A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 287 Essence of Our Country

Although it wasn't loud, it was very prominent inside the Art Center.

SWISH SWISH SWISH.

All eyes turned towards him.

They heard the voice coming from a slender silhouette as he stood there.

He stood with his hands in his pant pockets and smiled mockingly as he looked around.

The faces of Su Qian and the others darkened as they stood beside him.

"Ye Fan, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Can you quit messing around? Are you trying to kill us?"

Su Qian almost wanted to cry.

At first, she thought all she had to do was to hang out with Ye Fan for a while at the exhibition. Once

she completed her mission, she could go home.

But Su Qian didn't expect the idiotic Ye Fan to say something so arrogant. He was causing trouble by

saying someone else's art was fake.

Would this scoundrel going to die if he didn't cause trouble?

Lu Wen-Jing's little face was also a little pale. She pulled the corner of Ye Fan's shirt from behind as

she said softly, "Fan, stop saying nonsense. You're going to attract trouble."

Even though Ye Fan didn't say it, Lu Wending had a feeling that he was doing it to help get even with

Wang Xing-Duo for her sake.

But Ye Fan laughed gently instead and reached out to pat Lu Wen-ding's little head as he replied her

quietly, "Jingjing, it'll be okay."

"Ye Fan, you AGAIN? You good-for-nothing! Are you too tired of living? Why didn't the security guards

do anything? How can they let a country bumpkin in?"

When they saw that it was Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-

Ying and Chu Wen-Fei instantly blew up.

It was him again. When was he going to give up?

He actually hadn't left and had followed them here instead.

When Wang Xing-Duo looked at Ye Fan, his expression darkened too.

But Wang Xing-Duo didn't reprimand Ye Fan in front of so many people. He remained calm and only

said coldly, "All you did was to take one look at it before you called it a fake. I'm just curious. How can

you say that? Can you give me a reason?"

All eyes were on Ye Fan as they waited for an explanation.

Ye Fan smiled calmly, "The reason is simple. The head of the Shens gave the real one to me. So the

one you possess must be a fake!"

"Fuck you!" cursed Chu Wen-Fei the moment he heard Ye Fan say this. He simply couldn't restrain

himself.

"Ye Fan, I can't believe you had the cheek to say that. It was shameless enough of you to go for a free

meal when Mr Shen invited the family. But instead of being grateful, now you're turning around and

saying that Mr Shen gave this painting to you? Then how do you explain this picture? Are you saying

the photo is fake?"

Qiu Mu-Ying almost died of fury when she heard Ye Fan. "You're just a live-in husband! Where did you

find the guts to say such things? You are just a pauper from the countryside. Did you think Mr Shen

would be blind enough to give it to you? That's a joke!"

As Qiu Mu-Ying sneered, she walked up the stage and told everyone, "Don't listen to his nonsense,

everyone."

"He's just a country bumpkin and a live-in husband. He has no money and no power and has to live off

women. Mr Shen must be insane to give such an expensive painting to someone like him, right? He's

just here to make trouble. He bears a grudge against Wang Xing-Duo for causing delays with the

approval of his wife's company, so he's deliberately causing trouble because he holds it against

Manager Wang! We should just chase scum like him out!" said Qiu Mu-Ying furiously. The people

rapidly gained momentum after they heard her.

"Oh my god! So he's a live-in husband?"

"He's a useless man who had to marry into wife's family? How dare someone like that cause trouble?"

"Hurry up and get lost!"

"Where are the security guards?"

"Make him leave now!"

"How can a good-for-nothing say that Manager Wang's painting is fake?"

"Does it mean all of us combined can't add up to a country bumpkin like you?"

The crowd was all riled up now. They yelled angrily one after another and told Ye

Fan to leave.

"Damn it, you're ruining us!"

Now that the crowd was starting to target them, Su Qian was both angry and terrified. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She was angry with Ye Fan for being idiotic. If he wasn't capable enough, then he shouldn't have acted

tough. He would end up hurting himself instead.

