A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 76

Chen Ao was enraged to hear the criticisms against his daughter. He turned to glare at Li Er and hmphed coldly, "Li Er, you shouldn't place the blame fully on my daughter.”

"If you had not tried to show off, would you have offended Mr. Chu?"

"People make mistakes all the time. So what if sombody spilled hot water on you? Was it that big a deal? But you just had to put on airs and show off. In the end, you caused offence to Mr. Chu. It was nobody's fault but yours."

Chen Ao's retort was a direct attack on Li Er.

He was not afraid of Li Er.

And only he himself was allowed to scold Chen Nan. Nobody else had that right.

"You-"

Li Er went speechless. He hmphed coldly and stood beside Ye Fan with an ugly expression on his face.

Just then, Chen Nan had her head bowed as tears swam around her eyes. She was feeling aggrieved and embarrassed, after her father's public scolding.

All these years, nobody had ever scolded her so severely. But now-

"What are you standing there for?”

"Quick, get over there and apologize to Mr. Chu."

"You brat! You are too daring for your own good. How dare you order Mr. Chu around? Is he someone you can just push around? Your mother has spoiled you rotten."

Chen Ao was both angry and worried.

He was angry because his daughter, in her ignorance, had dared to push Ye Fan into becoming a server. And he was worried because he was afraid that Ye Fan might punish his daughter severely.

But Chen Nan turned a deaf ear to her father's scolding. She remained standing with her head bowed, and refused to take a single step toward Ye Fan.

"Quick, get over there! Or do you want me to use force?" Chen Ao was beside himself with rage, as he walked over to his daughter with the intention of hitting her.

Meanwhile, Li Er was enjoying the spectacle and fanning the flames of discord. He snorted and said, "Heh, she is indeed the daughter of the King of Jiangdong! She is just as prideful as her father."

"You shut up!" Ye Fan glared at Li Er and then laughed lightly. "Chen Ao, forget it. Stop scolding her. You can't push all the blame on her. After all, I did borrow money from her. So you can consider the work I have done as payment for the interest."

"Thank you, Mr.~" Chen Ao heaved a sigh of relief when Ye Fan announced his intention to not pursue the matter. But before Chen Ao could finish saying his thanks, he was interrupted.

Chen Nan suddenly looked up at Ye Fan with tear-filled eyes and said coldly,

"Hmph, stop being such a hypocrite!"

"I know. You just want to see me make a fool of myself, right?"

"Are you satisfied now?"

At this moment, Chen Nan's pent-up resentment exploded. She glared at Ye Fan with red-rimmed eyes and started shouting.

"But, even if my father is afraid of you, I am not!"

"I really dislike rich brats like you. Just because you have a rich daddy, you go around oppressing others. You are nothing without your privileged background."

"Do you really think they truly respect you from the bottom of their hearts? Don't be naive!"

"You are just a wastrel. You can't even come up with two hundred by yourself and have to borrow the money from someone else. You are so useless. Without your family to support you, you are nothing!" Once Chen Nan blew her top, she threw all caution to the wind and started lashing out at Ye Fan.

Chen Ao was frightened out of his wits. He was trembling all over as he yelled at his daughter. "You disobedient child! You shut your mouth right now!"

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Quick! Apologize to Mr. Chu now!"

"He is just a useless rich brat! Why do I have to apologize to someone like him?

No way!" Chen Nan yelled stubbornly, turned around and ran away.

Leaving behind a room filled with silent tension.

Chen Ao was so outraged that he almost fainted. He shook with anger and finally turned to face Ye Fan guiltily. "Mr. Chu, I am sorry. You have seen something embarrassing." "I have spoiled my daughter. When I go home, I will be sure to discipline her properly. I will make sure she apologizes to you personally."

But Ye Fan laughed awkwardly and said, "Don't do that. I want to live a long life."

Considering her temper, Ye Fan thought it likely that Chen Nan would demolish his home if they got into an argument.

But Ye Fan admired her unyielding character. In that regard, Chen Nan was similar to his wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng.

She felt more and more aggrieved after she had left the restaurant. So in the end, she had done a U-turn and returned.

She would not go away, no matter how much Ye Fan wanted her to. Chen Nan was not going to let a wastrel see her make a fool of herself.

"You~" Chen Ao was so angry that his face had turned an ugly shade of green.

But Ye Fan thought that Chen Nan was interesting and had character.

"Hahaha-"

"Well said!"

"Young lady, you go ahead and stay. Don't worry. As long as I am around, nobody will tell you to leave!" Huo Dun laughed and came to Chen Nan's defence.

It looked like the Boxing King admired her personality.

Chen Nan was overjoyed. "Thank you, Uncle Huo!"

With Huo Dun's protection, Chen Nan felt a lot more confident. She even turned her head to glare at Ye Fan.

It was as though her expression was saying, "Come on, you arrogant pig!"

I am now under the protection of the Boxing King. Let us see if you still dare to bully me!

Ye Fan thought that Chen Nan's little bit of stubbornness was funny. It felt like she was a wife sulking with her husband.

"Okay, bring the stone over!"

The matter between Chen Nan and Ye Fan was laid to rest. Most people in the room thought that the pair were too young to merit their attention. If it weren't for their family backgrounds, the attendees would have just chased Ye Fan and Chen Nan away already.

And soon, the huge slab of stone was brought forward by the burly workers.

The attendees looked over and saw a deep fist print on the stone. It looked as if the huge slab of stone had been penetrated. Just how strong was the person who had left his mark on the stone?

Such a deep fist print was very shocking indeed!

Many among the attendees paled immediately.
