A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 174

Ye Fan eventually opened the door for them, but of course, he also had to suffer an earful from them.

"Are you deaf?! So many of us were yelling at you and you just pretended not to hear us?! If you don't want to stay in this family anymore, then get lost! Go back to your lousy little village!" Han Li went on an angry tirade. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Her family had made a trip all the way here but Ye Fan wasn't polite to them at all. Of course Han Li was furious.

"No manners at all! You're really from the countryside and you don't know anything about formalities at all. My family is here and you don't know how to greet them either?!" Han Li shouted angrily at Ye Fan again.

But Ye Fan peered around and looked utterly confused. "Mum, where are they? I don't see any of your family members around."

Han Hai and the rest were going to die from their anger soon.

What did Ye Fan mean by that? He didn't see them as humans now?

"Are you blind?! My brother is standing right in front of you and you can't see him?!" roared Han Li back angrily.

Ye Fan looked like he suddenly realized this fact and quickly smiled apologetically at Han Hai, "Oh, so it's really Uncle Hai!”

"When I called out to you earlier, you didn't respond, so I thought that there was a problem with my eyes and I saw wrongly. But it looks like the one with eyesight problems isn't me. You know, when people get old, their hearing and their eyesight start to deteriorate, so Uncle Hai, you'd better take good care of yourself and don't work too hard," Ye Fan continued in a sarcastic tone.

"Humph! I don't need a country bumpkin to worry about my health!" Han Hai's expression darkened and didn't want to respond to Ye Fan's sarcasm. He scoffed coldly and went downstairs.

"Change out of your slippers and bring us to Mu-Cheng's new office," ordered Han Li. She didn't bother hiding the disdain and irritation in her voice.

Everyone else went downstairs to wait for Ye Fan to get changed and lead the way.

"Yu-Hao, don't be mistaken. This useless idiot might be Mu-Cheng's husband in name, but it's all for show. We've never treated him as our son-in-law and Mu-Cheng has never liked him. They've been married for three years but they've always slept in separate rooms. Mu-Cheng has never even let him hold her hand before. If Mu-Cheng's muddleheaded grandfather hadn't forced us to take him back then, Mu-Cheng would never have agreed to marry a country bumpkin like him."

Han Li continued on, "Our family has nothing to do with the Qiu family anymore, so my husband and I will take charge of Mu-Cheng's future happiness and stop listening to what others say. I'll get them to divorce in a few days, then it'll be up to my husband and I to decide who Mu-Cheng marries, isn't it?" Han Li kept explaining things to Sun Yu-Hao on the way back downstairs as if she was afraid that he might misunderstand the situation.

But Han Li was really good with her words. She was basically telling Sun Yu-Hao that he could marry Mu-Cheng, but only if he treated Han Li and Qiu Lei well. Otherwise he could forget about it.

Sun Yu-Hao wasn't an idiot and he could tell what Han Li was really trying to say. He smiled and replied, "Auntie Han, then I'll have to trouble you and Uncle about Mu-Cheng and myself."

"Don't worry. If Mu-Cheng marries me, I will definitely be able to take better care of her than Ye Fan. By the way, these are presents that I got for both of you from Jianghai, I hope you will like them." Sun Yu-Hao passed Han Li and Qiu Lei an exquisite gift box.

It was a set of gold jewelry. One was with the Goddess of Mercy on it, and the other had the image of Buddha on it.

One was for Qiu Lei and the other one was for Han Li.

Sun Yu-Hao had really put in some effort to butter up to Qiu Mu-Cheng's parents.

Han Li was pleasantly surprised. She eagerly hugged the little gold Buddha necklace and made Qiu Lei put it on for her there and then.
