A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1838
Qiu Mucheng had not had many opinions regarding her aunt and uncle's decision to chase her out.
She had been thinking about moving out for quite some time anyway.
Initially, she did not intend to stay at her relative's house. However, she had no choice as she did not have enough time to find a place to rent.
Her aunt and uncle said they had an extra room that had not been occupied for a long time. Hence, they suggested that Qiu Mucheng should stay with them.
Of course, Qiu Mucheng had not taken advantage of them duringthis period.
She paid them a monthly rental fee based on the market price, and she was the one who paid the electric bill and the water bill.
To put it precisely, it cost her even more compared to renting a room elsewhere.
Plus, the house was located further from Fan Junior's school. Thus, Qiu Mucheng had been considering moving out of there.
She did not have the chance to voice it out before, and now she did.
After hearing what her aunt and uncle said, she did not say anything. Without delay, she packed her stuff and left with Fan Junior.
The couple stomped their feet in rage as they watched Qiu Mucheng leaving without hesitation.
"What a heartless person you are! Are you going to leave just like that? What an ungrateful wretch! If we didn't take you in back then, you and your son would have frozen to death on the streets. We shouldn't have let you live with us in the first place! Even an animal knows how to appreciate those who help it. You are worse than an animal!" Their chests heaved as they could not suppress their fury. Initially, Qiu Mucheng intended to ignore them. However, their words were too harsh for her to stay silent.
"Aunt, I am truly thankful that you had let me stay with you. But I disagree if you say I am not grateful. During my stay here, did I ever not pay my rental fee? If I rent another place, it will only take me less than three thousand for a unit with two rooms and a living room. I only rent a room here, yet I pay you two
thousand and five hundred monthly, three thousand if I include the water and electricity bills. Aunt, do you think that's fair? We both know who is the heartless one here!" Qiu Mucheng turned around and left abruptly without looking back after spitting out those words.
"D*mn it! This brat has a quick mouth! She's driving me crazy!"
"But Honey, I think maybe we shouldn't chase her out. We will be earning two thousand less every month. That's almost equal to thirty thousand per year. I don't think we would ever find such a good deal again."
After Qiu Mucheng left, the couple vented to each other.
However, they soon realized they were the ones who suffered the biggest loss.
They regretted it instantly and immediately called Qiu Mucheng and asked her to move back in.
Regardless, there was no way Qiu Mucheng would go back after moving out.
I am not a fool. Why would I spend more money to be treated disrespectfully? It's better for me to rent a new place!
Nonetheless, it needed time to find a place to rent.
With that, Qiu Mucheng had no choice but to stay at a hotel for a few days.
The night passed quickly and soon it was morning.
The following day, Ye Fan and Junie woke up early. After freshening up, they walked toward the door.
"Aren't you guys going to have breakfast?" Yue Yingchun's voice sounded from behind.
"No, thanks, Mdm. Yue. We are in a hurry. We don't have time for breakfast." Ye Fan waved his hand at them and disappeared into the horizon with Junie.
"Young people nowadays lead a stressful life. They don't even have time to eat breakfast. It's hard for them to earn a living, especially for someone who doesn't have much educational background. It's still better for a female as she can marry a wealthy man. But what about Ye Fan? He is almost thirty, but he still doesn't have a stable job. I wonder if any woman will be willing to marry a man like him." Yue Yingchun and Hu Yipeng heaved a sigh.
"Mom, I can marry Ye Fan." Just then, Tangtang raised her hand and offered.
Yue Yingchun cast a glare at Tangtang. The three of them continued eating their breakfast.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Junie boarded the bus and headed toward Livingsfill Association to participate in the auction.
"Junie, Han has given us two hundred million, hasn't he? It doesn't cost much to hail a cab. So why do we need to take the bus?"
It was peak hour so the bus was fully packed.
Some disheveled-looking men tried to get close to Junie.
Naturally, Ye Fan would not allow them to have their way.
He used his body to protect Junie and tried to let no one come near her.
"Do you think two hundred million is a lot of money? Do you know how precious the thing we are going to bid on is? I am even worried that two hundred million might not be enough." Junie furrowed her brows, utterly troubled.
Previously, Ye Fan possessed wealth beyond any dream of avarice.
However, during these two years without Ye Fan, Dragon God Hall had more or less dispersed.
Even Mufan Group that Ye Fan founded was facing bankruptcy.
Han had exhausted all his resources to collect the two hundred million.
They used to think money was insignificant in life while they were rich.
Since they lacked money at the moment, only then did they realize one could hardly survive without money.
Just then, the bus went past a bus stop.
Junie inadvertently caught sight of a portrait poster on the billboard at the bus stop. "Huh? Ye Fan, look over there. Isn't that your wife?"
That woman in the poster looked exactly like Qiu Mucheng.
Ye Fan was startled too as he stared at it. "Indeed."
Just then, a stranger standing beside Ye Fan patted the latter's shoulder. "Hey, you can't simply spout nonsense like that. Watch your mouth. You might even lose your life for what you said." "What do you mean?" Ye Fan could not wrap his head around it.
"Don't you know? The woman in the poster is the one that Mr. Meng Chuan from the Meng family likes. Mr. Meng is pursuing her crazily right now. If you don't believe me, look at the advertisement at the back of this bus."
Ye Fan turned around and glanced at the back.
Indeed, there was another poster of Qiu Mucheng inside the bus, and there was a line written on it: Mucheng, you will eventually become my bride.
"That's not entirely it too. Wait and see. The whole city will be filled with Mr. Meng's love messages in a short time. It will be full of this kind of poster. Every citizen in Livingsfill will know that this woman belongs to Mr. Meng. So, sir, I advise you to watch your mouth. If you address this woman as your wife, you might lose your life," the stranger reminded with
concern.
"That sounds ridiculous. This Mr. Meng is still pursuing this woman, and she has not even agreed to be with him yet. How could she already belong to him?" Ye Fan furrowed his brows.
"Sir, you are not from around here, right? The Meng family is the wealthiest in Jiangbei. Anyway, Mr. Meng has toyed with countless women over the years. Some women refused to accept his love. But, in the end, all of them submitted to him."
"The pressure from the Meng family isn't something we, as ordinary citizens, could bear. Especially now that many people have known about it. Believe me. Mr. Meng might not even need to make a move himself; many people will try to get this woman to him."
"Everyone in Jiangbei wishes to flatter the Meng family!"
Inside the bus, the passengers started gossiping about the Meng family.
Some among them felt pity for the woman in the poster.
"What a pity. She looks like a fine woman..."
