Tan Mingqing and Li Zhihong were dumbfounded!

They've even brought in lawyers; it seems they're serious about this.

Tan Mingqing: "Amei, there must be some misunderstanding here. I'm going to find Mingyuan right now!"

The couple left Hu Meiling's house with unusually grim expressions.

Li Zhigong said to Tan Mingqing, "I really didn't realize your brother was such a scoundrel. He thinks he's some kind of prince, surrounded by women, hitting people, refusing to pay back his money, and even making girls pay him compensation. How can he be so calculating? He shouldn't be driving a car dealership; he should be running a brothel!"

Tan Mingqing also found it unbelievable.

He knew his brother was a womanizer, but he really didn't know that his brother had hit someone and then demanded compensation from Hu Meiling!

This is truly mind-blowing!

Li Zhihong said irritably, "If you ask me, Hu Meiling was right to break up with your brother. Your brother isn't even worth a hair on her head. I'm not going to get involved in this anymore, so don't ask me to persuade him."

After saying that, Li Zhihong went back to work at the factory.

Tan Mingqing went to find Tan Mingyuan and asked him if what Hu Meiling said was true.

This time, Tan Mingyuan was honest and admitted it.

“How can you reconcile after things have gotten this bad? Now they’re going to sue you, and they’ve already hired a lawyer.” Tan Mingqing then repeated to Tan Mingyuan everything that Attorney Jin had said, word for word.

"Let her sue me then. So what if she wins? I just won't pay her back. What can she do about it?"

Tan Mingqing called his parents back home and told them about the situation.

The couple became nervous upon hearing that a lawsuit was imminent.

At that time, ordinary people were still somewhat afraid of lawsuits.

"That young Hu is really something. Why can't we talk things out instead of hiring a lawyer?" Tan's mother said. "Is he planning to send his second son to jail?"

“Mingyuan owes her money and doesn’t pay it back, and even asks her for compensation. Of course she’ll hire help. He owes her 60,000, not 600,” Tan Mingqing said. “If things continue like this, I don’t think it’s possible for them to reconcile. He should pay back as much as he owes her.”

"Easier said than done, how will you repay it?" said Mrs. Tan. "I have no money anyway."

...

Tan Mingqing advised Tan Mingyuan to pay back the money. If he didn't have the money now, he could pay it back in installments. It was shameful for a grown man to default on a woman's debt.

However, Tan Mingyuan not only refused to return the money, but also listed the expenses incurred during the courtship and wedding preparations that same noon and had someone send them to Hu Meiling, demanding that Hu Meiling pay him back!

"Damn it! You bastard!" Father He cursed angrily.

He called Hu Jun again, asking what time he would arrive, and told him about Tan Mingyuan's bizarre actions, saying that when he arrived, they would go and teach him a lesson together! They would smash up his car dealership! He said that it was opened with Hu Meiling's money.

“Mr. He, hitting him and smashing his car dealership is extremely unwise. You’d better not do it,” Attorney Jin advised.

Jin Haichao was worried that He's father might do something rash, so he quickly suggested that He Wenlin tell her about the situation.

He Wenlin immediately called her father: "Dad, please don't go and smash up the car dealership, you'll have to pay compensation."

When He heard He Wenlin say that, He's father knew that Jin Haichao had spoken to He Wenlin on the phone.

Mr. He said, "But I really can't swallow this insult."

“You smashed up the car dealership, we're the ones who lose out, he's the one who benefits. Tan Mingyuan is a scoundrel, he doesn't want to pay back the money.”

That's 60,000 yuan, no small amount. An ordinary person works themselves to the bone for a month and a year and only earns a few yuan.

"Was that Linlin calling?" Hu Meiling heard the voice and reached out to He's father, "I want to say a few words to her."

Mr. He handed the phone to Hu Meiling: "Linlin, it's me."

"Sister, how are you? Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry, Linlin. I didn't trust you before and I questioned you," Hu Meiling said.

"It's okay," He Wenlin said. "Don't be too sad. It's always better to see someone clearly before marriage than after. There are better ones waiting for you."

“Linlin, you sometimes really don’t act like a middle school student,” Hu Meiling said. “Anyway, I’m sorry about this, but now it’s proven that you were right.”

In fact, Hu Meiling did not know what He Wenlin had done in the whole incident, and of course He Wenlin did not say either.

"It's pointless to talk about this now."

If you really want to vent your anger, go to his car dealership with banners, ruin his reputation, and sabotage his business. The dealership isn't just his business; if it fails, his partners will definitely have a problem with him too.

It would be best to let Jiang Huan handle this matter, since she has been beaten before. Even if the Tan family calls the police, Tan Mingyuan will be in the wrong.

Another issue is your lawsuit. If he acts like a rogue, even if you win the case, he won't pay you. You'll have to apply for enforcement, which takes a long time. And even if the court intervenes and he stops acting recklessly, he probably still won't have the money to pay.

After He Wenlin's reminder, Hu Meiling realized that Tan Mingyuan had no money at all.

"Never agree to let him pay in installments."

"Then what should we do? He doesn't have a house to mortgage, and the car is only secondhand and not worth much. We can't just give him the whole 60,000 yuan for a secondhand car."

“Why not?” He Wenlin said, “If he can’t come up with the money, you can take the car. Trust me, don’t give him time to earn money to pay you back. If he transfers the car dealership and spends the money, you’ll get even less. You need a means of transportation to do business.”

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

...

Hu Jun arrived that evening.

You can't smash the cars, but you definitely have to beat up the people.

He's father and Hu Jun beat up Tan Mingyuan.

That evening, Hu Meiling also contacted Jiang Huan and told her about her relationship with Tan Mingyuan.

Jiang Huan herself was still recovering from her injuries, but she felt quite sorry for Hu Meiling. She had been beaten, but at least she hadn't suffered any financial loss.
