A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 56 The Ruler of This Era

Before he could even cry out, Huang Zhong had lost consciousness from the blow.

This scene frightened everybody in the bar.

The patrons and servers who were looking on from afar were all dumbfounded.

The long-haired beauty was especially overwhelmed by what she had just witnessed, and she could

not help but stare at Ye Fan with wide-opened eyes.

Powerful!

Too powerful!

Watching the fight that had taken place earlier was like watching a scene from a movie.

She had never believed before that such an awesome person could be real, and would one day

become her matchmaking partner.

As the saying goes, a true hero never brags and he who brags is not a true hero.

The long-haired beauty finally understood why the young man in front of her was wearing such low-key

clothes. That was just how a truly elite person would behave. Also, a skillful person like him would

never be in want of money.

She had heard before that a bodyguard working for one of the top tycoons of Great China could earn

ten million per annum. And even if Ye Fan chose not to be a bodyguard, a person like him could work

for the special forces and get really great benefits.

Perhaps, he was already making ten million per annum, as the bodyguard of some tycoon.

No wonder. No wonder he could remain calm when he heard me mention the half-a-million annual

salary condition.

No wonder. No wonder he only smiled when I asked for a luxury car.

So, his skill was his backing.

When she reached that conclusion, the long-haired woman blushed in agitation. Ignoring the bruise on

her face, she got up and chased after Ye Fan.

"Please don't go! If you will take me as your wife, I am willing to retract the conditions I have mentioned

earlier."

"Ai~Please don't go~"

"I want you to be my husband-"

The long-haired woman yelled after Ye Fan, but the server in the bar reminded her that her target was

a married man.

"So what if he is a married man? I can be his mistress. He is very skilled so he probably makes a lot of

money-"

With a snobbish look on her face, the longhaired woman continued to yell after Ye Fan. But the latter

ignored her and quickly vanished into the night. The woman was filled with regret. If only her tongue

had not been so vile. And if only she had treated Ye Fan a little better.

"What?¹

"You are still hanging around the bus stop?"

"Oh my god! What have you been doing? Do you need me to pick you up?" Qiu Mu-Cheng's annoyed

voice came through from the other end of the line. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Ye Fan turned down the offer and told his wife to just send the location to his phone. He would make

his own way there.

And very soon, Ye Fan reached the address. Qiu Mu-Cheng came down to receive him and, right away,

she asked, "Where is my milk?"

Ye Fan glanced at Qiu Mu-Cheng's chest and said, "In your breasts?"

It took Qiu Mu-Cheng a while before she understood the meaning behind her husband's words. And

then, she blushed in anger right away. "Ye Fan, stop being so damn cheeky!"

"Where is the carton of milk I brought for my grandmother?" Qiu Mu-Cheng asked angrily.

And so, Ye Fan had no choice but to smile wryly and explain how he had been robbed on the way to

her place. The robbery, he explained, was also the reason why he had arrived late.

"I don't know what to say to you anymore!"

"How could a grown man like you get robbed?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng screwed up her face in anger and said, "Why did I ever marry you?"

She thought that her husband was such a bungler.

"Perhaps you married me for my good looks," Ye Fan replied in a whisper.

"What did you say?" His wife turned and glared at him.

"Nothing, I said 'I am sorry'." Ye Fan knew it was his fault so he owned up and apologized for his

mistake.

"That's enough. We will buy the milk later.

Let us go meet my uncles and aunts." Qiu Mu-Cheng did not continue to blame Ye Fan, and brought

him upstairs.

In the apartment, their aunt was still making dinner. Just then, Sun Yu-Hao was sitting on the sofa and

chatting with a middle-aged man. They were watching a TV show as they chatted away.

The middle-aged man was one of Qiu Mu-Cheng's uncles, Han Hai.

"Mu-Cheng, where have you been? Quick, come over here and sit with Yu-Hao.”

"Yu-Hao is a very busy man. He had to take leave from work just to pick you up."

The moment he saw his niece, Han Hai started urging her to keep Sun Yu-Hao company.

"Mm, why did you bring him here?" Han Hai frowned when he saw Ye Fan standing behind his niece.

