The smile vanished from Master Qiu’s face as soon as Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan appeared. He snorted coldly and refused to look at them.

“Mu-Cheng, come have a seat.” Qiu Lei welcomed his daughter to the feast. His phone rang just then, so he excused himself with an apologetic smile and left the room to answer the call.

“This trash. How come he has so many phone calls? Who knows what kind of trashy friend is calling him.” Qiu Mu-Ying humphed coldly and then she remembered what she was about to say. “That’s right, grandfather. I nearly forgot. I have something to report. Just now, the young master of the Shen family came to my office for a business meeting. But he got beaten up by Ye Fan and his wife when he left the building.”

What?

When they heard this, the dinner guests swiveled their heads upwards.

“They assaulted the young master of the Shen family?”

“Are they crazy?”

“He’s the only son of the Shen family, and the heir to the Shen Corporation!”

“His father, Shen Jiu-Yi used to be the number one tycoon in Yunzhou. He is very powerful and is on good terms with Master Li Er.”

“That’s Master Li Er, the top boss of Yunzhou!”

“He’s a person with a powerful background. And this piece of trash actually hit him?”

“They are trying to destroy our family!”

All at once, the Qiu family members turned pale with shock. And even Master Qiu had an unhealthy pallor on his face.

The Shen Corporation was one of the top enterprises in Yunzhou, and its assets were worth billions. Compared to them, the Qiu family’s logistics company only had assets worth a few dozen millions. The Shen Corporation was more than just a few rungs above the Qiu family and a behemoth that the Qius should never pick a fight with.

Meanwhile, Qiu Lei’s face had gone as white as a ghost.

“Grandfather, we were only defending ourselves. That rich boy from the Shen family harassed me first.” Qiu Mu-Cheng explained.

“Cousin, you should not confound right and wrong. Young Master Shen was just joking with you. But you are a stuck-up and small-minded person so you couldn’t take a joke. Not only did you gang up with your useless husband to beat him up but, now, you are also falsely accusing him of harassment.”

Qiu Mu-Ying smiled smugly and then, putting on a mask of piteousness, she turned to speak to Master Qiu. “Grandfather, you have to help me. I spent a lot of effort to secure the order from the Shen Corporation. Today, Young Master Shen was going to sign the contract with me. But after their interference, my months of effort have gone to waste.” And of course, Qiu Mu-Ying had to add fuel to fire.

When Wang Qiao-Yu heard that her daughter’s business has been affected, she flew into a rage. “Is your family bent on destroying the Qiu family?”

“Back then, we should have expelled them from the Qiu family. All these years, they have been living off us. Yet, they do not know how to be grateful and keep causing trouble. Now, even the order that my Ying-Ying secured for us is gone.”

“Beautiful women are trouble indeed!” Wang Qiao-Yu cursed angrily.

“That’s right. I’ve already said we shouldn’t keep this woman around. She’s trouble!”

“She nearly destroyed our family back then. And now she’s causing trouble again?” The other relatives also chipped in to criticize Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Master Qiu turned to look at her with a look of anger on his face. “Qiu Mu-Cheng, are you sorry for what you have done?”

“Grandfather, I don’t know what wrong I have done. Are you just going to listen to their side of the story...”

“Shut up! You are still unrepentant? You said you don’t know what wrong you have committed. Let me ask you. Did you and your husband beat up Young Master Shen?”

“I ask you again. Ying’s order. Is it gone now because of what you have done?”

“Finally, is our Qiu family in danger because of what you have done?” Master Qiu sprang to his feet, his eyes wide with anger. He had fallen into the throes of rage after asking the three questions in succession, and he was not going to give Qiu Mu-Cheng the chance to speak for herself.

“Dad, is there a need to ask? Didn’t she admit to assaulting Young Master Sheng just now? Just because of a joke, she flew into a rage and ganged up with her husband to give Young Master Shen a beating.”

“This girl. She has been spoilt by the family. Today, we should make her go down on her knees and apologize to us.” The fourth eldest Qiu brother, Qiu Luo, looked on with a smile on his face.

“That’s right. Kneel and apologize to Ying-Ying!”
