A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 746

"What? You told him he would become captain of the Dragon Hunting Special Troop?"

Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong went into shock when she told them about the situation in the hospital ward.

Ye Yu-Yan's eyes were still a little red. She saw her Master's reaction and asked quietly, "Master, was I wrong? Didn't you invite my cousin to join the armed forces to become captain of the Dragon Hunting Special Troop?”

Lu Tian-He glared and replied, "Who told you we wanted him to be a tiny captain? You silly girl! No wonder you messed up! Use your brains. Your cousin defeated the top disciple of the Sword Shrine with a single move! He is a genius! In the martial arts circle, your skills say it all. Even if I see your cousin, I have to address him as 'Sir' respectfully. How can we invite someone like him to be captain and take orders from someone else? Aren't you looking down on him? How different is it from hurling insult? It was considered kind of him to throw a temper at you. If you did it to me,

I'd have kicked you for sure! We want him to be the chief military instructor of the entire army."

Lu Tian-He shook his head and sighed with regret bursting from his heart.

Ye Fan didn't like them to begin with, but after Ye Yu-Yan messed up, it would be even more impossible for them to invite Ye Fan to join the army.

"Chief...chief military instructor? Ye...Ye Fan?" stuttered Ye Yu-Yan, who was dumbstruck instantly.

Ye Yu-Yan opened her eyes wide. She didn't dream that her master wanted to invite Ye Fan to join the army and offer him such a respectable role.

"But...but he's only in his twenties. How can he be the chief military instructor at such a young age?" asked Ye Yu-Yan in surprise.

Ye Yu-Yan already knew that Ye Fan would have great accomplishments in life when she witnessed him displaying his true prowess at Guangyue Restaurant.

She even said that Ye Fan would rise to the ranks of a general in 30 years.

Ye Yu-Yan already thought very highly of Ye Fan, but she still underestimated him from the looks of it now.

The position of the chief military instructor would mean he would be at least a major general.

There was probably only one other man who made it to a major general at a young age.

And that was the God of War of China, Ye Qing-Tian!

But now, Ye Fan was about to join his ranks and be the second one.

So Ye Yu-Yan was overwhelmed with shock.

Had the young man whom she despised unknowingly overtaken her so vastly?

"Age is no object if he is talented. You live in a meritocracy to begin with. Your cousin is so powerful at such a young age. Yu-Yan, just you wait, he will probably make a name for himself throughout China in less than 30 years," said Lu Tian-He profoundly in a deep voice that brimmed with excitement and anticipation.

He sounded like an old man hoping his progeny would rise to success.

At Lu Tian-He's age, fame and fortune meant nothing to him.

He only wanted to see the younger generation succeed.

If they could find another matchless martial artist in China, the men who discovered and groomed Ye Fan would become famous when he made a name for himself.

So Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong didn't give up. Considering what had just transpired, they decided to discuss the matter further before acting.

Instead, a complicated emotion rose in Ye Yu-Yan's heart after she heard them praising Ye Fan to the sky.

She felt defeated and dejected.

Ye Yu-Yan felt insulted when Ye Fan wrote her love letters and courted her back in the day.

But it never crossed her mind that ten years later, the young man she despised would surpass her staggeringly.

Ye Yu-Yan was the only person in the Ye family who had found a future beyond Jingzhou, so she was the entire family's pride.

So when Ye Yu-Yan wanted to leave, everyone came to see her off and tried to make her stay.

All of them voiced their reluctance for her to leave.

After everyone attempted to make her stay, Ye Yu-Yan only smiled gently and said, "I have something urgent to attend to. Let's talk next time. Grandpa, Grandma, take care of yourselves. Mum, Dad, goodbye."

Ye Yu-Yan waved her hand and bid farewell to her family.

She kept looking into the courtyard as she spoke. Even as she got onto the car, she kept looking back.

After the engine started, Ye Yu-Yan still kept turning around to look.

But the skinny silhouette whom she was hoping for didn't turn up.

Previously, Ye Fan never saw her off whenever she left home.

Ye Yu-Yan used to think that Ye Fan was an insignificant character, so she probably wouldn't have cared even if he came.

For some unknown reason, this time Ye Yu-Yan unexpectedly felt disappointed and empty in her heart when Ye Fan didn't show up.

Was she sad?

"Fan, you still can't forgive me."

Ye Yu-Yan's gentle sigh was taken away by the icy cold winter wind!
