A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1076 Thinking of Leaving?

"Huh? Why is it you? Mum, Dad, what is going on?" Qiu Mu-Cheng's face immediately fell when she saw Xur Shao-Hua.

She had a bad feeling that her parents had lied to her.

She ignored Xur Shao-Hua and turned to question her own parents directly.

"Mu-Cheng, what is the matter with you? Young Master Xur is talking to you, but you're so rude to him. Hurry up and thank him for being so kind to you!" Han Li glared at Qiu Mu-Cheng to signal to her to watch her words so that things wouldn't become awkward.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng refused to take the hint.

She was furious that her parents had lied to her like this!

"Enough! Mum, Dad, what are the two of you trying to do? You lied to me so that I would come here to meet him? Don't the two of you know that he was the one who destroyed Mufan Group? And I was nearly killed by him too! And because of him, Qing Tan is still lying in hospital right now!"

"I really don't get it. Why don't the two of you use your brains or have a stand on anything you do? I will say this one more time. I am already married. I will only be Ye Fan's wife, and I will marry nobody else bu Ye Fan. Everyone else can forget it!" Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were bloodshot. She was going insane from how angry she was with her parents.

Even though Xur Shao-Hua hadn't said anything, Qiu Mu-Cheng knew her parents well enough to know what they were up to.

They had lied to her to make her come here so that they could matchmake her with Xur Shao-Hua.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng simply couldn't understand why her parents refused to learn from the past. She had quarreled with them so many times because they kept doing such things and Ye Fan had completely fallen out with them too.

In the past, she could still understand their perspective a little. They despised Ye Fan for being a good-for-nothing who stayed at home to be a live-in son-in-law, so they desperately tried to get her a better husband.

But now?

Ye Fan had become the King of Jiangdong and held onto Mufan Group, a corporation worth millions.

Why were they still so discontent? Why were they still pulling such stunts?

"Shut up! You terrible girl! So you've even learnt to talk back to us now? I just knew a gangster like Ye Fan would be a bad influence on you! Look at you now! You're so rude and treat your parents so poorly! How dare you shout at us in public! We're your parents! Without us, you wouldn't exist!" shouted Han Li angrily at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"It's true that we've lied to you, but why do you think we did that? We did that for your sake! No matter how amazing Ye Fan is, he's nothing but a gangster. It's true that he did quite well for a while previously and even established Mufan Group for you, and held onto millions in funds. But you know very well how he amassed all that power and wealth! He must have dabbled in illegal dealings to get all this! So even i Mufan Group didn't fall at Young Master Xur's hands, the government would eventually get to you. If that happened, then you wouldn't just go bankrupt, but you would have to go to jail as well." "Anyway, Ye Fan's already dead, so even if you find a new husband now, you wouldn't be considered being unfaithful to him either," Han Li continued trying to change Qiu Mu-Cheng's mind.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and said, "Mum, don't you feel the least bit guilty saying any of these things? You say that Ye Fan is a gangster and he attained his wealth through illegal means. Then tell me, who paid for the house you live in now? The jewelry you're wearing? Your daily living expenses? All of this is Ye Fan's money! When you spent all this money, you never talked about how this was dirty money! But now you actually have the cheek to say something like this? Don't you feel guilty? Don't you have any shame?"

Back when Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng first fell out with Han Li and Qiu Lei, they had moved out from Liuyuan Residential District in anger.

For a long time after that, Han Li and Qiu Lei didn't contact the couple either.

But after Mufan Group was established and Ye Fan was crowned the King of Jiangdong, the money grubber Han Li and Qiu Lei quickly went looking for their daughter.

Since they were her biological parents after all, Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't bear to really ignore them altogether.

As a result, she started to give them a monthly allowance, and even bought them a large apartment in the heart of town.

But she never told Ye Fan about these things.

Firstly, it was because Ye Fan was always very busy and wasn't home often, so she didn't really have the chance to tell him. Secondly, it was because she was afraid that Ye Fan would get angry.

Ye Fan and her parents were on extremely bad terms after all.

During the first three years of marriage, Ye Fan had suffered a lot of verbal abuse and nastiness from her parents.

She was sure that Ye Fan didn't have any good feelings towards her parents.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to give her parents money without telling Ye Fan.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was really worried for nothing, actually. Ye Fan wouldn't have said anything even if he knew about it.

No matter how awful Han Li and Qiu Lei were, they were Qiu Mu-Cheng's parents after all, and she was obliged to care for them in their old age. It was fine as long as he didn't have to see them.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was shocked that all of this hadn't changed her parents' attitude towards Ye Fan the slightest bit. They continued to despise Ye Fan just like they always had. This ungrateful behavior really made Qiu Mu-Cheng hit the roof.

"Alright now, that's quite enough. Why do the two of you always quarrel when you meet? Stop shouting at one another," Qiu Lei quickly cut in when he noticed that things were getting unpleasant. "Mu-Cheng, don't blame your mother. She's done this for your own good. I'm sure you know what sort of background Shao-Hua has. He's from a powerful family in Yanjing and his father is a major general in the army. His grandfather was an admiral who even fought alongside this country's forefathers! That's as good as saying that their family is an aristocratic family! He's so much better than that Ye Fan, who's just a boy from the village and has nothing else but brute strength." "Young Master Xur is so devoted to you and doesn't even mind that you've been married before. He's even given your mum and I a house worth more than $100 million too. It's really your honor to catch Young Master Xur's eye. Be a good girl and cooperate, will you?" Qiu Lei also tried to change Qiu Mu-Cheng's mind.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't want to hear any more of this.

She had heard such words so many times since she was a child.

They were always like this. They would claim to be doing something for her good, when it was actually doing her harm.

"Do the two of you only care about one's family background and money? Have you never considered your own daughter's feelings?" yelled Qiu Mu-Cheng disappointedly at her parents with reddened eyes. After that, she didn't want to linger around anymore, so she turned and wanted to leave.

But Lu Ming-Feng stood in her way.

"Miss Qiu, are you thinking of leaving? What do you take Shao-Hua as? How dare you play him out like this? Did you think you could just come and go as you please?"
