A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 490 False Accusation

"Meng Han, what are you saying? Fan shouldn't have to pay for this meal. Let me pay for it?"

Xu Lei was having lunch with her classmates. Ye Fan pulled time out of his busy schedule to lunch with them for Xu Lei's sake, and he wasn't her boyfriend either anyway.

So it made no sense for Ye Fan to pay for lunch.

Xu Lei was naturally unhappy that her classmates were targeting Ye Fan.

After defending Ye Fan, she stepped forward to foot the bill.

"Forget it, Lei. Save your salary. How can we let you pay now that you have come to Yanjing?"

Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao didn't let Xu Lei foot the bill. After all, Meng Han was around. If they let a visitor like Xu Lei pay for lunch, their classmates would think they were miserly if they caught wind of it. Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao were both prideful folks, so they didn't mind paying for lunch as long as it made them look good.

"Humph, Lei. How can you go on with someone like him? Is he worth it? He's so poor and stingy! Why did you end up dating him? Just look at how rich, talented and generous Dong-Bao is. That's the kind of man you should date. Lei, why don't you accept Wenwen and Dong-Bao's offer to introduce some men to you? Even Wenwen's driver is better than Ye Fan, right? You're the belle of the finance faculty, so you can't do this injustice to yourself."

Meng Han's impression of Ye Fan undoubtedly worsened because he didn't pay for lunch.

She felt that Ye Fan was a thick-skinned pauper who leeched off them without saying a word of thanks and was utterly shameless.

Meng Han was clueless about why the finance faculty's belle, Xu Lei, would land herself a boyfriend like Ye Fan.

It was too embarrassing to even speak of it!

Instead, Xu Lei shook her head when she heard Meng Han's pity. Then Xu Lei said, "You don't understand, Meng Han. You are an outsider, so you don't understand anything or know Fan. You think that he is beneath me, feel sympathetic about me, and think he isn't worth my time, but none of you know the kind of man Fan is behind his ordinary fagade. If I could become Fan's wife one day, I won't feel indignant about it. Instead, it would be my greatest honor."

Xu Lei and Meng Han walked behind the crowd on the marble pavement.

Xu Lei cast a furtive glance at the skinny man as he walked in front of her with her eyes gleaming inexplicably.

Although all Xu Lei spent was a short day with Ye Fan, she really enjoyed being treated like his girlfriend.

So what if Xu Lei knew it was a misunderstanding?

At least for just one day, Ye Fan belonged to Xu Lei alone in their view.

She was already contented for that.

Meng Han stared wide-eyed when she heard Xu Lei's words. Meng Han looked at Xu Lei disappointedly and said angrily, "Lei, I don't know what to say about you. You're hopeless! I don't know why you are so smitten with this fellow! He has stolen all your rationality!"

Meng Han felt speechless.

Xu Lei continued to gaze at Ye Fan from behind as she smiled gently.

They would probably never understand how blissful it was for Xu Lei to become Ye Fan's woman.

While Xu Lei and Meng Han were whispering behind, Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao were looking at Ye Fan angrily.

"They are such ingrates! We've been paying for their food and drinks but they didn't even say a word of thanks. I would rather feed a dog than pay for them. It's infuriating! Do they think they can take advantage of us? Hubby, we must make them suffer for it!" said Guo Ya-Wen softly to Lei Dong-Bao. She was infuriated to see Ye Fan walking around smugly with his hands in his pant pockets. Then Guo Ya-Wen saw an upmarket jewelry shop up ahead and suggested to go in.

"Wow, this necklace is lovely! Come over and take a look, Lei!" said Meng Han as she quickly dragged Xu Lei over to see the necklace.

Ye Fan casually looked around inside the shop.

Guo Ya-Wen took a jade bracelet from the counter and walked towards Ye Fan when she spotted him alone.

Then Guo Ya-Wen deliberately dropped the jade bracelet when she got to Ye Fan.

THUD!

The jade bracelet fell to the ground and smashed into smithereens instantly.

"AHHH! What are you doing? How could you be so careless with the bracelet? I got scraped by its shards!" said Guo Ya-Wen instantly in agony as she squatted down to touch her calf. "Wenwen, are you okay? Are you hurt? You brat, if my Wenwen is hurt, you are going to get it from me!"

It was as though Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao orchestrated it. Once Guo Ya-Wen broke the jade bracelet, Lei Dong-Bao ran over and pretended to be concerned while blaming it on Ye Fan. Meng Han hurried over to support Guo Ya-Wen worriedly.

"Wenwen, are you okay? Bloody hell, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Did you have to throw the bracelet at Wenwen? You'll have to pay for it!" scolded Meng Han angrily. Since Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao blamed Ye Fan first, Meng Han undoubtedly thought Ye Fan was at fault too for breaking the bracelet.

Ye Fan furrowed his brows and said, "It wasn't me. She broke it herself."

"Goodness me, are you still going to deny breaking it? Are you blaming Wenwen the minute you have to pay for it? Heavens, how can anyone be as vile as you?" said Meng Han even more angrily the moment Ye Fan denied breaking the bracelet.

Guo Ya-Wen pretended to be magnanimous about it and said slowly, "Hanhan, it's okay. I'm fine, so don't blame Ye Fan. After all, he's Lei's boyfriend. Dong-Bao, can you go to the counter and pay for it? This bracelet doesn't come cheap and costs tens of thousands. Since Lei doesn't make that much money, I don't think they can afford to compensate for it.”

"No way! Wenwen, you're too kindhearted, so you end up getting bullied all the time. He has to be held responsible for it since he broke it. How can you pay for him? Just let him pay and stay out of it. He needs to learn his lesson," said Meng Han indignantly.

Ye Fan repeated coldly, "I said it wasn't me."

"God, what kind of person are you? Aren't you going to own up? Lei, your boyfriend is so dishonest," said Meng Han furiously.

But Xu Lei said angrily, "I trust Fan. If he did it, he would own up."

"Xu Lei, what are you driving at? Are you saying I framed your boyfriend?" asked Guo Ya-Wen irritably.
