A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 427 Ye Fan's Gift

Also, Xue Ming-Hua's older brother was the head of the Xue family, so now that she did the Xue family such a huge favor, Xue Ming-Hua's older brother would definitely have a good impression of her. Xu Mei-Feng thought Xue Ming-Hua's older brother would personally attend the birthday banquet, but Xue Ming-Hua turned up instead.

Xue Ming-Hua smiled and replied, "My older brother wanted to come personally. After all, Miss Xu is the one who helped matchmake Leilei and I and made our engagement go so smoothly. The Xue family will always be grateful to Miss Xu. My big brother handpicked this gift and spent a month's worth salary on buying it and told me to hand it to Miss Xu as your birthday gift personally."

Everyone trembled when they heard Xue Ming-Hua words.

A month's salary?

Then it was probably worth millions.

The Xue family certainly was generous to send an extravagant million dollar gift as a birthday present.

Many people sighed in envy.

After all, despite the billions that their huge family businesses raked in, their businesses had equally high expenditures, and many of their companies had loan liabilities.

So unless it were an important event, they wouldn't have the motivation to present a gift worth millions as a birthday gift to a woman.

Xing Tian was the Xing family's heir, and his gift came in second to the Xue family's jade hairpin. The diamond ring he presented was worth about $900,000 and cost almost half a year of his income. Xing Tian went all out just to impress the girl today.

But Xing Tian naturally couldn't compare to the Xue family.

"Did your brother handpick it? Thanks, I love it," said Xu Mei-Feng as she beamed when she heard what Xue Ming-Hua said. Then she excitedly invited Xue Ming-Hua to take his seat.

Then many rich and powerful guests offered birthday gifts to Xu Mei-Feng.

This went on for almost 30 minutes before all the guests were done congratulating her.

Xu Mei-Feng suddenly stood up after the guests sat down. She held up a glass of wine proudly in a dignified manner said proudly to everyone, "My father isn't around today, so I represent the Xu family today. On behalf of the Xu family, I, Xu Mei-Feng, thank everyone for coming today. Allow me to offer you a toast!"

Xu Mei-Feng stood proudly in front of the main seat.

She could sense the reverence coming from the crowd when she held up the wine glass. Then she tilted her head back and finished the red wine in her glass with a gulp as everyone looked on intently.

CLAP CLAP CLAP...

Thunderous applause rang.

"Miss Xu has both beauty and brains.

You're extraordinary."

"I'm sure when the head retires, he will leave the family in your hands."

"Let's all offer Miss Xu a toast as well."

Everyone flattered Xu Mei-Feng amid the applause, and the sound of ingratiation kept surging through the hall.

Xu Mei-Feng proudly smiled as she looked down at the people who were fawning her and seemed to be in high spirits.

It felt as though she had reached her pinnacle of life.

But just as Xu Mei-Feng was reveling in all the attention, the hall door suddenly opened.

Then a skinny young man quietly came into sight.

"And you are?" asked Xu Mei-Feng when the man suddenly appeared before her.

The other people looked at the man curiously as well.

He didn't seem wealthy or influential at all, judging from his outfit.

Was he the Xu family's guest?

The man raised his head and smiled as he calmly replied to Xu Mei-Feng's question, "I'm Ye Fan from Yunzhou. I'm here to celebrate Miss Xu's birthday." Ye Fan's calm reply sounded like a cool breeze wafting through the halls.

The moment Ye Fan spoke, a graceful and stunning woman sitting in the other room in the bungalow was instantly shocked.

It felt as though a shocking thunderclap exploded in Xu Lei's heart and her eyes instantly stared wide-eyed.

Joy swept through her heart like a tsunami.

"Is...is he really here?"

No one knew how excited Xu Lei was.

It felt as though she had gone back into the past ten years to that night.

The young man appeared from nowhere like a knight in shining armor when she felt hopeless.

He was like a ray of light, which lighted both her and her dark life up!

In the bungalow hall.

Ye Fan's arrival caused quite a stir in the hall.

"Yunzhou? Where is that? Is it some new district in Yanjing?" asked Xu Mei-Feng quizzically when she realized she didn't know of such a place.

All the other guests were equally perplexed.

"Ye Fan? Is there such a person in Yanjing? Are there any big families in Yanjing that have the surname Ye?" sneered someone from the crowd just as everyone started wondering who Ye Fan was. "Haha, I was just wondering who it was. It's that country bumpkin. If he was important, then Yunzhou is probably a little village," said someone as she laughed coldly. All eyes instantly glanced over in unison. Li Yuan walked out with a smile on her face as she glanced at Ye Fan with disdain in her eyes.

"Yuanyuan, don't cause trouble. Come over here now," said Xing Tian when he saw his secretary standing up to speak. His face instantly went pale.

It was Miss Xu Mei-Feng's birthday. How could his secretary make trouble?

He wouldn't have brought her here if he knew this would happen.

But Li Yuan smugly smiled when she heard Xing Tian reprimanding her. Then she assured him, "Mr Xing, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Then Li Yuan walked up to Xu Mei-Feng and said, "Miss Xu, don't be fooled by him. He freeloaded at my place last night by claiming he was an important man, but my father chased him out in the end. I didn't think he would have the gall to sponge off Miss Xu at your birthday party. Don't judge him by his looks. He's nothing but a louse from the countryside. He's a countryside bumpkin without a dime or an ounce of power. He didn't have the money to get a proper gift when he came to my place for dinner last night, so he picked up some piece of junk and gave it to us as a gift. I threw it out the moment he gave it to us."

What?

A country bumpkin who freeloads?

Li Yuan shocked everyone with this information.

After all, this was no place for a freeloader.

Everyone present was rich and powerful.

How dare a country bumpkin attend a banquet for high society?

"Miss, you'd better be careful with your words. How could a louse from the countryside have the guts to come here? It's wrong to make false accusations," said someone quizzically.

But Li Yuan smiled and appeared confident.

"Why don't you wait for this supposed big shot to present his birthday gift before you decide? He gave my family a rusty hunk of metal last night. I just wonder what precious gift he will give Miss Xu now?" ridiculed Li Yuan quietly.

All eyes turned to Ye Fan instantly again.

They clearly wanted to take a look at the young man's gift for Miss Xu Mei-Feng.

Then Ye Fan gently removed a heavy and antique-like object from his gift bag under everyone's scrutiny.

"I, Ye Fan, come bearing a copper tripod and wish Miss Xu eternal beauty!"
