A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1109 The Qiu Family's Current Situation

But while everyone was amazed at how these property magnates were rich enough to decorate an entire city, a middle aged lady was among the crowd and was alarmed to hear what they were talking about. If Qiu Mu-Cheng were here, she would have recognized this lady immediately. This lady was the wife of her father's second brother, Jiang Hong.

Everyone in the Qiu family was familiar with Chu Wen-Fei's name.

Besides Ye Fan, the other non-Qiu family member who had made a splash in the family was this Chu Wen-Fei.

When Qiu Mu-Ying had gotten herself attached to this rich man's son, the entire Qiu family was very excited.

All of them started to look at Qiu Mu-Ying differently because of this.

They once thought that Qiu Mu-Ying was going to marry into a rich and powerful family, and live a life of luxury soon.

At that time, Qiu Mu-Ying was the envy of all the cousins in the family.

Nobody ever asked after Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But fate often had a way of playing tricks on people.

It didn't take long for Chu Wen-Fei to dump Qiu Mu-Ying, while the neglected Qiu Mu-Cheng ended up becoming the CEO of a billion dollar conglomerate with the help of her husband, Ye Fan.

"It's true that nobody knows what will happen in the future. It's simply too hard to predict," sighed Jiang Hong in her heart before returning to Old Master Qiu's house.

Qiushui Logistics and all its assets had been sold to service their debt.

The only thing that had left was this old and rundown house.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's uncles and their families now all lived in this ancient house.

After Jiang Hong got home, she told Qiu

Mu-Ying everything she had heard along the way back.

"What?! Wen-Fei is getting married?! That's impossible! Wen-Fei said he would come back for me! He said that once he had saved up enough and had control over the company, he would persuade his parents to let him marry me. He can't be getting married now. That's impossible!" Qiu Mu-Ying's eyes were bloodshot when she heard these words from her aunt.

Some months back, Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying's wedding had to be put aside because of the tragic events that befell the Qiu family.

The Chu family didn't like Qiu Mu-Ying in the first place, and after the Qiu family went down, Chu Wen-Fei's parents absolutely refused to this marriage. But Chu Wen-Fei's heart was still with Qiu Mu-Ying and refused to listen to his parents.

In his anger, Chu Yang froze all of Chu Wen-Fei's bank accounts, cut off all his sources of income and even repossessed the house he was living in with Qiu Mu-

Ying.

Since he didn't have any source of money, Chu Wen-Fei had no choice but to surrender and left Qiu Mu-Ying to return home instead.

But before leaving, Chu Wen-Fei had promised Qiu Mu-Ying that once he had enough money and had control over his family business, he would come back to marry her.

So, for the past six months, Qiu Mu-Ying had been waiting for him. She had been dreaming of that luxurious life she would lead once she married into his family.

Little did she expect that the next time she heard about Chu Wen-Fei, he was going to get married.

And quite obviously, the bride wasn't her.

Otherwise she would have known about this.

"Mu-Ying, don't be silly anymore. That Chu Wen-Fei was just lying to you in the first place. Our family is already in ruins and we've even offended Mufan Group before. Besides, Wen-Fei's parents don't like you either, so they will never let you marry into the family."

"Yingying, just accept reality. You're so talented and pretty, so even if you don't make it into a top tier family, you could still make it to a fairly well-to-do family too. Don't be so ambitious and just find someone reliable to marry, then you can still live well in the future."

Jiang Hong and some of the other family members tried to console her.

They all knew that Chu Wen-Fei had lied to her in the first place.

But Qiu Mu-Ying continued to imagine those words were true.

It was hard for her to accept reality. Her dreams had all been shattered.

While her family tried their best to console her, the sobbing Qiu Mu-Ying suddenly pushed Jiang Hong away and started shouting at everyone.

"Liars! All of you are just liars! You're all just jealous of me and don't want me to marry a rich man! None of you want me to live well! That's why you're lying to me! Wen-Fei loves me and he won't marry any other woman! I, Qiu Mu-Ying, am destined to become a rich man's wife for sure! No other family is worthy of me! They're not worthy of me!!" shrieked Qiu Mu-Ying furiously before running out in tears. Nobody knew where she was running to.

"Yingying, Yingying! Where are you going?!"

"Yingying!"

Qiu Mu-Ying's parents were afraid that their daughter might do something foolish, so they quickly ran out after her.

Jiang Hong was still wailing on the floor in pain after Qiu Mu-Ying had pushed her so hard earlier.

"Ow! This young woman is really strong!

She wants to marry into a rich family? She can dream on! Doesn't she know what she's really made of? She doesn't have the destiny of a princess but she keeps dreaming of becoming one. She deserves getting dumped! I wouldn't let my son marry an unreasonable woman who only cares about money and power either!" cursed Jiang Hong fiercely with a darkened expression on her face as she finally managed to stand.

"Alright now, that's quite enough," Old Master Qiu reprimanded her. He had heard the commotion outside and came out to have a look too.

"That's quite enough? How is that enough? Am I wrong in saying all that? Don't you know what sort of person that granddaughter of yours is? Not just her -her mother, Wang Qiao-Yu too! These two women are a pair of jinxes and money grubbers! Mu-Cheng was such a lovely child, but this mother and daughter forced her out of the house. If Mu-Cheng hadn't left, Qiushui Logistics wouldn't have gone bankrupt and wound up! The Qiu family business wouldn't have collapsed overnight like this!"

"I said, enough!" shouted Old Master Qiu again as his face reddened. "Shut up, you hear me?"

"My goodness, how could you get angry too? Besides the members of Qiu Mu-Ying's household, the next person who doesn't have the right to be angry is you! If you hadn't favored this stupid Qiu Mu-Ying and chased Mu-Cheng out instead, the number one corporation in Jiangdong today wouldn't be Mufan Group, but Qiushui Logistics! The Qiu family would have also become the most powerful family in all of Jiangdong! We wouldn't have to huddle together in this tiny place like a bunch of stray dogs!"

"You are to blame for how broken this family has become! If I were you, I'd have smashed my head against the wall to make it up to my descendants!"

Jiang Hong's words were nasty and everything she said stabbed in Old Master Qiu's heart like a knife.

Nobody else said anything and just quietly let Jiang Hong shout at Qiu Zheng-Lun.

After all, Jiang Hong was speaking the truth. If Qiu Zheng-Lun hadn't made all those decisions back then and trusted the wrong person, the Qiu family wouldn't be in such dire straits now.
