A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 82

"So you do know that you have offended someone you shouldn't have!"

Chen Ao was so angry that he wished he could just kick Lei San to death. If the latter had not played the role of agitator earlier, the Jiangdong leaders would not have chased Ye Fan away. In the end, they had chased away the master and kept the piece of trash with them.

As the Jiangdong leaders looked at the corpse of the defeated Boxing King, a feeling of unfathomable sadness came over them.

They felt that they had been slapped in the face. This was an affront to their dignity!

Lei San's face crumpled. He knew he had caused trouble, so he spoke softly to Chen Ao. "Mr. Chen, you can't place all the blame on me. I wasn't the only one who wanted Mr. Chu to leave. Your daughter wanted to chase him away too."

"You~" Chen Ao's eye twitched a little, and his face turned red with rage. He opened his mouth but could not get a word out.

That was the truth after all. Out of all the people gunning for Ye Fan, his daughter had been the most enthusiastic.

Chen Nan had not just shown Ye Fan a little bit of disrespect. She had made Ye Fan serve tea at the meeting AND publicly called him a good-for-nothing.

Chen Ao turned to glare at his daughter, who was looking pale and demoralized. Chen Nan knew she had caused trouble, so she kept her head bowed and dared not look at her father.

When Chen Ao saw his daughter's sorry look, his anger subsided. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said, "You silly girl, what am I to do with you? I have told you again and again that you musn't insult Mr. Chu!"

"And now, look at what you have done?"

Chen Ao trembled with anger as he scolded his daughter.

Just then, Li Er had already recovered his wits. He stood up from the floor, looked at Chen Ao and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Chen, this is not the time for pointing fingers."

"Let us think of a way to salvage the situation?"

The others in the room gave their assent and grimaced as they looked at Chen Ao. Like Li Er, they tried to persuade Chen Ao to get Ye Fan to forgive them and, later, deal with Wu He-Rong on their behalf.

It could not be helped. To salvage the situation, Chen Ao had to swallow his pride and call Ye Fan.

When the latter received the call, he was already back at Han Hai's place.

"Yes, who is it?"

"Oh, so it is Mr. Chen?"

"No, don't. You are the number one in Jiangdong. All the leaders answer to you. I am just a good-for-nothing. Of course, I have to call you 'Mister Chen'." Ye Fan said sarcastically with a faint smile on his lips.

At the other end of the line, Chen Ao was so frightened that he started sweating profusely. His face crumpled and he almost burst into tears.

"It's already so late. What business do you have with me?”

"What?"

"Apologize?"

"Please don't. Please consider the difference in status between us. Do you think I deserve to receive an apology from personages such as you?"

"What?"

"You want me to help you deal with Wu He-Rong?"

"In that case, you are really wasting your time here. I am just a piece of trash. I can't help you. I only know how to brag after all. You had better ask the Boxing King for help. He is way stronger than I am." "Didn't your daughter tell you? The Boxing King can kill me with a single slap. Compared to him, I am just a nobody."

"And that baldy. Didn't he say that the Boxing King can mop the floor with me and kill me like a chicken?"

"I can't do it. I am just a useless rich brat. A wastrel. And a narcissist who loves to brag."

"Okay, that's enough. I have to get up early tomorrow to attend a birthday banquet."

"Stop bothering me. And don't call me. Let me live quietly as a piece of trash~"

Ye Fan sneered and hung up the phone before Chen Ao could say anymore.

Shengtian Restaurant. Inside the VIP room.

Chen Ao's heart had sunk, when Ye Fan ended the call.

Damn it. The shit has hit the fan.
