A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 478 He's Worthy?
Yanjing.
A luxury car slowly drove into the Xu family house and stopped in front of the hall.
The car door opened and a middle aged man with an authoritative expression on his face got out.
He then made a call.
"Feng-Fei, gather all the important members of the family for a meeting in the main hall," his low voice resonated quietly in the dark night.
In the Xu house's main hall after a few minutes.
Several members of the family had arrived after receiving the call.
Even some who were busy entertaining clients quickly drove back for the meeting.
"Feng-Liang, you're back. Why didn't you tell us you were coming back earlier? We could have picked you up from the airport," said Xu Feng-Fei fairly politely when he saw who had arrived.
The only person who could make the second-in-command of the household behave so politely was the head of the family, Xu Feng-Liang.
"There's no need for formalities, just take a seat." Xu Feng-Liang waved him off and everyone settled down in the hall.
"Mei-Feng, how's your investigation on Ye Fan's family background coming along?" Xu Feng-Liang asked his own daughter, Xu Mei-Feng, first.
Xu Mei-Feng nodded. "Dad, I've got everything."
"Read it to me," said Xu Feng-Liang in a low voice.
"Ye Fan, from the province of Jiangdong, city of Yunzhou. He was born in the countryside, his mother is a farmer. Later he married into the Qiu family to become a live-in son-in-law. The Qiu family is a third tier family in Yunzhou and they're worth around $10 million or so. His wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng, is currently the CEO of Mufan Real Estate. Mufan Real Estate itself was opened with the help of Xu Lei, and is just a small business that isn't worth much," recited Xu Mei-Feng with her head lowered.
After hearing Ye Fan's background, the entire hall was filled with chatter.
They didn't expect this Ye Fan to be of such terrible status!
He was from the countryside and worse still, a live-in son-in-law?
"Oh my goodness, what a disgrace!"
"She decided to be a lover of a married man, and this man is even a live-in son-in-law."
"Such a descendant in the family is a complete disgrace to us!"
Many family members became angry and upset, and they felt it was such an embarrassment.
Xu Feng-Fei's expression was also rather nasty. He had heard the Xues mention that Ye Fan was a live-in son-in-law at Wolong Hotel.
But Xu Feng-Fei wasn't too sure. After all, he knew his niece well. How could someone as proud of Xu Lei fall for a useless live-in son-in-law? But now, even the information that Xu Mei-Feng had was the same.
With two sources verifying this information, Xu Feng-Fei had to believe it.
"Anymore? Is that it?" Xu Feng-Liang continued to ask Xu Mei-Feng expressionlessly even as the rest of the family was seething in anger.
Xu Mei-Feng nodded. "Dad, that's it."
"I've already checked everything I could. He has no father since he was a child, his mother is a farmer, his maternal grandparents are quite reputable within their village, but they're still a bunch of lice in any case."
"As for the Qiu family that he married into, they're just a third tier family in that tiny city, so they're not of any threat at all."
"In other words, this Ye Fan is a walking useless country bumpkin. I don't know which part of Xu Lei's brain went wrong, and I don't know how she ended up falling for someone like this. What a disgrace to herself," said Xu Mei-Feng with a cold smile. Her words were filled with mocking and her heart was smug.
She figured that Ye Fan was going to die soon because her father was back.
He was definitely going to seek justice for what happened to them before this!
But Xu Feng-Liang shook his head. "Continue your investigation. This Ye Fan cannot be as simple as he looks. I know Lei - given her pride, she would never fall for anyone who is completely useless like this." "Dad, what's there left to check? I've already checked his birth and his family background. He's nothing but a country bumpkin and a useless live-in son-in-law. Any further investigation would yield the same results. The most important thing now is to get that fellow here and teach him a good lesson to avenge Grandpa and Mum!" said Xu Mei-Feng anxiously.
Xu Mei-Feng hated Ye Fan to the core.
She wished she could tear him to piece right now!
"How ignorant! How willful! If you keep this up, then you're never going to be as good as your cousin, Lei," said Xu Feng-Liang angrily when he heard what Xu Mei-Feng said.
"Think about it. If that Ye Fan was really as useless as you describe him, do you think Lei would betray the family for him? Why would the Xue family be so deferential to him and would rather offend us instead? If you're always so impatient, how are you going to control the family and achieve great things in the future?" Xu Feng-Liang's words spewed out fiercely, and Xu Mei-Feng instantly became terrified. She hung her head and didn't dare to speak
anymore.
"I give you one day. I'll give you one more day. Tomorrow night, I want the real information on Ye Fan! I want to see who this Ye Fan really is!" instructed Xu Feng-Liang in a low voice before leaving the hall. Xu Mei-Feng then sent someone to check on Ye Fan again.
The next day.
A meeting was called in the main hall again.
"Dad, I've got more information, I've got it this time," said Xu Mei-Feng excitedly as she rushed into the hall and hoped that her father would compliment her this time.
"Dad, just as you expected, Ye Fan has another identity besides being a live-in son-in-law. His other identity is Mr Chu of Jiangdong! Some months ago, the richest man in Jiangdong, Wu He-Rong, went on a crazy revenge plan. In the end, Ye Fan was the one who seized the opportunity to defeat Wu He-Rong at the foot of Mount
Tai and became the hero of Jiangdong, and the various big shots of Jiangdong now view him as their leader."
After hearing these words, Xu Feng-Liang started to frown.
MrChu?
The leader of Jiangdong?
Was that what Ye Fan was falling back on?
Xu Feng-Liang shook his head and laughed quietly.
His smile was filled with disdain and contempt.
Xu Feng-Liang had thought that Ye Fan was backed by someone extremely powerful.
But it seemed like that wasn't the case.
"I suppose the Xue family either owes him a favor, or he has a hold over them. Otherwise, there's no reason why some gangster boss in a place like Jiangdong would be able to make an up and coming family like the Xues bow to him like that," Xu Feng-Liang made a guess in a low voice.
"Feng-Liang, what do we do now? Are we going to let Mr Chu take Lei away? Lei is the only daughter of our eldest brother," asked Xu Feng-Fei anxiously.
Xu Feng-Liang scoffed coldly. "Of course not!"
"He's just a hooligan and he dares to covet one of our family members? He thinks he's worthy?"
