A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1869

The commotion at the door quickly caught Qiu Mucheng and Liu Yubing's attention. After rushing out, the number of people outside shocked them. Panicking, Liu Yubing asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"What's wrong? Do you not recognize me anymore after so long?"

A young man gradually emerged from the crowd and entered the yard.

The sight of him sent a shiver down the women's spines.

"MengChuan?"

“Mr. Meng?”

Both gasped at the same time.

Given that both ladies had worked in one of the Meng family's companies before, they naturally knew who he was.

Trying desperately to stay calm, Liu Yubing asked

cordially, "Mr. Meng, what brings you here?"

Meng Chuan smiled. "Nothing in particular. I just dropped by to say hi to my former employee. Aren't you inviting me in for a seat?"

"Sure, sure." After being briefly stunned, Liu Yubing nodded and ushered Meng Chuan in.

"Yubing, both of you go ahead and chat. Fan Junior and I will take our leave first."

Since Qiu Mucheng had no feelings for Meng Chuan, she attempted to leave with Qiu Mufan the moment he arrived.

However, before she could even turn around, the bodyguards had gotten in her way by blocking the door.

"Mr. Meng, what is the meaning of this?" she demanded with knitted brows.

Meng Chuan had leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. Picking up the coffee on the table, he remarked with a faint smile, “Mucheng, it's been two years already. Aren't you aware of my feelings by now? What's the point of asking about my intention?"

Qiu Mucheng deepened her frown in response. "Mr. Meng, I feel I have made it very clear that I have no interest in you. There are plenty of girls in Jiangbei who are prettier and more capable than I am. Why must you insist on hounding me?"

"Mucheng, what are you saying? Please mind your words." Liu Yubing stopped her after being shocked by what she heard.

At the same time, she broke into an apologetic smile. "Mr. Meng, Mucheng has been in a bad mood recently. Hence, she doesn't think through what she says. Nonetheless, she has no intention of offending you, and I hope you don't take it personally. Mucheng, what are you waiting for? Apologize to Mr. Meng."

Just as Liu Yubing finished, she gave Qiu Mucheng a look, reminding her to mind her tone.

Neither of them could afford to offend the Meng family.

"Why should I apologize? I was just expressing my honest opinion. What's wrong with that? Yes, the Meng family is extremely influential and can easily get what they want. Nevertheless, you have no right to decide my fate. Meng Chuan, I'll never submit to you. Even if I have to leave Jiangbei, I'll never do it!" Qiu

Mucheng declared through her gritted teeth, while her reddened eyes were filled with defiance.

She had had enough of tolerating Meng Chuan's pressure over the last two years.

Since she had decided to leave, there was no need to endure it anymore.

Qiu Mucheng vented the anger she had suppressed over the last two years out at that moment.

She refused to believe she couldn't find a place to belong after leaving Ye Fan.

Furthermore, she couldn't accept that without Ye Fan's protection, she didn't even have the ability to decide her own fate.

However, Meng Chuan remained calm in the face of Qiu Mucheng's outburst.

He gave her a mischievous look, as if she was a piece of meat to be slaughtered on the chopping board.

"Mucheng, do you know that your defiant character is what I love most about you? Only by subjugating a woman like you would I feel a sense of achievement."

After letting out a faint chuckle, he gestured to his men. "Come, escort Ms. Qiu into the car. Tonight, I would like her to admire the moon together with me at Westlake."

The moment the order was given, the men behind Meng Chuan came forward to seize Qiu Mucheng.

"I dare you! Meng Chuan, let me warn you, I have already called the police, and they will arrive any time now!" Qiu Mucheng threatened loudly.

Meng Chuan laughed contemptuously. "Mucheng, despite having lived in Jiangbei for so long, you have no idea how powerful the Meng family actually is. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter, as there's plenty of time for me to tell you about it tonight."

The moment he finished, a group of men rushed into the house.

"Stop!" one of them shouted before pushing the bodyguards beside Qiu Mucheng aside.

"Ms. Qiu, are you all right?" they asked after securing her in their protection.

Qiu Mucheng nodded. "Shen Fei, Mr. Chu, thank you."

The men who arrived were Qiu Mucheng's old friends, Shen Fei and Han Shaojie.

Alongside them was Chu Wenfei, who almost became her brother-in-law.

When Meng Chuan openly pursued Qiu Mucheng, everyone in Livingsfill knew about it.

That was how Shen Fei and the rest found out that she was there.

Given that she was Ye Fan's widow, they tried their best to get in touch.

After what happened that night, Qiu Mucheng had expected Meng Chuan not to give up that easily.

Therefore, before she returned home with Liu Yubing, she had contacted Shen Fei, hoping they could help her leave Livingsfill.

"Don't mention it. After all, we came from the same hometown and almost became family. This is the least I can do." Chu Wenfei waved his hand casually.

In truth, he had hated Ye Fan while the latter was still alive, as the man had caused him to be humiliated in public and forced him to leave his hometown for Jiangbei.

However, now that Ye Fan was gone, Chu Wenfei felt lost and bored with life.

Only then did he realize he didn't truly resent Ye Fan. He only disliked Ye Fan's arrogant behavior due to the latter's superiority.

Furthermore, he had Ye Fan to thank for most of his achievements because it was his urge to outdo the man that motivated him to give it his all.

After coming to that conclusion, Chu Wenfei couldn't bring himself to hate Ye Fan's family and friends anymore. In fact, he was more than happy to help out.

"You must be Mr. Meng. I'm Chu Wenfei, General Manager of Westlake Heavy Industries. This is my card. Ms. Qiu is a friend from my hometown and the widow of a good friend of mine. Therefore, I hope you will not make things difficult for her on my account.

"To show my appreciation, I will treat you to dinner and get my classmate, Liu Aimin, to join us. I'm not sure if you know him, but he is the captain of the local police force and a hero of Livingsfill Just a few days ago, he solved a major case and arrested more than

ten criminals."

As Chu Wenfei spoke, his tone carried a hint of pride and bravado.

He was someone who was undeniably savvy in his speech.

He would first reveal his position as senior management in an important government industry.

If it didn't work on the Meng family, he would bring up his classmate.

Evidently, Chu Wenfei was trying to intimidate Meng Chuan and warn him not to do anything illegal.

Or else, his friend would apply the full force of the law on him.

"This guy is getting increasingly arrogant."

Behind him, Shen Fei and Han Shaojie couldn't help but give him a thumbs up discreetly.

All this while, Shen Fei had only admired the bravado of one man, Ye Fan.

But now that he was gone, Chu Wenfei was qualified to take his place as the king of arrogance.
