Fang Zhiyi agreed without hesitation and indignantly expressed his full support for his sister!
This touched Fang Wenxia quite a bit.
Driven by a mind full of anger, Liu Mei headed straight to the divorce office with Fang Zhiyi with almost no hesitation. They went through the divorce procedures simply and roughly. When the staff asked about the custody of the children, Liu Mei, with a look of disgust, suggested leaving them all to Fang Zhiyi.
However, when she walked out and saw Fang Zhiyi hailing a cab to leave with an impatient eagerness, she felt she had been tricked.
When she remembered to pack her luggage, something even more infuriating happened. Fang Zhiyi had actually hired someone to change the door locks, and all her belongings had been thrown outside!
Liu Mei broke down again and hurled abuses at the door, but no one responded from inside. Instead, many onlookers gathered to watch the drama. In the end, Liu Mei had no choice but to return to her parents' home in disgrace.
But she soon felt that her own family was rejecting her too, and the reason lay with her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"She subsidized the Fang family every day; she never thought about us."
"Now she gets a divorce just like that, and comes running back to freeload off us."
"She just has a good life."
Hearing such words repeatedly, Liu Mei couldn't save face. Then, she thought of something: she owned half of Fang Zhiyi's house!
She called Fang Zhiyi. A lively atmosphere came from the other end of the line, along with Fang Ting's laughter and Fang Ning's voice telling his younger sister to slow down.
"Where are you?" Liu Mei asked, looking at the messy room she was staying in.
Fang Zhiyi replied, "I took the kids out for a trip. I haven't taken them out for so many years."
Liu Mei's heart raced. A trip? He went out to have fun right after divorcing her? Impossible!
"Your house! I own half of it. Give me the money!"
"Sure."
"Give me the money... Huh?" Liu Mei didn't expect Fang Zhiyi to agree so readily.
"I'll transfer it to your card in a bit," Fang Zhiyi said, and then hung up.
Little Hei was puzzled. "You're that easygoing?"
Fang Zhiyi laughed. "I am a law-abiding good citizen, after all." He looked at his children playing in the seawater and roared, "Here I come!"
Fang Ting shrieked and ran away, while Fang Ning, who felt this was all somewhat surreal, was splashed head-to-toe with water by Fang Zhiyi.
"I... I'm going all out!"
"Damn it, are you trying to commit patricide? You rebellious son!"
"We're fighting to the bitter end! Today, we are not father and son!"
"You little bastard, who's afraid of who?"
"Dad, if brother is a little bastard, then what are you and I..."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft."
The news of Fang Zhiyi's divorce reached the anxious Fang Zhiming's ears, and he immediately picked up his phone to contact Fang Zhiyi.
"Big brother, you got a divorce?"
"Yeah."
"Then the house..."
"What house?" Fang Zhiyi asked in confusion.
"Big brother, stop joking around. Didn't you say you would help me mortgage it?" Fang Zhiming laughed.
"Oh, oh, right, right, there was such a thing. But I can't mortgage it now; I sold the house."
"Sold... sold it?" Fang Zhiming spat out a mouthful of water. "Then the money..."
"Oh, the money. Didn't I give half of it to your former sister-in-law? You know that."
"No, big brother, you said you were going to help me."
"Yeah, but I regret it now." Fang Zhiyi smiled mischievously.
On the other end, Fang Zhiming was stunned for a long while. "Big brother, what do you mean?"
"I regret it! Can't you understand?"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Fang Zhiming stood frozen. What did this mean? Did his big brother trick him?
Not giving up, he dialed the number again.
"Hello," Fang Zhiyi's voice sounded lazy.
"Big brother, stop messing around. You took my money."
"What money?" Fang Zhiyi was puzzled.
"The money you said you were going to give to sister-in-law!" Fang Zhiming practically roared into the phone.
"Oh, oh, right, right. I gave that money to your sister-in-law. I gave it to her yesterday. What about it?"
"What about it? Fang Zhiyi, if you're not going to help me, give me my money back!"
Fang Zhiyi fell silent for a long moment before suddenly saying, "Give your money back? Do you have proof? Did I ever borrow money from you? On the contrary, you borrowed eighty thousand from me and haven't paid it back yet. Zhiming, how do you have the nerve to say such things?"
Fang Zhiming felt like he was going to cough up blood.
He stared at the hung-up phone, unable to recover his senses for a long time.
Fang Zhiyi was comfortably basking in the sun when his phone rang again.
Fang Ning said, "Dad, you are so busy now."
"It's good to be busy. The God of Wealth is here," Fang Zhiyi laughed and picked up the phone. "Lao Zhou! Long time no see!"
"Boss Fang, the job is done. I've transferred your share to you. It's forty thousand yuan. Don't think it's too little. Let's work together again next time we get a chance," a man's voice came from the other end.
"Easy to say, easy to say. How much did you guys actually rip off for this renovation?" Fang Zhiyi asked curiously.
"Oh, the quote was eighty-eight thousand. We bumped it up a bit for changing materials, a bit more for rework, and a bit more for minor fixes... all in all, it was over two hundred thousand. Hahaha, is she really your biological sister?"
Fang Zhiyi laughed, "Of course. But Boss Zhou must have heard that saying, right?"
"What saying?"
"Make half a profit off strangers, but take the grand slam from relatives! Hahahaha."
After he hung up, Fang Ning looked at Fang Zhiyi with extremely complex eyes.
"Dad, you treated them so well for so many years, was it just for today?"
Fang Zhiyi looked into his eyes and shook his head after a long while. "I treated them well for so many years, but they were never satisfied. For wolves that can never be fed enough, one should collect some interest."
Fang Ning nodded.
Meanwhile, the Original Host was going crazy at this moment. He struggled desperately. Little Hei looked at him and sighed, "You really are hopeless." It slapped him down, instantly flattening the Original Host, and then wrapped him up with its tentacles and stuffed him into its mouth. "Completely unteachable. A waste of time."
Liu Mei had rented an apartment and was just about to eagerly start her new life when, unexpectedly, her eldest brother and sister-in-law came knocking on her door.
"You guys..." Liu Mei looked at the gifts they were carrying.
"Hey, didn't you move out? Your brother and I were worried you wouldn't be used to it, so we came specifically to see you," her eldest brother said.
Her sister-in-law chimed in, "Don't blame your sister-in-law. I was just saying those things back then, but in my heart, I want the best for you! You're not mad at me, are you?"
Liu Mei looked at her sister-in-law, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart. "How could I be?"
"Not to mention, this place is pretty nice, isn't it?" Her eldest brother looked around. "Coincidentally, your nephew is about to start high school right nearby. You'll have to help look after him when the time comes."
Liu Mei patted her chest. "We're all family, what are you saying!" The moment she lowered her hand, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had done this long ago, or seen someone else do it... Uh...
Fang Zhiming was about to go crazy. His big brother had scammed him out of his money and wouldn't return it, and he couldn't find him anywhere. After asking around, he only managed to find out Liu Mei's address.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
