Chapter 64 The Truth Behind Pei Yanli's Car Accident & Littering Cigarettes...
After walking a distance, Luo Yunqing felt a sudden chill for no apparent reason.
It's only been a little over three months since the Lunar New Year, and Song Xuechen has already found another family? And it just so happens to be the Wang family.
As she slowed her pace and carefully recalled the scene, Luo Yunqing felt that something was amiss.
You found it yourself, so why isn't there any joy on your face?
"There's only one possibility." Chen Zhao came out of the main courtyard, having heard about what happened on the road. He looked around, then pulled the person aside and whispered, "The Song family recently signed two cooperation agreements with the Wang family. He should... the boss's wife?"
His eyes dimmed in an instant.
Luo Yunqing turned to look at the distant covered bridge, as if asking Chen Zhao, but also as if asking himself: "Tell me, if I hadn't been switched at birth, would I... have ended up like this?"
He had long seen through Song Jingguo's selfishness, but he still hoped that he would have some affection for the son he had raised for more than ten years.
But he still overestimated Song Jingguo.
When faced with self-interest, even the thinnest feelings can be easily discarded.
"Boss lady..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Luo Yunqing quickly put aside her sadness and asked, "How is it inside?"
“The Wang family naturally disagrees.” Chen Zhao skipped over the redundant conversation and stated the result, “The connection between the Wang and Pei families has always been through the First Madam. With the divorce, at least most of the projects that the two families are currently undertaking or planning will be affected, if not all of them…”
At this point, Luo Yunqing could easily tell that it was all about interests.
“Yes.” Chen Zhao couldn’t help but sigh, “They made such a big fuss and spread it around, making it sound like the First Madam has suffered a great injustice in the Pei family all these years.”
All for the sake of profit.
He worried, "Given the current situation, 35 billion might not be enough. If the old man is determined to divorce, he'll have to pay even more."
"What did the old man say?" Luo Yunqing clenched her fist in anger: "Are we really going to let them get away with it?"
“Of course not! But…” Chen Zhao stammered, “The First Madam did give birth to a child for the Pei family, and now it’s the Master who proposed the divorce. No matter what, she’s not in the right.”
“She’s not in the right.” Luo Yunqing chewed on those three words carefully. “That’s when she did nothing wrong.”
Chen Zhao instantly realized: "What the landlady means is..."
"Have you forgotten?" Luo Yunqing opened her phone and found the video: "We still have our ace up our sleeve."
Last year, Pei Yanli had just had the steel plate removed from her leg, and Wang Manshu had someone tamper with their car.
The fact that it wasn't exposed at the time doesn't mean it never happened.
“But boss lady, if you do this, they will hold a grudge against you.” Chen Zhao quickly reached out to stop her. “No matter what, you can’t get involved. Just leave it to me.”
If it absolutely has to be exposed, then let him do it.
In this way, all attention will be focused on the boss.
Luo Yunqing pondered for a while, then nodded: "Alright."
He was about to hand over the video.
Suddenly, a shadow swept past me.
Without even glancing at them, he strode into the main courtyard.
"Grandpa!" Chen Zhao looked over, his heart pounding. "Didn't he hear me?"
Luo Yunqing shook her head silently and caught up with him in two steps.
He walked to the door and then immediately stopped.
The room fell silent abruptly after Pei Wenxian's sudden intrusion.
It wasn't until Wang Ruiming, the current head of the Wang family, spoke up: "Wenxian, what brings you here? Your father just said you were sick."
“The head of the Wang family has come to visit in person.” Pei Wenxian lowered his posture: “Even if I am very ill, I must get up and see you.”
Wang Ruiming, his hands twirling Buddhist prayer beads, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you really going to divorce Manshu?"
"yes."
Pei Wenxian answered without hesitation, looking up to meet his scrutinizing gaze, "My relationship with her broke down, we couldn't go on, so it's normal for us to get a divorce. There's no need for you to come here in person."
