Chapter 240 Because of Offending People
this day.
The family is sitting together having breakfast.
Meimei and Rong Qingwen's words made the two of them burst into laughter, and Xiaobao, in Pei Lanhua's arms, laughed so hard he seemed to want to talk.
A warm and happy atmosphere.
Rong Shu couldn't help but smile.
At this time.
The nanny came in and said, "Miss Rong, your phone is ringing."
When Rong Shu arrived in the living room, she took out her phone from her bag. It was a call from Song Yan. Upon answering and hearing Song Yan's words, her expression changed drastically.
"I'm going to the company right away."
Rong Shu put down her phone.
Back to the restaurant.
"Dad, Mom, there's an emergency at the company. I have to go there now. Mom, could you go with Meimei to kindergarten later?"
Seeing how anxious she was.
Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua didn't ask any further questions.
Saying goodbye to Meimei.
"Mom, please be careful on the road."
Rong Shu nodded and kissed Mei Mei on the forehead before driving away from the villa.
Just as she drove away from the gate of the villa area, a middle-aged man in a white sedan parked across the road squinted and stared at her intently through the glass window.
After Rong Shu drove away.
The man pushed open the door and got out of the car.
He walked towards the security guard at the entrance and asked, "Excuse me, is there a homeowner named Rong Qingwen living here?"
The security guard looked at the man warily and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm his friend."
The security guard said, "You need to call Mr. Rong to verify your identity before you can enter."
The man quickly replied, "Oh, okay, okay."
That's all.
He turned around and went straight back to his car. He then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Noticing that the security guard was looking in his direction, he picked up his phone and pretended to make a call.
Then they continued to sit in the car and wait.
A dozen minutes later.
The security guard saw that he was still standing there and was about to go over and ask him something when a car drove up. The guard saluted and then gently knocked on the rear window.
The man was carefully looking at the doorway. It was a bit far away, but he could vaguely see the person in the back seat. When the person in the back looked in his direction, he recognized her at a glance.
Du Zheng drove away.
The man started the accelerator and followed closely behind.
"Madam, that car behind us is following us."
Pei Lanhua glanced back and frowned. The security guard had just told her that someone claimed to be Rong Qingwen's friend and asked her to make a phone call, but he had remained seated in the car without moving.
Even from that distance, Pei Lanhua didn't recognize who it was.
Meimei looked at Pei Lanhua and asked, "Grandma Pei, are there any bad people?"
Pei Lanhua held Meimei's small hand and said, "Meimei, don't worry."
"Madam, I can shake him off."
"Okay, let's take Meimei to kindergarten first."
Du Zheng easily shook off the car following behind him.
Pei Lanhua dropped Meimei off at kindergarten. She turned and walked towards the car, and as she opened the door to get in, she heard someone call her, "Lanhua, it really is you!"
Pei Lanhua froze as she pulled the car door shut. She turned her head sharply and saw the middle-aged man. He was thin, with prominent facial features, sunken brows, and a fierce look in his cloudy eyes.
Even though so many years have passed, she will never forget that face until her death.
Huang Dongcheng.
her ex-husband.
He was the one who had been following them.
Watching Huang Dongcheng walk in.
Du Zheng got out of the car, put his hand in front of him, and said in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Huang Dongcheng grinned, looked at Pei Lanhua, and said, "Lanhua, it's true that becoming a rich lady really changes your demeanor. You're even more beautiful now than when you were young. I almost didn't recognize you."
Pei Lanhua ignored him and opened the car door to get in.
Huang Dongcheng suddenly said, "It's been more than ten years since we last met. I wanted to chat with you. I heard that Xiao Yu is now very successful and has even started his own company. That's really amazing. I never expected my son to be so accomplished."
His tone was filled with excitement and greed.
Pei Lanhua abruptly stopped, turned around and stared at him, asking, "How exactly did you find me?"
Huang Dongcheng lost all his family fortune and incurred huge debts through gambling. During this time, he fought with debt collectors and seriously injured one of them, for which he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison.
She divorced him while he was in prison, but the condition for the divorce was that she would pay off his debt of 200,000 yuan.
Two hundred thousand was an astronomical figure for her back then.
But she still agreed. She went to Beijing to work, to pay off Huang Dongcheng's debts and earn money for Pei Yu's tuition.
Besides running a small business, she also cooked for people at the construction site, which happened to belong to Rong Qingwen's company. Rong Qingwen praised her cooking skills after eating her food.
At that time, Rong Qingwen had just divorced his wife and was very depressed. Because of the departure of his mother and brother, Rong Shu also began to lose her appetite.
Rong Qingwen then hired her to cook for Rong Shu at his home.
She stayed with the Rong family.
My son was admitted to a university in Beijing with a full scholarship.
She thought she would never have anything to do with this man again in her life.
Huang Dongcheng smiled amiably, "We've been husband and wife, so I just wanted to know how your son is doing. Oh my, I never imagined you, Lanhua, would become a wealthy wife."
How could Pei Lanhua not sense the man's ill intentions? She turned cold and said, "Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush with me."
Huang Dongcheng's smile faded slightly as he said, "I've been busy with business lately and I'm a little short on cash. I was thinking of borrowing some from you, just thirty million."
Pei Lanhua frowned. "Did you lose your mind from being in prison? You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"Why are you saying such harsh things? We were husband and wife for a time, after all. I know the villa you live in now is worth tens of millions. Thirty million is nothing to you!"
"You're dreaming."
Pei Lanhua didn't waste any more words with him, opened the car door and got in.
Du Zheng got into the car and drove away.
Huang Dongcheng watched the car leave without any hurry. Now that his son and ex-wife were successful, how could they abandon him as their father?
Pei Lanhua sat in the car, feeling uneasy.
Huang Dongcheng's sudden appearance at their door, and the fact that he knew where they lived, suggests that this matter is definitely not that simple.
At this time.
Her phone vibrated; it was her younger brother calling. "Pei Jun, what's up?"
Upon hearing Pei Jun's words, Pei Lanhua's expression changed.
Pei Jun now runs a truck company in his hometown county. He had originally received many large orders and projects, but these people suddenly canceled their cooperation with him. With the end of the year approaching, the loss is a considerable amount.
They didn't know what happened either. They asked a long-time client, who said they had offended someone, but they were just doing business honestly and hadn't offended anyone.
Having no other choice, I called Pei Lanhua to see if Pei Yu could use his connections to help.
First Huang Dongcheng came knocking, and now Pei Jun's company is suddenly in trouble, all because he offended someone.
What a coincidence.
There was nothing Pei Lanhua didn't understand.
