A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1837
As Ye Fan and Junie were enjoying their peaceful moment, a few luxurious cars suddenly drove into an old community in the south district of Livingsfill.
The next moment, a group of people, dressed in bright clothes and carrying a lot of expensive gifts, knocked on the doorof one of the houses.
It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door. Her body had gone out of shape, and her black leggings accentuated that.
The woman was delighted to see those people, especially with the gifts in their hands. "Did Mr. Meng send you guys? Please come in then. Honey, please bring the cigarettes."
Overwhelmed with excitement, the woman invited them in and served them tea.
Just then, the man of the house came out anxiously from the bathroom after pulling up his pants.
The couple did not dare to take the important guests lightly.
"There's no need for the trouble. Mr. Meng is still waiting for us to report the news to him. You should know why we are here tonight, right?" A man with a crew cut, supposedly the leader among them, spoke. "Yes, we do. Mr. Meng has told us on the phone," the woman immediately responded.
"All right. Good then." The leader nodded and threw a card on the table. "There's ten million. If you manage to pull it off tonight, this ten million is yours."
The woman's eyes lit up right away. "Honey, did you hearthat? It's ten million. We wouldn't even be able to earn so much even if we worked till death."
The couple could not suppress their excitement.
"Okay. Calm down for now. It still depends on your ability whether you can get the money or not. Where is Ms. Qiu? Take us to see her first," the man uttered coldly.
"She's inside the house. We will take you to her now." The woman was overwhelmed with joy after knowing about the money.
Without hesitation, she led those people toward a bedroom.
Qiu Mucheng, who was inside her bedroom, heard noises coming from the living room. "Are there guests here?" When she was about to come out and check, she saw her aunt and uncle leading a few men toward her room.
"Huh? Luo Feng, why are you here?" Qiu Mucheng furrowed her brows upon seeing who had come.
Her gaze filled with caution.
"Ms. Qiu, we meet again." Luo Feng displayed a faint smile.
"I have already resigned, so I am no longer an employee at your company. Hence, I don't think we need to see each other again." Qiu Mucheng was not pleased to see them. Upon saying that, she wanted to close the door to stop them from coming in.
"Huh? Mucheng, what's wrong with you? Mr. Luo is the guest here. You should be happy that a distinguished man like him came to see you. How could you chase him away?" her aunt scolded. "Aunt, please stay out of this. You don't know the whole story. No matter what, I don't want to see them." Qiu Mucheng sounded utterly reluctant.
"Ms. Qiu, do you have to go this far? After all, we used to be colleagues, and we are not enemies. Plus, I came here tonight on behalf of Mr. Meng. It has been about three months since you left Meng Group. You should have thought things through by now. So, do you want to be Mr. Meng's girlfriend?" Luo Feng displayed a smile.
"I am sorry, but I have already given you my answer. I have no intention of being in a relationship or getting married. Please tell Mr. Meng that I appreciate his offer, but I don't deserve it. He should find another woman!" Qiu Mucheng was persistent, and she did not give Luo Feng any chance.
Without a doubt, the couple panicked upon hearing Qiu Mucheng's words.
"Mucheng, you brat! What nonsense are you spouting? It's a great honor that Mr. Meng is interested in you! If I were you, I would even wake up smiling in my dreams! Mr. Meng's family is the wealthiest in Jiangbei. If you marry him, you will have a luxurious life ahead of you without any worry! Mucheng, listen to me and take their offer. Go to Mr. Meng tonight and become his girlfriend," the couple urged her earnestly.
Nonetheless, Qiu Mucheng had made up her mind, and no one could persuade her on the matter.
In the end, Luo Feng's tone turned cold as he saw Qiu Mucheng unwilling to comply. "Ms. Qiu, you have stayed for quite a long time in Meng Group, so you should know well about Mr. Meng's temper. He has always gotten whatever he wants. This will be the last time we ask you nicely. If you don't come to your senses and reject our goodwill, don't blame us for the consequences. Soon, you will find out the outcome of going against Mr. Meng in Jiangbei. Believe me. You will be crying and begging Mr. Meng to accept you as his woman by then."
Luo Feng smiled coldly.
"No way! I can't allow you guys to bully Mom!" As Luo Feng was speaking, a boy who was doing homework at the table suddenly ran over and stood in front of Qiu Mucheng.
"Huh? Mom? What is going on here? Since when did you have a son?" Luo Feng's expression darkened instantly upon seeing the little boy.
He did not know much about Qiu Mucheng's past.
He knew she came from outside the province, but he was unaware that she had a child.
"Didn't you say that you were single? Did you lie to Mr. Meng?" Luo Feng shot a glare at Qiu Mucheng.
"Mr. Luo, please don't misunderstand. Qiu Mucheng is indeed single now. She gave birth to this child before she was married. The kid's father is already dead," the couple immediately explained as they were worried the Meng family might not want Qiu Mucheng.
Upon hearing that, Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. "However, this child should not exist either. She should belong to him entirely. How could she have a child of another man?"
Luo Feng's gaze turned cold as he spoke.
Qiu Mucheng was frightened, and she immediately hugged Fan Junior in her embrace. "What do you want to do?"
Luo Feng did not utter anything else as he merely smiled. "Ms. Qiu, you better take care of yourself."
Then, Luo Feng waved his hand toward his subordinates. "Let's go!"
"Mr. Luo, please don't leave. Let's discuss it." The couple was beyond anxious as they saw Luo Feng leaving. They chased after him and tried to stop him.
Nevertheless, Luo Feng showed utter arrogance as he did not turn his head around.
The couple was enraged.
They were so close to getting the ten million and were disappointed in the end.
They went back into the house and scolded Qiu Mucheng wrathfully, "What a foolish woman you are! That offer could have changed your life forever. Why do you want to raise this bastard son alone? And what makes you think you can afford to raise him? If my husband and I didn't help you out, you would be sleeping on the streets right now. Since Mr. Meng has a thingforyou, you should grab this golden opportunity. How can you be so ungrateful! Great. Now you've offended Mr. Meng; let's see how you can survive in Livingsfill in the future!"
Qiu Mucheng fell silent and did not respond to them. It made them even more pissed.
"Get out of our sight now! Our house is not big enough foryour arrogance. If you can't be useful to us, stop burdening us! Get out of here tonight! It's not up for discussion!" The couple had never been so infuriated before.
They had fallen out with Qiu Mucheng and insisted she leave their house.
They figured they had done enough after allowing her to stay with them for such a long time. After all, they were merely distant relatives to her.
Now that Qiu Mucheng had offended someone important, naturally, they would not want to get caught in the middle of it.
