A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 620 The Last Time

Old Mrs Su kept lecturing Su Qian.

But Ma Ming-Bo laughed gently and said, "Granny, why are you talking about this again? Why don't we talk about something else? Granny, next year I will get posted to Yunzhou. We are planning to expand our operations into Yunzhou. Since it means I can get to see you more often, I volunteered to run the Yunzhou branch office. When the time comes, I can see you and Qianqian more easily."

"Oh, really? That's fantastic," said Old Mrs Su. She was instantly delighted to know that Ma Ming-Bo was getting posted to Yunzhou.

Then Ma Ming-Bo and Su Qian could see each other more often, and it would undoubtedly help improve their relationship.

"Have you found a place to stay? If you can't replace anywhere good, I'll get Yuan-Shan to help," said Old Mrs Su concernedly. Ma Ming-Bo shook his head and replied,

"Granny, I'm good. I bought a place at the foot of Mount Yunding, Wangyun Villa."

What?

"Wangyun Villa?"

"That's one of the best villa estates in Yunzhou."

"A single bungalow there is worth at least $200 or $300 million, right?"

"It's second only to Mount Yunding Villa in opulence, right?"

"Ming-Bo is really loaded"

Everyone in the Su family got excited when they heard he purchased a house at Wangyun Villa Estate.

Su Qian's younger cousin shouted out loud straight away in envy.

Although Yuanshan Group was worth a market value of nearly $100 million, it was merely what the market fetched and was in fact an overstatement.

In any case, it was impossible for the Su family to buy a villa worth a few hundred million.

"$300 million?" asked Ma Ming-Bo as he shook his head, "That was its previous price. It's increased a lot more by now, so the cheapest unit fetches $500 million."

Despite Ma Ming-Bo's nonchalant tone, everyone was shocked to hear the market price.

"At the foot of Mount Yunding? Doesn't that mean you will live below Mr Chu and be neighbors?"

When Mr Chu bought the entire Mount Yunding scenic zone for $50 billion, the news shook Yunzhou to its core.

Old Mrs Su naturally knew about it.

She was even more surprised to hear that Wangyun Villa was located directly below Mount Yunding Villa.

Ma Ming-Bo proudly smiled as he nodded and replied, "Yes, Granny. Everyone wants to be neighbors with Mr Chu, so the Wangyun Villa price soared like crazy. I only managed to get my hands on this unit because of my connections. I just got the bungalow a few days ago, and most of my furniture is here. If Granny wants to see it, I can take you there tonight. Maybe we might even bump into Mr Chu?" "Yes yes! Ming-Bo, I want to see it," begged Su Qian's younger cousin as she ran over before Old Mrs Su could reply.

Old Mrs Su smiled and said, "Alright then, if you want to go, we can go after dinner with Ming-Bo. The youngsters especially have to go and see how you compare to Ming-Bo. In the future, all of you must try to be as outstanding as Ming-Bo!"

Old Mrs Su's laughter echoed through the hall.

After Old Mrs Su agreed to let them visit Wangyun Villa, the atmosphere clearly became more lively.

The Su family chatted nonstop and kept asking after Ma Ming-Bo and fawning over him.

Only Ye Fan was particularly quiet in contrast.

Only Su Yuan-Shan spoke to Ye Fan every now and then. The rest of the table seemed to be giving Ye Fan the cold shoulder, so no one talked to him. He looked so lonely!

The sight of this made Ma Ming-Bo even smugger in his heart. There was a faint look of being the winner in his eyes when he looked at Ye Fan now. The other Su family members glanced at Ye Fan every now and then only to shake their heads in contempt.

He was merely a toad lusting after Su Qian!

Now he must be feeling embarrassed.

The Su family members looked at him pitifully.

But Ye Fan didn't feel as dramatic as them in his heart.

He just kept his head down to drink tea and finished dinner quietly without uttering a word.

Ye Fan treated this affair as a business right from the beginning.

After the banquet, he would have nothing to do with these people at the dining table.

It was just a bunch of unrelated people. So why would Ye Fan care about their opinion of him?

Since he was busy enough, there was no point wasting his emotion and energy on these insignificant people.

The Su family banquet came to a close after everyone had their fill of food and drink.

After the banquet ended, many Su family members prepared to visit Ma Ming-Bo's bungalow at Wangyun Villa.

Ye Fan naturally prepared to leave.

After all, the show was over, so there was no sense for Ye Fan to linger.

"Ye Fan, are you leaving? Aren't you going over to Wangyun Villa for a look? If we're in luck, we can even bump into Mr Chu," said Su Yuan-Shan. Su Yuan-Shan felt very guilty towards Ye Fan for the other Su family members' contempt.

After all, Su Yuan-Shan was the one who invited Ye Fan over to help, but Ye Fan ended up getting insulted, so Su Yuan-Shan couldn't help feeling guilty. Ye Fan shook his head and replied, "No, thanks. Uncle Su, I'm busy, so I'm heading off."

"Alright. Since you insist on leaving, then I won't keep you. Liu, send Ye Fan back," said Su Yuan-Shan before ordering the chauffeur to send Fan home. Then that younger cousin of Su Qian's came walking over and told Ye Fan with disdain, "Hey you over there. Granny wants to see you."

"How can you speak so rudely to him. Call him your brother-in-law!" shouted Su Yuan-Shan angrily the moment he heard her.

Su Qian's younger cousin stuck her tongue out before taking off.

She turned to say as she ran, "Hurry up. Granny's waiting to see you."

But Ye Fan frowned.

What could Old Mrs Su need from him?

Ye Fan was reluctant to go from the bottom of his heart.

After all, he only agreed to help Su Yuan-Shan put on an act at the banquet for one night. Did he have to put on another show now?

Su Yuan-Shan bitterly smiled as he said deeply, "Just act one more time. I will return you the favor. When you go over, just listen to her and answer whatever she asks. Don't worry, Mom has a bad temper, but she doesn't put youngsters in a spot. Just remember not to argue with her. As for the rest, I will take care of it."

Ye Fan rolled his eyes as he said to Su Yuan-Shan, "Fine, this is the last time. I'm leaving after I finish chatting with Granny. No one can make me stay."
