A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 47

She was tired.

She really was tired.

For so many years, she had been making sacrifices for the Qiu family and Qiushui Logistics.

She had taken on the work that others did not want.

And she had borne the blame for the mistakes of others.

For so many years, she had been the most hardworking employee in the company and had done her work diligently. All she had ever wanted were her grandfather's praise and her family's approval.

She had wanted to show her family the results of her hard work and make them regret their actions.

But in the end, what did she get?

After years of slaving away at the company, her reward was being treated like an idiot.

And turning into everyone's punching bag was the reward for her accommodating nature.

Despite her efforts, she remained the pariah of the Qiu family.

At the family meeting, Qiu Mu-Ying and her family had been gunning for her. Any idiot could see that. But not one single person among her relatives had stepped up to defend her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng could not understand the reason behind their hostility.

Could it be because her husband was useless?

Could it be because Ye Fan was a live-in son-in-law without a good family background?

Or was it because Ye Fan had neither power nor wealth?

She felt aggrieved, and her eyes turned red.

In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng had a stubborn streak. Whenever Qiu Mu-Ying picked on her, she had fought back. And she had stayed with the company despite Qiu Mu-Ying's efforts to oust her.

But now, she was tired.

She was going to withdraw from the competition with Qiu Mu-Ying.

"You are leaving?"

"Mu-Cheng, why do you have to leave?"

"If you leave now, then you are just going along with their whims and making things easy for them." Ye Fan's expression had already turned cold.

He had considered letting his wife leave the Qiu family and become independent.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was Ye Fan's wife. He was not going to let the Qius oust her with jeers and insults. When she leaves, she will leave in style.

"But what else can I do?"

"I have to leave sooner or later. After three days, they will still chase me out when I fail to secure a loan from the bank.”

"Qiushui Logistics has a very low credit rating. The bank will definitely not lend us any money."

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head. She did not want to leave the family in such a sorry state, but there was no other choice.

The loan negotiation task was a fool's errand.

"Says who?"

With a cold smile on his face, Ye Fan picked up the phone and dialled Master Qiu's number.

"Grandfather, Mu-Cheng asked me to tell you this. She doesn't need three days. She will bring you the loan contract this very night. Those people who have mocked her should wait for her at the family house."

What?

"Ye Fan, are you crazy? What are you talking about?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng turned pale at his words and hurried to snatch the phone away from him. But it was too late. The call had ended.

"How dare you speak such nonsense?"

"Making an empty promise like that will only embarrass me further."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were filled with rage as she yelled angrily at her husband.

But Ye Fan did not explain himself and pulled her downstairs.

"Mu-Cheng, trust me."

"I will take care of everything."

Ye Fan's words were firm and resonated strongly.

Soon, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng left the house and got into a taxi.

Half an hour later.

The husband and wife pair were standing outside the Hongqi Bank.

"Stop, Ye Fan. It's after business hours. Nobody will see us."

"Also, this Hongqi Bank is a high class establishment. They don't handle loans below a hundred million, and they only deal with the world's top five hundred corporations."

"If we walk in, we will only embarrass ourselves."
