A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 428 This Is What a Gift Looks Like

"What?"

"A rusty tripod?"

"He came to the birthday party of the heir of the Xu family bearing this gift?"

All the guests at the party instantly exploded the moment Ye Fan took out the gift.

Many people chuckled nonstop and looked at Ye Fan like he was an idiot.

Li Yuan laughed until she bent over when she saw it was the same copper tripod that Ye Fan tried to give her family last night.

"Haha, you idiot! You're a louse and miser. I already threw it out when you offered my family this dumb tripod last night. I thought you would at least change it up a little. I didn't expect you to try and give away this dumb tripod again. Haha, even if you bought a vase and claimed it was an antique, it would look better than this dumb tripod. Con artists usually change up their ploys, but you just keep using the same tripod. Are you dumb? Or do you think we are dumb?" said Li Yuan as she almost immediately burst at the seams from laughter.

Li Yuan already threw out this stupid tripod, which Ye Fan tried to give her family last night. She was surprised that Ye Fan would come to freeload off the Xu family and offer them the same gift.

Even her family didn't get deceived by his tripod. Did this idiot think he could pull the wool over the Xu family's eyes?

Sure enough, the moment Xu Mei-Feng saw the old rusty tripod in Ye Fan's hands, her face instantly looked furious. "Where did this dumbass come from?

What have the guards been doing? How could they have let him in? Throw him out now!"

Xu Mei-Feng was so furious that her face was livid. It was her birthday, but some random poor man from the countryside crashed her banquet, so it made her feel embarrassed and dampened her spirits. "Don't get mad, Mei-Feng. I will chase him out for you," said Xing Tian as he pounced on the chance to please Xu Mei-Feng. Then he instantly stepped forward and stared coldly at Ye Fan.

"How dare you, you brat! How dare to come here to leech off Mei-Feng? Kneel and apologize to her now!" scolded Xing Tian angrily. His voice was filled with contempt for Ye Fan.

Xing Tian didn't care about the dignity of a country bumpkin like Ye Fan. He merely wanted to impress Xu Mei-Feng and make her think highly of him.

Ye Fan remained expressionless as Xing Tian cursed him. Then he calmly said, "I said I'm here to celebrate Miss Xu's birthday."

"Celebrate my foot! Is a country bumpkin like you even good enough to celebrate Mei-Feng's birthday with her? How could you even have the cheek to pick up a piece of trash from the junkyard and give it to someone as a gift? It's such a disgrace!" said Xing Tian rudely as he interrupted Ye

Fan right away and sneered.

"That's right," chimed Li Yuan, "You're pretty bold for a country bumpkin. How dare you stir trouble at an event like this? This is no place for a louse like you! Did you think you could pretend to be some big shot just by giving away junk like that? A true big shot should at least give a diamond ring worth millions, just like Mr Xing!"

Li Yuan bragged about her boss, Xing Tian, as she belittled Ye Fan.

Xing Tian undoubtedly became even cockier. He even especially took the diamond ring from the table and placed it in front of Ye Fan to open his eyes. "See this? This is what a real gift looks like. That stupid tripod can't compare to the diamond ring I gave Mei-Feng," said Xing Tian as he smiled haughtily. Then an old man dressed in a tangzhuang turned up in the hall.

"Miss Xu, I Wang Kai-Ge, apologize for being late. In order to express my apology, I specially brought you a silver tea set from the Yongzheng era as your birthday gift." The old man laughed resoundingly as he walked over.

Everyone was shocked to see the man.

Wang Kai-Ge?

"Wang Kai-Ge from Panjiayuan?"

"Isn't he the most famous master appraiser, who is an honorary professor at Yanjing University?"

"I heard that he took part in many national relic appraisals and found many lost Chinese relics abroad. He's recovered countless pieces of priceless art for the country." "Then he even donated one of the 12 bronze zodiacs of Yuanming Gardens to the country."

"So even the mayor of Yanjing personally received him to thank him for his service to the country!"

"My god, what's a master like him doing here?"

The moment they heard Wang Kai-Ge's name, many of the rich and the powerful were stunned.

Wang Kai-Ge couldn't compare to the others in wealth.

But no one else present held as much prestige as him in Yanjing.

After all, Wang Kai-Ge dedicated his entire life to the study of antiques and helped the country to recover relics.

Personal accomplishments and prestige were priceless.

Everyone in the hall immediately stood up to greet him respectfully, 'Master Wang'.

Such was his level of prestige!

Master Wang was a national hero who was even received by the mayor before. Since he was a prestigious older man, he was deserving of their respect.

Even Xu Mei-Feng felt deeply flattered. Then she hurriedly stood up and went over to welcome him, "Grandpa Kai-Ge, I'm too young to deserve this from you. I'm already deeply flattered that you could grace us with your presence."

Xu Mei-Feng smiled nonstop. She was undoubtedly delighted that Wang Kai-Ge turned up.

Even a master class appraiser like Master Wang came to her birthday banquet, so Xu Mei-Feng naturally felt conceited about it.

Then Xu Mei-Feng saw Ye Fan still standing there, so she said coldly, "Guards! Get this louse out of here! Are you ready to be held accountable if he bothers Master Wang?"

Xu Mei-Feng spoke in detest.

Yet just as Xu Mei-Feng was about to drive Ye Fan away, Master Wang's eyes instantly lit up.

Master Wang's face twitched, and his pupils constricted the moment he spotted something. Then he shouted in shock, "That...that's a treasure!"

Then Master Wang hurried over towards Xing Tian with his gleaming.

Xing Tian was immediately delighted.

He thought Wang was talking about the diamond rind in his hand, so he went over and showed off his diamond ring to Wang.

"Haha, Master Wang, even you noticed that this diamond ring is extraordinary, right? I especially got someone to buy it from Europe for Mei-Feng. Royal craftsmen from Western Europe created each pattern and carving on it. It has a market value of $5 million but I was worried that Mei-Feng wouldn't accept it, so I only said it was worth hundreds of thousands," said Xing Tian as he chuckled. He even bragged that it was worth millions.

Xu Mei-Feng's face instantly trembled when she heard him. Then she said, "Xing Tian, really? You were too kind."

Just as Xu Mei-Feng was about to step forward and take a look at the diamond ring that Wang Kai-Ge claimed was a treasure, Wang Kai-Ge unexpectedly shoved Xing Tian several meters away. "What rubbish is this? How dare you call this a treasure? Get out of my way!"
