Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Wedding_1

Supporting a family is not something that can be done overnight.

Yet, to say that destroying a family—a family from Jiangnan City, at that—is all too easy for Tao Pinggui.

Tao Pinggui let out a chuckling laugh, nodded, and said, "Mister Mo, rest assured, I don’t need two hours. In one hour, I can bankrupt them!"

Saying so, he made several phone calls right in front of the Peng Family members.

Peng Ye’s father hadn’t even had time to react when his mobile phone rang. It was from the person in charge of their factory.

"Hello, Mister Peng, something’s gone terribly wrong! You must come over at once! The market supervision office just called saying there’s a problem with the quality of our products. They want to seal off our factory equipment and need our person in charge to cooperate with the investigation."

Peng Ye’s father turned pale with shock and was about to speak when another phone rang.

"Mister Peng! There’s been a huge problem! The tax office just called our office saying there’s an issue with our financial books from last year, suggesting tax evasion."

At this point, Peng Ye’s mother also took a call and urgently said to her husband, "Old Peng! What on earth is happening? Just now, over ten distributors contacted us all at once requesting to return goods, claiming there’s a problem with the quality of our products. They want to file claims according to the contract."

"And the bank says our loan procedures are not compliant. The previously promised fifty million won’t be approved."

At this moment, Peng Ye’s father was frantic. He hung up both calls; his mind was in complete disarray.

Ding-ling-ling...

The phone rang again, "Hello, may I speak with Mister Peng Xianglin, the person in charge of Jiangnan City Peng Toys Manufacturing Co., Ltd.?"

"This is Tu Cong, the legal advisor from Disney Culture Jiuzhou Office. You may call me Lawyer Tu."

"Based on reports, thirty-two of your company’s products are suspected of infringing upon twelve different cartoon characters owned by Disney Culture, seriously violating our interests."

"On behalf of Disney Culture Jiuzhou Office, I demand your company to cease production of these thirty-two products immediately and to compensate Disney Culture Jiuzhou Office with twenty million!"

First, it was the market supervision office sealing the factory, followed by the tax office calling for tax issues cooperation, then the distributors returning goods, the bank refusing loans, and finally the Disney Jiuzhou Office lawyer demanding restitution.

A series of operations left Peng Ye’s father dumbfounded. He raised his head and looked at Tao Pinggui, his eyes filled with both fury and endless terror.

The influence of Tao’s Commerce Guild was terrifying to be able to leverage so many relationships in such a short space of time, wasn’t it?

"Tao... Chairman Tao, I beg you to be merciful and spare our Peng Family!"

Peng Ye’s father prostrated himself on the ground and pleaded, "I started the Peng Family from scratch, built it with my own hands. For the Peng Family, I’ve given my blood, sweat, and tears, hardly sleeping at all. I can’t let it fall!"

Peng Ye’s mother turned pale in fright; she alone spent over thirty thousand a month just on maintaining her skin at beauty salons. Then there were the shopping sprees with her friends; she easily spent over a hundred thousand a month.

If the Peng Family went under, all her creature comforts would be lost.

Seeing the change in his parents’ demeanor, Peng Ye had a hard time himself.

Ten years ago, the Peng toy factory was but a small, unremarkable workshop. Over the years, it was his father who had worked tirelessly, step by step, to grow the factory into what it was now—a large factory spanning thirty acres with an annual output value of over sixty million.

In the span of just one night—or rather, one hour—this great enterprise that was Peng Toys Manufacturing was on the brink of bankruptcy. It was a tough pill for anyone to swallow.

He swallowed hard, gave a bitter smile, and turned to Mo Han, "Mister Mo, my parents..."

Mo Han frowned and snorted through his nose, and Tao Pinggui stepped forward, patting Peng Ye on the shoulder and said indifferently, "Xiao Peng, it’s not up to you to decide anymore."

"It’s getting late. Go to the Fokun Grand Hotel with your bride and have the wedding. All expenses for your wedding..."

Saying so, his gaze suddenly shifted to Zhan Linna. Zhan Linna, fully understanding, hurriedly said, "I’ll pay for it, I’ll pay for it!"

...

At eleven forty, the Fokun Grand Hotel in Jiangnan City was bustling with activity.

The relatives and friends invited by the Peng Family had already gathered in the Peony Hall of the banquet hall, each holding a wine glass, toasting and chatting merrily.

The groom’s parents didn’t seem to have very good expressions on their faces, and they did not respond to several relatives and friends who greeted them.

As for the attitude of Peng Ye’s parents, those people did not really mind. They even thought that the couple was just not pleased with the bride’s countryside origins. In reality, the Peng Family was already bankrupt, and Peng Xianglin and his wife were on the verge of tears, with no place to vent, especially with the presence of the significant figure Tao Pinggui.

Time ticked away, and soon it was 12:08 PM when a host with a side-parted hairstyle stepped onto the stage. With a slight smile, he lifted the microphone and spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Mr. Peng Ye’s and Miss He Xiaohui’s wedding."

"First, let us welcome the groom with a warm round of applause: Peng Ye!"

The sound of thunderous applause echoed throughout the venue as Peng Ye, who had changed into a suit, walked onto the stage holding a bouquet of flowers from the side.

The host stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Are you happy, groom?"

Remembering the events of the day, Peng Ye felt as if he was dreaming. He nodded his head and answered firmly, "Happy!"

The host asked, "Do you miss the bride?"

Peng Ye answered, "Yes!"

"Then what are we waiting for?"

With a gesture of his right hand, the host signaled the opening of the side door of the hall. There, dressed in a snow-white wedding gown and with a lovely face, the bride, He Xiaohui, stood by the doorway as if she was a goddess. Accompanied by the melodious music and two children lifting the hem of her bridal gown, she slowly walked onto the stage.

Seeing He Xiaohui, all the anxious thoughts flooding Peng Ye’s mind instantly dissipated. He took a deep breath, clutched the flowers, and quickly ran over.

Before the eyes of everyone, Peng Ye knelt on one knee, pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket, and said with emotion, "Xiao Hui, marry me! Okay?"

"Wow!"

A burst of surprise screams filled the room.

"Marry him! Marry him!"

"Kiss him! Kiss him!"

Zhan Linna, watching Peng Ye’s affectionate proposal, felt bittersweet. Peng Ye was handsome and dashing. If only he could be her husband, how wonderful that would be...

Sensing his daughter’s thoughts, Zhan Buqun frowned and said, "Linna, stop daydreaming! Didn’t you see the Peng Family has gone bankrupt? Do you want the Zhan Family to end up like them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Linna’s body shuddered, and all those thoughts vanished in an instant.

"Yes!"

In the middle of the stage, He Xiaohui shyly lowered her head. She nodded slightly, her voice faint yet firm.

The experienced host stepped onto the stage at just the right moment, took the microphone, and said, "Friends, let’s sincerely celebrate for this couple!"

"Please extend your prosperous hands and give this couple a warm round of applause! Wishing them a happy marriage and a harmonious life together!"

Once again, thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue.

He Xiaohui waited for Peng Ye to slip the wedding ring onto her finger, then quickly helped her husband up. Hand in hand, they walked to the very front of the stage.

As they walked, their gazes lingered on all of the guests.

"Sis, happy wedding day!"

Just then, an excited voice came from below the stage. He Xiaohui, recognizing the familiar voice, immediately turned her head to look.

In her line of sight, her brother He Yunke in a suit, accompanied by their father in a Sun Yat-sen suit and their mother in red, stood beside a wine table, their eyes red, clapping non-stop.
