A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 736

Ye Jian shrugged cluelessly.

"He's back, he's inside the house. Let me go get him," replied Ye Xi-Mei as she walked in to call Ye Fan.

"Yes, Mum?" asked Ye Fan as he stretched lazily. He seemed to have just woken up.

Ye Ya's wife looked at Ye Fan and instantly sneered with disdain, "All you do is idle around. How can someone like you ever have any achievements? It's no wonder Ye Fan is such a good-for-nothing among all his cousins.”

Ye Ya's wife and the others grumbled among themselves.

But Ye Yu-Yan walked over to Ye Fan.

Ye Yu-Yan lacked the confidence to face Ye Fan and didn't even dare to make eye contact with him. Instead, she hung her head.

Her long pink dress fluttered in the wind. There was even a light fragrance in her freshly done up hair.

Moments later, she finally mustered the courage to say in an apologetic tone to Ye Fan, "Fan, are you free at mid-day? I want to..." Ye Yu-Yan paused before she continued, "I want to buy you lunch.”

What?

Did she want to buy him lunch?

Ye Jian and the others stared dumbstruck when they heard Ye Yu-Yan. They felt as though she had just slapped them in their faces.

They felt so pissed.

They finally realized why Ye Yu-Yan wasn't free to eat with them. It was because she wanted to buy Ye Fan lunch!

Jiang Yu-Lang and Jiang Yu-Qing were equally shocked.

It felt as though they had witnessed an impossible phenomenon.

And Ye Fan's reply would leave them even more shocked.

"Buy me lunch?" sneered Ye Fan. "Sorry, I'm not free."

What?

Not free?

"Oh my god!" cursed Ye Jian in his heart as his expression fell.

Ye Jian had just asked Ye Yu-Yan to join them for lunch, but she rejected them and said she wasn't free.

They thought they had just caught her at the wrong time.

But how could she ask Ye Fan out for lunch instead?

Ye Jian found it even more unbearable that Ye Fan turned Ye Yu-Yan's offer down!

Ye Jian had begged Ye Yu-Yan to have lunch with them and failed to succeed. How could a lowly live-in husband like Ye Fan reject her now?

The more Ye Jian thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.

Jiang Yu-Lang and Jiang Yu-Qing also seemed a little upset.

They wondered if they couldn't compare to Ye Fan in Ye Yu-Yan's eyes.

"Fan, isn't it great Yu-Yan asked you out for lunch? Why don't you go?" convinced Ye Xi-Mei.

Old Master Ye persuaded Ye Fan too, "That's right, Fan. Listen to your Mum. You are the eldest after all. Since ancient times, the eldest brother is like the father to the other siblings, so you ought to be more magnanimous. I think all five of you should have lunch together. Go to the city for some steamboat and hang out.”

Ye Xi-Mei and Old Master Ye immediately both did their utmost best to convince Ye Fan to go.

Even Lu Wen-Jing's eyes lit up when she heard about having steamboat.

Jiang Yu-Lang instantly nodded in agreement.

Ye Yu-Yan said nothing and merely nodded.

She wasn't here for lunch.

So she didn't care how good the steamboat tasted.

Ye Jian and the others continued to chat randomly.

Everyone ignored Ye Fan for the entire journey.

Ye Jian even laughed sinisterly in his heart as he hatched wicked plans.

Very quickly, they arrived in the city and pulled up near the restaurant.

Despite its small size, the restaurant decor had a lot of character. It had an antique flavor to it and seemed charming.

Ye Fan raised his head to see three words outside the establishment: 99 Steamboat Restaurant.

Since it was mid-day, business was brisk.

There were plenty of patrons, so most of the seats were taken up.

"Young Master Ye, come on in. I saved you a table," greeted the restaurant owner. The moment he spotted Ye Jian, he quickly came over to welcome them.

"Haha! Mr Fang, business is getting better and better."

"I have Young Master Ye to thank for bringing me business. Are these your friends? Don't hold back when you order. I will give you a 10% discount. Since you are such an important client of ours, all your friends will enjoy 10% off!" said the restaurant owner smoothly as he helped Ye Jian impress his friends.

It certainly boosted Ye Jian's ego. Then he said, "Mr Fang, you're such a canny businessman. Yu-Yan, go have a seat first. I'm going to have a chat with Mr Fang."