She was worried that all the shoving would damage the work of Zhang Daqian in her hands.

Su Yuan-Shan initially wanted Ye Fan to bring this over for the art exhibit.

But now Ye Fan had caused public outrage and they probably couldn't keep staying here now.

Lu Wen-Jing panicked too. She leaned closely against Ye Fan as her face turned pale. Her voice

choked and trembled as she said, "Fan, let's leave, they are going to beat us up...”

While Lu Wen-Jing and Su Qian were both terror-stricken, Yang Qian seemed completely calm.

She kept looking at Ye Fan secretly.

She was curious to see how Ye Fan would deal with such a situation.

But just as everyone was shouting at Ye Fan and demanding for him to leave, a cold shout came from

beyond the crowd suddenly.

"Silence!"

The angry voice came from a middle aged man dressed in a black suit. He stroke over briskly with four

or five bodyguards dressed in suits behind him.

The crowd trembled at the sight of this man.

"That...that's Luo Da-Hail"

"Isn't he the most famous contemporary artist in Yunzhou?"

"He's the director of the Art Center and the organizer of this event!"

"Why did he personally turn up at such a small scale event?"

Everyone was taken by surprise, but everyone shut up.

Luo Da-Hai was a prestigious name in the Yunzhou brush painting and calligraphy circles. He was so

influential that everyone here gave in to him.

"What's going on? What happened? How did the art exhibit end up being in such a mess? Where's Luo

Feng? I left him in charge of security and to ensure order. Where did he go? Get him to come here right

now!" yelled Luo Da-Hai angrily. The employees behind quickly went off looking for Luo Feng in terror.

"Director Luo, you came at the perfect time."

"Someone has come to the Art Center to cause trouble. He accused Manager Wang of owning a

forgery and shamelessly said we didn't know better."

Many of the people started complaining.

When Luo Da-Hai heard them, he instantly frowned and said, "Really? Where is he?"

"Director, that's him! This brat keeps making trouble, so I hope the director can beat him up and chase

him out!" said Qiu Mu-Ying hurriedly as she pointed at Ye Fan.

Luo Da-Hai looked over, "Young man, how dare you cause trouble here. Security, throw him out!"

His words were chilly and brimmed with rage.

When Su Qian heard Luo Da-Hai's words, she shivered in fright and her hand lost its grip on the

painting, causing it to fall to the floor.

The scroll unraveled along the floor to reveal itself.

When Luo Da-Hai saw it, he trembled. His pupils constricted as he said, "This...this is a treasure."

Wang Xing-Duo thought Luo Da-Hai was talking about his painting when he said this.

He immediately smiled shamelessly and walked over. "That's right, Director Luo. I think my Tang Bohu

painting is a real treasure too. It's definitely a rare treasure!" said Wang Xing-Duo as he unscrolled it for

Luo Da-Hai to see.

But Luo Da-Hai slapped Wang Xing-Duo onto the ground the minute he saw the painting. He tossed it

to the floor and said disdainfully, "What kind of trash is this?"

"It's just a low quality contemporary fake. How can you call it a treasure? Move aside!"

Wang Xing-Duo was stunned.

This...

Trash?

A fake?

Was this painting really a fake?

While Wang Xing-Duo was still in shock, Luo Da-Hai just pushed him aside and walked over to see the

painting that Su Qian had dropped onto the ground. The more he looked at it, the greater his surprise.

"Withered Wood and Stone Painting! Although the brushwork looks careless and uneven, each stroke

was well thought out and intricate. The calligraphy is free and easy and powerful! Even though it is a

fake, it surpasses the original! It's the essence of our country. It's the essence of our country!"

Luo Da-Hai was so exhilarated that he was going hysterical. He picked up the painting and got so

emotional that his hands trembled. He looked at Su Qian as though she was his savior.

"Miss, please tell me. Where did you get this painting from? Why is this Su Dongpo forgery in your

hands? How are you related

to Mr Ye Fan?"
