A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 851 Why Play Nice?
Qiu Mu-Cheng could rely on Ye Fan for support, so Qiu Mu-Qi could certainly do the same with the Mo family!
There was nothing to be ashamed of since charisma was considered a kind of talent.
Qiu Mu-Qi sneered coldly in his heart.
But he ignored his cousin, Qiu Mu-Cheng. Instead, he turned to Wu Wei-Tao.
"Mayor Wu, the wine bottle is open, but didn't anyone fill the glass?"
Wu Wei-Tao slapped his thigh. "Haha! My mistake, my mistake. To make up for my carelessness, allow me to pour you your first glass of wine."
But Mo Shan-Shan shook her head.
"Gosh, Mayor Wu, you are too important to pour wine for me. Since Miss Qiu looks kind of free, why don't you leave this task to her instead?" Mo Shan-Shan laughed as she deliberately insulted Qiu Mu- Cheng.
Wu Wei-Tao could tell that there was a
feud between them, so he hurriedly helped Qiu Mu-Cheng out of this situation. "Miss Mo, that's not true. You are my guests. Since you are in Yunzhou, I should offer you a toast and show you hospitality." Wu Wei-Tao filled Mo Shan-Shan's glass as we spoke.
However, Mo Shan-Shan covered her glass.
"Stop fighting. If you insist on pouring wine for me, I won't drink it. I will only drink if Miss Qiu pours it."
Mo Shan-Shan looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng as she spoke, "Miss Qiu, Mayor Wu invited you here to drink with me. I'm sure you will repay his kindness for the invite."
Mo Shan-Shan placed her glass before Qiu Mu-Cheng as she spoke and waited for Qiu Mu-Cheng to pour her wine.
"Miss Qiu, please do me a favor and help me, will you? The Mo family is thinking about investing in a factory in Yunzhou. The project will benefit our citizens a lot. Can you please pour her some wine?"
Wu Wei-Tao had no choice but to put on a bold front and ask Qiu Mu-Cheng even though he was sorry about it.
Qiu Mu-Cheng fell silent.
She remained standing there motionlessly.
Wu Wei-Tao got anxious, so he said to Qiu Mu-Cheng softly again, "Miss Qiu, think carefully. The Mo family are Yanjing elites. Their family members have all kinds of businesses all over the country. Before they came to Yunzhou, the Jiangdong county mayor even called me personally and told me to take care of them. If you mess it up for me, do you know what will happen? Let's not forget that Mr Chu has killed people. I might be able to close one eye, but do you think others will do the same? If the Mo family makes things difficult for you, don't say I didn't warn you."
Wu Wei-Tao told Qiu Mu-Cheng the pros and cons of her actions. After she refused to do it, he went on to intimidate her.
Sure enough, Wu Wei-Tao hit Qiu Mu-Cheng's sore spot.
She might not care about herself, but she certainly cared about Ye Fan's wellbeing.
"Fine! I'll do it!" replied Qiu Mu-Cheng softly as she gritted her teeth.
Then she picked up the wine and filled Mo Shan-Shan's glass as everyone looked on smugly.
"Miss Qiu, while you're at it, why don't you feel my fiance's glass too?"
Mo Shan-Shan laughed proudly as she took Qiu Mu-Qi's glass and told Qiu Mu-Cheng to pour wine.
Qiu Mu-Cheng said nothing and poured the wine like Mo Shan-Shan asked.
However, Mo Shan-Shan's hand slipped, and wine fell on her while Qiu Mu-Cheng was filling the glass.
PIANG!
A crisp clang rang in the air.
The wine glass broke, and red wine scattered everywhere and got spilled on both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Mo Shan-Shan.
"AHHH! My dress!" screamed Mo Shan-Shan shrilly in fury.
Qiu Mu-Qi hurried over and comforted Mo Shan-Shan as he roared at Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Miss Qiu, don't you think you're too much? If you don't want to offer her wine, just say so. No one will force you to do it. But why did you purposely knock the glass over?"
After Qiu Mu-Qi shouted at Qiu Mu-Cheng, he turned to glare at Wu Wei-Tao angrily, "Mayor Wu, is this how you treat your guests? How can you have the cheek to ask Shan-Shan's family to invest if you're going to be so insincere?"
"I..." Wu Wei-Tao instantly looked remorseful. He hurriedly apologized, "Miss Mo, Mr Qiu, I'm sorry. I'm so dreadfully sorry."
After Wu Wei-Tao apologized, he turned to
Qiu Mu-Cheng and shouted angrily, "Miss Qiu, what are you doing? I invited you over to help take care of my guests. How can you cause trouble? What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to apologize to Miss Mo?"
Wu Wei-Tao was furious.
He felt that he had already made things abundantly clear.
The Mo clan couldn't be offended since they were Yanjing elites.
But Wu Wei-Tao was shocked to see how blind Qiu Mu-Cheng was and completely disregarded what he said.
"It wasn't me. She..."
"Enough!" Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to explain things, but Wu Wei-Tao interrupted her sternly.
The truth meant nothing to Wu Wei-Tao.
The important thing was to keep Mo Shan-Shan and the others happy.
"Miss Qiu, say no more. You ruined Miss Mo's dress, so you should apologize," said Wu Wei-Tao angrily with a cold voice.
His stiff voice sounded like an order.
Everyone around them persuaded her.
"Yes, Miss Qiu. You are at fault. If you didn't want to pour her wine, just say so. Why did you purposely turn her glass over and ruin her dress? Why don't you apologize?"
"Exactly. You made a mistake, so it's only right that you apologize."
"Miss Qiu, why don't you apologize? Then everything will work out."
Everyone helped to convince her to apologize.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had the support of Mr Chu.
However, Mr Chu couldn't compare to Yanjing's elite in their eyes, no matter how powerful he was.
Since Qiu Mu-Cheng offended Mo Shan-Shan, everyone tried to get Qiu Mu-Cheng to appease her.
After all, if they offended the Mo family, they might end up being implicated.
Qiu Mu-Cheng fell silent again.
After feeling conflicted for some time, she ended up swallowing her pride and walking up to Mo Shan-Shan to apologize, "Miss Mo, I'm sorry. It was an accident. Please forgive me." "Humph. Do you think a mere apology will do? You little bitch! Kneel down and clean up my dress," said Mo Shan-Shan coldly.
"You..." Qiu Mu-Cheng was instantly furious. She glared at Mo Shan-Shan with anger seething in her heart.
She clenched her fists tightly in anger without saying a word.
Qiu Mu-Qi sinisterly laughed when he witnessed the predicament Qiu Mu-Cheng was in.
Qiu Guang had just gotten released from jail through the Mo family's connections. He felt delighted to see her suffer too.
Old Master Qiu kept his eyes closed and remained silent. He didn't seem to want to talk to Qiu Mu-Cheng.
"Miss Qiu, if you can swallow your pride, things will work out for us. Let me remind you that we can't afford to offend the Mo family. That goes for Mr Chu too!" persuaded Wu Wei-Tao again softly. In the end, Qiu Mu-Cheng gave in.
"Fine. I will clean her dress."
Qiu Mu-Cheng picked up the wet towel and prepared to clean up Mo Shan-Shan's dress. Just as she was about to start, a large, strong hand quietly reached out.
It steadily grabbed Qiu Mu-Cheng's arm.
Then a deep cold voice quietly echoed through the hall.
"Mu-Cheng, they are just stupid clowns.
