A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 755 Ancestor Worship

Lu Wen-Jing was furious when she heard Ye Ya ordering Ye Fan around.

Heavens, how could anyone be as shameless as this man?

They couldn't bear to let their kids lift a finger to work so they ordered Ye Fan around instead.

That was simply unreasonable.

Before Lu Wen-Jing retorted, Ye Fan smiled and replied, "Uncle Tian, Uncle Ya, sorry. I'm going over to Yu-Xiang's place to help and I don't think I'll make it back in time. So you'll have to do it yourselves."

Hmm?

"Yu-Xiang's place? That stupid friend of yours? He can wait. Go help clean up both your uncles' places first. He's just an outsider. Could he possibly be closer to you than us?" asked Ye Ya deeply.

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Gosh, Uncle Ya, you're spot on. Xiang's family even prepared dinner to welcome me home.

Uncle Ya can't compare to him just on this alone. Enough. I have to hurry over to help."

Ye Fan seemed to be deliberately infuriating his uncles. After he finished his sentence, he told Lu Wen-Jing to head over to Shin Yu-Xiang's place with him.

"Fan?"

"Don't go, Fan."

"You..." shouted Ye Ya from behind, but Ye Fan ignored him.

Ye Ya gnashed his teeth furiously after getting completely overlooked by Ye Fan.

"Humph. Dad, look at your lovely grandson! He's an ingrate. I'm his uncle, and I told him to help. Even if he doesn't want to, he didn't have to go help some other family with chores! What is the meaning of this? Is he trying to embarrass me? Xi-Mei, why did you stand around without scolding your stupid boy?" shouted Ye Ya angrily at Old Master Ye before looking at Ye Xi-Mei.

Ye Xi-Mei replied calmly, "I think Fan was right. Moreover, he's like that. If someone shows him kindness, he will be good to them. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself about why your nephew treats you worse than an outsider?"

Ye Ya was completely stumped after Ye Fan went against him. Now his oldest sister argued with him and left him speechless. Ye Ya looked livid.

"Fine. Xi-Mei, since you put it that way. Don't come running to me for help when Ye Fan gets married in the future. Didn't you say I couldn't compare to an outsider? You can go get outsiders to help you," sneered Ye Ya as he laughed angrily.

"Enough! Shut up! You make it sound as though you were some big help! You didn't pay a dime or lift a finger when Fan got married three years ago. How can you have the cheek to threaten your oldest sister?" shouted Old Master Ye angrily in an instant as he lashed out at Ye Ya.

Ye Ya realized that Ye Fan was already married.

In his fury, he clean forgot that Ye Fan was a live-in husband.

Now that his father reprimanded Ye Ya about it in front of Ye Xi-Mei, Ye Ya looked embarrassed. He explained, "That wasn't my fault. Ye Fan married into the Qiu family. It was so embarrassing. How could I participate?"

"Enough, Dad. Stop bringing up these trivial matters. Aren't we making offerings to our ancestors this afternoon? When are we going?" said Ye Tian as he changed the subject and got to business. Ye Fan had brought Lu Wen-Jing over to Shin Yu-Xiang's place to play.

It was the first Lunar New Year that Du Wen-Ya was spending with Shin Yu-Xiang after they got married, so she was present when Ye Fan arrived.

The couple was delighted to see Ye Fan.

"Haha! Fan, I was about to look you up. Are you free today? Why don't we head over to the market and buy some fireworks? Stay for lunch, and we can have a drink," said Shin Yu-Xiang as he hugged Ye Fan by the shoulder and chuckled.

It was the best holiday Shin Yu-Xiang was spending since he graduated.

Of course, Shin Yu-Xiang was happy to marry the woman of his dreams.

Ye Fan didn't dampen his spirits and agreed right away.

From Shin Yu-Xiang's perspective, it was only the first holiday he spent with his wife.

But to Ye Fan, it might be the last Lunar New Year he would ever have.

Ye Fan did his best to calm down and spend the Lunar New Year with his good friends and family.

But could Ye Fan truly calm down?

His ten year plan was coming to an end.

No one could remain calm about it.

Not even Ye Fan.

His biggest concern now was whether the jade that Li Er and the others had prepared could reach him safely.

Time passed.

Ye Fan didn't go home for lunch and ate with Shin Yu-Xiang.

Since he was free in the afternoon, they played mahjong.

At around 4PM, Shin Yu-Xiang went to worship his ancestors with his father.

Then Ye Fan brought Lu Wen-Jing home.

On their way home, Lu Wen-Jing asked Ye Fan, "Fan, why didn't you have to worship your ancestors with your grandfather and the others?"

Ye Fan replied slowly in a calm tone, "Yeyang isn't where my father's ancestors are buried, so why should I go? Although I am a Ye, I'm an outsider to both my uncles."

Lu Wen-Jing asked curiously, "Then where are your ancestors' graves? Aren't you going back to make offerings? Mum said that boys have to visit their ancestral graves to make offerings and bring them back for the Lunar New Year. Also, you have to get buried in the ancestral graves after you die."

"My ancestors' graves?"

Lu Wen-Jing's words made a lot of memories come back to Ye Fan.

But after a long time, Ye Fan finally shook his head in self-ridicule and said, "I was disowned by the Chu family, so I don't have an ancestral grave to speak of. I will become a wandering spirit after I die. After I die, I can get buried anywhere. Why do I have to get buried with my ancestors when they are plenty of other good places?"

Ye Fan's calm voice swept by like a cool breeze and rang throughout the air.

Meanwhile.

Hundreds of miles away in Fenghai city in Qingshan.

Dozens of expensive luxury cars filed out slowly.

They converged into a single line like streams flowing into the ocean.

The low roars of their engines shook the earth.

The peace in the town was finally broken when the cars came in.

Right in front was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which slowly pulled up at an old residence.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit got off.

He looked imposing with each stride he took.

A domineering aura of a leader radiated from him with each move he made.

He was a long-time leader.

After the middle-aged man got off the car, he stood in front of the car and raised his head to look ahead. Before him, the old residence lay prone on the ground like a ferocious animal standing guard over the land.
