A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 779 Everyone Went into a Shock

Outside the Ye residence, everyone was in an uproar.

Voices filled the air like steam from boiling water.

But there was complete silence in the Ye residence.

Everyone was stunned by the guests' arrival. Ye Tian and Ye Ya were dumbfounded when they heard the names of these important people. They were so stunned that they went speechless.

Although they were only separated by a door, the atmosphere was poles apart.

Everyone was in an uproar outside.

However, no one made a peep inside the residence.

It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

The only sound echoing through the air were these big shots' footsteps as they walked in.

Their heavy footsteps landed on the tiles and caused tremors in their hearts.

Ye Ya was already so shocked that he didn't dare to move.

Ye Tian was equally shocked and speechless.

The only person who could remain calm was Old Master Ye.

Although Old Master Ye didn't know why so many influential people were visiting him for the holidays, they were doing their family a huge favor just by turning up.

The Ye family had to play good hosts and be polite.

So Old Master Ye hurried Ye Tian and Ye Ya to go out and receive their guests.

But no matter how Old Master Ye shouted at them, neither of them dared to budge.

They had clearly learnt their lessons well and were fearful of further embarrassment.

It was fine if these guests were really there to visit them, but if they weren't, they didn't want to put on a thick skin to welcome them and end up leaving with their tails between their legs. So for a while, no one in the entire Ye family dared to receive these important guests.

But Lin Yao-Hua and the others weren't upset.

After entering the residence, they looked around.

Very quickly, they found Ye Fan quietly sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea by himself.

These Jingzhou tycoons hurried over immediately to pay their respects to Ye Fan when they spotted him.

"I, Ding Zhi-Dong, from Auspicious Phoenix Holding Company..." "I, Xu Jiu-Yang from Jiuyang Industrial...' "I, Lin Yao-Hua, is here on behalf of Yaohua Group to pay our respects to Mr Chu and wish you a happy new year!"

"We wish Mr Chu a prosperous new year!"

The richest man in Jingzhou, Lin Yao-Hua, took the lead, and everyone paid their respects to Ye Fan in unison.

Their waves of voices merged and flooded throughout the residence.

Their reverent voices shook everyone.

Silence!

There was a deathly silence!

The entire Ye residence went completely quiet.

Ye Tian stood petrified while Ye Ya's eyes were wide open.

Ye Xi-Lan forgot to breathe, and Ye Ya's wife was stupefied.

Their kids were also trembling in shock with their mouths gaping.

Everyone present stared awestruck at the sight unfolding before them.

"Are...Are these people...all...all here to see Ye Fan?" asked Ye Jian with his voice and body trembling.

But Lin Yao-Hua and the others completely dismissed the Ye family's reaction.

They were mainly there to see Mr Chu.

Lei San clearly went all out to make Ye Fan happy.

He did his utmost to gather jade for Ye Fan and even got all the rich and powerful people in Jingzhou to visit him and send him well wishes for the new year.

Of course, Lin Yao-Hua and the others were more than happy to oblige Lei San's appeal.

It was a win-win situation for them.

They could get to meet Ye Fan in person while putting the Ye family in the limelight.

Lin Yao-Hua and the others couldn't be bothered with the rest of the Ye family.

They only spoke more politely to them on account of Ye Fan.

The Ye family was nothing in the eyes of these business veterans if not for Ye Fan.

After paying their respects to Ye Fan, they entered the living room to wish Ye Xi-Mei, Qiu Mu-Cheng, and Old Master Ye a happy new year one after another.

Since Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Xi-Mei were the women whom Ye Fan was the closest to in the world, it went without saying that they ought to offer their well wishes if they wanted to flatter Ye Fan.

Also, Old Master Ye was the head of the family, so he deserved their respects.

Lin Yao-Hua and the others ignored Ye Fan's grandmother and the other relatives.

After all, since Ye Fan didn't introduce them, they didn't know how they were related and thought they were guests like them.

So when Ye Tian and Ye Ya took the initiative to chat with them, Lin Yao-Hua ignored them.

Instead, Lin Yao-Hua's bodyguard standing behind him pushed them aside.

"Don't block the way. Get out of our way!" said a cold voice landing on Ye Ya's face like a tight slap.

Ye Ya's face instantly flushed crimson as he obediently gave way.

His entire family felt particularly embarrassed when these guests treated their nephew so differently.

Ye Ya thought their family would be in the limelight today.

From the looks of it now, their family had already become a laughingstock.

After wishing Ye Fan a happy new year, Lin

Yao-Hua and the others bid farewell and got up to leave.

"Mr Chu, Master Lei will be here soon. Since we come from a lowly background, we won't disturb you further."

After they said goodbye to Ye Fan reverently, they left as everyone watched on in surprise.

Ye Xi-Mei was giddy the entire time.

Ever since they were driven out of the Chu family ten years ago, Ye Xi-Mei slumped into boundless darkness from her previously bright and promising life.

Ye Xi-Mei assumed she would spend the rest of her life in endless darkness submissively.

But these people unexpectedly turned up and put her in the limelight, so she enjoyed a lot of attention today.

She looked at the gold embroidery in her hands worth tens of millions before looking at her ravishing daughter-in-law,

Qiu Mu-Cheng, and recalled how the richest man in Jingzhou just paid his respects to her.

Everything seemed hazy and surreal.

Ye Xi-Mei felt as though she was dreaming.

Ye Xi-Mei's eyes had turned red unknowingly, and they glinted with joy.

She trembled and turned to Qiu Mu-Cheng as she asked, "Is...is this all for real? Mu-Cheng, are you really Fan's wife? Were... were they all really here to wish Fan and his family a happy new year?"