He was humble in his demeanor, but every word he uttered was quite impolite.
Wang Ruiming's smile vanished completely, and he warned coldly, "No matter what, Manshu is still my daughter. She's been married into your Pei family for over twenty years. You think you can just divorce her like that?"
"Married into the Pei family? Heh." Pei Wenxian chuckled softly. "We all know how she got into the Pei family."
"Big brother!" Before Wang Ruiming could get angry, Pei Yanli spoke up first: "If you can't live together, then get a divorce. Don't bring up anything else."
The more involved, the harder it is to resolve this issue.
At present, as long as an agreement can be reached smoothly, the divorce is over.
“Yanli is right. If you can’t make it work, it’s not a big deal to leave.” Wang Ruiming calmly loosened his grip on the Buddhist prayer beads and smiled at the person opposite him: “As expected of the acting head of the Pei family, it seems that Old Pei did not choose the wrong person.”
“My father has a good eye.” Ignoring Pei Yanli’s head-shaking dissuasion, Pei Wenxian spoke again: “If it were given to me, it would probably be given to someone else in no time.”
He took a deep breath and poured out all the things that had been weighing on his mind for so long, "Second brother, I'm sorry, before... I almost caused you to never be able to stand up again."
The volume was extremely soft, yet it sounded like a thunderclap.
Pei Yanli stared at him silently, her hands on the mahogany chair tightening their grip little by little.
Following that, Pei Wenxian took out a USB drive. "The recording of Manshu's conversation with her brother Wang Shaofu, as well as the evidence of bribing the truck driver, are all here. They are enough to prove who was responsible for the car accident that Ali had last year."
He turned and glanced at the pale-faced middle-aged man next to Wang Ruiming. "Brother-in-law, should we go to the jail and talk to the driver who caused the accident? Or should we have your secretary do it?"
"Boss!" A cane thumped on the ground. The old man coughed twice and pointed at him, "You!"
"Your son is wrong." After saying this, Pei Wenxian suddenly collapsed to his knees, saying, "Your son is terribly wrong, extremely wrong."
He mustered his last strength and slammed his head to the ground, then looked up and glanced at Pei Yanli.
Divorce is ultimately his private matter.
How can the entire Pei family be asked to make concessions for him because of his personal affairs?
The Pei family has been passed down for generations; there is no reason for them to bow down to other powerful families.
Brother, you must demonstrate the authority of the 37th head of the Pei family and not allow anyone to trample on the Pei family!
Pei Yanli swallowed the sob that rose in her throat as she clenched her knuckles until they turned white, and ordered in a deep voice, "Butler, go and get the USB drive from his hand."
Butler Zhang immediately stepped forward, took the USB drive, and handed it over.
"If what you say is true, elder brother," Pei Yanli said, looking at the other side, her previous politeness and deference completely gone, "Let's calculate this matter first!"
“This…” Wang Shaofu sat up straight subconsciously, having received a cold look from the family head, and panicked: “Is there some misunderstanding here? How could I, Manshu, do such a thing?”
“Impossible? Fine.” Pei Yanli put the USB drive into her palm and said to the butler, “Go and invite the First Madam over.”
…………
Hearing this, Luo Yunqing turned and silently left the main courtyard.
Chen Zhao followed along.
He hadn't gone far when he couldn't help but curse, "I knew it! They did it!"
"Um."
"This old man is really going all out this time." He then sighed again.
Knowing full well that once this thing was brought out, he wouldn't be able to escape, he still went ahead without hesitation in order to avoid being controlled by the Wang family.
Luo Yunqing took a breath, looked up at the sky where there was no sunlight, and couldn't help but think of what happened after Pei Yanli died in her previous life.
His older brother did show up once.
They knelt before the memorial tablet, weeping bitterly.
I guess I was sincere back then.
"Hey, my cousin is really dumbfounded, he didn't react at all."
