The Man In Rage novel Chapter 447

"Hmm? Xiao-Hong, why are you here?" Ye Fan was slightly surprised to see Li Xiao-Hong.

He remembered he had already turned her invitation down in the morning. He didn't expect her to come looking for him instead.

"Mr Chu, my father and I are here to apologize. I'm really sorry about the last time you came over, things turned out to be such a mess in the end. I was afraid that I wouldn't have the chance to apologize to you once you return to Yunzhou, so I decided to come over. I hope you don't mind?" said Li Xiao-Hong cautiously as she stole glances at Ye Fan while keeping her head lowered.

Xu Lei realized that these were Ye Fan's friends, so she excused herself and went to sit at another nearby table instead so that she wouldn't interrupt Ye Fan's conversation with them, and offered her seat to the two of them.

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed quietly when he heard how shy Li Xiao-Hong was.

"Why would I mind?"

"Since you're already here, do have a seat. Uncle Li, do take a seat too."

Ye Fan smiled and invited both of them to sit with him.

After that, Ye Fan poured tea for both Li Xiao-Hong and Li Lu-Bin.

Li Lu-Bin quietly responded, "You're really familiar with how to do this. I suppose you've done quite a bit of serving tea and pouring drinks.”

Ye Fan frowned and was a little confused. He didn't understand what Li Lu-Bin was trying to say.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Don't you remember what you promised me before coming here?" grumbled Li Xiao-Hong as she turned to her father.

Li Lu-Bin just smiled gently. "Xiao-Hong, I'm just joking with Mr Chu."

Ye Fan also smiled. "Uncle Li, and Xiao-Hong too - don't call me Mr Chu, you can just call me Fan. Otherwise it makes us sound so estranged."

"Sure, I'll call you Fan then.” Li Lu-Bin agreed readily, then glanced at Xu Lei before continuing, "I suppose that lady over there is someone with a fairly high status, right?"

But before Ye Fan could reply, Li Xiao-Hong proudly cut in, "Daddy, I told you about Miss Xu before. She's the richest person in Yunzhou and started up Hongqi Group all by herself, turning it into a corporation worth hundreds of millions. I used to work at Hongqi Bank, and the head of the bank was also Miss Xu."

The disdain on Li Lu-Bin's lips immediately intensified.

It was just as he thought.

"Fan, it looks like you've found yourself a good boss. But it's best if you were able to hold your own. No matter how good your boss is or how excellent your workplace might be, if you're not a capable person and you only know how to suck up to others by serving tea and pouring drinks, that's not going to work out," said Li Lu-Bin with a cold smile. His words sounded rather sarcastic.

Ye Fan frowned once more as he put his teacup down and asked in a low voice, “Mr Li, what do you mean?”

"Since you've asked, then I'll go straight to the point.” Li Lu-Bin's expression also darkened and he started speaking very seriously to Ye Fan.

"To be honest, I didn't like you very much from the beginning. If Xiao-Hong didn't keep speaking up for you, I wouldn't have bothered to take time out from my busy schedule just to see you.”

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Li Xiao-Hong immediately became anxious and interrupted her father when she heard what he said.

She thought that her father was serious in apologizing to Ye Fan.

But it looked like she was wrong after all.

The things that her father said were so hurtful even when she heard them, so wouldn't they be even more hurtful to Ye Fan?
