A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 658 Be A Calm Person

"Mr Chu, that's really not advisable. The matriarch of the Meng family is the younger sister of the head of a powerful family in Yanjing. Back when Zhao Wu-Ji was practically invincible, he didn't dare to touch them either. This Meng family is like a beehive, so if you stab it, it's going to cause an endless string of troubles."

The three men in the room were all horrified at Ye Fan's words.

They were worried, so they all tried to advise Ye Fan against this.

"That's right, Mr Chu. This Meng family didn't make a good decision, but I think we could just give them a small warning first. That would be better than fighting them to the bitter end. After all, if the Meng family becomes desperate, I think we might suffer quite badly," said Chen Ao with a grim expression on his face.

Even though it was true that the Meng family's powerful backer in Yanjing might not win them in Jiangdong, the three of them still felt that going up against the Meng family might result in them killing off 1,000 enemy soldiers while losing 800 of their own.

Ye Fan had just become the king of Jiangdong and his followers were not stable yet, so his foundations in Jiangdong were strong. It didn't seem like a good move to do something so drastic at this juncture. So the three of them tried their best to persuade Ye Fan against doing this.

But Ye Fan just shook his head. "A small warning? I don't have that sort of time. I will leave Yunzhou tomorrow. So within these two days, I must resolve this time bomb! After the battle at Mount Tai, all of Jiangdong acknowledged me as their leader. Since he refuses to follow me, then the Meng family can forget about staying here!"

BOOM...

Ye Fan's words were firm and loud, like the falling of rocks and gold onto the floor.

Ye Fan's authoritative aura filled the entire

place.

The three of them felt their hearts trembled and didn't dare to speak anymore.

They looked even more reverently and fearfully at Ye Fan.

There were days when the three of them wondered if this young man in front of them was seriously only in his twenties.

They probably only had a fraction of the boldness and motivation that Ye Fan had.

After Ye Fan had made this decision, he dismissed the three of them to carry out his instructions.

"Is there something else?" asked Ye Fan when he realized that none of them had budged.

Chen Ao and Lei San just smiled without saying anything while Li Er looked mournfully towards Ye Fan.

"Mr Chu, it's nothing really - it's about my

son."

Li Er turned and looked outside the room as he bellowed, "You little bastard! Get in here now! How dare you offend Mr Chu!

I'm going to break your bloody legs!"

Li Zi-Yang had been kneeling outside all this while. When his father yelled for him, he quickly started crawling into the room with great fear in his heart.

The other person who crawled in with him was the son of Ma Fei, Ma Ming-Bo.

The two of them finally realized who on earth they had actually offended.

Ma Ming-Bo in particular, was so scared after finding out that Ye Fan was Mr Chu that he felt like his soul nearly left his body.

Now he knew why Xu Chang-Qing had been so respectful towards Ye Fan on Mount Yunyang.

And he also realized that he had been attempting to snatch Mr Chu's woman too.

Ma Ming-Bo was filled with horror and his heart nearly despaired.

He knelt before Ye Fan and couldn't stop apologizing and begging for mercy.

"Mr Chu, I...I was wrong. I was blind and offended you! Mr Chu, I hope you can be magnanimous and let me off this once. I really didn't mean to do this. I promise I will never covet Su Qian after this," said Ma Ming-Bo in a pitiful sounding voice. His voice was even trembling.

Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed. "You were in the wrong, but you still don't know where you went wrong? Did you think someone like the daughter of the Su family can catch my attention?" "Huh?" Ma Ming-Bo was stunned for a moment and became confused. "Isn't she...isn't she your girlfriend?"

"Of course not!" Ye Fan immediately refuted this and his tone of voice was even firmer.

I went for dinner with the Su family because I wanted to return Su Yuan-Shan a favor. Su Qian and I are just acquaintances and we're not related in any way. I'm already married and Qiu Mu-Cheng is my wife."

What?

"Your...your wife...is...Qiu Mu-Cheng?"

Ma Ming-Bo was even more shocked by this and his eyes were huge. He could hardly believe it.

He never thought that Mr Chu would already be married.

And on top of that, Su Qian's best friend turned out to be Mr Chu's wife.

Ma Ming-Bo was suddenly feeling really glad.

He was so glad that he hadn't done anything out of line with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Otherwise, he might still die even if he had nine lives to spare.

But at the same time, it wasn't as if Ma Ming-Bo didn't have any designs on Qiu Mu-Cheng at all.

His original plan was to get together officially with Su Qian, then get together with Qiu Mu-Cheng behind her back to become his lover.

After all, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't lose to Su Qian in terms of figure and looks.

The only thing she lost to Su Qian in was her family background.

Anybody would like such a woman.

But after finding out who Qiu Mu-Cheng really was, Ma Ming-Bo broke into a cold sweat.

After Ma Ming-Bo was done apologizing, Li Zi-Yang pleaded profusely with Ye Fan as well.

On account of their fathers, Ye Fan didn't make things too difficult for them.

He just gave them a cold reminder, "Next time, look carefully before you do anything. Especially you, Li Zi-Yang. I remember you saying that your dad was the most powerful person in Yunzhou. Who do you think is the most powerful now?"

Li Er almost went into a frenzy when he heard Ye Fan's teasing words.

In his horror, Li Er slapped Li Zi-Yang across the face again. "You little bastard! Are you trying to get your own father killed?! If you spout such nonsense again, I'll slap your mouth to death! How dare you simply say such things! How did I get a stupid son like you? I'm going to die someday because of your stupidity!"

Li Er was both horrified and infuriated.

Saying that he was the most powerful in front of Mr Chu was definitely disrespecting Mr Chu.

In the worst case scenario, they might all die.

Of course Li Er was scared.

But Ye Fan just continued shaking his head as he laughed, "It's alright, I won't punish you guys this time round. But I'll just leave you with one word of advice. In the future, be calm, be kind and be someone who always smiles. Don't always try to show off or try to look cool."

Ye Fan's words echoed through the room.

Li Zi-Yang and Ma Ming-Bo nodded and didn't dare to say anything at all.

Chen Ao's eyelids twitched as he thought to himself, "But Mr Chu sure knows how to act cool."
