A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 713 It's You Ye Fan!
"Do you a favor?" asked Lei Ao-Ting as he instantly laughed when he heard Ye Tian.
"Who do you think you are? How can you have the cheek to ask me for a favor? I tell you, there's no wriggling out of this today! You must compensate me with a new car! Since you were the one who caused trouble, you have to suffer the consequences!" said Lei Ao-Ting as his cold voice echoed through the air. Despite the mere few lines he said, it sounded like a death sentence to Ye Tian's family.
Ye Tian's face instantly turned pale as he went into shock. He almost wanted to kick Ye Jian to death.
If Ye Jian hadn't instigated him, he wouldn't have driven so quickly and end up causing such huge trouble!
Dong Mei instantly lost all hope too. She couldn't help but blame Ye Tian. Why did he have to show off by speeding while he was on the road?
But this wasn't the time for Dong Mei to gripe. Instead, she looked at Ye Tian and said sadly, "Hurry up and come up with something. If you aren't important enough, do you know anyone important enough in your circles to help intercede?"
As the saying went, if they could replace the right man, they could tackle this problem more effectively.
Ye Tian could only try to replace someone acquainted with the Lei family or more influential than them to intercede as a middle-man.
Or else, Ye Tian's family would have to sell everything they owned to buy Lei Ao-Tian a new Bentley if he was serious about it.
"You make it sound so easy. Those people we know might seem like big shots to average folk, but they can't compare to the Lei family. They are useless to us now," said Ye Tian bitterly while he sighed. Those friends of Ye Tian might be influential in Dongyang County, but they had absolutely no weight in the city.
Since the Lei family didn't care about Ye
Tian, why would they care about his peers?
"Oh yes. Get Yu-Yan to call her teacher. The Lei family might be more afraid of her teacher," said Ye Tian as he recalled his daughter's teacher amid the panic.
But Ye Yu-Yan shook her head and replied, "Dad, my teacher just got to Jingzhou, so he's on unfamiliar territory here. Since barely anyone knows of his prestige yet, he probably won't be much use here." "Yu-Yan, why don't you give it a shot? What if it works? Otherwise, our family has to shoulder a $5 million debt," said Ye Tian sadly.
Considering how much trouble her father was in, Ye Yu-Yan helplessly called her teacher.
After Lu Tian-He learned of their predicament, he thought he was unlikely to be of any use and replied, "Yu-Yan, I have never spoken to anyone from the Lei family, so I probably won't be any help but I will do my best to intercede. Hand the phone over to him."
Then Ye Yu-Yan handed her phone to Lei Ao-Ting.
"What? Did you replace someone to help you plead for mercy? Let's see what kind of big shot you found?" sneered Lei Ao-Ting before he took the phone from her.
"Huh? Are you a major general from the army? And I am the bloody General Marshall from ancient times! How dare a nobody like you try to step forward and help him?" shouted Lei Ao-Ting furiously. Their last ray of hope was swiftly doused too.
"What now? Are we really paying him for a new car?" asked Dong Mei while she and her husband were in shock. Ye Jian kept up a guilty silence, but a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Ye Jian walked over to Ye Tian and said, "Uncle Tian, I suddenly recalled that Ye Fan knows Young Master Lei. Ye Fan was able to escape unscathed after wreaking havoc at the Qin family's wedding because of Young Master Lei."
What?
"Are you talking about Ye Fan? You must be kidding! How could a live-in husband know someone like Young Master Lei?" asked Ye Tian as he swiftly glared in disbelief.
"Uncle Tian, it's true. Yu-Yan witnessed everything too. Ye Fan might have worked as the Lei family's bodyguard or something. You know how strong Ye Fan is. Since he's great at fighting, he probably used to be one of Young Master Lei's goons," continued Ye Jian.
Ye Yu-Yan nodded in agreement to back Ye Jian up.
"Like you said, even if they were acquainted, Ye Fan was probably just a servant in the Lei family. How could he help us? What bloody use is he to us?" said Ye Tian in disdain as he shook his head. "Why don't you just try? What if it works?" persuaded Dong Mei from the side.
Out of sheer desperation, Ye Tian called his older sister, Ye Xi-Mei, to ask her for Ye Fan's phone number and called him.
After Ye Tian called for a long time, no one answered.
"This brat, I can't bloody rely on him when I need him the most! I'm not calling him anymore!" said Ye Tian with his face livid. He stopped placing any hopes on Ye Fan.
Instead, he continued begging Lei Ao-Ting.
"Young Master Lei, that's an impossible feat for us! We can't afford to buy a $5 million car even if we sold everything we own. Tell me, what would it take for you to let us off?" implored Ye Tian tragically.
"I might just let you off. I told you, there's a big shot sitting in my car. It's no big deal wrecking my car, compared to the shock you gave him. If he forgives you, I won't make things hard on you and just lower the damages, so you don't have to buy me a brand new car," said Lei Ao-Ting slowly.
Ye Tian and the others were instantly overjoyed to hear this. They felt like drowning men holding onto their last ray of hope.
They stepped forward to apologize without hesitation.
"Sir, do you mind opening the car window?"
"We are so sorry about causing the accident and giving you such a shock, sir."
"I brought my family to apologize to you."
"Sir, I hope you can have the magnanimity to forgive us. Please help us by telling Young Master Lei to lower the damages."
Ye Tian and the others kept apologizing reverently.
The car window opened to reveal a young lady's mischievous smiling face.
"Hmm? You are..." said Ye Tian and the others the moment they caught sight of Lu Wen-Jing.
Everyone stared fixedly at Lu Wen-Jing and saw Ye Fan sitting next to her.
"Oh my god! Ye Fan? It's you?!" shouted Ye Jian right away.
Ye Tian was both shocked and furious.
He didn't expect that the person he had been begging all this time was Ye Fan, whom they despised the most.
"Ye Fan, what are you doing here? Didn't you hear me calling you on the phone? Hurry up and get down from the car! Can't you see that your uncle has gotten into a traffic accident? How can you have the bloody heart to listen to music and sit in the car calmly? How could the likes of you be my nephew?" roared Ye Tian furiously.
Ye Tian was beside himself with fury.
Ye Fan hid in the car and watched Ye Tian make a laughingstock of himself while he anxiously begged for Lei Ao-Ting's mercy.
