A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 663 Offer Apology

Zhang Yi-Zhu's brother scolded her furiously over the phone.

It was an unexpected catastrophe!

It was the first day of the new year, so the Zhang family happily commenced their annual gathering to celebrate New Year's Day.

No one expected this bad news to fall into their lap!

The head of the Xu family, Xu Lei, came together with many powerful forces to completely seal off all paths for the Zhang family overnight.

All the powerful families who were close to the Zhang family started to avoid them like the plague.

The Zhang family's businesses also suffered major losses too.

Their partners cut off funding for over 100 of their projects.

Their share prices went into a free fall, and

billions of dollars evaporated into thin air.

The Zhang family didn't know what hit them at first and only knew that Xu Lei was behind it.

The Zhang family called on Xu Lei when things got hopeless.

Then the Zhang family finally realized they were implicated by the Meng family in Jiangdong.

He was calling precisely to ask his younger sister about this.

But he didn't expect this idiotic little sister of his to be clueless about the trouble she had caused and even kept talking about declaring war on Mr Chu.

"Declare war? What bloody war? And you even want me to help? You fools have already gotten the Zhang family into major trouble. Do you know that all the important families in Yanjing have banded together to punish the Zhang family? Our stocks have hit rock bottom, and billions have evaporated into thin air within 30 minutes!

The bank refuses to loan us money, and all our partners have withdrawn their funds. My old classmate even called to warn me to run. You've completely devastated the Zhang family's 80 year old foundation, you unfilial daughter!"

What?

"How...how can that be?"

Zhang Yi-Zhu's brother's words hit her like bolts of lightning and exploded in her mind nonstop.

She was completely stunned while a tsunami surged in her heart.

She didn't expect that the Meng family's actions could implicate the Zhang family miles away in Yanjing.

But how could it be?

No matter how powerful Ye Fan was, he merely controlled Jiangdong.

How could he have the power to threaten the Zhang family?

How could he be the King of Yanjing?

Zhang Yi-Zhu was overwhelmed by the information and felt as though her brain just short circuited.

But her older brother's fury remained unappeased as he scolded her sternly, "Zhang Yi-Zhu, if the Zhang family gets destroyed by you, how are you going to face our parents after you die? How are you going to face the Zhang family's ancestors? You dumbass! After committing such a huge mistake, you can't make up for it even if you die! Just stay home and behave! Our brother will be there soon. Gather those fools from the Meng family and go with him to apologize to Mr Chu. Or else, all that awaits you is death!"

He slammed the phone down.

Old Madam Meng stood petrified and went into a daze.

After a long time, her body swayed as she staggered before she fell onto the ground.

Mom!"

"Granny!"

"Are you okay?"

"What happened?"

Everyone was shocked to see their matriarch scared out of her wits.

Meng Chun-Hua stepped forward to quickly hold onto his grandmother.

Zhang Yi-Zhu slumped onto the ground as though her soul had left her body.

Zhang Yi-Zhu remained silent with her face as white as a sheet of paper even though her family members kept asking what happened.

"Granny, don't scare me here. What happened? What did Uncle say?" asked Meng Chun-Hua anxiously.

Zhang Yi-Zhu turned to grab Meng Chun-Hua's arm with her hands trembling as she said, "Chun... Chun-Hua, I'm.... I'm afraid you're in big trouble this time."

BOOM!

Zhang Yi-Zhu's words struck like lightning.

Meng Chun-Hua was stunned.

He stared wide-eyed as terror surfaced in his heart too.

In big trouble?

Was it...

Just as the Meng family members were trying to wrap their minds around this, the sound of a car could be heard outside.

An old man who looked around 60 strode briskly and walked right in.

"Uncle Yi-Fu? What brings you here? I was going to visit you in Yanjing, but you're already here in Liaocheng?" said Meng Chun-Hua respectfully when he saw the man.

He stepped forward to greet the man as he beamed.

PAK!

The man slapped Meng Chun-Hua without uttering a word.

"Get lost, you fools!" shouted the stern old man. After slapping Meng Chun-Hua away, he walked straight up to Zhang Yi-Zhu.

"Zheng... Yi-Fu," shouted Zhang Yi-Zhu in shock.

"Do you have the cheek to call me your brother?" scolded the old man. He raised his hand to slap Zhang Yi-Zhu.

In the end, he suppressed himself.

"If you weren't already at this age, I would have beaten you to death today! What the hell are you waiting for? Gather the Meng family together and follow me! We are apologizing to Mr Chu!" roared the old

man.

The Meng family's domineering matriarch was so terrified she didn't dare to utter a word to her third older brother, and there was no sign of her usual sternness.

It was unfathomable to the Meng family why they had to apologize.

Meng Chun-Hua covered his cheek as he looked at his third uncle quizzically and asked, "Mr Chu? Is it Mr Chu from Yunzhou? Uncle Yi-Fu, I don't get it. We didn't do anything wrong. Why do we have to apologize to him? You come from a powerful family from Yanjing. Why would you fear Mr Chu?"

"Shut up!" shouted the old man even more furiously when he heard Meng Chun-Hua's words.

This time, he kicked Meng Chun-Hua right away.

THUD!

Meng Chun-Hua fell prone onto the ground.

"You reckless fool! Why are you still being stubborn now that your lives are at stake? Old Master Meng had a heroic reputation all his life, but why is his grandson so dumb? Of course, I won't force the Meng family. You can decide whether you want to go. If you go, the Zhang family will do its best to save you. Or else, don't blame us for being heartless. We will publicly disown Zhang Yi-Zhu and sever ties with the Meng family completely!"

BOOM!

The man's words were a wake-up call.

The Meng family was instantly stunned.

Everyone stared hard in disbelief at the scene.

Meng Chun-Hua would never have dreamt that the Zhang family, who had given him support all these years, would sever ties with the Meng family to save themselves all because of Ye Fan.

It was unfathomable to Meng Chun-Hua how a little King of Jiangdong could terrify the Zhang family.

Who on earth was this Ye Fan?!
