A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 684 No Matter What You Experience in Life, Keep...

"Also, don't you know how you, your little brother, and your family got everything you have now? The Lei family and I gave it to you! But you want me to forsake my clan's survival to save that animal? Do you think I would do that? You don't have to keep forcing my hand. If you want to get divorced, then go ahead. No matter how powerful my clan is, I can't afford to marry a woman who only cares about scooping out her useless brother all the time. If you want to kill yourself, be my guest. Just don't kill yourself in the Lei residence," said Lei San as his shouting echoed through the halls.

Lei San was completely furious now.

He didn't think that this idiotic wife of his would still want to save her little brother.

She was absolutely hopeless!

"Mum, get up," said Lei Ao-Ting as he broke his silence and walked over to help his mother up gently.

Sun Li held onto Lei Ao-Ting as though he were her last hope as she trembled and said, "Ao-Ting, talk to your father and tell him not to kill your uncle. He's your uncle! He can get jailed, but he can't get executed! He's my mother's only son. If he died, she wouldn't be able to take it!"

Lei Ao-Ting shook his head and sighed when he saw his mother like this.

"Mum, if it was anyone else Uncle Jian-Hao offended, he might still stand a chance to live, but he provoked Mr Chu this time. If he doesn't die, then Dad and the Lei family will perish instead. Mum, you only care about Uncle Jian-Hao and Grandma, but have you thought about Dad and the Lei family? Dad isn't a god, and the Lei family certainly can't do as it pleases. Even the Lei family has to bow to Mr Chu, so just accept the situation," said Lei Ao-Ting slowly before he left to go back to his room.

This time, even he thought his mother had crossed the line.

Sun Jian-Hao was eventually brought to justice and sentenced to death by the court.

Countless Jingzhou residents applauded when they heard the news.

"Awesome!"

"He finally got his just deserts!"

"Fantastic, he got his comeuppance!"

"Haha!"

Many people were overjoyed.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Ye Fan prepared to leave after he sent Lu Wen-Jing home.

After all, Lu Wen-Jing's birthday was over, and Ye Fan completed his wife's mission, so he had no reason to stay.

But Lu Wen-Jing refused to let Ye Fan leave. She begged Ye Fan to stay one more night with tears in her eyes.

"Fan, since Jingjing keeps asking, why don't you stay for one more night? Also, it's getting late. Even if you rush to the bus station, you won't make it in time for the last coach," persuaded Qiu Huan. Of course, she was happy for Ye Fan to spend one more night here.

Ye Fan was an extraordinary man, so the closer her daughter was to him, the happier Qiu Huan was.

Ye Fan instantly shook his head helplessly as he looked at the girl cry and said, "Alright, alright, Jingjing, stop crying. I will stay one more night like you asked."

"Fan, really? Heehee! I just knew it! You are the best!" said Lu Wen-Jing as she broke into a smile the moment she heard Ye Fan agree.

Her rapid mood swings left Ye Fan suspecting whether she was only pretending to cry.

"Alright now, you two go ahead and have fun, I'll go cook," said Qiu Huan with a smile.

Lu Wen-Jing got Ye Fan to watch TV with

her.

After dinner, Zeng Hai-Tao and Lu Hong came over.

This time, they came with their arms full of Maotai and branded cigarettes. Of course, these were for Ye Fan.

These gifts were mean to both apologize to and thank him.

They wanted to thank Ye Fan for helping them, and Lu Hong also wanted to apologize for the things she did to him.

But Ye Fan behaved nonchalantly towards them.

Ye Fan despised the likes of them.

They used to despise Ye Fan, but now that they found out how incredible he was, they had come over to fawn over him.

They were no different from fools who just followed wherever the wind took them.

Since they were never kind to him before, why start now?

So Ye Fan turned down the gifts.

"But don't worry. On account of Jingjing, I won't take it to heart. Since we barely know each other, there's no need to maintain a close relationship from now on."

Ye Fan's words seemed to be a death sentence on Lu Hong and Zeng Hai-Tao.

Lu Hong and Zeng Hai-Tao's plans to gain his support instantly dissipated.

Lu Hong and Zeng Hai-Tao didn't have the cheek to linger. They quickly left after leaving the gifts behind.

Lu Hong finally realized the doors to gain Ye Fan's support would be forever closed to her once she had missed it.

It was such great fortune for her to live under one roof with a man whom even the likes of Lei San revered.

Unfortunately, Lu Hong didn't treasure it

and even offended Ye Fan.

Lu Hong was filled with remorse thinking about it and regretted it deeply.

"Fan, why did Hong leave before even having dinner with us?" asked Lu Wending. It was normal for her not to understand how the world worked.

She only knew how to love those who mattered to her unconditionally.

Without the slightest vanity or worldliness.

A child's world was so simple.

Ye Fan didn't reply. He only touched Lu Wen-Jing's cute nose indulgently.

"Jingjing, promise me that no matter what happens, you will always be innocent and pure. No matter what you experience in life, I want you to remember this!" said Ye Fan softly. No one knew what was going through his heart.

Qiu Huan cooked a lot of food for dinner.

But they didn't eat right away and waited for Lu Ming-Ze to come home.

Lu Ming-Ze told Qiu Huan in the morning that he would be back for dinner tonight.

However, there was no sign of him after they waited for a long time.

So Qiu Huan called him worriedly to ask.

But Ye Fan noticed that Qiu Huan's face turned pale in a second after talking on the phone with him.

"Auntie Huan, what's wrong?" asked Ye Fan quizzically.

Qiu Huan forced a smile as she replied, "It's fine. It's just work. He can handle it. Fan, let's eat and stop waiting for him."

Qiu Huan didn't speak further, so Ye Fan didn't probe.

After all, it was their family matter, so it was inconvenient for an outsider like Ye Fan to ask.

But Ye Fan could sense that Qiu Huan seemed to have a lot of things on her mind after that phone call.
