A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 231 Sorry

The worst thing that could ever happen to Qiu Mu-Ying was to see someone she used to look down on

actually live better than herself and become richer than her own family.

And that was what Ye Fan was doing right now.

Glass imperial green jade!

That was worth hundreds of millions.

Even if Qiu Mu-Ying married Chu Wen-Fei and became a rich housewife, no matter how rich the Chus

were, the money belonged to his father.

At least for now, they didn't belong to Chu Wen-Fei at all.

In other words, the only money Qiu Mu-Ying's family could access was a few million.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan had become millionaires suddenly and were now far richer than their

families. They were so rich that even the Qius couldn't compare to them. Of course, Qiu Mu-Ying was

particularly green with envy!

Nobody could understand how angry and jealous Qiu Mu-Ying was right now. She was on the brink of

madness.

Especially now that the crowd was still trying to bid for the imperial jade and the bidding price had shot

up to $200 million. Qiu Mu-Ying's eyes were going to bleed from her jealousy.

But even though the price had skyrocketed, Ye Fan didn't intend to sell it at all. He just looked like he

was still waiting for the perfect price and said he didn't intend to sell it yet.

"Don't be like this...Mr Ye, are you upset that the price is too low? If you're willing to sell, we can

negotiate further." Li Hong-Yuan started getting anxious. If he missed this chance, then someone else

would get this imperial jade.

After all, this sort of imperial jade was really hard to come by and it had a very high collector's value.

Even if one didn't just keep it in a collection and sold them as bangles, one bangle alone would fetch

several million too. Besides, Ye Fan's jade piece was quite large and it was more than enough to make

two or three bangles.

Even if he used $200 million to buy this piece, he would still profit!

This item was extremely rare, so the seller called the shots on how much he wanted the customer to

pay.

So to these rich merchants, as long as they could get this piece of jade from Ye Fan, they would

definitely profit!

But Ye Fan continued to refuse and didn't intend to sell it at all. Li Hong-Yuan had no choice but to use

a different tactic to move Ye Fan's heart.

So Li Hong-Yuan went to look for Shen Fei and put on a friendly smile. "Fei, Mr Ye is your friend right?

Since I'm such old buddies with your father, why don't you help to put in a good word for me and

persuade your friend to sell me that piece of imperial jade? Even half of it will do."

"I really, really like this piece...Fei, won't you help your Uncle Li out?" Li Hong-Yuan really humbled

himself and sounded like he was begging Shen Fei. He didn't have any of that arrogance earlier.

Shen Fei immediately burst out laughing and teasingly shook his head. "No no, Uncle Li, I shouldn't be

walking too closely with him. He's just a lowly country bumpkin, so if I go too near him, it would be

unbecoming of me and I would even embarrass my dad."

"So Uncle Li, I'm sorry but I can't help you. I have to listen to you and stop being friends with Mr Ye. A

penniless country bumpkin like him doesn't even have the right to talk to us, so why should we beg

him?” said Shen Fei in the same way Li Hong-Yuan had despised Ye Fan earlier.

Li Hong-Yuan knew that Shen Fei was spiting him and his face turned red in embarrassment. He hung

his head and said bitterly, "Fei, don't tease me anymore.

I know I was wrong." "I had looked down on him and didn't realize that he was such a master in this

trade. But Fei, don't tell Mr Ye anything that you said earlier, otherwise I wouldn't stand a chance

anymore. I'm begging you!" Li Hong-Yuan's heart was filled with bitterness and knew that he had made

a mistake earlier. He was pleading so desperately with Shen Fei.

Shen Fei just shook his head and laughed. "Alright now, Uncle Li, you don't have to look so scared. I

won't tell Mr Ye about this. But I really can't help you about that jade, so you think of something

yourself, ok?"

Shen Fei wasn't on close terms with Li Hong-Yuan at all, and he was just a business partner of his

father's. He wasn't related to him and even spoke so sarcastically earlier, so Shen Fei wasn't going to

help him.

Besides, he wanted that jade for himself. But Shen Fei felt a bit awkward since they were friends.

If Ye Fan really didn't intend to sell it, then he would be putting Ye Fan in a spot.

"Shao-Jie, what do you think? I told you Mr Ye wasn't an ordinary person and you didn't believe me

before this. Now you get it? He wasn't just choosing a rock. This rock he chose practically shattered the

earth! He's chosen two rocks today and one had Yang jade while the other had the even more valuable

imperial jade..."

"Mr Ye is simply the most amazing! I don't care whether you admit it or not, but I'm definitely admitting

defeat," exclaimed Shen Fei to Han Shao-Fei and ignored Li Hong-Yuan.

Han Shao-Jie looked at Ye Fan and nodded vigorously too. "Fei, seriously, I don't admit defeat to many,

but Mr Ye is definitely one of them!"

"Miss Qiu, I'm so envious of you. You've married a really good man. You have to thank your lucky stars

that I'm a man. If I were a woman, I'd definitely try to snatch Mr Ye away from you. I'd even rather be a

mistress," said Han Shao-Jie as he looked admiringly at the man in the middle of the adoring crowd.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just stood there and looked at that same man without saying anything. There was a

strange gleam in her pretty eyes.

Lucky? Was she lucky to have married Ye Fan? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Or was she proud? Proud to have such an impressive husband?

Perhaps even Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't sure herself.

At this point, Ye Fan went onstage once more to complete what he wanted to say to the crowd earlier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just an ordinary person, just another face in the crowd."

"Just like what Miss Qiu Mu-Ying over there has said, I was born in the countryside and married into my

wife's family, so I'm not like everyone here who is from an impressive background and with a lot of

money and assets. I am just an ordinary person, and as Miss Qiu Mu-Ying said, I'm just a lowly country

bumpkin.”

"And so I would like to apologize to everyone here and apologize to Miss Qiu Mu-Ying."

"I come from a lowly background and I don't have the right to be here. I don't have the right to appear in

front of the highly dignified Miss Qiu or be part of this jade auction along with her."

"I've dampened Miss Qiu Mu-Ying's spirits and cheapened her status as well as affected everyone's

mood. I am really sorry."

"As Miss Qiu Mu-Ying said earlier, I had fooled everyone and I really don't know anything about rock

gambling!"

"I am so sorry!" Ye Fan's apologetic voice rang through the hall.

If Ye Fan had said these words just ten minutes ago, the crowd would have thought he was really

apologizing.

But now that he had discovered imperial jade, saying these words were really just him showing off.

He had found a rock with imperial jade inside by just looking at it and made history in the world of

Yunzhou's jade trade.

If he considered himself clueless about rock gambling, then what were they considered?

Idiots?
