"I can't believe I used to think that even though you're a country bumpkin without any money or influence, you were at least honest and loyal to Mu-Cheng. You won't go out to fool around or look for other women. But now you're actually trying to seduce your wife's BFF! Mu-Cheng is out making money for the family every day and suffered so much because of you. Now even her grandfather is estranged from her because of you. When she was going to divorce you, she came running to me and cried all night. But here you are, being unfaithful to her. Do you have a conscience, you scoundrel?"
The moment she saw Ye Fan, Su Qian became furious and scolded him nonstop.
"Are you done? If you are, then it's my turn,” said Ye Fan expressionlessly. He was calm and didn't seem to have a shred of guilt as he spoke composedly to Su Qian.
"How can you have the gall to say anything after doing something shameless? Fine, if you have something to say, say it! Let's see what you have to say!" Su Qian was certain that Ye Fan wanted to seduce her. After all, how could there be something as coincidental as this? She could actually bump into Ye Fan while randomly attending an art exhibit.
Of course, he was following her!
"Miss Su Qian, what I wanted to say was that you are imagining things. I'm here because your father invited me.”
"That's nonsense! Why would my father invite a country bumpkin like you? Just because you ate with my Dad once doesn't mean you can use him as an excuse. I'm warning you, there's no way you can deceive me," shouted Su Qian. She picked up the phone to call Su Yuan-Shan and put it on speakerphone.
"Su Qian, why are you yelling? Can you please behave a little more ladylike in public?! Did you just threaten someone? Who are you threatening? Fan is my guest, so if you dare to disrespect him, you're going to get it from me later!"
Su Yuan-Shan's angry voice came from the phone.
Su Yuan-Shan wanted to create an opportunity for them to be together and get to know each other. But he had underestimated his daughter's fiery temper after all.
"Dad, why did you invite him? If I knew he was coming, I wouldn't have come."
Su Yuan-Shan's words were like a slap on Su Qian's face. Her arrogance swiftly dissipated as she put on a long face and griped about her father.
It didn't cross her mind that her father was really the one who invited Ye Fan.
"So what if I invited him? Do you still look down on him? Do you have the right to look down on Ye Fan? I'm warning you, you better not throw a tantrum now. If you want me to pay your credit card bill this month, then you have to visit the exhibition with him. Otherwise, you can wait for credit bankruptcy!" yelled Su Yuan-Shan.
"Dad!!!” Su Qian felt hurt. Even though she wanted to say more, Su Yuan-Shan hung up on her.
Su Qian had no choice but to do as her father said.
After all, Su Qian wasn't financially independent yet and her family took care of all her expenses. She had no choice but to obey Su Yuan-Shan, or else she might end up sleeping out in the streets tomorrow.
"Humph! I don't know why my father is so obsessed with you. Why are you standing around? Come on, go in. Didn't you want me to look at the art exhibition with you? Now you've gotten your way!”
Even though Su Qian was reluctant to go, she had no choice. So she ended up just speaking rudely to Ye Fan and resigned herself to her fate.
"There's no need. I'm busy, so I won't be hanging out with you," replied Ye Fan coldly before turning to leave. Su Qian almost died from anger.
She didn't expect a country bumpkin to get annoyed by a rich young heiress like her.
"You asshole! Stop right there! What do you mean? Make yourself clear!"
Su Qian ran chasing after Ye Fan to grab him and refused to let go.
Lu Wen-Jing happened to pass by and caught sight of them getting physical.
"Ye Fan! So you refuse to work because you're keeping other women company? You are a real scoundrel! You are a scoundrel through and through! Mu-Cheng works soooooo hard for the family! How are you going to answer to her? You're not good enough for Mu-Cheng!"
Lu Wen-Jing's eyes went red almost immediately and tears came flowing down her eyes.