A piercing sound rang out, instantly pulling me back to reality.
As they walked outside the main courtyard, they saw the man from before standing in front of Pei Hengzhi with Song Xuechen in his arms. He waved his hand in front of Pei Hengzhi's eyes twice, then grabbed Song Xuechen's neck and kissed her in front of him.
"I feel kind of sorry for him," Chen Zhao muttered.
Turning his head, he met Luo Yunqing's gloomy gaze and immediately shut up.
"Yes, he is pitiful. Xiaoyu is not pitiful. Pei Yanli, who was almost killed by the reed fluff, is not pitiful. Only he is pitiful."
"Boss lady, I was wrong, I was wrong," Chen Zhao pleaded repeatedly. "Stop reading it."
"He's pitiful, yet hateful." But as long as he's surnamed Pei, as long as he's still a member of the Pei family, it's not up to anyone else to run wild here.
Luo Yunqing turned her head and asked again, "What do you think the final outcome will be for the main courtyard?"
Why did we suddenly jump back to this topic?
Chen Zhao thought about it carefully: "On the matter of divorce alone, the eldest son and the Pei family are at a disadvantage. They owe the eldest daughter-in-law no matter what. But now, it's clear that the eldest daughter-in-law is colluding with the Wang family to harm the boss, so the case is on our side. I guess the boss will definitely choose to call the police."
"Then what."
"The Wang Shaofu that the old man just mentioned is the heir that the Wang family has already chosen. If such a big thing happens to the heir, the blow to the Wang family is self-evident." Chen Zhao continued to analyze logically: "The Wang family will not be able to gain any benefits from the divorce. Even if they can maintain the facade, the relationship will collapse sooner or later."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Luo Yunqing pointed and said, "Can't you see they're causing trouble? Get them out of here."
…………
Pei Wenxian's silent move completely turned the tide of the battle.
The Wang family arrived arrogantly, but left dejected.
Even before leaving, they had to pay a fine of 3.8 million won from the security department for littering cigarette butts.
Wang Yizhou: "How much do you want!"
“3.8 million.” Chen Zhao calmly took out the compensation bill. “That pond was carefully maintained by the Pei family’s servants. It was stained by a cigarette butt for no reason. Not only did all the water in the pond have to be changed, but there were also dozens of expensive koi in it. The compensation of 3.8 million is only because the first wife is still married. Otherwise, it would be much more.”
He placed the compensation bill in front of the person and said only two words: "Pay up."
Wang Yizhou was furious and grabbed him by the collar.
"court death!"
"Go ahead and hit me." Chen Zhao was no longer afraid. He raised his hand to stop the bodyguards behind him and raised his face upwards: "Go ahead and hit me. Anyway, after you're done, you'll have to compensate me for lost wages, nutrition expenses, and mental distress. All in all, I'll give you 70 million."
"Ha! You?"
"What's wrong with me? Oh! I forgot to introduce myself." Chen Zhao casually brushed his hand away and straightened her clothes: "Nice to meet you. My name is Chen Zhao, the private secretary of the second master of the Pei family. Let alone seventy million, even if you add another zero, it would be just as appropriate."
"Are you really worth that much?"
After hearing about the conflict between him and Wang Yizhou at the security department, Luo Yunqing's first reaction was, "He can really make things up."
"Boss lady," Chen Zhao said helplessly, drawing out his words, "how worthless do you think I am?"
Luo Yunqing remained silent, leaning against the covered bridge and feeding the koi in the pond. After a few seconds of silence, she skillfully glossed over the matter, asking, "3.8 million, a loss?"
"He wouldn't dare not pay."
"That's good."
"So, how much does the landlady think I'm worth?"
Chen Zhao began to compete.
"The main courtyard should be finished by now," Luo Yunqing changed the subject again, swatting away the remaining fish food in her hand. "I'm going to pick up Ali."
"Boss lady, come back here and explain yourself!"
