A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 18

Since Chu Wen-Fei could not figure it out, he decided to just stop thinking about it.

After all he was the only person with the Chu surname in the Qiu family, so he must be the one Shen Jiu-Yi wanted to invite.

"This Shen Jiu-Yi, he really knows how to please me.”

"Okay, go back and tell your boss that I will be there three days later. And I will be bringing my friends and relatives."

"I hope I can see his sincerity then."

When it came to showing off, Chu Wen-Fei did not go about it with half measures. He put on airs and looked down on the messenger with a commanding aura radiating from his eyes. And his elegant bearing immediately aroused respect among the Qius.

"That temperament~”

"He comes from wealth indeed. A child from a commoner family would never have a commanding presence like Wen-Fei."

And the Qius indulged in another round of praise for Chu Wen-Fei. As for Qiu Mu-Ying and Wang Qiao-Yu, they were smiling so hard that the corners of their mouths nearly touched their ears.

With their fortunes changed for the better after they had been standing on shaky ground, it was only natural for the Qiu family members to rejoice.

Of course, Ye Fan did not know that Chu Wen-Fei had taken credit for his work. But he would not mind even if he did know.

Only Qiu Mu-Cheng was important to him, so how the other Qius saw him did not matter to him.

Last night, the Qiu family had informed Qiu Mu-Cheng that she had been reinstated. This was good news to Qiu Mu-Cheng's family and made them very happy. To celebrate, Qiu Lei opened a bottle of 1982 Scheurebe.

After all, Master Qiu had expelled Qiu Mu-Cheng from the family. Although he had not made any statements, just the fact that he was letting Qiu Mu-Cheng return to the company meant that he was no longer angry with her.

"Mu-Cheng, your grandfather did go overboard."

"But, deep now, he cares about you. So, please don't hate him."

At the dining table, Qiu Lei spoke gravely to his daughter.

Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded vigorously, with slightly red eyes. "Dad, I know."

Qiu Mu-Cheng would never forget her childhood. Back then, Master Qiu had doted on her. He had given her all sorts of delicious food and fun toys but, unfortunately, his attitude toward Qiu Mu-Cheng had taken a turn for the worse three years ago.

Qiu Mu-Cheng did not blame her grandfather. She only blamed herself for being a disappointment.

'Alright, why are we talking about this?

Let's talk about something cheerful. How about we go on a holiday after Mu-Cheng gets her pay check this month?" Han Li decided to change the topic.

"Haha~Good!" Qiu Lei agreed right away.

There was a happy and harmonious atmosphere surrounding the family of three. And Qiu Mu-Cheng was especially cheerful. Now that she had her grandfather's forgiveness, she felt unburdened.

But they did not notice someone looking at them. He was standing quietly by the study's door, with a contented smile on his refined face.

After all, his hard work had been for the sake of protecting the happiness of this beautiful woman.

This night, a lot of people smiled.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's family smiled, and so did Wang Qiao-Yu's family.

The Qiu family members were immersed in joy after their close brush with destruction. In their eyes, the world was so beautiful.
