A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 327

After that, Lu Ming-Ze sauntered off with Lu Wen-Jing without even turning back.

He didn't even bother saying goodbye, and only Lu Wen-Jing turned to wave at Qiu Mu-Cheng and family.

And so Qiu Mu-Cheng's uncle had appeared for less than five minutes before driving away in a black Audi Q7.

After Lu Ming-Ze and Lu Wen-Jing left, Qiu Mu-Cheng's family headed home a little unhappily.

Han Li was furious at what happened. "Qiu Lei, look at this brother-in-law of yours! He didn't even greet you, never mind me."

"Look at the way he spoke! Was there any familial warmth in those words? He just treated us like servants or something.

Look at all these relatives of yours! They're all horrible! They behave as though they're afraid that we'll drag them down."

"Mu-Cheng was kind enough to invite him to her company's opening ceremony, but he didn't accept the invitation and didn't even want to send anyone else. What is the meaning of this? Isn't he looking down on our Mu-Cheng? He's just trying to insult us! So much for being relatives! I think even someone outside the family wouldn't be so awful! I must have been blind for marrying into this family! Look how much I've had to suffer all my life!”

Han Li had held all of this anger in earlier when Lu Ming-Ze was still around.

But now that he had left, Han Li started to feel the injustice when she thought about what happened earlier.

She had shamelessly tried so hard and hoped that he would be able to find Mu-Cheng a job, but he didn't even bother looking at them and just left with Lu Wending without even eating or drinking any tea.

Qiu Lei was an elder brother to him and Han Li was his sister-in-law after all.

But this was the attitude he showed to them?

He didn't greet them and didn't even care about his own niece! He just continued looking arrogant and aloof.

What was that supposed to mean?

He clearly looked down on Han Li and her family.

He felt that they were unimportant and weren't worthy to be his relatives, so he didn't have any regard for them.

Qiu Lei also shook his head and sighed when he heard Han Li complain. "I didn't want things to turn out like that either. But what can I do about it?”

"You know our family situation. Both of us are jobless and Mu-Cheng is in a lousy company that couldn't even officially open for business for months, plus our son-in-law is completely useless. It's only natural that he doesn't have any regard for us. I've been looked down all my life anyway, so what's a few more times?"

Qiu Lei was clearly used to this sort of treatment for many years now. It didn't matter to him anymore.

Qiu Lei had never gained the favor of his father nor his brothers since he was a child. After getting married, he became even more feeble because his wife nagged and yelled at him all day.

Qiu Lei was already jaded by all of this. Being embarrassed was fine to him now. He had managed to live to this age like this anyway.

"You useless bum! What do you mean by 'what's a few more times'?! Even if you don't care about being embarrassed, Mu-Cheng and I care! Even if you don't think you've been insulted, Mu-Cheng and I feel insulted! I shouldn't have married you and I shouldn't have married into this family at all! Now I can't even hold my head high back at home and Mu-Cheng has to get insulted along with us!"

Han Li continued to yell at Qiu Lei and started a loud argument in the living room.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't want to hear any more of this. Her eyes were slightly red as she picked up the invitation card that Lu Ming-Ze tossed onto the table and returned to her bedroom to continue working.

Was she upset?

Of course she was!

Anybody would feel upset if they were treated so disdainfully by their relatives.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was reminded of the time when Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei got engaged. It was just like this - her youngest cousin, Qiu Mu-Hong was showered with attention and love, and the entire family had rushed over to greet her before she even got out of the car.

But nobody cared about Qiu Mu-Cheng's family at all, and they were even chased out of their seats by Qiu Mu-Ying and her mother, so they didn't even have seats at the party.

She had invited him in hope of getting him to make the opening a bigger affair.

"Mu-Cheng never thought about whether her unknown little company has the right to get me to stand on stage or not. I'm someone famous in the corporate world after all, so if someone found out that I've gone to attend the ceremony of a live-in husband's wife, everyone is going to laugh at me. Jingjing, my presence isn't so cheap, you know."

Lu Ming-Ze spoke very calmly, but the disdain and sneering in his voice was very apparent.

Lu Wen-Jing was going to explode from fury when she heard these words.

"Daddy, you're looking down on Mu-Cheng! Just you wait! Now you can't be bothered with her, but one day my Mu-Cheng is going to become more powerful than you!" retorted Lu Wen-Jing angrily.

Lu Ming-Ze just shook his head and laughed. "Trees with good fruit naturally attract people to come."

"If you want others to look up to you, then you have to prove that you're capable first. She's married a useless bum, so I'm quite sure this Mu-Cheng is also equally incapable."

Lu Ming-Ze continued speaking calmly, while Lu Wen-Jing completely exploded at these words. She was like an angry cat as she glared furiously at her own father. "Daddy, you are not to say such things about Fan!"

"My beloved Fan is really impressive, ok? If he wanted to, he could kill you with one punch!"

Lu Ming-Ze was so angry that his expression immediately darkened.

Was this his own daughter?

She wanted someone else to punch him to death?

Lu Ming-Ze was so upset that he knocked Lu Wen-Jing on the head. "You terrible little girl, how could you say such a thing to your Daddy?"

"Would you be happy if he punched me to death? And if I die, then who is going to feed a spendthrift like you?!"
