Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Not long after Wang Xiaohua sent that WeChat message to Wang Erhai, he recalled it.

He was afraid Liu Mei Qi would flip through Wang Erhai's phone and see it, which would spark another unnecessary quarrel.

Before long, Wang Xiaohua, Wang Zhanggen, Li Xiulan, and Liu Mei Qi all walked over to Shanhai Real Estate together.

Discovering Wang Erhai truly wasn't there, Wang Xiaohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Zhanggen, however, wore a long face.

"We'll just wait right here. I don't believe he won't come back!"

Wang Zhanggen found a chair and plopped his buttocks down.

The very picture of a grandpa lording it over everyone.

None of the company's employees dared to do anything to him.

They could only hurriedly bring tea and water, receiving them properly.

After all, this was the Boss's own father.

Offending the Boss still left a sliver of a chance to survive.

Offend the Boss's own father, and you're absolutely one hundred percent getting fired.

Additionally, they didn't dare provoke Liu Mei Qi and the others either. After all, this former employee was notorious for causing trouble. Not long ago she even came to the company and hung a banner, giving General Manager Wang a splitting headache. Who would've thought she'd now brought the Boss's father and mother over as well.

Looks like there's a good show to watch.

Everyone just needs to stock up on sunflower seeds and soda, sit back, and wait for the drama.

But time flew, and by six in the afternoon Wang Erhai still hadn't returned.

The company's employees had already started leaving one after another, off duty.

Wang Zhanggen was getting restless:

"That stinking brat, how come he still hasn't come back!"

Wang Zhanggen's face was dark; he was furious.

At this point Li Xiulan persuaded:

"Why don't we go? Don't push Erhai too hard. Give him some time and space."

"Go where?" Wang Zhanggen glared angrily and accused: "Wang Erhai acting unfilial like this now is because you spoiled him rotten!"

Li Xiulan was speechless:

"What does that have to do with me?"

She almost blurted out that Wang Erhai refusing to remarry Liu Mei Qi might not be a bad thing after all; after all, she knew exactly what kind of temperament Liu Mei Qi had.

But Liu Mei Qi was right there beside her now, so she couldn't say those words directly.

Li Xiulan then said:

"If you won't leave, I'm leaving on my own. I have to go back to Shanggou Village. The chickens, ducks, and dog at home haven't been fed all day. I have to go feed them, can't let them starve and get skinny."

Wang Zhanggen, however, kept a stiff face:

"Are those beasts more important, or is your daughter-in-law more important? I see you really can't tell priority from triviality!"

Li Xiulan huffed angrily:

"How am I the one who can't tell priority? You're the one who can't see the facts clearly!"

Watching the old couple continue like this, they might start quarreling again.

Wang Xiaohua hurried over to smooth things over:

"Alright alright, Dad, Mom, stop arguing. How about this: you two go back first. Second Sister-in-law and I will stay and wait. It's getting late; if you don't head back now, there won't be any transport back to Town."

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"If there's no transport, I'll go stay at Jianjia's place. Her parents welcome us with open arms!"

Wang Xiaohua was instantly quite speechless.

Hehe, a dry laugh:

"Jianjia and I aren't married yet. Just going to stay overnight at her family's place like this... it's a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

Liu Mei Qi said coldly:

"Since Wang Erhai left Yao Xueqin's house, he has no other residence. He'll definitely come back to the company to spend the night tonight. We'll just keep waiting here!"

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but say to Liu Mei Qi:

"Second Sister-in-law, Dad has a foundation illness. He has to take medicine on time every day. He didn't bring his medicine with him. He really can't stay here waiting with you indefinitely."

Liu Mei Qi indeed hadn't considered these things. She only focused on her own matters; why would she think about Wang Zhanggen still needing to take medicine?

But now that Wang Xiaohua had put it this way, she could only open her mouth and say:

"Dad, why don't you and Mom go back first? Xiaohua and I can wait for Wang Erhai here."

Once Liu Mei Qi spoke up, Wang Zhanggen actually listened to the advice.

"Since you've put it that way, Mei Qi, then I'll go back."

Wang Zhanggen stood up and patiently instructed:

"If Wang Erhai bullies you, you call me first thing. I'll stand up for you — come right down and give Wang Erhai a few resounding slaps!"

Liu Mei Qi hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Dad. You're really good to me!"

Wang Xiaohua watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Now his own old man and Liu Mei Qi had formed a united front, so his second brother was in for a rough time.

Wanting to get rid of Liu Mei Qi — I'm afraid it won't be that easy!

All karmic entanglements!

Wang Xiaohua said at this moment:

"Dad, Mom, I'll see you out to the Bus Stop!"

Wang Xiaohua saw Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan to the Bus Stop, watching them board the bus heading for Town.

Because the time was already a bit late, the last direct bus to Shanggou Village had already left, so now they could only take the bus to Town first, then from Town take a motorcycle back to Shanggou Village.

Li Xiulan complained to Wang Changgen about this, because transferring would cost an extra ten-plus yuan.

Wang Xiaohua had barely seen his parents off when he hurriedly called Wang Erhai.

"Second Brother, Dad and Mom have already gone back, but Liu Mei Qi is still at the Company."

Wang Erhai replied:

"Then let her wait. I'm not going back tonight, that's all. I'll get a Room outside and stay the night."

Wang Xiaohua could only smile wryly at this:

"Second Brother, hiding like this forever isn't a solution."

Yet Wang Erhai said:

"If it's not a solution then there's no solution. Unless you tell me — besides hiding from her, what other method do I have to make her stop coming to find trouble for me?"

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment, but for a time couldn't come up with any good method either.

Liu Mei Qi is essentially the same type of person as Wang Changgen.

They're both incredibly stubborn, only willing to believe what they themselves believe.

This kind of person is very hard to persuade.

Wang Erhai sighed again at this moment:

"Tomorrow Yao Xueqin will probably come to the Company for Attendance. After all, she's still a Company employee. When the time comes and Yao Xueqin and Liu Mei Qi meet again, that'll give me an even bigger headache."

Wang Erhai didn't even dare imagine that scene.

He really couldn't handle it.

He had no way to face it.

If this matter blows up into a huge scandal, that's extremely shameful — it'll become a joke for people's idle chatter.

He's the CEO of Shanhai Real Estate County Branch, a person with some social Status after all — he can't afford to lose this face.

"Second Brother, I understand your suffering." Wang Xiaohua could only comfort Wang Erhai, "But you really can't keep hiding. If you let those two women keep making a scene like this, not only will your feelings take a hit, even the business might get ruined by them!"

"Then what do you say I should do?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"You don't come back tonight. Calm down first, think about how to handle it. But tomorrow morning, you must get to your Company. Otherwise when Yao Xueqin and Liu Mei Qi start a scene, there'll be no one to control the situation at the Company — won't they stir things up until even chickens and dogs aren't at peace? Even the whole Company being smashed up is possible!"

Wang Erhai deeply agreed with this.

Wang Xiaohua wasn't exaggerating.

These two women are neither easy to deal with.

Especially Liu Mei Qi — when she does things, she completely disregards consequences.

So he said:

"Then I'll go to the Company tomorrow morning. Tonight, just let me be alone for a while."
