118: Mingzhe forces a transfer of ownership and seizes the property; the three men cause trouble again, only to be sabotaged by everyone else.

At nine o'clock on Sunday morning, Wu Fei had just finished packing Xiao Mi's schoolbag when the doorbell rang incessantly. She opened the door to find Su Mingzhe standing there with a suitcase, followed by Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng; all three had expressions that suggested they were up to no good.

"Wu Fei, I just got back from America, and I happened to be discussing something with Dad and Mingcheng." Su Mingzhe didn't wait for Wu Fei to move aside; he walked straight into the living room, placed his suitcase in a corner, and said, "You should transfer the ownership of this small domestic apartment to Minglan. She needs a house for her upcoming wedding. We're all one family; you can't just watch her have nowhere to live."

Wu Fei was stunned, and the schoolbag in her hand almost dropped to the floor. "Transfer it to Minglan? I paid the down payment for this house before our marriage, and I've been paying the mortgage since. It has nothing to do with Minglan!"

"How does it have nothing to do with her?" Su Daqiang leaned in, sat on the sofa, and began to play the victim. "Minglan is your sister-in-law. For such a big event as a wedding, what's wrong with you, as her sister-in-law, helping out? This house will belong to Xiao Mi in the future anyway. If you transfer it to Minglan, she will definitely remember Xiao Mi's kindness."

Su Mingcheng also joined in the commotion. "Exactly! Wu Fei, don't be so selfish! How embarrassing would it be for Minglan to get married without a house? If you transfer this house to her, I can even crash at Minglan's place when I look for a job later. It's a win-win!"

The three of them chimed in one after another, leaving Wu Fei speechless. Xiao Mi ran out of her room, saw Su Mingzhe, and hid behind Wu Fei, whispering, "Mom, I don't want to give our house to anyone else. This is our home."

"Xiao Mi is being sensible, but you aren't?" Su Mingzhe's face darkened. "I'm Xiao Mi's father; would I ever harm her? You must complete the transfer procedures today, or I'll take you to court and say you aren't fulfilling your 'family obligations'!"

Wu Fei was both angry and anxious, tears welling up in her eyes—she really hadn't expected Su Mingzhe to come and snatch the house as soon as he returned to the country, even using Xiao Mi as an excuse. In her panic, she took out her mobile phone and was the first to call Xie Hui, her voice filled with grievance: "Mr. Xie, Su Mingzhe is back and forcing me to transfer the house to Minglan. Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng are also helping him. What should I do?"

"Don't panic, Sister Wu. I'm coming over now. Don't sign anything with them; wait for me." Xie Hui's voice was as steady as a reassuring pill. He had just finished helping Zhu Li revise her audit report and had planned to take Xiao Mi to the Amusement Park in the afternoon, but he hadn't expected this to happen. "Lock the door and don't let them touch your documents. I'll be there in twenty minutes."

After hanging up, Wu Fei gritted her teeth and stuffed the property certificate into a drawer. "I will not transfer this house. Don't even think about forcing me!"

"You still dare to resist?" Su Mingcheng stood up, wanting to snatch the drawer key, but Wu Fei dodged him. "If you don't sign today, we aren't leaving!"

The three of them were making an unbearable scene in the living room. Su Daqiang sat on the floor, slapping his thighs and wailing; Su Mingzhe was rummaging through Wu Fei's documents; and Su Mingcheng was blocking the door to prevent Wu Fei from leaving. Xiao Mi was so scared she hid in her room, crying softly and calling for "Mom."

Just then, Xie Hui's voice came from the doorway: "Are you trying to steal a house or commit a kidnapping?"

He pushed open the door, carrying a briefcase, his gaze as cold as ice. Seeing Su Daqiang crying on the floor, Su Mingzhe rummaging through the drawers, and Su Mingcheng blocking the door, he understood the situation instantly. He strode over, grabbed Su Mingcheng's wrist, and gave it a gentle twist. Su Mingcheng let out a pained howl and obediently moved away from the door.

"Mr. Xie, why are you here? This is our family matter; it has nothing to do with you!" Su Mingzhe hurriedly put the documents back on the table, acting as if nothing had happened.

"A family matter?" Xie Hui placed his briefcase on the coffee table. "Forcing Wu Fei to transfer her pre-marital property and even threatening her with court—you call this a family matter? If I hadn't come, would you have snatched her property certificate too?"

