Chapter 158: Liu Beiliang Has Arrived

"Look here, my good sir, Bai Yaoyao is my wife. If you casually send someone who has been previously married to be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, just imagine the disastrous consequences if the Liu family ever finds out!" Ye Fei spoke with a deadpan earnestness, leaving Bailing quite startled.

"What did you say?"

Ye Fei repeated, "Bai Yaoyao is married to me. Didn't you know?"

Bai Lin grabbed Ye Fei by the collar and threatened, "Since ancient times, marriages are decided by the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. What kind of nonsense is it for the two of you to get married on your own? I do not approve!"

Ye Fei gripped Bai Lin's wrist and began to apply pressure. Within moments, Bai Lin was howling in agony, collapsing straight to the ground and refusing to get up.

"You... stop hitting me!"

Good grief, this prospective father-in-law had zero actual capability, yet ranked number one in trying to sabotage his own daughter!

"However, if my daughter doesn't go to the Liu family, the Bai family will go bankrupt. You can't just stand by and watch your uncle go bankrupt, can you?" Bai Lin began to play the emotional card.

Ye Fei rolled his eyes, a clever idea striking him. "Uncle, if you put it that way, it's bound to affect my future happiness with Bai Yaoyao. How about this? I'll go speak to the Liu family myself. After all, a prestigious family like theirs wouldn't want a woman who has already been married."

Bai Lin stopped weeping, suddenly sprang to his feet, and blurted out, "That's the Liu family we're talking about, the only paramount family in South China Province! Could you please not ruin Bai Yaoyao's happiness?"

Ye Fei let out a soft chuckle and squatted down beside Bai Lin. "Well said, but look here! The two of us have already consummated our marriage. What are you planning to do about that? Are you seriously intending to let the Liu family marry a woman who is no longer a virgin?"

Bai Lin let out a helpless sigh of despair, threw himself flat onto the ground once more, and let out a loud wail.

"I, Bai Lin, have truly driven the Bai family to ruin! Oh, ancestors, from this day forth, I am destined to become a nobody!"

Seeing this spectacle, Ye Fei burst into laughter. He didn't forget to send a video of the scene to Bai Yaoyao, who quickly replied, "My dad is just an incorrigible drama queen. Don't pay any attention to him."

Before stepping out the door, Ye Fei tossed him one final remark, "The Liu family won't last much longer. There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Strolling around Nancheng in South China Province, Ye Fei decided to drop by the Xue family corporation first to check on the situation, seeing as this was the decisive moment.

Just as he reached the entrance, a long convoy of luxury cars pulled up right in front of him.

A man stepped out from the lead car and announced respectfully, "Welcome, President Liu."

Liu Beiliang, huh? It was Ye Fei's first time laying eyes on this fellow. He certainly looked the part of a wealthy tycoon—a prominent beer belly, a shiny bald pate, and a pair of leather shoes polished to a mirror sheen.

"President Liu?"

Liu Beiliang glanced over and saw a young fellow who didn't look like anyone from the Xue family; in fact, his appearance and demeanor were rather reminiscent of a beggar.

"We are not discussing business today. Where are the bodyguards? Can't you see someone approaching me? What do I pay you people to do? Just stand around watching like you're at a show?"

Hearing this, the bodyguards rushed forward, forming a tight circle around Ye Fei, radiating an oppressive aura that seemed capable of crushing everything in its path.

"President Liu, are you here today to beg the Xue family for mercy?" Ye Fei asked unceremoniously. He had to stall this man first; Xue Bengui still held high regard for the great families, and if the Xue and Liu families were to join forces, it wouldn't be child's play.

"What did you say? Repeat that if you dare!"

Ye Fei spread his arms wide and pointed toward the top of the building. "What did I say? Naturally, I said you came here today to beg President Xue for mercy! Do you need me to fetch a megaphone and broadcast it to the world?"

