A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 585 A Shaken Jiangdong

In the end, Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying decided to let their insurance settle this accident.

As for that Maybach, Wang Li-Li took it back for repairs. It was going to take a while before it could hit the road again.

"HAHA! Mu-Cheng, did you see the faces on Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei? Their faces were as red as pig liver! I'd bet they'd never dare to show off anymore!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng and the rest were feeling really good on their way back.

After thinking about what just happened, Su Qian found the whole thing really hilarious.

Ye Fan had given them too many surprises over the past few days.

In fact, Su Qian's attitude towards Ye Fan had quietly started to change without her realizing.

Even though the image of that Harmonica Prince in her heart had been shattered after finding out that Ye Fan was the one who was playing the harmonica back then, and she wasn't filled with admiration and passion for Ye Fan either, the disdain she used to have for Ye Fan had faded quite a lot.

In the past, Su Qian would never have allowed Ye Fan to take her car.

But now, he was in the car with the two ladies and chatting with them.

Perhaps she still looked down on him because of Ye Fan's lowly birth and family background.

But she had to admit that Ye Fan had some other redeeming qualities.

She suddenly felt like she could understand why her BFF, Qiu Mu-Cheng, continued to be faithful and devoted to Ye Fan.

After they got home, Qiu Mu-Cheng went with Su Qian to the hairdresser's, and the huge bungalow was left with only Ye Fan.

Li Er happened to call during this time.

"Mr Chu, everything has been arranged. The first Feast of the Sea and Sky with you as the leader will be held in seven days' time on 1 st January at Haiyuan Restaurant. I'll arrange for the invitation cards to be sent to all the various important people of Jiangdong. On New Year's Day, just wait for everyone to come and pay their respects to you!" Li Er's admiring and respectful voice rang in Ye Fan's ear.

Ye Fan nodded and just said, "OK."

He then hung up.

Ye Fan stood next to the window with his hands behind his back.

The stars were reflected in his deep eyes.

Seven days.

These seven days were probably the last days Ye Fan could stay in Yunzhou.

And that was also the last bit of time he had with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Mu-Cheng, it won't be long. Before leaving, I will let you know what sort of existence your husband really is. After I leave, nobody will ever look down on you because of this!"

Boom...

The cold wind blew and brought Ye Fan's words with it to a place far, far away.

At the same time, a few dozen luxury cars sped out from Yunzhou in all directions.

Nobody would know that these cars driving out of Yunzhou would soon raise a huge storm throughout the province of Jiangdong.

The next morning, all of Jiangdong had practically exploded.

All the corporate bosses in Jingzhou, Haozhou, Fenghai and the rest of the fifteen smaller cities of Jiangdong as well as Jianghai and Nanquan, the sub-capital cities of Jiangdong, had all received an invitation card from Yunzhou.

"Many things have been renewed and the world has gone through astonishing changes. Mr Chu cordially invites all the esteemed people of Jiangdong to gather within Haiyuan Restaurant, Yunzhou City, on the 1 st of January for the Feast of Sea and Sky. We sincerely hope to see everyone there!"

This invitation was like a huge rock dropping into the sea, causing a tsunami to rise in Jiangdong.

In Jianghai.

Within the Chen house.

All was silent in the room.

Chen Ao looked at the invitation in front of him again and again. The graveness and worry on his face only intensified.

"Uncle Ao, I really can't take this lying down at all! Why is it Yunzhou? Why is

Master Li Er the one hosting it? Jianghai is the largest city in Jiangdong, and you are the king of Jiangdong. For the past ten years, you have been the one hosting the Feast of the Sea and Sky in Jiangdong every year. Yunzhou is just a tiny third tier city and Li Er himself is of lowly birth as well. How could he be worthy of hosting a dinner like that? Even if Mr Chu wants it organized, it should be left to you. He's obviously looking down on you!" These angry words were coming from Chen Ao's nephew, Chen Tian-Jiao.

Chen Ao remained expressionless as his nephew ranted. After a long time, he finally replied, "Tian-Jiao, go and make preparations."

"This is the first time Mr Chu is hosting such a prestigious dinner after he became our leader. So we ought to prepare a big gift for him." What?!

"Uncle Ao, are you seriously going? Can't you see that Mr Chu is doing this to support Li Er and whittling down your influence in Jiangdong? If I were you, I would pretend to be sick and refuse to go in protest. Mr Chu may be strong, but we shouldn't let him push us around like this."

"Enough!" Chen Ao slammed the table and shouted to cut Chen Tian-Jiao off.

"Mr Chu is now the leader of Jiangdong and I am grateful to him for all that he has done. We will just go with whoever Mr Chu chooses as the host of this dinner. How can we go against him? Do as I said earlier. Also, tell the Li family that I will be there on New Year's Day."

"As for whatever you said just now, you'd better not say such things ever again. Otherwise, nobody can save you, not even myself."

As the saying goes, being by a king's side was like being by a tiger's side.

Even though Chen Ao wasn't one of Ye Fan's dragons and didn't fully understand the extent of what Ye Fan was capable of, whatever he saw told him that this man was much more than what he seemed. Chen Ao knew deep inside that even though Ye Fan seemed very ordinary, he was probably holding onto a terrifying amount of power and influence.

So even if he was indignant, there was no way he could fight back and he could only choose to obey.

At the Lei house in Jingzhou.

When Lei San received the invitation, he was also slightly surprised.

"Yunzhou? 1 st January? Feast of the Sea and Sky? Looks like Jiangdong isn't going to remain calm anymore," said Lei San as he shook his head and laughed quietly.

He called his secretary over and asked, "Yang, what's my schedule like on 1 st January?"

The secretary opened the schedule and replied respectfully, "At 9AM, you have a meeting with the VP of Wanda Group. At noon, you are going for a party hosted by the mayor of Jingzhou. In the afternoon, the company is having a shareholders and directors meeting to talk about the plans for the new year ahead. At night, you are watching a performance at Jingzhou Expo with Mrs Lei."

After hearing his secretary's report, Lei San waved his hands. "Turn everything down for me."

Wha-?

"Turn...turn everything down? Mr Lei, even the party hosted by the mayor?" The secretary's eyes were wide.
