A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 513 Coronation Ceremony

Ye Fan's words floated across Yanqi Lake.

Xu Lei was in a shock.

Her body trembled and there was much emotion and surprise in her beautiful eyes.

She never thought that Ye Fan had done all this for her sake.

He didn't intend to be king but he wanted her to be the emperor.

Xu Lei nearly burst into tears when she heard these words.

Ten years had passed. He had promised her a lifetime of luxury back then and he had finally fulfilled his promise.

Today, he gave her everything!

Just like that, Xu Lei smiled beautifully as everyone looked on in both shock and envy. She took light steps forward and stood at the highest point of Yanjing with Ye Fan! From today onwards, Xu Lei will be the

queen of Yanjing! Is there anybody here today who disagrees?"

Ye Fan stood proudly in the battle ring.

His authoritative eyes swept the spectators.

His imposing aura covered everyone.

Ye Fan dominated the entire venue. It was completely silent and nobody dared to speak.

After a long time, they snapped out of their daze and started to bow and pay their respects together. "The Xue family..."

"The Su family..."

"The Li family..."

"We are all willing to acknowledge Miss Xu Lei as the queen of Yanjing!"

The rising voices rushed like a river.

Everyone rushed to pay their respects to the couple while Xu Feng-Liang was already rooted to the spot.

He stood where he was and felt nothing but loss and shock in his heart.

Ye Fan had told him earlier that he didn't need 30 years. As long as Lei was willing, he could bring her to the peak of Yanjing this very night!

Xu Feng-Liang had dismissed these words as just the bold words of a young and rash man.

But he was wrong.

He had underestimated that man.

"Since you've found such a man as your partner, then I will send you my blessings and my congratulations!" said Xu Feng-Liang as he shook his head.

His weak words were filled with disappointment, sadness and great frustration.

The next generation had come up.

Xu Feng-Liang knew very well that the moment Ye Fan pushed Xu Lei up to the peak of Yanjing, it was time for him to step down as the head of the Xu family. "Is this...is this..."

"Is this real?"

While Xu Feng-Liang was filled with disappointment, Xu Lei's classmates were filled with shock.

Guo Ya-Wen was in a daze.

She couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.

A lowly employee in a third tier small city had become the queen of Yanjing suddenly?

She was now at the peak of power and all the rich and powerful were paying respects to her?

"Lei, I thought you had met a bad guy and found a useless bum who didn't have any accomplishments, so I thought Ye Fan wasn't worthy of you. Looks like I was wrong and we were all wrong. We were very wrong! I thought Ye Fan was just a worm, but the one you have fallen for turned out to be a dragon. Lei, congratulations on finding your happiness," said Meng Han in a self-deprecating voice. There were tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

She looked at the young lady in the center of attention in front.

Her heart was filled with many complicated emotions.

She was envious, jealous, disappointed yet comforted.

That was how humans were. They were often afraid that their closest friends would do badly in life, but were also afraid that they might do better than themselves.

They were still pitying Xu Lei and felt that Xu Lei was wasting her life on Ye Fan just a few hours ago. But now, these old classmates realized that Xu Lei was probably going to become someone they couldn't even come close to.

It was evening.

The sun was setting and the sky was dyed a deep red.

Jinlong Hotel was sparkling brightly.

A brand new red carpet was laid at the entrance and extended a kilometer out.

There were nearly 100 elegant waitresses in cheongsams standing along the two sides of the red carpet politely with their hands placed in front.

There were plenty of lights and fresh flowers outside the hotel.

The great sea of luxury vehicles gathered outside Jinlong Hotel.

Many wealthy families' daughters, elites from the political world, top celebrities and popular bands were invited over.

The passersby were incredibly shaken when they saw such a grand scene before them.

"Oh my goodness, so many luxury cars!"

"That red carpet is probably a kilometer long, right?"

"Look! Isn't that the one who won best actress this year, Zhang Miao-Han?"

"Oh my! Firefly Band is here too?"

"They probably cost $10 million just to appear, right?"

"What's happening at Jinlong Hotel today?"

"This is even crazier than those ancient emperors, right?"

Everyone went crazy as they watched all the rich and powerful people walk in.

They couldn't stop murmuring among themselves.

Their voices filled the air.

"Tsk, they're just a bunch of lice. They wouldn't know anything about Mr Hua." Xu Mei-Feng was in a long Victorian dress at the hotel entrance. Her expensive dressing made her look like a high and mighty princess.

She stood there and listened to the discussions of the passersby, but there was nothing but arrogance and disdain on her lips.

But these lice got one thing right.

Tonight, they weren't welcoming an ancient emperor, but that description wasn't too far off.

Tonight, the Xu family was throwing a banquet to hail Hua Ying-Long as the king.

The Xu family was the one who pushed Hua Ying-Long right to the peak of Yanjing.

As long as his position was high, then the Xu family could rely on Mr Hua to become the most powerful in Yanjing.

"When that happens, then I'll be the princess of Yanjing! When my father retires, I'll inherit the Xu family assets and become the head of the family. Then I'll be queen of Yanjing! I'll be only below one person, but above ten thousand!"

Xu Mei-Feng felt like she was floating in the clouds when she thought about this.

She couldn't wait for the banquet that night.

As for Xu Lei, Xu Mei-Feng couldn't stand her a long time ago.

"That woman stooped so low and thought that just because she's got the support of some stupid Mr Chu, she can just do whatever she wants? Mr Hua's skill is unparalleled in the world, so I'm sure that lover boy of yours has already been killed off by Mr Hua. Without that gangster to protect you, you're never getting out of my hands and I'm going to get you this time." Xu Mei-Feng felt so smug thinking about it. She just felt that nothing but immense power and glory awaited herself and the

Xu family.

But as the sky darkened, she still couldn't see the people she was waiting for.

"Miss Xu, what time will Mr Xu be here?"

"We're all still waiting."

The various guests were beginning to lose their patience in the hotel.

Even though the top powers of Yanjing were all at Yanqi Lake, Yanjing was such a huge city, so there were still other important people who didn't attend the match.

In order to make the event even grader, Xu Mei-Feng had invited everyone she could.

"Soon, soon, he's almost here."

Xu Mei-Feng placated the guests and quickly ran to look for her uncle.

"Uncle Fei, anything from my dad?"

Xu Feng-Fei looked grim and shook his head. "Nothing yet. I can't get through to him. Mei-Feng, I'm a little worried. Do you think something happened to your father?" "Impossible!" Xu Mei-Feng immediately shouted in reply.

"Mr Hua is unparalleled in might and you might not even find anyone who can be his match in all of China. Mr Hua is definitely going to come out victorious in today's match! Let's just wait quietly for Dad and Mr Hua to return victoriously!" Xu Mei-Feng was filled with great confidence.
