Ye Fan had finally gotten angry.
At first, out of consideration for Qiu Mu-Cheng, Ye Fan had not wanted to go overboard. Doing so would make things difficult for his wife. But Sun Yu-Hao and company had been enthusiastically humiliating him, so it was only natural for him to blow his top. After all, no matter how good-tempered a person might be, he will still get angry if pushed too far.
Pa! Ye Fan slammed his tea cup onto the table, and a cold light glinted in his eyes.
"Oh, you got angry?”
"Young Master Ye, please don't be angry. We wouldn't dare provoke you. After all, you are so awesome. The young master from the Shen family even gave you a diamond ring."
"You are a rich man's son who likes to keep a low profile, while we are poor bumpkins from the countryside. People like us wouldn't dare to provoke someone like you, right?" Sun Yu-Hao said sarcastically, and he laughed. Disdain and mockery could clearly be seen in his eyes.
"Hahaha~"
"Yu-Hao, you are awesome. You did not use a single word of vulgarity when you scolded him."
"Yu-Hao is right. Young Master Ye is a rich man's son. We are just poor bumpkins from the countryside. How could we dare to provoke you?" After listening to what Sun Yu-Hao had to say, Hen Fei-Fei started laughing and went along with the joke.
Ye Fan was not stupid. He understood sarcasm. His expression turned even colder and, after springing up from his seat, he started walking toward Sun Yu-Hao and Wang Hao.
"What?"
"You bastard. Are you trying to start a fight with Mr. Sun?" When Wang Hao saw what was happening, he got up from his seat and stood in Ye Fan's way. It looked like Wang Hao was ready to start fighting at the drop of a hat.
"Ye Fan, what are you doing?"
"Get back to your seat!"
"I am still here, you know? Are you trying to embarrass me?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng had seen what was happening. And she was overwhelmed with anxiety, as she hurriedly stood up to stop her husband.
Sun Yu-Hao had the advantage of numbers on his side. In Qiu Mu-Cheng's opinion, if both parties came to blows, Ye Fan would be at a disadvantage. And even if Ye Fan managed to overpower them, what could he do against the retaliation that would come later?
Sun Yu-Hao's family was powerful. Someone like Ye Fan, who had a weak background, should not try to provoke a behemoth like the Sun family.
That was why Qiu Mu-Cheng had gotten angry and worried. And that was why she had advised him to return to his seat.
"They started it," Ye Fan said coldly.
"Enough!"
"Stop talking."
"If you don't want to stay, then leave. Go home and wait for us there."
Qiu Mu-Cheng was already regretting her decision to bring Ye Fan along.
Ye Fan and Sun Yu-Hao moved in different circles, so there was no way they were going to get along. It was unavoidable that they would come into conflict with each other over one disgreement or the other.
And so, to prevent the situation from worsening, Qiu Mu-Cheng had no choice but to ask Ye Fan to leave.
Ye Fan looked at his wife and, when he saw her eyes that were red-rimmed with anger, he stopped in his tracks. And went back to his seat.
'Shit!"
"You are still not leaving?"
"Mu-Cheng has already told you to leave! Why are you still staying?"
"You are so shameless!"
When Han Fei-Fei saw that Ye Fan was not going to move, she started directing disdainful remarks at the latter.
"Enough! You shut your mouth and stop talking too!" Qiu Mu-Cheng also turned to glare at her cousin, and so Han Fei-Fei stopped antagonizing Ye Fan. She turned around and continued eating, but it was obvious that she was still angry.
Hmph, he's just a bumpkin. What's so great about him? I don't know why Mu-Cheng is siding with him.
After Qiu Mu-Cheng's outburst, both Wang Hao and Sun Yu-Hao also stopped quarreling with Ye Fan.
But since he was not able to openly quarrel with Ye Fan, Wang Hao decided to make insinuations instead.
"Miss Qiu, once you accept a gift from someone, you become indebted to that person.”
"A present given to you does not really belong to you. You have to pay a price for accepting something like that."
"I used to know this guy. A fellow townsman. He had many similarities with Fan. He was mediocre and untalented. But he was strong. For some reason, his boss treated him especially well. They were like brothers. If his boss had any good wine or cigars, he would give them to my fellow townsman."
"And when my fellow townsman got married, his boss gave him a car that's worth several hundred thousand."
