A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 799 The Gift of Jade

Ye Fan's mood instantly lifted at the thought.

By now, Li Er and the others had led Ye Fan up to the trucks.

"Mr Chu, all the jade we collected is here."

"Good." Ye Fan nodded. "In that case, open the boxes and show them to me."

"Yes, Mr Chu!" replied Li Er as he nodded immediately.

Then he stepped forward and looked around before he shouted deeply, "Open them!"

Li Er's words sounded like a rock that fell into the ocean and left a tsunami in its wake.

In an instant, all the men shouted in unison.

"Open them!" "Open them!"

At Li Er's orders, all the truck doors opened, and the canvas was removed from them. Almost instantly, a bright dazzling light radiated from the trucks! Sunlight bounced off the bright dazzling jade.

It was so magnificent that it could be seen miles away.

"Oh my!"

"What is that?"

"Look at how dazzling it is!"

The glittering light from the jade instantly scattered over Yeyang as the townsfolk shouted in shock.

They left their homes and came over one after another when they saw this.

Ye Xi-Lan and the others naturally saw it too from the Ye residence.

So they headed over towards the splendid dazzling light as well.

But everyone was dumbstruck when they got there.

There were countless trucks outside the village entrance.

Each car was brimming with jade.

The jade was bright, unsullied, and beautiful.

From a distance, they could see bright light glowing resplendently from the trucks.

The jade certainly wasn't the most astounding thing in their presence.

Instead, it was the proud young man standing under the skies as all leaders paid obeisance to him!

"Li Er from the Li family of Yunzhou comes bearing ten tons of jade for Mr Chu!"

"Lei San from Jingzhou is here to present Mr Chu with ten tons of jade on behalf of the Lei family!" "Chen Ao from Jianghai is here to present Mr Chu with ten tons of jade on behalf of Chen Group!"

"Ma Fei from Fenghai is here to give Mr Chu five tons of jade!"

"Wang Jie-Xi from Haozhou is here to present Mr Chu with seven tons of jade on behalf of the Wang family!" Men stepped forward one after another to pay obeisance reverently as their voices rang through the air.

All the onlookers in the distance were dumbstruck.

"These things...are these all for Ye Fan?"

Ye Xi-Lan and the others were beside themselves with shock as they stared wide-eyed while tsunamis surged through their hearts. It was all jade!

It was the first time they witnessed jade being given as gifts by the ton in all their lives.

After all, it wasn't low-quality unprocessed rough jade they were talking about here, but high-quality precious stone.

A lot of it was famous and rare first-class jade.

As far as Ye Xi-Lan knew, a single gram of such high-end jade could be worth tens of thousands per gram.

Even if they weren't considered worldclass jade, they were still probably worth their weight in gold.

In other words, a ton of jade was worth at least a hundred million.

So by her calculation, the jade Ye Fan received today was worth at least tens of billions.

Tens of billions?

"Oh my god! How much does all this jade cost?"

Ye Xi-Lan's eyes went red. She was filled with envy towards Ye Fan.

If someone gave them a single truck full of jade, they would become millionaires.

Ye Xi-Lan's heart burned desperately at the thought.

In the end, Ye Xi-Lan was blinded by greed and shockingly went over to Ye Fan in the hope that he might offer her jade. Although she might have ill-treated Ye Fan, she was his aunt and Ye Xi-Mei's biological younger sister after all.

She didn't believe that Ye Fan and his mother would be that heartless to disregard all familial ties.

Perhaps if she apologized sincerely, they would forgive her.

But Li Er's bodyguard's blocked her after she took a few steps over.

"Stop right there! Who are you? Where are you going? Mr Chu and the other big bosses are having an important meeting, so no one is allowed to go over!" said Jin Bao coldly with a stiff voice and no room for negotiation.

Ye Xi-Lan instantly went mad. "How dare you? I want to see my nephew. How dare servants like you stop me?"

"What nephew? Hurry up and get lost! I have no time to play games with you!" replied Jin Bao as he rolled his eyes and scolded her impatiently.

But Ye Xi-Lan refused to cooperate and kept trying to barge in and yelled for Ye Fan.

So Jin Bao kicked Ye Xi-Lan out furiously.

"You reckless fool! Is Mr Chu someone you can demand to see? Leave now!" scolded Jin Bao coldly.

After Ye Xi-Lan got kicked onto the ground, Jiang Yu-Lang and Jiang Yu-Qing ran over anxiously to help her up.

Mum, are you okay?" asked Jiang Yu-Lang

worriedly.

Ye Xi-Lan shook her head with her face pale and replied, "Yu-Lang, Yu-Qing, I'm fine."

Ye Xi-Lan had already gotten up from the ground as she spoke.

Ye Xi-Lan came to her senses after Jin Bao kicked her.

She got up slowly and looked into the distance at the young man while the men bowed to him. Then she laughed in selfridicule after a long while, "Life is nothing but an illusion. In the past, we used to despise the boy, but now we don't even have the right to see him."

Ye Xi-Lan turned to leave defeatedly in the end.

Ye Tian and the rest of the Ye family left with her too.

They couldn't bring themselves to go on looking.

Did Ye Fan's glory have anything to do with them?

If they went on watching, they would only end up jealous and frustrated.

After they returned to the old Ye residence, Ye Tian and Ye Ya's guests made excuses to leave one after another.

After all, anyone could see that the Ye family had offended someone important.

Ye Tian was removed from office and under investigation, Ye Ya was exiled from the city by Lei San, and even Ye Xi-Lan's husband lost his job in Jianghai.

The Ye siblings were in such dire straits.

So everyone left immediately and steered clear of them. In an effort to save themselves, they left so quickly that they didn't even bother to eat.

The bustling Ye residence instantly became empty.

Only cold wind gusted through the residence as the food and drink sat on the tables untouched.

Sometimes, life could change so swiftly.

Ye Tian and his family were all receiving guests high-spiritedly just hours ago.

Who would have guessed that everyone would avoid them like the plague when their family fell?

Even Ye Tian's longtime friend, Qin Feng, got up to leave.
