Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 56 I'm going to smash your mouth in.
Police station
The midday sun was blazing, and the sweltering heat made already angry people even more irritable.

Before Ming Weiyi, Pei Ming, and Du Lian could even reach the door, she could already hear the commotion of middle-aged women coming from inside.

“My son was assaulted on a blind date, and you still say you hope our family can reconcile? Aren’t you police negligent? Let me tell you, I know people in your provincial public security bureau!”

The middle-aged woman's arrogant and domineering demeanor made the three people who came in with her frown. No wonder her son was a submissive man; it turned out he had a mother who was corrupt from the start.

"Do you know anyone from the Provincial Public Security Bureau? Should I go and invite him over to back you up?" Ming Weiyi crossed her arms, looking sarcastic.

In Ming Weiyi's view, the middle-aged woman maintained a good figure. She was wearing a white silk dress embroidered with lotus flowers, carrying a limited edition bag, and wearing high heels that even Ming Weiyi, at her age, would not normally wear.

The middle-aged woman turned her head and glared at Ming Weiyi, "And who are you?"

Before Ming Weiyi could answer, Pei Ming stepped in front of her and shielded her behind him. He coldly said to the middle-aged woman, "We are Tang Ying's friends, here to help Tang Ying resolve today's matter."

"You've come at the perfect time! You deserve an explanation today!"

Ming Wei also took a small step to stand next to Pei Ming. She looked at the middle-aged woman with a righteous expression and said, "What's your explanation? Your son harassed and made personal attacks on my friend. What kind of explanation does your family have?"

"You little brat, you're really rude! What do you mean by harassment? It's your friend's good fortune that my son is interested in her!" The middle-aged woman didn't think there was anything wrong with her son going to Tang Ying; she even thought Tang Ying was ungrateful.

"Your son's face is as rugged as a mountain road, even ants would stumble over it. And his size makes you think he's a washing machine standing there. Is this a blessing for National Geographic or for appliance repair?"

If it weren't for the serious occasion and location, Mingwei would have made Pei Ming and Du Lian burst out laughing at what the man below her said. They could only suppress their laughter and maintain a serious expression.

Ming Weiyi, acting all high and mighty, launched into a tirade against the middle-aged woman, which infuriated the woman. She reflexively wanted to rush in front of Ming Weiyi and teach her a lesson.

However, this was a police station, and the two officers next to the middle-aged woman quickly pulled the angry woman away.

Even as two police officers were pulling her away, the middle-aged woman still pointed at Ming Weiyi and roared angrily:
"You little brat, do you even know how to talk?! Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?! No one in Jiangcheng has ever dared to talk about my son like that in front of me!"

Mingwei calmly walked up to the woman. "Oh, now you know how to get angry? You want to hit someone? If these two policemen hadn't held you back, would you have slapped me in the face too?"

The middle-aged woman continued to shout angrily, "If you slap me again, I'll smash your mouth shut!"

"You can smash my mouth if you want, but Tang Ying slapping your son isn't allowed, right? Both are personal attacks, so I deserve to be hit, but your son doesn't?"

Ming Wei's words stunned the middle-aged woman. She then realized that the little girl in front of her had just been trying to provoke her.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Ming walked up to the middle-aged woman and said, "Tang Ying will absolutely not apologize for what happened today. If your family wants to take legal action, we will fight to the end. I will hire the best lawyer for Tang Ying. You can wait to receive a lawyer's letter."

"What a joke! Our Pengyi Group has been in Jiangcheng for so many years, what lawsuits haven't we been involved in? Just wait for Tang Ying to be detained and then fired from her job!" The middle-aged woman spoke with disdain, and she seemed to have a sure-fire attitude.

Pei Ming turned and gave Du Lian a look, and deliberately added, "Did you hear that? Go find out what kind of company Pengyi Group is." Having received Pei Ming's instruction, Du Lian turned and left the police station.

The middle-aged woman erupted again, "And what kind of trash are you! Believe me or not, I'll sue you too!"

"Auntie, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Pei Ming, from the nationally renowned Pei Group, and also the CEO of my Ming Group."

Ming Wei deliberately took Pei Ming's arm, and when introducing Pei Ming, she deliberately made herself look quite proud.

Pei Group, Ming Group? Could this young couple be the Pei family heir and the Ming family's eldest daughter, the couple whose marriage was the talk of the town in Jiangcheng a while ago?

"If you want the company to go bankrupt, feel free to sue me." Pei Ming's expression remained blank, but his tone carried a ruthless edge.

This question left the middle-aged woman speechless, because she knew that the Ming Group alone was already a burden for her family, let alone the even wealthier and more powerful Pei Group.

"It's all a misunderstanding today, a misunderstanding..." The middle-aged woman changed her arrogant demeanor from before, and even looked at Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming with a smile.

"Misunderstanding?" Pei Ming raised an eyebrow. He knew that the middle-aged woman in front of him wouldn't be crazy enough to disregard the company's interests.

“Our family has business dealings with the Ming Group, and your father and I have even discussed cooperation. I think we shouldn’t trouble the police officers any further; let’s just let this matter go today.” After saying this, the middle-aged woman grabbed Ming Weiyi’s hand, trying to get closer to her.

Ming Wei gave a forced smile as she pulled her hand away from the middle-aged woman's. She had brought Pei Ming here specifically for this reason, not just to say "let it go."

"Letting it go won't do. The whole thing started because your son went to Tang Ying's workplace and harassed her. He must apologize to Tang Ying in front of the police officers and promise never to appear in front of her again."

"But my son was definitely beaten..."

Before the middle-aged woman could finish her excuses, Pei Ming said calmly, "Then let's go through legal procedures. Let my lawyer talk to your son."

"It's too formal to hire a lawyer. We'll be seeing each other all the time in Jiangcheng." The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly, trying to appeal to personal relationships again.

Mingwei smiled, but it was the kind of smile that said, "Auntie, you don't know, do you? My husband is from City C. Of course, I'm going to go back to City C with him after I married him."

The middle-aged woman understood Ming Weiyi's subtext: she wouldn't run into her all the time in Jiangcheng, and she wouldn't care about any business relationships.

"In short, your son apologizes, and this matter ends here." Pei Ming was too lazy to waste any more words; he wasn't going to waste his time on this kind of person.

Seeing that the two men were very firm in their stance, and that her family was indeed no match for the Pei and Ming families, the middle-aged woman had no choice but to agree to Ming Weiyi's demands.
