A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1173

"That's odd. Why isn't anyone from the Xur family answering? How dare they!"

Chu Qi-Tian flew into a rage because no one had picked up his call. He secretly decided to find a chance to teach them a lesson in the future.

Chu Qi-Tian called the Lu family instead when the Xur family didn't answer for a long time.

"Hmm? How dare the Lu family ignore me too?"

Chu Qi-Tian frowned angrily.

"Keep calling. Call until they answer!”

Chu Zheng-Liang detected something amiss. His deep voice sounded faintly pissed.

Chu Qi-Tian went on calling repeatedly.

Just as he was about to give up and send someone to China, the phone got through.

"Lu Cang-Qiong, how dare you! How dare you ignore my phone call? Do you think you have the power to oppose the Chu family? Let's not forget that the Lu family only got to enjoy such success because of our support!" scolded Chu Qi-Tian the moment someone answered the phone.

All along, the Lu and Xur clans were like subordinates to Chu Qi-Tian. Since they were affiliated to the Chu family, they ought to do as the Chu family said.

Chu Qi-Tian was naturally furious that Lu Cang-Qiong had the guts to not answer his call.

However, the man on the phone said nothing after Chu Qi-Tian scolded him.

"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you a mute or something?" scolded Chu Qi-Tian angrily.

"I suppose you are Young Master Chu?" asked a deep voice through the phone.

Chu Qi-Tian froze when he heard this voice. "Wait! You're not Lu Cang-Qiong. Who are you?”

"Where is Lu Cang-Qiong? Tell Lu Cang-Qiong to answer the phone!"

Lu Cang-Qiong had always been the main point of contact for the Chu family.

After all, Lu Cang-Qiong was the patriarch of the family and was the eldest as well as the most respected member of the family. In the entire family, only Lu Cang-Qiong had the right to speak to the Chu family.

The rest of them were unfit to communicate with them.

Hence, Chu Qi-Tian instantly demanded Lu Cang-Qiong come to the phone when he realized it wasn't him.

"My father is sick, so I'm now the head of the family," said Lu He coldly through the phone.

"Is Lu Cang-Qiong your father? You must be his eldest son, Lu He, right? Fine. Since you are the head of the clan now that Lu Cang-Qiong is getting on his age, you will be the Chu family's main point of contact from now on. Listen up. I told both your families to enter Jiangdong. How are things going for that? Have you eradicated all of that so-called Mr Chu's powers? Did you manage to find the man I was looking for?" asked Chu Qi-Tian coldly in a lofty tone.

However, Lu He ignored Chu Qi-Tian and said, "Young Master Chu, I really didn't want to answer the phone at first. Now that I have, let me make things clear. I don't know what you gave my father back in the day or how many favors you have granted my family. But my family has done so many things for you all these years. Regardless of our debt to you, we have paid for everything by now. From now on, in the name of the Lu family as the head of the family, I hereby declare that we will sever ties with the Chu family. You are on your own. We will never contact each other again!"

BAM!

Lu He sounded swift and decisive.

His deep, firm voice came off as resounding as gold falling on the ground.

Chu Qi-Tian was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide.

"What did you just say? Are you going to betray the Chu family? How dare you! Do you know what the consequences of betrayal are? Are you really going to..."
