The Man In Rage novel Chapter 87

Ye Fan had just levied a serious accusation against Han Yue and, as if startled by a peal of thunder, the latter was rendered dumbstruck.

Han Yue's face paled considerably as panic overwhelmed her.

The other guests were shocked as well.

After all, if what Ye Fan had said was true, then Han Yue was truly an unfilial child.

It was one thing to pass off something inferior as something of quality, but it was another matter altogether to claim that a poisonous plant was a tonic. If the old madam had ingested the poison, then perhaps her birthday banquet would have turned into her funeral feast?

"This is bullshit!”

"He is making things up.”

"Mom, don't believe him. He is just a poor country boy! I bet he has never even seen a normal ginseng before!"

"Let alone a wild-grown one!"

"He is just making things up and mixing truth with lies! He is defaming me!"

"Mom, you musn't believe this worthless trash~"

Han Yue was completely panicking and behaving like a mad dog that had gotten its tail stepped on. At the same time as she was pleading with Madam Han for understanding, she was also hurling abuses at Ye Fan.

"You bastard! You are such an ungrateful wretch!"

"All along, you have been freeloading off my niece. And yet, right now, you are spouting nonsense and embarrassing me."

"You...You...You are completely heartless!"

"You came here today to cause trouble!"

Han Yue's body was shivering with rage as she lashed out at Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan only laughed, as if he had just heard the world's funniest joke.

"Auntie, what you said is too funny."

"I am freeloading off Mu-Cheng, but what does this have to do with you?"

"And since you know Mu-Cheng is your niece, why did you humiliate us earlier? Did you consider her feelings then?”

"You called me heartless, but I think you are the heartless one!"

"Even now, you are still denying that you have given a spoiled product to your mother. Have you considered what would happen if your mother believes you and eats it? If she gets sick, can you shoulder the responsibility?"

Ye Fan was not fazed by Han Yue's scoldings. Even as he smiled, he was glaring at her in cool defiance of her anger.

Ye Fan had thrown out a series of questions and overbearingly pushed Han Yue into silence. After retreating a few steps, the latter now stood with her face flushed red.

Finally, Ye Fan took a step forward and addressed Madam Han respectfully. "Grandmother, what I have just said is the truth. If you do not believe me, you can get somebody to smell the so-called 'wild ginseng,' and see if there is really a pungent foul odor. If you still do not believe me, then you may take it to a medicine shop and get a physician to appraise it."

He was confident in the truthfulness of his words and spoke with heavy emphasis.

When they heard what Ye Fan had to say, the guests nearest to the ginseng moved closer and sniffed the air. And then all of them frowned.

"Damn!”

"That live-in son-in-law was right!”

"There really is a foul odor. You can't really smell it when you are far away but, when you get close, you can smell a pungent

odor."

"Unbelievable~"

"This Han Yue is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"She is dressed decently, but her heart is so vicious!"

"She tried to fob off a spoiled ginseng on her mother because she was too stingy to spend money on a birthday gift."

"Look at her. What's the point of having so much money? She isn't willing to spend any money on you. And even tried to poison you with a spoiled ginseng. I think that live-in son-in-law is a better person. Even though his gift is inexpensive, it is still a token of his filial piety."

All at once, the guests in the hall started discussing the matter among themselves. And, one by one, they started to look at Han Yue differently.

Madam Han's eldest son, Han Hai, could not sit still any longer. After all, if his sister had really tried to fob off a spoiled ginseng on their mother, then the Han family would suffer a huge loss of face today.

Just then, Han Hai's face had turned an ugly shade of green. He slammed the table hard and yelled at his sister, "Tell me! What is going on?"
