances at

him, they grew thoughtful and envious.

The Chus sure are rich. How did Ying-Ying get so lucky to marry such a rich man?

Since Chu Wen-Fei had spoken, Jiang Hong and the others gave up the idea of taking the food home.

But they did take the unfinished Maotai and red wines with them. Jiang Hong and the other Qius each

removed one or two bottles from the table. They were planning to enjoy the rest of the wines at home.

After all, these were good wines. Even the cheapest bottle cost at least several thousand.

And so, with their bellies full, the Qius carried the wines with them as they walked happily toward the

exit. Just then, they looked like a group of bandits who had just carried out a robbery.

When they passed the cashier, Chu Wen-Fei did not even spare it a glance. He snaked his arm around

his wife and continued to swagger toward the exit.

And as he was walking, he turned to brag to Wang Qiao-Yu. "Mom, what do you think of your son-in-

law? Who's better? Jiang Yang or me?"

Jiang Yang was the son-in-law of the youngest Qiu brother, and the son of a high-ranking government

executive.

"Hahaha-"

"Excellent-"

"How can Jiang Yang compare to you? He is just lucky to have a good father."

"What about Lei's son-in-law, Ye Fan?” Chu Wen-Fei continued to prod.

"Well, the gap between you two is even wider. That Ye Fan is just a piece of trash. Compared to you,

he is nothing," Wang Qiao-Yu said smugly. Chu Wen-Fei's performance tonight had made her look

really good in front of her relatives.

And one after another, the other Qius went along with her.

"That's right. That Ye Fan is just a poor bumpkin. Wen-Fei, you are on a completely different level from

him.”

"He will probably be unable to pay for his meal later on, and get himself detained by

the hotel!"

"When that happens, he and his wife will definitely try to borrow money from us. Remember to turn off

your phones or pretend not to see their messages. Since they like to show off so much, then we should

let them do so." Jiang Hong laughed heartily as she made her suggestion.

"Excellent! That's a great idea!" Everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, Jiang Hong saw Chu Wen-Fei walk past the front desk, without showing the slightest

intention to pay for their meals.

"Oh yeah, Wen-Fei, aren't you going to settle the bill?" she asked curiously.

When Qiu Mu-Ying heard this, she lifted her head and said haughtily, "Auntie Jiang Hong. You do not

know this, but even the boss of this hotel, Shen Jiu-Yi, has to respectfully address my husband as Mr.

Chu. And since my husband is doing the hotel a favor by dining here, they will comp all his meals. My

husband should be charging them a fee whenever he eats here, but he is not doing that. So why

should we pay the hotel anything?"

Chu Wen-Fei lit up a cigarette and puffed on it, in an attempt to look cool. And then, with a haughty

smile on his face, he spoke up, "Yes, that's right, auntie Jiang Hong. All my meals here are comped.

This is a direct order from Mr. Shen. Nobody in this hotel will dare to ask me to pay for my meals!"

The Qius were shocked when they heard this. They thought that they had better suck up to Qiu Mu-

Ying and her family in future. If a personage as great as Shen Jiu-Yi had personally ordered to comp a

person's meals at his hotel, then that person must be very powerful indeed.

However, just as everybody was in the midst of flattering Chu Wen-Fei, the front desk manager walked

up to them and said courteously, "Good evening, everyone. And Mr. Chu. Are you satisfied with your

meal?" "Yes. Yes, we are." Wow, even the manager is here to see him off personally. Wen-Fei sure has

a lot of clout.

Because the manager had come personally to greet them, the Qius felt an even greater sense of

respect toward Chu Wen-Fei.

"Mm, Mr. Wang, you are here." Chu Wen-Fei put on a lot of airs and spoke in the tone of a pompous

old man. "I am satisfied with the banquet. But I am unsatisfied with the security guards at the VIP

passage. They failed to recognize me for who I am, and denied me entry. I think they should be

replaced with guards who are more observant and less blind.”

Mr. Wang nodded his head and smiled perfunctorily. But inwardly, he was rendered speechless.

In the first place, not just anybody was allowed to use the VIP passage. The manager guessed that

Chu Wen-Fei had probably assumed himself to be some kind of VIP. But, if it were not for Ye Fan's

sake, Mr. Wang would already have retaliated against Chu Wen-Fei's haughtiness with a tight slap to

the face.

However, despite his dislike for Chu Wen-Fei, Mr. Wang responded politely. "Thank you for your

suggestion, Mr. Chu. We will take it into consideration."

"If there is no other problem, please come over here to settle your bill.”

"What...what?”

Chu Wen-Fei's eye started twitching, and his expression turned sombre.

Jiang Hong and the other Qius were all taken aback.

What is going on?

Didn't Wen-Fei say all his meals would be comped?

Considering that Chu Wen-Fei had just bragged about his free meals at the hotel, the manager's

request felt like a slap to the face.

"Mr. Wang, what did you just say? I am going to give you the chance to reorganize your words.” Chu

Wen-Fei was very unhappy.

Mr. Wang looked dumbstruck. He did not know what he had said wrong. "I am just saying you should

settle your bill? Don't you have to pay for your meals when you eat out?"

"How dare you! You are just a lousy manager! How dare you tell my husband to pay for his meal? Not

even your boss would be so bold."

"I think you have no idea who my husband is? Let me tell you! He is Chu Wen-Fei! Even Shen Jiu-Yi

has to respectfully address him as Mr. Chu!" Qiu Mu-Ying scolded angrily.

Mr. Wang was immediately taken aback. Qiu Mu-Ying thought that the man was frightened by her

revelation, so she crossed her arms and snorted. "Now, do you realize just how much trouble you are

in? You lowly wretch. Quick, apologize to my husband right now!"

"Go screw yourself!" Mr. Wang blew his top and slapped Qiu Mu-Ying right in her face.

"Your husband? Screw your husband! He is nothing!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"You people are the first ones who dare to cause trouble at Yunjing Hotel."

"We live in a lawful society, you know? How dare you try to pull a dine and dash here?"

"I am a very busy person. I do not want to waste my time talking to you. So you either settle your bill

right now, or I will call the police."

"What do you want to do?"

"You are just a bunch of jumped-up clowns! You think there is nothing I can do to you?"

As his angry voice reverberated through the lobby, Mr. Wang waved his hand to summon help. And

right away, a dozen or so security guards rushed into the lobby and blocked the exit.
