A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 653 Hall Filled with Shock

In a fit of rage, Li Er slapped Li Zi-Yang across the face.

There was a loud slapping sound as Li Zi-Yang spun three rounds on the spot before sprawling on the floor like a dog. The wine glass in his hand shattered and there was red wine all over the floor. This slap from Li Er was really hard.

Li Zi-Yang was completely stunned.

Even his head was ringing.

He looked at his father with a miserable face full of tears and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?! What the hell are YOU doing? You little bastard, how dare you simply insult just anyone like that! It's taken me so much to gain this tiny bit of favor from Mr Chu and you've wasted all of it! I've been known as an intelligent man all my life and I end up with a stupid son like you?!" Li Er was both terrified and furious at the same time.

He sounded like he had gone crazy when he shouted at Li Zi-Yang.

He had tried all means and ways to make sure Li Zi-Yang got to be the first one to make a toast to Mr Chu. Why did he do that?

He did that to help his son leave a good first impression on Mr Chu.

But Li Er never imagined that his son was so stupid. He didn't just leave a bad impression, he even shouted and insulted Mr Chu in front of everybody.

Li Er was so angry that he wished he could kick this son of his to death on the spot.

But while Li Er was busy being furious, Lei San and the rest were more than happy to see this.

After all, Li Er had been enjoying too much success recently.

Now that his son had offended Mr Chu and got into big trouble, that would help to keep Li Er's arrogance in check.

People like Lei San and Chen Ao who were fighting for power with Li Er were happy that this happened.

The head of the Ma family even walked out and sarcastically remarked, "Doesn't the apple normally not fall far from the apple tree? Looks like Mr Li's family is an exception." "He even dared to insult Mr Chu. This boy doesn't know how to behave and is so badly brought up. If my son were like that, I'd break his legs!" said Ma Fei coldly.

Li Er's expression darkened and he was so angry that he kicked Li Zi-Yang.

Ma Fei quickly took this chance to yell out, "Ming-Bo, don't wait at the back, hurry up and come out to toast Mr Chu!"

"Coming, Dad!" Ma Ming-Bo quickly came out when he heard his father calling out and walked over with a glass of red wine.

He walked past everyone with a face filled with pride and a bright smile.

He even boastfully smiled at Su Qian when he walked past her table.

Then he puffed his chest out, looked up and walked towards the stage.

Ma Ming-Bo had never seen Mr Chu before, but he was sure that the person standing at the highest position among all the important people in front had to be Mr Chu.

So he immediately looked towards the group of important people near the stage.

But when he spotted who it was on the stage, he immediately let out a 'what the fuck'.

"It's you?! You countryside louse, how dare you?! It's one thing to sneak your way into the Feast of the Sea and Sky, but now you even dare to take the highest seat in the house? Aren't you bloody getting lost?!"

After Ma Ming-Bo yelled at Ye Fan, he turned to look at his own father. "Dad, quickly call security and throw this asshole out. This little bastard is just a country bumpkin, so how could a grand banquet for the rich and powerful like this one allow a louse to come in?" said Ma Ming-Bo with utter disgust in his voice.

The air in the room was silent again.

Lei Ao-Ting's eyelids twitched again as he also put a thumbs up for Ma Ming-Bo.

This guy had some balls too!

Just after Ma Ming-Bo said these words, Ma Fei's gleeful face after laughing at Li Er immediately turned livid and his heart was filled with fear.

"You little son of a bitch! I'll bloody kill you!"

But before Ma Fei could do anything, Li Er beat him to it and slapped Ma Ming-Bo across the face.

The sound of the slap shook the restaurant a few times.

Ma Ming-Bo went flying and his nose started bleeding as he landed on the floor.

"What poor upbringing you have! How dare you insult Mr Chu! If I were your father, I'd break your legs!" yelled Li Er angrily. Then he turned to Ma Fei and smiled faintly. "Mr Ma, your son didn't know how to behave and offended Mr Chu, so I'll help you to teach him a lesson, I hope you don't mind."

Ma Fei's eyes twitched and he started cursing all of Li Er's family.

But while he was cursing inside, Ma Fei smiled back and said, "I don't mind at all. This rebellious son of mine deserves to be hit, so you've done the right thing."

With that, Ma Fei slapped a palm across Li Zi-Yang's face.

Li Zi-Yang had just managed to stand up when he got slapped onto the floor again.

"Ma Fei, you...!" Li Er glared at him and cursed him inside.

But Ma Fei just replied calmly, "Mr Li, I was afraid you might not bear to discipline your boy, so I thought I'd help you teach him a lesson, I hope you don't mind."

Li Er's eyes twitched. There was nothing he could do except smile, agree, then turn and kicked Ma Ming-Bo.

"What?! Again?!" Ma Fei's entire face twitched and slapped Li Zi-Yang again.

"Ao-Ting, what are you waiting for? Give a toast to Mr Chu!" Lei San quickly hurried his own son since Li Er and Ma Fei were busy trying to hit each other's sons silly.

Lei Ao-Ting snapped out of his daze and quickly walked over to Ye Fan with a smile in his eyes, "Mr Chu, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. May Mr Chu continue to shake the nation with your name and be a hero among heroes in this new year!"

With Lei Ao-Ting right in front, all the other children from rich and powerful families came up to give a toast as well.

"I represent my father, Wang Jie-Xi of Haozhou, to toast Mr Chu! Happy new year, Mr Chu!" "Happy new year, Mr Chu!

Youngster after youngster came out from behind the hall to present a toast to Ye Fan.

Finally, it came to the Xia sisters. When they saw how Ye Fan stood right at the peak and accepted the toasts from the people in front of them...

PIANG! The wine glass in Xia Yue's hands fell to the floor.

"Why...why is it him?!" Xia Yue's face was pale as she remained rooted to the floor.

"Oh wow, sis, it's him! I told you this Ye Fan was no ordinary person. I can't believe I got it right!" Xia Xue was also shocked, but her shock soon turned into joy as she skipped along and ran towards Ye Fan. "Hello! I'm Xia Xue, we met before this. Are you really Mr Chu? I just knew you weren't an ordinary person when I first saw you! I'll represent my family in giving you this toast!"

Xia Xue was lively and adorable like a little bunny as she smiled and chatted with Ye

Fan.

But Xia Yue felt like there were lead weights in her legs.

She didn't dare to go anywhere near Ye Fan now.

Suddenly, the sound of a car stopping outside the restaurant was heard.

A civil servant came in through the door.

He shouted loudly towards the hall full of people.

"I come bearing a gift from the Provincial Committee Secretary of Jiangdong Province, He Lan-Shan!"

What?
