The Man In Rage novel Chapter 237

As Qiu Mu-Ying led her family towards Shanshui Hall, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng had arrived at the entrance to the MidAutumn Festival Auction.

"Where's that Qianqian? The auction is about to start."

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan were standing at the entrance to wait for Su Qian because Su Qian said she wanted to go in with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

They had waited for half an hour already and Qiu Mu-Cheng felt bad making Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie wait with them. After about ten minutes, Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie went in first, and only Ye Fan stood outside with her.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was losing patience soon. She called Su Qian several times but she didn't pick up her phone at all and Qiu Mu-Cheng was so angry that she was prepared to just walk in herself.

"Chengcheng, I'm here, wait for meee...Oh goodness, I'm so tired. I'm glad I made it in time..." A pretty young lady came scurrying over.

Su Qian had come running and panting, and her beautiful face was covered with sweat.

"Qianqian, where did you go? Why did you come so late?” Qiu Mu-Cheng asked in annoyance.

Su Qian was still panting, so she only managed to reply after taking a while to catch her breath, "Mu-Cheng, do you remember that rich man's wife we ran into when we went shopping the other day?"

"You know, Han Wenxue, the one who wanted to sell you the tickets for outside the hall for $1 million?"

"Oh yeah, I remember her. What about her?" Of course Qiu Mu-Cheng hadn't forgotten what happened that day. If someone hadn't suddenly gifted her with tickets to sit on the inside of the auction hall, Qiu Mu-Cheng would have thoroughly embarrassed herself that night. So she had quite a deep impression of that rich man's wife.

"Mu-Cheng, remember I told you that Han Wenxue's husband was a CEO of a big company? They've collapsed! Just two days ago, her husband was arrested for commercial crimes and went straight to jail. The company went bankrupt immediately and all their assets have been frozen. The bungalow they lived in has been auctioned off to repay their debts. That Han Wenxue has become like a dog with no owner and she even called me earlier to ask if she could borrow money to return home," said Su Qian as she sighed deeply.

"Things can really change all of a sudden... she was still a rich man's wife and enjoying her wealth and luxury just a few days ago. She was even showing off how powerful she was in front of us. But now she doesn't even have enough money to go home. And her husband's company was so huge, but it just went bankrupt like that."

"Seriously, humans are really too weak and small in front of government offices and the law. Mu-Cheng, we must never, ever go against the law. Sigh..."

"But seriously though. Even though Han Wenxue looked so irritating when she was all smug and gleeful, I have to say that I really felt bad for her when I saw how pitiful she looked earlier. She had spent so much effort in climbing her way up and finally went from mistress to a wife. But she had fallen back to square one before she had been able to enjoy this life for long. Perhaps that's the way life is. If it's yours, it'll be yours sooner or later. If it's not yours, then you'd never be able to keep it even if you manage to get hold of it,” sighed Su Qian quietly. Her words were so strangely emotional.

Perhaps it was sympathy, or perhaps Su Qian was just overwhelmed by her emotions.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was a little surprised and her face paled considerably upon hearing this.

It was too sudden after all.

It was just a few days ago when Han Wenxue was all high and mighty as she looked down on Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng and everyone else.

Nobody would have thought that the next thing she heard about Han Wenxue would be about how pitiful she was now.

Even though Qiu Mu-Cheng had only met Han Wenxue once, this sudden change in situation made her still feel that humans were really insignificant and life was really unpredictable.

"Nobody lives a smooth life all the time and flowers aren't in bloom every day. Both the rich and poor have to go through life and eventually die anyway, so it's just part of life." Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't like Han Wenxue, but she didn't hate her.

After hearing about how Han Wenxue was in such dire straits, Qiu Mu-Cheng also felt very overwhelmed by her emotions.
