The Man In Rage novel Chapter 423

"What business are you in, Mr Chu?" asked Li Lu-Bin's wife, Sun Li-Ping, courteously with a smile while they were at the dinner table.

Ye Fan shook his head and replied, "You've mistaken Mrs Li, I'm a farmer's kid just like Xiao-Hong. I grew up in the countryside and my family farms too. I don't have a rich and powerful background, so I'm no big shot. If you must insist, then the land which my mother and I till is our greatest support."

Ye Fan's voice sounded absolutely calm when he spoke. He neither had the intention to withhold any information nor did he find it embarrassing to talk about.

He never attempted to hide his background whenever people asked as he found it unnecessary.

So when the Li family asked, he simply answered honestly.

Even if the Chu family asked about this, he would still give the same answer.

From the moment Ye Fan was driven out of the Chu family, he was no longer their eldest son.

He only recognized himself as a farmer's child!

Ye Fan would give the same answer whenever someone asked, regardless of the occasion.

He would never feel low self-esteem because of his mother's background.

Moreover, so what if he was from the countryside?

So what if he came from a low-income family?

His family background never prevented him from becoming powerful.

So Ye Fan never felt that his background was important.

Just like Zhao Li-Chun told Ye Fan back then, talented people also existed in remote and backward places.

Despite his lowly family background, he wielded great power!

"What? Are you a farmer's son? Are you from the countryside too?”

But Sun Li-Ping immediately went into a daze and stopped smiling when she heard him.

The moment Li Yuan heard him, she was even more gleeful.

"Tsk, I thought this woman from the countryside landed herself a rich and powerful boyfriend, but it looks like he's a country bumpkin too. Birds of a feather flock together. Then again, why would a rich young master be blind enough to fancy a woman from the countryside?" sniggered Li Yuan as she looked at her half-sister, Li Xiao-Hong, with even more contempt.

Li Yuan looked down on old country bumpkin like Li Xiao-Hong from the beginning. It was an insult to be related by blood to someone like this woman.

She even found it dirty to eat with the likes of Li Xiao-Hong.

"Yuanyuan, how can you say that? Mr Chu is just being modest. The truly rich and powerful are very low key when they go out. The richest man of Yanjing was simply dressed in a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt when I bumped into him. It's all about going back to the basics. Glory won't mean a thing after you genuinely consolidated great wealth and power. Right, Mr Chu?" said Li Lu-Bin politely.

Li Lu-Bin didn't believe that his daughter would lie. How could Li Xiao-Hong have lied when she said Ye Fan was an influential man in Jiangdong?

Li Yuan continued to ridicule Ye Fan, "Dad, it's not enough to just claim that he is a big shot. Didn't he bring us presents? Why don't we take a look at them now? Then we can find out if Mr Chu a poor man or a big shot! No matter how low profile rich people might be, they can't keep a low profile about the gifts they give their friends. They certainly can't hand out trash, right?" said Li Yuan coldly. Li Lu-Bin nodded too.

Li Lu-Bin's daughter was right. No matter how low profile some rich men were, they didn't give out poor gifts.
