Dahai City, the Dongfang family estate.
A black private car slowly pulled up and parked in front of the closed gates of the estate.
Click.
Du Wanyi let out a lazy yawn as she stepped out of the back seat of the car. Stretching her arms, she glanced around the villa and muttered something to herself.
"Oh my, this place looks so grand. Why won't that stubborn old geezer at home just agree to tear down our old mansion and build a new one? What an obstinate old fossil..."
The overall power of the Dongfang family and the Du family was about the same, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have become friends. However, their living arrangements were vastly different. It wasn't a matter of prestige, but simply that the Du family's home wasn't as large as the Dongfang's.
Du Wanyi had lived in her family's old mansion since she was very young. While others lived in high-rise buildings, villas, or estates, the Du family still lived in a rotten wooden house that looked utterly devoid of class.
It was far inferior to everyone else's...
Rotten wood is just rotten wood, yet they wouldn't even let her say it, insisting it was some golden thread nanmu or ebony... In young Du Wanyi's eyes, no matter how much they bragged about it, they couldn't change the fact that their house was made of "rotten wood."
Du Wanyi had even considered burning the old mansion down so she could justifiably build a new one. When the time came, she would build the grandest house of them all!
Unfortunately, her several attempts at "accidental fires" were unsuccessful, and instead, her own backside was nearly spanked to the point of smoking. There was nothing she could do; those "broken logs" at home were far too fire-resistant. After several minutes, only a tiny bit would burn.
Furthermore, the smoke they produced was incredibly fragrant and pungent. Before the fire could even catch properly, she would be discovered by others in the household. After failing countless times, Du Wanyi temporarily put her "big house" plan on hold.
Given Du Wanyi's personality, it was only a temporary suspension; she wasn't one to give up so easily. Later on, she tried other methods to "eliminate" her family's shabby house.
Things like listing it for sale at a real estate agency, calling a moving company and telling them they could take whatever they wanted from the house, or spray-painting the word "Demolish" on the walls...
In the end, without exception, all her attempts failed.
The day it was listed at the real estate agency, the boss was nearly scared to death. He brought his clueless employees to the house to apologize, though they didn't even make it through the Du family's front door. The moving company was directly chased out, and as for spray-painting...
Seeing Du Wanyi step out of the car, the Dongfang family maids, who had been waiting on the first floor for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Du Wanyi reached out a hand, blocking them and making a "stop" gesture to the group of enthusiastic maids.
"Go about your own business, I'll just show myself around." Du Wanyi acted like a "considerate boss."
But in reality... these people were there to keep an eye on Du Wanyi, to stop her from running around and wreaking havoc in the estate. As for why this was the case, well... it most likely had something to do with the time Du Wanyi visited the Dongfang villa, saw a giant turtle in the pond, felt a karmic connection with it, hoisted it onto her shoulder, and ran off.
That turtle was something Dongfang Zhan had spent a fortune to acquire, intended to enhance the Feng Shui layout of the property.
The richer people were, the more they believed in these mystical things. Fortunately, Du Wanyi was a staunch materialist warrior. Madam Du didn't understand anything about Feng Shui; she only knew that this big turtle looked huge and would definitely be awesome to keep as a pet, so she carried it away.
If worst came to worst, using it to make soup would also be a great choice.
Super nutritious!
Ever since that incident, Dongfang Zhan had given a strict order to everyone in the household: whenever a certain crazy woman came over, everyone was to drop whatever they were doing and keep their eyes glued to her!
Thus, the current scene unfolded. The moment Du Wanyi got out of the car, she drew the gazes of everyone around her like a magnet.
Du Wanyi narrowed her eyes. "That petty old man. It was just a turtle, is this really necessary?"
"Hmph!"
Slightly displeased, Du Wanyi gave a cold snort. She stood on her tiptoes, pushed off the ground, and briefly flew into the air. As light as a swallow, she grabbed onto a stone architectural sculpture on the estate with one hand, pulled herself up with a burst of strength, and vaulted right up. Just like that, she went from the first floor to the second floor before anyone could even react.
