Chapter 661 The Meng Family''s Situation
"Mr Chu moved in on the Meng family in the end. He sure was swift about exacting revenge," said Old
Master Xia worriedly.
Everyone in the Xia family was filled with solemn expressions. They clearly didn''t know whose side to
pick.
After all, the Xia family could neither afford to offend the Meng family nor Mr Chu.
"Grandpa, I think we can''t stop working with the Meng family. The Meng family has the support of an
important family from Yanjing. Also, they will be rted by marriage to the Zhang family from Yanjing
after New Year. Now that they are fighting each other, if we stop working with the Meng family, we will
offend them deeply. Moreover, even if Ye Fan is the King of Jiangdong, he only assumed his title for a
few months and is still unstable. If he is going to pit a fight with the colossal Meng family, it''s hard to tell
who will win in the end, right? After all, won''t the influential families from the capital be far stronger than
Mr Chu?" persuaded Xia Yue instead.
Xia Yue was keenly aware that she had deeply provoked Ye Fan, so if the Xia family took Ye Fan''s

side, she would fall into a precarious situation.
After all, Old Master Xia would never give a person with a vendetta against Ye Fan any important roles.
She would rather convince Old Master Xia to take the Meng family''s side rather than risk getting left out
in the cold in the future.
If the Xia family helped the Meng family take down Ye Fan, Xia Yue could remain the family''s eldest
princess.
"No! Grandpa, I think we should answer to Master Li Er''s rally and stop working with the Meng family.
Mr Chu is an incredible man, so we should believe him."
But the typically meek Xia Xue surprisingly found the courage to stand and speak up and opposed Xia
Yue''s suggestion during the family meeting.
"Xue, shut up! You stupid girl! What would you know? This is no ce for you to speak! What incredible
man? Ye Fan became the King of Jiangdong only because of the karma he umted in his
previous life. He might be an incredible man in Jiangdong, but he''s nothing to Yanjing''s influential
families. An incredible man? At best, he''s a louse from the countryside!" shouted Xia Yue instantly. She
didn''t think her meek sister would dare go against her wishes.
Xia Xue was so terrified that she hung her head without daring to utter a word again.
"Enough! Stop arguing!”
After a long silence, Old Master Xia finally spoke up.
In an instant, Xia Yue, Xia Xue, and the Xia family all looked at Old Master Xia.
Old Master Xia raised his head to look at everyone and ordered, "From now on, all the Xia family''s
businesses will cut business ties with the Meng family! Mr Chu is the dragon of Yunzhou. Since our
family has resided in Yunzhou for generations, we''ll support Yunzhou''s
dragon!"
What?
"But Grandpa...." persuaded Xia Yue the moment she heard her grandfather. She had nearly lost all
hope.
"Enough! Xia Yue, I might have overindulged you in the past and made you willful and immature and
caused you to speak rudely to Mr Chu. Do you know if Mr Chu were present, those words you said
would be enough to send the entire family to death? I''m warning you this onest time, if you
disrespect Mr Chu again, then you can hand over your title as the family princess to Xue!" said Old
Master Xia as his thunderous voice exploded.
Old Master Xia''s sternness left Xia Yue pale and afraid to speak.
Simr scenes urred throughout Jiangdong after Chen Ao and the others started to take out the
Meng family.
Some of them silently watched things unfold like the Wang family from Haozhou.
Some of them supported their cause all out like the Xia family.
But simrly, there were those who chose to support the Meng family.
At the Meng family in Liaocheng.
"Humph. That outrageous Mr Chu. How dare he touch the Meng family?" said Meng Chun-Hua angrily
as he mmed the table with a darkened look on his face.
Given the Meng family''s background, he thought Mr Chu wouldn''t dare to move in on them.
But it seemed like Meng Chun-Hua had underestimated Ye Fan''s ferocity after all.
"Chun-Hua, what should we do now? Although we have forces in Jiangdong, they aren''t strong enough
to go against Mr Chu. Over 30 businesses have announced that they would cut ties with us!" said
Meng Hao gravely.
All these years, his mother''s family''s protection allowed the Meng family to develop smoothly in
Jiangdong.
Neither the likes of Zhao Wu-Ji nor Chen Ao ever dared to touch the Meng family.
Now Mr Chu wanted to make an example of the Meng family shortly after he gained power.
Meng Chun-Hua waved his hands. "Dad, calm down. We merely lost a few deals. If no one in the
province wants to work with us, we can look beyond its borders. So long as we don''t lose funding or the
supply chain, the Meng family has nothing to fear!" said Meng Chun-Hua nonchntly in a particrly
confident tone.
Just after he said this, some Meng family members hurried in from outside.
"Chun-Hua, Uncle! Bad...bad news!"
"What''s with the panic? It''s just a few tiny businesses refusing to work with us, isn''t it? It''s such a tiny
matter, but look at how petrified you are. I told you to collect goods from the city suburbs earlier. How
did it turn out?" scolded Meng Chun-Hua sternly when he caught sight of his frantic family members.
"Chun-Hua, that''s what I''m here for. The Xia family agreed to do business with us, but their fleet of
trucks suddenly left, so 180 tons of material got taken back. I called the head of the Xia family, and he
said they won''t provide us with goods from now on."
What?
"How could they do that? They are just a second rate family from Yunzhou. How dare they challenge
us? But we have many channels of supply, so that won''t even cause a dent. Contact the other suppliers
and get them to send us more goods!" said Meng Chun-Hua sternly.
"Chun-Hua, I already have. Out of the eight vendors who have been regrly supplying us stock,
seven of them have terminated their contracts. Only one tiny business is left, but it isn''t enough!" his
cousin replied sadly.
Meng Chun-Hua clenched his fists tightly in an instant and said, "Well done, Mr Chu. He wants to cut
off our supply chain, but can he do it? The world is hungry for profit and only turns for profit. Call the
other seven vendors to tell them Chunhua Group will pay them a billion in advance. Let''s see if they will
turn away free money now?"
