107: Mingcheng blocked the door to vent his personal anger, but irrefutable evidence exposed his true colors.

The cold wind in the underground garage of Zhongcheng Group swirled with dust, brushing against Su Mingyu's face. She had just finished a project meeting with General Manager Meng, clutching a newly signed supplier contract in her hand, her steps light — with Xie Hui's investment as a safety net, the new energy project was progressing faster than expected. General Manager Meng had even patted her shoulder just now, saying, "I'll give you a raise at the end of the year." This feeling of being recognized was much more solid than when she used to fight alone.

Just as she reached her car, a dark figure suddenly darted out from behind a pillar. A hand reeking of alcohol grabbed her arm, its force so great it almost crushed her bones. "Su Mingyu! You jinx!" Mingcheng's voice was hoarse and fierce, his eyes as red as if they were about to drip blood. His shirt was wrinkled and stained with oil. "If it weren't for you teaming up with that outsider Xie Hui, why would Zhu Li divorce me? How could I not even find a job? You must give me an explanation today!"

Su Mingyu was in pain from the grip and tried hard to shake him off: "Su Mingcheng! Let go of me! Zhu Li divorced you because you embezzled company funds and were full of lies; it has nothing to do with me!"

"Nothing to do with you?" Mingcheng pushed her against the car, the cold metal making Su Mingyu's back feel numb. "Don't act innocent! That Xie Hui is just a lackey you found! Why would he help you? You two must have hooked up long ago! Today, I'm going to make you realize the consequences of provoking me, Su Mingcheng!"

As he spoke, his other hand was about to swing at Su Mingyu's face — the anger from being blacklisted by Zhu Li, hitting a wall while looking for a job, and even Su Daqiang being too lazy to deal with him, was all being vented on Su Mingyu. There was no sense of sibling affection in his eyes.

"Try touching her and see what happens?"

Xie Hui's voice sounded like it was quenched in ice, coming from the garage entrance. He had just gone nearby for business and received a message from Su Mingyu's assistant saying "Mingcheng is loitering in the garage," so he rushed back, just in time to witness this scene. He dashed over, grabbing Mingcheng's swinging wrist with his right hand, protecting Su Mingyu's back with his left, and gently pulling her behind him.

"It's you, that outsider, again!" Mingcheng struggled to break free, only to find that Xie Hui's hand was like iron pincers, impossible to shake off. "My business with my sister is none of your concern!"

"Are you even worthy of calling her your sister?" Xie Hui applied a bit of pressure, and Mingcheng grimaced in pain, sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead. "When you were a parasite living off your parents, why didn't you remember she was your sister? When you embezzled fifty thousand from Company Name, why didn't you remember? Now that you've lost Zhu Li and your job, you come to bully her. What kind of man are you?"

As he spoke, he pulled a blue ledger from his briefcase — this was something he had found in the attic of the Su Family Old Residence earlier using "Time Stop." It recorded every detail of Mingcheng asking Deceased Mother for money from university until after he started working, from clothes worth a few hundred yuan to a down payment for a car worth tens of thousands. It was packed with over a dozen pages, and the last page even said, "Mom said Mingyu's salary is high, so ask her for more in the future."

"See for yourself!" Xie Hui threw the ledger at Mingcheng's face, the papers scattering everywhere. "When your mother was alive, you leeched over fifty thousand a year. Now that she's gone, you come to rob your sister? And this," he took out his mobile phone and played a recording. It was a conversation between Mingcheng and his childhood friend Li Wei: "I'm not returning that fifty thousand. If Mingyu dares to force me, I'll go to her company and make a scene..."

The voice in the recording was clear and piercing. Mingcheng's face instantly turned from red to white, then to green. Looking at the scattered ledger pages and the Company Name employees gradually gathering around, he wished he could crawl into a hole. "I... I borrowed that! It's not leeching! The recording is fake!" He was still being stubborn, but his voice was already shaking uncontrollably.

