A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1549

"A father?" Ye Fan frowned. "What nonsense are you blabbering about?"

Ye Jian smiled. "Fine. Nonsense it is. I'm so impressed that you kept a mistress while you have a beautiful wife at home. Now your mistress has even sent your lovechild over." The more Ye Jian spoke, the more ridiculous it sounded. Ye Fan almost punched him.

Ye Jian hurriedly ran off in his car to go on a date.

After Ye Jian's corruption within the company was exposed, Ye Fan removed him from power. So he spent his time being a rich playboy, enjoying life and meeting girls.

Since he didn't have a job, he decided to just have fun.

"The wealth and fame a man brings to his family clan last no longer than five generations. If all the Ye family's progeny end up like him, they will burn through this legacy in less than two generations." Ye Fan looked at Ye Jian as he left and shook his head disappointedly.

This was his mother's family after all, so if possible, Ye Fan wanted to do his best to make the Ye family flourish.

Sadly, they didn't have any good progeny who could really bring the family up.

Even if Ye Fan wanted to help, his efforts would be futile.

"Mr Chu, do you really have a mistress? And a kid?" asked Li Er softly.

Li Er was a real busybody when it came to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan glared at him. "Don't make me kick you. If he said I'm a grandpa, would you believe him?"

"Great! I just knew that a good man like you wouldn't have betrayed Miss Qiu," chuckled Li Er.

A baby's crying could suddenly be heard

from the room as they spoke.

Ye Fan's eyes twitched, "l-is there really a kid?"

Li Er turned and looked at Ye Fan perplexedly.

He wondered if Ye Fan had really kept a mistress here.

"Mum, what's going on? Whose child is this?" asked Ye Fan quizzically. He couldn't be bothered with guessing, so he walked in to ask his mother, who had an infant in her arms.

Other than Ye Xi-Mei, Old Master Ye and Ye Fan's youngest aunt were present.

"You little rascal, how dare you ask such a question? Don't you know best what you have done? I'd like to see how you are going to explain things to Mu-Cheng!" Ye Xi-Mei walked over to hit her son the moment she saw him.

"Oh, come on, Sis. Stop being dramatic. Didn't you keep saying you wanted a

grandson? Aren't you happy that you have one now?" teased Ye Fan's youngest aunt, Ye Xi-Lan.

Ye Xi-Lan turned to speak to Ye Fan, "Ignore her. She might have scolded you, but you didn't see how happy she was taking care of the baby."

Old Master Ye chuckled. "No matter what, the Ye family finally has another child. Our family is going strong."

Everyone in the room laughed.

This new life had brought a lot of joy to the family, but Ye Fan was at a loss and had completely no idea what was going on.

"Mum, what happened? Whose baby is it? Why are all of you saying that this baby is mine?" asked Ye Fan.

He had become a father overnight without even knowing it himself. Nobody would have been able to accept this.

"Huh? Do you really know nothing about this?" Ye Xi-Mei looked at Ye Fan

perplexedly.

Ye Fan nodded before he asked anxiously, "Mum, get to the point. Where is this baby from?"

A few days ago, a young woman had suddenly turned up at the residence and handed the kid to Ye Xi-Mei and left.

Initially, everyone thought it was Ye Jian's kid, but Ye Jian insisted that the child wasn't his.

Also, if Ye Jian had a child, the woman would have handed the kid to Ye Jian's mother and not Ye Xi-Mei, so everyone was certain it was Ye Fan's.

"Fan, tell us who the woman is. You are a man, so you can't shirk responsibility. Now that there is a problem, you have to solve it. Send the girl over, and we will take care of her for you. She is the mother of your child after all. Even if you don't marry her, you have to offer her a stable life, right?" said Old Master Ye earnestly.

Ye Xi-Mei sighed as well, "That's right.

Send her over. Although I feel bad about Mu-Cheng, it can't be helped. You can't just leave the mother in the lurch."

Everyone in the family kept trying to persuade Ye Fan.

Ye Fan almost broke down in tears. "Mum, Grandpa, what are you saying? I swear that the kid isn't mine. I know best whether I slept with another woman," he spoke decisively with certainty.

He never dreamed that something as dramatic as this would happen to him.

"What?"

"Does this kid really have nothing to do with you?"

"That's strange. Why would the woman hand me the child if it's not yours?"

Ye Fan didn't look like he was lying, so everyone in the family was at a loss. "Mum, tell me about what happened that day. What did that woman look like?" asked Ye Fan. He felt something was wrong.

"One night, a woman suddenly appeared outside my room. She didn't even make a sound, so she gave me quite a scare. She was in a purple dress and wore a veil over her face. Just by looking at her eyes, I could tell she was a pretty girl. She handed me the kid without saying a word and left," recounted Ye Xi-Mei.

"That's it?" Ye Fan frowned before he asked, "Mum, think carefully. Was there anything unusual about her?"

"Anything unusual?" Ye Xi-Mei contemplated carefully. "Her aura, I guess. She seemed rather otherworldly. Also, her breathing seemed unstable, and she looked very weak, as if she had been injured." Ye Fan went into deep thought as Ye Xi-Mei spoke.

The anomaly in Jingzhou occurred around the same time as the child's appearance.

According to his mother's description, the mysterious woman who turned up at their estate was probably a martial artist.

No ordinary woman would have been able to enter the heavily guarded estate.

BOOM!

A loud rumble suddenly came from afar while Ye Fan was in deep thought.

Ye Fan turned to look.

"It has been going on for a couple of days. It sounds like thunder, but if I didn't know better, I would have thought that the gods were fighting."

Old Master Ye and the others had clearly noticed the noise as well.

Ye Fan said nothing as he looked into the distance gravely.

"Mum, Grandpa, don't go out for now. Just stay put in the estate." "What about you?" asked Ye Xi-Mei worriedly.

"I'm going out to check it out. Don't wait for me to eat," said Ye Fan before he hurried out.

"Fan! Where are you going?" shouted Ye Xi-Mei as she chased after him.

However, Ye Fan was long gone.

About 40 kilometers away from Jingzhou city, several figures had gathered in a clearing. They moved as quickly as lightning. "Qing-Tian, how did it go?"

"Did you find him?"
