Chapter 427 One Step at a Time

Wang Meijing and Dong Shishi were arguing on the phone for a long time before she finally hung up.

She turned to look at Du Lei: "She's still in your house, should we call the police?"

Du Lei scratched his head: "Isn't that necessary? I can just let her go."

Wang Meijing handed the phone back to Du Lei and said dismissively, "You can try."

The phone rang, and Du Lei answered it, holding it to his ear. He heard Dong Shishi's voice: "Du Lei, haven't you made enough of a scene?"

Du Lei was completely dumbfounded and asked in confusion, "Are you kidding me? Who's causing trouble here?"

"Hmph!" Dong Shishi sneered, "Du Lei, don't think that just because you found some cheap woman, you can make me back down. I'm not leaving until you come back."

Hearing this, Du Lei became angry again and said in a deep voice, "Fine, I ask you to leave."

He hung up the phone and immediately dialed 110 to report the incident and explain the situation to the local police station. The police station promised to mediate the conflict as soon as possible.

Du Lei shook his head, finished a basket of steamed buns, and went to the bathroom next door to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Wang Meijing also came in to rinse her mouth, glancing at her sideways: "You must have a really good temper to be able to date a woman like this for four years."

Du Lei put down his toothbrush and looked at the woman who had become his girlfriend after knowing her for less than two hours.

"Tell me, who introduced you?" Du Lei said. "Brother Peng? Hu Mingyue? Or your uncle?"

Wang Meijing chuckled softly and asked gently, "Brother, is this important? Can we not talk about it?"

Du Lei pointed to the bathroom door, "If you don't want to talk, then just disappear from my sight right now."

"Brother, don't be angry." Wang Meijing hugged his arm and giggled, "Wang Peng doesn't have time to be a matchmaker, right?"

Du Lei was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously. He knew that with Wang Peng's personality, he definitely wouldn't waste his time on something like this.

Wang Meijing hugged him tightly. She was quite voluptuous, and Du Lei felt a stirring in his heart.

“Brother Lei, you may not know this, but my uncle has two daughters in their twenties,” Wang Meijing added.

Du Lei nodded, understanding. Given his current status, Feng Daliang would definitely introduce his daughter, not his niece.

“Hu Mingyue! Hu Mingyue…” Du Lei smiled bitterly.

Outsiders all say that Du Lei is the number three person in Brothers Supermarket, but actually Hu Mingyue is. Relying on Wang Peng's favor, Du Lei doesn't dare to offend her.

He came out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and had Wang Meijing sit opposite him. He asked, "State your conditions."

Wang Meijing smiled slightly and said, "I have no conditions. I just want to have your child and live a good life with you."

Du Lei was a little confused and asked, "Is getting a marriage certificate a prerequisite for having children and living together?"

"No, that's not it." Wang Meijing shook her head. "If you don't want to get a marriage certificate, we don't have to. I don't care."

"I don't believe it," Du Lei said. "I don't have Peng Ge's looks, nor his talent. Do you think you can just throw yourself at me?"

Wang Meijing walked to his side and straddled his lap: "Sister Mingyue told me that high-level hunters often appear as prey."

Hearing this, Du Lei was even more bewildered. However, since it was Hu Mingyue who said it, he didn't want to refute it.

"Okay, let's date for now. As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't treat you badly." Du Lei stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

The receptionist smiled and told him, "Mr. Du, all the expenses from yesterday have been charged to Mr. Wang's account."

Du Lei shook his head: "Settle the bill for me, I'll pay."

"Mr. Du, this really won't do." The receptionist said somewhat awkwardly, "This was specifically instructed by Mr. Wang. Why don't you give him a call?"

"Forget it." Du Lei didn't want to bother Brother Peng over such a trivial matter, so he turned and walked towards the door.

The sound of high heels came from behind him, and Du Lei turned around. Wang Meijing jogged over and hugged his arm.

She was carrying a plastic bag containing the toothpaste and toothbrush she had just bought.

The two arrived outside the store. Du Lei took out his car keys and unlocked his Santana sedan.

Wang Meijing sat in the passenger seat, looking curiously into the car. "What a high-end sedan! How much did you pay for it?"

"Two hundred thousand." Du Lei pointed to the seatbelt. "Fasten your seatbelt and come with me to the company."

"Two...two hundred thousand? My husband is amazing!" Wang Meijing instantly protected her little fangirl and kissed Du Lei on the cheek.

Du Lei froze, forgetting to start the car. He recalled that when they bought the car, Dong Shishi was not only unhappy, but also complained that the Santana was inferior to an Audi.

She said at the time, "Sister Mingzhu rides in an Audi, and I'm no worse off than her, yet you make me ride in a Santana?"

"Brother Lei, what's wrong?" Wang Meijing shook his arm and asked softly.

"I'm fine." Du Lei was in a great mood, thinking to himself, "This must be the emotional value that Brother Peng was talking about."

He bent down to fasten Wang Meijing's seatbelt, then drove home instead of going to the company.

On the way, he received a call from the Xueyuan Road Police Station, informing him that Dong Shishi and the cleaning lady had been persuaded to leave.

Throughout the journey, Wang Meijing acted like a country girl, full of curiosity about everything in the car.

Back home, Du Lei looked at the mess in the house and gritted his teeth. This was definitely the result of Dong Shishi's temper tantrum.

Without saying a word, Wang Meijing rolled up her sleeves, put on an apron, and began cleaning.

Du Lei watched helplessly as her messy bedroom was transformed into an orderly home through her hard work.

At that moment, a warm feeling rose in his heart.

"I'm so tired." Wang Meijing took off her apron, lay down on the sofa, and rested her head on Du Lei's lap.

Looking at her face, Du Lei was filled with mixed emotions. Such a hardworking and sensible girl was the kind of person he should consider marrying.

"Meijing, I don't have time for dating, and I don't want to date anymore. Let's get straight to marriage."

Du Lei said, "I want to get rid of Dong Shishi's entanglement. If you give me a child, I'll go with you to report the wedding."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Meijing jumped up: "Is it just reporting the wedding? Are you not going to get the marriage certificate?"

"We're not considering getting a marriage certificate for now." Du Lei shook his head. "If you don't agree, you can leave."

"Such a big house, such a nice car, I don't want to leave!" Wang Meijing exclaimed and pounced on Du Lei.

In the cozy residential community, Wang Peng received a call from Dong Shishi.

“Brother Peng, I just came out of the police station. Du Lei called the police,” Dong Shishi said through gritted teeth.

“I don’t care. What do you want?” Wang Peng went straight to the point.

“I want to sell my two percent stake. Brilliant is willing to give me two hundred thousand. What about you?” Dong Shishi said.

“Dong Shishi, according to the current market, your shares are worth at most 100,000,” Wang Peng said. “I don’t believe Brilliant is willing to pay 200,000.”

“Brother Peng, it’s not a matter of whether you believe it or not, they really are offering 200,000.” Dong Shishi added, “If you persuade Du Lei to get back together with me, I’ll sell it to you for 100,000.”

“I’m sorry, I won’t betray my brothers for profit,” Wang Peng said. “I don’t want your shares, you can sell them as you see fit.”