He took his mobile phone out of his briefcase and clicked on a video—it was recorded earlier using Time Stop: Su Mingzhe was downstairs discussing with Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng, "Wu Fei will definitely disagree. Dad, you play the victim. Mingcheng, you help me grab the keys. I'll be responsible for persuading her to sign. Once the ownership is transferred, Minglan will definitely be grateful to us"; Su Daqiang also said, "After the transfer, I can also go stay at Minglan's house for a few days to enjoy some peace"; Su Mingcheng added, "I'm going to have Minglan help me find a job; otherwise, I won't agree."

As soon as the video played, Su Daqiang's crying stopped instantly, Su Mingzhe's face turned pale, and Su Mingcheng didn't dare to make another sound. Looking at the video, Wu Fei was so angry she was trembling all over. "Su Mingzhe, you actually conspired with them to lie to me! I worked hard to buy this house; what right do you have to make me transfer it to Minglan?"

"I... I'm also doing this for Xiao Mi's sake." Su Mingzhe still tried to defend himself, but Xie Hui pulled out a bank statement and threw it in front of him. "For Xiao Mi's sake? You have over thirty thousand US dollars in your American account, and you even bought a watch worth over twenty thousand last month. Why didn't you buy a house for Minglan yourself? Why must you snatch Wu Fei's?"

The entries "Watch Purchase: $21,000" and "Savings Balance: $35,000" on the statement were particularly glaring. Su Mingzhe's face turned a deep purple-red, and he stood there with his mouth open, unable to say a word. Su Daqiang also scrambled up from the floor and shrank into a corner of the sofa, not daring to speak anymore.

Xie Hui then looked at Su Mingcheng. "You want Minglan to help you find a job? The matter of you misappropriating five hundred thousand from Company Name hasn't been resolved yet. The Legal Department of Company Name is already preparing to sue you. Do you think Minglan would dare to help you?"

Su Mingcheng's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed onto the floor. "I... I'm already scraping money together to pay it back. Please don't sue me!"

"Now you know fear?" Xie Hui handed the property certificate to Wu Fei. "Sister Wu, this house is your pre-marital property. They have no right to make you transfer it. If anyone tries to force you again, call the police immediately."

Wu Fei took the property certificate and held it tightly to her chest, saying to Xie Hui, "Thank you, Mr. Xie. If it weren't for you, I would have definitely been deceived by them today. Xiao Mi is still crying in the room; I'll go check on her."

Xie Hui nodded, and looking at the pathetic state of the three Su Family men, his tone turned cold. "If you ever dare to cause trouble for Wu Fei, Zhu Li, or Mingyu again, I will hand over today's video and evidence to the court and let you know what it means to break the law."

Su Mingzhe gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. I won't force Wu Fei anymore." Su Mingcheng and Su Daqiang also hurriedly nodded, not daring to argue further.

Just then, Su Mingyu and Zhu Li also arrived—they had received a message from Wu Fei and, worried that something had happened to her, had specifically taken time off to come over. Seeing the state of the three Su Family men, Su Mingyu frowned. "Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, are you bothering Wu Fei again?"

"No, no, we just came by to see Xiao Mi." Su Daqiang hurriedly explained, and after speaking, he pulled Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng toward the door. "We have things to do, so we'll be going now."

Watching the three of them flee in panic, Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, Mr. Xie arrived in time; otherwise, Sister Wu would have surely been mistreated."

Wu Fei carried Xiao Mi out of the room. When Xiao Mi saw Xie Hui, she immediately rushed over and hugged his leg. "Uncle! They were bullying Mom; I was so scared!"

Xie Hui bent down to pick Xiao Mi up and stroked her head. "Don't be afraid. Uncle is here. No one will dare to bully Mom and Xiao Mi anymore. Uncle brought a small pinwheel for you to play with."

He took a colorful small pinwheel out of his inner universe. Xiao Mi took the pinwheel and finally showed a smile. Wu Fei watching this scene, her eyes were full of gratitude. "Mr. Xie, you help us every time. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Don't be so polite with me." Xie Hui took three small porcelain bottles out of his briefcase and handed them to Su Mingyu, Zhu Li, and Wu Fei respectively. "These are nine flower jade dew pills. You've all had a scare today; taking one will help calm your nerves. I'll treat you all to dinner tonight and take Xiao Mi to have the strawberry cake she loves."

