A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1707

Having made up their mind, Tang Hao and Sword Saint wasted no time having their subordinates locate Ye Fan's family members. They also prepared the condolence money and items required forthe funeral service.

After that, several vehicles belonging to the War God Castle departed for Jingzhou with its ambassador inside.

Sword Saint and Tang Hao were planning on heading over too at first, but changed their minds after giving it some thought. Instead, they had their subordinates help present a bouquet of flowers at the funeral on their behalf.

Given their identities as representatives of the country's martial arts forces, they figured it would attract a lot of attention if they were to leave the city all of a sudden.

Naturally, that wasn't something either of them would want, so sending an ambassador over was their only option.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival just around the corner, the streets of Jingzhou had been decorated with

beautiful lanterns to help bring out the festive atmosphere.

On top of that, seasonal promotions were also being held in shopping malls to further enhance the said atmosphere and boost sales at the same time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival symbolized family reunions, and was one of the most important traditional festivals in China.

Although it wasn't yet the day of the festival, Qiu Mucheng had traveled all the way from Yunzhou to visit Ye Fan's mother in Jingzhou.

Of course, it was also to await Ye Fan's return as she knew how much he cared about his mother.

Ye Fan will surely come home to visit his mother on the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how busy he is!

To Qiu Mucheng's surprise, she found Ye Ximei looking after a child when she arrived.

Noticing the pale look on her face, Ye Ximei knew she must've gotten the wrong idea and quickly explained the situation to her.

After a lengthy explanation that felt like it took forever, Qiu Mucheng finally understood what was going on with that child.

"There's only a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Has that rascal Ye Fan not given you a call yet? Is he even coming home or not?" Ye Xilan asked while making dumplings with Qiu Mucheng in the kitchen.

Ye Ximei, on the other hand, was busy changing the child's diapers in the living room.

The Ye family had been searching for the child's parents the whole time, but they weren't able to find anything.

As such, Ye Ximei volunteered to look after the child in the meantime.

Although the child's origins remained a mystery, Ye Ximei found herself taking a liking to him and decided to raise him as her own.

Noticing how much her older sister doted on the child, Ye Xilan couldn't help but ask Qiu Mucheng about Ye Fan.

Qiu Mucheng shook her head and replied with a smile, "Nope! His phone has been switched off the whole time. I bet he lost it again or something. He's always losing his stuff, though. In fact, he has lost so many phones that I've lost count! We haven't been in touch for quite a few days now."

Honestly, I've gotten used to losing contact with Ye Fan at this point. Although he never tells me about it, I just know he's busy with something incredibly important. He probably keeps it a secret from me for my safety and to not make me worry. That idiot is always keeping everything to himself so that we can live peaceful lives.

Ye Xilan grew anxious the moment she heard that. "What? You two haven't been in contact for a long time again? This won't do! You need to stay in touch to keep the relationship alive, you know? By the way, Mucheng, why aren't you two having kids yet? You've been married for so many years now. Which one of you is having performance issues? Do tell me if you're having difficulty conceiving, okay? I know a few traditional doctors that may be able to help you out. I could even arrange a consultation in a few days if you'd like."

Qiu Mucheng blushed slightly and shook her head. "We're both fine, Aunt Xilan. We've just been so busy with work that we didn't have the time to think about this."

"It's very important to have kids and keep the family lineage going. Besides, men tend to be a lot more responsible when they have children of their own. He won't be staying out and about so often, then! Besides, just look at your mother-in-law! She's going crazy from wanting a grandson! She might very well take that orphan child as her grandson if you keep stalling on having kids. When that happens, you'll have one extra person to share the Ye family's property with! It's killing me watching this from the side, you know?" Ye Xilan continued urging Qiu Mucheng.

Qiu Mucheng simply kept quiet and lowered her head in response.

"Be honest with me, Mucheng. What's going on between you and Ye Fan? Do you two not know how to make babies? If that's the case, I've got plenty of experience to share with you! The main thing you need to understand is that men are visual creatures. I could take you shopping for some erotic lingerie when we're free later. After that, all you have to do is ))

Unable to stand Ye Xilan's shameless rambling, Ye Ximei cut her off, "That's enough, Xilan. You're setting a bad example for her! The water in the pot is boiling, so hurry up and put the dumplings in!"

"Remember what I told you, Mucheng! Make sure you put it into practice when Ye Fan comes back! Your mother-in-law is waiting to have grandchildren! Haha!" Ye Xilan reminded her with a mischievous chuckle as the three of them began cooking the dumplings.

Ye Fan's uncles and cousins dropped by later that evening.

"Haha! Look, Mucheng! Your uncles-in-law were on a business trip, but they took the earliest flight here when they heard you came to Jingzhou! It's a shame that rascal Ye Fan isn't here, or this would've been a perfect reunion dinner! Hahaha!"

The Ye family members joked around happily as they gathered around the dinner table.

Thanks to Ye Fan's accomplishments, the Ye family had become the most prominent family in Jiangdong.

As no one dared mess with them there, they were able to smoothly expand their business to the other provinces.

In fact, the main reason Ye Fan's uncles had rushed back to Jingzhou when they heard Qiu Mucheng came over was because of her identity as his wife.

Ye Fan was the main reason behind the Ye family's success, so it was only natural that they showed his wife great respect. Besides, Ye Tian and Ye Ya weren't the only ones present that night. Even Lei San had personally dropped by for a visit. Right as the Ye family's reunion dinner was at its climax, several cars slowly came to a halt outside the Ye family manor. A group of men then knocked on their door.

"Is this where Ye Fan, the Unrivalled, lives?" the one leading the group asked solemnly.

Qiu Mucheng and Ye Ximei stepped forward with confused looks on their faces. "I'm Ye Fan's mother. Who are you guys?"

Instead of answering her question, the men simply handed her a credit card and said, "As a token of appreciation for Ye Fan's contribution toward the country over the years, China is providing his family with fifty million as condolence money. Also, this document here is the country's guarantee for Ye Fan's children and family members. From now on, if his children decide to get involved in politics, they will be hired without the need for an interview. If they decide to further their studies, they will be allowed to pick any of China's universities to attend. If they decide to train in martial arts, then they may be accepted into War God Castle's 'Excellence Program' straight away. The country will devote its resources into nurturing them in whatever field they choose to pursue."
