The lobby went quiet, and the atmosphere turned heavy.
After Ye Fan had spoken, everyone else in the lobby went speechless.
They were all looking at him in shock.
As for Sheng Tian and his underlings, they were looking at Ye Fan like he was an idiot.
Immediately afterward, a peal of high, mocking laughter rang out in the lobby.
"Hahaha~"
“Do you a favor?"
"And who the hell do you think you are? Do
I know you?"
"She's your wife? Even if your father is here today, I will freaking take him away as well!"
Sheng Tian and his underlings laughed mockingly, as if they had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
They thought that the shabbily dressed young man had overestimated himself.
Sun Yu-Hao had at least mentioned his father's name, when he was trying to show off earlier. But this young man had not even bothered to borrow anyone else's authority, before asking Sheng Tian for a favor.
Go home and drink your mother's milk.
Who do you think you are?"
"The son of the number one tycoon? Or the mayor of Jianghai?"
"You are just a nobody! How dare you show off to me?"
Sheng Tian, who was still sitting on the wooden armchair, raised his head and looked down on Ye Fan. His voice had an air of superiority and disdain filled his eyes.
But Ye Fan remained composed in the face of Sheng Tian's anger. The former laughed lightly and said, "I am indeed a nobody. But I do know this." He paused and looked at Sheng Tian. "You. Can't afford to offend me."
"Shit! Screw you!"
"Are you trying to get us killed!" Sun Yu-Hao almost wet himself, when he heard Ye Fan's declaration.
He was sure that Ye Fan's idiotic behavior was going to get them killed.
Who was Sheng Tian? He was an underling of Chen Tian-Jiao! Even Sun Yu-Hao's father was insignificant next to the likes of them. Where did a lowly country bumpkin like Ye Fan find the courage to make such a bold declaration?
Shit. If I had known Ye Fan was such an idiot, I would have chased him away during dinner.
Sun Yu-Hao trembled all over, as he lamented inwardly.
He was really afraid that Ye Fan would antagonize Sheng Tian, and turn them into collateral damage.
"Ye Fan, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"Do you have any idea who he is?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
At this moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng had turned as white as sheet, as worry and anger swirled within her.
She was angry at Ye Fan for overestimating his ability but, at the same time, she was also worried for his safety.
Sheng Tian was such a ruthless person. Would he spare Ye Fan, now that the latter had offended him?
"Shit, you moron!”
"You are just a country bumpkin! And a live-in son-in-law! What are you showing off for?"
"One of these days, we are all going to die because of you!” Han Fei-Fei had burst out crying from fear, and was lashing out at Ye Fan.
The surrounding diners looked at Ye Fan and shook their heads.
"Another suicidal person.”
"Isn't it better to live?”
"Even though he is just a live-in son-in-law, he sure has guts."
"Isn't he too reckless?"
The onlookers sighed feelingly.
Just then, Sheng Tian's expression had turned as cold as hell itself. And his face looked as sombre as a tombstone.
"Shit! How dare you insult Mr. Sheng! Are you tired of living?”
Although Sheng Tian did not say anything, his two bodyguards were seething with rage. They stepped forward and readied themselves to go give Ye Fan a beating.
But Sheng Tian stretched out a hand and stopped them.
He sat in his wooden armchair and lit another cigarette. As the smoke swirled around him, Sheng Tian looked at Ye Fan and repeated his earlier performance.
Once again, his sinister voice rang out in the lobby. "Young man, what did you just say? Come over and repeat it to me."
Sheng Tian's words were icy cold, and completely lacking in humanity. The onlookers shivered. They knew that Sheng Tian was truly angry.
