A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 216 The Shameless Ye Fan

In reality, Su Qian was more annoyed that everyone was fawning Ye Fan just because he could spot

some antiques.

In order to strengthen their relationship, her old man was even giving her away just to get close to Ye

Fan.

Even Old Master Gu, the respectable president of the Antique Association, was willing to lower himself

and be Ye Fan's apprentice. And he even planned on introducing his granddaughter to Ye Fan.

The poor country bumpkin that she used to despise was now receiving such good treatment and Su

Qian couldn't stand the sight of it.

Even she never enjoyed such treatment before

Ye Fan completely ignored Su Qian's displeasure. The only person he cared about was his wife.

"Mu-Cheng..." Ye Fan looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and chuckled.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng stared at him before angrily saying, "Don't look for me, go look for that undergrad.

She's born after 2000 and she can still be taught to be nice to you.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng's voice was filled with jealousy. She was so angry today.

At first, the whole thing about Su Qian was enough to give her a headache. But yet another person had

her eye on Ye Fan. And this second girl was a bigger threat as she was young and could still be easily

influenced.

Ye Fan hurriedly explained, "Mu-Cheng, don't be angry. I was just patronizing him. If I didn't, the old

man would keep harassing me to take him in as an apprentice."

When Qiu Mu-Cheng heard Ye Fan's explanation, the resentment in her heart diminished a little. Then

she looked at Su Qian and said, "Su Qian, look at what you have done. What are you going to do about

it now?"

Su Qian looked upset, "Mu-Cheng, stop blaming me. I already know it's my fault. Don't worry, I will

explain it to my dad. I will definitely not snatch your good-for-nothing husband from you."

"You know that I want to marry Mr Chu. Country bumpkins like Ye Fan aren't my type at all.”

"I swear that I will never marry someone like him even if I have to live alone for the rest of my life,"

promised Su Qian repeatedly. After apologizing and explaining to Qiu Mu-Cheng further, they finally

moved on from this incident.

"Mr Ye, Mr Ye. I finally found you," said a breathless voice from behind.

Ye Fan and the others looked up to see Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie all drenched in sweat as they had

run over in a hurry. When they saw Ye Fan, they were delighted.

From the looks of it, these two lads had been going around looking for Ye Fan.

"Yes? What's the matter?" asked Ye Fan quizzically as he frowned.

Shen Fei chuckled, "Mr Ye, it's no big deal. We just want to bring you to the jade showcase happening

on the ninth floor. It'll be filled with high-quality Burmese jade, and the chances of finding jade will be

high. Also, it's very large-scale this time round and hard to come by."

"Since we're all around today, we should definitely go. So we came over to invite Mr Ye to join us for

some fun,” said Shen Fei flatteringly. He was eager when he told Ye Fan about it.

Ye Fan laughed gently instead, "You guys are up to something. You must have come looking for me so

I can help you take a look and choose some jade, right?"

Ye Fan was no fool. Why would Shen Fei be so eager if he didn't need his help?

After Ye Fan saw through their act, Shen Fei didn't feel awkward either. He continued to smile and said,

"Nothing escapes your eyes!"

"I lost more than ten million of company money when I went rock gambling the last time, so I'm

counting on this exhibition to recoup those losses. Otherwise, if my dad finds out, he's going to kill me.

Can't you help me out this once on account of all our years of friendship, Mr Ye?" implored Shen Fei

with a pitiful look on his face.

Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly, "Young Master Shen, don't you already have an

expert with you? Isn't it pointless to look for me? When you were at Eight Treasure Hall buying that

blue and white porcelain piece, I recall your friend was extremely confident and he knows his stuff.

After all, only the truly capable dare to be bold, isn't it?"

Ye Fan remembered Han Shao-Jie ridiculing him at Eight Treasure Hall.

Ye Fan wasn't going to play nice now that tables had turned. He hurled all the mockery that Han Shao-

Jie unleashed on him earlier on right back at him. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Ye Fan's words made Han Shao-Jie's face blush.

