A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 850 Teasing

An indescribable feeling rose in Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart when she heard of their downfall.

Should she be happy?

After all, she had worked in Qiushui Logistics for years. The Qiu family's blood flowed through her veins. Her entire family relied on the company for a livelihood.

The Qiu family had completely fallen now that Qiushui Logistics had gone bankrupt.

Qiu Mu-Cheng genuinely couldn't bring herself to be happy.

Then should she pity them?

Her grandfather was biased, her oldest uncle was power-hungry, and Qiu Mu-Ying and the rest of the family kept bullying her. Her family's heartlessness leaped to her mind. They deserved this ending.

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt that they weren't worthy of her pity.

Qiu Mu-Cheng decided to ignore them after battling the conflict inside her.

She neither attempted to save Qiushui Logistics nor hit them when they were down.

She chose to leave it to nature and leave them be.

Since she had already gotten driven out of their family, why should she care about them?

Of course, Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't heartless by nature.

During this time, she tried to send Old Master Qiu money.

After all, Old Master Qiu doted on her when she was young.

In the end, he got tempted by Qiu Mu-Ying and committed a lot of wrongs. However, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't forget the things he did for her in the past.

Sadly, Old Master Qiu was too proud. Even after falling into dire straits, he refused to accept Qiu Mu-Cheng's charity.

Since then, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't have any contact with them.

In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng thought that Qiu Mu-Qi would have learned his lesson and went on to find some other way for the family to survive.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng never dreamed of crossing paths with them again this way.

"Grandpa. You..."

Qiu Mu-Cheng greeted Old Master Qiu as her grandfather amid her shock.

However, Old Master Qiu acted like he heard nothing.

He acted like Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't there and ignored her completely before he entered Shanshui Hall with Qiu Mu-Qi and the others.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's face instantly paled even more.

She didn't think that the grandfather she used to love so dearly would end up being strangers.

Qiu Mu-Cheng entered the hall with the rest of the people feeling particularly emotional.

"Miss Mo, here, have a seat. And this is?"

Wu Wei-Tao smiled warmly as he hurriedly invited Mo Shan-Shan to take a seat.

Since Mo Shan-Shan was the niece of the head of the Mo family, Mo Wu-Ji, and had high status in the family, Wu Wei-Tao treated her with respect.

Wu Wei-Tao looked at Qiu Mu-Qi and the others curiously as he spoke.

"This is my fiance, Qiu Mu-Qi. This is his father and grandfather." Mo Shan-Shan made introductions to Wu Wei-Tao.

Wu Wei-Tao was surprised.

He looked at Qiu Mu-Qi slightly differently right away.

After all, anyone who could win the favor of a woman like her was worthy of respect.

"Haha! Hello, Mr Qiu. Both of you are a perfect couple and a match made in heaven. Since you managed to win Miss Mo's heart, you must be quite a talent," said Wu Wei-Tao enthusiastically.

Qiu Mu-Qi smiled politely. "Mayor Wu, you're too kind. Shanshan and I have been classmates for years. We met while studying abroad. We only recently got engaged."

After a brief chat, Wu Wei-Tao turned to ask Mo Shan-Shan, "Oh yes. Miss Mo, when will Mr Mo arrive?"

Wu Wei-Tao didn't organize such an impressive banquet just to welcome Mo Shan-Shan. More importantly, he caught wind that the head of the Mo family, Mo Wu-Ji, would arrive in Yunzhou tonight. Wu Wei-Tao naturally had to play a good host since the head of an influential family was visiting Yunzhou.

After all, the county mayor of Jiangdong, He Lan-Shan, called him personally this morning to tell him to entertain Mr Mo well.

Even He Lan-Shan called to tip him off, so Mo Wu-Ji must be very important.

Wu Wei-Tao was only so courteous to a youngster like Mo Shan-Shan solely because of Mo Wu-Ji.

"Uncle Wu-Ji is on his way from Yunzhou and will get here soon," replied Mo Shan-Shan.

"I see. That's great." Wu Wei-Tao nodded.

"Oh yes. Mayor Wu, did you manage to convince Miss Qiu to come?" asked Mo Shan-Shan suddenly.

"Yes, Miss Qiu is here. She even went out to welcome you earlier," said Wu Wei-Tao with a smile.

"Really? Then get her to come over. I'd like to see what kind of woman she is," said Mo Shan-Shan intriguingly.

Very quickly, Wu Wei-Tao got Qiu Mu-Cheng to come over.

"Miss Mo, Did you ask to see me?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng quizzically when she came over and saw the woman whom she didn't know.

"Oh! Are you Qiu Mu-Cheng? The one with a live-in husband? The one who got driven out of the Qiu family? Did you destroy my fiance's Qiushui Logistics? I must say, regardless of your abilities, you are a stunning woman. No wonder you can enjoy such success in Yunzhou at such a young age."

Mo Shan-Shan's words left Qiu Mu-Cheng particularly angry. She asked coldly, "Miss Mo, I don't know what you are driving at."

"Can't you tell what I'm trying to say? Do you want me to say it out loud publicly?" Mo Shan-Shan laughed.

Mo Shan-Shan sat on the main seat and looked down at Qiu Mu-Cheng with a teasing look in her eyes.

"You..." Wu Wei-Tao stopped Qiu Mu-Cheng before she acted up angrily.

"Calm down, Miss Qiu. Don't be rude. You have to play your part. Do you know who she is?"

Wu Wei-Tao glanced at Qiu Mu-Cheng and reminded her not to lose her cool.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had no choice but to suppress her fury given her lofty status, so she angrily went quiet.

Qiu Mu-Qi laughed sinisterly in his heart instantly.

Qiu Mu-Cheng, oh Qiu Mu-Cheng. So what if Ye Fan was Mr Chu and the King of Jiangdong?

Both of them still had to give in in the face of true elites.

It was purely Qiu Mu-Qi's idea for Mo Shan-Shan to demand Qiu Mu-Cheng to drink with her.

Ever since Qiushui Logistics went bankrupt, Qiu Mu-Qi lost a lot of sleep from all the resentment.

He was indignant about losing to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

In the end, he reached out to Mo Shan-Shan and agreed to date her.

Mo Shan-Shan kept courting Qiu Mu-Qi when they were studying abroad.

Sadly, Mo Shan-Shan wasn't Qiu Mu-Qi's type. Hence, he didn't agree to date her back then.

But Qiu Mu-Qi had no choice now.

For the sake of the Qiu family and the indignance in his heart, he agreed to date Mo Shan-Shan in exchange for support.
