A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1876

"Healing? Was he hurt?" Zhang Zixi was shocked upon hearing what Lu Zimingsaid. Isn't Ye Fan the strongest person on earth? Could it be that there's someone capable of hurting him? "Didn't your grandpa tell you?" Lu Ziming was stunned. Back then, what happened to Ye Fan shocked the whole martial arts world. I thought everyone knew about it? But then again, perhaps it was because of what Zhang Jiuling did.

"It seems like your grandpa was determined not to let his future generations get involved in the martial arts world." Lu Ziming smiled and shook his head.

Since Zhang Jiuling decided against telling Zhang Zixi about it, Lu Ziming didn't reveal much to Zhang Zixi as well.

Instead, he merely said, "The thing is, Mr. Chu is like a legend. Zixi, if you wish to excel in the martial arts world, you should learn from him. I've seen plenty over the years, but I've never met someone as talented as Mr. Chu. Besides, I bet there won't be someone like him again." "Okay." Zhang Zixi nodded profusely. With a determined look in her eyes, she said, "I want to be someone exactly like Mr. Chu. However, Mr. Lu, there's something I can't figure out. Why did someone as incredible as Mr. Chu make an ordinary woman his wife? Before this, I've sounded Mr. Chu's wife out. She's a weak and ordinary woman. Hence, I can't wrap my mind around why did a man with such power fall for an ordinary weakling."

Ever since she met Qiu Mucheng, Zhang Zixi had been pondering over it.

Initially, Zhang Zixi always thought only the strong were worthy of the strong. How is a weakling like her worthy of someone as strong as Mr. Chu?

Upon hearing that, Lu Ziming was taken aback. "What? What did you do to her? Are you insane?"

"I've only tested her out. It's not like I've harmed her or anything," Zhang Zixi explained.

"Still, you shouldn't have done that!" Lu Ziming looked very worried.

"You're such a silly girl! No wonder your grandpa always said you're impetuous! Why did you mess with his woman when you know how capable Mr. Chu is? Luckily for you, Mr. Chu is in solitary training. Otherwise, if Qiu Mucheng complains to Mr. Chu about you, you'd be dead in Nanquan by now." Lu Ziming was so frightened that his face was ghastly white when he warned Zhang Zixi. However, Zhang Zixi was oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. She gave him a brusque response, "You're overreacting, aren't you, Mr. Lu? I was just testing her. Mr. Chu can't possibly decide to have a fallout with the Zhang family over such a trivial matter, can he? Besides, I think he still needs the Zhang family in Jiangbei."

"What do you know?" Lu Clan retorted anxiously. "Do you know what caused the Lu Clan to tumble? It's all my unfilial son's doing! He offended Mr. Chu's wife, Qiu Mucheng. When Mr. Chu found out about it, he stormed into Jiangbei. Starting from Westlake, he went on a killing spree. My poor dad was killed by Mr. Chu on the first day he got the Supreme title. After that, he wiped out the whole Lu Clan. In despair, I brought my son with me and headed toward Mount Yan to hide in War God Castle. In the end, that maniac slaughtered his way toward Mount Yan! Did you know he wanted to fight against Sword Saint just because he wanted to kill my son? If he dared to mess with War God Castle, what makes you think he'd be afraid of your puny Zhang family? In your mind, you'd think that he needs the Zhang family to secure Jiangbei. As far as he's concerned, Jiangbei is just another worthless place. In fact, his vision had exceeded China. He's more interested in the other countries in the world."

While Lu Ziming was telling Zhang Zixi about the past, she was utterly frightened!

She turned pale and was so frightened that she couldn't say anything in response.

Obviously, she didn't expect Ye Fan to be willing to go up against the whole of China for such a weak woman. One could only imagine how much the other women envied her.

"Indeed, he's a legend." Zhang Zixi shook her head and sighed. While she was jealous of Qiu Mucheng, she couldn't hide her disappointment. I guess this is the most romantic thing one could do for the other in the martial arts world. He was willing to go against the whole world just to avenge a woman he loves. If only I'd met him earlier. If I did, I'd do anything to win over him because he's absolutely my type. Not only is he powerful, but he's also a romantic.

After a short moment of silence, Zhang Zixi turned around and headed down the stairs.

"What are you doing? Don't do anything stupid! You won't be able to replace her even if you were to kill her." Lu Ziming panicked and held onto Zhang Zixi.

He was afraid she'd do something rash.

After all, a woman's jealousy could be quite scary.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I won't get under his skin. I'm just going to bring Qiu Mucheng back to Jiangbei. Since he cares about her so much, he might blame us if something bad happens to her." With that, Zhang Zixi drove away to look for Qiu Mucheng.

Initially, ZhangZixi thought Qiu Mucheng might've run away from Jiangbei. To her surprise, she didn't.

After knowing the Meng family had apologized publicly, Qiu Mucheng realized Zhang Zixi had gotten everything settled.

In that case, Qiu Mucheng had no reason to run for her life.

When Zhang Zixi found Qiu Mucheng, she was at the hotel along with Tangtang.

"This is an offer letter from the Zhang family. Tomorrow, bring this letter along to look for my

uncle, ZhangXu. He'll give you ajob in one of the Zhang family's companies. Don't worry about the salary. We'll make sure you're satisfied with it. You'd at least be a manager for one of the branches." Zhang Zixi had gone back to her usual indifferent attitude.

Zhang Zixi loomed over Qiu Mucheng before throwing a document with her grandpa's signature at her.

Liu Yubing's eyes lit up instantly when she heard about the position offered to her best friend, Qiu Mucheng.

"Mucheng, did you hearthat? You're going to be a manager at a branch office! You're going to be a boss!

I don't care. You must make me your deputy, okay?" Liu Yubing was thrilled. She then picked up the offer letter and read through it.

However, Qiu Mucheng was unperturbed. Why do I feel a hint of hostility from her every time I look at her? If she hates me, why is she helping me over and over again? Not only did she take care of the Meng family, but she had also found me such an amazing job.

"Ms. Zhang, I'd like to know something. Why are you helping me? I don't think I have anything to offer in return," Qiu Mucheng said in a low voice.

"Well, good that you know. Indeed, you're worth nothing in our eyes. However, the Zhang family had promised someone to look after you for life. Hence, you're not the reason why we're helping you." With that, Zhang Zixi turned around and was about to leave.

"Who is he? Is it Ye Fan you're talking about? Did he tell you guys all that before he died?" Qiu Mucheng asked.

"That's none of your business," Zhang Zixi answered coldly.

"Fine. Take it back, then. I don't need your alms, nor his promises. I don't want to have anything to do with him again. From now on, please leave me alone." Suddenly, Qiu Mucheng stood up angrily. Her eyes were reddened, and she couldn't help but sob. That man again? What a b *stand! Why can't I shake him off no matter where I go? I've already tried my best to forget about him, and I've even run away from Jiangdong because of that. Why? Why can't I get out of his shadow?
