A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1594
After witnessing the scene, Angie's brother, Michael, dashed forward to ask about how she was doing. Surprisingly, Angie dodged her brother's outstretched arm directly.
Stunned, Michael stared at her with a look of shock.
"What are you doing, Angie?"
Angie did not say a single word as she swept her gaze across her brother's face.
Her gaze slowly landed on Bill, who was standing at the side.
When their eyes met, Bill was stunned.
Is she really my daughter?
Bill could no longer detect the youth and innocence Angie used to have.
All he could see in her eyes was a look ofcoldness.
Suddenly, she had become so different and unfamiliar that Bill did not dare to walk forward and
talk to her.
Amidst this prolonged silence, Angie walked past them slowly.
The family, which used to be so tight-knit, had now become complete strangers.
No one could expect that Angie, who was insisting to meet her father and brothers just half an hour earlier, had become like this. Only silence existed between them. Angie no longer wanted to ask her questions.
Since she already knew the outcome, it was pointless to do anything else.
That would only injure her already broken heart.
Looking at Angie leaving, Bill stretched his hand out, wanting to chase after her and say something. In the end, he gave up. "Angie! Angie!"
Michael was still shouting behind her, but Bill stopped him.
"Dad, why are you stopping me? It's obvious that Angie's angry. We have to explain to her!" Michael urged Bill, feeling anxious.
However, Bill merely sighed. "Explain? How can we explain? Do we tell your sister that we're sacrificing her happiness for the sake of the family?"
"I..." Michael fell silent too. His previous eagerness to explain to Angie disappeared immediately.
Dad is right. Even if I managed to catch up with her, how can I explain? No matter what I say, I still cannot change the course of events.
"Aren't we going in to check on Angie, Dad? I think that she's truly sad this time," muttered Michael, sounding guilty.
Bill did not say anything. Glancing at Angie's retreating back, he sighed crestfallenly. "Isn't it too shameless for us to see her now? Let's go back. I'm sure that one day, Angie will understand our reasons." Bill knew that this was extremely unfair to Angie.
However, as the head of the Jones family, he had no choice.
He should prioritize the family's gains and future.
In the end, neither Bill nor Michael visited Angie.
Before they left, they reminded the elderly men who were guarding Angie, "Take care of her. If anything happens to her, I'll hold you accountable!"
The elderly men nodded in acknowledgement before dispersing. From a hidden corner, they monitored Angie's every movement.
"What should we do with her, Mr. Jones?"
At that moment, someone from the Jones family brought Meng Wanyu, who was severely injured, over.
Bill swept his gaze across her indifferently before waving his hands, signalling for his subordinates to release her.
He even walked forward and asked in concern, "How are your injuries? Are you okay? Please forgive us, Ms. Meng. These old men don't know much and are oblivious that you're Ms. Tang's disciple. Hence, they might have been a bit too heavy-handed.'Tll make them apologize to you personally next time. However, before that, I'd like to give you a piece of advice. Although you're good friends with Angie, there are some things that you shouldn't and cannot interfere with. This is the Jones family's internal matter. Even if your master is here, she cannot meddle in our domestic affairs. Hence, I hope that you'll do what's best for yourself, Ms. Meng."
Bill used a diplomatic approach, first apologizing to her politely and showing her respect.
Then, he warned Meng Wanyu coldly to do what was best for herself.
After hearing what he said, Meng Wanyu's face turned pale. She did not know how to respond to him.
In the end, she said to Bill coldly, "You're a good leader of the family, but not a good father. I hope that when you face Angie in the future, you'll have a clear conscience."
With that, Meng Wanyu limped away, her body still covered in injuries.
"Meng Wanyu has become more arrogant just because her master is the head of the Chu Sect! How dare she intervene with the Jones family's matters and speak to you like that? She doesn't have any respect for the Jones family!"
Michael was slightly furious when he saw how impolite Meng Wanyu was to his father.
He clenched his fists, feeling like his family had just been disregarded.
"Forget it, Michael. She's right. I'm not a good father," replied Bill expressionlessly.
Then, he issued an order, forbidding Meng Wanyu from visiting Angie again.
Now that the wedding day was approaching, they needed to make sure that the bride was safe and that no unexpected events would occur.
Otherwise, they would be held accountable by the Chu family.
After leaving the Jones family, Meng Wanyu quickly returned to Mount Chumen to recuperate.
However, while recovering, Angie's last words to her kept circling in her mind.
"China? Ye Fan? Why is it China again? Since when did Angie get involved with someone from China?" mumbled Meng Wanyu exasperatedly, massaging her forehead.
Due to their past grudges, the Chu Sect did not share a harmonious relationship with the martial artists in China.
Out of all the nations in the world, there were rarely any like China that prohibited Chu Sect members from entering.
Due to China's restraining order on the Chu Sect, the disciples were quite unhappy with the martial artists in China. In fact, they were hostile toward them.
Back then, Meng Wanyu remembered that her master, Tang Yun, had a friend in China.
Tang Yun even asked her to go there and personally relay a message.
She did not expect that even her good friend, Angie, was involved with someone in China. "Looks like I have to go to China again."
Meng Wanyu felt a headache upon that thought.
After all, it was quite dangerous for her to enter China.
If she was captured by the people from the War God Castle, she might not be able to return.
Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, Meng Wanyu was very unwilling to take this risk.
However, she had to fulfil her best friend's only wish.
With only the person's name, it'll be like looking fora needle in a haystack. If I want to find Ye Fan quickly, I need to think of a way to get more information. Meng Wanyu thought about it secretly.
Soon, a person popped up in her mind-Nuo.
"What did you say? Angie likes this guy called Ye Fan?"
The next day, Meng Wanyu asked to meet Nuo secretly. When she asked about Ye Fan, she was stunned.
Initially, she thought that Ye Fan and Angie were only friends.
Never had she expected their relationship to be more complicated than what she assumed.
"That's only my guess. Angie didn't say it explicitly. However, I know her too well. Since I watched her grow up, I can read all of her emotions."
Sitting in the cafe, Nuo smiled. However, his smile was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
