A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 751 A Melodramatic Plot

Old Master Ye made a prompt decision before Chen Nan had the chance to speak.

Just as he thought, Chen Nan had fallen in love with his grandson at first sight.

Chen Nan's face blushed even harder, and she was so anxious that her heart almost leapt out.

She felt somewhat guilty and even fearful and hesitant.

But Chen Nan's longing for love gave her great strength.

"You stupid boy! What are you standing around for? Hurry up and pour your future wife some wine!" said Old Master Ye when he saw Ye Jian standing around dumbfounded. He instantly stomped his foot angrily.

Ye Ya's wife was overjoyed and said, "That's right. Quit standing around and pour your wife-to-be some wine."

Ye Jian's mother's face was filled with joy. Things had gone surprisingly smoothly for her today.

Chen Nan was really going to be their daughter-in-law.

Her son was marrying someone as gorgeous as her. He was bound to be the envy of others in the future.

The more Ye Ya's wife thought about it, she wished Chen Nan could just marry her son tonight.

Even they were beside themselves with joy, much less Ye Jian.

Ye Jian felt everything happened too unexpectedly, so his hand kept trembling as he poured wine.

"Nannan, thanks for giving me the chance to take care of you. I, Ye Jian, will never disappoint you!" said Ye Jian as he patted his chest. He looked absolutely smug and even glanced at Ye Fan to brag.

But Chen Nan was stunned.

She stared hard at Ye Jian before her.

How...how could it be him?

Chen Nan finally realized she misunderstood.

In the end, it was wishful thinking on her part.

At the thought, Chen Nan shook her head and laughed. All her hesitation dissipated instantly.

"Nannan, want a drink? Don't you drink? Then again, it's normal for girls to be bad at drinking. Then why don't you drink tea instead," asked Old Master Ye when she saw Chen Nan's hesitance. He thought she was a bad drinker and told Ye Jian to give her tea instead.

But Chen Nan shook her head and suddenly stood up. Then she bowed deeply at Old Master Ye.

"Nannan, what are you doing?" asked Old Master Ye in surprise.

The others were puzzled too.

But Chen Nan said apologetically, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I think I didn't make myself clear enough earlier. I've already found someone. The man I love is Fan."

Chen Nan smiled as she spoke calmly in her lovely voice.

Her voice sounded as melodious as a nightingale.

And she didn't try to hide and said it in front of everyone honestly.

But Chen Nan's words were like a huge rock dropping into the ocean that caused a huge tsunami to rise.

"Do you...you like Ye Fan?" said Old Master Ye dumbstruck.

Ye Xi-Mei was filled with shock too.

Ye Ya's wife felt as though she was struck by lightning. Her eyes nearly popped from their sockets.

Ye Jian, Jiang Yu-Lang, and Jiang Yu-Qing, who were from the same generation as Ye

Fan, found it unbelievable.

Ye Jian and Jiang Yu-Lang felt especially envious and hated Ye Fan.

They didn't think that the man whom Chen Nan loved was the Ye family's good-for-nothing!

Jiang Yu-Qing started to scrutinize her cousin carefully for the first time.

She was truly curious how Ye Fan managed to charm a woman like Chen Nan.

"Miss Chen, have you fallen for him? You must be joking, right? My nephew is completely useless. Everything about him is beneath you. More importantly, he's married and is a live-in husband, so there's no future for you two," said Ye Tian loudly.

He was beside himself with shock as though he had witnessed something outrageous.

"That's right. Nannan, did you make some mistake? Ye Fan isn't fit to marry you. How can there be anything worth loving about Ye Fan? My son is so dignified and driven. He has excellent business acumen. One day he'll become a rich tycoon and is a million times better than Ye Fan. My son is clearly a better match for you..." persuaded Ye Ya's wife anxiously.

But before she finished her sentence, Chen Nan looked like a cat who's cat whose tail got stepped on. She instantly retorted angrily, "Shut up! Stop ridiculing Fan! in my heart. Fan is an indomitable man and a fearless hero. You lot combined can't compare to a sliver of his glory!"

Chen Nan spoke furiously in a resounding and powerful tone. Her stern words pierced into everyone's heart like a sword.

In an instant, the room fell completely silent.

Ye Tian and the others speechlessly looked at each other in indignance.

Even Old Master Ye was at a loss for words.

He didn't expect Ye Fan to mean so much to this young lady.

Since there was no way for the lunch to wrap up calmly, Ye Fan stood up and said, "Grandpa, we're done. Nannan and I will take our leave."

"Okay...okay. Go on then," replied Old Master Ye as he nodded with a forced smile on his face.

Then Ye Fan walked over to Chen Nan and smiled helplessly and said, "Enough. Let me see you off."

Everyone watched as the two walked off slowly.

After a long time, Ye Tian, Ye Ya, and the others still found it mindboggling.

"A girl from a rich and powerful family fell for a live-in husband? That's such a melodramatic plot," sighed Ye Xi-Lan.

There was fine weather in the town.

Ye Fan stuck his hands in his pant pockets as he walked slowly under the sunlight.

This sound of sand could be heard with each step he took.

Behind him, Chen Nan followed quietly without daring to say a word like a child who had committed a mistake.

After a long time, Chen Nan finally mustered the courage to speak.

"Fan, I'm sorry. I was unable to control my temper and offended your elders. I was reckless," apologized Chen Nan with her head lowered.

Ye Fan smiled casually and replied, "Nannan, why do you apologize? I ought to be thankful for the things you said. The only person who defended me at the table was you. Sometimes I think that those so- called relatives can't compare to an outsider."

Chen Nan's low spirits instantly lifted like the storm clouds had parted to reveal the sun when she heard Ye Fan.

Then she chuckled and said, "Hmph. That goes without saying. No one is allowed to belittle you. Oh yes. Fan, Did you get angry when I said I liked you? I had no choice but to use you as an excuse. If Mu- Cheng gets wind of this, you must explain things to her. I don't want to put any stress on your relationship."
