A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 127 You Are??

"This Xu Bao used to be one of Master Er's capable subordinates. He has served under Master Er for

many years. But due to his bad conduct, Master Er has never given him any important responsibility.

And so Xu Bao was banished to this neighborhood and put in charge of this restaurant."

"In the past, Xu Bao has stepped out of line on numerous occasions. Due to sentimental reasons,

Master Er has never punished him too harshly."

"But today, Xu Bao has offended Mr. Chu. So this time, I think Master Er will be ruthless and remove

him from his position."

At this moment, Ye Fan had already gotten into the car with Shen Jiu-Yi and they were moving toward

Li Er's villa in Yunzhou.

Shen Jiu-Yi had already left some men to restrain Xu Bao. Right now, the latter was awaiting

sentencing from Li Er. As for Li Xiao-Hong, she had already received just compensation for her loss.

"A person's foundation lies in his conduct." "No matter how capable a person is, you can't entrust

important responsibilities to him if his conduct is bad," Ye Fan said nonchalantly as he sat in the car.

"Yes, Mr. Chu. You are right. I will relay your words to Master Er,” Shen Jiu-Yi said respectfully.

"Mm." Ye Fan nodded his head once and said nothing more. He shut his eyes and sat in silence.

Whoosh~

The wheels spun swiftly as the convoy of luxury cars sped along the streets of Yunzhou.

And while the low roars of the car engines rang through the air like the cries of wild beasts, the orange

headlights of the vehicles tore through the canopy of the night sky like so many swords.

Very soon, Ye Fan and the others arrived at the villa.

And Li Er, who had already been waiting at the entrance, went forward to welcome Ye Fan right away.

"Welcome, Mr. Chu~”

"I have already prepared the feast. We are just waiting for you to arrive."

Li Er smiled fawningly and quick-stepped toward Ye Fan.

"What the... And I thought we were waiting for some VIP?"

"He is just a youngster. Only a few years older than myself."

"And he's supposed to be 'Mr. Chu?"'

"I have no idea what is going through my brother's head. How could he entrust the survival of

Jiangdong to a youngster like him?"

At this moment, Li Er had already led his family members forward to welcome Ye Fan.

Meanwhile, a young and beautiful girl was standing in front of the villa with her arms crossed. She was

wearing a form-fitting chiffon dress and a high ponytail. The former accentuated her figure while the

latter helped to show off her youthful energy. Under the dress, her porcelain legs looked especially

alluring, and one would find it difficult to look away from them.

The girl's name was Li Xue-Qi and she was Li Er's sister.

However, just then, she did not look happy. Her earlier anticipation and curiosity had turned to

disappointment the moment she saw Ye Fan.

"My lady, Mr. Chu has already arrived. You should go over and greet him. Master Er specially told her

to establish a good relationship with Mr. Chu." When Jin Bao noticed that Li Xue-Qi had no intention to

move from her spot, he stepped in to counsel her.

But Li Xue-Qi snorted coldly and said, "He is just a brat. Is he worthy of receiving my welcome?"

After she had finished speaking, Li Xue-Qi turned around and walked away.

Before seeing him, Li Xue-Qi had imagined "Mr. Chu" to be a talented and suave gentleman; someone

who was learned and refined. But alas, the beautiful illusion she had of him was shattered when she

saw how shabbily dressed he was.

"How dare he come and meet my brother while wearing no-name-brand running shoes?"

"How could a bumpkin like him be a VIP?"

Li Xue-Qi stomped away angrily. And Jin Bao was left behind with an awkward smile on his face.

The prideful young lady of the Li family, sister of Li Er, was probably the only person who would dare to

speak of Mr. Chu like this.

"This is Mr. Chu's first visit to our villa. Indeed, you have honored our family.” "Come, Xue-Qi, come

over here and greet Mr. Chu." With a smile on his face, Li Er called for his sister to come and greet Ye

Fan. But when he turned around, he found that she had already gone away.

