A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 782 Disregard and Annoyance

At Yeyang's village entrance.

That uncle and his nephew had yet to recover from their shock.

They had no clue that a hundred miles away from here, dozens of cars had come towards this remote town from all directions and converged on the roads like streams heading towards the ocean.

No one in the Ye residence knew about them.

Ye Tian and his family were still lapping up the attention their guests brought them.

"Old Master Ye, your son is the deputy county mayor, so he has brought glory to your family. Did you know your elder son is the youngest deputy county mayor in Jingzhou? He has such a bright future! I guarantee he will get transferred to Jingzhou and get promoted to the provincial department within 30 years," said Shen Bi-Chen, Huachun's county mayor.

Huachun was the most backward county in Jingzhou, so now that Shen Bi-Chen caught wind of Ye Tian's promotion, he quickly ingratiated him.

Then Ye Tian would keep him Shen BiChen in mind when he got promoted and help him advance in the future.

Other than Shen Bi-Chen, the rest of them stepped forward one after another to congratulate Old Master Ye.

Everyone enjoyed listening to flattery, and Old Master Ye was certainly no exception.

Old Master Ye beamed from ear to ear and looked as though he had eaten honey when he heard what they said and kept nodding in agreement. "Haha! Stop praising me already. It's embarrassing," said Ye Tian as he acted modestly. However, he was feeling absolutely smug in his heart. "Hmm? Tian, where is your daughter, Yu-Yan? Didn't she just come back a few days ago?" asked Qin Yu's father, Qin Feng, quizzically.

Qin Feng clearly saw Ye Yu-Yan at his son's wedding banquet previously.

So he was puzzled why there was no sign of her during the Lunar New Year holidays.

Ye Tian laughed as he said, "Feng, stop looking. My daughter went back to the army camp a few days ago. She's the special troops' leader now, so she's very busy."

Ye Tian sounded like he was showing off when he spoke.

Everyone was instantly impressed. "Oh wow, that's wonderful!"

"She's still so young, but she's already the leader of the special troops."

"Who knows what she will be capable of in the future?"

"Like father, like daughter."

They flattered him nonstop.

Ye Tian instantly smiled and was delighted with their flattery. He chuckled and replied, "I can't take credit for her success. All I can say is our family upholds good traditions. Even my little brother and youngest sister's kids are doing well."

Ye Tian called Ye Jian over and introduced him as he spoke, "This is my little brother's son. He's young, but he has great business acumen. Last year, he helped his father strike a $5 million deal. Jian, come over and offer a toast to these uncles."

Then Ye Tian told Ye Jian to drink with them.

Ye Jian was honored to drink with them.

After all, these people were all government leaders.

They would certainly need their help if they planned on expanding their food factory in the future.

It would give Ye Jian a massive advantage to get acquainted with these powerful men.

"Yu-Lang, Yu-Qing, don't stand around. Come over and toast these uncles too," said Ye Tian. After introducing Ye Jian, he called Jiang Yu-Lang and his sister over to present them to his colleagues. "Oh my, they both came in first?"

"Well done!"

"That's so unexpected. They certainly did you proud."

"We feel so envious just hearing about it."

After they heard about Jiang Yu-Lang and Jiang Yu-Qing's achievements, they were stunned.

Shen Bi-Chen noticed someone sitting alone in the courtyard. Then he instantly asked Ye Tian quizzically, "Isn't that your nephew too? Why didn't you ask him over?

Ye Tian waved his hand and replied, "Ignore him. He's a live-in husband, and it's embarrassing enough. The Ye family has been unsullied for generations. After going strong for 100 years, he's the biggest disgrace of the family."

Ye Tian sneered in disdain before quickly changing the subject since he didn't want to talk about Ye Fan.

In an instant, all the Ye family members went into the living room for a seat.

Ye Tian called Jiang Yu-Lang, Jiang Yu-Qing, and Ye Jian over to pour tea for their guests.

Only Ye Fan remained seated in the outdoor courtyard in the huge house.

He looked so tragic that it seemed as though he had been forsaken.

Ye Xi-Mei felt bad for Ye Fan, so she wanted to ask him to come in and have a seat. Ye Jian and the others had already gone in. Why should her son be left out in the cold?

"Can't you see we have no space left? How can we let him come in? There is no space for him here!" sneered Ye Xi-Lan coldly. She immediately stopped Ye Xi-Mei from telling Ye Fan to come in.

She was right. The entire living room was filled with people, and there were no empty seats. Even if Ye Fan came in, he would have to stand.

"Mum, I'll go out and sit with him. Just stay here," said Qiu Mu-Cheng as she got up. She disregarded the cold weather and walked out towards the table and sat down next to Ye Fan.

"What are you doing out here? Go back in. It's cold out here," said Ye Fan angrily when he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng come out.

Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled. She picked up the teapot and filled Ye Fan's teacup, and poured herself some tea as well.

Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled gently as the scent of tea wafted through the air and said, "With Mr Chu around, what's this bit of cold?"

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled after he heard Qiu Mu-Cheng and stopped convincing her to go into the house.

"Ye, do you still have any? Give me a stick.

I really feel like smoking," Qin Feng suddenly felt like smoking and asked Ye Tian for cigarettes while everyone bantered happily in the living room.

"I'm all out too. Why don't I buy you some?' said Ye Tian as he turned to leave.

Shen Bi-Chen quickly stopped him. "Do you need to go personally for such a trivial matter? Just sit here and take care of your guests. I'll go get the cigarettes," he fawned on Ye Tian.

He turned to walk out of the living room to buy cigarettes.

But on his way out, Shen Bi-Chen realized he had a problem. Since he was in an unfamiliar place, where should he go buy the cigarettes from?

Then Shen Bi-Chen noticed Ye Fan quietly drinking tea in the courtyard. He walked over and ordered him about, "Go out and buy me a few packs of cigarettes. Buy something good and send them into the house when you're done."

Shen Bi-Chen spoke frostily as though he was ordering a servant about.

Ye Fan disregarded him. He continued sitting there drinking tea and turned a deaf ear to Shen Bi-Chen.

"Hmm? Punk, are you deaf? Or crippled? I told you to buy me cigarettes. Didn't you hear me?" scolded Shen Bi-Chen angrily with a frown on his face.

Ye Fan's disregard undoubtedly annoyed him.
