A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 164 I Don't Owe Anyone Anything

"Mu-Cheng, have you gone mad?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"How can you walk away with this piece of trash?”

"How are you going to survive after you leave the Qiu family?"

"How are you going to be able to support us?"

"Do you expect us to starve together with you?"

"Damn it! You have really gone insane!"

Within the family hall, Master Qiu was not the only person angered by Qiu Mu-Cheng's decision to

leave with Ye Fan. Both Han Li and Qiu Lei were also lashing out madly at their daughter.

They had not imagined that their daughter would rather get kicked out of the family and lose her job at

the company than divorce Ye Fan.

What was even more incredulous to the couple was the fact that not only had their daughter left

willingly with Ye Fan, she had also stupidly declared that she would rather till the field in the countryside

with him than remain with the Qiu family.

"You may be willing to go till the field in the countryside, but we don't want to!"

"We will not be able to withstand that sort of torture!"

"Can you really bear to make us suffer?"

"How can you be so unfilial?"

"You do not have my permission to leave with this piece of trash! You come back right now!”

Han Li and Qiu Lei were both rebuking their daughter angrily.

At this moment, the Qius who had assembled in the hall were looking on as Qiu Mu-Cheng and her

parents made fools of themselves.

"This Qiu Mu-Cheng is completely beyond hope."

"Because of a piece of trash like him, she is even willing to go be a farmer in the countryside?"

"Oh well. Without protection from our family, besides farm work in the countryside, what else can they

do?"

"I think they can only go beg in the streets."

Wang Qiao-Yu was delighting in Qiu Mu-Cheng's and her family's misfortune. As she watched the skit

unfold before her, she felt thoroughly satisfied.

Some time ago, Wang Qiao-Yu and her family had made fools of themselves when they invited their

relatives to dinner at the Yunjing Hotel. Wang Qiao-Yu could still remember the mocking that had come

from Han Li and Qiu Lei.

But now, the wheel of fortune had turned against them.

From today onward, Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family would become the laughing stocks of the Qiu family.

But that was not an accurate statement. From today onward, they would no longer be members of the

Qiu family.

"Qiu Mu-Cheng does not know what is good for her. She is asking for trouble for herself, so she has no

right to blame us."

"I think this is the first time I have seen that idiot go against the family head for the sake of her country

bumpkin?"

"And she even said she would rather go till the field than stay with us. What an idiot."

"The old man values his reputation the most. He is definitely mad at her right now!"

Qiu Mu-Ying's and Chu Wen-Fei's faces had swollen up like a couple of pufferfish but, inwardly, they

were feeling rather satisfied.

A long-time mortal malady had finally been removed.

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, Qiu Mu-Cheng, this is what you get for going against me."

"After you are gone, I, Qiu Mu-Ying, will become the general manager of Qiushui Logistics. The reins of

power will fall into my hands and the money will come rolling in. Maybe, one day, Qiushui Logistics will

fall into my lap and become the personal property of my husband and myself.”

"As for you, you will become a lowly countryside woman and spend your days engaging in

backbending labor. You have already lost the right to become my opponent. For the rest of your life,

you can only look up to me.”

Besides Qiu Mu-Ying's family, Jiang Hong, Qiu Guang and the other Qius were all sneering disdainfully

as they watched Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family make fools of themselves.

It was clear what they were all thinking. Now that they were no longer members of the Qiu family, Qiu

Mu-Cheng and her parents would become homeless and penniless. They would most definitely suffer a

most tragic ending.

"Well, they deserve it!"

"How dare they go against the family head?"

"This Qiu Mu-Cheng has become strong enough to leave the nest."

"A traitorous person like her deserves to be kicked out of the family."

"Whether she lives or dies, it is no longer our concern."

Qiu Guang's face was expressionless as he snorted heavily.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng's second aunt, Jiang Hong, was sneering without restraint.

"They are completely useless, but they behave like arrogant bastards in their daily lives."

"Let us see how they are going to survive from now on, without any protection from our family." "I only

hope that, when they go around begging in the streets, they will refrain from telling others that their

family name is Qiu."