"Borrowed?" Xie Hui sneered, took out his mobile phone, dialed the Company Name Legal Department, and pressed the speakerphone: "Lawyer Zhang, regarding the fifty thousand Mingcheng embezzled earlier, not only has he not returned it, but he also threatened Director Su. When do you plan to file a lawsuit? I have new evidence here, including a ledger of his leeching and the threatening recording."

Lawyer Zhang on the other end of the phone immediately said, "Mr. Xie, we will organize the Materials and submit them to the court tomorrow! This kind of malicious default and threatening behavior must be prosecuted to the end!"

Mingcheng heard "lawsuit" and "court," and his legs suddenly went weak. He could no longer hold himself up and slumped onto the ground, frantically trying to pick up the ledger pages: "Don't sue! I'll pay it back! I'll pay it back right now! Mingyu, I was wrong. Please talk to the Legal Department for me, don't sue me..."

Su Mingyu looked at his pathetic state with no sympathy at all, only complete disappointment: "Su Mingcheng, you never know what you've done wrong. Before, our parents spoiled you, but now no one will. You should be responsible for your own actions."

Xie Hui helped Su Mingyu pick up the contract from the ground and said to the surrounding employees, "Everyone, please disperse. Company Name's legal team will handle this." Then he supported Su Mingyu as they walked out of the garage, leaving Mingcheng slumped on the spot like a stray dog.

Outside the garage, Su Mingyu looked at Xie Hui's profile, her eyes a bit red: "Mr. Xie, you help me out every time. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how to deal with him."

"Don't be so polite with me." Xie Hui took out a bottle of warm soy milk from his inner universe and handed it to her. "You were just startled; drink something hot to warm up. I've already told General Manager Meng that from now on, Company Name's garage will have extra security to keep Mingcheng out."

Su Mingyu took the soy milk, the warm sensation traveling from her fingertips to her heart. The previous grievances seemed to be washed away by this cup of soy milk. She took small sips, stealing a glance at Xie Hui — he was always like this, not only helping her solve troubles but also thinking of these tiny details, making her feel especially safe.

Just as they reached the entrance of Company Name, Xie Hui's mobile phone rang. It was Wu Fei calling, her voice panicked: "Mr. Xie, Su Mingzhe... he secretly contacted an agent, wanting to sell our small house in the country without letting me know! I just saw the message he sent to the agent, saying 'Close the deal as soon as possible, don't let Wu Fei find out.' What should I do?"

"Don't panic, Sister Wu." Xie Hui's voice immediately became steady. "Don't alert him for now. I'll head over right away. We'll find the agent together and freeze the transaction first. I checked for you before; that house is joint marital property. He can't sell it alone."

After hanging up, Xie Hui said to Su Mingyu, "I'll take you home first, then go over to Sister Wu's. Su Mingzhe is trying to transfer assets."

"I'll go with you!" Su Mingyu said immediately, "Su Mingzhe has gone too far, actually trying to sell the house secretly. We can't let him succeed."

Xie Hui nodded and drove Su Mingyu toward Wu Fei's home. On the way, Su Mingyu leaned against the passenger seat, looking at the street scenery passing by outside, her heart full of emotion — in the past, when it came to Su Family matters, she either avoided them or had to endure them alone. Now with Xie Hui around, along with Zhu Li and Wu Fei, she no longer had to be lonely.

At the bottom of Wu Fei's building, Wu Fei was already waiting at the door, clutching her mobile phone. On the screen was the chat history between Su Mingzhe and the agent. "You're here!" Wu Fei hurried to meet them. "I just called the agent, and they said Su Mingzhe already brought someone to see the house, saying 'I'm the sole owner.' It's so infuriating!"

"Don't be angry, let's go to the agency now." Xie Hui took Wu Fei's mobile phone and saved screenshots of the chat history. "The property deed for that house has both your and Su Mingzhe's names. He can't sign a contract alone. If the agent dares to operate against regulations, we'll sue the agent as well."

When the three arrived at the agency, Su Mingzhe was signing a Sales Entrustment Agreement with the agent. Seeing Xie Hui, Wu Fei, and Su Mingyu, his face instantly turned pale: "You... why are you here? This is a family matter between Wu Fei and me; it has nothing to do with you!"

