A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 637 Ye Fan Steps Up

HUUUU...

A cold wind blew past the peak of Mount Yunyang.

Xu Chang-Qing's complacent words continued to echo through the hall.

Chen Nan's face was pale and she looked a little frightened by Xu Chang-Qing's aggressive words.

She was still young after all, and she was a little fearful after hearing Xu Chang-Qing's cold and threatening words.

But at the same time, at least now they knew why Xu Chang-Qing was doing this to them.

So all of this was because of Ma Ming-Bo.

"Miss Chen, this way please." Xu Chang-Qing stretched his arm out towards the exit.

He was clearly chasing them away now.

"Chen Nan, you asked for it, that's not my fault. If you need to blame someone, then you'd have to blame yourself for offending me for the sake of a country bumpkin," said Ma Ming-Bo as he looked coldly at Chen Nan even though he was gleeful inside.

He felt as though the unhappiness in his heart had been vindicated.

Su Qian smiled and happily watched this scene unfold.

Ye Fan had been so arrogant of late and insisted that he wasn't afraid of anybody else. He even dared to speak loudly and quarrel with her best friend.

Su Qian wanted to replace a chance to help her best friend to splash cold water on Ye Fan's arrogance, so now that Ye Fan's pillar of support had collapsed, she was more than happy to watch him crumble. "This stupid idiot. That's what you get for not listening to Mu-Cheng. Now you know that it's no use counting on others all the time to throw your weight about, right?" laughed Su Qian quietly as she just continued enjoying the show.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng had no expression on her face and kept silent.

Her eyes continued to focus on Ye Fan.

"Even the daughter of Chen Ao knows that she has to give in when faced with a stronger power than herself. Ye Fan, you should finally understand what I've been trying to tell you, right?" thought Qiu Mu- Cheng to herself as she looked coldly at Ye Fan.

Everyone else in the hall shook their heads and sighed as they looked sympathetically at the three of them.

Was Chen Nan from a powerful background?

She was.

But she was now faced with someone from an even more powerful background.

Chen Nan had no choice but to retreat.

"Sigh. Miss Chen, let's leave," sighed Shen Fei. He knew there was no way out of this, so he turned to leave.

Chen Nan's face was pale but she knew that arguing any further would only make things uglier. So she too, turned to follow Shen Fei down the mountain. "Brother Fan, let's go. It can't be helped -the Xu family is a big shot and Jiangdong is too tiny," said Shen Fei disappointedly as he looked at Ye Fan.

If Xu Chang-Qing wasn't someone all the way from Yanjing, then even if Chen Ao's name didn't work, Ye Fan's identity as Mr Chu would have resolved this. But Xu Chang-Qing's background was simply too powerful.

He was from a powerful family in the capital, so both Shen Fei and Chen Nan felt that using Mr Chu wasn't going to do anything about Xu Chang-Qing. After all, Mr Chu was only reputable in Jiangdong.

Even Chen Ao was just an ant to Xu Chang-Qing.

Ye Fan was greater than Chen Ao, but he'd just be a bigger any to Xu Chang-Qing and not worth anything much.

Shen Fei and Chen Nan gave up and got ready to go home.

But Ye Fan didn't look like he was going anywhere.

He continued sitting where he was even after Shen Fei called out to him and even took a slice of watermelon from the buffet table and started eating it leisurely.

"He's seriously from the countryside and hasn't seen the world. Before going, he's got to cram one last slice of watermelon, huh?" Ma Ming-Bo snorted immediately upon seeing Ye Fan reach for the watermelon. He looked at Ye Fan like Ye Fan was an idiot.

"He's seriously so embarrassing." Su Qian rolled her eyes and didn't know what to say.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was so angry that her face was livid.

"Brother Fan, don't eat anymore, let's go. He's already chasing us out. If you want to eat, there's plenty at home, we can eat at home," Shen Fei half pleaded with Ye Fan as his eyes twitched.

"You want to leave? But why? In Jiangdong, only I get to chase others away, why is anybody chasing me away?" Ye Fan looked up with a cold glint in his eyes as his authoritative words rang through the hall. Shen Fei almost died of fright when he heard this response and whispered, "Brother Fan, that's quite enough. This Xu Chang-Qing is from a powerful family in Yanjing and our Jiangdong background cannot rival his. He's from the almighty capital and we're from tiny Jiangdong, so we can't afford to offend him." Shen Fei was already pale and trembling.

"That's right, Fan. You can always get back at him another time. I'm sure you'd definitely be powerful in all of China in less than ten years! When that time comes, even all these people from Yanjing would be afraid of you. But for now, we can't win him, so we'd better go. It's better not to act rashly for the sake of our own pride, otherwise we'll get into more trouble," chimed in Chen Nan.

She felt that even if Ye Fan could settle Xu Chang-Qing today, he would have to face the wrath of the Xu family after that.

"It's better not to go against a power bigger than ourselves! Fan, let's go," Chen Nan continued to persuade him.

But Ye Fan looked like he hadn't heard anything. He remained seated and smiled, "A powerful family from Yanjing? Is that very amazing? To me, this Xu Chang-Qing and Ma Ming-Bo are no different from those birds and animals in the wild. They'll break with one strike of the sword!"

What the...!

"Who is this guy?!" "He's really bold!" "Even the daughter of Chen Ao is afraid but this man isn't afraid at all?"

"Doesn't he have any regard for the powerful families of Yanjing?"

Ye Fan's words caused an uproar in the hall.

Everyone around him was in a frenzy.

They all looked in shock at Ye Fan.

"Brother Fan, what on earth are you saying?!" Shen Fei was shuddering from fear while Chen Nan's face was now void of color.

"What the hell?! This asshole! Will he die if he doesn't make such boastful statements?! He's going to get Mu-Cheng killed one of these days!" muttered Su Qian under her breath. Her face was livid and she was stunned by Ye Fan's words.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was even more horrified and her heart was disappointed.

She didn't expect Ye Fan to have become

like this.

He was ignorant, self-centered and ridiculously arrogant.

"Ye Fan, you really, really disappoint me." Qiu Mu-Cheng closed her eyes and her heart was close to despair.

She was going to give up on Ye Fan soon.

As expected, Xu Chang-Qing's arrogant and handsome face immediately turned icy upon hearing these words.

He stared at Ye Fan frostily.

"Punk, it looks like you're tired of living. Do you know who I am and what I represent?" Xu Chang-Qing's voice was quiet and cold, but it was clear that fury was spewing from within him.

Ye Fan laughed and he lifted his clean cut face to look at Xu Chang-Qing.

His eyes instantly became icy cold!

'Xu Chang-Qing, these are questions that I

should be asking you!!!"
