The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1085

Li Er nodded, then said coldly, "I will pass these words on to him." After a short pause, Li Er's tone of voice softened a little as he said, "Chen Ao, take care. This will be the last phone call between us. Don't contact me again after this.”

After that, Li Er remained silent for a long time before letting out a sigh.

Then he hung up.

It was as if their friendship over the past few decades had ended with this call.

Chen Ao was no longer the King of Jiangdong nor the leader of Jianghai. He was now guilty of betraying Jiangdong.

He had betrayed Mr Chu.

Every important person within Jiangdong was avoiding Chen Ao like the plague.

Everyone was worried that he might implicate them and they would become a target of Mr Chu's.

Even Li Er didn't want to be too closely linked to Chen Ao either.

Li Er was now very close to Mr Chu and had to be careful of who he mixed with. If Li Er became too close to Chen Ao, Li Er was worried that Mr Chu might become suspicious of his loyalty.

Keeping his distance from Chen Ao was the best thing to do in this situation.

Chen Ao didn't blame Li Er for doing this.

It was only natural for him to behave this way.

Chen Ao could only blame himself for allowing his weakness to be exploited.

After hanging up, Chen Ao got up and started walking outside in his courtyard.

This estate used to be filled with guests almost all the time, but now it was lonely and empty.

Humans were like that. There were plenty who were willing to offer you the world when you were doing well, but few who were willing to offer help when you were down.

He was already very grateful that Li Er had even picked up his call in a time like this.

Back at the bungalow in the west.

Ye Fan had brought his mother over as well.

Xu Lei found an excuse to return to Yanjing since everything in Jiangdong had come to a close.

But Ye Xi-Mei knew that Xu Lei was just trying to make herself scarce because she was afraid that Qiu Mu-Cheng would misunderstand her and Ye Fan.

This kindhearted girl was always looking out for the feelings of others.

"Lei, take care. Once you reach home, give us a call." Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Xi-Mei waved goodbye to Xu Lei outside the bungalow.

After they saw Xu Lei off, Qiu Mu-Cheng cooked an entire table of food for Ye Fan.

After so many months, the three of them were finally able to sit down together for a meal.

"You weren't around for Mum's birthday the last time, so this is to make up for that night's dinner. But if you dare to scare us like that again, we won't let you off!" snapped Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily at Ye Fan after she had removed her apron and taken a seat at the dining table.

Nobody knew how hard it had been on Qiu Mu-Cheng over the past few months.

She felt that none of the pain and suffering she had experienced in her life was as bad as what she went through in just those few months.
