Hu Mingyue, unwilling to miss the chance to watch the show, went to Hu Juan and Wang Song's side to deal with Li Guifen together.

When Wang Peng returned home, he found Li Mingzhu standing by the window, also watching the commotion.

He smiled slightly, walked to the window, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Having fun?"

Li Mingzhu nodded and said, "I really don't understand what Li Guifen is thinking?"

Wang Peng sneered and said softly, "When malice towards another person becomes a habit, that's what Li Guifen looks like."

Li Guifen's malice towards Wang Peng had been present since childhood and had long become a habit.

Even if Wang Peng showed her his heart, she would still think he was heartless.

"Hmph!" Li Guifen sneered and said, "She's a complete failure in this life, and her ending will definitely be one of betrayal and alienation from everyone."

Wang Peng thought it made sense, so he patted her head and said softly, "I'll go cook. Do you want me to help you up to bed to rest?"

"No need, I just got out of bed." Li Mingzhu yawned and continued to watch the conflict downstairs.

Wang Peng changed his clothes and went to the kitchen to cook.

Downstairs across the street, Wang Cheng also joined the fray; he had just spotted Wang Peng's new car upstairs.

When he arrived downstairs, Li Guifen was already red-faced and furious, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.

"Father, what do you mean?" Wang Cheng stared at Wang Song.

"I didn't mean anything? What do you mean?" Wang Song met his gaze, remaining completely calm.

He used to be supported by Wang Cheng, and he was always timid in front of Wang Cheng.

He can support himself now with just his brother's shares, and with Wang Peng backing him up, he's not worried about Wang Cheng at all.

Wang Cheng sneered, gritting his teeth, and said, "My mom just came out to throw out the trash, and you've made her this angry?"

"Even a one-night stand between husband and wife can create a hundred nights of kindness; you two have lived together for over thirty years."

At this point, Wang Cheng finally noticed the brand-new Alto and muttered to himself, "What's up with this car?"

Hu Mingyue interjected: "My older brother just bought an Audi and an Alto. These cars are wedding gifts for Grandpa Song."

She hugged her mother's arm, hid behind Wang Song, and peeked out, saying, "Why don't you buy a car for Aunt Li too, to show your filial piety?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Guifen's face turned even redder, and she looked up at Wang Cheng.

Wang Song realized the motive behind provoking Wang Cheng and hurriedly said, "Wang Cheng, don't you always say that you are more filial than your older brother?"

"Now that your older brother bought me an Alto worth 80,000 yuan, are you going to buy one for your mother too?"

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes, and he sneered, "You don't need to provoke me with words. I will buy her a car sooner or later."

"Don't be stubborn. You can definitely afford it now. Buy one and let me see," Wang Song said in a deep voice.

Wang Cheng's face darkened, and he stared directly at Wang Song: "My affairs are none of your business."

As he spoke, he took Li Guifen's hand and said, "Mother, let's not stoop to their level."

The mother and son reached the top of the stairs. Wang Song chuckled and said, "I'm having my wedding at the Yuekai Hotel on the 28th of this month's lunar calendar. I'll send you an invitation in a few days."

Wang Cheng paused, turned around, and glared at him fiercely, saying, "No need!"

Wang Song watched the mother and son go upstairs, and couldn't help but smile and straighten his chest.

"Uncle, you're driving him crazy!" Hu Mingyue grinned from ear to ear, giving him a thumbs-up.

"It's only natural for a father to scold his son," Wang Song said proudly, puffing out his chest.

"Alright, drive the car downstairs to our building." Hu Juan handed him the car keys and led her daughter upstairs.

When she arrived at Wang Peng's house, she immediately kicked him out of the kitchen and cooked the meal herself.

After parking his car, Wang Song returned home and went to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

Wang Peng pushed open the bedroom door and found Li Mingzhu and Hu Mingyue chatting, so he turned around and went to the study.

He took out his phone and called Du Lei, saying, "Do you have time at noon? Come over for lunch?"

Du Lei said, "I'll be there soon. I'll treat myself to a good meal today."

In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Wang Peng's house from the Brothers Supermarket.

In the study, he handed a document to Wang Peng and said, "This is the story of Du Dandan and Wang Cheng's love affair."

Wang Peng looked at it carefully.

Du Dandan and Wang Cheng met in the second semester of their freshman year. They quickly developed into a couple after only knowing each other for half a month.

Then, with Du Dandan's letter of introduction, Wang Cheng came to work at Huihuang Supermarket.

During his time working there, he ingratiated himself with his boss, Huang Ran, and hooked up with Hu Qing, after which he proposed breaking up with Du Dandan.

But Du Dandan refused to agree and kept asking Wang Cheng to get back together. Eventually, she developed mental problems and dropped out of school.

Wang Peng read it from beginning to end, and his first impression was that it was a melodramatic and formulaic love story.

The scumbag Wang Cheng seduced and abandoned her, while the devoted Du Dandan went mad with love.

Du Dandan's elder brother, Du Lisan, must hate Wang Cheng.

Wang Peng frowned, thought about it carefully, and felt that something was not right.

He asked Du Lei, "Brother Lei, have you read this document?"

Du Lei nodded hurriedly: "I studied it all night yesterday and read it three times from beginning to end."

Wang Peng pressed further, "Tell me your thoughts."

Du Lei scratched his head and said softly, "When Wang Cheng forcibly broke up with Du Dandan, he was just a small employee at Huihuang Supermarket, while Du Lisan was already a big boss."

"If I were Du Lisan, and if I cared for my sister, I would definitely use unconventional methods to deal with Wang Cheng."

“Brother Peng, a big boss worth tens of millions, has a million ways to make Wang Cheng disappear.”

Du Lei finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Wang Peng cautiously.

Wang Peng chuckled and asked, "You mean, Du Lisan's encouragement of me to compete with Brilliant No. 5 Store was actually a trap he set for me?"

"Awesome!" Du Lei gave Wang Peng a thumbs up and praised him, "Brother Peng, great minds think alike."

"Great minds think alike." Wang Peng crossed his legs and tossed him a pack of cigarettes.

"Thank you, boss," Du Lei hurriedly put the cigarettes in his pocket and said, "Since we both think this is a trap, then it must be a trap."

“I suspect that Du Lisan colluded with Wang Cheng to trick us into opening the supermarket in Huihuang District.”

"They seem confident that they can control us in the Brilliant District."

After Du Lei finished speaking, he lay down on the sofa, smiling as he waited for his boss to think it over.

Wang Peng fell into deep thought, increasingly convinced that this was a trap. He asked, "Is Du Dandan in the provincial capital?"

“No more.” Du Lei shook his head and said, “Two months ago, Du Lisan sent her to his aunt’s house in the countryside.”

Wang Peng muttered to himself, "You're sending someone to the countryside to contact her?"

“No need for contact.” Hu Mingyue pushed open the door and said with a smile, “Brother, Brother Lei, no one knows Du Dandan better than me.”

Du Lei was taken aback, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. It turned out that this girl had been eavesdropping all along.

Wang Peng glared at her. "You brat, eavesdropping on work secrets?"

"Injustice!" Hu Mingyue went inside and closed the door, smiling as she said, "I'm your secretary, of course I have to care about my boss's life."

"How come I didn't know you were my secretary?" Wang Peng scratched his head and glared at her.
