A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 753 You Can't Fool Around

The man was only an old butler working for the Chen family, so Ye Fan didn't put him in a spot.

Instead, he merely said a few things to him and let him go.

"Bye, Fan," said Chen Nan as she waved at Ye Fan from the car while the car engine started.

Ye Fan stood at the crossing with a smile on his face and saw Chen Nan off.

"Miss, am...am I in trouble? Will I survive it at this age?" asked the butler nervously. The fear continued to linger over him on the way back.

The old man was naturally terrified about offending a big shot.

If Ye Fan had punished him earlier, he might have felt better.

But Ye Fan didn't come after him for offending him. This undoubtedly made the butler nervous. He thought Ye Fan was going to come after him later.

He was truly worried that Ye Fan would get Chen Ao to punish him when he got back to Jianghai.

"Humph. You deserve it! Who told you to say such things and offend Fan? He has been very kind to my father, so if Dad finds out you offended him, he won't let you off easily!" said Chen Nan as she brandished her claws fiercely as though she wanted to purposely frighten the old man.

Sure enough, the butler was petrified, and his face turned as pale as paper!

"Miss Chen, you must save me. I really didn't mean it. Please help me back for leniency," implored the butler. He was terrified and trembled as he spoke.

"Teehee!"

A melodious laughter suddenly rang in the car.

The elegant young woman instantly shook from chuckling out loud.

"Uncle Wei, I was just teasing you. Don't worry, Fan is a nice guy. Moreover, you are just a tiny butler, so he won't take it to heart. I will help keep it a secret from my parents too. Don't worry about it," said Chen Nan when she noticed how terrified the old geezer was. She stopped making fun of him and smiled brightly.

Wei heaved a long sigh of relief. He felt as though he was on death's doors.

"Miss Chen, you gave me such a scare that I almost had a heart attack," griped Wei.

"But honestly, Miss Chen. If you can end up with Mr Chu, I'm sure your parents will be happy when they find out. Every hero needs a beauty. Before Mr Chu emerged, I always felt that no matter how big Jiangdong was, no one was good enough for you. But now that Mr Chu has soared through the ranks, I think that you two are the perfect match. Sigh. Time really passes quickly. You used to be a baby girl who couldn't even walk properly. Now you finally found a man who can protect you for life," said Wei slowly. He sounded both happy and sad.

Chen Nan shook her head and said deeply, "It's too late. Fan is already married. Also, Mu-Cheng is pretty and outstanding."

Chen Nan turned her head sadly when she said this. She looked out the window as the trees retreated into the background and the cold wind gusted by.

She felt as though all her worries and disappointment were all thrown behind her.

Chen Nan recalled the episode over lunch at the Ye family while she was in a daze.

Chen Nan truly thought that Old Master Ye was talking about Ye Fan.

But she ended up disappointed yet again.

Before Chen Nan left, she told Ye Fan that she said those words because she had no choice.

But was it really true?

Perhaps only Chen Nan herself knew the truth.

By the time Ye Fan got back, lunch was over.

"Fan, get over here," said Ye Ya's wife. Everyone was waiting for him Ye Fan They shot him cold stares when he came back, but he ignored them.

After all, she was so close to getting Chen Nan to become her daughter-in-law, but it blew up in her face.

Of course, Ye Ya's wife hated Ye Fan!

Ye Xi-Mei called her son into the room worriedly.

"Fan, is there anything going on between you and Miss Chen? Have you... You can't do that. You're already married. No matter how bad your wife is, she is still your wife, and you can't betray her." "Mum, calm down," said Ye Fan as he helplessly laughed when he heard his mother's words.

"Don't laugh! This is serious. You have to treat my questions seriously!" said Ye Xi-Mei solemnly.

Ye Fan comforted her, "Mum, I get it. Don't worry. Mu-Cheng is very kind to me, so I won't betray her. Nannan and I are just friends. She only said that she liked me because she had no choice. She had to shake them off her tail. Speaking of that, you have to talk to Grandpa. It's one thing if my Aunt wants a loser like Ye Jian to marry a beauty like Nannan. But how could Grandpa get involved? How could he try to matchmake them? Nannan comes from an important family, so it was a bad match to begin with. Just look at what Ye Jian is like. If Nannan really married him, how could she be happy? Even if Nannan agreed to it, I wouldn't let her do it!"

Ye Fan spoke somewhat furiously.

He invited Chen Nan over as a guest, but this episode was an embarrassment for even Ye Fan.

Ye Xi-Mei chuckled out loud and said, "How can you look down on your cousin?

Although Ye Jian is no good, he's smarter than you. He's especially talented with business. Most of the deals that your second uncle's food factory struck last year were done by Ye Jian."

But Ye Fan didn't care about business.

Perhaps he sounded accomplished to regular folk, but it was child's play in Ye Fan's eyes.

"Enough. Since there's nothing going on between you and Nannan, I'm relieved. Oh yes, it will be Lunar New Year in a few days. Didn't you say Mu-Cheng was coming over to spend the holidays with us? When is she coming? She has to meet your grandfather and the others. You've been married for three years, and it's about time we met. No matter how bad she might be, she has to meet her in-laws," asked Ye Xi-Mei when something came to her mind.

Ye Fan nodded and replied, "Okay, Mum. Don't worry. Mu-Cheng will probably come and see you this year. I don't know which day she will come. I'll call and check

tonight."

"Okay," said Ye Xi-Mei as she nodded and reminded him, "Also, stop making your second aunt angry. You stole the limelight when Chen Nan publicly confessed her love for you during lunch, but it was a huge embarrassment for your second uncle's family. They are still mad at you."
