"Mu-Cheng, Mu-Cheng, don't..." Han Li was still yelling into the phone but there was no response. All she got was the dead tone of the phone.
"This stupid little girl, she will be the death of me! Fine! Get lost then! All of you can go! Daughters really don't side the family anymore after they grow up!"
Han Li's face was all red from anger.
She thought that once Qiu Mu-Cheng heard that her mother had been bullied by Ye Fan, she would definitely scold Ye Fan angrily as well.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't believe her and even spoke up for Ye Fan. And now they wanted to move out?
What was this husband and wife up to?
Were they ganging up to rebel against her?
Han Li was so angry that smoke was coming out from her nostrils.
But she could hardly blame anyone else.
She was getting her just desserts.
Han Li was the one who had been yelling at Ye Fan non-stop for three years and Ye Fan had never complained and just went along with everything she said.
Now that Han Li was suddenly saying that Ye Fan wanted to beat her up, there was no way Qiu Mu-Cheng would believe that.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng really wasn't in the mood to bother about this right now.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was now in a safety helmet at one of the worksites belonging to Mufan Real Estate and trying to understand the situation with Su Qian and some others.
"Miss Qiu, it's really impossible for us to continue working. Someone comes every two to three days to make trouble, and today, a few drunkards beat up my workers. Miss Qiu, your company must have offended someone, right? If it's just one time, it's not so bad. But it's happened so many times now! We really don't dare to continue the work. Today we might have been slightly injured, but someone might lose their life tomorrow!" pleaded the contractor as he clutched his freshly bandaged wounds.
"Mr Sun, the project is only halfway through, so how could you just quit? Who would be able to pick up the pieces? The other party is also hurrying us. If the work here is delayed, then it's hard for our company to be accountable to our client. Why don't we increase your budget?” Qiu Mu-Cheng tried her best to persuade the contractor.
Su Qian had called her in the morning to tell her that someone was making trouble at the worksite.
Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately rushed over.
But damage had already been done.
The contractor was already too frightened to keep working with Mufan Real Estate.
Mufan Real Estate didn't have many workers of their own and needed to work with other contractors to complete their projects.
If this contractor left, then there would be several other projects that would be delayed.
"Miss Qiu, I'm really sorry, I really am. But this is not a matter of money. I think you'd better quickly find someone else.” The contractor shook his head and left with his workers.
He didn't even want the money for the past few days of work.
It was clear that they had really been badly frightened.
"Mu-Cheng, it's hard to blame them. After all, someone keeps making trouble every other day and they even got hurt today. Many of them are the sole breadwinner of their families, so they'd rather earn less than to take such a risky job," said Su Qian.
Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't reply and just frowned. After a long time, she asked Su
Qian, "Qianqian, have you checked on who were the ones who came to make trouble today?"
Su Qian shook her head. "The police said that it was just a bunch of drunkards who happened to enter our worksite and didn't do this on purpose."
"Tsk," Qiu Mu-Cheng scoffed self-deprecatingly. "So it's yet another coincidence?"
