A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 716 At Guangyue Restaurant
"Wow, really? Guangyue Restaurant? That's the finest restaurant in Jingzhou! Ao-Ting, are you really taking us there for dinner?" asked Lu Wen-Jing. Since she grew up in Jingzhou, she had heard plenty about Guangyue Restaurant.
Lu Wen-Jing often heard her rich classmates bragging after they ate at Guangyue Restaurant, so Lu Wen-Jing was surprised to hear Lei Ao-Ting wanted to take them there.
Lei Ao-Ting looked at the sheer delight on Lu Wen-Jing's face. Then he shook his head and smiled as he replied, "Jingjing, you silly lass. Gaining Mr Chu's favor is far luckier than eating at Guangyue Restaurant. He can enter the best restaurant in Jingzhou or even Jiangdong with just a flick of his hand. You can just stick with him and enjoy a good life from now on."
Despite Lei Ao-Ting's gentle smile, he sounded somewhat envious.
He didn't know what dumb luck this little lass had struck to gain the favor of Mr
Chu.
Mr Chu brought her everywhere he went!
Of course, Lei Ao-Ting was clueless that Ye Fan treated Lu Wen-Jing well mainly because of Qiu Mu-Cheng.
They got ready to head to Guangyue Restaurant as they chatted.
But before Ye Fan got into the car, he suddenly halted.
He turned to scour the place.
The place was filled with people walking in all directions.
Groups of friends were out for dinner while couples leaned against each other as they held hands and walked. There was heavy traffic, and the streets were bustling with activity since the holidays were around the corner. "Hmm? What's wrong, Mr Chu?" asked Lei Ao-Ting quizzically when he detected something amiss with Ye Fan. Ye Fan shook his and head and replied, "Nothing. Let's go."
He didn't linger after he failed to notice anything amiss. Then he followed Lei Ao-Ting up his car.
HUUUU!
The posh car cruised on the streets cutting through the cold wind like a hot knife slicing butter.
No one noticed the burly silhouette which quietly appeared after Ye Fan and the others left.
He looked ahead and stood still momentarily before he walked into the crowd.
In front of Guangyue Restaurant.
A Volvo slowly pulled up at the entrance.
Ye Tian and the others got off the car when the car door opened.
They had more or less wrapped up matters surrounding the car accident. All they needed to do was to pay Lei Ao-Ting.
But now was not the time to deal with it.
They had made plans to meet Ye Yu-Yan's teacher, Lu Tian-He. Buying Lu Tian-He dinner was top on their list of priorities, and all other minor things could wait.
But Ye Tian still felt furious when he recalled the traffic accident.
"It's such an unlucky day! It started out as a good day at first. Since we are buying Yu-Yan's teacher dinner to thank him for grooming her, we could also take the chance to get closer to him. But we ended up getting in a traffic accident!" said Ye Tian as he sighed.
"Uncle Tian, it's all Ye Fan's fault! I think he was angry that we didn't give him a lift, so he deliberately got Lei Ao-Ting to speed and trigger you. He suddenly stopped so that you would collide into his rear and scammed your money. Ye Fan is so evil and scheming!" said Ye Jian furiously as he pushed all the blame on Ye Fan.
Ye Ya chimed in, "That's right. The brat was awful when he was a kid. Now that he's grown up, he's still the same. I think neither of us should pay the $500,000. We should let Ye Fan cough it up instead!" Ye Ya and his son kept speaking ill of Ya Fan. The more Ye Tian thought about it, the angrier his felt, and his expression was very nasty.
His displeasure towards Ye Fan intensified even further.
Regardless of whether Ye Fan plotted the traffic accident or not, Ye Tian was furious at Ye Fan for turning a deaf ear and leaving his uncle to his own devices.
Dong Mei sighed and said, "I think we can't keep making things difficult for Ye Fan. I know you despised Fan since he was young and purposely kept a distance because you didn't want him to burden you down or harass you. But Fan is a proud and ambitious kid and might just succeed in the future. Or else, why would Young Master Lei befriend him?"
"Succeed my foot! He's just a live-in husband. How will he ever succeed?
Young Master Lei must be blind to befriend the likes of him," sneered Ye Tian coldly.
"Enough. Stop bringing up these infuriating things. Let's go over to Guangyue Restaurant and meet up with Yu-Yan and the others," said Ye Tian as he brought everyone into the restaurant.
Ye Yu-Yan had gone to the hotel to pick up Lu Tian-He personally.
"Oh yes. Tian, I almost forgot to ask. Don't you need a membership to get into Guangyue Restaurant? Average folks are unable to make reservations. How did you do it?"
After entering the restaurant, Ye Ya and the others were overwhelmed by its sheer opulence. They wondered how Ye Tian managed to get them seats at the restaurant.
Ye Tian sipped some tea before replying smugly, "I asked someone to do it for me. Although I'm not famous in the city, I have good repute in Dongyang County. Even though it is hard to reserve a table at Guangyue Restaurant, the richest man in Dongyang County can still get one!"
Ye Ya and the others suddenly realized how he managed to get them a table.
"But I didn't think we could only get a subpar table in the main hall when the richest tycoon in Dongyang County helped us to get it. How big shot do you have to be in order to use the private rooms in here?" sighed Ye Ya softly.
Although they were inside Guangyue Restaurant, it was clearly the worst table in the place.
"Ya, do you want to dine in one of Guangyue Restaurant's private rooms? You really have wild dreams here! I heard you need to be worth at least a billion in order to enter one. Only people like Master Lei San and the Jingzhou mayor can use the VVIP rooms on Guangyue Restaurant's top floor. We might have a name in the county, but in the city, we are considered nothing. If I can get to sit at the pinnacle of Guangyue Restaurant and dine with the likes of Master Lei San in my lifetime, it's worth dying for!" said Ye Tian in an envious tone as he sighed.
All men wanted in life was status and women.
Ye Tian was a mere human, so he couldn't help having such thoughts.
"Enough. Stop dreaming. Yu-Yan is at the door. Let's go over to greet them," said Dong Mei as she interrupted Ye Tian's daydreams.
Then the Ye family quickly got up and headed out.
