A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 793 Sever Ties

Ye Ya nodded profusely and said, "We believe you, Fan. We really believe you now! I was wrong, and we are sorry."

Ye Fan smiled coldly while Ye Ya begged sadly. Then he tilted his head back and drank up proudly.

Ye Fan smashed the glass as well after he was done.

The cup smashed into smithereens on the ground.

The sharp noise left Ye Ya's wife screaming in tears as she begged nonstop, "Fan, we are sorry. We were wrong. Please let us off..."

Ye Ya and his wife were filled with regret.

If they knew how powerful Ye Fan was, they would never have provoked him.

Ye Fan went back to the table and picked up the last glass of wine and toasted his youngest aunt, Ye Xi-Lan, and her children. "Auntie Xi-Lan, you said I was a good-for-nothing and a disgrace to the Ye family. Do you still feel the same way now? People have come from near and far to pay their respects to me. They call me the King of Jiangdong! The townsfolk call me Ye family's dragon. Auntie Xi-Lan, am I still a disgrace and a useless live-in husband?"

His resounding words crashed onto the ground powerfully like pieces of gold!

Each word cut like a sharp blade and stabbed Ye Xi-Lan deeply in her heart.

Ye Fan's incessant questions made Ye Xi-Lan turn pale as she trembled.

In the end, Ye Fan's roar made Ye Xi-Lan's legs go soft, and she slumped onto the ground like a dog.

She was in despair and terrified!

In the end, Ye Xi-Lan begged Ye Fan desperately with her eyes red and teary as she shook her head anxiously, "Fan, I'm sorry. I beg you to forgive us on account that we are relatives. Please forgive your uncle. Please help to put in a good word for him and don't let him get fired. Your cousins need the money for school, and we still have to pay housing and car loans. If your uncle loses his job, how will we survive?"

Instead, Ye Fan laughed and said, "Haha, relatives? Haha, are you talking about familial ties now?"

Ye Fan tilted his head up and laughed before he finished the last glass of wine.

He swallowed all the emotion in his heart, along with this wine.

Once again, Ye Fan hurled the glass, and it broke into pieces.

The crisp sound echoed through the air and left everyone in shock.

In an instant, the world fell silent, and not a sound could be heard. No one in the Ye residence dared to say a word.

Everyone watched the sight unfold with terror in their eyes.

After Ye Fan finished the third glass of wine, he turned to look at Ye Tian and the others and continued, "I have finished the third glass of wine! From now on, our ties are severed. Everything is over! I, Ye Fan, and my mother, Ye Xi-Mei, are no longer related to the Ye family. From now on, we will do as we please and have nothing to do with each other!"

Ye Fan's words sounded resolute.

Everyone in the Ye family felt as though they were struck by lightning. Ye Tian was stunned, Ye Ya's eyes were wide, and Ye Xi-Lan was in disbelief.

They didn't think Ye Fan meant it when he said they were severing ties.

Ye Fan got up and looked at Old Master Ye as he sat on the main seat.

In the end, the great leader of Jiangdong, Mr Chu, knelt before Old Master Ye in front of Li Er and the rest.

"Fan, what are you doing..." said Old Master Ye at a loss. He was shocked and quickly stood up.

Ye Fan didn't budge and continued to kneel.

"I'm not a heartless man, but there is no place for us in the Ye family. From now on, I will leave with my mother. I am sorry for being unfilial. I won't be able to stay by your side anymore. Please take care of yourself, Grandpa. I hope you live a long and healthy life!" said Ye Fan deeply with sadness surging through his heart.

Ye Fan kowtowed the old man once, twice, thrice.

He kowtowed three times for firstly because of their biological ties, secondly, for taking them in when they were in dire straits and thirdly, for protecting them.

The world fell into complete silence.

Only the wind gusted by.

"Fan, you..." said Old Master Ye. Before he knew it, he was in tears from looking at Ye Fan do this.

Old Master Ye watched from a distance with tears flowing from his eyes.

In his heart, he felt sad, helpless, and guilty.

"Fan, I didn't do enough for you both. I didn't protect you well enough and caused you to suffer so much humiliation," sighed Old Master Ye deeply with tears in his eyes.

He didn't try to make Ye Fan stay since he didn't have the cheek to do so.

Ye Fan was right. He wanted to stay, but there was no place for them at the Ye family.

All these years, Old Master Ye witnessed all their suffering and felt sorry for them.

He was also guilty about not protecting them well enough.

For this mother and son, leaving was a relief.

After Ye Fan finished kowtowing him, he took Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Xi-Mei and left the old residence.

Perhaps Ye Ya and the others finally found some conscience or were fearful of his power. One after another, they kept persuading Ye Fan to stay.

"Fan, that wasn't what we meant."

"We only said it in a fit of anger. We had no intention of chasing you away."

"Fan, don't do anything impulsive."

"We are family after all. No matter what conflict we encounter, we just need to talk about it. There's no need for you to leave."

"That's right, Fan. You are our nephew, and your mother is our sister."

"Although we didn't treat you well, it was all a mistake."

"We are family. We can work everything out, so there's no need to do this."

Ye Ya and Ye Xi-Lan kept trying to persuade Ye Fan.

Ye Fan merely shook his head and smiled.

He didn't know why, but these words sounded absolutely empty to him.

"Isn't it useless to say this now? Uncle Ya, Auntie Xi-Lan, I really want to know. If I wasn't the King of Jiangdong with these leaders knocking on the door, if I was just an abandoned son and useless live-in husband, would you still ask me to stay? Would you have said all this then?" asked Ye Fan with a penetrating tone striking them at their soul.

"We..."

Ye Ya and the others were too embarrassed to speak and eventually just lowered their heads.
