A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 387 What? Qiu Lei and Family?

What?

Mufan Real Estate?

It felt like a slap in the face and all the Qius were stunned.

When they heard what Li Xue-Qi said, their eyes nearly fell out of their heads.

"Miss Li, did you make a mistake? Mufan Real Estate is just a tiny company, and it's worth your time?" asked Wang Qiao-Yu in disbelief.

"Exactly, that family is made up of a bunch of useless fellows, and the CEO is even married to a live-in son-in-law. Why would such lowly people be worth your time?" said Jiang Hong with her eyes wide. She couldn't believe it either.

Qiu Guang also looked completely surprised as he came forward. "Miss Li, are you sure you're going to attend Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony and not Qiushui Logistics' ribbon cutting ceremony?" Li Xue-Qi started to doubt herself when everybody looked at her so disbelievingly.

Could she really have made a mistake?

She suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned to the one who had taken the gift from her, Qiu Mu-Ying to ask, "Could I check if you are Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng?"

"Of course not! How could I be the woman of that useless bum?" Qiu Mu-Ying immediately denied it.

She looked down on that couple the most. Someone had actually asked if she was Qiu Mu-Cheng, so Qiu Mu-Ying reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and instantly reacted negatively. When Li Xue-Qi heard this, she felt like she had been put on the spot.

This was really awkward now.

"Then, could I ask which one of you is Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng?" asked Li Xue-Qi again as she began to perspire.

"Miss Li, why are you asking about her? Qiu Mu-Cheng and family doesn't know what's good forthem and allowed themselves to fall from grace by doing all these embarrassing things. And now they're even trying to hold some pathetic opening ceremony across the road," said Wang Qiao-Yu in a mocking voice.

What?

Across the road?

Li Xue-Qi got a shock when she heard this.

She quickly looked across the road and noticed the three inconspicuous words on the door - Mufan Real Estate.

"Aha, that's the right place." Li Xue-Qi immediately smiled awkwardly and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I came to the wrong place. I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble." Wait, what?

"You've come to the wrong place?" Qiu Guang and the rest were confused.

They felt like they had been struck by lightning.

What the hell was going on?

Shen Jiu-Wan had walked to the wrong place earlier, and now this Li Xue-Qi too?!

What the hell?!

What was going on?!

The Qius were on the verge of going mad.

They had been so happy earlier and it was all for nothing?

Their faces twitched uncontrollably and their hearts were filled with shock. Li Xue-Qi did not stay a moment longer once she realized she was in the wrong place and quickly turned to leave. But of course, before leaving, Li Xue-Qi was going to take that necklace back.

That was a present for Mrs Chu, and Li Xue-Qi wasn't going to let this woman who popped out of nowhere have it for nothing.

In fact, Li Xue-Qi was feeling quite angry about this.

This Qiu Mu-Ying was really shameless. This present wasn't for her but it didn't seem to matter to her.

Did this woman think that anybody could accept a present from her family?

Didn't this woman know what she was really worth?

But Li Xue-Qi didn't say any of this out loud. After all, she had gotten the wrong place and the wrong person, so it wasn't entirely Qiu Mu-Ying's fault. She was going to let it go after taking back the necklace. But after Li Xue-Qi tugged at the necklace, she realized that Qiu Mu-Ying was actually still holding onto it.

"Miss, please let go," said Li Xue-Qi with a faint smile and tried to remain polite.

"This is my necklace, so why should I let go?" Qiu Mu-Ying refused to let go.

Li Xue-Qi didn't know what to say. She smiled in frustration and said, "Miss, I was the one who bought this necklace with my own money, so when did it become yours?"

"But you gave it to me earlier, so it's mine."

"Why you...!"

Li Xue-Qi couldn't believe what she was hearing.

She felt indignant and amused at the same time.

She wondered how such a shameless person could exist in this world.

She was so glad this woman turned out to be the wrong person.

Otherwise, if this woman was really Mr Chu's wife, then there would be no peace in Jiangdong.

"Miss, let me repeat this slowly. This Hall of Riches necklace is my gift to Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng, and not you. Do you understand me now?" said Li Xue-Qi as she tried to hold her anger back.

But Qiu Mu-Ying wasn't having any of it. No matter what Li Xue-Qi said, she continued to hold onto the necklace and refused to let go.

"Miss, if you don't let go, don't blame me for getting nasty."

Li Xue-Qi was getting angered by Qiu Mu-Ying's shamelessness and her tone grew cold as she gave Qiu Mu-Ying an ultimatum.

But Qiu Mu-Ying still didn't intend to let go.

Li Xue-Qi decided that it was pointless being polite with her. She gave a quick push and pull, and didn't just get the necklace back in one good piece, but also managed to push Qiu Mu-Ying onto the floor in front of everyone.

Li Xue-Qi was trained in martial arts herself, and she had learnt many techniques and trained herself well under several masters. When it came to strength, even men might lose to her, never mind this petite little Qiu Mu-Ying.

Li Xue-Qi had been kind enough to wait till now to make a move. If this was her house, Li Xue-Qi would have whacked all the teeth out of Qiu Mu-Ying's mouth by now.

"I tried to be nice at first but you didn't appreciate it, so you deserve what you got! How dare you covet something meant for Mrs Chu? Who do you think you are?" Li Xue-Qi scoffed and walked out with the necklace towards Mufan Real Estate without turning back.

While Qiu Mu-Ying was still sprawled on the floor, screaming and bawling in pain.

"AHHH.Jt hurts! That little bitch dared to hit me?! She's doomed, I'm declaring it now, she's doomed! Wen-Fei, teach her a lesson for me! I'm going to make her regret this!" yelled Qiu Mu-Ying angrily. After suffering such humiliation, Qiu Mu-Ying was filled with great hatred and indignation.

Chu Wen-Fei's expression darkened immediately.

This stupid woman was asking him to teach the precious eldest daughter of the Li family a lesson?

And she was declaring it?

Declare my foot!

Was she tired of living?!

Chu Wen-Fei walked over and snapped at her in a low voice, "Shut up! Isn't it embarrassing enough as it is?"

But while Chu Wen-Fei was being angry, Old Master Qiu had seen this from afar and was filled with puzzlement.

"Wen-Fei, what's going on? Miss Li hasn't even given a toast and she's already left? That's very rude of her, isn't it?" Old Master Qiu's angry voice came from afar. He hadn't heard their conversation earlier. But it was clear that Li Xue-Qi's actions had made him very unhappy.

He was the head of the Qiu family after all, and was the founder of Qiushui Logistics. This person had come here but left without giving him a toast, so that was blatant disregard for him.

Of course the old man was angry.

But Qiu Guang's eyelid twitched as he replied with a downcast expression on his face, "You can forget about that toast. She wasn't here to see you, she was going to see Qiu Lei and family. She's here to attend Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony."

What?

Qiu Lei and family?!
