A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 760 A Chat on the Eve of Lunar New Year

Before Ye Fan returned to Jingzhou, he contemplated setting up a company here and call it Ye Group.

He wanted to hand it to his mother to manage and let his relatives take up high paying positions with big fat bonuses.

Then he could improve the Ye family's situation quickly and make the Ye family rise through the ranks and become an influential family in Jingzhou.

Ye Fan wasn't being delusional. As long as he wanted to, he could create a corporation of any size appear out of nowhere.

Would any of the rich and powerful of Jingzhou dare to oppose his wishes?

Moreover, the leader of Jingzhou, Lei San, took orders from Ye Fan.

After Ye Fan chased Zhao Wu-Ji out of Jiangdong, Ye Fan handed a third of his businesses over to Lei San to manage.

Even if Ye Fan took them back from Lei San for his mother to manage, Lei San wouldn't dare defy his orders.

But all the things he encountered after he came home made Ye Fan change his mind completely.

Since the Ye family was heartless to begin with, why should Ye Fan worry about familial ties?

Ye Fan had decided that after celebrating Lunar New Year the next day and having one last meal with his grandfather, he would leave the Ye family with his mother and cut ties with the Ye family! Ye Fan had enough of living under someone else's thumb.

From now on, he wouldn't have to beg the Chu or Ye family. Ye Fan and his mother would take care of themselves.

Moreover, considering Ye Fan's abilities, his mother could afford to enjoy the finest life!

Ye Fan's words kept reverberating through the halls of the Ye family.

Ye Tian and the others were particularly surprised.

They didn't expect Ye Fan to offer to move out of the Ye family.

He was a live-in husband. Where could he and his mother go after they leave the protection of the Ye family?

Was he going to bring his mother to his wife's family to live with the Qiu family?

Would his in-laws ever agree to that?

They would probably get chased out before they made it past their doors.

But now that things have come to this, they couldn't be bothered where Ye Xi-Mei and her son would end up.

Ye Ya's wife sneered coldly and said, "Heh! You sure have pride, you brat! In that case, remember what you just said and get the hell out of here tomorrow night. The Ye family isn't big enough for the likes of

you!"

No one else tried to keep them, of course.

Now that things have come to this, they couldn't wait for Ye Fan and his mother to leave.

Out of sight and out of mind!

"Enough. Shut up! It's Lunar New Year, so can't you let me have some peace? Leave, all of you!" shouted Old Master Ye as he slammed the table finally after a long silence.

The old man's expression became grim and he suddenly exploded and told everyone to leave.

Now that things had turned ugly, no one was in the mood to have their reunion dinner.

Ye Tian and the others got up one after another and went home when Old Master Ye roared at them.

On their way back, their sinister laughter could still be heard vaguely.

"He's a live-in husband, but now he wants to bring his mother over with him."

"Are both that mother and son going to become Qius?"

"Haha."

"Hilarious."

"Where else can they go after leaving the Ye family?"

"Both of them are useless."

"They are so useless as it is. Don't they know that they have to keep a low profile? How can they act so proudly all the time?"

"You simply can't let people like them have their way!"

Their piercing voices came from outside the door.

Ye Xi-Mei's expression became even nastier when she heard them.

The two of them had been a little too impulsive tonight.

But it was too late to say anything now.

"Dad, sorry about making you angry. Have a good rest. Fan and I will head back first," apologized Ye Xi-Mei to Old Master Ye softly. Her face was pale when she left with Ye Fan. "Fan, stay for a while," said Old Master Ye as he suddenly raised his head and called for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan stayed behind without any retort.

"Come take a walk with me," sighed Old Master Ye. Then he headed out of the residence with Ye Fan and walked slowly on the streets.

The lights behind them shone brightly.

The two of them walked slowly on the streets.

Neither of them said a word.

Finally, Old Master Ye broke the silence first. "Fan, you were reckless today. I can't blame you for doing it since your uncles and aunt were at fault. But have you thought about it carefully? You can't go to the Chu family, so the Ye family will be the only support you can find. Now that you have fallen out completely with your relatives, you will have no way out. If you get a divorce one day and can't be a live-in husband, then who else can you turn to in Jiangdong?"

Ye Fan said nothing and only followed behind his grandfather.

"Fan, I'm getting old and can't even take care of myself. Even if I want to help you both, I'm powerless. You can only count on your uncles in the future. So take my advice and apologize to them all tonight. Apologize and give in to them. Blood is thicker than water. You are their nephew after all. If you apologize and give in, they won't chase you two away," said Old Master Ye worriedly as he suddenly turned around to look at Ye Fan.

He was already old, and all his grandchildren had grown up, but he was still the most worried about Ye Xi-Mei and her son.

He wanted Ye Fan to apologize to their relatives to make their lives easier.

"Fan, I know you are a proud man. You've always been stubborn. If you think you're right, you never apologize. But Fan, the world isn't a black and white place, and life is filled with moments of powerlessness. If not for yourself, at least think about your mother."

"Your oldest uncle is the deputy county mayor, your second uncle is a businessman, and your aunt's husband is part of the higher management of a company in Jianghai. If you keep up a good relationship with them, they can help you a little and help make your life better in the future. Then your mother can enjoy life too."

"But if you keep fighting with them because of your pride, what are you going to get out of it? You silly child, that's not a wise choice! Even I'm worried for you!" sighed Old Master Ye nonstop as he persuaded Ye Fan. He sounded both anxious and angry.

But Ye Fan shook his head and said solemnly, "Grandpa, I know you're saying this for my own good, but some things are intolerable! Moreover, I'm a grown man, so I don't need their help. Grandpa, forgive me for being unfilial, but I can't do as you say today. Tomorrow, I will leave with Mum. I don't need these so-called relatives!"

Ye Fan's words sounded like gold and rocks falling to the floor as it reverberated through the night air resoundingly!
