A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 168

At this moment, Ye Fan was driving the Porsche Panamera that the company had given his wife. The exquisite interior showcased the opulence of the vehicle and, throughout the journey, the twin headlights at the front illuminated the deep darkness of the night like a pair of lanterns. As the car moved forward, the orange beams of light tore through the canopy of the sky like twin swords.

Once Qiu Mu-Cheng had accepted the appointment, there was no reason for Zhang Xiao-Song and company to stay. Before their departure, they had warmly exchanged greetings with her and told her that they would see her at the office tomorrow.

After Zhang Xiao-Song's and his cohorts' departure, Qiu Mu-Cheng's family had not loitered around at the Qiu's family house.

Right now, Qiu Mu-Cheng's relationship with the other Qius had completely collapsed. Since the two parties could not find common ground with each other, there was no reason for them to continue to work together.

Therefore, soon afterward, Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family had driven off in the brand new Porsche as the Qius looked on with mixed emotions on their faces.

Before her departure, Qiu Mu-Cheng had not spoken one word to her relatives. She had not seen the need to.

What needed to be said had already been said. In fact, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already said too much to the Qius.

Just like what she had said earlier, she did not owe the Qius anything. With regards to them, her conscience was clear!

The wheels spun and the car sped along the road. Both Han Li and Qiu Lei had never sat in such a luxurious car before so, throughout the journey, they kept exclaiming as they examined the interior excitedly.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng showed no interest in things like that. She was more concerned with uncovering the truth about what had happened earlier tonight.

"Ye Fan, say something!"

"I just asked you a question!"

Once again, Qiu Mu-Cheng turned to look at Ye Fan.

Although, reasonably speaking, there was no way Ye Fan could have known anything about what had happened tonight.

After all, he was just a nobody from the countryside and a live-in son-in-law to boot. Elites like Zhang Xiao-Song most likely had not even heard of his name, let alone know him.

But for some reason, Qiu Mu-Cheng kept getting the nagging feeling that Ye Fan knew something about the event that had taken place tonight.

"Mu-Cheng, have you gone silly?

"He is just a useless piece of trash! Why are you asking him? What the hell would he know?" "If you ask me, I think Miss Xu was the one who helped you in secret."

After all, my daughter is a capable and beautiful girl. A talent who only comes by once in a century. It is only natural for Miss Xu to want to recruit you and have you work for her."

"What a joke! My daughter is such a talented person and, yet, the old man and the others wanted to drive you away?"

"Now that someone else has taken you under her wing and given you important responsibilities, I bet the Qius must be seriously regretting their mistake at this very moment."

Before Ye Fan could speak up, Han Li and Qiu Lei, who were both sitting in the back, burst out in smug laughter.

Tonight, the tide had turned in Qiu Mu-Cheng's favor and she had suddenly been promoted to the position of company president. Undoubtedly, Han Li and her husband had also managed to expel their pent-up frustrations in front of the Qius.

"How dare they accuse us of being ungrateful? I think the old man and the others are the ones who are being ungrateful."

"My daughter has spared no efforts in order to get Hongqi Group to sign the partnership contract with Qiushui. But just when things are getting on the right track, they went and kicked my daughter out."

"The moment they got their hands on the money and once the partnership was underway, they turned their backs on her!"

"Qiu Lei, look at how despicable your family is."

"Fortunately, my Mu-Cheng is a capable girl. The Qius do not want her, but there are plenty of other companies who do!"

"But it is such a pity about the fifty-million contract from Hongqi Group. Those bastards did not do a single thing and, yet, such a great fortune fell right into their laps! It really pisses me off when I think about it!"

The more Han Li thought about this, the angrier she got.

Her daughter had slogged away for days on the project but, in the end, somebody else had reaped the benefits. Anyone in the same circumstances would be angry too.

But Qiu Lei could not bear to listen to his wife badmouth his father, so he mumbled in response: "That's enough. Stop talking, will you?"

"What? Are you going to stand up for that senile old fart? Did I wrong him? Our Mu-Cheng has given so much to your family! But in the end, instead of showing gratitude, they disowned her. Is this something a human would do?"

In the back seat, Han Li and Qiu Lei had started to quarrel. But Qiu Mu-Cheng paid them no attention. Her gaze remained fixed on Ye Fan.

"I asked you a question. Why are you

keeping quiet?"