All the Qius in the house looked on coldly with mocking smiles on their faces.

And when they saw Han Li and Qiu Lei pathetically scolding their daughter for acting like an idiot, they

could not help but feel an ambiguous feeling of pleasantness.

That was just the sort of thing they liked to watch.

It felt like they were watching a skit.

After all, Qiu Lei and his family had always been the most useless among the Qius, and their relatives

had always looked down on them.

Qiu Lei was mediocre and useless, and his only daughter had married a piece of trash.

Who would give a damn about a family like theirs?

So naturally, no one was going to speak up for Qiu Mu-Cheng's family, now that they had come to such

a tragic end. Everyone was looking on coldly and some of them even had gleeful looks in their eyes.

"Dad, you can't be so heartless-''

"Mu-Cheng is your granddaughter. You can't kick her out."

"We will lose our only source of income. Dad, do you really want to starve us to death?"

At this moment, Qiu Lei went down on his knees and started begging his father for mercy.

But Master Qiu kicked his son to the side and said: "So what if you starve to death?"

"This is happening because you raised such a ‘good' daughter. She was the one who chose to leave

the family."

"I gave her a chance, but what did she do?" "Not only did she talk back to me, but she also talked back

to the whole family."

"She has backbone, doesn't she? And she is a capable person, right? Didn't she say she wanted to

leave the family? Then it is only right that she leaves!"

"I want to see what she can make of herself without the support of our family!"

Master Qiu's was in the throes of rage and his whole body was shivering with anger.

Clearly, Qiu Mu-Cheng's words had completely enraged the old man.

"Our family has fed you, clothed you and raised all of you useless bastards for several decades."

"But in the end, your daughter bit the hand that fed her!"

"I have never imagined that our family would end up raising a bunch of ingrates like you people!"

Master Qiu's lashed out angrily and his voice resounded through the hall like

muffled thunder.

But although Master Qiu talked about what their family had done for Qiu Mu-Cheng, he did not say a

word about her contributions to the family.

Yes, all these years, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been getting her salaries from the family. But she had gotten

them through her own hard work. She had deserved every single cent she received.

Also, without her, the Qius would never have gotten their business license approved so speedily.

Without Qiu Mu-Cheng, they would never have gotten the chance to work with Hongqi Group and

getting the loan approved would have been an impossible feat.

However, Qiu Mu-Cheng did not mention any of her contributions. She did not want to.

There was no meaning in doing so. After all, she had already decided not to remain in the Qiu family.

So if they wanted to slander her, they were free to do so.

They were free to call her an ingrate or accuse her of being shameless. She had no control over what

others thought of her. The only thing she could do was to make sure that she had a clear conscience!

Before leaving, Qiu Mu-Cheng turned around and looked at Master Qiu with her reddened eyes. And

then her gaze swept around the room to encompass the other Qius. All of a sudden, her voice

resounded through the hall. Although she was choking as she spoke, her tone was firm.

"Grandfather. Uncles and aunties. No matter what you think of me, my conscience remains clear! I

have done no wrong against the family!"

"I don't owe the family anything. And I most definitely do not owe any of you anything~"

Her words were clear and they resonated with her listeners as they reverberated in their ears.

Qiu Mu-Cheng then turned around right away and left with Ye Fan.

Behind her, the Qius started lashing out at her.

"You have a clear conscience, do you? You think you don't owe us anything, do you-"

"Since it is like that, you get the hell out of here right now!"

"Don't ever come back~"

"Even if you and your family are starving in the streets, you will not receive even one mouthful of rice

from us!”

"Get lost-"

Within the hall, the ear-piercing sound of their scolding voices reverberated endlessly.

However, at this moment, the gate to the Qiu's family house was pushed open.

Whoosh-

All of a sudden, several luxury cars stopped in front of the house.

Immediately afterward, a group of well-suited and tie-wearing business elites entered the gate in an

orderly fashion.

Together, they looked like a torrent of black floodwater as they marched into the courtyard. As the Qius

looked on in shock, the new arrivals stepped forward.
