A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1117 Imminent Storm

Melodious music and firecrackers could still be heard outside Haiyuan Restaurant.

Inside the restaurant itself, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng's wedding was going on smoothly.

Besides the little disruption earlier, nothing else out of the ordinary happened.

Once Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng had finished taking their vows, everyone took their seats and the long awaited banquet was ready to start. "Phew, I'm so glad that everything has gone smoothly so far," Li Er breathed a long sigh of relief since nothing unforeseen had happened. After that meeting with Wu Wei-Tao the night before, Li Er had found it difficult to sleep at night and his emotions were very unsettled.

His heart had felt very tense earlier and kept checking the information that his subordinates reported to him from time to time.

But it seemed like he had been worried for nothing.

"It looks like Mr Chu's wedding will turn out fine." Li Er looked out of the window to see the bright sun in the sky and the beautiful mountains and rivers in the distance. Everything looked perfectly peaceful.

Just then, Ye Fan's phone rang without anybody noticing.

"Mu-Cheng, I'll go out for a while and come back," said Ye Fan after he peeked at his phone.

He walked out of the restaurant. "Han, it's me. What's happened?"

Han was the one calling, and Ye Fan couldn't help but be a little worried about a phone call at this point in time.

"Young Master, be careful. According to my intel, the Xur family's men will reach Yunzhou very soon. I'm pretty sure they're coming for you," came Han's concerned voice over the phone. Ye Fan immediately burst out laughing.

"Are they finally here? I've waited so long forthem already," laughed Ye Fan quietly. He didn't sound the least worried or afraid.

After a brief chat, Han hung up the phone.

He had just called to let Ye Fan know so that he could make preparations in advance.

"Hua! Look! It's a little golden figurine! This must be a Maybach, right? I've only seen such luxury cars online before and I never thought I'd actually catch sight of one myself. Mr Chu is amazing alright. One car only see such a luxurious car on his wedding, don't you think so?" exclaimed a woman in delight not too far from the restaurant.

This heavily made up woman was none other than Zhang Wen-Ya, the same woman who insisted on attending Mr Chu's wedding.

They finally managed to pull some strings to get here.

But after hearing what Zhang Wen-Ya said, Yuan Hua's eye twitched unnoticeably. "Wen-Ya, that car isn't a Maybach, it's a Rolls-Royce."

"Oh whatever, they're all the same. You know what I mean," said Zhang Wen-Ya flippantly before running over to the car to have a look. She even took a selfie with the car and posted it on social media. Yuan Hua didn't know what to say and just laughed bitterly as he shook his head. Some women were just really ignorant like this.

After he finished laughing, Yuan Hua quickly spun around to thank the handsome young man next to him, "Brother Fei, thanks so much for this. If not for you, I'm sure I'd never be able to set foot into such a place, never mind enjoy Mr Chu's wedding banquet with all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong."

Yuan Hua's face was filled with ingratiation and respect, and there was no sign of the arrogance he displayed earlier when he demanded that the traffic police move aside for him.

It couldn't be helped. This young man was the heir to the Shen family, and his father, Shen Jiu-Yi, was one of Li Er's closest and most trusted subordinates.

This young man's family and backing were at a level that Yuan Hua could only look up to, so he had to do his best to curry favor with him.

This 'Brother Fei' was Shen Fei, the young man who liked hanging around Ye Fan.

Shen Fei was also notorious for being a spoilt rich man's son in Yunzhou. The city wasn't large, so it was common for all these scions to know one another.

It wasn't difficult for Shen Fei to use his father's connections to get Yuan Hua into the banquet.

After all, his father had contributed a fair amount of work to the wedding

preparation work.

As the Young Master of the Shen family, this was something that he could get done.

"It's nothing really, so there's no need to thank me. But Yuan Hua, I'm warning you, this is no ordinary banquet. Every single person at this banquet is rich and powerful, and you cannot afford to offend any of them. Once you're in there, behave yourself and don't give me any trouble. You'd better keep a close eye on that ignorant girlfriend of yours, okay?

"Most importantly, do not ever, ever, offend Mr Chu, you hear me?" Shen Fei warned Yuan Hua sternly.

Yuan Hua waved his hands about frantically. "Brother Fei, don't worry. Even if my courage went up by ten times, I wouldn't dare to do anything that even makes Mr Chu frown. Go ahead and attend to whatever you need to, we'll take care of ourselves. Wen-Ya and I will behave ourselves, and we won't give you any trouble."

Yuan Hua even patted his own chest as he promised Shen Fei.

Shen Fei nodded in relief. "Alright then, you two go in first. I'll attend to something else first, see you guys later." After that, Shen Fei ran off.

Yuan Hua and Zhang Wen-Ya started walking briskly towards Haiyuan Restaurant excitedly with great anticipation.

But just after they reached the entrance to the restaurant, the silhouette of a skinny young man caught Zhang Wen-Ya's attention.

"What the hell, it's you?! What's a bloody louse like you doing here?" Zhang Wen-Ya immediately got a shock and the anger in her heart surged.

"Huh? Wen-Ya, you know this man?" asked Yuan Hua curiously.

"Of course!" snapped Zhang Wen-Ya furiously. "Dear, he's the stupid louse who bullied me at the bridal shop! Thanks to him, I was nearly beaten to death and I was even thrown out of the shop! I don't care, you said you were going to take revenge for me, so since he's right here, you've got to do something!" whined Zhang Wen-Ya at Yuan Hua. Just the thought of what happened at the bridal boutique made the rage inside Zhang Wen-Ya boil.

But Yuan Hua replied her worriedly, "Wen-Ya, let's talk about this later. It's Mr Chu's wedding banquet today, so if we make any trouble here, I'm afraid we'll make Mr Chu angry."

"I don't care! You've got to teach him a lesson today! Make him kneel down and apologize to me! Otherwise, you can forget about sleeping with me ever again!" hissed Zhang Wen-Ya angrily. "Alright, alright, Wen-Ya, leave this to me, just stand here and watch." Yuan Hua eventually gave in for the sake of his sex life.

He turned to look at the skinny man and said coldly, "Punk, so you're the fellow who bullied my girlfriend at the bridal shop that day? Given my usual temperament, I would have broken both your legs, incapacitated your arms and make sure you're bedridden for life. But you're lucky today. It's Mr Chu's wedding banquet, so I don't intend to hit you."

"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and apologize to my girlfriend right now. Otherwise, I, Yuan Hua, will teach you how to behave!" Yuan Hua stuffed both hands in his pockets as he sneered at the skinny man in front of him. His arrogant tone of voice was filled with iciness.
