Chapter 140: Chapter 140, Refreshingly Delightful Experience Xu Wendong felt parched. "You know what, this is really damn exhilarating!" Just like that. Xu Wendong was driving, gripping the steering wheel, while Wu Mei was leaning over in front of him, each driving their own car, not interfering with each other. Though the dragon had not yet entered the phoenix’s nest, Xu Wendong experienced a peculiar feeling. It was truly fantastic! "Remember to call me when you miss me, okay?" After reaching the county town, Wu Mei tidied her messy hair and winked at Xu Wendong with a cheerful smile. Even though she wanted it too, she understood men well; as long as Xu Wendong felt satisfied, he would certainly think of her and would come looking for her soon. After saying goodbye to Wu Mei, Xu Wendong drove back to the Shengjing Shanshui Villa, where his sister-in-law and cousin had prepared a lavish lunch. A ten-plus-pound emperor crab, clawed lobster, palm-sized abalone, sea cucumber, pork knuckle, chicken stew with mushrooms, steamed bass, and bean sprouts symbolizing new beginnings. Xu Wenjian had used a month’s salary to buy the ingredients, just to celebrate moving into such a big villa. Besides that, he also bought two bottles of Wuliangye. "Bro, this is so sumptuous!" Seeing the table full of delicacies, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but drool. Xu Wenjian smiled, saying, "If it wasn’t sumptuous, how could it match the villa we’re living in? I only hate that my financial resources are limited; otherwise, I’d make sure you eat at this standard every meal." "Quickly wash your face and get ready to eat." "Okay." Xu Wendong went to the nearest bathroom to wash his face, then energetically arrived at the spacious dining room. The house had two dining rooms: one for Chinese meals, with a gigantic round table that could seat twenty people, and another for Western meals, with a long table that also accommodated over twenty. When the three sat down, they all felt extremely ill at ease, especially with the vast emptiness. And so, They looked at each other, finally, with a tacit understanding, each carried two dishes to the living room, placing them on the coffee table. "Previously in the dining room, it felt like we were in a big hotel, with no homely atmosphere at all; now it finally feels grounded!" Xu Wenjian laughed and sighed. Lin Yiren raised a glass of red wine, saying, "Come, come, let’s toast to our moving into a new home." "Cheers!" The three of them raised their glasses and drank, then began savoring the sumptuous and delicious dishes on the table. Compared to the warm and pleasant atmosphere of Villa 95, Villa 88 was filled with an oppressive aura; all the maids and servants felt the coldness emanating from the young lady, then quietly moved to the back garden, not daring to make a sound. Clap, clap, clap! Yan Shuangshuang, like someone insane, smashed everything she could in front of her until she collapsed exhausted on the sofa before stopping. Uncle Fu’s face was full of concern. "Miss, it’s not a big deal, don’t get so angry. Don’t make yourself sick with anger." "Xu Wendong has gone too far. I want him dead!" Yan Shuangshuang’s eyes glinted coldly, showing her undisguised intent to kill. Uncle Fu sighed helplessly, "Miss, I know you feel aggrieved, and so do I." "But Xu Wendong’s power is strong; I’m not at all his opponent!" "Even taking ten thousand steps back, even if we hired a master from the underworld to deal with him, who would resolve the trouble at South Lake?" "Although Master Zhao said the crisis at South Lake is unsolvable, based on Xu Wendong’s various actions, I can be sure he has the means to solve the crisis at South Lake." "So, he cannot die!" "If he dies, it does us no good." Yan Shuangshuang was full of irritation. "But that guy is too ambitious; he won’t help us alleviate the crisis at South Lake! If we don’t fix South Lake, the project won’t progress at all." "And if that’s the worst of it, the worst result is just the government taking back this project, losing over two billion." "But don’t forget, we’ve borrowed a billion from private loans; if the project can’t be carried out, the government’s project funds won’t be released, and by then, our group’s building will belong to others." "If it really comes to that, won’t Shengpeng Group’s hard-earned foundation be handed over to others on a silver platter?" Uncle Fu hesitated and said, "Why don’t we get someone to kidnap Xu Wendong’s relatives to force him to submit?" Yan Shuangshuang’s eyes immediately filled with disbelief. "Uncle Fu, how can you say something like that? Have you gone senile? Have you forgotten the rules of the underworld? Do you want to become the second Zhao Sihai?" Uncle Fu lowered his head in shame. In the underworld, one had to adhere to two rules. First, matters of the underworld stay within the underworld. Second, family is never harmed. But, Apart from that, he really didn’t know how to compel Xu Wendong to resolve the crisis at South Lake. "Who made my precious little one upset?" Unexpectedly, A gentle voice rang out, and a tall woman with long black hair, dressed in a cheongsam dress, stepped in. Her skin was like creamy jade, appearing to be about thirty-five or thirty-six, adorned with expensive jadeite jewelry that gave off an aura of opulent radiance. "Mom, you’re finally back!" Seeing her mother appear, Yan Shuangshuang, like a child who had been wronged, ran into her mother’s arms, crying profusely. Uncle Fu respectfully bowed. "Greetings, Chairman." Yan Liuli—Shengpeng Group’s true founder. Also the real boss behind the scenes. Only before today, she had been constantly traveling. "There, there, do not cry, you’re already such a big girl; aren’t you afraid of people laughing if they hear you?" Yan Liuli lovingly wiped away her tears and led her to sit on the sofa, gently saying, "Tell me, what exactly happened?" Yan Shuangshuang lowered her head in anxiety like a child who had done something wrong. "Mom, I... I made a mistake." Yan Liuli smiled, "You’ve made a mistake, and your mother is here to fix it for you. Isn’t that just as it should be? If you behaved yourself and never caused trouble, how would it prove your mother’s worth?" "I don’t believe there’s anything in Qingyuan that Shengpeng Group cannot handle." "Don’t be afraid, take your time and tell me what happened. Even if the sky falls, your mother will bear it for you." Hearing her mother’s words, Yan Shuangshuang felt much more at ease and then said, "Some time ago, I got news that the South City Shanty Area was going to be redeveloped and the county was going to develop South City, so I thought of grabbing this project." "By doing so, our Shengpeng Group’s prestige would definitely rise, even unifying the underground forces of Qingyuan, so I used a scheme to get rid of Zhao Sihai and then, at a high cost, acquired the project..." She briefly recounted the events and her feud with Xu Wendong, as well as their current predicament where they had no retreat. After listening, Yan Liuli’s expression changed. "May I understand this to mean that Shengpeng Group is about to go bankrupt?"
