A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 780 Ye Tian's Home Court

"Mum, it's all true. See how outstanding your son is?" said Qiu Mu-Cheng gently with a smile.

Her beautiful eyes brightly flickered as she laughed happily.

No one else could understand how Ye Xi-Mei felt now except for Qiu Mu-Cheng.

She felt the same way Ye Xi-Mei did when she saw Ye Fan step forward to let everyone pay their respects to him at Haiyuan Restaurant.

She was shaken and found it so surreal that she thought she was dreaming.

Ye Xi-Mei was crying tears of joy while Ye Ya and his family looked uneasy and afraid to speak up.

Their family slumped their shoulders dejectedly and didn't dare to keep up their arrogance.

They were the ones who suffered the greatest blow from the sight unfolding before them.

Ye Ya and his wife recalled how smug they were when their guests first started knocking on their doors.

Ye Jian even bragged to Ye Fan about how well connected their family was.

But they didn't expect all the influential tycoons in Jingzhou to come and visit one after another.

Since people like Xu Si-Hai and Lin Yao-Hua were all influential people, Ye Ya and his family couldn't help feeling even more embarrassed.

After all, most of his guests were owners of feed mills or pig farms.

But Ye Fan's visitors were either CEOs of businesses worth billions or chairmen of listed companies.

Also, they gave lavish gifts like the gold embroidery worth millions.

On the contrary, all that Ye Ya's family received were cigarettes, alcohol, and the most expensive gift was a watch worth

about $1,000.

In comparison to Ye Fan, their family's guests were nothing but a pile of shit and completely out of their leagues.

Ye Ya's family was undoubtedly embarrassed by the situation.

Ye Ya's wife lowered her head crimson from shame without daring to look at Ye Xi-Mei anymore.

Despite their disgrace, Ye Ya and his family found it unfathomable how the useless live-in husband managed to have so many big shots knocking at his door today.

Old Master Ye started to have a whole new level of understanding of his eldest grandson as well.

Old Master Ye looked at Ye Fan, who was quietly sitting in the courtyard calmly drinking tea and sighed, "Tian, I think we underestimated Fan. He must have accomplished a lot while he was away all these years. I used to think he was the most unpromising kid in his generation, but we were mistaken from the looks of it now. Fan is the most outstanding child in the Ye family after all!"

Old Master Ye spoke deeply with joy in his eyes.

Other than Ye Xi-Mei and Qiu Mu-Cheng, Old Master Ye was probably the only person who was genuinely happy for Ye Fan from the bottom of his heart.

"Outstanding, my ass! All he did was do some business. What is there for him to be smug about? Does he really think that he's a big shot now that he has the backing of these men? In my eyes, he's nothing," sneered Ye Tian coldly with his face livid.

Then Ye Tian continued, "These lowly businessmen. How dare he show me such poor attitude and push me aside? We have given these merchants too much freedom, and now they're stepping all over us. Tomorrow, I will make these lousy merchants pay the price!"

Ye Tian's eyes were icy cold as fury seethed in his heart.

Ye Tian was clearly still upset about how Xu Si-Hai shoved him aside like a dog.

Since Ye Tian was a high ranking government official, he was used to enjoying the best treatment.

In the past, be in the town, county, political or business circles, everyone treated him courteously.

But everyone's disregard for Ye Tian today undoubtedly made him feel insulted and furious. Moreover, Ye Tian always disliked Ye Fan.

So Ye Tian couldn't stand the sight of Ye Fan's family doing well, and his hatred for him soared intensely.

Although Ye Tian was shocked by the tycoons who came to pay their respects to Ye Fan, it was mere surprise, and he would never bow to their family because of this.

After all, Ye Tian looked down on entrepreneurs from the bottom of his heart.

In China, officials had always been held in high regard. Hence, Ye Tian thought highly of himself and felt that Xu Si-Hai and the others were mere lowly mercenaries, and he had nothing to fear. The true VIPs would arrive when his guests from the official circles turned up in a minute.

Ye Tian mulled in his heart without uttering a word.

Instead, he glumly sat there in silence as he waited.

Sure enough, a commotion took place outside the old residence before long.

Many cars with red flags on them came driving in slowly.

Moments later, the boy received them at the door and announced their entrance loudly.

"Qin Hong-Fei, County Mayor of Dongyang, is here!"

"Mr Shen Bi-Chen, County Mayor of Huachun, is here!"

"Mr Zheng Yuan-Bo, head of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of Jiuhua, is here!"

The announcements echoed through the air one after another like surging waves.

Ye Tian was instantly delighted to hear these familiar names.

After suffering in silence for so long, it was finally his turn to show off.

So the moment they arrived at the residence, Ye Tian stood up and said, "Haha! Let's go, Honey. It's our home court now. Come with me to receive those government leaders." After feeling suppressed for so long, Ye Tian finally recovered the spotlight and his pride.

He held his wife's hand as he walked out to the door with his head held high to receive them.

"Oh my! Happy new year, Deputy County Mayor Ye."

"You sure look like you're in high spirits after we last met half a year ago."

"I heard that you will get transferred into the city next year."

"Then you will rise meteorically."

Everyone flattered Ye Tian one after another when they saw him.

Ye Tian waved his hand nonstop and sighed, "The promotion isn't set in stone yet. You can congratulate me when I succeed. Come on in to the house."

"Hey, we aren't late, are we?"

"I set out first thing in the morning and drove for over an hour."

"Luckily, we made it for lunch."

"Or else, no one will feed us."

They bantered as Ye Tian, and his wife led them into the hall to get seated.

The passersby outside sighed in envy when they caught sight of this.
