Chapter 155 -155: Visit the Wife Tomorrow
Yue Jiannan listened, utterly perplexed.
“What nonsense are you spouting? My elder brother is a legitimate businessman. Who are you?”
The man got up from the ground, covered in dust.
“You don’t recognize me?”
Yue Jiannan squinted, studying him, and finally recognized something familiar in the man’s disheveled face.
“It’s you, Wang Pengfei!”
It was indeed the man who had once envied his brother for stealing his business and had come to their door.
Later, when his schemes had failed, he was also behind enlisting Ma Jinbao to destroy Yue Xiaofang’s reputation in Daye Village.
Back then, Yue Jiannan had despised him intensely.
But looking at Wang Pengfei’s current state, he had almost failed to recognize him.
“Please, ask Yue Jiandong to let me go. I’ve lost everything now; he should be satisfied, right?”
Wang Pengfei pleaded repeatedly.
Yue Jiannan frowned; he hadn’t forgotten how this man’s actions had nearly driven his sister to crash into a pillar.
“Qingqing, let’s hurry home.”
Yue Jiannan took Yue Qingqing’s hand, ignoring Wang Pengfei completely.
Wang Pengfei gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes as he focused on Yue Qingqing.
This was Yue Jiandong’s only child.
If Yue Jiandong wouldn’t give him a way out, then he’d let Yue Jiandong taste the agony of losing a heart’s piece.
However, before he could lunge and grab the child, a sharp gust of wind suddenly blew.
Sharp stones, lifted by the wind, accurately struck his head.
“Ah!” Wang Pengfei screamed, clutching the back of his skull as he knelt on the ground.
Yue Jiannan turned his head in confusion and glanced over, “What’s wrong with him?”
Yue Qingqing looked innocently, “I don’t know, maybe it’s divine retribution.”
Yue Jiannan quickly took Yue Qingqing home to avoid being affected by this man’s divine punishment.
That evening, after Yue Jiandong came back, they learned the reason.
Years ago, when Yue Jiandong guessed that Wang Pengfei had enlisted Ma Jinbao, he knew it was useless to confront him then and just kept the grievance in mind.
Over the past two years as Yue Jiandong’s business flourished, he happened to hear about a merchant duped by Wang Pengfei.
The merchant had paid a high price for goods, which Wang Pengfei had intentionally delivered at night.
Since they had cooperated seamlessly a few times before, the merchant hadn’t paid much attention.
When he went to use them the next day, he discovered the seafood had begun to smell rotten.
No one knew what trickery Wang Pengfei had used before, as they still appeared fine externally.
The restaurant owner was unwilling to be the sucker and went to the village to confront Wang Pengfei for justice.
Wang Pengfei asked the owner to produce evidence cheerily.
But with the night passed, where could the owner find such evidence? He could only swallow the bitter loss.
On the way back, he was even sacked and beaten, presumably also done by Wang Pengfei.
Although the owner didn’t cooperate with Wang Pengfei after that, he couldn’t stomach the grievance.
When Yue Jiandong learned about this vendetta, he sought out the owner, and together they set a trap for Wang Pengfei.
The owner first pretended to transfer ownership of the restaurant, managed by a distant relative.
Wang Pengfei heard the news and came to propose a cooperation with the new owner.
The relative asked for a contract, which Wang Pengfei didn’t take seriously and agreed to after a cursory glance.
When he tried the same old trick, the new owner called the police as soon as Wang Pengfei turned to leave.
The contract required compensation several times over due to the large amount of the goods involved.
Not only that, other restaurant owners, once aware of this incident, also ended their partnerships with Wang Pengfei.
Eventually, Wang Pengfei couldn’t keep his finances rolling and, faced with massive compensations, lost his fortune within days, with his followers dispersing.
It was said that some even extorted money from Wang Pengfei, threatening to expose his past deeds if he didn’t pay up.
At last, having tracked down that his misfortune was Yue Jiandong’s doing, Wang Pengfei had come to seek retribution.
After hearing the full story, the Yue family couldn’t help but sigh.
This man really brought it upon himself; no wonder he ended up like this.

Yue Jiannan said indignantly, “It’s good that I ignored him today. If he ever shows up again, he must be thrown out.”
Yue Jiandong smiled indifferently, “Don’t worry, he won’t come knocking again.”
Wang Pengfei had wronged too many in his past.
Once any of his former subordinates successfully extorted money from him, the rest would swarm him like relentless parasites.
He would be too busy dealing with them, leaving no time to trouble the Yue family. He’d probably have to flee soon.
Knowing Wang Pengfei’s fate, the family ate an extra two bowls each at dinner.
After dinner, Yue Jiannan belched and went to find Lin Chunju.
“Mom, I’m going to the city tomorrow.”
Lin Chunju asked, “Again to see your future wife?”
Yue Jiannan chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head a bit embarrassingly.
“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve seen her. I’ll sneak to her school tomorrow to surprise her.”
Lin Chunju nodded approvingly, “Sure, you’ve been supporting her for three years; it’s time to check on her.”
