A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 91

"Quick, brother. Your guests are here already.”

Now that the guests had finally arrived, Han Yue started to hurry Han Hai and Han He along.

"Mr. Han, we are not late, are we?"

The first guests to arrive were Han Hai's work colleagues.

Han Hai was an executive at a state-owned enterprise in Jianghai. Since today was Madam Han's birthday, it was natural for his subordinates to come bearing gifts

"Not at all, not at all. Quick, come in." Han Hai and his son welcomed their guests warmly.

"Madam Han, we are friends of Mr. Han.

We have come here today to celebrate your birthday."

"These are some longevity peachs I asked somebody to buy from overseas. I wish you good health."

"Haha, you are standing on ceremony. It is good enough that you can come. There is no need to bring presents as well," Madam Han laughed politely.

"I can't do that. Mr. Han has been taking care of me at work and all of us here have received his favors. So there is no way we will miss his mother's birthday.”

And while everyone was exchanging greetings, several more guests arrived with their presents. They were all wearing suits and carrying expensive gifts. It was easy to see that they were men of status.

"Mayor Han, we are not late, are we? Where is the old madam. We have come to celebrate her birthday."

When they heard this form of address, everybody knew that the new arrivals were Han He's guests.

"Not at all, not at all. Please come in. My grandmother is in the hall."

And Han He ushered his guests into the hall.

In a short while, the hall turned lively.

"Madam Han, I am Wang Zhen-Xiang from the Fengxiang Food Factory in Dongyang Town. I am here to celebrate your birthday. May you be blessed with good health!"

"Your grandson is young and capable. You have to live a long life-”

"I am Niu Zheng-Fei, the director of Shanshui Metal Sheet Factory. May you live to a ripe old age."

"I am Shen Shan-Hua, the vice-mayor of Dongyang Town. I wish Madam Han a happy birthday-"

"Madam Han, you have an excellent grandson-"

"Han He is so capable. The Han family has a successor now.”

It was lively inside the hall.

Various factory directors from Dongyang Town and some leaders in the town government had all come for the birthday banquet.

One by one, they went to shake Han He's hand when they entered the hall. At this moment, Han Fei-Fei also joined in to greet and show her fact to the guests.

Afterward, Han He led them to where Madam Han was seated, so that they could wish her a happy birthday and present their gifts.

In just a short while, Madam Han's table was piled full of all sorts of rare and valuable presents.

And the guests from the nearby neighborhoods were filled with envy, when they saw the lavish display.

"Han He is such a capable grandson.”

"So many birthday guests showed up for his sake!"

"There is a talent among the younger generation of the Han family."

"It looks like Han Hai's family will have the highest number of guests this year."

And one by one, the guests sighed in admiration.

Han He was in high spirits, after hearing the praises from the surrounding guests. And from the expression on his face, it was clear that Han Hai felt immense pride for his son's accomplishments.

"Ye Fan, do you see? My son has an endless stream of guests showing up to support him. But look at you! You don't have a single guest!”

"This is the difference between poverty and wealth. This is the difference between a low-class person and an elite. This is the difference between a piece of trash and a dragon. It is as different as heaven and earth!"

When Han Hai walked past Ye Fan, he came to a stop. And then, as he looked down from above, he started talking haughtily to Ye Fan. It was clear from his words that he was in high spirits.

Because his son was such a capable person, it was only natural that Han Hai would feel conceited.

When compared to his son, Ye Fan looked even more worthless. And as Han Hai was bragging about Han He, the gaze he directed at Ye Fan was filled with disdain and mockery.

The reason Han Hai said all that to Ye Fan was because he wanted the latter to feel inferior and embarrassed. But disappointingly, Ye Fan remained composed and continued to sip his tea quietly. It was as if he had not heard Han Hai at all.

And Ye Fan's reaction made Han Hai especially unhappy.
