Lu Ming-Feng smiled coldly at Qiu Mu-Cheng. His low voice sounded rather threatening.
"Move aside!” barked Qiu Mu-Cheng stubbornly and ignored Lu Ming-Feng's threats.
Lu Ming-Feng shook his head. "I just said, this is not a place where you can just come and go as you please."
A few men appeared from behind Lu Ming-Feng and blocked Qiu Mu-Cheng's path.
"What are you trying to do?" Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately paled.
"Miss Qiu, no need to be so worried. I don't have any ill intentions. It's just that my buddy, Shao-Hua, has waited an entire night for you and even bought your parents such an expensive house. He's waited with such anticipation for you to finally come, and you want to leave after barely saying anything? Do you think that's appropriate behavior on your part? Don't you think you're wasting my buddy's efforts?" said Lu Ming-Feng as he walked back to the sofa and crossed his legs while he smiled faintly and sipped his coffee.
"So Miss Qiu, since you're here, just settle down and accompany my buddy tonight. If you still decide to leave tomorrow, we won't block your way. But if you decide to be ungrateful even though we've been so kind to you, then I'm warning you, we're not to be trifled with." Lu Ming-Feng's low voice sounded strangely chilling.
The entire cafe suddenly felt a lot colder than before.
Xur Shao-Hua didn't say anything and just looked on coldly. He obviously supported everything that Lu Ming-Feng just said.
"Young Master Lu, Young Master Xur, don't be angry. Mu-Cheng is just joking, so don't take it to heart. Young Master Xur is both handsome and talented, so it's my daughter's great blessing to be able to chat with you," Han Li and Qiu Lei quickly cut in and laughed ingratiatingly when they could sense that things were going downhill.
After calming Xur Shao-Hua and Lu Ming-Feng down, the couple started to persuade Qiu Mu-Cheng again.
"Mu-Cheng, take it as your mother is begging you! Stop being so rebellious! We can't afford to offend the Lu and Xur families. You've seen it for yourself - if you make them angry, then you won't be able to leave this place. Listen to me, alright? Just try talking to Young Master Xur first? For all you know, you might fall for him after tonight?" Han Li put in her best efforts to persuade her daughter.
"That's right, Mu-Cheng. You were once married, so it will be hard for you to find a good man to marry in the future. The fact that Young Master Xur doesn't mind your past is already a wonderful blessing. But instead of feeling grateful, you are actually unhappy with him? I really don't understand you at all. Why do you prefer a useless bum like Ye Fan to Young Master Xur? Young Master Xur is a thousand times better than that Ye Fan. If you end up marrying Young Master Xur, you'd become a tycoon's wife and you'll live in luxury for the rest of your life!" Qiu Lei gave his best shot at talking Qiu Mu-Cheng round as well.
"Enough! I've already told you that I will only be Ye Fan's wife, and everyone else can forget it!" shouted Qiu Mu-Cheng. She pushed her parents aside and tried to walk out again.
"Since Miss Qiu isn't grateful for our kindness, then don't blame us for getting nasty. You're a woman that my buddy fancies, so you have to stay here with him whether you like it or not!"
Lu Ming-Feng's gaze immediately turned cold when he saw that she was still trying to walk away.
He scoffed and waved his hands. The burly men behind him quickly surrounded Qiu Mu-Cheng.
They were clearly going to drag Qiu Mu-Cheng over to Xur Shao-Hua by force.
"You wouldn't dare! My husband is in Jiangdong right now! If you dare to touch me, Ye Fan won't let any of you off!" shouted Qiu Mu-Cheng fiercely even though she was really terrified inside.
She had no choice but to use Ye Fan's name to make them back off.
But Lu Ming-Feng burst out laughing instead.
He laughed so brightly, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Ye Fan? He's the one you're relying on, isn't he? If you mentioned his name before tonight, I might still be a little more cautious. But I'm afraid I have to break the bad news to you. Ye Fan is already dead!"
"Just earlier tonight, Shao-Hua and I sent a team of special troops soldiers out and they've already blasted Mount Yunding Villa to the ground. Ye Fan has probably burnt to cinders in that huge fire! Trying to use a dead man to threaten me? I'm afraid that's a bad move," laughed Lu Ming-Feng maniacally.
His words were filled with smugness and arrogance.
He sounded like the victor in a war, and he was now looking at the fallen general of the enemy.
