Chapter 1868


    Mo Gucheng''s instructions had caused the War God Castle to miss their closest opportunity to learn


    the truth.


    As a result, Lu Ziming''s phone call failed to raise the rm at Mount Yan.


    Since everyone''s attention was focused on the faraway Chu Sect, they weren''t concerned with what


    was happening in Jiangbei.


    Meanwhile, it was peaceful at the Lu mansion.


    Ever since Ye Fan and Junie started his treatment, there were no longer any movements.


    Upon Ye Fan''s instructions, Lu Ziming had men guarding the mansion''s perimeter to prevent


    strangers from approaching.


    “That''s weird. What''s going on at the Lu mansion?”


    As school had just ended, Qiu Mucheng and Liu Yubingwere taking Qiu Mufan home.


    It was just that the road they had to pass by was sealed.


    At the same time, the mansion was filled with people. All of them were heavily armed and scanning


    the surroundings vigntly. Any car or individual trying to pass was turned back by security.


    “This is a public road. What gives the Lu n the right to block it off? I can''t ept this. I have to


    speak to them about it.”


    Just when Liu Yubing was about to get out of the car in anger, Qiu Mucheng stopped her.


    “Forget it, Yubing. It''s better not to get into any trouble. Let''s just circle around,” she suggested


    softly.


    Nagged by a sense of unease, she had a grim look on her face.


    “Mucheng, what''s wrong? This isn''t like you. Why are you so fearful? Have you forgotten how brave


    we were a year ago when we overpowered a pervert on public transport?”


    Liu Yubing turned to look at her good friend.


    She suddenly felt as if Qiu Mucheng had changed.


    Thetter had lost her courage, no longer the Qiu Mucheng she knew.


    Otherthan getting Liu Yubingto drive home, Qiu Mucheng didn''t say another word.


    “Mufan, go and do your homework,” Qiu Mucheng instructed upon returning to Liu Yubing''s house.


    Once he was gone, only the two women were left in the living room.


    “Mucheng, are you all right? Are you still disturbed by what happened the other day? Since the


    perpetrator has been nabbed and the police have closed the case, we are safe now,” Liu Yubing


    reassured her.


    However, Qiu Mucheng shook her head. “It''s not going to be that easy. As long as I don''t submit, the


    Meng family will never let me go. Furthermore, he has begun to take action against you and Fan


    junior,” shemented.


    She had assumed Meng Chuan would at least have some principles as the eldest son of the Meng


    family.


    Unfortunately, she had overestimated how virtuous he was and his family''s influence on Livingsfill.


    Even her boss dared to take such a huge risk just to ingratiate himself with the Meng family.


    Thus, Qiu Mucheng couldn''t believe what would happen if she continued to stay in Livingsfill.


    Even though mother and son managed to escape thest crisis, she wondered if she would still be


    as lucky when faced with the next one.

    Consequently, she had finally decided to leave Livingsfill and Jiangbei after giving it a lot of thought.


    “What? You''re leaving? Mucheng, are you overreacting? You have just familiarized yourself and


    settled in here. And now, you want to go? Have you forgotten about our promise to buy a ce next


    to each other and be neighbors?”


    Upon hearing that Qiu Mucheng wanted to leave Jiangbei, Liu Yubing grew anxious.


    “Yubing, I''m sorry. I truly wanted to continue staying here. However, the current circumstances have


    made Jiangbei uninhabitable for both me and my son.”


    “In that case, why don''t you consider getting together with Mr. Meng? Since he has pursued you for


    such a long time, you might as well give it a try. Perhaps, his feelings for you are true, and he


    sincerely wants you to be his wife. Besides, what''s not to like being married into a prominent family?


    By doing so, you don''t have to leave and never have to worry about your livelihood.”


    At times, Liu Yubing didn''t understand what was going through Qiu Mucheng''s mind.


    If their positions were switched, she would have already epted any son of a rich family who


    pursued her.


    Not only did Meng Chuane from an illustrious family, but he was also extraordinarily handsome.


    In fact, he was the dreamboat of many girls.


    Unfortunately, her friend had rejected his approach for almost two years.


    “Yubing, didn''t I tell you I would never ept another man again? You should stop talking about


    marrying for money. I, Qiu Mucheng, will never rely on someone else for my survival! I believe I can


    live a good life independently.” Qiu Mucheng raised her voice suddenly.


    When she said those words, her eyes were filled with resolve and defiance.


    Liu Yubing was stunned. “Mucheng, why do you have to be so stubborn? With your talents and


    looks, you can easily live an easy and happy life. In life, everyone has a part to y, isn''t it? The


    men are supposed to be breadwinners, whiledies take care of them and the children. That''s the


    majority''s attitude toward life.


    “Do you know that my dream life is to marry into a rich family? That way, I don''t have to work all day


    and suffer the misery of office politics. Moreover, I will have lots of time and money to spend on


    enjoying life.”


    Qiu Mucheng shook her head with a smile. “There was once a woman whose husband was the


    King of Jiangdong. Everyone would treat her with deference as if she were the queen of Jiangdong.


    However, she wasn''t happy at all. Other than mour, she had nothing else.


    “She was just like a vase that was disyed at home. The only thing she could do was to pray and


    wait. Those circumstances made her feel as if she were a useless person who had no value and


    found no meaning in her own existence.


    “One day, somedies appeared by the King of Jiangdong''s side. They were all prettier and more


    capable than her. In fact, they were able to help him...”


    Just as Qiu Mucheng rted the story, the images of Xu Lei of Yanjing and Chiike Shizuka, who


    controlled Japan''s triad, shed across her mind.


    All the women by Ye Fan''s side were both exceptional and stunning.


    In fact, Qiu Mucheng felt that if her grandpa hadn''t forced her to marry Ye Fan under coincidental


    circumstances then, he likely wouldn''t be interested in her.


    Later on, Ye Fan seldom came home nor stayed connected with her.


    Back then, she kept assuming that his dangerous job was the reason for his behavior.


    But after deliberating on it, she figured it was because he no longer fancied her.


    That is understandable as no one could love an empty vase forever. There would always be more


    beautiful and exquisite vases out there, especially since Ye Fan was such a high-profile person.


    Tons of exceptional women would probably surround him. It''s my fault for just being mediocre.


    Just as sheughed, tears began to flow out of her


    eyes.


    Liu Yubing was confused as she didn''t know what Qiu Mucheng was talking about.


    Suddenly, a couple of luxury cars arrived outside amidst their chat.


    At the head of the convoy was a Bentley.


    As the car door swung open automatically, it revealed Meng Chuan''s frosty expression.


    “Mr. Meng, the person you''re looking for is inside,” an elderly man by his side reported.


    Without saying a word, Meng Chuan waved his hand.


    Whoosh!


    The next moment, all the doors of the convoy swung open in unison.


    More than ten burly men swarmed out of the cars and surged toward the main door.
