A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 328 What Are You Able to Do?

"Humph! Fan will feed me. You don't have to bother," scoffed Lu Wen-Jing as she angrily turned her face away from Lu Ming-Ze.

Lu Ming-Ze felt like this daughter would be the death of him.

It had only been a few days!

And now she didn't want her Daddy anymore!

She only had eyes for Ye Fan?!

"You terrible little girl, how has that live-in son-in-law bewitched you? Why are you so biased towards him?" asked Lu Ming-Ze in frustration.

"Humph! I'm going to ignore you! You're not my Daddy! I don't have such an unfriendly and snobbish Daddy," pouted Lu Wen-Jing angrily. She was clearly still upset with her father.

Lu Ming-Ze was amused by how adorable his daughter looked when she was angry.

He never thought that this precious daughter of his would learn to start a cold war with her father.

Lu Ming-Ze had no choice but to apologize nicely to her and coax her.

Men had it the hardest.

He already had to suffer the control of his boss at work while he worked, and then when he went home, he couldn't afford to offend the two women at home either.

Lu Ming-Ze was already trying his best to coax this precious daughter of his now.

After a long period of coaxing, Lu Wen-Jing finally started talking to Lu Ming-Ze again.

"Alright now, my precious little girl. Daddy was wrong and I won't say such things about that live-in...I mean, your beloved Fan," Lu Ming-Ze apologized with a bitter smile on his face.

"That's more like it. But Daddy, besides not saying anything bad about my beloved

Fan, you have to replace work for him too. He's really good at fighting! That day, so many bad guys surrounded us but he defeated them with just a few moves! I think you can hire him as a bodyguard and pay him several thousand a month," said Lu Wending excitedly as she looked up at Lu Ming-Ze.

Her large and bright eyes were filled with anticipation.

Lu Ming-Ze just shook his head and chortled. "Your beloved Fan was the one who made up all these stories, right?"

"I knew it. This family is just trying to make use of your mother to force me to replace jobs for them," said Lu Ming-Ze calmly. But the contempt in his voice had intensified again.

"Daddy, Fan didn't make up these stories. I'm the one who made it up. Oh no that's not right! It's not a story! It's true! It really happened and I was there!"

Lu Wen-Jing probably felt that she had said the wrong thing and nothing came out right, so her entire face was red.

"It doesn't matter. Daddy, you HAVE to replace a job for Fan. Otherwise I'll ignore you forever and never talk to you again!

HUMPH!"

Since Lu Wen-Jing couldn't seem to explain herself, she just decided to throw a tantrum. She turned away angrily as she put her hands on her hips and looked like she was really going to ignore Lu Ming-Ze forever.

Lu Ming-Ze immediately had a bitter smile on his face. "You terrible little girl. You're just as unreasonable as your mother when you want to throw a tantrum."

"Fine, I'll replace him a job, alright? I must have owed you and your mother something in my past life. Call him and ask him where he is. I'll talk to him face-to-face."

His daughter had never really asked him for anything and Lu Ming-Ze had never seen her side anyone like this before. So he had no choice but to agree to his daughter's demands.

At the same time, Lu Ming-Ze did want to see Ye Fan again. He had seen him once earlier, but he didn't take much notice of him. This time round, he was going to scrutinize this man. He was going to see how Ye Fan managed to completely enchant his own daughter.

Lu Wen-Jing soon found out that Ye Fan was buying groceries at a market nearby, and got her father to drive over.

"Fan!" Lu Wen-Jing was immediately overjoyed to see Ye Fan and jumped into his arms. Ye Fan gently patted the little girl on the head and smiled tenderly at her.

When Ye Fan saw Lu Wen-Jing, he was reminded of a cousin back when he was still in the Chu family. She used to love following behind him all the time.

But now ten years had passed, so that little girl cousin of his must be all grown up now.

So because of that, Ye Fan felt a nearly instinctive closeness to Lu Wen-Jing.

On top of that, Ye Fan really loved how Lu Wen-Jing was so innocent and kindhearted.

Even though it had only been a few days, Ye Fan had really taken a liking to his wife's little cousin.

"Uncle Ze, why were both of you in such a hurry to leave? I've just bought groceries to cook dinner for everyone," said Ye Fan politely to Lu Ming-Ze after he patted Lu Wen-Jing on the head. Lu Ming-Ze didn't answer Ye Fan's question and just looked very carefully at the man in front of him.

His hair was a little tousled and somewhat disheveled.

He was in a white short-sleeved shirt and a faded pair of jeans. His sport shoes were of an unknown brand.

Lu Ming-Ze was used to mixing around with people in high society, so after he saw the way Ye Fan was dressed, he immediately started frowning.

"Daddy, say something. Didn't you have something to tell Fan?" Lu Wen-Jing wasn't bothered by any of this and started prodding her father expectantly.

Lu Ming-Ze ignored his daughter and looked at Ye Fan as he asked coldly, "You're from a farming village?"

Ye Fan nodded.

"You come from a family of farmers?"

Ye Fan nodded again.

"Do you have something you're good at? Like welding?"

Ye Fan shook his head.

"What about construction? Can you work with wood? Or steel?" Lu Ming-Ze continued to ask.

Ye Fan continued to shake his head.

"What about a bulldozer? Do you know how to operate one?" Lu Ming-Ze's eyebrows were deeply furrowed now.

But Ye Fan continued to shake his head.

"If not, what about cooking? Surely you've learnt how to be a chef, right?"

But Ye Fan shook his head again.

Lu Ming-Ze's expression was grim as he snorted unhappily. "Then what can you do? You're such a skinny bum, I doubt you can even move the concrete tiles at a construction site." Lu Ming-Ze was clearly annoyed.

He hated people who didn't know how to do anything at all.

How could someone not be good at anything? Had Ye Fan wasted the last 20 years of his life?

Since Ye Fan was so useless, how could he get his daughter to replace a job for him?

Lu Ming-Ze was deeply annoyed already. If Ye Fan wasn't related to him, he would have walked off by now.

Ye Fan didn't say anything and remained expressionless.

Instead, it was Lu Wen-Jing who got anxious. "Daddy, you promised me to replace Fan a job."

Lu Ming-Ze had no choice when he heard his daughter's accusatory voice. He looked at Ye Fan and said coldly, "You should count your lucky stars that my daughter really likes you very much."

"Tell you what, since you can't do anything technical, then you can be a security guard at my company. We provide food and lodging and I'll waive your probation period. I'll start you off at $4,000 a month, and the company will cover your insurance. Don't whine about the salary being too little - even the team leader of the security guards draws this salary. Otherwise, a new staff like you would only get $2,800," said Lu Ming-Ze in a low voice. He made it sound like he was being

generous.
