Chapter 17

At seven in the evening, Ye Fei took a taxi back to the Tang family's doorstep.

He took off the Rolex from his wrist and put it back into the unremarkable watch box.

This was the latest model of Rolex, still a traditional wristwatch, but with a fingerprint sensor added. After Ye Fei set it up, only he could activate the watch hands.

He didn't wear it when he entered the house to avoid Lin Qiuling and the others from mocking him.

As he approached the door, Ye Fei still felt a sense of unreality.

A week ago, he had knelt for tens of thousands of yuan.

Today, he not only carried a Rolex worth hundreds of thousands but also helped the Tang family solve a problem.

It was truly unbelievable.

With these thoughts, Ye Fei pressed the doorbell.

Soon, Tang Ruoxue came to the door. Her eyes softened when she saw Ye Fei, and then she silently returned to the dining room.

Only then did Ye Fei notice that the entire Tang family was having dinner.

Han Jianfeng and Tang Fenghua were also there, and the coffee table was filled with gifts, clearly to apologize to Lin Qiuling.

No matter what, the fake painting incident needed to be resolved.

The five of them were eating happily. They had never had the habit of waiting for Ye Fei to eat with them and didn't think it was necessary.

Ye Fei changed his shoes, casually threw the Rolex in the foyer, and then walked into the dining room.

"Ye Fei, have you eaten yet?"

Tang SanGuo coughed and said, "Come and eat with us."

This morning, he had misunderstood Ye Fei and even hit him, feeling guilty.

"What are you calling for?

Are you full and bored?"

Lin Qiuling glared and scolded, "There are only eight dishes, and we don't even have enough to eat. Why should we let a white-eyed wolf eat?"

Tang SanGuo hesitated, "We can't finish eight dishes..."

"How can we not finish them?"

Lin Qiuling continued, "Jianfeng and Fenghua haven't eaten much yet."

Han Jianfeng laughed, "Dad, don't worry, I'll clear the table."

Tang SanGuo looked at Ye Fei with pity, "After all, we're family, and Ye Fei helped you this morning..."

"Shut up, are you trying to make me angry?"

Seeing Tang SanGuo mention the morning, Lin Qiuling became even angrier, slapped the chopsticks, and shouted, "If you don't shut up, you won't eat either."

Tang SanGuo helplessly lowered his head.

"Why are you being so nice?

He's as hard as a rock."

Lin Qiuling glared at Ye Fei and huffed, "Divorced, debt collector, he's much more capable than you. Do you think he'll starve to death?"

Han Jianfeng chimed in sarcastically, "Exactly, he ate a three million yuan ginseng fruit, he can go without food for three years."

Tang Ruoxue's face was grim, but she didn't say anything.

If she defended Ye Fei, it would only make him bear more of her mother's outburst.

If she brought up the debt collection, Ye Fei would be even more embarrassed.

Just endure it, and it will pass.

"How about it?

Did you collect the two million?"

Lin Qiuling taunted, "You were out all day, if not two million, at least two thousand shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Without a bit of backbone, you're just a freeloader..."

She held the long-handled ladle, clanging the porcelain bowl. If she didn't give Ye Fei a good lesson, how could she discipline him in the future?

Moreover, Tang SanGuo and Tang Ruoxue's morning scolding made her blame everything on Ye Fei.

Tang SanGuo tried to smooth things over, "Ye Fei was just angry last night, don't take it to heart..."

"Shut up!"

Lin Qiuling glared and then looked at Ye Fei with a cold smile, "His grand ambitions, you think it's just talk? Are you slapping his face?"

Han Jianfeng chimed in, "If he can collect money from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, I'll eat the table."

Ye Fei didn't pay attention to Lin Qiuling and Han Jianfeng's taunts.

He took out a two million yuan check and slapped it in front of Lin Qiuling.

"Slap—"

"This is the two million yuan that the Four Seas Group owes the Spring Wind Clinic."

"Slap—"

"This is the contract for the next three years with the Four Seas Group."

"Slap—"

"This is the advance payment of ten million yuan from the Four Seas Group."

Ye Fei coldly stared at Lin Qiuling, speaking word by word, "I not only collected the debt for the Tang family but also signed a ten million yuan contract."

"The favor of free meals for a year should be settled now."

Then he looked at Han Jianfeng with a cold smile, "Brother-in-law, you can eat the table now."

"What?"

Hearing Ye Fei's words, the five members of the Tang family were all shocked, looking at Ye Fei in disbelief.

Ye Fei not only collected the debt but also signed a three-year contract and even received an advance payment?

"This is impossible."

Han Jianfeng was the first to react, "The check and contract must be fake."

