A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 762 Give You a Big Surprise

"Don't do that Mum, don't chase my cousin away. What if someone actually comes to wish Ye Fan a happy new year and can't find him? Wouldn't that be terrible?" said Ye Jian sarcastically as he walked over with a mask over his mouth.

Ye Fan had hit him yesterday, and his face was still a little swollen.

So he had no choice but to wear a mask to cover it up.

"What? Jian, what nonsense are you talking about? Ye Fan beat you up so badly yesterday and you're still speaking up for him?" said his mother angrily as she immediately frowned.

"Auntie, listen to Jian and let them stay here first. Once all our guests arrive, they'd really suffer," said Jiang Yu-Lang as he walked over with a mask over his mouth as well.

She immediately understood what these two were plotting.

It was obvious that these two wanted to laugh at how Ye Fan and his mother had no guests.

After all, the house would be full of guests later, but none of them would be here for Ye Fan and his mother.

With this very obvious difference in clear sight, it would be humiliating to Ye Fan and his mother.

Letting them leave now would be helping them instead.

"That's also true. Ye Fan, don't be in a hurry to leave. At least stay for lunch? Besides, if someone really comes to look for you and can't find you, that would be a wasted trip for that person." Ye Ya's wife suddenly changed her attitude completely and started smiling at Ye Fan instead.

Ye Xi-Mei could see what they were plotting and immediately scoffed coldly. "There's no need. Fan and I will leave right now."

Ye Xi-Mei started pulling at Ye Fan to leave.

Since they had completely fallen out with one another the day before, there was no reason to stay any longer.

At most, she'd return to Yunzhou with Ye Fan.

She'd just find a factory that included food and lodging and work there.

That way, she wouldn't be a burden to Ye Fan and could even see her son often. She wouldn't have to suffer like this.

But it was Ye Fan who stopped Ye Xi-Mei instead.

"Mum, since my aunt is so insistent, let's have lunch before we go. Besides, she's right - what if someone comes to visit us? If I leave now, then the visitor would have come for nothing," said Ye Fan with a faint smile. His low and slow voice was completely calm and collected.

"Fan, nobody's going to come and visit us. They're asking us to stay because they want to laugh at us. Since we've decided to leave, why should we stay and continue to suffer like this?" whispered Ye Xi-Mei to Ye Fan a little worriedly.

"Mum, no need to worry. Just watch what happens later. I'm going to give you a big surprise today," said Ye Fan with a smile. He had a calmness and confidence that came with being in control of the situation. After that, Ye Fan found a seat and started drinking tea.

"This fellow is seriously not leaving? Does he think someone would come to wish him a happy new year today? What a joke! Who on earth would bother buttering up to a live-in son-in-law?" Ye Tian and Ye Ya just shook their heads and laughed, and they felt that Ye Fan was really stupid.

But since this mother and son was willing to stay and be humiliated, the two brothers were more than happy to let them be.

They ignored them and just walked into the living room to sit together with their father.

According to tradition, the elders and guests seats were all in the main living room of the house.

Younger members of the family and anybody unimportant would sit in the courtyard outside.

The Ye family got to their seats in no time.

It was a long way more to lunch, so after everyone settled down, they snacked and chatted casually with one another.

In the courtyard, Ye Fan had already seated himself. The fragrance of tea filled the air in front of him, so he just carried on enjoying tea by himself.

"What the hell? This live-in son-in-law is really thick-skinned. We haven't even taken a seat and he's just taken a seat and even started drinking tea by himself? Isn't he embarrassed at all? But once the house

is filled with guests who don't care about you and your mother, I'll see if you can still remain this calm!" Ye Jian was so angry to see how calm Ye Fan looked.

A strange fury overwhelmed his heart.

He thought of taking this chance to humiliate Ye Fan, but Ye Fan seemed completely unperturbed and behaved like nothing had happened. He didn't seem worried or anxious at all. This made Ye Jian feel like what he did earlier had no impact whatsoever.

In the end, Ye Jian, Jiang Yu-Lang and Jian Yu-Qing sat down across from Ye Fan. Ye Jian picked up a teacup, got himself some tea and drank it all down in one gulp in anger.

The gate of the Ye house was wide open as they waited for their guests, but there were also many busybodies gathered outside the house.

They sat on the stone steps as they snacked and gossiped.

"Winter has passed so quickly and spring is almost upon us. This year passed so fast."

"Looks like the old man of the Ye family is going to have another glorious Lunar New

Year!"

"Duh, obviously."

"That old man has so many well-to-do descendants."

"Both his sons and his granddaughter have done so well."

Townsfolk didn't have much to do, so when they gathered, they just spent their time gossiping about the people in their neighborhood.

They would talk about whose son was doing well and whose family was getting rich.

The better a family did, the more attention they garnered.

The Ye family had become the top family in the whole town.

Everyone was talking about how the Ye family was doing so well almost all the time.

"Hey Li, who do you think will get the most number of visitors this year? I think it'll be the eldest son. That fellow is our vice county chief, and he gets the most number of visitors every year. I don't think this year will be an exception."

"Wang, don't be so confident. The second son did well last year too. I heard that he's even selling his food products to the next city now, and his business is expanding. Apparently they earned a few million in revenue, so he's definitely the richest man around here. So many people would definitely be trying to butter up to him! I would think that even the eldest son might lose to him."

"Don't just talk about the two sons of the Ye family. I think the youngest daughter is doing well too. She married someone from Jianghai and her husband is a high ranking director in a government sponsored enterprise, so he's in charge of a business that's worth a few hundred million! I think there will be visitors from Jianghai too, not just Jingzhou." "This Ye family is really incredible. All their children are doing so well, and their influence goes from the army to the corporate world. I used to think that Ye Ya wouldn't do well, but it seems like we judged him wrongly back then. Who knows? Maybe even the eldest daughter might see a change in her luck?"

"The eldest daughter? You mean the daughter who was abandoned by her husband? Oh please, out of the four children, the eldest daughter is truly a failure! I heard that her son, Ye Fan, was so desperate tha he became a live-in son-in-law! What a disgrace!"
