"Sigh..." The landlady let out a long sigh and said, "When I married Zhang Biao, all my family, relatives, and friends were against it, and now that I want a divorce, my dad feels it's a disgrace!"

"Then why don't you tell the truth?" Su Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Tell what? That I was forced to marry Zhang Biao? Or that Zhang Biao sent a pretty boy to seduce me to get evidence of my infidelity and kick me out?" As the landlady spoke, her face grew darker, clearly embarrassed to speak of such things with her personality!

Su Ming was at a loss for words and, after a long pause, finally said, "Actually, your dad cares about you; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to you upon hearing you wanted a divorce!"

"I know, but I don't want to talk about this now. Let's go get something to eat!" The landlady deliberately changed the subject.

"Alright, what do you want to eat?" Su Ming asked back.

"Let's go to the halal canteen," the landlady suggested.

"Sure, I also quite like eating beef and lamb." Su Ming smiled and then drove to a halal canteen where they ordered some favorite dishes.

After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to the Yun Fengxiu Residence holiday villa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the entrance, they ran into Zhang Biao and Zhou Li coming out with some belongings.

Zhang Biao drove a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom, using temporary plates, obviously a new car without registration.

Seeing Zhang Biao switch to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Su Ming felt uneasy. After all, Zhang Biao got rich thanks to the landlady, yet now he was using her money to play around with women and buy luxury cars!

Zhang Biao and Zhou Li also saw Su Ming and the landlady!

At this time, Su Ming still had bandages wrapped around his head, looking a bit battered; Zhou Li's expression changed upon seeing this!

She glanced again at Zhang Biao's slightly swollen face, seemingly realizing something!

The landlady's face turned stern upon seeing Zhang Biao and she said, "Do you still have the face to come here? Do you have no shame?"

"It's not about shame; I just want to get my things, right?" Zhang Biao was unperturbed, even smiling a bit.

He then glared at Su Ming and said, "Kid, it's time to repay the million you owe me!"

"Of course, I'm not someone who doesn't pay back debts," Su Ming replied calmly.

But the landlady said, "I'll repay the million he owes!"

Zhang Biao's expression immediately changed, having never imagined that Su Ming and the landlady had reached this point, repaying a million just like that!

"I never expected this, I sent this kid to seduce you and he actually won your heart!" Zhang Biao's face twisted with a grimace.

"Don't speak so harshly. Didn't you plan to have Su Ming sleep with me and then use the video to take away 50% of my shares? I'm telling you, Zhang Biao, your scheme is flawed!" The landlady enunciated each word firmly.

"Stop the nonsense; return my million first!" Zhang Biao demanded loudly.

"Zhang Biao, you must have gone to find my mom, but it's a pity I've already sent her to a safe place. You can't find her now, and you can't threaten me anymore. Quickly give me your account number, and I'll transfer the million to you right away!" Su Ming responded calmly.

Zhang Biao's face turned extremely grim; he wanted to find Su Ming's mother to threaten him, or even force her into despair!

Unfortunately, he couldn't find out where Su Ming's mother had gone, no matter what he tried.

Su Ming's hometown is in a mountainous area, his house located halfway up a secluded hill, nearly isolated from the world, so no one knew his mother returned there—not even the villagers, let alone Zhang Biao!

Of course, in such a place, water had to be fetched, and there was no electricity, which made it a bit tough, but Su Ming's mother had never been afraid of hardships.

Growing vegetables, raising pigs, chickens, and ducks in such a place, the food was healthier than in the city. Plus, the mountain air was good, making it almost known for longevity, so Su Ming wasn't worried about his mother at all.

After a few seconds, Zhang Biao gritted his teeth and provided the account number, but Su Ming said, "Return the IOU to me!"

Zhang Biao's face grew even more unpleasant, as he took out the IOU for Su Ming's one-million debt from his briefcase and handed it over.

Su Ming looked at the IOU, confirmed there were no issues, and then tore it to pieces.

Zhang Biao's expression shifted dramatically as he shouted, "You little bastard, you haven't repaid the money yet!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I will definitely pay you back." Su Ming said, then immediately transferred the million.

After receiving the money, Zhang Biao glared at Su Ming, saying, "You've got guts!"

The landlady, however, said to Zhang Biao, "Take what you have and get that wicked woman out of here!"

Zhou Li was not to be trifled with. Upon hearing the landlady call her a wicked woman, she exploded, shouting, "Which eye of yours saw I'm wicked? Are you worse than me? A woman over thirty hooking up with a driver in his twenties, aren't you embarrassed?"

At these words, the landlady's face immediately changed, her chest heaving with anger, speechless in her fury!

"Zhou Li, if you dare insult the landlady again, be careful I don't slap you!" Su Ming warned loudly!

Zhou Li screeched, "How dare a lousy driver threaten me? Do you even know your worth?"

Zhang Biao, however, said to Zhou Li, "Forget it, let's go back first!"

Obviously, Zhang Biao still had reservations about the landlady!

Because she not only had 50% of the Shen Group's shares, but also had a father who was an official, with significant influence.

"Do you not love me anymore?" Tears welled up in Zhou Li's eyes, clearly dissatisfied with Zhang Biao's current actions.

"Of course I love you. Didn't you want to buy a Hermès bag last time? I'll take you to get it right away, okay?" Zhang Biao said with a compensating smile.

"Hmph, that sounds more like it!" Zhou Li snorted coldly, glaring at Su Ming one more time before leaving reluctantly with Zhang Biao!

Once inside the car, Zhou Li still wore an unhappy expression and said, "Hubby, are you still hung up on Shen Mengxue?"

"Of course not. I just have to consider her 50% share and her father's power. If we fall out too badly, the company could collapse. If the company collapses, our wealth and glory disappear too!"

"Besides, Su Ming is there, you don't know, but that day at Xiangman Lou, Su Ming single-handedly took down all my men. If it comes to a fight, he could easily kill the both of us!"

Zhang Biao explained patiently.

"So you're saying the injury on your face was from Su Ming?" Zhou Li retorted.

Zhang Biao no longer hid it, saying, "Yes."

"But I don't believe Su Ming would dare hit me," Zhou Li said.
