The Man In Rage novel Chapter 85

Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng arrived downstairs to find the Han family waiting forthem.

" Han He"

Just then, a capable-looking man in a suit was standing in front of the car. When she saw him, Qiu Mu-Cheng broke out in a smile and greeted the suited man politely.

The man looked like he was just in his twenties, but he exuded a mature and sedate presence.

Yes, this man was Han He, the son of Han Hai and the mayor of a township.

He nodded in reply. "Mm, Mu-Cheng, you still look as beautiful as ever."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's beauty was renowned among her relatives. Both the Qius and the Hans recognized her as the number one beauty among their womenfolk.

In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been overjoyed whenever she received such a compliment. But she was a married woman now, so such compliments no longer stirred her heart.

"Thank you, Han He. But what is the use of having good looks? I can't depend on my looks to earn a living." Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

When Han Hai heard this, he turned to glare at his niece and snorted coldly. "Who told you that having good looks cannot help you earn a living? You went and married a worthless man, so this is your own fault for being foolish and not wanting to make the effort. Why do you think, out of all the members of our family, only your branch is in such a pathetic state?”

Qiu Mu-Cheng bowed her head. She did not know how to refute her uncle.

At this moment, Ye Fan came up to them while carrying some things. And just like his wife had done, he also greeted Han He.

"Mm? Dad, who is he? A poor distant relative?" Han He glanced at Ye Fan and

frowned.

Han Hai's mood turned foul and he said coldly, "Who else can it be? He is your cousin's husband. That live-in son-in-law."

Han He had never met Ye Fan before, so he did not know the latter. But he had heard about his cousin marrying a worthless man.

Han He did not continue the conversation with his father. He turned to look at Qiu Mu-Cheng and said indifferently, "If you don't want him to make a fool of himself, then you had better not bring him to the banquet. Let him stay at home and wait."

And Han Hai chimed in supportively. "Mu-Cheng, listen to your cousin. Let this live-in son-in-law stay at home. It doesn't really matter if he goes or not. He will only end up embarrassing you. You come with us by yourself. Yu-Hao will be there as well. You can sit next to him."

"Listen to me. I am doing this for your own good!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng listened to what her relatives had to say and started to hesitate.

Of course, she was not afraid that Ye Fan might embarrass her. He had never attended a single birthday banquet before, and that had not saved her family from humiliation at any of those past events.

Qiu Mu-Cheng mainly did not want her husband to suffer the same humiliation as she had.

She herself had no other choice but to attend. Madam Han was her maternal grandmother and they were bound together by blood. But Ye Fan had no such ties with the Hans, so he was not obligated to attend the birthday banquet.

But Ye Fan continued to smile and said indifferently, "Mu-Cheng, since I am already here, I should attend the banquet. After all, I am your husband."

When Han Fei-Fei heard this, she snorted and said, "Go if you wish. I guess some people don't mind making fools of

themselves in public."

Han Hai blew his top and snorted coldly. "I see we are just casting pearls before a swine! Go ahead if you want to make a fool of yourself!"

Han Hai truly detested his niece's husband.

Since Ye Fan was not getting along with her relatives, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt embarrassed about sharing the same vehicle with Han Hai's family.

"Uncle. Han He. You go ahead first. I will talk to him and take a cab to the banquet afterward."

"Okay, Mu-Cheng. Listen to me. Don't bring him along." Han Hai reminded his niece. And then, he drove off with his family.

Afterward, Qiu Mu-Cheng did not try to persuade Ye Fan to stay and the couple went off together in a cab.

When he saw that his wife had purposely declined to leave with Han Hai, Ye Fan laughed lightly and asked: "What? Are you afraid I will get into a fight with your uncle?"

And Qiu Mu-Cheng replied in a huff, "What do you think? How did you offend my uncle? He has a very bad opinion of you."

Ye Fan placed his hands behind his head, leaned back against the car seat and said indifferently, "I didn't really offend him. He told me to leave you and I said no. Emphatically."

Qiu Mu-Cheng: "Wow, you are really thick-skinned."

Ye Fan: "Thanks for the compliment."