The people below: "???"
Wait, is this allowed?!
While the newcomers were still confused and shocked, the veteran staff were already used to it. Seeing that Du Wanyi had run off, they simply lowered their heads and went back to their own business.
When Du Wanyi was in their area, it was their job to watch her. But now that she was gone, it was no longer their problem.
Here, take this "natural-born demon child," don't be polite, we're all family...
Inside the estate.
Second floor.
A maid who was wiping the windows saw Du Wanyi suddenly vault in from the balcony. Her eyes widened, looking completely dumbfounded.
When she finally reacted and was about to scream, Du Wanyi made a "shush" gesture.
"Shh, don't say a word, it's me." Du Wanyi looked sly as she gave the maid a meaningful glance, as if to say they were on the same side.
The maid: "..."
Um... Madam, I don't even know who you are...
The maid looked at Du Wanyi, at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, a butler who knew Du Wanyi was nearby. He pulled the somewhat frightened maid aside and spoke very respectfully.
"Madam Du, the master and madam are on the first floor. Please follow me..."
Du Wanyi raised an eyebrow. "What? You knew I was coming this way?"
The butler smiled and nodded. "The master ordered us beforehand, saying that you most likely wouldn't use the door..."
Du Wanyi felt a bit annoyed. What the heck, her moves had actually been predicted. Where was the fun in that?
Du Wanyi sneered. "Heh, that old geezer guessed wrong."
The butler was still wondering why his master had guessed wrong—hadn't they just caught her on the second floor?—when Du Wanyi used her actual actions to prove that Dongfang Zhan's prediction was indeed flawed...
Secret technique: Repeated side hopping!
Du Wanyi jumped straight down from the second-floor balcony, landing light as a feather without making a single sound. Then, under the shocked gazes of the maids who had just watched her leave, she kicked open the front doors of the first floor.
"Bang!"
"Old geezer, woohoo, did you miss me?!"
"Pfft!"
Inside the hall, Dongfang Zhan was holding a newspaper and sipping his tea. The next second, he heard a massive commotion at the door, followed by the voice of a certain crazy woman. The tea he had just taken into his mouth immediately sprayed out.
"Cough, cough... Don't smash my doors to pieces!" Dongfang Zhan coughed several times before looking at Du Wanyi and speaking through gritted teeth.
Du Wanyi put on a cocky expression, stuck out her pinky finger to pick her nose, and then...
"Oh." She let out a soft "oh," her face practically screaming disdain.
Dongfang Zhan: "???"
Visibly, Dongfang Zhan was turning red with anger. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, looking as if he was about to teach Du Wanyi a lesson.
"Dear, let it go."
A very pleasant female voice came from the side.
In the hall, sitting next to Dongfang Zhan was a glamorous woman, whose facial features bore an up to ninety percent resemblance to the President.
The glamorous woman was none other than the President's mother. She was a native born and raised in Dajing City, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, and her given name was a single character: Su.
Su Su!
At this moment, Su Su sat elegantly on the sofa, wearing a bright red cheongsam. Holding a cup of steaming coffee in her hand, she took a gentle sip after speaking up to stop her man.
"Hubby, don't go up there and embarrass yourself. You can't beat her anyway, and when you lose, I'll have to go through the trouble of applying ointment for you. If you promise to put the medicine on yourself, then do whatever you want..."
After saying that, she took another sip of her hot coffee, looking completely unconcerned, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Dongfang Zhan: "..."
"Come and hit me, idiot! Come on, come over here, hit me! No way, no way, don't tell me you can't even beat a weak woman like me?" Du Wanyi's wildly mocking and provocative voice echoed through the first-floor hall.
The maids and butlers who were originally cleaning and tidying up the hall slowed down their movements. They tried their best not to make a single sound, craning their necks slightly toward Du Wanyi and Dongfang Zhan, their ears seemingly perking up...
