Chapter 266 The Absurdity of Life
But Ye Fan pretended not to have heard Han Hai and the rest.
He had no expression on his face and he looked on icily as he walked on with a domineering aura
around him.
His low footsteps tread upon the stone steps and the echo was deafening.
"He's really nuts! This guy is nuts! A crazy idiot! He's not going to stop until he brings Mu-Cheng down
with him!" Han Hai roared angrily with bloodshot eyes.
Han Fei-Fei was also cursing him angrily.
Sun Yu-Hao looked at the security guards and said angrily, "Security! What are all of you doing?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Aren't you going to chase that idiot out?!''
Sun Yu-Hao and the father and daughter duo were shouting away, while the rest continued to look at
the young man going up the stairs. Some people were puzzled while some were snorting and shaking
their heads. Some were silent and some were cursing away.
It was clear that many of them thought that this young man was a clown who came here to make
trouble.
After all, how could someone standing at the top of Jiangdong be so young? And how could he dress
so simply? His dressing even looked cheap.
So after a lot of people pushed them, the security guards outside the door ran in to capture Ye Fan and
throw him out of the restaurant.
But just at that moment, one of the wealthy distinguished guests took a step forward and clasped his
hands to greet Ye Fan politely, "Mr Chu!"
Huh?
Suddenly the crowd quietened down.
Han Hai and the two with him were shocked.
What...what on earth was going on?
Everyone was equally stunned.
Then a second voice rang out.
Yet another person stepped up from Ye Fan's right to bow and greet him respectfully, "Mr Chu!"
"This...this..."
Han Hai and Sun Yu-Hao felt their faces twitch violently.
Han Fei-Fei stopped cursing away and her eyes were huge and round.
"What...what is going on now?"
While everyone was still reeling in shock, yet another person stepped out, bowed low and greeted Ye
Fan, "Mr Chu!"
BOOOM.
It was as if a huge rock had dropped into the ocean and caused the waves to surge high up into the
sky.
Countless big shots were greeting Ye Fan politely within the hall.
Shen Jiu-Yi took a step forward and led the entire group from Shen Group to greet him politely, "Mr
Chu!"
Peng Zhen-Ying was right behind him with all the directors of Haiyuan Restaurant. They bowed low to
Ye Fan and greeted him together respectfully, "Mr Chu!"
Finally, the boss of Yunzhou, Li Er, brought Jin Bao, Yin Bao and all his trusted men together to clasp
their hands and bowed. They mustered the most respectful and reverent voice as they greeted Ye Fan,
"Mr Chu!"
Their voices soon merged into one.
The polite words and respectful greetings continued to echo one after another.
Everyone in the hall was greeting him one after another. The waves of reverent voices were like the
sea waves crashing upon the sand.
There was only one phrase that echoed continuously in the huge restaurant.
Mr Chu!
It was just two simple words, but they seemed to weigh a ton each and the sound of these words were
ear deafening.
All of a sudden, the whole hall fell silent.
There was no sound left in the hall.
Everyone looked up with fear, admiration, reverence, and shock at that slim figure standing in the
middle of the hall.
Ye Fan was now the center of attention once more.
Right now, he was like a king looking down at his subjects.
He was bathing in glory!
He was in the highest position!
He was one above the rest!
He carried immense prestige and glory as he looked down on his subjects like a king.
Ye Fan was most certainly the brightest star in the sky.
Everyone was shocked into silence.
Han Fei-Fei was rooted to the ground. Her body was trembling and her face was pale. Her mouth was
wide open and she nearly forgot to breathe from her shock.
Her eyes continued to stare straight at that figure that stood above all the other people.
After a long time, she finally managed to utter a few words.
"Ye...Ye Fan...Mr...Mr Chu? How...how could this be?" Han Fei-Fei murmured to herself. Suddenly she
felt like all her energy had left her and her body trembled as she collapsed to the floor with great terror
and bewilderment in her eyes.
It wasn't just Han Fei-Fei. Han Hai looked like he had just been struck by lightning.
The moment he saw how Li Er, Shen Jiu-Yi and countless other powerful men all bow before Ye Fan
and greet him politely as Mr Chu, Han Hai felt like his mind had gone blank. He was completely shaken
and there were violent waves crashing in his heart.
He never imagined that someone who was supposed to be of lowly birth, a useless man who married
into his wife's family, and a cowardly man, would turn out to have such an inconceivable identity.
He never thought that Ye Fan, the man they looked down upon so much, would turn out to be Mr Chu.
Now Han Hai finally understood what Ye Fan had meant by those things he said at Yunwu Lake earlier.
He used to be very curious as to why a country bumpkin and a useless live-in son-in-law like Ye Fan
could look down and sneer at the Sun family, Sun Yu-Hao and everyone else.
So this was where his confidence came
from.
Just like what Ye Fan had said, this was the moment Han Hai finally understood what sort of existence
the man he looked upon with contempt really had.
Han Hai was filled with nothing but disappointment and self-deprecation.
He had put in so much effort to make Qiu Mu-Cheng marry Sun Yu-Hao because he wanted to be
related to someone rich and powerful.
And now he realized that the real big shot had always been by their side, and he had always been his
nephew-in-law.
What a terribly irony.
No matter how Han Hai plotted and schemed, he would have never guessed that this was how things
would end.
If Han Hai and his daughter were already in such shock, Sun Yu-Hao was even worse off.
The one who had suffered the greatest blow wasn't Han Fei-Fei nor Han Hai, but the Young Master of
the Sun family, Sun Yu-Hao!
Sun Yu-Hao was now staring straight ahead at Ye Fan. His eyes were bloodshot and were about to fall
out of his head soon. His entire body was shaking.
Nobody would be able to understand what Sun Yu-Hao was going through right now.
Was it shock? Defeat? Or heartache?
Sun Yu-Hao would never have imagined that the man he respected and admired so much, that the Mr
Chu he saw as his example and even his idol, would have turned out to be Ye Fan. The country
bumpkin and useless live-in son-in-law that he was so disgusted with and looked upon with such
contempt.
These two identities that were as different as the sky from the earth belonged to the same person?
He had spent $200 million just to eat with the one he looked down upon and saw as a useless bum?
This had to be the most absurd thing he had come across in his life.
Sun Yu-Hao laughed. His laughter was so cold, it sounded like the fallen leaves of autumn that nobody
cared about and the snow accumulated in a forgotten corner in winter. His laughter was filled with self-
deprecation and defeat.
"Ye Fan, Mr Chu? Hurhur, Ye Fan, is Mr Chu? Hurhurhur..."
Sun Yu-Hao couldn't walk properly anymore. He laughed coldly in disbelief and his eyes were
completely red as he looked weakly at the man in front who was so deeply respected.
In that moment, Sun Yu-Hao just felt that life had played a terrible prank on him!