Li Er frowned and asked, "Mm? Where is Xue-Qi?"

"Master Er, the young lady has already returned to the house," Jin Bao answered in a panic.

"This silly girl. She doesn't know her manners." A dark expression came over Li Er's face, and he

started to tremble with rage.

"Mr. Chu, please forgive her. Xue-Qi is young and ignorant. She is also my father's only daughter so we

have been spoiling her," Li Er hurriedly explained to Ye Fan.

But, of course, Ye Fan did not take this matter to heart. After all, he did not know any Li Xue-Qi, Li Yu-

Qi or whoever. An inconsequential person like her did not merit his attention.

Afterward, Li Er went in front of Ye Fan and guided the latter through the villa.

But rather than calling Li Er's residence a villa, it would be more appropriate to call it a manor.

The grounds of the manor took up a lot of space. The size was almost comparable to the entire

Liuyuan Residential District. Along the way, Ye Fan could see pavilions and rare plants littering the

landscape. The whole place exuded opulence.

Just by looking at their huge manor that was located on prime real estate in the middle of the city, one

could tell just what sort of status the Li family enjoyed in Yunzhou.

Any visitor to the manor would be stunned by the opulence of the place.

But Ye Fan was a Chu by birth, so he was unimpressed by the sights before him.

"Mr. Chu, this way please."

After a brief moment, Li Er turned to Ye Fan and gestured for him to follow. And then he led the latter to

a long pavilion.

The banquet had already been set up there.

Several servers in cheongsams were waiting respectfully by the side. When they saw Ye Fan and Li Er,

all of them bowed slightly and greeted the two men respectfully.

"You are Mr. Chu?"

"You are young, but you sure put on a lot of airs."

"And you even made Master Er go out there personally to welcome you?"

"Do you think you are worthy of this honor?"

Two persons had already seated themselves at the banquet table.

The one who was speaking right now was an old man in a Tang jacket. He had white hair, but he

looked energetic despite his age. His breathing, unlike that of most elderly people, was deep and

strong. A discerning person would be able to tell from a single glance that the old man was a martial

artist.

When he saw Ye Fan, the old man spoke heavily, and his words carried a tinge of haughtiness.

Sitting beside the old man was the elegant and beautiful Li Xue-Qi.

Just then, Ye Fan was walking toward the table while surrounded by a group of people. Li Xue-Qi Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

glanced at him, the unhappiness and disdain evident in her eyes.

How dare a person like him sit at the same table as my teacher! This is an insult to my teacher!

"You are?"

Ye Fan walked forward and lifted his head. He was slightly taken aback by what he saw and exclaimed

involuntarily.

The old man in the Tang jacket looked even prouder of himself when he saw the look of recognition on

the young man's face. He lifted his head and talked down to Ye Fan in a disdainful manner.

"Young man, it seems you are not completely ignorant. You actually managed to recognize me," he

said haughtily.

"That's right, I am the one who is renowned throughout the pugilistic community of Yunzhou..."

The old man continued to show off but, before he could finish speaking, Ye Fan had already stepped

forward with a smile. And the latter turned to face Yin Bao, who was standing just beside the old man.

"You and your brother were the ones who ran into me last time. Am I right?"

"I... I..." Yin Bao was so touched that he almost burst into tears.

He had not imagined that a VIP like Mr. Chu would actually remember a small fry like himself.

At that moment, Jin Bao felt extremely flattered. It was as if the gods had bestowed a huge favor upon

him. His eyes reddened as he trembled with excitement.

"Yes...yes. Mr. Chu, it's me. I am Yin Bao. My brother and I still remember what you patiently and

sincerely taught us the last time we met. What you said about being a calm person and a kind

person..."

Yin Bao was in a state of great agitation.

But the old man in the Tang jacket was looking terrible, as if he had just swallowed a fly. As he reeled in

anger, the old man choked back the words he had been about to say.