You could hear a pin drop in the room; the only sound was Du Wanyi's frantic provocations echoing in the hall.
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Zhan silently rolled down the sleeves he had just rolled up, and looked at Du Wanyi, who was still provoking him, with a cold sneer.
"Heh, do you think I'll fall for that again?" Dongfang Zhan's tone was full of the confidence and smugness of having seen through a trick.
Du Wanyi raised an eyebrow. "If you can't do it, just admit it. If you're a loser, you're a loser. What's this nonsense about falling for tricks? Hilarious. You're still just as much of a coward as you were when we were kids. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who would have thought that the dignified head of the Dongfang family..."
"Shut up, you witch!!!" Dongfang Zhan roared furiously. The muscles on his body bulged and turned red, as if he had activated some kind of blood magic, and he charged toward Du Wanyi at lightning speed.
The gossiping maids on the side were dumbfounded. They had never seen their boss look like this before... pure rage mode!
A few minutes later.
Dongfang Zhan was OUT!
His hands were tied behind his back, and his feet were bound as well. Du Wanyi had even used a belt to tie a very cute pair of "bunny ears" on his head. The hall was already empty.
The one responsible for clearing the room was naturally the President's mother, Su Su.
After closing the door, Su Su swayed her hips as she walked back to the sofa and sat down. Resting her cheek on one hand, she looked with great interest at the cute appearance of her man being tied up like a "bunny."
"Hubby, don't move. Let me take a couple of pictures to send to Zhixia." The President's mother still looked like she was enjoying the show and didn't mind making a scene, even taking out her phone to snap a few shots.
Dongfang Zhan, who was already feeling quite depressed because he had lost the fight, immediately turned red with anger and became even more agitated when he heard she was going to take photos of his defeat.
"Let me go!!!" Dongfang Zhan yelled, his face red and his neck bulging. Unfortunately, Mrs. Du's tying technique looked like it had been learned in Japan; he couldn't break free at all.
Du Wanyi, on the other hand, flashed a peace sign on the side. As the victor, she grinned widely, showing off her teeth in delight.
"Cheese!" Wiggling the two long, fair fingers making the peace sign, Du Wanyi looked at the camera and smiled.
"Click!"
"Alright, Wanyi, hurry up and let my hubby go. Otherwise, if he really gets mad later, I won't be able to coax him." After taking two photos, Su Su admired them for a good while, nodded in satisfaction, and finally put her phone away.
Du Wanyi neither agreed nor refused. Holding a small piece of iron in her hand, she flicked her finger lightly. The iron piece turned into a silver flash and flew toward Dongfang Zhan, cleanly slicing through the ropes tying his hands without a single millimeter of deviation.
After cutting the rope, the iron piece still carried a tremendous amount of force. It smashed into the ground, crumpling into a lump, and glowing red hot at the moment of impact...
Sitting on the side, Su Su narrowed her eyes as she watched this scene.
Is this woman really human?
Every generation has its own doubts, yet the doubts are the same.
The previous generation's doubt was whether Du Wanyi was human, and this generation's doubt had become Ye Cheng...
When they were young, Su Su and Dongfang Zhan had known each other for a long time. It wasn't until she came to Dahai City that she found out her man had a very close childhood sweetheart, and... her background was ridiculously good.
At the time, she thought she had been set up. As it turned out... after getting to know them, she realized that the one who had been set up wasn't her, but her man.
He had been bullied for decades, and it was literal bullying. Su Su had originally wanted to stand up for her man, but after witnessing Du Wanyi bend steel rebars with her bare hands, she completely abandoned that idea...
Her eyes instantly became clear with realization.
Sure enough, a civilized society was the best.
Su Su seriously suspected that Du Wanyi was born in the wrong era. If she had been born a hundred years earlier, she would have truly revived the glory of the old Du family and become the literal uncrowned king of Dahai City!
