A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1248 I'll Agree to All of It

"Er..." The young lady hesitated after she heard what Ye Fan said. She too, felt that Ye Fan had asked for too much for her to decide on.

"Looks like you can't make the call on this matter after all. In that case, I can't do anything then," said Ye Fan as he shook his head and smiled before getting up and turning to leave.

"Fine! I'll agree to it!" The young lady panicked when she saw that Ye Fan was turning to leave and cast all her worries aside.

To her, things like money and assets were just material wealth. What was half her family's assets worth compared to Grandpa Nuo's life?

The smile on Ye Fan's handsome face widened when he heard this.

He looked at the young lady and continued teasing her, "So...if I go to your family in the future and your father and brother refuses to give it to me, what should I do?"

"That won't happen. My brother and father dote on me the most! If I tell them to give it to you, they won't refuse," said the young lady confidently.

Ye Fan continued to shake his head. "We just happened to meet in this restaurant today, so I can't possibly take your word for it so easily. Tell you what, why don't you sign a note for me? State that if your father and brother refuse to give me half of your family's assets, then you'd have to become my mistress instead. How's that?" said Ye Fan with a faint smile as he spoke in a teasing voice.

Ye Fan was really just kidding with this girl.

He could tell that she was a kindhearted girl, and just her earlier gesture of treating him to food was enough to make Ye Fan want to help her already.

He was saying all this just to pass time since he had nothing else to do.

"I..." Her face blushed when she heard that Ye Fan wanted her to become his mistress. She looked down and wrung her little hands as she deliberated on her options.

"Tsk, tsk, this poor old man. In order to save his Young Mistress, he was even willing to sacrifice his life. But his Young Mistress isn't willing to make this small sacrifice in return for his life. How sad! How tragic! His sacrifice wasn't worth it!"

There was no way a young and sheltered girl could possibly outdo Ye Fan's wit.

As expected, once Ye Fan said these provoking words, the young lady steeled herself and grit her teeth. "Alright then, I'll agree to all of it. If my father and brother refuse to honor the promise I've made to you today, I shall become your wife."

She got pen and paper from the restaurant staff, wrote all of this down and signed her name on it before handing it to Ye Fan.

"Angie Jones? You're adorable and your name sounds nice too," said Ye Fan with a pleased smile as he looked at the note in his hand.

"So can you help me to save Grandpa Nuo now?" pleaded Angie again.

"Of course." Ye Fan walked over to press on parts of the old man's wounds to stop the bleeding, then used a special technique to set his broken bones correctly. Finally, he used Invoke the Celestial Cloud to gather energy and sent it into the old man's body.

After Ye Fan injected energy into the old man, his skin regained a healthier color, like a dried up tree welcoming spring.

His shut eyes slowly opened again.

"He's awake! Grandpa Nuo has woken up!!" Angie was so excited that she ran over and laughed through her tears as she flung her arms around the old man's neck.

"Don't be too happy yet. I've stabilized his condition for the time being, but once he uses up all the energy I've given him, his life will be in danger again. The most important thing to do right now is to send him to hospital for treatment. That way, he'd be able to keep his life," Ye Fan's words rained down on the girl like a tub of cold water.

Her relieved expression instantly tensed up again.

"Could you help me to send Grandpa Nuo to the hospital? I don't know how to send him there all by myself," said Angie as she pleaded with Ye Fan again with tears flowing down her cheeks.

She had lived under the shelter and protection of her family all her life and never had to lift a finger to do anything.

Asking her to send an old man to the hospital all by herself in a city she had never been to before was definitely a job too hard for her to undertake.

A rich young lady like her really had no experience in doing anything like this.

"Fine, I'll be a good guy today then." Ye Fan nodded and took both Angie and the old man to the nearest hospital.

The doctors at the hospital were horrified by the old man's injuries. They couldn't believe he had actually survived such severe injuries.

But of course, the mundane world could never possibly understand the world of martial arts.

"Young lady, why are you still following me around? Shouldn't you stay by the old man's side in the hospital?" Ye Fan walked out after settling the two of them in at the hospital, only to find that the girl had followed him out.

Angie was a little embarrassed that Ye Fan had noticed her, but she stubbornly replied, "I know we're not related in any way and I don't have any reason to follow you. But I can help you. I know all of you are here for the spirit energy fruit. But the rainforest is huge and it's hard to find the trees without anybody to lead you there. But I know where they are and I can lead you there. I just need you to give me one or two of them when you get the fruits. Is that ok with you?"

Ye Fan was surprised that this young lady knew so much. She even knew the existence of spirit energy fruits.

"But young lady, I don't think you practice martial arts, right? Why do you want this fruit for?" asked Ye Fan curiously.

It was indeed strange that a completely inexperienced young girl from a rich and powerful family would come to such a dangerous place to fight for spirit energy fruits when she barely had any survival skills herself.

But when Ye Fan asked this, Angie's little face puffed up as she pouted.

"Humph! It's because I'm going to prove to my father and brother that I'm also very formidable! I can do everything that they can, and I'll do them better than they can! I'm all grown up but they still treat me like a child! They refuse to let me be part of anything and keep saying that I'd only get in the way! I'm going to prove myself to them this time!" huffed Angie angrily as she waved her tiny little fists about.

Ye Fan figured it out immediately. She was just a rebellious teenager trying to prove her worth to her own family.

In normal circumstances, Ye Fan would have just laughed and ignored her. But now, Ye Fan was interested in what she had to offer.

She was right after all. The Amazon rainforest was huge, and Ye Fan didn't know much about the spirit energy fruits too. If this little girl could lead the way, it would save him a lot of trouble. Rating the Translation Will Gain Two Pearls.
