A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1658

The revelation of Ye Fan's true identity caused an uproar among the international leaders, and the hall was buzzing with confusion and excitement.

The realization of being played like a fool traumatized Xiao Chen.

Just a while ago, he was singing praises of Chu Tianfan, making him out to be unparalleled among the elite youths in front of Tang Hao. He swore that otherthan Chu Qitian, only Chu Tianfan was worthy of the Chu Sect's princess, Angie.

Xiao Chen never expected his idol was right in front of him all this time. He even discredited the latter and issued an order to bar the man from the martial arts world in Chinese.

It was such an ironic twist; the Sword Saint felt he had become the butt of the joke.

“Don't be too hard on yourself, Sword Saint. We can always invite him to rejoin our martial arts world in the future.” Seeing how Xiao Chen was tormenting himself, Tang Hao sighed and tried to console him, despite his annoyance at his friend's rash behavior earlier.

However, there was no point in crying over spilled milk. There was nothing Tang Hao could do other than offer his assurance that the situation was still salvageable.

The Sword Saint sadly shook his head and said, “That is impossible. He can never come back. Even if he is Chu Tianfan, he has gone down a path of no return when he decided to challenge the Chu Sect.

“Tang Hao, I'm simply lamentingthe loss. Chu Tianfan is too obstinate in his ways. If he had obeyed the rules and worked his way up, the War God Castle would have his back when he led us into battle against the Chu Sect. Unfortunately, his unruliness landed us in this tragic situation.”

Xiao Chen shared his views with Tang Hao rationally after regaining his composure.

Although his tone was pensive, he had no regrets about his earlier decision.

It did not make a difference whether that man was Ye Fan or Chu Tianfan. It was wrong to risk millions of lives for one man.

Meanwhile, the unexpected disclosure had stunned Angie, too. She murmured to herself, “Ye Fan is... he is part of the Chu family? And he is Uncle Zhenghong's son?”

She remembered when Chu Zhenghong was the head of the family, he frequently went to the Jones residence to visit her. He often teased her by saying if he had a son, he would make her his daughter-in-law.

At the thought of that, Angie blushed upon realizing that he was not serious after all. Although Ye Fan was thrown out of the Chu family, he was still Chu Zhenghong's flesh and blood. Like all fathers, he would want the best for his son.

All these years, Chu Zhenghong kept a tab on all the young ladies from high societies and the royalties. He was scouting for a prospective wife for his son! His favorite was always Angie, the little princess of the Jones family. Not only was she a true beauty, but she was also impeccable in her manners and character.

Most importantly, her secret would be helpful to his son's career advancement. That was the reason he had always considered Angie to be the best candidate for his daughter-in-law.

Chu Zhenghong had absolutely no regard for the marriage agreement for Angie and Chu Qitian, an arrangement made by the two families. He was not about to give up on his prospective daughter-in-law this easily.

However, things didn't go as he planned. His efforts were in vain.

Chu Zhenghong nearly had a heart attack when he heard Ye Fan became a live-in son-in-law after he married Qiu Mucheng.

A live-in son-in-law? That brat will be the death of me! For ten years, I fantasized about him marrying Angie. Poof! The unruly rascal dashed my dream of having the perfect daughter-in-law.

A furious Chu Zhenghong went to China to bring Ye Fan back with him. However, the dust had settled. He could not change his son's mind, so he begrudgingly accepted Qiu Mucheng as his daughter-in-law instead.

Just when he thought Angie and Ye Fan were not destined to be together, life threw them a curveball. The two met and got acquainted.

Ye Fan was unperturbed by the commotion caused by the revelation of his true identity. He was looking around the hall as if he was searching for someone. His intent was clear—to seek revenge on the Chu family, the people who had brought much sorrow and suffering to him and his mother.

He ignored Chu Zhengliang's taunts and brushed the latter aside. “We will settle our differences later.”
