A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 100

Chen Ao's arrival had created huge waves among the assembled guests, and sent the already noisy house into further turmoil.

Within the courtyard, all the onlookers had already gone mad with excitement.

"Good heavens!"

"Even Chen Ao is here?"

"What is going on? Half of the bosses of Jiangdong have all come here."

"Even the mayor's mother's birthday was a more subdued affair, right?"

"What's going on with the Hans?"

Clearly, the events at the Han's family house had already shocked everyone in town.

At this moment, numerous townsfolk were running toward the Han's family house. They were eager to find out what was going on. Was there an elite person among the Hans? Why had half of the bosses of Jiangdong come to pay their respects? And how come an unknown town like theirs had become the meeting place for all the leaders in Jiangdong?

However, after they had arrived at the house, they discovered that the bosses of the prefecture-level cities were not here to celebrate Madam Han's birthday. Instead, they were here for the birthday of Qiu Mu-Cheng, the old madam's least favorite granddaughter.

And once the townsfolk had understood the situation, they got even more shocked.

"Damn!"

"The VIPs came for them?"

"Isn't she Madam Han's least favorite granddaughter?"

"Isn't her husband a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law?"

"But, just now, they wanted both husband and wife to go down on their knees?"

"Could it be that they are the true dragons of the Han family?"

When they heard the comments of the onlookers, the Hans turned deathly pale.

Han Hai, Han Yu and the other Hans were in a panic. Even now, they still found it hard to believe that Chen Ao had come in person.

Madam Han's face was trembling. Earlier, when Chen Ao announced his arrival, she had gotten so frightened that she nearly fell off her chair.

Just then, the Hans were behaving themselves and they did not dare to speak a single word. They just stood there with panicked faces as they looked dazedly at the scene before them.

"Mr. Chu, I heard today is your wife's birthday. So I set off from home early with my daughter. But, unexpectedly, I am still the last one to arrive."

"Quick, Nan-Nan. What are you standing there for? Come over here and pay your respects to Mr. Chu."

Within the hall, Chen Ao was all smiles as he spoke reverently to Ye Fan. And then, he called his daughter over.

But Chen Nan felt a little embarrassed to see Ye Fan again, and a hint of panic could be seen on her exquisite face.

"Good... Good day to you, Mr. Chu."

"What... What happened last night was my fault. Please forgive me."

Chen Nan lowered her head and apologized to Ye Fan.

However, Ye Fan simply waved his hand dismissively and smiled. "It was nothing. I don't blame you. On the contrary, I admire your pride and indomitable spirit."

Last night, Chen Nan had left a deep impression on Ye Fan.

Especially since this girl had refused to back down, even while she was getting rebuked by her father and even after finding out his identity. Chen Nan's stubbornness reminded Ye Fan of his wife.

Chen Nan was overjoyed when she heard that she had been forgiven.

She had assumed that Ye Fan would take the opportunity to insult her. But to her surprise, not only did he not scold her, he was treating her with friendliness.

A bright smile appeared on Chen Nan's pretty face and she asked, "Mr. Chu, have you really forgiven me?"

"Mm," Ye Fan nodded and smiled. "And your father told me you are only nineteen this year. But you are already handling some of his business all by yourself. You are indeed young and capable. I am only older than you by a few years. So you can just call me Ye Fan. There is no need to call me Mr. Chu."

"Alright, Ye Fan."

"Hee hee~"

Chen Nan laughed happily.

"Mr. Chu, why are you standing here? Is there not enough seats here?”

"If this is the case, we should all go to Sheng Tian Restaurant. I, Chen Ao, will prepare a banquet for Madam Chu!"

Chen Ao had come late, so he did not know what had been happening here.

Ye Fan nodded. "Mm, this is thoughtful of you."

"But, before going, I have some matters to take care of.”

And then Ye Fan, who had been keeping quiet when the Hans were humiliating him, finally lifted his head to look at the disrespectful hosts. He smiled frostily as he stared at Madam Han, who was seated in the seat of honor, and the other panic-stricken Hans.

In the next moment, Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly and said, "For Mu-Cheng's sake, I will call you grandmother and uncle.”

"Grandmother. Uncle. And auntie. This is Chen Ao. You wanted Mu-Cheng and I to kneel and apologize to him."

"Now, he is right here in front of you."

"You can go ahead and ask him. Have I done anything to ruin your grandson's career?!"

"Or have I done anything to make your son lose his job?!!"

"Ask him! Have I done anything to make the Han family lose their place in Jianghai?!!!”

Ye Fan lashed out with a series of questions and they resounded thunderously through the air.

Whenever Ye Fan asked a question, he would take a step forward. His voice rang out powerfully, like a rock striking the ground, and his authoritative presence made him seem like a force of nature sweeping through the place.

Under Ye Fan's questioning, the Hans blushed and were rendered speechless.

Han Yu and her family were trembling all over with their mouths agape. They could not get a single word out and looked like chickens who were being strangled.

And Han Hai was panicking. He was so overwhelmed by Ye Fan's presence that he stumbled several steps back.

As for Madam Han, her face had turned deathly pale. Her legs had gotten so weak

that she nearly fell off her chair.
