A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 621 Ye Fan's Fury

Ye Fan ended up going over to see Old Mrs Su.

It was a lovely night with the moon glowing softly in the courtyard.

A slightly cold night breeze blew gently.

Old Mrs Su was standing by a small fish pond feeding the fish when Ye Fan arrived.

Old Mrs Su seemed to have caught Ye Fan's footsteps approaching while she fed the fish, so she said softly, "You're here."

Ye Fan didn't detect any emotion in her soft, calm voice.

She just seemed like any elderly person as she chatted casually with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn't say much. He merely nodded and acknowledged her before standing there to look into the fishpond too. Gold carp splashed around happily in the pond and made ripples form on its surface while the moon reflected on it.

Old Mrs Su ignored him, but Ye Fan didn't take the initiative to break the silence.

It seemed somewhat rude, but so what?

Since Old Mrs Su was unrelated to him, there was no sense for Ye Fan to lower himself and fawn over her.

After a while, Old Mrs Su kept feeding the fish as though there was nothing else on her mind, so Ye Fan attempted to leave.

He didn't have time to waste here.

But Ye Fan's actions undoubtedly made Old Mrs Su frown.

Old Mrs Su was highly respected in the Su family, so she was accustomed to people asking after her and ingratiating themselves.

She didn't expect this young man before her to have such arrogance.

He completely ignored her when she didn't speak to him.

So Old Mrs Su undoubtedly found Ye Fan arrogant and disrespectful.

Despite her displeasure, Old Mrs Su didn't show it.

Just as Ye Fan prepared to leave, the old lady suddenly broke the silence.

"See that red fish over there? Isn't it pretty?" asked Old Mrs Su eventually.

She didn't turn back to look at Ye Fan when she spoke and kept her back facing him.

So it sounded as though she was talking to herself.

Ye Fan looked into the pond as well out of courtesy. Sure enough, he spotted an unusual looking ornamental fish with red, white, and yellow stripes, which looked exquisite. "Yes, it's pretty," replied Ye Fan casually.

"Do you know what fish it is?" asked Old Mrs Su again. She seemed certain that Ye Fan was clueless, so she continued without waiting for his reply, "It's called a peppermint angelfish and also known as the gentleman fairy fish. The red, white, and yellow stripes make it look like a fairy. It's a rare fish, and barely any get caught each year. This is probably the only one in Yunzhou. Since you are neither rich nor powerful and come from a poor background, it's normal that you don't know."

Ye Fan frowned when he heard her. He sat on a stone stool without replying.

He wanted to find out what Old Mrs Su could want from him.

But shortly after Ye Fan sat down, Old Mrs Su laughed softly and asked again, "Do you know what the stone stool you're sitting on is made of? It's top jade from Yunnan! Only 50 kilograms are produced each year. As far as I know, only Chen Ao from Jiangdong, Master Lei from Jingzhou, and Master Li Er from Yunzhou have this jade at home. We only managed to buy this one by taking the backdoor. Even among the elite, this jade is rare, so it is even rarer among the commoners."

Old Mrs Su laughed as she spoke.

But Ye Fan frowned even harder.

He suddenly got up from the expensive stone stool she mentioned and asked deeply, "Did you ask me over just to say this?"

Old Mrs Su shook her head and sighed, "You are a man of lowly birth, so you are inexperienced and have a lousy temperament. I have already said so much. Do you still not know what I'm driving at? Don't you understand the distance that lays between you and my granddaughter, Qianqian?"

Old Mrs Su's breathing quickened, and she was clearly agitated and displeased.

"The Su family is an influential family. All the treasures you have seen in your life are simply common daily objects in the household. Qianqian even grew up playing around this rare Yunnan jade, which you have never heard of. Despite the rarity of this peppermint angelfish, Qianqian is already sick of it. Regardless of experience, knowledge, and habits, the gulf between you and Qianqian spans as far as heaven and earth."

"We are from different worlds, so I hope you can see the truth and not overestimate yourself. Don't covet what you can't get. The story of the cowherd and the weaver exists only in legends. Otherwise, you will end up hurting both you and Qianqian! Break up with her after this and stop harassing my granddaughter. You and Qianqian are ill-suited. She deserves a better man," said Old Mrs Su with a slightly cold voice which was intensely contemptuous and arrogant.

She sounded so lofty that even the fish in the pond got so terrified that they swam to the bottom of the pond.

Ye Fan instantly laughed as he said, "Someone better? It seems Old Mrs Su is talking about Ma Ming-Bo from the Ma family."

"Isn't it true?" said Old Mrs Su as she frowned even more deeply, "In terms of knowledge, Ming-Bo is from a rich and powerful family, so his knowledge and refinement is comparable to Qianqian's. In terms of talent, he is outstanding even at such a young age. He can stand on his own two feet and help manage billions in assets when he is only 30 years old. In terms of finances, he spent a few hundred million on a villa in Wangyun Villa and lives at the foot of Mount Yunding, and is neighbors with Mr Chu. But what about you? You are a poor farmer who comes from a humble family. You are an absolute commoner with no talent. What can you offer Qianqian? How can you compare with Ming-Bo?"

Old Mrs Su was truly infuriated.

She didn't think that Ye Fan would still refuse to give up, so she even compared him to Ma Ming-Bo.

How could a poor country like Ye Fan compare with Ma Ming-Bo?

How could he compare?

He was asking for insult and would only be made a laughingstock.

"Ha...Haha!" laughed Ye Fan suddenly when Old Mrs Su got angry.

His resounding laughter reverberated through the halls. It was as though he had heard the funniest joke ever.

"What are you laughing about? What right do you have to laugh?" said Old Mrs Su even more angrily. Ye Fan's laughter made her feel as though he found her a joke.

"What am I laughing about? I am laughing at your ignorance, fearlessness, and blindness! No matter what you say, you are simply self-righteous! You have no clue that I'm uninterested in your so-called ravishing granddaughter, Su Qian! You have no clue that the man you so favor, Ma Ming-Bo, is nothing but an ant to me! You have no idea who on earth is standing before you."
