A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 518

Was it possible that Ye Fan didn't know how Xu Lei felt about him?

Of course not!

But so what if he knew?

Ye Fan was now burdened with too many things. He didn't dare to accept these feelings and really wasn't able to.

Otherwise, he was only implicating her.

And so, Ye Fan limited his relationship with Xu Lei to that of siblings.

At the same time, he also hoped that Xu Lei could find someone she could spend her days with.

If he really couldn't make it back after he went to the Chu family, at least Qiu Mu-Cheng had her parents

But Xu Lei would have nobody if he was gone.

But Xue Ren-Yang quietly shook his head after hearing Ye Fan's words.

"After finding the best person possible, it's hard to be attracted to another. I suppose from the moment Miss Xu fell for Dragon Master, she probably doesn't have anymore space in her heart for someone else," sighed Xue Ren-Yang to himself.

He didn't try to persuade Ye Fan any further, since things didn't always work out perfectly in this world.

How many people truly ended up with the love of their lives?

There were always all sorts of reasons for people to miss the chance to be with each other.

Perhaps feeling regret was really the normal way to live.

"By the way, Longyang, have you sent out the invitation card I asked you to?” Ye Fan didn't want to think about this anymore and changed the topic.

Xue Ren-Yang nodded. "Yes, Dragon Master. I've sent the invitation card to the Li family as per your instructions. Miss Li will be sent to the highest building in Yanjing, Great China Building!"

At the Li's hotel on the outskirts of Yanjing.

Li Lu-Bin and his family were eating lunch.

Li Yuan and her family were chatting away happily, but Li Xiao-Hong was just eating quietly without saying anything.

She had come to Yanjing for a while now, but she was still like a stranger to this family and couldn't fit it.

Li Yuan looked down on her because she was from the countryside and called her unhygienic and refused to eat with her.

As a result, Li Xiao-Hong didn't even have the right to eat at the table. She had to wait till Li Yuan and Sun Li-Ping finished eating before Li Xiao-Hong got to eat their leftovers.

And even so, Li Yuan and her mother still felt that Li Xiao-Hong got lucky.

"Any item on this table is very expensive, so even if it's leftovers, it's still better than whatever you country bumpkins have. So you'd better learn to be content."

That was what Li Yuan said to Li Xiao-Hong that day.

It was really hurtful, and most people might not have been able to accept this sort of humiliation.

But Li Xiao-Hong had a weak personality and didn't protest no matter how tough life was. She didn't have the ability to either. She was of lowly birth and limited ability, so she didn't have a choice besides going along with whatever came her way.

But thankfully, Li Lu-Bin still had a conscience. So after defending his daughter, Li Yuan and her mother agreed to let Li Xiao-Hong eat at the table, but she only got a small table and a small plate of sides. Besides those items, they didn't allow her to take from the shared dishes, because they were afraid Li Xiao-Hong might 'pollute' them.

"Daddy, do you know Mr Chu?" Li Yuan asked casually at the table.

LI Lu-Bin ate and nodded, "Yes, I do."

Even though she found out later that the rusty tripod was worth millions and she was so upset for several days, that was about it!

She just thought that Ye Fan got lucky and happened to pick up a treasure.

To her, Ye Fan and Li Xiao-Hong were just scum from the countryside.

Li Lu-Bin never told the two ladies about what happened at Wolong Hotel, so they didn't know anything either.

"Then who are you talking about?" Li Lu-Bin asked.

"I'm talking about the king of Yanjing right now, Mr Chu!"

What?

"The king of Yanjing?" Li Lu-Bin was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and the rice inside fell out.

"That's right. You don't know about it, do you? I heard from Xiao-Tian that this Mr Chu is really amazing. He's got the Lin and Zhao family under his feet. All the rich and powerful of Yanjing have recognized him as their leader. He's now the leader of the corporate world of Yanjing," sighed Li Yuan dreamily.

"My goodness, are you serious? This Mr Chu is amazing! What's he like? Have you seen him before? What does he look like? Where does he stay? We've got to visit him and send some presents to him." Li Lu-Bin had been in business for many years, and he was very familiar with making connections.

Since a new king had ascended the throne, then even though the Li family didn't own a bit business, giving presents to prove their loyalty was still effective in drawing them closer.

"I don't know about that, but I know that everyone calls him Mr Chu."

Li Yuan just shook her head, but once she said those words, Li Xiao-Hong started getting excited.

Her face was a little red and there was an excited and overjoyed gleam in her eyes.

"Dad, I know. It must be him. It's definitely him. It must be Mr Chu!"