Meanwhile, several figures standing on the upper-floor balcony were overlooking the scene. Xue Bengui and Chen Yu stood side by side, while Xue Ningning, holding onto Chen Yu's arm, murmured softly, "I have to admit, Brother Fei certainly knows how to punch people's buttons."

Chen Yu let out a light laugh. "Is this the first time you've noticed that fellow is asking for a beating? That's Ye Fei for you, the most punchable bastard alive! The very first time I laid eyes on him, I wanted to plant my fist right in his face."

Down below, Ye Fei glanced up at them out of the corner of his eye and continued his obstruction. "If you ask me, you could really lend me a megaphone, and I guarantee I'd spread the news to every single street and alley."

Hearing this, Liu Beiliang could no longer contain his temper and bellowed, "I've had it! The Xue family must have sent you out here to block me, haven't they? This kind of hospitality is something I've never witnessed in my life!"

"What are you talking about? Our hospitality gives us the right to choose the people we like and the people we dislike. Clearly, you fall into the second category! You've been in South China Province for all these years, and I've never once seen you come to pay a courtesy call. Are you planning to sell your company to our President Xue this time around?"

Xue Bengui, listening from above, heard every word clearly. What Ye Fei said struck right at the core of his thoughts.

This man had looked down on other families for years and had even attempted to scheme against his children, yet the moment things went south, he came marching in with great fanfare to seek a partnership. Such a turn of events was something Xue Bengui had never anticipated.

Realizing he couldn't afford to start a brawl right at the entrance of the Xue family corporation, Liu Beiliang spun around and stormed off, not forgetting to leave behind a parting threat, "Just you wait! I'll make sure you don't live to see the sun rise tomorrow morning."

Ye Fei shot back, "Tomorrow's going to be overcast; you wouldn't have seen the sun anyway."

He stood his ground, watching as Liu Beiliang retreated in frustration.

At that moment, the figures from upstairs walked down at a leisurely pace. Xue Bengui let out a deep, weary sigh. "This old fellow has never looked us in the eye his entire life, yet today he actually came in person."

The Liu family's influence in South China Province was thoroughly spent, and everyone was eager to take them down to vent their pent-up grievances.

"President Xue, are you feeling a bit reluctant? After all, this is a prime opportunity for cooperation," Chen Yu probed with a smile, eager to test the old man's true intentions.

Xue Bengui let out a cold snort and began tracing the history of the Liu family all the way back to their patriarch, continuing his tirade right up until two o'clock in the afternoon without stopping. Ye Fei simply couldn't endure it any longer and slipped away under the guise of an excuse.

Watching Ye Fei's retreating figure, Chen Yu muttered under his breath, "This guy actually abandoned his own sister to this. Call this a grievance session? It sounds more like a monk chanting scriptures—so boring!"

Ye Fei strolled leisurely down the avenue. All he needed to do now was wait for the Liu family's complete collapse, after which they would be swiftly relegated to a second-tier family.

The Liu family had enjoyed unbridled prosperity in South China Province for many years, and achieving what they had was largely due to the remnants of their ancestral fortune, which had yet to be entirely exhausted. However, by this current generation, their foundation was already crumbling. Ye Fei giving the God of Wealth a final push out the door was hardly overstepping.

Just as he reached the street corner, Ye Fei was suddenly grabbed by the arm and yanked around by a young woman.

"Get over here!"

Sun Yaoqi glared at him fiercely. "Where is your sister? And where is my qipao?"

On such a bright, sunny day with such beautiful scenery, why did this spoiled young miss have so much time on her hands?

"My sister went back! She went back... to Hangzhou!"

"You're lying! Your eyes darted away just now, and you're fidgeting all over—classic signs of someone telling a falsehood. Out with it! Where is your sister?"

Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat. *Well, well, this little girl is sharper than I thought!*

"What do you want with my sister anyway? If I tell you, it's going to cost you! Let's see if you can meet my terms first. Do we have a deal?"

"Fine!"
