A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 710

After that conversation that night, Ye Fan and Ye Xi-Mei never brought it up again.

Ye Xi-Mei knew that her son was extremely obstinate, so once he had decided on something, nobody could change his mind.

She could only pray that he wouldn't do anything rash.

Ye Xi-Mei didn't bring it up, so Ye Fan wasn't going to talk about it either.

It was enough for him to bear the weight of this hatred by himself. Telling his mother was useless and only made an additional person worry.

So for the next few days, Ye Fan quietly accompanied his mother every day.

They wrapped dumplings together and went to the market to stock things up for the new year holiday.

At night they would watch TV together and just chat.

Sometimes, just a few cups of tea, a short nap and some pleasant music was enough for the two of them to spend the afternoon.

Of course, besides accompanying his mother, Ye Fan would also bring Lu Wending along to visit Shin Yu-Xiang.

Now that he had married the woman of his dreams, Shin Yu-Xiang was in an excellent mood.

The four of them would play mahjong or go fishing by the river.

They lived a quiet but happy life, and it reminded Ye Fan of their childhood days.

Sometimes Ye Fan would hope that life would just go on like this.

But whenever he thought about such things, he would shake his head and just laugh.

This sort of life was just a dream to him.

He was carrying too much on his shoulders.

There were no peaceful times for someone who had to plod through life with so much weight.

But that was also why Ye Fan really cherished these last few quiet and peaceful moments.

As for his two uncles, they became quieter after that spat and didn't come and pick on Ye Fan anymore.

But it didn't mean that their attitude towards Ye Fan had changed at all.

Instead, this created a bigger rift between themselves and Ye Fan's family.

They completely ignored Ye Fan and his mother even when they saw each other on the street.

This had confirmed Ye Xi-Mei's suspicions. A leopard couldn't change its spots after all.

She knew these two younger brothers of hers only too well.

To them, Ye Fan was a cowardly live-in son-in-law, while Ye Xi-Mei was a woman abandoned by her husband. So it was only normal for most people to look down on them and be unwelcome anywhere they went.

Ye Xi-Mei was already long used to this.

Ye Fan wasn't bothered at all.

If these uncles were kind and caring towards them, Ye Fan would not have minded helping them out.

They were relatives after all, so he would help them.

Ye Fan's position in Jiangdong was such that one word from him could secure the future of his entire family.

But after all that happened, Ye Fan saw his relatives' true colors, so he wasn't going to give them any opportunities.

They didn't care about him, so why should he try so hard to gain their favor?

Time continued to pass like this.

New year was coming soon, and this quiet little town was beginning to get busy.

"Dad, the car is full, he can take the bus," came Ye Tian's reply.

It was followed by the low rumble of engines as two cars drove off without waiting for Ye Fan.

Old Master Ye's expression darkened.

He didn't expect them to ignore his instructions completely.

"Fan, just sit here and wait, I'll call them back right now. Once I get angry, they wouldn't dare to disobey me!”

Old Master Ye was furious. He didn't believe what Ye Tian said.

They were taking two cars and he knew there was no way either car was full. In his anger, the old man wanted to call Ye Tian to come back and take Ye Fan with them.

But Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed. "Grandpa, there's no need to do that. Take care of yourself and don't worry about me anymore. Besides, my friend is coming in a while to pick me, so there's no need to bother them."

After that, Ye Fan walked out.

Old Master Ye watched worriedly as his eldest grandson walked out on his own and he let out a long sigh.

He was still alive but this family was already in pieces.

Once he passed on, life for Ye Fan and his mother would become even more dire.

"It looks like I should try and think of a way to help Xi-Mei and her son.”

But while Old Master Ye was busy worrying, a blue sports car had stopped outside the main gate of the estate.

That deep blue car body was stylish and breathtaking to look at. From the moment it drove in, it became the brightest star along the street.

Many passersby looked over and their eyes sparkled with envy.

The car window was wound down and Lei Ao-Ting stuck out his handsome and respectful face. "Mr Chu, Ao-Ting is here to pick you! Please hop in!"
