A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1054 Change in the Xia Family

The protest from the Xia family of Yunzhou attracted Lu Ming-Feng's attention.

"Oh, you two are from the Xia family of Yunzhou? I was about to look for you, but you've stood up by yourselves first." Lu Ming-Feng's mocking glance fell on Xia Xue and Old Master Xia.

"You are the current head of the Xia family, Old Master Xia, right? And this young lady next to you is Xia Xue, the successor you have named, right? I have to say, this pair of twins really look identical," said Lu Ming-Feng amusedly as he smiled faintly. Nobody understood what he was trying to say.

Old Master Xia was also puzzled. The Xia family had no dealings with Fenghua Group, and the Xia family wasn't one of the most powerful families in Yunzhou either, so he couldn't understand why Lu Ming- Feng would suddenly be interested in his family.

Xia Xue's face was pale and her heart palpitated in fear.

She was just a young lady after all, and had never faced anything like this before.

Xia Xue could feel an immense pressure coming from Lu Ming-Feng's glance, and she felt like she was going to suffocate soon.

But Xia Xue grit her teeth and said with as much determination as she could muster, "Stop trying to scare us. We owe Mr Chu everything we have now, and Mr Chu is someone worth being loyal to! The Xia family will not betray Mr Chu, and we will never give in to an evil person like you! I'm very sure Mr Chu will come back. Once Mr Chu returns, all of you will be punished and all of you will live to regret this day!" Xia Xue herself wasn't sure where she found the courage to shout at Lu Ming-Feng from.

But she still felt that it was impossible for Ye Fan to die so easily.

He had been so formidable that even when Liang Bo and Fan Zhong-Xian brought a few hundred men to beat Ye Fan up at the same time, Ye Fan thrashed all of them and came out unscathed anyway. Ye Fan was the most amazing man that Xia Xue had ever seen in her life. She refused to believe that Ye Fan had perished just like that.

Lu Ming-Feng burst out laughing at these words. "Do you think you still have the right to say such things now?"

His faint laughter was accompanied by the opening of the ballroom door.

Everyone watched as a young lady who looked identical to Xia Xue emerged. She was wearing a sexy blouse and skirt outfit that was matched with a pair of silver high heels. Her high quality stockings made her long and fair legs look even more mesmerizing and tempting than they already were.

She gave off a mature yet flirtatious sort of charm.

Sis?'

"Xia Yue?!"

Xia Xue and Old Master Xue's faces fell when they saw the young lady walk in.

They never thought that Xia Yue would appear here.

After the Feast of the Sea and Sky, Old Master Xia had stripped Xia Yue of all her duties within the family because she had offended Mr Chu.

Xia Yue used to be treated like the future heiress of the Xia family, but because of this, she was sent to a rural area to manage some assets that weren't important to the Xia family, and had essentially been sent into cold storage.

On the contrary, Xia Xue was very close to Mr Chu, so the family viewed her as an important member of the clan and decided to make her the next head of the family.

All the glory and power that Xia Yue used to hold was all given to Xia Xue instead.

They were surprised to find that Xia Yue had appeared in Haiyuan Restaurant instead of remaining in the rural area that she was managing.

But Xia Yue wasn't bothered by their bewilderment.

After walking in, she said respectfully to Lu Ming-Feng, "The head of the Xia family, Xia Yue, is willing to acknowledge Mr Lu as my leader! The Xia family of Yunzhou will listen only to you from now on!"

What?

"The head of the Xia family?!" shouted Old Master Xia as his eyes widened in shock.

"Xia Yue, you unfilial daughter! What are you talking about? I'm still alive, so there's no way you can be the head of the family! And even if I were dead, Xia Xue will become the head of the Xia family, not you! You have no right to represent the Xia family!"

"Shut up!" Xia Yue suddenly spun around and her angry, sinister voice exploded.

"The one who has no right to represent the Xia family is you, Xia Dong-Lin! You were the one who made a mistake in our strategy, misjudged others, chose to stand on the wrong side and caused the Xia family to be in such a terrible crisis today. The board of directors have already decided to remove you as the chairman and head of the family so that you can retire early!

Tve already found a place for you to spend the rest of your days. You can just move to one of those old houses in the rural area that belong to the Xia family." Xia Yue smiled mirthlessly, and her heavily made up face was covered with a smug look.

"What nonsense is this! I'm the one who groomed and supported Dong-Hai and the rest all these years! Why would they gang up with you to betray me? It's impossible for them to remove me from my position and force me to retire early!" retorted Old Master Xia. His expression was furious.

"Is that so, Grandpa? You're so confident of yourself?"

Xia Yue smirked and flung an agreement document at Old Master Xia.

"Take a look at this. This document is the agreement that the family board has signed and stamped. It's all real, Grandpa. I'm sure you can verify this better than I can!" Xia Yue continued to laugh smugly. Old Master Xue grabbed the document and started reading it carefully.

"Since Mr Xia Dong-Lin is getting on in age, the Xia family board of directors has unanimously agreed to remove Xia Dong-Lin from all duties within the family business, so that he can retire in advance and stay in the family home to enjoy his old age. His granddaughter, Xia Xue, shall move to the old home in the village with him in order to take care of him."

Old Master Xia started shaking when he read this statement and saw all the signatures belonging to the highest authorities of the family.

"How...how could this be? How could Dong-Hai and the rest oust me like this? How...how could they betray me? How dare they?" Old Master Xia's face was deathly pale as he kept shaking his head in disbelief.

While Old Master Xia was slowly losing control of his emotions, Lu Ming-Feng had reached out to pull Xia Yue into his arms.

Xia Yue let out a coquettish whine as she purposely acted shy while showing off her seductive curves in his arms without resisting him at all.

Lu Ming-Feng smiled at the beauty in his arms as both his hands wandered all over Xia Yue's long and slender legs, gently rubbing against the high quality stockings she was wearing.

This charming and mesmerizing head of the Xia family seemed nothing more than a luxury plaything in his hands.

That was the draw that power and status

had!

Once you made it to the top, you could get anything from wealth to women.

"Old Master Xia, what are your thoughts now? The head of the Xia family is nothing but a toy in my hand. You're just an old man and you think you can go against me?" continued Lu Ming-Feng as he smiled smugly.

"You're getting old, so it's only normal for you to become muddleheaded. It's time you let go of your position. Besides, Yue is both beautiful and talented, plus she knows how to make the right decision at the right time. She's a lot more suited to be the head of the Xia family compared to you. Listen to your granddaughter and just move to your family home in the village to wait for death to befall you!"

Lu Ming-Feng laughed merrily with an arrogant expression on his face. He looked like the victor in a war.

The young lady in his arms looked equally smug and pleased with this situation.