"Hi uncle, how do you do? I have come with Mu-Cheng to visit you and our aunt.” Because Han Hai

was his elder, Ye Fan had to greet him properly.

"Hmph~"

But Han Hai hmphed coldly and ignored Ye Fan. And then he turned to look at his niece.

"Mu-Cheng, why are you still standing there? Come over here and keep Yu-Hao company."

"Okay." Qiu Mu-Cheng did not dare to disobey Han Hai's orders.

She had always been afraid of her uncle, ever since she was a child. And so, Qiu Mu-Cheng rarely

disobeyed Han Hai.

That was the reason why Han Li had asked Qiu Mu-Cheng to visit Jianghai for her grandmother's

birthday.

She wanted Han Hai to persuade her daughter to divorce Ye Fan.

After Qiu Mu-Cheng had taken a seat next to Sun Yu-Hao, Han Hai looked at Ye Fan and said

sombrely, "You come with me.”

Ye Fan glanced at his wife before following Han Hai to another room.

Han Hai did not take a seat. He stood before the balcony and looked outside the window, with both

hands clasped behind his back. And then he asked Ye Fan, "What do you think of Mu-Cheng?"

"She is an excellent woman, and she deserves to have all the best things the world has to offer." Ye

Fan spoke calmly and indifferently, as he stood behind Han Hai.

When Han Hai heard this, he burst out laughing. "You think she deserves all the best things in the

world? Okay, let me ask you. What do you see when you look out of the window?"

Ye Fan looked. Outside the window, Jianghai's magnificent night scene was displayed before him. He

stayed silent for a long while before replying. "I see skyscrapers towering into the sky, the bustle and

wealth of Jianghai, the lights and revelry of the city and the people's obsession with its extravagance."

Han Hai listened to Ye Fan's answer and burst out laughing again. "Yes, Jianghai is the wealthiest city

in the whole of Jiangdong. Every time I look upon the city at night, I cannot help but feel my

insignificance and guilt. At least, I haven't been able to let my wife and daughter stand at the peak of

Jianghai."

Ye Fan listened quietly and did not say a word.

Han Hai continued to ask, "Do you think Mu-Cheng deserves to have all the good things that Jianghai

has to offer?"

"Of course."

"And are you able to give those things to her?" Han Hai turned his head and looked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan frowned. "What are you trying to say, uncle?”

Han Hai laughed lightly and said, "Oh, nothing much, except that I think you are unworthy of Mu-

Cheng. Your marriage was just a farce to begin with. I think it is time we end this farce."

"Then what kind of man do you think is worthy of Mu-Cheng? Someone like Sun Yu-Hao?" Ye Fan

asked.

"Oh, you don't think so?"

"Yu-Hao's father manages Baiyi Group, and his family possesses unimaginable wealth. The tallest

building in Jianghai was built by his family. Also, Yu-Hao is a promising young man. Not only did he

graduate from a renowned school, he is also the president of his company and one of its decision

makers."

"If Mu-Cheng marries him, not only will she have a place in this wealthy city, but she will also become a

member of high society. Together with Yu-Hao, she will stand at the peak of Jianghai and become a

woman envied by everyone."

"These are things that Yu-Hao can easily give her. But you can't. Not even if you spend your whole life

trying.” His heavy words were filled with disdain and mockery for Ye Fan.

When he had finished speaking, Han Hai stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Is that so? But do you know? The things you have just mentioned are insignificant in my eyes. If I wish

to, I can offer Mu-Cheng the entire Jianghai, and not just a piece of it."

"What arrogance!” Han Hai blew his top right away. "You are just a live-in son-in-law. How are you

going to give her anything? By talking about it?"

"You are a complete moron!"

Han Hai hmphed coldly and stormed out of the room.

Only Ye Fan was left behind at the spot. He stood by the window and looked at the glitter and glamor of

the city.

Perhaps in your eyes, Jianghai is a wealthy

city, and becoming a member of upper society is a worthy goal.

But do you know? In my eyes, Jianghai and even Jiangdong are insignificant. My woman deserves to

have the whole world in her hands.

Because I am Chu Tian-Fan, the ruler of this era!
