A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 161 Go Get a Divorce

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes reddened in the face of her parents' loud questioning, but she continued to stick

to her guns.

"Mom, I didn't lie to grandfather. Miss Xu was really only repaying Ye Fan's favor."

"What a pack of nonsense!”

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, back then, the reason why I made you marry that useless man was to punish you. I

wanted you to reflect on your mistake and turn over a new leaf."

"But I did not expect that, after these three years, not only did you not show the slightest bit of

improvement, but you have also learned to lie from that piece of trash. You have learned to fool others!

You have become vain and shameless!"

Master Qiu's words were rather harsh and, when she heard them, Qiu Mu-Cheng was taken aback

right away. Her eyes reddened as she stared in disbelief at her grandfather.

"Grandfather, why did you say that about me?"

"I don't know what I have done to make you describe me with such malicious words?"

"Can you tell me what I have done wrong exactly?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was filled with confusion. She lifted her head to stare at Master Qiu.

When the old man saw this, he grew even angrier. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, you are still refusing the tell the truth, even now?"

"Do you really think I won't find out if you say nothing?"

"Let me ask you. Did you tell that useless husband of yours to seduce Miss Xu? Did you tell him to

become Miss Xu's servant? Did you tell him to sacrifice his dignity and body in order to become Miss

Xu's gigolo? Is that the reason why she is doing you two favors?"

"Did you and your husband use such a dirty method to get us the loan contract and the partnership

deal with Hongqi Group?"

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, Qiu Mu-Cheng. You were such an innocent and kind-hearted girl back then. I did not

think that you would become such a shameless woman."

"In order to achieve your goals, you have resorted to unscrupulous means. You have even sacrificed

your own husband."

"You may be fine with being shameless, but I, Qiu Zheng-Lun, and the rest of the Qiu family still care

about our reputation.”

"I, Qiu Zheng-Lun, have always been an upright man. I gave the names Guang, Ming, Lei and Luo to

my four sons. Together, their names form the word for 'Upright.'"

"I don't wish for great wealth for our family. But I do want us all to be upright people."

''But you, how could you do something that brings shame upon our family? How do you expect me to

forgive you for what you

did?"

Clearly, Master Qiu had blown his top. His angry words rang out sonorously and resounded through the

entire hall.

When he reached the end of his speech, Master Qiu's whole body was trembling with rage. In the next

moment, the old man slapped the table and jumped to his feet. And with eyes that had turned red with

rage, he glared straight at his granddaughter.

What?

Han Li and Qiu Lei were stunned when they heard this. In their eyes, both shock and fascination could

be seen.

"Mu-Cheng, is your grandfather telling the truth?"

"Did you really tell your useless husband to sleep with another woman just so you could get the

contract with Hongqi Group?" "Good heavens! How could you do something so shameless?"

"Mu-Cheng, say something!”

Clearly, both Han Li and Qiu Lei were overwhelmed with shock. Just then, they were angrily peppering

their daughter with questions.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng kept shaking her head and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I didn't. I really didn't."

"I did not force Ye Fan to do anything."

"And I most certainly did not do anything to bring shame on our family. Mom, dad and grandfather.

Please believe me~”

Qiu Mu-Cheng kept on explaining herself and, meanwhile, tears had started to form in her reddened

eyes.

However, at this moment, Qiu Mu-Ying responded to her cousin's explanations with a sneer. She

walked forward and faced Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Mu-Cheng, stop pretending to be pitiful to make us feel sorry for you."

"Everyone here knows what is going on."

"That day, I personally witnessed Ye Fan and Miss Xu behaving intimately with each other at Belle's

Cafe."

"Of course, maybe I am overthinking things."

"In that case, how about you give us a believable explanation?"

"If you did not rely on your useless husband to seduce Miss Xu, then tell us how did you two manage to

get Hongqi Group to agree to a partnership?"

"Tell us!"

Qiu Mu-Ying crossed her arms and gleefully questioned her cousin.

When she heard this, Qiu Mu-Cheng finally understood what had happened.

"It was you! Qiu Mu-Ying, it was you!"

"You confused grandfather with lies, fed him with nonsense and drove a wedge between him and me."

"How could you do this?"

"How could you be so shameless?”

"How could you be so ruthless!"

Now, Qiu Mu-Cheng finally understood why her grandfather's attitude toward her had taken a hundred-

and-eighty-degree change after the Mount Tai trip. And why everyone had been looking at her as if she

was a joke.

The culprit was Qiu Mu-Ying. She had been carrying tales to Master Qiu. She had made up the story

about how Qiu Mu-Cheng had used Ye Fan to seduce Miss Xu for the partnership contract.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng had not imagined that her blood-related cousin would treat her so viciously.

Caught in the throes of rage, Qiu Mu-Cheng lashed out at her cousin with one question after another.

"Grandfather, look at Mu-Cheng. She is in the wrong but, instead of repenting, she is blaming me

instead." Qiu Mu-Ying was continuing to fan the flames of discord.

Master Qiu got so worked up that he slapped the table again. And then he rebuked Qiu Mu-Cheng

angrily.

"Can you stop making a scene here?"

"Quick, get down on your knees!”

"You are still unrepentant even now. Do you really want to force me to kick you out of the family?”

Piak~

At this moment, Han Li walked over to slap Qiu Mu-Cheng in the face.

"You wretched daughter! How dare you do such a thing behind our backs?" "Quick, get down on your

knees and apologize to your grandfather!"

"Do you really want to get kicked out of the family?"

Han Li's voice was shaking as she scolded her daughter.

What she was most worried about was whether her daughter would get kicked out of the family or not.

If Qiu Mu-Cheng lost her job at Qiushui Logistics, who would support their family henceforth?

"Dad, Mu-Cheng is young and ignorant. And she didn't do all this just for herself. She did all that for the

company and our family."

"Her merits should offset her faults. Dad, please forgive her just this once?"

Han Li and Qiu Lei kept on pleading for mercy.

"Grandfather, you must not forgive her~"

"Mu-Cheng's behavior has offended public decency. If you let her remain in the family, will we still be

able to hold our heads high up in Yunzhou if this matter gets exposed to the public in the future?"

"Yes, dad. This Qiu Mu-Cheng has caused trouble numerous times already. How can we keep this jinx

in our family?"

"Kick her out of the family!”

"Tell her to get lost!"

All of a sudden, the Qius in the hall started to condemn Qiu Mu-Cheng. Faced with the multitude of

accusations from everyone, she looked so forlorn, as if she had been abandoned by the world.

After a long moment of silence, Master Qiu finally let out a sigh and waved a hand to shut everyone up.

And then he looked at his granddaughter.

"Mu-Cheng, no matter what you have done, you are still my granddaughter."

"I will give you another chance. Divorce that country bumpkin and cut all ties with him."

If you do this, then even if the scandal gets exposed, it will have nothing to do with our family."

"As for Hongqi Group, we have already signed the contract. So even if Ye Fan wants to cause trouble

for us, it is already too late."

"Besides, Liu Bin, the manager at Hongqi Group, is a friend of Wen-Fei's father. With this connection,

we no longer have any use for Ye Fan. He is just a burden now. You should divorce him as soon as

possible."
