The Outsiders 09

Greeting him was Sun Lei's fury, and even Zhang Enyu had started picking up a feather duster to hit him.

Fang Yunyi dodged while full of defiance: "Keeping the money there will only depreciate! I took it all to invest! My good buddy said there's a really profitable project! You guys don't make money yourselves, and you won't let me make money either?"

Hearing about making money, Zhang Enyu stopped Sun Lei.

"Really?"

"Really! That's my good buddy!" Fang Yunyi saw they stopped hitting him and felt somewhat proud, "I'm not a useless piece of trash like my oldest brother, I have a brain!"

Looking at his expression, Sun Lei barely suppressed his anger.

Hearing that the investment would double in just a month, the whole family waited silently. Until Fang Yunhui was released, Fang Yunyi still hadn't received the call telling him to go get his share of the money.

When he called back, the number was already out of service.

His friend had run off with his money.

Fang Yunyi was dumbfounded: "How is that possible, that was my sworn brother..."

A hard slap landed on his face, and Fang Yunyi took the full brunt of the damage. Sun Lei's eyes were red: "You prodigal son!"

Seeing her son getting beaten, Zhang Enyu had long lost the thought of protecting him. She just sat there blankly, as if she had aged decades in an instant.

The owner of the coffee shop kept thanking Fang Zhiyi. Although she didn't understand why this person was so persistent in providing them with legal aid, seeing that the family who crashed into the windows and damaged the tables and chairs hadn't even called to apologize, she was angry.

"I will definitely make sure you're satisfied. I mainly just like to help out when I see injustice, let's be friends," Fang Zhiyi said very politely.

It wasn't until the owner left that Fang Yuran suddenly spoke up: "Dad, do you have your eye on her?"

Fang Zhiyi slipped: "What kind of logic is that?"

"It's not bad, she's much prettier than Mom, the former Mom, and she speaks well too..." Fang Yuran peeked at the female owner's retreating figure.

"What are you blindly pondering all day!" Fang Zhiyi was helpless.

"But Dad, is it necessary to be so... ruthless?" Fang Yuran's voice lowered, "After all, that's Mom and my brothers..."

Fang Zhiyi looked at her: "Some people, when you get the chance, you have to crush them completely, otherwise they'll rise from the ashes."

Seeing she still wanted to say something, Fang Zhiyi quickly sent her back to work in the shop.

Watching the tall girl's retreating figure, Fang Zhiyi stroked his chin. The doubts about the plot had been mostly resolved, but the biggest doubt... he still didn't quite understand.

The Sun family could completely no longer get by. The coffee shop hired a very powerful lawyer to sue Fang Minghui and the car owner Sun Lei, and the law enforcement agency ordered them to pay compensation within a time limit. But Sun Lei really had no money, so the Sun family experienced a forced execution.

Watching his house being auctioned off and his car scrapped, Sun Lei felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

They moved back into a rental house.

Fang Yunhui still looked down on ordinary jobs, instead staying home drinking every day. Every few days, he would have a conflict with Sun Lei. Because of the slap last time, Fang Yunyi was slightly deaf in one ear and had become somewhat neurotic.

The only relatively normal ones were Fang Yunyao and Fang Nian, but Fang Nian's life wasn't easy either. Because they had no money and her parents fought, she became Zhang Enyu's punching bag. Zhang Enyu used to love her by extension, but now seeing her was like seeing dog shit.

Fang Nian also experienced the treatment Fang Yuran once had, but better than Fang Yuran was that Fang Yuran had nowhere to go back then, whereas she did.

Fang Nian ran away from home, and when she returned, she brought back a Yellow-Haired Man, her belly slightly bulging.

Sun Lei felt his vision go dark.

By now, Zhang Enyu had completely gained weight and looked like a middle-aged aunt. Looking at the pregnant Fang Nian, she spoke sarcastically, and Fang Nian, unwilling to be outdone, argued back.

Meanwhile, the rest of the family went about their own business, showing how fractured this family had become.

It wasn't until Fang Nian's Yellow-Haired Man boyfriend was scrolling through short videos that the voice from the video made everyone freeze.

"Thank you, Miss Fang Yuran, for donating 500,000 yuan in this donation event... May I ask, Miss Fang, why are you willing to donate 500,000?"

"Because my dad told me that enough money is enough, and if you have extra ability, you should help those who truly need it more."

"Is this your dad?"

"Yes. Dad, don't leave!"

"Cough cough, you almost strangled me. What for? You just need to be on camera for the interview."

"Fang Zhiyi?" Zhang Enyu turned her head.

"500,000?" Sun Lei was in disbelief.

"Dad?" Fang Yunhui blurted out.

Even Fang Nian turned in surprise to look at the phone in the Yellow-Haired Man's hand.

The Yellow-Haired Man was startled: "How about, how about I give it to you? I'll go get another one this afternoon?" He waved the new phone in his hand.

"I think you've been fooled," Fang Nian said suddenly. She didn't call her mom, but Zhang Enyu knew she was talking to her.

Looking at the glamorous Fang Yuran on screen, Zhang Enyu's eyes were filled with jealousy.

"This Fang Zhiyi, actually playing this trick!"

"He must have hidden the money back then!" Fang Yunyi shouted, then started giggling foolishly again.

Fang Yunhui glanced at him, deep in thought.

"I'm going to settle the score with him!" Zhang Enyu decided immediately. Even if they were divorced, he couldn't just ignore these kids!

The Sun family rarely united, and with their own motives, they rushed to the place on screen, a luxurious restaurant.

"Dad, they really came." Fang Yuran stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the fourth floor and glanced down. Two bald, muscular men blocked the Sun family. She had grown accustomed to Fang Zhiyi's judgment. For so long, whenever she had something she couldn't decide on and asked Fang Zhiyi, he would always give her the most perfect advice.

"So what are you going to do?" Fang Zhiyi remained as relaxed as ever, looking like a retired old man.

Fang Yuran smiled bitterly: "Dad, what can I do?"

"You have a way," Fang Zhiyi closed his eyes. "Some accounts always have to be settled clearly, keeping them bottled up inside will cause problems."

The Sun family didn't expect to be blocked outside. Just as Zhang Enyu was making a huge fuss, a slender figure walked over.

Fang Nian looked at the "sister" with a high ponytail, light makeup, and dressed elegantly, then looked down at her own clothes, a surge of jealousy welling up in her heart.

"You came out just in time! Tell your dad to come out and see me!" Zhang Enyu was overjoyed to see Fang Yuran, speaking in a commanding tone.

Fang Yuran looked at this slightly plump woman, finding it hard for a moment to connect her with the refined mother she used to be.
