A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 529 Can't Bear the Consequences

"Why didn't you just say so earlier? Why did you have to make me force it out of you?!" Ye Fan roared before leaving again.

He left behind a mess on the floor and two wet old folks.

The cold water trickled down their faces and dripped onto the floor.

Han Li and Qiu Lei were still in shock even after a long time.

They found it hard to accept that the useless bum who was usually very compliant had actually shouted at them.

And he had even kicked the basin they used to wash their feet.

The iciness that emanated from Ye Fan earlier made him seem like a ferocious tiger ready to eat them up.

The old couple could still feel chills running down their spine.

Is this...is this still Ye Fan?1

But it wasn't Ye Fan's fault that he became so jumpy.

After all, Qiu Mu-Cheng agreed to come and pick him up from the airport, but she didn't come and he couldn't get through to her phone.

He started worrying about whether something had happened Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Ye Fan asked Han Li and Qiu Lei a simple question several times but they refused to answer him properly.

This was about his wife's safety, so it was only natural for Ye Fan to become anxious!

If it was someone else, Ye Fan would have kicked him off a building by now.

But he only kicked a wash basin, so he already being kind.

"A phone call made Mu-Cheng leave in a hurry, so it must be something very urgent. But it's been a few hours already, why didn't she pick up the phone? I hope nothing bad has happened." Ye Fan had a bad feeling in his heart.

Eventually, he was so worried that he called Han. "Han, check where Mu-Cheng has gone to. I need to know in ten minutes!"

At Haiyuan Restaurant.

The table in a private room was filled with delicious dishes, but sadly, nobody was eating them.

The air in the room was so heavy, it was difficult to breathe.

It felt like a battle could break out at any time!

"Mu-Cheng, aren't you going to reconsider? It's Mr Wang's first time in Yunzhou, so why don't you let him have that piece of land on my account? You can take it as making a friend."

The person who was speaking was a fairly good looking man.

He wasn't too old and was pretty close to Qiu Mu-Cheng's age.

His looks were above average too.

He was now in a smart looking suit and smiling while talking to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

That's right. This was Qiu Mu-Qi, Old Master Qiu's eldest grandson.

Sitting next to him was Wang Sheng-Tian, the director in charge of Shuntian Industries' Yunzhou office, and he was also Qiu Mu-Qi's classmate and good friend while they were studying abroad.

"Qiu Mu-Qi, how could you say something like that? What do you take Mu-Cheng as? An idiot? Your cousin spent $300 million to buy that land and you're telling her to sell it for $100 million? What about the remaining $200 million? You're paying for it? Or you're making her suffer the loss?" questioned Su Qian angrily before Qiu Mu-Cheng could say anything. She couldn't hold it in anymore.

After Mufan Real Estate opened for business and the mayor of Yunzhou came by the opening ceremony personally, their business had been doing tremendously well for the past month.

They had clinched many deals and most of their partners had come knocking on their door to ask to work together. Even if the profit margin was small, they were willing to work with Mufan Real Estate. In just half a month, Mufan Real Estate's assets added up to several times more than Qiushui Logistics.

But of course, a lot of the money used were low interest loans from the bank.

Mufan Real Estate was a star company in the market and its future looked bright, so there were many banks fighting to loan them money.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't have to worry about cashflow at all.

When things got busier and busier in the office, Qiu Mu-Cheng got Su Qian in as her assistant.

They were old friends and got along in terms of temperament, so they worked well together too.

For the discussion today, Qiu Mu-Cheng brought Su Qian along as well.

"Haha! At the end of the day, it's about the price. Mu-Cheng, Mr Wang has already said that we can negotiate the price. If you're not willing to let go at $100 million, we can add on another $10 or $20 million." "Besides, Shuntian Group is a huge corporation from Zhonghai. We've got to set our sights further. You might seem to make a loss by letting Mr Wang have this piece of land at $300 million, but you'd have made a friend at the same time."

"Listen to me and let Mr Wang have it at $100 million. Treat it as doing me a favor. I know you've fallen out with the Qiu family not too long ago, but if you do me this favor, then I'll settle the Qiu family for you. I'l get Grandpa to forgive you," said Qiu Mu-Qi as he filled Qiu Mu-Cheng's cup with tea.

But Su Qian nearly threw a fit when she heard this.

"Qiu Mu-Qi! All the members of the Qiu family just love bullying Mu-Cheng, don't they?! Are you seriously treating Mu-Cheng as an idiot? Do you a favor?! Even if you sell your family away, you won't get $200 million. How dare you tell Mu-Cheng to do you a favor worth $200 million?" snapped Su Qian angrily.

"Su Qian, I was nice to you because you're friends with Mu-Cheng. Don't make me turn nasty now. I'm talking to my cousin, so it's no place for you to talk," said Qiu Mu-Qi coldly as his eyes turned icy. "Enough!" Qiu Mu-Cheng finally broke her silence.

"Mufan Real Estate spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land and I'm not letting anyone have it. Even if you offered $1 billion, I won't let go of it. That's my stand. So I don't want to talk about this piece of land anymore, you can give it up," said Qiu Mu-Cheng firmly. Her voice was authoritative and did not allow for any

negotiation.

"Ha! Mu-Cheng, well said! Some people just love bullying their relatives. They'll take your profits to butter up to others. They really think everyone is an idiot," laughed Su Qian happily when she saw how tough Qiu Mu-Cheng was.

Qiu Mu-Qi's expression instantly turned cold. "Mu-Cheng, so you're saying this is no longer negotiable? You won't even do your cousin a favor?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng replied coldly, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

"You..."

Qiu Mu-Qi's expression darkened from anger and finally he decided to stop being nice to Qiu Mu-Cheng. "Mu-Cheng, you'd better think it through carefully. If you give it up now, you can still get $100 million. If you refuse, then we have plenty of ways to make sure that piece of land rots in yours hands. We'll make sure Mufan Real Estate makes losses on it forever!"

"Oh, really? I'll be looking forward to that." Qiu Mu-Cheng merely chortled and seemed unafraid of Qiu Mu-Qi's threat.

"Fine! Mu-Cheng, don't regret this! You've offended both myself and Mr Wang, and you can't bear the consequences of doing this. Just you wait! Sheng-Tian, let's go!" scoffed Qiu Mu-Qi as he got up and left.
