A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 703 Who's the Groom?

"Mr...Mr...Ch-Ch-Chu?"

When he saw Ye Fan standing before him, Lei Ao-Ting felt like he had been struck by lightning and he was so frightened, his soul nearly left him.

Lei Ao-Ting felt that this had to be the biggest joke that life played on him.

Back in Jianghai, in order to help a friend, Lei Ao-Ting offended Ye Fan.

Later in Yunzhou, Lei Ao-Ting tried to help another friend, and offended Ye Fan again.

Who would have known that Lei Ao-Ting would help yet another friend in his own territory and actually offend Ye Fan once more?

Lei Ao-Ting's mind went blank and he was on the verge of tears.

"Looks like Young Master Lei still remembers me. I thought that you might have forgotten me in the long list of people you come into contact with. I don't think it's been that long since that incident in Yunzhou, so I got a little upset. Did Young Master Lei forget my words of advice already? Have you left it at the back of your mind so quickly?"

Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at Lei Ao-Ting.

His teasing gaze continued to look at Lei Ao-Ting with a faint smile.

But the more Ye Fan behaved so amicably, the more terrified Lei Ao-Ting became.

He could feel a terrible chill down his spine.

His white shirt was already drenched in cold sweat.

"How...how could that be? I will always remember what you have said before and I won't dare to forget it."

"Is that so? Then why are you here right now? Aren't you here precisely to stand up for someone and bash me up?" asked Ye Fan with a cold smile.

Lei Ao-Ting's face twitched and he became even more terrified. There was none of his arrogance earlier.

Even his own father had to bow to this man like he was an ancestor of theirs, never mind one mere Lei Ao-Ting.

Furthermore, just a few days back, his own uncle had offended Ye Fan, and now his uncle was dead. After that happened, Lei Ao-Ting was even more fearful and reverent towards Ye Fan.

He squeezed an ingratiating smile out. "I...I wouldn't dare...Mr Chu, you are really humorous. I'm here to attend my friend's wedding. That's all. I didn't intend to stand up for anyone and I'm going to be a calm and quiet person like you said."

Lei Ao-Ting's trembling and fearful behavior made everyone around him look at him in shock.

"Yu-Yan, what...what is going on? Did something go wrong with Young Master Lei's head or something? Why is he being so polite towards Ye Fan?" Ye Jian's eyes were huge as he watched this scene unfold in disbelief.

Ye Yu-Yan was equally stunned. She shook her head and looked extremely confused.

Qin Yu was even more puzzled. He walked up to Lei Ao-Ting and said, "Ao-Ting, what's going on? Did you get the wrong guy? This fellow's surname is Ye, and his name is Ye Fan. He's just a live-in son-in-law, so he's not worth being respectful to. Besides, this useless piece of trash made trouble at my wedding, so you have to help me to throw him out."

WHAT THE...

"You just bloody shut your trap!"

Lei Ao-Ting felt like he nearly died when he heard what Qin Yu said.

In his fright, he immediately slapped Qin Yu across the face so hard that he fell to the floor.

After he had slapped Qin Yu, Lei Ao-Ting continued to bend over backwards just to apologize to Ye Fan, "Mr Ch-I mean, Mr Ye, my friend is getting married today and he goes a little crazy when he's too happy. Please don't stoop to his level, I've already taught him a lesson for you."

Lei Ao-Ting was pretty smart too. He didn't know why Mr Chu went around telling others his surname was Ye, but Mr Chu definitely had his reasons and it was probably to hide his real identity.

Lei Ao-Ting wasn't stupid, so he went along with Ye Fan and started to call him 'Mr Ye' instead.

Ye Fan nodded and smiled. "Oh I see. On account of Young Master Lei, I'll let him off this once."

"But Young Master Lei said earlier that you're here for a wedding, right? Whose wedding is it?" asked Ye Fan slowly. His words sounded a little sly.

