Xia Jiufa saw with his own eyes that his daughter was hugging Ma Yunfei tightly, and it was clear that his daughter had fallen in love with Ma Yunfei.
Xia Jiufa only has this one daughter, whom he cherishes dearly. Now, Ma Yunfei, a married man, is going to ruin his daughter's life, which makes him unable to tolerate it any longer.
He couldn't do anything about his daughter, but he could cut off her supply line by targeting Ma Yunfei.
Xia Jiufa originally planned to send a few thugs to break Ma Yunfei's legs so that he would never be able to get out of bed again.
But then I thought, if we lose Ma Yunfei as a major client, our business will be greatly affected.
Business people have always put money first.
Xia Jiufa decided to have a serious talk with Ma Yunfei, so he went to the guest room.
Ma Yunfei was already asleep when he was awakened by the knocking. He got out of bed and opened the door, only to find Xia Jiufa standing outside.
"Mr. Xia, is there something you need?"
Xia Jiufa entered the guest room and said unhappily, "Why would I come looking for you if there's nothing wrong?"
Ma Yunfei knew at a glance that Xia Jiufa must have come to settle scores with him, so he decided to strike first.
"President Xia, Tianmei and I are like brother and sister. She has been a little too intimate with me, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. However, I will keep things in check and will never bully Tianmei. Please rest assured about that."
Xia Jiufa frowned and said angrily, "Xiao Ma, I can tell you're a man with high emotional intelligence, but I didn't expect that after just a few interactions with my daughter, she would fall for you. Frankly speaking, I'm furious with you. If it were up to me, I'd want to stab you to death."
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "President Xia, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to upset you. I admit that I have a very good impression of Tianmei, and I do have a bit of a connection with her. However, this connection can only be defined as a brother-sister relationship. I have principles on this point."
“Xiao Ma, you’re a smooth talker. You say nice things, but what you do is another matter. As a married man, you should keep a certain distance from other women. I believe that if you had done that, my daughter wouldn’t be so close to you.”
Ma Yunfei felt wronged. He had only happened to see a few thugs bullying Xia Tian and stepped in to help. Had he done something wrong?
Ma Yunfei also found it strange that some women would feel a good impression of him upon meeting him, and even develop feelings of love for him. Could it be that he possessed a magical power to seduce women?
"Mr. Xia, what... what can I say? I've made my stance clear, but you think I'm just being glib. If I don't say anything, you'll think I'm determined to harm your daughter. I swear, if I've done anything to betray your daughter, may I be struck by lightning, drowned, or run over by a car..."
Xia Jiufa's brows furrowed even more. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Xiao Ma, don't give me that. I never listen to what people say, but I look at what they do."
Ma Yunfei sighed and asked helplessly, "President Xia, what do you think I should do?"
"Do I need to teach you what to do? You're a married man, how can you hug another woman? Do you think that's appropriate?"
"President Xia, you should have seen it very clearly from the second floor. It was Tianmei who hugged me. My hands were always by my sides, and I even tried my best to persuade Tianmei to calm down."
Xia Jiufa asked coldly, "Xiao Ma, I want to have a serious talk with you tonight. I hope you can tell the truth."
"Okay, I promise to tell the truth."
"Xiao Ma, how's your relationship with your wife?"
"My wife and I have a very good relationship. We've only been married for four months, and it feels like we're still in our honeymoon phase. I love my wife deeply; she's the only woman I truly love."
"Xiao Ma, since you love your wife so much, why are you so intimate with other women? If it were me, I would definitely act very serious and cold in front of other women, so that they would keep their distance from me."
"President Xia, I can't do that. It's not that I intentionally seduce other women, but I'm a soft-hearted person, and I have to observe basic etiquette."
"Little Ma, do you love my daughter?"
"President Xia, I have a very good impression of Tianmei, and I would very much like to have her as my sister, that's all."
Xia Jiufa said angrily, "You little brat, I know you have ulterior motives: you want to keep your wife at home while having affairs on the side, and you want my daughter to be your mistress."
"President Xia, you've wronged me, you've really wronged me. I had no such intention at all."
"Xiao Ma, for the sake of my daughter liking you, go back and divorce your wife."
Ma Yunfei was startled and stammered, "President Xia, what...what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you understand what I mean? As long as you divorce your wife, I will agree to your marriage with my daughter. Actually, I was forced into this. I can tell that my daughter likes you, and it won't be easy to force you two to stay apart."
"Mr. Xia, it's impossible for me to divorce my wife. I have a three-year-old daughter. Besides, I'm a married man, and I can't do anything to betray Tianmei."
Xia Jiufa said angrily, "You're determined to make my daughter your lover. It seems you're forcing me to resort to dirty tricks against you."
Faced with Xia Jiufa's blatant threat, Ma Yunfei was somewhat terrified and pleaded, "President Xia, please believe me this once. I swear to God: I will never let Tianmei be my mistress."
Xia Jiufa suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket, pushed Ma Yunfei down onto the bed, and held the gleaming dagger to Ma Yunfei's neck.
"You brat, I came prepared. Tonight is the anniversary of your death. Remember that date."
Ma Yunfei said in horror, "President Xia, please...please calm down. Please don't kill me. I...I still have grand ambitions to realize. I...I still have a wife and daughter waiting for me at home. Also, if you kill me, Tianmei will be heartbroken. Perhaps, she will follow me in death."
Perhaps it was Ma Yunfei's last words that made Xia Jiufa realize his mistake. He slammed the dagger into the bed and said angrily, "Ma Yunfei, if it weren't for my daughter, I would have stabbed you to death."
Xia Jiufa slapped Ma Yunfei twice across the face, saying, "Remember this: if you dare to lay a finger on my daughter, I'll cut off your head. I mean what I say."
Ma Yunfei was terrified. He never expected that Xia Jiufa, a cunning and shrewd old man, would act so impulsively.
If I hadn't said some conciliatory words earlier, I might already be dead.
Ma Yunfei lay limp on the bed, feeling utterly powerless, as if all the bones in his body had been removed, leaving only a pile of flesh.
Xia Jiufa left, leaving behind the dagger stuck in the bed.
