A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 592 Not a Good Match
"Are you saying that this jade pendant was secretly removed from a cave?" Ye Fan was still within Treasure Trove and asking another man this question. This man was the original owner of the jade pendant.
"That's right! Everything I said earlier is the truth!" replied the man fearfully.
After getting the jade back from Zheng He, Ye Fan started asking about the origins of this jade pendant.
After some questions, he finally traced it back to this man named Wang Wu.
So this jade had been secretly removed from a cave in the suburbs of Yunzhou.
After polishing it and turning it into a design, he then sold it to Treasure Trove.
"Alright, you can leave." Ye Fan waved his hand and let Wang Wu go after he found out where this piece of jade had come from.
"Mr Chu, are you sure you want to go down personally to have a look? Do you want me to send some subordinates down instead?" asked Li Xue-Qi respectfully next to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head. "No need, I can go down personally."
"But Wang Wu said that the mountain with this cave has been bought over by the Liang family and the surrounding area has been cordoned off. Do you know this Liang family? Introduce me to them and it's enough for the Liang family to bring me there," said Ye Fan as he looked at her.
Li Xue-Qi thought about it, then replied, "Sure, Mr Chu, I will get this settled for you. As for the misunderstanding earlier..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell your brother about what happened today," replied Ye Fan quietly.
"Heehee, thank you, Mr Chu!" Li Xue-Qi was instantly overjoyed and felt like a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Even though Ye Fan let this matter go, Li Xue-Qi knew that he had only done so on account of her elder brother.
If her brother found out about what happened today, Li Xue-Qi was certain that he would break her legs for sure.
Now that Ye Fan had promised not to tell Li Er, Li Xue-Qi was naturally glad inside.
Li Xue-Qi then left with her men.
Ye Fan took the piece of jade and was about to leave too.
A number of luxury cars came driving over.
After the car doors opened, Ye Fan saw Su Yuan-Shan and a large group of men come along with him.
"Ye Fan, are you alright? Did they make trouble for you?" asked Su Yuan-Shan anxiously when he saw Ye Fan.
Su Qian and Su Yang had both come along as well.
Ye Fan was her best friend's husband, so if something happened while he was out with her father, then Su Qian found it hard to explain things to Qiu Mu-Cheng.
Ye Fan smiled. "No problem, Uncle Su. They can't do anything about me."
"Alright, alright, as long as you're fine. But you know, one must learn how to endure in certain situations. The Li family is very powerful, so even if we have to suffer some humiliation, we must not offend people we cannot afford to." Su Yuan-Shan thought that Ye Fan must have managed to get away because he eventually apologized to Zheng He.
"By the way, where's Mr Zheng?" asked Su Yuan-Shan.
"After I beat him up, he left," said Ye Fan nonchalantly.
Wait, what?
"What did you say? You beat him again?" Su Yuan-Shan's eyes were going to fall out of his head soon from fright.
"Ye Fan, do you genuinely not know how powerful the Li family is or are you faking it? The head of the Li family, Li Er, is a corporate giant in Yunzhou. Even the mayor is extra polite to him. You're a nobody and you actually beat one of his so badly that he ran away? Have you ever considered the consequences?" Su Yuan-Shan's face was livid.
Su Qian's mouth was also open wide from shock.
"Ye Fan, you seriously beat up someone from the Li family? Are you nuts? Did you think that just because you're strong, you can whatever you want in Yunzhou? You're really going to get Mu-Cheng into trouble someday! Hurry up and buy something, then go to the Li house to apologize and beg for their forgiveness!"
She had heard from her father about how Ye Fan had run into a conflict with the Li family, so Su Qian was worried that this young and stupid Ye Fan would really beat the other guy up.
But the thing she had been most worried about happened anyway.
"It's just the Li family, there's no need to worry about it. Besides, if anybody needs to apologize, it's the Li family who needs to apologize. They have no right to get me to apologize to them," Ye Fan continued to smile faintly.
Su Yuan-Shan and the rest were stunned when they heard what Ye Fan said.
Their scalps felt numb from being too frightened.
"Ye Fan, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you tired of living?! If the Li family were here, these words alone could get you killed on the spot." Su Yuan-Shan was so frightened that his entire body was trembling.
"Exactly, Ye Fan. It's not the time to let your pride get in the way of things. Go get prepared, we'll go to the Li house to apologize tonight," chimed in Su Yang.
But Ye Fan remained calm.
"You guys don't have to bother about this matter anymore. Is there anything else? If not, I'll head home first."
Ye Fan then turned and left.
"Sigh... The only problem with this Ye Fan is that he's too proud. Or rather, he's a little too audacious. Dad, such a man is not a good match for Su Qian," sighed Su Yang as he shook his head.
Su Yuan-Shan didn't say anything but he was disappointed in Ye Fan.
He didn't expect Ye Fan to still be unable to see the bigger picture clearly.
He knew a few moves and became so audacious that he didn't even have any regard for the Li family.
This was as good as sending himself to die.
"Let's go, we should head home too," said Su Yuan-Shan quietly. Then he got into the car and they all went home.
On the way home, Ye Fan continued to look at the jade in his hand as he walked.
The jade was slightly warm and it seemed to contain a strange sort of energy.
Ye Fan was going to try and absorb the energy inside this piece of jade after getting home.
He was going to see if it would help with his cultivation process of Invoking the Celestial Cloud.
"I hope you won't disappoint me," thought Ye Fan to himself.
But just when Ye Fan was about to reach home, a car suddenly stopped in front of him and blocked his way.
"Ye Fan, I've been waiting for you for a long time now. Xian would like to invite you to his boxing gym for a cup of tea and to get to know each other better. Do you dare to go?" Situ Feng emerged from the car, and a pair of twin sisters followed behind him.
This pair of twins didn't just have identical faces. They were both in the same pale red long dress and silver high heels.
Their faces were pretty and had excellent figures.
"So, this is Ye Fan? He's obviously a pauper and reeks of the countryside, but he dared to offend Xian? He must be really tired of living," said the older sister, Xia Yue. Her pretty eyes looked at Ye Fan with nothing but disdain and contempt.
"Sis, Grandpa said before that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I think..."
"Shut up! It's not your place to speak!" Xia Yue interrupted her younger sister, Xia Xue.
Then Xia Yue looked back at Ye Fan and sneered, "Say something, don't stand there and pretend you're deaf and mute. My Xian wants you at the boxing gym, so come along with us now!"
