A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 418 An Invitation from Yanjing

Ye Fan's cold stare made the entire bungalow feel as though it was in the north pole, and it felt icy cold everywhere.

Very quickly, Ye Fan finished taking care of Tong Shan's injuries. Ye Fan told him to stay with a peace of mind and recuperate. He would specially send someone to take care of Tong Shan tomorrow. Ye Fan left after dealing with the matter.

But before leaving, he stood by the door with his back facing Tong Shan and without hanging up the phone, he said, "I, Chu Tian-Fan, has no other family in the world except my mother and Mu-Cheng. You are the only ones that I can trust unconditionally. Tong Shan, Han, Ming Yu, and the others have been with me for years and are like family. I can't stand the sight of my family being insulted. This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last. If you aren't confident in the future, I will take care of it."

His profound words gusted into the bungalow with the cold night breeze.

Ye Fan stood quietly where the light and darkness converged, so his face couldn't be seen. Only Ye Fan's deep voice gradually flowed over as the light flickered.

Ye Fan left moments later.

But Ye Fan's words kept ringing in Tong Shan's ears.

He gradually grinned and laughed like a dumb fool.

"Young Master, it is my greatest honor to work for you," said Tong Shan to himself.

Han was still on the phone. He felt a warm surge in his heart when he heard Ye Fan's words.

Ye Fan was furious just now!

But Han knew that the angrier Ye Fan was, the more concerned he was about his men.

"You lunkhead! Aren't you happy that you can meet someone like Young Master? Hohoho!" said Han through the phone to

Tong Shan.

Han couldn't help feeling delighted as he spoke and his hearty laughter echoed nonstop.

It was past 8PM by the time Ye Fan arrived home.

"You good-for-nothing! Where have you gone all day?"

"You haven't even made dinner."

"Look at how late you are!"

After entering through the door, Han Li and Qiu Lei's piercing scolding came towards Ye Fan.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's parents looked down on Ye Fan even more as her business prospered with each passing day. They kept thinking that Ye Fan was beneath their daughter and kept asking her to divorce him. But Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan had long gotten used to her parents' harsh words and ignored them right away.

Her parents could say whatever they wanted, and they would just ignore her.

But the rude things her parents said this time made Qiu Mu-Cheng unhappy. Then she said, "Can you stop it? We have a guest today. Aren't you two afraid of embarrassing yourselves?"

What?

"A guest?" asked Ye Fan in surprise before instantly turning to have a look.

Sure enough, there was one more person at the dining table.

She was a pretty and capable-looking woman dressed in a particularly official women's suit with light makeup on her face. Her eyes were filled with a hint of sadness as she sat at the dining table and looked at him with constraint.

"Hi Mr Ye, I'm Lin Wen-Jing. We met previously. Do you remember me?" greeted Lin Wen-Jing respectfully after she saw Ye Fan and got up.

Ye Fan gave it some thought before saying, "Oh, I remember now. You're Miss Xu's secretary, right? What brings you here? Did Miss Xu come too? Mu-Cheng and I owe Miss Xu a lot and we've always wanted to thank her for it."

Ye Fan did have an impression of Lin Wen-Jing.

Lin Wen-Jing was Xu Lei's right-hand woman, so she attended many important events with Xu Lei and was the closest to her.

Ye Fan couldn't help feeling surprised when he saw this woman.

Ye Fan was worried that they couldn't ever meet again after Xu Lei disappeared without saying a word and went off the radar. Lin Wen-Jing's appearance made Ye Fan undoubtedly happy, so he asked her about Xu Lei.

"Shut your mouth! Do you have any place to speak here? Go in and bring dinner out. Miss Lin greeted you kindly only because you are Mu-Cheng's husband. Instead of feeling embarrassed that you are a live- in husband, you end up chatting with her. Do you think you're the man of the house?" scolded Han Li. She was clearly unhappy that Ye Fan acted as though he was head of the family and sat down to chat with their guest.

After all, Ye Fan was just a useless man who lived off her daughter. It was no place for the good-for-nothing to speak since there was a guest at their place.

Ye Fan ignored Han Li's reprimanding and treated it as gibberish as he continued chatting with Lin Wen-Jing.

"Mr Ye, Miss Xu can't come back here," said Lin Wen-Jing. Her expression turned dark instantly the moment she brought up Xu Lei.

Then Qiu Mu-Cheng asked quizzically and with concern, "Miss Lin, did something happen to Miss Xu?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was undoubtedly grateful to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei single-handedly helped facilitate the partnership between Qiushui Logistics and Hongqi Group.

Although Qiu Mu-Ying eventually stole the deal, Xu Lei defended Qiu Mu-Cheng several times and helped her a lot.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to visit and thank Xu Lei on several occasions, just as Ye Fan said, but Xu Lei was sadly no longer in Yunzhou. Qiu Mu-Cheng was naturally worried when she caught the expression on Lin Wen-Jing's face.

Lin Wen-Jing first nodded at Qiu Mu-Cheng's question before shaking her head. Then she said, "No...no, Miss Xu is fine. I came to invite Mr Ye to Yanjing to attend Miss Xu's wedding."

A complicated looked surfaced in Lin Wen-Jing's eyes as she looked at Ye Fan.

Then Lin Wen-Jing quickly added after realizing that her words were phrased inappropriately, "Miss Qiu is welcome to attend the wedding as well."

What?

"Is Miss Xu getting married?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng and the others didn't notice these minor details. They were more concerned that Xu Lei was getting married.

"How can that be?"

"Miss Xu is such an incredible woman. I didn't think that any man was capable of winning Miss Xu over and making her agree to marry him!" Han Li and Qiu Lei exploded from hearing the news too.

They found it inconceivable.

Xu Lei had always been the queen of Yunzhou.

It was shocking that such a powerful and strong woman would suddenly want to get married!

Ye Fan was equally surprised. "Why so sudden?"

"Yup, it is," said Lin Wen-Jing as she nodded and looked at Ye Fan hesitantly.

But Lin Wen-Jing didn't speak further and only handed an invitation to Ye Fan. The invitation seemed to be handwritten by Xu Lei and contained only a few words. "12th December. Mr Ye Fan is cordially invited to a wedding banquet. From: Xu Lei"
