A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 763 I Am the Ye Family's Daughter-in-Law

All the busybodies watching outside continued to gossip among themselves.

Just then, Jiang Yu-Lang received a phone call in the courtyard. He immediately exclaimed, "What? Wenwen, you're here already?"

"That's great! Sure, sure, I'll be here waiting for you. My family will be so thrilled to see you," said Jiang Yu-Lang excitedly.

After he hung up, Jiang Yu-Lang got up and shouted towards the living room, "Mum! Wenwen says she can get here by morning. She's reaching Yeyang already."

What?

"Did you say Wenwen can get here by morning? Didn't you say she'll only reach at night? Why didn't you say so earlier? I have to prepare a red packet for my daughter-in-law!" Ye Xi-Lan was both surprised and overjoyed to hear this.

But Old Master Ye and the rest were confused. "Lanlan, who is this daughter-in-law you're talking about?"

"Dad, I haven't told you yet, but your grandson has a girlfriend now. She's also a top student at Yanjing University, and she's also from Jingzhou. So since Yu-Lang was going to spend the holiday in Jingzhou, she decided to come over to see Yu-Lang as well as wish you a happy new year," said Ye Xi-Lan as she beamed.

Everyone was filled with joy when they heard what she said.

"Oh my! That's wonderful! Yu-Lang is really good at this! He's only started university for one year and he got himself a girlfriend already. Since Yu-Lang is so charming, I'm sure his girlfriend must be very pretty. Yu-Lang, do you have a photo? Come and show your aunt," said Ye Ya's wife anxiously.

"Aunt, no need to be in such a hurry. Wenwen is almost here. Wenwen is prettier in person than in photos," replied Jiang Yu-Lang.

"Tsk! You terrible boy, hiding from me now, huh? Fine, I'll see her in person for myself later," teased Ye Ya's wife.

Ye Xi-Lan was also beaming from ear to ear. "Don't grumble, even I haven't see any photos myself. But Yu-Lang said that this girlfriend of his is the prettiest girl of the literature cohort, and many boys were after her, but she decided to go out with our Yu-Lang in the end."

"The prettiest girl in the cohort? She must be really pretty! Yu-Lang is really amazing, and he brings such honor to the family. Not like how someone became a live-in son-in-law for three whole years and dare not even bring his wife back home. She must be sooooo ugly that he dare not bring her out of the house," said Ye Ya's wife sarcastically as she winked.

Ye Tian and the rest just shook their heads and sniggered.

Even though the Ye family had never seen Qiu Mu-Cheng before, they didn't think it took a genius to figure out that Ye Fan's wife was nothing good.

Perhaps she was crippled or something.

After all, which nice girl would end up marrying someone like Ye Fan?

As she smiled coldly, Ye Ya's wife looked at Ye Xi-Mei. "Sis, I remember you telling Dad the other day that Ye Fan's wife was also coming over to wish Dad a happy new year this year."

"It's already the first day of the new year, but why don't I see her? Yu-Lang is only in university and he isn't even engaged to his girlfriend, but she's coming over to pay her respects to Dad. Your daughter-in-law has been married to Ye Fan for three years, so why doesn't she come and visit us? Is she too pretty or something? So she's afraid of attracting unnecessary attention? Or is she way too ugly and you're afraid that she's an embarrassment?" Her words were prickly as she smiled coldly.

Ye Xi-Lan chimed in as well, "That's right, Sis."

"No matter how terrible she is, she ought to visit her in-laws. Besides, it's okay even if she's a little ugly or fat, as long as she has a good heart. But she never appeared for the last three years, so she doesn't even have basic filial piety. Look at how filial my Yu-Lang's girlfriend is! They're not even engaged and she's already coming to visit his elders," said Ye Xi-Lan as she shook her head. But her words were clearly boastful and filled with a sense of superiority.

Ye Xi-Mei didn't say anything, but her expression was fairly nasty.

She was also very curious about her daughter-in-law. Ye Fan told her earlier that she was going to come this year, but there was still no sign of her.

Ye Xi-Mei was puzzled, but she didn't ask him about it.

She too, thought that it was possible that the woman her son married was seriously awful and was afraid that she was a disgrace, so he never wanted to bring her back.

Now that Ye Xi-Lan had mentioned these, it felt like a needle that pierced into Ye Xi-Mei's heart and she felt like she couldn't walk with her head high.

"That's right. If you two didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Fan, isn't your wife coming over this year?" Old Master Ye was suddenly reminded of this.

Ye Fan had also told him that he was bringing his wife to see him.

Several days had passed but there was no sign of her.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you about it earlier, but Mu-Cheng had some last minute issues at work to handle and really can't afford the time. So she can't come over personally this year," replied Ye Fan slowly.

There was a little disappointment in his voice.

When Ye Fan first left for Jingzhou, he already agreed with Qiu Mu-Cheng to spend the Lunar New Year in his hometown.

But when he called her the day before, Qiu Mu-Cheng said that something cropped up at work and she couldn't come.

He had been very disappointed when he heard that.

He didn't know if Qiu Mu-Cheng really couldn't make time to come here, or if it was just an excuse.

But he didn't push her and didn't ask her for more details either.

He respected her choice.

Ye Fan had just replied Qiu Mu-Cheng with a 'Happy New Year' and hung up.

Then there was no further communication after that.

"What? Busy at work? It's Lunar New Year! Which factory is still working? I think she's just using work as an excuse, and she's actually too embarrassed to come. But how ugly could she possibly be? She doesn't even have the courage to come and meet her in-laws?" Ye Ya's wife laughed merrily at this unfortunate situation.

Old Master Ye glared at her fiercely instead, "Shut up! Nobody would call you a mute if you don't keep quiet!"

She promptly stopped talking after that.

But the disdain in her eyes was still so apparent.

Ye Xi-Lan hadn't said anything, but she was clearly feeling equally smug.

Ye Fan's wife was an embarrassment, while her own son's girlfriend was supposed to be a school belle.

It was hard for Ye Xi-Lan not to feel smug when she thought about this vast difference.

"Sis, everyone used to say that you were prettier than me, but what's the use in that? In the end, your son married an ugly woman who doesn't even dare to step out of the house, while my daughter-in-law is a beauty. You've lost the genetics race of the next generation."

If the mother was super ugly, then Ye Fan's kids would probably be super ugly too.

Ye Xi-Lan was sure that Ye Xi-Mei's family would lose to her family in terms of genes.

"Hello there, is this the Ye's old residence of Yeyang town? I'm the daughter-in-law of the Ye family." A gentle female voice suddenly rang out just when Ye Xi-Lan was grinning gleefully to herself. Everyone immediately turned around when they heard the voice.

They saw an incredibly beautiful lady standing at the door of the house.

Her smile was gorgeous and her eyes were so attractive.

She was like a spring in the valley, or a snow lotus on the top of a snow covered mountain.

In that instant, everyone's breath was taken away by her beauty.

Ye Fan's expression froze and his pupils narrowed violently.
