A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 213

Many of them were secretly cursing, "Hello, my friend, can you stop pretending?"

Ye Fan was the one who noticed that the blue and white porcelain piece was a fake with one look.

After that he bought this $200 million painting for $250!

How could he claim to know nothing about antique appraisal?

Was he saying that the crowd was just a bunch of idiots?!

Many of them were completely speechless. Su Yuan-Shan kept smiling bitterly while Old Master Gu Long-En was completely disbelieving of every word he said.

Were Ye Fan's words any different from Penguin Group's CEO Ma when he said he had a normal family? Or when CEO Liu Qiangdong said that his wife wasn't pretty when she's gorgeous?!

They all felt Ye Fan was either showing off or pretending to be modest.

But Ye Fan was too lazy to explain any further. They probably wouldn't believe him even if he tried anyway.

Besides, the Book of Celestial Cloud was considered classified to Ye Fan, so there was no way he would share any information about it.

It was almost noon. Ye Fan was no longer in the mood to keep looking around. Since he was just a driver from the countryside, it made no difference whether or not he stayed, so he prepared to bid Su Yuan-Shan and the others farewell.

"Mr Su, let's call it a day. I have to go home."

"What? It's still early and barely 11:00 am. Why don't we look around a bit more?" said Su Yuan-Shan as he tried to make him stay.

Ye Fan shook his head and sighed sadly, "I have no choice. Mr Su is married, so you have someone who loves and cares about you and will cook lunch for you. But I am but an unknown lowly driver. I'm all alone, so there's no one to cook for me, and I have to go back early to do it myself," said Ye Fan in self-ridicule. But it was clear that he sounded a little resentful.

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt guilty when she heard Ye Fan's words. She didn't dare to look him in the eye and looked down quietly instead.

When Su Yuan-Shan and Su Nan heard what he said, they felt slightly surprised.

"Are you unmarried? Do you mean you haven't found a wife yet?" asked Su Yuan-Shan in a low voice.

Ye Fan shook his head and scoffed, "I'm just Miss Qiu's driver. I'm from the countryside and don't have power or money. Which girl would fancy me? Women only hate me," said Ye Fan calmly as Qiu Mu-Cheng's face turned even paler. She felt intensely guilty in her heart and hung her head even lower.

Qiu Mu-Cheng bit her red lips hard. For a second, she couldn't suppress the urge to apologize to Ye Fan and tell everyone the truth.

Qiu Mu-Cheng guessed that she must have hurt his feelings when she said Ye Fan was her driver.

But when Su Qian caught sight of this, she furtively held Qiu Mu-Cheng's hand and shook her head. She didn't want her to blow their covers.

She didn't want her father to find out that her best friend had married a country bumpkin.

"How can you say that? Your background only marks the beginning and doesn't define your ending. What's more, you're so talented even without relying on your family or background. You are such a talented appraiser, I'm certain you'll have a bright future! Zhu Yuan-Zhang was a farmer, but he became the emperor anyway. Zhuge Liang farmed in Nanyang, and ended up making a name in history too, didn't he? Mr Ye, I have faith that you will do well in the future!" said Su Yuan-Shan. He spoke freely and boldly as he looked at Ye Fan with a look of admiration and joy.

After learning that Ye Fan was still single, he liked him even more. He continued asking, "Mr Ye, how do you think my daughter's looks?"

Ye Fan nodded, "Although Miss Su has a bad temper, I have to admit she is a rare beauty. If she were in school, she would definitely be the class or even the school belle," replied Ye Fan honestly without giving it much thought.
