A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 737 An Elegant Woman

"Mr Fang, I have a sure-win business proposition for you. Are you interested?" asked Ye Jian softly after he pulled Mr Fang somewhere private.

"Oh? What business?" asked the restaurant owner, sounding interested in the business prospect.

Ye Jian didn't tell him right away. Instead, he lit a cigarette and turned back to look. Then after he was sure no one was around, he told the restaurant owner. "Erm..." said the restaurant owner worriedly, "Young Master Ye, are you sure?

I will offend him by doing this."

Ye Jian scoffed and laughed, "He's just a live-in husband. What's there to be afraid of? Moreover, I'll protect you if anything happens. Cut the banter. Are you in or out?"

Ye Jian took out a stack of money and flung it onto the table as he spoke.

The restaurant owner smiled and agreed.

"But Young Master Ye, are you sure he's just a live-in husband? Are you absolutely sure? If I end up offending a big shot, then it won't be worth it," asked the restaurant owner again. He was worldly-wise and wasn't entirely eager about making a quick buck.

Ye Jian laughed and replied, "Don't worry. I'm cousins with him, so I know what he's made of. If he were a big shot, I wouldn't want to do it to him, right?"

Ye Jian returned to the restaurant after having a quick chat with the restaurant owner.

After Ye Jian got seated, he even glanced at Jiang Yu-Lang smugly. He seemed to be telling Jiang Yu-Lang to expect some entertainment.

Very quickly, the steamboat was sent over. The waitress adjusted the heat, and the soup started boiling before long.

"Yu-Yan, don't just look. Start cooking!" said Ye Jian enthusiastically as they chatted over lunch.

However, Ye Yu-Yan remained silent. She glanced at Ye Fan from time to time and wanted to muster the courage to make conversation with Ye Fan, but didn't know what to say.

Ye Fan only ate the steamboat on his own and helped Lu Wen-Jing to take food occasionally.

Other than Lu Wen-Jing, Ye Fan didn't give anyone else a hoot at all.

His cool attitude certainly displeased Jiang Yu-Lang, Jiang Yu-Qing, and Ye Jian.

"He's just a live-in husband. How dare he act aloof? I don't know where he finds the confidence to act like this!" Jiang Yu-Lang and the others rolled their eyes at Ye Fan and sneered in their hearts. They were filled with contempt for Ye Fan.

There was suddenly a commotion at the restaurant door.

"Excuse me, please give way."

Amid the commotion, a bunch of people walked in like rock stars surrounded by bodyguards.

Ye Jian and the others turned to glance towards the excitement.

The group of people who had just entered felt extraordinary.

Confidence and prestige emanated from their faces.

A young woman dressed in a white chiffon dress and a high-end white trench coat walked ahead of them. Her long wine red hair hung casually over her shoulders while she wore a pair of sexy high heel shoes. Elegance and grace radiated from the young woman.

Her innate elegant aura made others bow to her instinctively.

However, people were more spellbound by her exquisite features in comparison to her aura.

Even Ye Jian and Jiang Yu-Lang were instantly left spellbound by her good looks.

"Wow, what a pretty woman. Even our campus belle can't compare to her! She's ravishing. Jian, since when was there anyone as pretty as her in Jingzhou?" asked Jiang Yu-Lang at a loss. The patrons around them were all shocked by the woman's beauty and sighed nonstop.

"Just look at the bodyguards and her poise. Is she some celebrity?"

Many people couldn't help commenting excitedly.

Despite Ye Fan's usual calmness, something cracked in him.

"What brings her here?" asked Ye Fan in surprise after they walked past him.

The restaurant owner let them to the largest table at the center of the restaurant.

Night nine Steamboat Restaurant wasn't a large establishment and was only considered a steamboat specialty restaurant, so there weren't any private rooms. All their patrons all ate in the same hall. Although the restaurant was a lot noisier, it was particularly lively.

The steamboat was genuinely good, so many rich and powerful people often dined here.

The people in the restaurant kept looking over after they took their seats because of the stunning lady sitting with them.

Many people glanced over curiously from time to time.

"Oh my. Who are these people anyway? Why do they need so many bodyguards when they are out for lunch? The restaurant owner even went over to toast them personally. I was just wondering why the largest table at the center of the restaurant wasn't occupied. It seems the restaurant was reserving it for them!" said Jiang Yu-Lang as he sighed in shock.

Jiang Yu-Lang and Ye Jian were naturally curious.

Ye Jian turned to wave and say to a young woman at the counter, "Yaoyao, come over here."

"Hi, Young Master Ye. I was about to make a toast to you," replied the mesmerizing young woman. Her lovely fragrance wafted over as she walked over with a wine pot.

"Really? I thought you were so busy making money that you forgot about your old friend," said Ye Jian as he smiled and shook his head, "Oh yes, Yu-Lang. Allow me to introduce you. This is Fang Yao-Yao. She's the young and pretty daughter of the steamboat restaurant owner and a walking advert for the restaurant. If Mr Fang didn't have such a lovely daughter, the steamboat restaurant wouldn't have ended up so popular."

Ye Jian smiled as he told Jiang Yu-Lang and the others.

But it was no lie since Ye Jian first visited the steamboat restaurant because he

heard about Fang Yao-Yao's beauty.

"Enough. I'll stop teasing you. I have a question. Who are those people sitting over there? Since they made such a huge entrance, they must be important people, right?" asked Ye Jian softly after chatting with her for a while.

Fang Yao-Yao nodded and said, "That goes without saying. I heard that the lady sitting at the main seat hails from an influential family from Jiangdong. Not only is she the daughter of a powerful man, but she also manages a company worth billions! She is probably in Jingzhou to make investments. Even the top brass of the city administration is entertaining her personally! The middle-aged man on the left is Jingzhou's deputy mayor."

What?

Even the city's deputy mayor came personally?

Heavens, who were these folks?

Ye Jian and the others were left

dumbstruck.
