After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1015 - 539: Trouble Out of Nowhere

"Young people should not rush into verbal arguments, nor meddle in other people's business, lest they invite trouble upon themselves."

Pan Dongliang warned Chen Feng with a sinister look on his face.

Chen Feng smiled faintly and shook his head slightly, "Don't think we don't understand the law. Whatever guarantee you signed with her parents doesn't count at all. Tenfold compensation, ha, why don't you write a hundred thousand times? Taking your fifty thousand deposit, if you can't deliver, you owe two million. Even loan sharks aren't as ruthless as you. It holds absolutely no legal authority."

Pan Dongliang squinted his eyes and sneered, "You say it lacks authority, just like that? I have all the time and resources to claim compensation from her parents and take them to court. Actually, my demands, or rather, requests are not excessive at all. As long as Miss Han is willing to write a letter of forgiveness, I'm willing to give Miss Han an additional 200,000. Miss Han, you must think it over. If you agree, that's 200,000 for your parents and 200,000 for you, totaling 400,000. Just a few hundred words, and you can get 400,000."

Pan Dongliang's tempting offer was indeed hard to resist. Especially for someone like Han Shipei, who previously only earned a few thousand as a wage worker, 400,000 was certainly a significant sum.

Even if she worked tirelessly all year round collecting from a few renters, at most it amounted to around ten thousand. Now just by writing a hundred words, she could get 400,000; it seemed so easy.

For a moment, Han Shipei indeed felt tempted, but she quickly remembered that disgraceful night, recalled the torment Pan Zhizheng and Wang Yuefeng inflicted on her mind and body. She immediately gritted her teeth, glared at Pan Dongliang, and said coldly, "I could never forgive your son, that sicko! If you really want to sue my parents, go ahead. I wish your son rots in jail and, better yet, gets executed early."

After Han Shipei said this, she abruptly stood up from her seat, then turned to Wu Mengting and said, "Let's go. There's no point in discussing further."

Han Shipei's sudden firmness took Chen Feng by surprise, giving him a slightly improved opinion. This woman was indeed principled at times.

"You are just putting your parents in a very disadvantageous position, and it won't do you any good either, why bother? You are an adult now, you shouldn't act impulsively but learn to weigh decisions and analyze rationally. Writing a forgiveness letter isn't difficult, and even if it helps my son reduce his sentence, at most it's just a few months, perhaps only one or two months. Do you have to be so stubborn?"

Pan Dongliang's words caused Han Shipei's expression to change several times, leaving her standing still. For her, whatever choice was a dilemma.

It seemed writing a forgiveness letter not only offered cash, but could also spare her parents from harassment. However, harboring a lingering anger within her, if she did this, she would never be at ease for life, never able to reconcile with it. Moreover, writing the letter meant completely selling out her soul to money, even aiding the evil, preventing justice from being truly served.

"Let's go."

Chen Feng stood up from his seat and was the first to head out; they hadn't even ordered coffee yet.

Han Shipei followed closely, gritting her teeth, also stepping forward to follow Chen Feng out.

Wu Mengting, walking last, said to the stern Pan Dongliang, "I advise you to cease early and stop making trouble; otherwise, if our boss steps in, you won't have a good outcome. Don't say I didn't warn you."

After Wu Mengting said this, without looking at Pan Dongliang's malicious expression, she quickly caught up with Chen Feng and the others.

"I'm heading back for lunch now, do you want to come back together?"

At the café doorway, Chen Feng asked Wu Mengting.

Wu Mengting glanced at Han Shipei and shook her head, "I won't go back for lunch at noon."

Chen Feng didn't care, nodded, and walked away, without any intention of comforting Han Shipei. He had already helped her a lot, even especially coming over to support her, could be counted as the best boss of the year.

So, he walked away decisively.

Wu Mengting and Han Shipei quickly proceeded to the company upstairs, where Wu Mengting continued to perform the duties of a good superior, offering a lot of comfort along the way.

She looked very favorably upon Han Shipei, planning to cultivate her as a close associate, hence her attentiveness. Of course, she also deeply sympathized with Han Shipei's ordeal this time.

After Han Shipei returned to the company with a heavy heart, Wu Mengting took her for lunch first.

Now their company already had its own cafeteria, where they hired a quite skilled chef along with two assistants to supply a free lunch to all company personnel every day. When the time is right, they may provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The meals were quite decent, balanced with meat and vegetables, two meat and three vegetable dishes, along with a large quantity of a different soup each day to be self-served.

For instance, today was pumpkin and red date soup, filled in a large bucket, looking very nice, and tasting good too.

Wu Mengting and Han Shipei each grabbed a bowl.

Seeing Director Wu Mengting eating at the cafeteria with them, the staff became somewhat reserved, and the originally lively cafeteria grew quieter.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting sighed inwardly; she expected it to be this way. By rights, as the finance director, she treated her subordinates quite amicably, but most of them remained somewhat afraid of her.

As it's inappropriate to discuss private matters in the cafeteria, after they finished eating, Wu Mengting took Han Shipei to her office to revisit the topic.

"You don't need to worry too much. As your boss said, the guarantee letter he signed with your parents holds no legal authority. Tenfold compensation, etc., is simply impossible."

Wu Mengting offered comfort again.

"Thank you for your concern, President Wu."

Han Shipei felt very touched but also helpless. Though it seemed this way, Pan Dongliang held wealth and power, making it easy for him to stir trouble or even retaliate against her and her parents.

Wu Mengting, understanding her concerns, thought for a moment and said, "You are now one of our company members, and our company will certainly back you up, so don't worry too much. However, it's crucial right now to plan ahead; best inform your parents about the situation. Otherwise, should Pan Dongliang actually sue them, your parents won't even be mentally prepared."

With a face full of helplessness, Han Shipei said, "If I tell them the truth, my mom will definitely get scared half to death; she has always been timid in nature, plus she has a heart condition."

Sympathetically, Wu Mengting sighed, "Given you decided not to reconcile with the other party, it can't be helped. You might want to inform your dad first."

Han Shipei nodded with a conflicted expression.

...

After Chen Feng and the others left, Pan Dongliang didn't immediately follow suit but gradually finished his ordered coffee; theirs was the only coffee ordered at the booth.

Once he nearly finished the coffee, Pan Dongliang leisurely took out his phone and called his assistant, who was his cousin, and definitely his loyal confidant.