Lei Ao-Ting had no clue what was happening, so he replied honestly, "I'm here to attend this friend's wedding. His name is Qin Yu, and he's marrying Miss Du

Wen-Ya today."

"Nonsense!" Ye Fan cut him off with a shout as his eyes turned cold even before Lei Ao-Ting could finish what he wanted to say.

Lei Ao-Ting was so scared that his legs trembled and he was about to cry soon.

He had no idea what he said wrong this time.

"Lei Ao-Ting, you say you're here for your friend, Qin Yu, and Miss Du Wen-Ya's wedding? Then why did I receive news that it's my friend, Shin Yu-Xiang, and Miss Du Wen-Ya's wedding?" "Wha...what?" Lei Ao-Ting was stunned and couldn't get his head around what was happening. What did Ye Fan mean by that?

Shin Yu-Xiang was also a little stunned and wasn't sure what Ye Fan was up to now.

"That's bullshit! Wen-Ya is marrying ME today! Not Shin Yu-Xian! These two assholes are here to steal my bride!" Qin

Yu picked himself off the floor and started yelling angrily when he heard what Ye Fan said.

"Nonsense! Qin Yu, I think you're the one who's confused. The wedding today is clearly between Mr Ye's friend, Shin Yu-Xiang and Miss Du Wen-Ya. What has it got to do with you? This joke isn't funny!" Lei Ao-Ting tried to hint at Qin Yu with his eyes as he said these words. He had figured out the situation after what Qin Yu said earlier.

But Qin Yu didn't get the message and asked confusedly, "Ao-Ting, what do you mean by that? My name is written on the wedding invitation and my family came up with the money for the wedding. I'm the groom, so when did it suddenly become Shin Yu-Xiang?" Qin Yu couldn't understand.

All the friends and relatives of the Qin family were equally confused.

Did Young Master Lei suddenly become stupid or something?

"You..." Lei Ao-Ting realized that Qin Yu didn't get the hint, so he walked over, pulled Qin Yu aside and whispered a few things into his ear.

"What? You mean he's...he's..." Qin Yu's face instantly turned pale after that and his heart was filled with terror. He looked like he had just been struck by lightning.

"Now do you know who the groom is today?" Lei Ao-Ting asked Qin Yu again after he was don whispering.

This time, Qin Yu didn't dare to say anything else. He just clenched his teeth and nodded heavily. "Ao-Ting, you're right. The groom at today's wedding is Shin Yu-Xiang."

"Wha-what?" Ye Jian was stunned.

"Qin Yu, what's wrong with you? It's your wedding today, isn't it?" asked Ye Jian with a wide stare.

"Exactly! Qin Yu, what's wrong?" Ye Yu-Yan was both angry and agitated.

Qin Yu shook his head and laughed along, "Oh no no that was just a joke. The groom today isn't me, it's Mr Ye's friend, Shin Yu-Xiang. Mr Ye, I was just joking with you just now, I hope you don't mind." Qin Yu was also a very adaptable man. Once he found out who Ye Fan really was, he immediately ran up to butter Ye Fan up.

Ye Fan nodded and smiled as he patted Qin Yu's shoulder. "Oh, so it was just a joke. I thought you were really going to snatch my buddy's woman away."

"Haha, how could I possibly do that? Miss Du and Mr Shin are a match made in heaven. I'm more than happy to give them my blessing, why would I try to snatch Miss Du away?" Qin Yu laughed along awkwardly.

But nobody knew how miserably Qin Yu was crying inside despite his bright and cheery smile outside.

"is that so? Since Young Master Qin is so happy to see my buddy get married to Wen-Ya, then why don't you be the witness to their wedding? It's a wonderful chance to witness the holy matrimony of a couple made for one another. What do you think, Young Master Qin?" said Ye Fan as he smiled faintly. That smile was so very sly.

"This..." Qin Yu's eyelids twitched and his expression instantly fell.