There was definitely something going on with the Du family's genes. Su Su originally thought that Du Wanyi alone was already defying the natural order, but it turned out that the daughter Du Wanyi gave birth to was actually a problem child...
When they were little, she had angered their daughter to tears on several occasions.
Sigh...
But at the end of the day, the relationship between the two families was still very good. The only pity was that there seemed to be no way for their generation to take their relationship a step further. Both families only had one single heir, and both were girls.
The one in their family had a proud temperament, while the other one... it wasn't even a matter of being proud anymore; she was a downright problem child...
So hard to deal with...
After casually freeing a certain old guy, Du Wanyi happily ran over to ask for the photos.
"Su Su, did you miss me? Mwah~" Du Wanyi pouted her lips, wiggled a bit, and rushed toward Su Su on the sofa with her arms wide open.
Su Su: "..."
Du Wanyi sprawled over Su Su, her eyes wide open as she stared unblinkingly at the freshly taken photos on the phone. "I want a copy of the photos too. Oh, by the way, photoshop my eyes to look a bit bigger, and smooth out my skin..."
Su Su: "..."
Not far away.
With his hands freed, Dongfang Zhan silently untied the ropes around his feet and removed the "bunny ears" strapped to his head.
At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart... if he ever raised a hand against her again, he was a dog!
For Dongfang Zhan to be able to manage the current Dongfang family so well, he naturally couldn't be a reckless brute. His large build was merely due to his past military service, and he had kept in great shape ever since he retired.
Part of the reason was the old master's demands at home, and the other part was because Dongfang Zhan wanted to improve himself too much; he wanted so badly to teach a certain crazy woman a lesson.
After returning a few years later...
One kick shattered his dream of being the Soldier King, "Commander, I'm just an ordinary person"... After retiring from the army, a highly confident Dongfang Zhan had performed a set of military martial arts, only to be kicked flying across two acres of land by Du Wanyi, ending up lying in the hospital for three days.
When Dongfang Zhan saw Du Wanyi bend a steel rebar with her bare hands, he suddenly felt at peace. The wrinkles on his cerebral cortex were gently smoothed out, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll through the Norwegian Wood. It felt so comfortable... Was he dead?
How the hell is she even human???
Dongfang Zhan's rationality and IQ plummeted whenever he encountered Du Wanyi. His mind was left with nothing but the purest desire to fight. He devolved into a reckless brute, and a reckless brute who couldn't even win at that...
Dongfang Zhan decided to find a place to sulk for a while. Just as he was about to go for a walk to clear his head and console himself... A person's life always had an inescapable mountain. Perhaps this was just his fate.
Just as Dongfang Zhan was about to go for a walk to heal his childhood trauma, the voice of that very trauma rang out from the side.
"Old man, are you going to sneak out and cry like you did when you were a kid?" Du Wanyi blinked, looking the picture of pure innocence.
Dongfang Zhan: "..."
Visibly overheating, Dongfang Zhan turned red in the face, the veins in his neck bulging as he roared, "Who's going to cry!!!"
"Whatever, cry if you want. But before you go crying like a loser, listen to what I have to say first."
Acting like a shameless rogue, Du Wanyi completely ignored whatever Dongfang Zhan had to say and just kept talking on her own, nearly making him pass out from anger.
Suppressing his fury, Dongfang Zhan gritted his teeth. "If you have something to say, spit it out!"
"Alright, alright. Since you're begging me so much, I'll reluctantly tell you." Du Wanyi waved her hand helplessly, acting as if she couldn't turn down his earnest pleas.
Dongfang Zhan: "???"
You fucking...
"It's actually no big deal. It's just that your Little Zhixia seems to have been targeted by a scheming poor boy. Our Little Hanhan was targeted too, but you know how things are with our Little Hanhan. Her situation is a bit special, so that boy didn't succeed. However, your Little Zhixia seems to..."
As they listened, both Dongfang Zhan and Su Su furrowed their brows. Meanwhile, a faint, imperceptible smile surfaced in Du Wanyi's eyes...

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