But Han Shao-Jie wasn't the petty sort, so he stepped forward and apologized sincerely to Ye Fan, "Mr

Ye, it was wrong of me to do that earlier on. I was incapable and made a fool of myself and offended Mr

Ye in the process. I hope you can forgive me. Mr Ye can appraise with your eyes without using your

hands at all, and that was enough to make the Eight Treasure Hall owner beg for mercy. I can't

compare to the keen eye you have. It was such an eye-opener."

"Mr Ye, with you around, how could I possibly consider myself an expert?” rambled Han Shao-Jie

nonstop. He was overflowing with shame. It was clear that after the incident this morning had, Ye Fan

had won him over.

Ye Fan was actually quite impressed that Han Shao-Jie admitted his mistake so readily.

"Forget it, it's nothing, so let's move on. I won't be bothered by it. But I'm honestly clueless about rock

gambling. So if you want me to help you take a look, you've found the wrong person. You'd better find

someone else quickly," said Ye Fan as he waved his hand and turned down Shen Fei's invitation with

this reason.

But when Ye Fan said this, Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly asked, "So does that mean you really know how to

appraise antique brush paintings and calligraphy?"

Ye Fan shook his head again, "I told you. I know nothing about appraising treasures."

" "

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Shen Fei didn't know what to say.

Ye Fan's words had undoubtedly made everyone speechless again. Shen Fei's eyes just kept twitching

away.

Was this guy pretending again?

At first, Shen Fei really thought Ye Fan knew nothing about rock gambling. But now that he heard what

Ye Fan said, his opinion changed.

Earlier on, Ye Fan said he knew nothing about antiques, but in the end, he was able to recognize

Zhang Da-Qian's work with one look.

Now he was saying he was completely unacquainted with rock gambling. Did that mean he could spot

the rocks with emperor green jade inside too?

So Shen Fei became even more relentless. No matter what it took, he had to get Ye Fan to help him

with this. He was counting on Ye Fan to make a comeback.

But Ye Fan simply refused to go.

"I told you I don't know anything about rock gambling and I'm not interested. Why don't you go and find

someone else? I need to go shopping with my wife."

As Ye Fan felt rather harassed by Shen Fei, he started chasing him out.

"Young Master Shen, I think I should return this diamond ring to you. It's simply too expensive, so I

can't accept it." Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly remembered the diamond ring and took it off her finger to

return it to

Shen Fei.

Shen Fei's opened his eyes wide, "Miss Qiu, why are you doing this? Are you looking down on me? It

was a present from me, so how can I take it back?

"It's not that, Young Master Shen. I don't look down on you at all. It's just that this ring is the property of

your company after all. I'm worried you can't answer to your company if you just give it to us like that.

From what I know, there are other shareholders in Shen Jewelry, right?" said Qiu Mu-Cheng softly.

Shen Fei waved his hand candidly. "It's okay. That's just a small matter and I can settle it. It's just a few

million right? You can treat it like I bought it to give it to you. You don't have to worry about causing

trouble at the company."

"I...I don't think that's a good idea." Qiu Mu-Cheng still didn't want to accept it.

Ye Fan walked over from behind her and said slowly, "Mu-Cheng, why don't you just keep it since

Young Master Shen says it's

for you?"

"That's right, Miss Qiu. Even Mr Ye said so. Just keep it," persuaded Shen Fei.

Ye Fan glanced at Shen Fei and continued to say, "What floor did you say the rock gambling was held?

Why don't you take us there? Since we can shop anywhere we like, why don't we just go over for a

look? Mu-Cheng, what do you think?"

"Hoho, Mr Ye, did you just agree to come along?" Shen Fei was so thrilled. He was so excited that he

opened his arms and wanted to embrace Ye Fan.

Ye Fan stepped to the right and avoided him quickly instead, "What are you trying to do?!"

"Don't touch me! No one except my wife can get handsy with me. No one else is allowed to do it,

understand?" shouted Ye Fan coldly. Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie instantly laughed cheekily. They now

looked at Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng in a more vulgar sort of way.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's pretty little face turned crimson.

This shameless jerk!
