The intention to walk forward disappeared.
Li Lu-Bin froze where he was and his face was livid.
He thought that Ye Fan had called him back to express his gratitude.
He never thought that Ye Fan was going to turn his offer down.
It felt like Ye Fan had just slapped him in the face.
The things that Ye Fan said made it awkward for Li Lu-Bin and he didn't know how to respond.
Now everything that Li Lu-Bin said before that had become like a joke.
Li Lu-Bin was now extremely furious.
But he didn't explode instantly. Instead, he suppressed the fury in his heart as he turned and glared at Ye Fan as he spoke in a menacing voice, "Young man, do you know what you just said?"
"For Xiao-Hong's sake, I'll give you another chance to rephrase yourself. This time, think carefully before you speak!"
Li Lu-Bin frowned deeply and his cold eyes looked on icily at Ye Fan.
He was trying to make things less awkward for himself.
It was embarrassing to be refused in this manner by someone younger after all.
Of course, if Ye Fan quickly apologized and humbled himself, Li Lu-Bin could consider pretending that he hadn't heard anything and continue to offer this generosity to Ye Fan.
"Mr Chu, please...don't..." Li Xiao-Hong knew that her father was probably really angry now and she didn't want her father and Ye Fan to continue being at loggerheads. So she looked towards Ye Fan hopefully.
She hoped that Ye Fan could say something nice and not fight with her father like this.
But Li Xiao-Hong was going to be disappointed.
Li Lu-Bin wasn't Ye Fan's in-laws, so Ye Fan wasn't going to give in.
Ye Fan wasn't polite to Li Lu-Bin's threatening voice at all. "Mr Li, as I said, you can take back the so-called generosity that you've offered. I don't need it."
"No matter how many times you ask me, I'll say the same thing. I don't need to prove myself to anybody. And even if I do, that person would not be you! A hotel boss is not qualified to be in such a position," Ye Fan spoke icily and his words clanged loudly like gold dropping to the floor.
Li Lu-Bin was livid and his fury exploded, "You arrogant little punk!"
"How boastful! And you say that I'm not qualified? You're just an unknown country bumpkin! How dare you look down on me! You're seriously just an ignorant fool! An idiot like you can forget about marrying my daughter! I'd rather she married a dog instead! You can't even tell when someone is being nice to you or when someone is being magnanimous!"
Li Lu-Bin was furious.
He was nearly going mad from his anger.
He had put his prejudice aside and was sincere about offering Ye Fan this chance.
And now this young fellow didn't care for it and even said things to provoke him?
This fellow was just an unknown country bumpkin! Where did he get the guts to do this?
But Li Lu-Bin didn't realize that while his offer and his words were really a wonderful opportunity to most people, and most people would have thanked him profusely by now, the man he was now facing was Ye Fan!
These words were magnanimous to others, but they were contemptuous and humiliating to Ye Fan.
Since things had become like this, Li Lu-
