A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1392 Jiangdong's Crisis

Lv Hua's proposal had clearly crossed the line. This went against Qiu Mu-Cheng's principles and boundaries. Mufan Group had become so rich and powerful in Jiangdong because Ye Fan used his life to fight for it.

Ye Fan had let her take control of Mufan Group because he trusted her.

But now Ye Fan was missing. If Qiu Mu-Cheng decided to remarry now and give away what Ye Fan fought for to the Lv family for nothing, then what sort of person did that make her? Wouldn't that make her an ingrate?

Wouldn't that make her a fair weathered person who went with whoever gave her more benefits at that point in time?

There was no way Qiu Mu-Cheng could possibly do something so despicable.

And even if one day she really chose to leave Ye Fan, she wouldn't bring Mufan Group along with her.

This was Ye Fan's company and it belonged to the Ye family.

She wasn't going to give it to anybody else except a descendant of the Ye family.

But even though Qiu Mu-Cheng had stubbornly and furiously stormed off, Lv Hua didn't panic. He continued to look as relaxed and as confident as he did right from the beginning.

"Miss Qiu, go back and have a good think about it. I'll come and look for you again tomorrow. I'm sure you will eventually agree to this, because you don't have any other choice but to rely on me and my family!"

"You're just a weak woman who can't fight on your own two feet! Without a man, you won't be able to hold onto this empire! HAHA!" Lv Hua's smug laughter continued to echo behind her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng clenched her fists tightly and bit her lips as she marched out of the restaurant without even turning back.

After she got back to Mount Yunding Villa, she called Li Er to come over.

"Miss Qiu, I was about to talk to you about something as well. I found out who those people who tried to kidnap you this morning were. They were hired by someone, and that someone was that Lv Hua, the same man who rescued you in the morning. In other words, this was an act put up entirely by Lv Hua. I suppose he was trying to get into your good books."

"This man is really scheming! Mr Chu isn't around, so you really have to be on high alert so that you don't end up getting tricked by wicked people. Also, I don't think Mr Chu would die so easily. I believe Mr Chu will come back. Miss Qiu, don't give up! You must keep waiting for Mr Chu!" said Li Er in an anxious voice as he continued to advise Qiu Mu-Cheng after he reached Mount Yunding Villa.

Even though Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were husband and wife, it was hard to say what would happen when a crisis struck. It was hard for Li Er not to worry that Qiu Mu-Cheng might find someone else.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was now the most powerful person within Mufan Group, so if she really turned on Ye Fan, then the entire company was going to fall into someone else's hands for sure.

Even though this was Ye Fan's private business and Li Er shouldn't interfere, Ye Fan was Li Er's benefactor after all, so Li Er wasn't going to watch Ye Fan's business fold because of a woman. So before everything was lost, Li Er had to take this chance to remind Qiu Mu-Cheng.

If this wife of Ye Fan's really did anything that crossed the line or betrayed Ye Fan, Li Er wasn't going to remain courteous to her.

He was going to join hands with Wang Jie-Xi, Lei San and the Green Dragons to forcibly remove Qiu Mu-Cheng from the company if that were to happen.

All of them were respectful towards Qiu Mu-Cheng because she was Ye Fan's wife. Nobody would respect her anymore if she were to betray Ye Fan. But of course, that was only if it did happen.

For as long as Qiu Mu-Cheng did not do anything to betray Ye Fan, Li Er would continue to assist her in all matters like he always had.

"So he's really the one behind it after all. Don't worry, I guessed as much." Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't surprised by Li Er's findings.

As Ye Fan's wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't one of those dumb and naive women like those portrayed in those long running drama serials. Despicable tactics like these couldn't fool her at all.

"But I didn't ask you to come here because of this matter. Lv Hua asked me out for a meal just now, and over dinner, he said that he wanted to form an alliance with me..."

Qiu Mu-Cheng briefly recounted what Lv Hua had said to her at dinner to Li Er.

Ye Fan had told Qiu Mu-Cheng before leaving for South America that if anything happened, she could look for Li Er and the rest for help.

And now, she felt that she really needed others to help.

"WHAT?! This bastard! This fucking asshole! How dare he covet Mr Chu's wife?! What an animal! From the moment I saw him, I just knew that this Lv Hua wasn't a good character. So much for being sent by the country to offer condolences to Mr Chu's family! I can't believe he actually tried to take what belongs to Mr Chu! These people are supposed to protect Mr Chu's family, not covet his wife!"

"Miss Qiu, you must never agree to this. This fellow is very wicked and scheming. He pretends to have fallen in love with you at first sight in hope that you would marry him instead. But in reality, he wants to take over Mufan Group! He wants to take you and the empire that Mr Chu has built for himself!" spat Li Er angrily. He was so angry that he was trembling.

He had never seen someone so despicable and shameless before.

It was one thing to covet Mr Chu's assets, but this man also wanted Mr Chu's wife.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't surprised by how angry Li Er was.

She was even angrier than Li Er when she first heard these words.

But anger wasn't going to solve anything.

"I will never agree to this. But I don't think Lv Hua will just stop here. There's a very high chance that he's going to use the power that his family has to fight Mufan Group and create trouble for Jiangdong while spreading news about Ye Fan's death. He's going to make Jiangdong a complete mess so that it would be easy for them to gain a foothold in this province and force everyone to side with them instead. If that happens, it will still be impossible to hold onto everything that Ye Fan has," said Qiu Mu-Cheng worriedly.

She could sense very keenly that this crisis

was primarily because she was in a position that held a lot more power than what she was truly capable of.

In the past, she could still maintain this position because she had the support of Ye Fan.

But once this backer was gone, who in Jiangdong would still want to listen to her?

Lv Hua had been so confident and complacent probably because he realized this as well.

"Well that..." Li Er started frowning as well.

He didn't have any good ideas on how to deal with this situation either.

"Miss Qiu, I've checked up on this Lv family too. They're a martial arts family, so if they really try to stick their nose into Jiangdong, we might really be no match forthem. But we're not entirely helpless. Mr Chu has left us the Green Dragon Force, so they will be the sharpest knife Jiangdong has against these people! If the Lv family really sticks their hand into Jiangdong, we'll have to get

the Green Dragons to chop their hand off."

Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded, then sighed. "That's all we can do for the moment."