Zhu Li took the porcelain bottle, her fingertips touching Xie Hui's hand, making her heart feel a surge of heat. "Thank you, Mr. Xie. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what else Su Mingcheng would have done."

Su Mingyu also said with a smile, "With you around, we don't have to fear them anymore. I don't have anything to do tonight either; I'll come along."

In the afternoon, Xie Hui took Wu Fei, Xiao Mi, Su Mingyu, and Zhu Li to the Amusement Park. Xiao Mi laughed exceptionally happily on the merry-go-round. Wu Fei sat nearby watching her, a long-absent, relaxed smile appearing on her face. Su Mingyu and Zhu Li sat on a bench, watching Xie Hui accompany Xiao Mi on the slide, occasionally chatting about work; the atmosphere was incredibly warm.

"The project is progressing very smoothly now, and General Manager Meng even said he'd give me a raise." Su Mingyu said with a smile, "This is all thanks to Mr. Xie's investment and help; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to focus on my work at all."

"Me too. The firm recently assigned an important audit project to me, and the boss even praised me for doing a good job." Zhu Li was also very happy. "If Mr. Xie hadn't helped me get rid of Su Mingcheng's harassment, I definitely wouldn't have been able to work in peace."

Wu Fei walked over and sat next to them. "I've also spoken with a lawyer. Once Su Mingzhe's divorce procedures are completed, I'll take Xiao Mi and move to a new home, far away from them."

After playing on the slide with Xiao Mi, Xie Hui walked over and handed each of them a bottle of warm juice. "I'm happy for you all to hear that. No matter what we encounter in the future, we'll face it together and never let the Su Family people affect our lives again."

In the evening, Xie Hui booked a family-friendly restaurant. Xiao Mi sat next to Xie Hui, her face covered in strawberry cake as she ate. Su Mingyu put a piece of steak on Xie Hui's plate. "It's all thanks to you today. Not only did you help Sister Wu keep her house, but you also spent the whole day playing with Xiao Mi. You should eat more of this steak."

Zhu Li served Xie Hui a bowl of soup. "This soup is for nourishing Qi and blood. You've been running around all day; you must be tired."

Wu Fei looked at the scene before her and said with a smile, "Xiao Mi told me today that she wants Uncle to be her daddy. She said Uncle is better than Daddy and will protect us."

Xie Hui looked at Xiao Mi's expectant eyes and then at the gentle gazes of the three women, his heart filled with a sense of satisfaction—the Su Family's three men's latest attempt to cause trouble had been completely dismantled, and the lives of The female protagonists were becoming smoother and smoother; this was the happiest thing. He raised his glass. "Come, let's have a toast! To our future, no longer troubled by the Su Family's annoying nonsense, and to our lives getting better and better!"

"Cheers!" The four glasses clinked together, and Xiao Mi also raised her juice cup, shouting in a milky voice, "Cheers! I want to live a good life with Uncle, Mom, and the Aunties!"

The warm yellow light spilled over the dining table, and laughter echoed in the restaurant. When it was time to leave, Xie Hui sent each of them home. When he dropped Su Mingyu off at her building, she took a small handmade wallet out of her bag, with a small character "Xie" embroidered on it. "Mr. Xie, this is for you. It's perfect for your loose change. Thank you for always protecting me and my friends."

Xie Hui took the small wallet; the fabric was soft, and he could see the effort she had put into it. "I like it very much, thank you. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be here."

Su Mingyu's face instantly turned red. She turned and walked quickly into the apartment building, taking a few steps before looking back and waving at Xie Hui. Xie Hui watched her figure and thought of the redness at the tips of Zhu Li's ears when she thanked him, and the trusting look in Wu Fei's eyes. He knew clearly—these three women, who had once been hurt by their original families and failed marriages, had now completely come to see him as their most solid reliance.

On the way home, Xie Hui touched the inner universe at his chest—inside were today's video, the bank statements, and the small gifts from The female protagonists. Each one was like a warm medal, recording his protection. He knew that the three men of the Su Family might still be unwilling to give up, but as long as he was there, no one could disrupt their lives again, and no one could make them suffer even a bit of grievance. As the night deepened, the car drove steadily under the streetlights, a smile remaining on Xie Hui's face—the all is well world's satisfying journey was still continuing, and he had already begun to look forward to seeing them completely break free from the shadow of the Su Family and live out truly free and dazzling lives.
