"Mu-Cheng, don't tell me you're still thinking about that stupid asshole? He's just an idiot who doesn't know what's good for him! We shouldn't have been hopeful about him."
"Do you know what he said to me that day at Mount Yunyang? He said he's Mr Chu. He even said that he's in control of Jiangdong and nobody would dare to offend him. I nearly died laughing.”
"Mr Chu is a hero to Jiangdong! How could he be a cowardly live-in son-in-law? If he said he was one of Mr Chu's bodyguards or something, I might believe him. But he actually dared to claim to be Mr Chu! How is he qualified to say something like that?!" ranted Su Qian angrily inside her house as she tried on several different dresses in front of the dressing table.
Su Qian was angry just thinking about what happened.
She had been kind enough to try to persuade Ye Fan to change his ways, but instead of being grateful, he started bragging about all this nonsense.
Of course Su Qian was furious.
"After New Year's Day, you'd better divorce him. With your looks, the number of rich guys waiting to marry you will form a line longer than a hundred meters. Or maybe I can find you a rich one later at the Feast of the Sea and Sky?” Su Qian became extremely excited when she thought about the upcoming feast.
She was finally going to see the face of the Mr Chu she had admired for so long.
It had been so long since the name 'Mr Chu' started sprouting like a seed inside Su Qian's heart after the battle at Mount Tai.
Initially, she just admired him.
But now, Su Qian practically idolized this legendary figure.
In the past, she left some of these feelings for her Harmonica Prince.
But after she found out that the man playing the harmonica was actually Ye
Fan, Su Qian shifted all her feelings of admiration onto that Mr Chu whom she had only heard about and never seen.
"Ma Ming-Bo has already promised to get me tickets to the Feast of the Sea and Sky. This time, no matter what, I've got to see Mr Chu. I must let Mr Chu know that there's a young lady named Su Qian in this world who has been quietly watching and admiring him from afar."
Su Qian clenched her fists tightly and her eyes were filled with infatuation and excitement.
She looked just like those fangirls chasing after their favorite idols.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't seem to have heard Su Qian at all.
She sat by herself on the sofa as she hugged a cushion and was lost in thought.
She was in poor spirits and even though the sun shone on her, it only cast a shadow.
She looked like an abandoned stuffed toy in the corner and her face was covered with dejection and sadness.
Su Qian didn't know what to say when she saw what Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like.
"Mu-Cheng, cheer up. It's just one Ye Fan, isn't it? What's so good about him? If it doesn't work out then it doesn't, you can always find someone better. Is it worth looking like a zombie for him? Listen to me, go and wash up and get changed so we can go for the banquet. I've told Ma Ming-Bo to get you a ticket too," Su Qian tried to console her.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng remained silent and sat there dejectedly like a woman who had just been dumped.
Su Qian was so annoyed at this. "Qiu Mu-Cheng, can't you pull yourself together? Where's the courage you had at the university debates back then? Where's the boldness you had when you reprimanded the directors in the office? Look at you now! You look like some defeated dog!"
Su Qian felt really upset that her best friend was just letting herself fall apart.
But at the same time, Su Qian was really curious about what was so great about that Ye Fan. How did he make her best friend fall head over heels in love with him?
DOONG DOONG!
Just when Su Qian was reprimanding Qiu Mu-Cheng, someone knocked on the door of the bungalow.
