"You can report me. Even if the situation is serious, I'll at most be detained for ten days to half a month, and then receive a verbal warning from the police.
But you're different. This matter might even affect your future marriage prospects. Weigh the consequences yourself."
Just as Wu Qian was about to retort, Lu Fei interrupted her, "I know, you're probably thinking of threatening me with your life.
But don't worry, you can't threaten me. You're the one who's pregnant with someone else's child and throwing a fit here.
Even if you die, it has nothing to do with me. At most, out of humanitarian reasons, I'll give you a few tens of thousands of yuan for funeral expenses..."
"You... you..." Wu Qian had never expected Lu Fei to say such heartless words. She was so enraged that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Liu Yifeng secretly gave Lu Fei a thumbs-up. The Lu Fei of today was no longer the sycophantic Lu Fei of the past, but Aixinjueluo Lu Fei. The decisive ruthlessness of a man was vividly displayed in him.
He had just been worried that Lu Fei would soften his stance because of Wu Qian's suicidal threats. Now, it seemed he had overthought it.
By saying this, Wu Qian had lost any leverage she had over him.
"Let's go, I don't want to see you anymore. Don't appear before me again," Lu Fei turned around, no longer looking at Wu Qian.
Wu Qian knew she had lost.
She no longer had the capital to control Lu Fei, and he truly had no love left for her.
Wiping away her tears forcefully, she gritted her teeth and said, "You will definitely regret this!"
With that, she left without looking back.
As she opened the courtyard gate, she saw the elderly neighbors who had left earlier peeking from behind the door, clearly eavesdropping.
Seeing Wu Qian suddenly open the door, they froze in embarrassment, unsure of what to say.
Wu Qian ignored them and walked straight out.
Seeing this, the elderly neighbors also hurried away. Unfortunately, they were hard of hearing and hadn't heard what was said, only the sounds of an argument.
However, their ability to spread rumors was still quite impressive. What Liu Yifeng didn't know was that soon, the village would be abuzz with stories about him and his brother fighting over the same woman.
In the end, the woman chose neither and left heartbroken. It was utterly absurd.
But that was a story for later. For now, Liu Yifeng was filled with admiration for Lu Fei. "You're amazing, kid. You sent her packing in just a few words. I was still worried that if she threatened to kill herself, you would compromise!"
"How could that be? In the past, I indulged her in everything because I loved her.
Now that I don't love her, I wouldn't shed a tear even if she died in front of me. It's too naive for her to still think she can threaten me with that and say I'll regret it," Lu Fei said.
"Indeed, love can make a person lose themselves. Congratulations, kid, on your new life," Liu Yifeng said, genuinely happy for Lu Fei.
Lu Fei looked at Liu Yifeng and his father somewhat awkwardly. "I shouldn't have involved you guys in this today. I've caused you trouble.
But from now on, she definitely won't bother you again."
"It's good that the matter is resolved. Be more discerning when you find a girlfriend in the future!" Liu Chunsheng advised.
Lu Fei nodded. "Indeed, I need to be more discerning. I'm only a few months younger than Yifeng, and his son is already over three years old. I'm single again now and can't handle any more drama."
"Fate cannot be rushed. You never know when it will arrive.
Wu Qian missed out on you because she made a mistake, which is her loss. A devoted person like you will surely find your own happiness!" Liu Yifeng comforted him.
Lu Fei no longer insisted on finding love; he would let nature take its course.
However, his parents sometimes put pressure on him.
The day before, as soon as he returned home, his parents asked him about his girlfriend and when he would bring her home.
When he told them he had just broken up, the old couple's mood sank.
Therefore, for his parents' sake, he had to pick up the pace.
"You're still eating, right? I won't disturb you. I'll head back now. Call me if anything comes up!" Lu Fei said, looking at the uneaten bowls of rice on the table.
Seeing him about to leave, Liu Yifeng quickly asked, "Have you eaten? Do you want to join us?"
"I've eaten, I've eaten. Goodbye!" Lu Fei said and rode off on his small donkey.
Liu Yifeng and his father continued eating. Liu Chunsheng, however, was moved to tears. "Lu Fei is such a good kid, why did he have to encounter such unfortunate circumstances? That girl is too unappreciative."
"Dad, let's put this matter behind us. Don't mention it again, especially not in front of Lu Fei. Although he seems fine, he's still a bit hurt inside."
"I understand. Your dad isn't an idiot!" Liu Chunsheng replied, then quickly ate his rice.
After finishing his meal, Liu Yifeng voluntarily washed the dishes, then lay down for another hour. At half-past two, he got in his car, ready to leave.
Seeing this, Liu Chunsheng thought he was groggy from sleep. "Yifeng, it's only two-thirty. Isn't it a bit early to pick up Tongtong?"
Liu Yifeng smiled. "Dad, I'm planning to buy some vegetable seeds. The greenhouses are almost ready, and we can hire people to sow them soon.
Some vegetable seeds need to be soaked and germinated in advance, which takes time. If I prepare them in advance, it won't cause too much delay."
"Alright, you go ahead. If there's anything you're unsure about, call me!" Liu Chunsheng instructed.
Liu Yifeng nodded. "I know, Dad. I'm leaving."
Forty minutes later, Liu Yifeng drove to the wholesale market. This place sold everything imaginable.
His vegetable greenhouses, originally thirty mu, had been expanded to sixty mu with the villagers' increased investment.
They would test the waters first, and if the results were good, they would expand further.
However, even with the current sixty mu, he would need a considerable amount of seeds.
He immediately bought several hundred jin of vegetable seeds, and even then, it might not be enough.
Besides seeds, he had many other things to buy.
Tools like hoes, gloves, and various other implements for planting vegetables, as well as daily necessities. Buying these items was a major undertaking.
He planned to find a helper on Saturday to purchase all these items together.
He also needed to start arranging for workers, as managing such large greenhouses on his own would take two months.
In addition, he needed to find a driver to help him deliver scattered goods.
The pomelos in the warehouse could also be prepared for sale, and then he could acquire Liu Xincheng's fruit.
Finally, he needed to pay for the villa so that it could be officially transferred to him.
Moreover, less than a month remained until the demolition of the Delta house, as stated by Tongtong.