"There are many places in People's Park to get fake documents. You must have had someone forge them."

"How could a wimp like you collect the debt and sign a three-year contract?"

"Ye Fei, I'm telling you, forging checks and contracts is a crime, and you'll go to jail."

He picked up the check and contract, carefully examining them to find any signs of forgery.

Ye Fei laughed coldly, "You can start eating the table."

Tang Ruoxue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Ye Fei, how could you do this?"

"I told you, I would calm Mom down."

"I'll handle the debt collection properly."

"Even if Mom doesn't give me face, she won't kick you out of the house."

"But you went and made fake checks and contracts..."

Her cold eyes stared at Ye Fei, "Can't you make things easier for me?"

Clearly, she also believed that Ye Fei couldn't succeed in collecting the debt.

Ye Fei's voice was gentle, "Trust me."

Tang Ruoxue shook her head helplessly.

Although Ye Fei had changed in the past two days, she still didn't believe he could succeed in collecting the debt.

Huang Zhendong was a ruthless man.

"You've really grown."

Lin Qiuling pointed at the check and contract on the table, "Faking things to me."

"I'll give you one chance."

"If you admit your wrongdoing and kneel at the door for a night, I won't pursue it."

"Otherwise, I'll kick you out of the Tang family and make you go as far as you can."

She slapped the table, "Confess!"

A man who relies on the Tang family for a living, collecting two million yuan from Huang Zhendong, how ridiculous is that?

Tang SanGuo tried to smooth things over, "Ye Fei, confess quickly, your mom has a soft heart despite her harsh words..."

"The check and contract are real..."

Ye Fei said calmly, "What crime do I need to confess?"

"Are you so stubborn that you won't admit it until you see the coffin?"

Seeing Ye Fei refuse to admit, Han Jianfeng sneered, "I'll check the contract on the official website now. If it's fake, you'll leave the Tang family on your own."

He took out his phone and went to the Four Seas Group's official website to verify the contract.

Lin Qiuling stood up, impatiently shouting, "Why check? It's obviously fake, kick him out."

She pulled out her chair to leave.

"Ah—"

At that moment, Han Jianfeng was surprised, "How is this possible?

The contract is real!"

Lin Qiuling was stunned.

She leaned in and saw that the contract matched the official website, with the codes and amounts perfectly aligned... Tang Ruoxue and the others also gathered around, and soon they were all dumbfounded.

They never expected the contract to be real.

Then, Lin Qiuling verified the check, and it was also genuine.

"How is this possible?"

Lin Qiuling still couldn't believe it, "How could this wimp do it..."

Tang SanGuo laughed, "Not bad, not bad, Ye Fei has improved."

"Thank you, Father-in-law."

Ye Fei looked at Lin Qiuling and asked, "Mom, is the favor settled now?"

Lin Qiuling's face was grim.

Although this deal would make a lot of money, the thought that Ye Fei had accomplished it made her very uncomfortable.

It meant she had been proven wrong by this fool again.

She huffed, "I don't know what dog's luck you had to sign it..."

Ye Fei looked at Han Jianfeng and smiled, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and eat the table."

Han Jianfeng turned his head, didn't speak, and directly reneged.

Seeing her beloved Han Jianfeng being embarrassed by Ye Fei, Lin Qiuling felt very frustrated, but the check and contract were genuine.

"Brother-in-law, you're a big boss, a man of your word."

Ye Fei刺激着韩剑锋，毫不客气地说：“要不要给你倒点酱油吃桌子？”

"Enough! Ye Fei!"

Lin Qiuling slapped the chopsticks and shouted, "Small man's triumph."

"Just collecting two million and signing a contract, what's there to be so proud and arrogant about?"

"Regardless, the debt has been collected."

Ye Fei pressed further, "Can I divorce Ruoxue now?"

Lin Qiuling felt very frustrated. She didn't want to agree to the divorce, as she really didn't like this son-in-law.

But agreeing to the divorce seemed to fulfill Ye Fei's wish and made it seem like he was leaving the Tang family, which was uncomfortable.

"Ruoxue, bring your household registration book tomorrow, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced."

Ye Fei didn't push Lin Qiuling further and turned to look at Tang Ruoxue, whose expression was complex.

"Divorce?

What divorce?

Did I agree to divorce you?"

Tang Ruoxue suddenly lost her temper, threw down her chopsticks, and shouted, "Mom agreed to the divorce, but I haven't."

"If you're so capable, then get Cloud Peak Manor back, build it, and restore the Tang family's dignity."

"When I see Cloud Peak Manor, I'll divorce you."

"Otherwise, you'll have to wait for me to divorce you..."