"A family matter?" Xie Hui slapped the chat history screenshots on the table. "You told the agent 'don't let Wu Fei find out,' and you call that a family matter? Also, this house is joint marital property. You've entrusted it for sale without Wu Fei's consent, which is already illegal. If the agent dares to take this, it's a violation of regulations."

Seeing the screenshots, the agent quickly put away the agreement and said with a forced smile, "Sir, I'm sorry, we didn't know this was joint property. We can't take this order."

Su Mingzhe got anxious and tried to grab the agreement: "How can you not take it? We've already discussed everything!"

"Su Mingzhe, stop making a scene!" Wu Fei's voice was trembling but firm. "Half of this house belongs to me. You want to secretly sell it and transfer the assets? No way! I've already spoken to a lawyer; we will apply for property preservation next. You won't be able to transfer a single cent!"

Looking at Wu Fei's resolute eyes and then at the evidence in Xie Hui's hand, Su Mingzhe knew he had failed again. He sat down dejectedly in the chair, no longer having his previous arrogance.

After leaving the agency, Wu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xie Hui and Su Mingyu, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how long he would have deceived me."

"No need for thanks, we're all friends." Mingyu said with a smile, "If Su Mingzhe plays any more tricks in the future, we'll deal with him together."

At that moment, a WeChat message from Zhu Li arrived, along with a screenshot — it was a page showing she had blacklisted all of Mingcheng's contact information, with a caption: "A complete goodbye to the past! I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight to celebrate!"

Xie Hui showed the screenshot to Wu Fei and Su Mingyu, and all three laughed. In the evening, Zhu Li chose a Parent-child Restaurant. When Xiao Mi saw Xie Hui, she immediately rushed over and hugged his leg: "Uncle! I drew a picture of the four of us at kindergarten today. The teacher said it was the best!"

Xie Hui bent down and picked up Xiao Mi, saying with a smile, "Really? Quickly show it to me!"

During dinner, Zhu Li said excitedly, "I talked with General Manager Li today. I'll be promoted to department supervisor next month. I won't have to look at others' faces anymore!"

"Congratulations!" Su Mingyu raised her glass of juice. "My project is also going smoothly. General Manager Meng said he'd give me a raise at the end of the year."

Wu Fei also said with a smile, "The lawyer said the property preservation application has been approved. Su Mingzhe can no longer transfer assets. Once the divorce procedures are finished, I can live a stable life with Xiao Mi."

Looking at the smiles on the three women's faces, Xie Hui felt a surge of satisfaction — the su family men's antics were slapped in the face time and again, and The female protagonists' lives were getting better and better. This was the result he wanted. He raised his glass: "Come, let's toast! I wish us all smooth sailing from now on, no longer bothered by those wretched Su Family matters!"

"Cheers!" The four glasses clinked together. Xiao Mi's laughter was crisp, and the warm yellow light fell on everyone's faces, full of warmth.

When the party ended, Xie Hui drove them home separately. When he dropped Su Mingyu off at her building, she took a hand-sewn Key Pouch from her bag, with a small "Xie" character embroidered on it: "Mr. Xie, I sewed this over the weekend. Don't look down on it; it'll be perfect for your car keys."

Xie Hui took the Key Pouch. The fabric was soft and carried a faint fragrance: "I like it very much, thank you."

Su Mingyu's face turned red instantly. She turned and walked quickly into the apartment building, took a few steps, then turned back and waved at Xie Hui. Xie Hui looked at her back, knowing clearly that their dependence and affection for him were deepening bit by bit.

On the way home, Xie Hui touched the inner universe in his chest — inside were Mingcheng's leeching ledger, the screenshots of Su Mingzhe's chat history, and the small gifts from The female protagonists. These were all proof of his protection over them. He knew the su family men would certainly not be reconciled, but as long as he was there, he wouldn't let them be wronged again.

As the night deepened, the car drove steadily under the streetlights. Xie Hui's mouth was always wearing a smile — the journey of satisfaction in the all is well world was still continuing. He looked forward to the next time he would slap the su family men's faces, and even more to seeing The female protagonists completely break free from the shadows and bloom with even more brilliant smiles.
