A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 430 Dragons and Phoenixes Symbolize Good Fortune

Li Yuan shamelessly went all out for the sake of $500 million.

Ye Fan looked at Li Yuan's greedy and vile face. Then he softly smiled and laughed as he said, "I brought the square tripod to the Li family wanting to give it to Xiao-Hong's parents as a gift, but your family looked down on it, and Miss Li even tossed the Four Dragon Square Tripod out. Have you changed your mind now, Miss Li? But why the sudden change of heart? Why are you asking for something that you threw out last night?"

Ye Fan smiled calmly. Despite the cold smile on his face as he spoke, he mocked and made fun of her.

"It was a misunderstanding, Mr Chu. It was all a misunderstanding last night," said Li Yuan as she smiled so hard that the thick makeup on her face was about to crack. She did her utmost to ingratiate him. But Master Wang exploded before Li Yuan could explain.

"What? Are you the one who damaged this national relic? Did you even throw it out of your house? Animal, you animal!" bellowed Master Wang furiously the moment he heard Ye Fan and Li Yuan's conversation. National treasures meant everything to Master Wang.

He even slapped Li Yuan so hard in a fit of anger that she fell onto the ground.

"You stupid woman! This tripod is a national relic. This Four Dragon Square Tripod contains thousands of years' worth of national fortune. How could you be so stupid to damage it purposely? Do you know what a crime it is to damage national relics intentionally? You might even get sentenced to death if it is serious," said Master Wang angrily as he scolded Li Yuan.

Master Wang thought that the national relic was unintentionally damaged due to Ye Fan's carelessness with storage.

But he didn't expect that this woman to have deliberately damaged it.

Since intentional harm was inflicted on the tripod, the nature of the matter changed completely in an instant.

Master Wang previously felt sorry about the damage.

Now Master Wang was furious.

Every piece of ancient bronze vessel were priceless treasures.

There was no way to restore them once the damage was inflicted.

So even the slightest scratch cut deeply into Master Wang's heart.

How could Master Wang hold his temper back when he found out Li Yuan purposely defaced it?

Li Yuan was undoubtedly stunned, and her face became ghastly pale.

She didn't expect that the consequences of throwing out a lousy hunk of metal last night were so great!

But fortunately, Ye Fan had given the square tripod to her family.

So no one could hold them accountable for damaging the Li family's private property.

Li Yuan's mood instantly lifted a lot at the thought of this. Then she turned to sneer at Master Wang, "Master Wang, although you are a master in the field, don't you think you are crossing the line here? Mr Chu gave this square tripod to my family, so it belongs to us. Since it belongs to me, I can throw it if I want to. Is it any of your business?"

Li Yuan smiled coldly.

Then the moment she finished her words, Xu Mei-Feng stepped forward and slapped Li Yuan.

"Who is this dumbass? How dare you snatch my things? How brazen of you!"

Xu Mei-Feng's slap sent Li Yuan falling to the ground right away and she covered her face and cried instantly.

But regardless of the resentment seething in her heart, Li Yuan didn't dare to utter a word given the Xu family's influence.

"Calm down, Mei-Feng. It's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates strictly enough. I will tell her to leave now!"

Li Yuan was Xing Tian's secretary, so when she offended Xu Mei-Feng, he quickly stepped forward to clean up the mess.

After apologizing to Xu Mei-Feng, Xing Tian turned and scolded Li Yuan, "You dumbass! How dare you snatch Mei-Feng's present? You're disgusting! Are you even good enough to own a tripod worth millions? Why did I, Xing Tian, hire an idiot like you? You ruined my plans! Hurry up and get lost!"

Xing Tian reprimanded her furiously.

Xing Tian wanted to take the opportunity to impress Xu Mei-Feng, but after what Li Yuan did, Xu Mei-Feng probably had a bad feeling towards him now.

How could Xing Tian not be angry?

So he yelled at Li Yuan straight away and chased her out.

Xu Mei-Feng changed her disdainful attitude towards Ye Fan and walked over to him with a smile on her face. Then she said both enthusiastically and with courtesy, "Mr Ye, I was blinded by that evil woman and misunderstood you. I stood up for you and chased her away. This Four Dragon Square Tripod is certainly too precious, but since Mr Ye brought it all the way here and insists on giving it to me, I will respect your wishes and accept it. I adore this birthday present, Mr Ye. Dragons and phoenixes symbolize good fortune! This is a fine square tripod and suits my high status well."

Xu Mei-Feng's were brimming with delight and pride.

Xu Mei-Feng was delighted that her assets was going to increase by millions so effortlessly.

She was proud that she, Xu Mei-Feng, had such a powerful charm.

That she could make Ye Fan spare no expense and give her a tripod worth millions to ingratiate her.

Xu Mei-Feng sensed the looks of envy from the guests around her and lapped it all up happily.

But Xu Mei-Feng kept her eyes on the square tripod the entire time.

There was a greedy look on her face as though she was afraid that this square tripod would run away.

Then Xu Mei-Feng reached her hands out towards the Four Dragon Square Tripod worth millions to take it from Ye Fan. She was itching to get her hands on it.

But the moment Xu Mei-Feng attempted to grab it from Ye Fan, he unexpectedly pulled his hands away, and she almost fell to the ground.

"What on earth?" Xu Mei-Feng instantly frowned.

She wondered if he was regretting giving it to her now.

Was this man genuinely a poor farmer who didn't know how much the square tripod was worth at all? Did he change his mind now that he realized it was worth millions?

How could he do that?

Xu Mei-Feng was so close to getting the square tripod. How could she let him run off with it?

Even if she snatched it by force, she had to have it!

Then Xu Mei-Feng stepped forward once again and continued to try snatching the square tripod from Ye Fan's hands.

Despite using so much strength that her face flushed red and she was on the verge of the blatantly snatching it from him, Ye Fan had no intention of letting go.

"Mr Ye, what is the meaning of this?" asked Xu Mei-Feng unhappily after she failed to snatch it back.

"Are you going back on your word? Let go and give it to Mei-Feng," said Xing Tian sternly to Ye Fan. Xing Tian clearly didn't want to pass up on the opportunity to please Xu Mei-Feng.

"How could you take back something you already offered as a gift? It's a sheer waste for someone like you to own the Four Dragon Square Tripod. It's a national relic, and only someone as ravishing as Mei- Feng deserves to own it! Dragons and phoenixes make the perfect match! This tripod was custom-made for Mei-Feng. Let go now, you earthworm!" said Xing Tian very enthusiastically as he wanted to impress Xu Mei-Feng.

After railing at Ye Fan, Xing Tian himself dashed over to try snatching it from Ye Fan.
