A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 491 We Should Go Our Separate Ways Since You...

"So that's what you think of me all this time. I can't even compare to this pauper after the four years we spent studying together. Fine, in that case, why carry on hanging out together? Since you don't believe me, we should go our separate ways! Hubby, let's go. We shouldn't help them compensate for the jade bracelet and let them take advantage of us," said Guo Ya-Wen continuously in a fury. Her angry voice kept echoing through the air.

Then she pulled her husband along as she turned to head out.

"Wenwen, Wenwen!" shouted Meng Han anxiously from being stuck in the middle now that Guo Ya-Wen and Xu Lei had fallen out, but it was clearly futile.

Guo Ya-Wen and her hubby left the jewelry shop without even looking back.

"Lei, are you dumb? How can you offend Wenwen for someone like him? It's not worth it!" said Meng Han as she sighed.

Then Meng Han glared viciously at Ye Fan and shouted, "Look at what you've done?

You caused trouble and dragged Lei under with you. You can forget about watching the fighting match this afternoon."

Meng Han had the utmost detest for Ye Fan.

Then Meng Han turned to look at Xu Lei and said she would talk to Wenwen and look for Xu Lei later.

All three of them left before long, and only Ye Fan and Xu Lei remained.

"Fan, I'm sorry. My classmates were..." said Xu Lei apologetically in a soft tone as she hung her head guiltily after Meng Han left.

Ye Fan laughed softly and said, "Lei, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault. It's a big world out there, so there's bound to be all kinds of other birds who can't mix with us. Let's go. The fighting match is about to begin, so we have to go. If we turn up late, Xue Ren-Yang will get anxious."

Ye Fan spoke nonchalantly and remained composed. It was as though the incident didn't cause a ripple in his heart.

Ye Fan might be young.

But he had experienced many upheavals all these years.

Even though he didn't have a complete understanding of the world yet, he was able to remain calm regardless of the situation.

Guo Ya-Wen's petty tricks were undoubtedly childish and hilarious to Ye Fan, so he naturally wouldn't feel angry about clowns like her.

"Stop right there! Do you want to leave without paying up after breaking my bracelet? There is no such good fortune in the world!" said the fat shop owner sternly as he walked over to Ye Fan and Xu Lei while they prepared to leave.

Since Xu Lei was eager for things to proceed quietly, she wanted to compensate the shop owner.

"Since your bracelet was priced at slightly over $9,000,1 will pay you $10,000, okay?" said Xu Lei calmly.

"$10,000? Do you think you can settle the problem with just $10,000? Dream on. You disturbed my customers, affected my business, and caused a huge loss for my store. You can forget about leaving without paying $50,000!" said the fat shop owner coldly as he smiled. He thought Xu Lei and Ye Fan were pushovers and became greedy when they already offered fair compensation.

Then he got two of his men to block the entrance, and it all seemed rather terrifying.

"Are...are you trying to extort us?" said Xu Lei angrily.

The shop owner wanted them to compensate $50,000 for something worth $10,000.

What a brilliant move!

"You shouldn't say that, Miss. You were the ones who broke the bracelet. Those rich friends of yours left because you got into an argument about it, right? Since you broke my goods and ruined my business, I'm kind enough to only ask for $50,000. Are you unwilling to pay up now?" said the fat shop owner as he smiled coldly.

Xu Lei was undoubtedly infuriated by this foul-mouthed old man before her. If this were Yunzhou, Xu Lei would have called her men over by now.

But they were in Yanjing after all, so Xu Lei was powerless here. Now that the fighting match was about to commence, she was dreadfully worried that she might hold Ye Fan back from his business, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger.

Yet Ye Fan stopped Xu Lei just as she was about to transfer the money by phone.

Xu Lei was shocked. Ye Fan hadn't batted an eyelid all this time, but he suddenly walked over and looked at the fat shop owner. Then Ye Fan said calmly, "If you were discreet and polite, we would have helped to compensate for the jade bracelet. But you were unreasonable, so you leave me with no choice. Since we weren't the ones who broke the bracelet, then we won't be paying $50,000 or a

single cent for that matter."

"You scoundrel! Do you want to default payment? There's a CCTV in my shop. If I call the cops, it won't be a mere question of paying up. Scum like you will probably have to get jailed for a few days!" cursed the fat shop owner angrily. Then he turned to order his staff to pull out the CCTV footage.

"I'd like to see if you can still shirk responsibility after you see the CCTV footage!" said the fat shop owner as he sneered coldly. But an employee who had gone through the CCTV footage came running out. "Boss, he really didn't break the bracelet. According to the CCTV, it was the sexily dressed woman who broke the bracelet. She deliberately threw it on the ground and framed this gentleman," said a slightly shorter young employee.

The shop owner immediately glared when he heard his employee's words and slapped him as he said, "Damn you! How dare you spout rubbish?" "Boss, it's true. Why don't you take a look for yourself?" said the employee indignantly.

The shop owner didn't believe him, so he went over for a look, but his face quickly turned dark after seeing the footage, and he seemed angry now. "How about that? Now can we leave?" asked Ye Fan coldly.

The shop owner wanted to take advantage of them but suffered a loss instead. If the shop owner quit while he was ahead, Ye Fan didn't mind letting Xu Lei compensate for the bracelet. But the shop owner became greedy and treated them like they were fools, so Ye Fan wasn't going to play nice.

"Leave? If you don't compensate, you can forget about leaving! You were the ones who broke the bracelet, so don't even think about shirking responsibility! Come over and surround them. If they don't pay, they can't leave!" said the fat shop owner sternly. Then he deleted the CCTV footage and destroyed the evidence!

It appeared as though even after proving Ye Fan's innocence, the fat shop owner didn't intend on letting them off.

Otherwise, he would have to shoulder the loss.

Ye Fan instantly turned cold. Then he said, "Are you going to force us now? You better carefully think before you do. Are you able to suffer the consequences?"

Ye Fan's cold voice sounded intensely angry as it quietly echoed through the room.

The fat shop owner instantly laughed and said, "Oh, are we pulling threats now? I have operated my business here for ten years, and even the district chief of Yanqi Lake respects me. Who do you think you are to threaten me? So what if I resort to force? So what if my men surround you? If you don't pay up to avoid disaster, I will keep you captive here and even sleep with your woman tonight! If you are capable of doing anything about it, then do it instead of just talking big. I will let you call as many people as you can and entertain you

to the end. Let's see who can gather more men!"
