A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1108 Chu Wen-Fei Again
But Ye Fan remained unaffected by Li Er's pitiful and desperate pleas.
He picked up the pot of freshly brewed tea, poured some tea into a cup, then passed it to Li Er.
"Mr Chu, this is not the time to be drinking tea! Trouble is already nearly at our doors! Don't you feel any pressure at all? If you already have a plan, then tell me about it so that San and I don't feel so jittery!" Li Er was on the verge of a nervous breakdown already.
He didn't think Ye Fan would still be able to drink his tea this calmly at a time like this.
Didn't Ye Fan know that he was going to die if he didn't come up with a plan now?
"Li Er, have some tea and calm down. We can talk again after you're done with drinking this cup," said Ye Fan calmly with a faint smile on his lips.
Li Er didn't have any choice. He took the cup from Ye Fan and downed it in one gulp.
After that, he anxiously asked, "Mr Chu, can you tell me what plan you have now? Don't tell me we're just going to sit here and wait to die?"
Li Er looked hopefully at Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan merely chuckled. "There's no need for any plan. If they want to attend my wedding, so be it. They can choose where they want to go and there's nothing I can do about that. Alright now, I've said everything I should. Go back and rest. You have to wake up early for the wedding tomorrow morning too." Ye Fan seemed reluctant to discuss this matter and waved his hands as he shooed Li Er home. Li Er looked hopelessly at Ye Fan and his heart was beginning to despair. But since his own commander-in-chief wasn't anxious, there was nothing a subordinate like him could do.
Li Er had no choice but to go home sadly.
On his way home, he received a call from Lei San. "Er, how did it go? Has Mr Chu thought of how to handle tomorrow's banquet? Does he have a plan on how to deal with the Lu and Xur families?" asked Lei San anxiously. He had obviously heard a thing or two about the situation in Yunzhou.
Li Er sighed. "What plan do you think he would have? Mr Chu looks more like he's ready to take on whatever is going to come his way and hope for the best. I just hope that the storm will come a little later. Once the wedding banquet tomorrow is over, we could possibly still persuade Mr Chu to leave Yunzhou and lie low for the time being."
Li Er thought that Mr Chu refused to leave Yunzhou because of the wedding that was happening the next day.
Everyone knew how much Ye Fan indulged his wife.
Three years ago, he hadn't been able to give Qiu Mu-Cheng a grand wedding, so if he ran away before this one as well, then he would definitely feel like he had let Qiu Mu-Cheng even more. So once the wedding was over, Li Er was sure that Mr Chu would have no reason to insist on staying in Yunzhou anymore.
But would they be able to finish the wedding without a hitch?
Li Er's expression was grim and his heart was filled with anxious thoughts.
Many people couldn't sleep that night.
Li Er tossed and turned in bed, while Lei San's heart was heavy.
Chen Ao was still under house arrest in Jianghai. His eyes looked out of the window worried as well.
He could see the dark clouds gathering quickly and covering the sky in darkness.
A howling wind began to gust and blew the fallen leaves in all directions.
"It looks like a huge storm is about to hit."
The night went past quietly.
When the sun rose the next morning, the quiet city of Yunzhou started to come alive again.
But anyone familiar with this city would notice that Yunzhou was different from usual.
There were many cars from out of town, and the city itself looked prettier than before.
The main road that went through the heart of the city was covered in flowers.
The trees along both sides of the road were also covered in bright and beautiful decorations.
Even the advertisement boards by the road had changed overnight.
All of them were in a festive red, and the words on it were no longer ads for properties and other businesses. Instead, they were covered with romantic and colorful poems.
We may not have beautiful wings like the phoenix does, but our hearts are linked as one forevermore
The beautiful peach blossoms bloom brilliantly; a young lady is getting married today, what a fortunate couple
"Oh my gosh! So romantic!"
The sun had barely risen.
The streetlamps were still lit because it was still too dark.
But these poetic lines looked even more dreamy under the glow of the reddish lights.
The young men and women who woke up early to go to school were stunned by these signboards.
Their gazes were astonished as they felt the surreal and romantic air around them.
"These festive decorations go on for miles, and there are lights all over the city!"
"Yunzhou only looks like this on the eve of Lunar New Year, right?"
"Exactly. It's not any special day today. Why is Yunzhou suddenly decorated so beautifully?"
Besides being mesmerized by the lights, everyone was really puzzled as well.
"Do you think all this stuff is put up specially for a wedding ceremony?"
"It's the 20th of the fifth month of the lunar calendar today, so the date sounds like 'I love you' in Mandarin. Many couples have chosen to get married today." "Uh huh, one of my distant cousins is getting married today too."
Some others began to speculate.
"My goodness, I think you might be right. The poems on those boards are all poems about romantic love. So I think all this is put up for someone's grand wedding." "But who could it be? The decorations are very extensive, so it must be someone from a really rich family."
"Could it be Mr Chu?"
Someone thought of Mr Chu, because if there was anyone in Jiangdong who could possibly have the money and power to do this, it would be Mr Chu.
"Oh please, Mr Chu got married a long time ago, and he and his wife are still very loving. How can a married couple go through a wedding twice?" someone else immediately rejected the suggestion. "But if it's not Mr Chu, then who? Which other rich man's son in Yunzhou is holding a wedding today?"
Many people on the street was discussing this matter.
These people were ordinary city folk and not many of them even knew about Mr Chu. Even fewer knew that Mr Chu was the one holding a wedding ceremony to make up for the previous one. Only the most powerful in Jiangdong knew about this. Ordinary folk wouldn't know anything about such things.
But even though they didn't know anything about someone as powerful as Mr Chu, they knew a thing or two about the less powerful families. Someone piped up and said that the son of Chu Yang, property magnate of Yunzhou and owner of Yangtian Real Estate, was getting married today.
"Chu Yang's son? Is his name Chu Wen-Fei?"
"Yes! Yes! His name is Chu Wen-Fei, and he's getting married today."
"The Chu family is quite rich in Yunzhou too, and Chu Wen-Fei is Chu Yang's only son. I suppose they're the ones who put up all this then."
"Tsk, these property magnates are really rich! All of this must have cost more than
$10 million, right?!"
