A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1899

Ye Fan's words couldn't be any clearer.

Even though he didn't spell it out explicitly, it was obvious to everyone that Jiangbei would be under Zhang Jiuling and Lu Ziming's control.

Since the Meng family had been annihilated, the two of them were the only ones reputable enough to lead the region.

That was despite the fact that the Lu Clan and the Zhang family had suffered significant casualties.

The Zhang family in particular was close to being entirely decimated by the Meng family.

Fortunately, Zhang Jiuling's presence retained the soul of the family.

On top of that, the Meng family's collapse allowed the Zhang family to recover the businesses that Meng Wanjun had stolen from them.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Jiuling and the others were given time, they would be able to re-establish their family once their wounds had healed.

Subsequently, they could recover and consolidate their power and authority over Jiangbei.

It went without saying that they needed Ye Fan's support to do that.

Therefore, Ye Fan's words had given Zhang Jiuling and the others the motivation to do so.

After bowing to Ye Fan to express their loyalty, all of them subsequently left, causing the ward to fall into a deathly silence.

Meanwhile, Yue Yingchun and Hu Yipeng had widened their eyes in shock.

Despite being slow at times, they were not idiots at all.

By then, it was evident to them that Lu Ziming and Zhang Jiuling were prostrating themselves at Ye Fan's feet.

Why are they doing that? Isn't that silly fool just a poor kid who came to Jiangbei for work? Isn't he just a pitiful bachelor in his twenties? Furthermore, he can only afford to rent a small room from us for a meager sum.

The Hu family pitied him so much that Yue Yingchun went all over town just to find Ye Fan a wife.

Therefore, it was beyond their wildest imagination that this unknown and broke kid was shown so much respect by the two heads of Jiangbei's most prominent families.

At that instant, Yue Yingchun and her husband felt as if they didn't know Ye Fan at all.

After Zhang Jiuling and the others left, Yue Yingchun and her husband wanted to say something to Ye Fan.

However, they had no idea what kind of tone or attitude they should speak to him with.

Despite their apprehension, Ye Fan behaved normally, as if he was oblivious to the awkwardness in the room, he continued to sit by the bed and feed Tangtang an orange. Refusing to eat, Tangtang turned her head away.

"Kid, how can you not even finish one orange? If you don't eat more, how are you going to be strong enough to battle diseases?"

Ye Fan shook his head and broke into an affectionate

smile.

Just like that, Ye Fan spent the day with Tangtang and her family at the hospital.

Nevertheless, he wasn't able to stay long.

When evening arrived, Ye Fan took his leave from Hu Yipeng and his family.

Before he left, he gave the herbs that Junie had left to Hu Yipeng, "Mr. Hu, Junie brought these for you. Just follow the instructions on top on how often to take them. If everything goes well, it would do your legs a lot of good. Who knows, you might even be lucky enough to stand back up.

"As for the wounds on Tangtang's face, there's no need for you to worry. Once I travel to India and bring Junie back unharmed, she will definitely be able to help Tangtang recover her looks. Despite looking silly most of the time, she has impressive medical skills that will certainly amaze you. Back when I was facing certain death from my wounds, it was she who saved me. Hence, Tangtang will definitely be able to heal entirely given that her wounds are not that serious."

Amidst the gentle breeze during sunset, Ye Fan stood at the door in his airy clothes as he waved goodbye to

the Hu family.

Prior to that, they didn't believe Ye Fan when he told them the same thing, for they assumed that he was just comforting them.

However, after watching how respectful Lu Ziming and the rest were toward Ye Fan, they finally realized that the seemingly ordinary-looking youth was anything butthat.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Yue Yingchun dropped to her knees and burst into tears.

"M-Mr. Ye, thank you. Thank you so much! We would have been lost without you," Yue Yingchun expressed her gratitude.

At the same time, a teary-eyed Hu Yipeng also thanked Ye Fan who quickly helped both of them up.

"Mdm. Yue, don't be a stranger. Junie and I already see all of you as family. If you ever address me that way again, both of us won't visit you and Mr. Hu anymore. All right now, I have to go. You should hurry back to take care of Tangtang. Or else, she might cry her eyes out when she doesn't see anyone inside when she wakes up. Remember to bid goodbye to her for me. Tell her that I'll definitely come back to visi

her."

Ye Fan words finally tickled Yue Yingchun and her husband.

As tears welled up in the couple's eyes, they were filled with a sense of warmth in their hearts.

"You silly kid, if you don't come back to visit, we will find you in Jiangdong and kick your ass! In all seriousness, you really have hidden so much from us that we had to constantly worry about you. Previously, when my husband advised you to keep a low profile, he didn't mean for you to overdo it.

"In fact, I'm starting to doubt if Junie is even your sister at all. Tell me the truth, are both of you a couple? Is she your girlfriend? You really have done well for yourself to have found such a beautiful girlfriend." Before he left, Yue Yingchun and her husband teased Ye Fan so much that he blushed in embarrassment.

After that, they walked with him for a while longer before finally parting ways.

With that, Ye Fan's adventure in Jiangbei had finally come to a close.

Unknown to him, Tangtang's wails echoed through the hospital a short while after he was gone.

"Ye Fan... I want Ye Fan... I don't want him to leave...

Boohoo..."

Ignoring the pain on her face, Tangtang bawled as she rushed out of the hospital barefooted.

By the time she arrived, all she could see was traffic and crowds.

There was just no sign of the familiar scrawny silhouette.

Nevertheless, she would still remember his towering image for many years to come.

She could never forget the hero who descended from the heavens when she was in the deepest depths of her despair.

She would always remember the day Ye Fan set off fireworks in the entire sky for her.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Fan summoned Zhang Jiuling and Lu Ziming again to give them further instructions.

Essentially, he was informing them about his immediate trip to India.

After the Meng family's fall, he didn't really care about who held the reins of power in Jiangbei.

All that mattered to him was the safety of the Hu family and Qiu Mucheng.

"There's no need to worry, Mr. Chu. After all, you have both of us here in Jiangbei. As long as we're still alive, we will never let Ms. Qiu and the Hu family come to any harm," both Zhang Jiuling and Lu Ziming solemnly assured him.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Ye Fan turned and left.

"Mr. Chu, wait," Zhang Jiuling suddenly called out.

"Zixi, are you ready yet? Why haven't you come out?" Zhang Jiuling shouted toward his back.

The next moment, the room door opened. Just like a blooming flower, a figure sauntered out with the grace and elegance only a Jiangnan girl would have.

Even Lu Ziming couldn't help but widen his eyes in amazement.

He couldn't believe that the stunning beauty in exquisite makeup in front of him was Zhang Zixi.

All this while, Zhang Zixi always carried herself brashly.

But now, the way she dressed made her look like a submissive girl from Jiangnan.

She was wearing a long and flowy white dress with a beige sash around her waist that accentuated her curvaceous figure. The dress added to her allure by showing how voluptuous she was.

As her flawless white skin was faintly visible under her dress, she looked extremely inviting. It was as if she was waiting for the one who was fated to be with her to have her.

Her long legs and slender waist added to the sensuality she exuded.
