A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1781

"No! Yurou, you can't stay under the same roof with a stranger! Not to mention he's a guy! I won't agree to this!" the foreign man said. His name was Jack Brown, and he felt jealous that He Yurou had invited Ye Ban to stay at her place.

He Yurou didn't even give him a moment of her time, nor did she spare a glance at him. "Ignore him, Mr. Chu. He's just someone from school. Nothing more," she explained.

Ye Fan smiled at her. "But he does not seem to think so."

"I don't care what he thinks. It has nothing to do with me." He Yurou seemed annoyed by Jack. Every time she mentioned him, she sounded angry. "Anyway, it's getting late, Mr. Chu. I'll take you guys to my place first. I can clean your rooms for you."

He Yurou wanted to take Ye Fan back to her place as soon as possible. Before she even finished her coffee, she had already started leading Ye Fan and Tang Yun over to her place, and Ye Fan let her. They needed a safe and quiet place to heal up, after all.

"Sir, you'll have to pay the bill first," a waiter came over to get them to pay.

Ye Fan nodded. He was about to take his wallet out, but He Yurou settled the bill before he could. "Thank you, Yurou. Honestly, you're too kind. Not only did you give us a place to stay, but you also paid for our coffee." He smiled gratefully.

He Yurou answered happily, "It's what I should do. You're a guest, and I'm the host. I can't let you pay on my turf. Besides, my father crossed you before. Since I'm his daughter, you can considerthis a little apology." He Yurou beamed.

Ye Fan took her up on that offer, and he laughed. "Well, if you insist, I shall take you up on your generosity then. Next time you're in Jiangdong, let me be the host."

With that, the three of them hailed a taxi and left for He Yurou's condominium.

"Wait for me, Yurou! Wait for me!" Jack shouted. "He Yurou! How can you dump me for someone you just met?" he roared.

He was friends with He Yurou, or so he thought. How could she be so cruel? She dumped me and left with

someone she just met!

In the taxi, Ye Fan joked, "Yurou, that young man back there doesn't look half bad, and he's nice to you. Why don't you give him a chance?"

He Yurou shook her head. "Mr. Chu, don't fall for his tricks. He might look loyal, but the guy's a playboy.

He has a lot of girlfriends back at school, and all of them look decent too.

"Not to mention there are at least five girls who got an abortion after they got pregnant with his kid. He's nothing but a piece of scum. So I don't care how 'great' of a catch he is, I will never give him half a chance."

Ye Fan nodded. "True. Relationships and marriage are big things in life. Power and wealth aren't the most important thing here. If it's up to me, I'd say personality takes first place."

"Yeah, and you're a great example, Mr. Chu. My father said that you're just a live-in son-in-law many years ago, and the Qiu family humiliated you forthat. Even Ms. Qiu herself neglected you back then. "Most people would have left if they had to endure such suffering, but you never did. You stayed by Ms.

Qiu's side even after you became the most famous person in Yunzhou and Jiangdong.

"You never left the person you married. And the company she's holding, Mufan Group, is founded by you, right? You built it up for her. Honestly, I envy her, Mr. Chu. She's smart and lucky enough to marry you, and you never left her for anything," He Yurou said gently, her voice filled with longing.

To He Yurou or anyone else for that matter, Ye Fan was far above Qiu Mucheng's league. After all, she was just a commoner's daughter.

Her family wasn't exactly powerful, and back when Ye Fan was still a live-in son-in-law, she was always cold toward him. He Yurou had heard of rumors saying that she never allowed Ye Fan to sleep in the same bed as her.

When Ye Fan became King of Jiangdong, a lot of people thought he would divorce Qiu Mucheng. After all, their marriage was just a joke, to begin with.

However, what happened next shocked everyone. Not only did Ye Fan not neglect Qiu Mucheng, he even made her Queen of Jiangdong so she could help him manage his hometown.

He also added Qiu Mucheng's name to his company name, and that kind of loyalty he showed impressed a lot of people.

While He Yurou was talking about Ye fan's past, Tang Yun started to seem a bit forlorn, and something welled up within her.

Perhaps she was starting to regret the decision she made that night. I probably shouldn't have left with him. He already has a family, while I'm just someone he met after he married someone else. I can't just wreck his home on nothing but mere impulse.

The more she thought about it, the worse she felt, and she started to look sad. Suddenly, she couldn't see a future together with Ye Fan.

Just when Tang Yun was starting down that depressing line of thought, she felt Ye Fan holding her hands firmly.

"There's nothing to be jealous about. Mucheng and I have been married for a long time. We're more like a family now, not lovers. You're still young, Yurou. You'll find someone nice. Maybe he'll be better than I am." Ye Fan shifted the topic.

The matter about Qiu Mucheng and Tang Yun was a sensitive one for Ye Fan. Talking too much about it wasn't great, especially with Tang Yun around.

"Mr. Chu, there's a saying I have heard," He Yurou suddenly said.

"What kind of saying?"

She looked at Ye Fan calmly. "Sometimes you just can't go back. When you have seen someone extraordinary, you can never think of anyone else as great, no matter how outstanding they are." "Um..." The corner of Ye Fan's left eye twitched, and for some reason, he had a bad feeling about what would happen.

Just as he expected, Tang Yun pinched his arm, hard.

Ye Fan, you b *stard! You 're just a playboy in the end! You flirt with girls everywhere you go!

Ye Fan winced from the pain. Oh, my God, this is not my fault. I swear I am not the extraordinary man Yurou is talking about!

He had only met He Yurou a few times before. They weren't exactly friends just yet, so he reckoned Tang Yun must be misunderstanding something.

He Yurou noticed the look on Ye Fan's face, and she chuckled. "I'm just kidding, Mr. Chu. It's still too early for me to look for a boyfriend. I just want to be better so I can stand alongside great people."
