"Fang Yuan, how can you be so shameless?" The beautiful woman flared up. She took out her phone, showed the police officer their chat history, and said, "He’s been pursuing me. Just a moment ago, he said he was determined to be my husband for life, but I can’t believe he’d sell me out for 150,000 yuan!" "We don’t care about that. Who broke the item?" the officer asked. "You clearly hit me with your bag and broke it, so how could it be my fault?" "If you hadn’t been standing right there, would I have broken anything?" "You’re just twisting things to suit yourself!" "You’re the one making baseless accusations!" Neither Fang Yuan nor the woman would admit they were the one who broke it. The more they argued, the angrier and more impulsive they became, and they soon started shoving each other, making a scene for the entire restaurant to laugh at. "Acting like we’re not even here, are you?" the officer’s face grew stern as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "Since neither of you wants to pay, you’ll have to come with us!" The sight of the handcuffs was enough to make Fang Yuan back down. He asked the officer, "Um... if you take me in, when can I get out?" "That depends on when you compensate the restaurant for their losses," the officer replied. "So if I don’t pay for a whole night, I can’t leave for a whole night?" Fang Yuan suddenly gritted his teeth. "I’ll pay right now!" The officer squinted at him. "That scared of being taken in?" Fang Yuan said gloomily, "I’m afraid if I don’t go home tonight, my wife will suspect I’ve been up to no good. Her family is incredibly powerful..." Everyone present was dumbfounded. He has a wife and he’s still fooling around out here? This guy has serious moral issues! Fang Yuan quickly took out his bank card and, with a heart full of pain, paid the owner 150,000 yuan. He then exchanged a final glare with the woman and slunk away from the restaurant. As soon as he left, a roar of laughter erupted inside. "Qian Qian, how do you know a person like that?" At the table, Su Xuan nearly spat out his food from laughing so hard. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽 "Yeah, Qian Qian, that guy is completely unreliable! How on earth did you meet him?" Su Zimo was also laughing hysterically. "He’s just one of my customers. He bought a membership card at my cinema and then just kept pestering me nonstop. I’m at my wit’s end, really," Ye Qianqian said, pouting innocently. Her expression made Su Xuan and Su Zimo burst into laughter again. An hour later, the trio finished their meal, but still feeling the night was young, they went to a nearby KTV to sing. The get-together didn’t end until one in the morning. "Su Xuan, we don’t want to go home yet. Can we stay at your mansion again?" Just as Su Xuan was about to drive Ye Qianqian and Su Zimo home, they made the request. "Not a problem at all. Let’s go!" With a wave of his hand, Su Xuan drove off toward his home with the two stunningly beautiful women. But none of them noticed a Mercedes-Benz minivan parked by the KTV entrance, with two pairs of eyes watching them until they were out of sight. "Did you see that, my daughter? Don’t be fooled by his decent appearance during the day. He’s nothing but scum!" Mrs. Bai, wife of Bai Yongnian of Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals, said to her daughter, Bai Wei, who was seated beside her. "I saw," Bai Wei, still dressed in her traditional Han-style clothing, nodded. "I can’t believe your father fell at the hands of such scum!" Madam Bai’s eyes burned with hatred. She blamed Su Xuan for Bai Yongnian’s arrest and for the investigation into Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals. "Dad was at fault, too." Bai Wei, who had once struck Su Xuan as having an unusually firm moral compass, took her mother’s hand. "Dad’s methods were improper. You could say he reaped what he sowed." "My dear daughter!" Madam Bai frowned. "That’s your father! How can you talk about him like that? Now that your father has been arrested, he might not get out for years, and Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals is definitely finished. It’s just you and me now, fending for ourselves. Don’t you feel any resentment? Don’t you want to avenge your father?" "I’m merely stating the facts," Bai Wei said, pursing her lips. "The books I’ve read taught me not to look at matters subjectively." "A waste of education! A complete waste!" Madam Bai shoved her daughter’s hand away and stared out the window with a cold expression, refusing to say another word. How she wished her daughter would help her avenge her husband, Bai Yongnian! Even if her daughter just said the words without acting on them, it would have been a great comfort. But instead, her daughter spoke such heartless words! It was enough to make a mother sick with anger. In fact, the three men who had troubled Su Xuan at the cinema today were hired by her, but they had unfortunately failed. "However," Bai Wei took her mother’s hand again, "I’ve read a book called the *Book of Rites*. There is a passage in it that says one must not live under the same sky as the murderer of one’s father." "Don’t spout literature at me!" Madam Bai snapped. "I don’t understand!" "To put it plainly..." Bai Wei said, enunciating each word, "One cannot live under the same sky as their father’s killer!" "My daughter..." Madam Bai turned and grabbed her daughter’s shoulders. "You do want to avenge your father, don’t you?" Gazing in the direction Su Xuan had driven off, Bai Wei spoke slowly. "As the ancient saying goes, ’Let things go when you can, and forgive others when possible.’ He could have reminded Dad that there was a problem with the prescription, trading his sincerity for a sliver of my father’s conscience. But he didn’t give my dad any chance at all and sent him straight to prison. He lacks mercy. A little punishment would do him good." Madam Bai hugged her daughter tightly. "Well said, well said!" "Mom, what do you plan to do next?" Bai Wei asked. Madam Bai gritted her teeth. "Just as you said. We’ll make sure he gets punished. Even if it costs every last penny our family has, I won’t hesitate!" After returning home and taking a shower, Su Xuan was lying in bed when he suddenly sneezed. But ever since his body had been enhanced, this sort of thing rarely happened. Ah, someone must be cursing my name! he thought to himself as he stared at the ceiling. His recent experiences had taught him one thing: being a tycoon was not easy. It was inevitable that he would offend people and make many enemies. But he had no choice. If he wasn’t assertive, he would be bullied. And who would be magnanimous enough to let others walk all over them? What’s the deal with that woman in red? Su Xuan’s thoughts then turned to the figure in red. It was quite strange that she had helped him at the cinema today. He had seen her near the crematorium, so she probably wasn’t related to Zhai Defeng’s curse arts. What is her story, anyway? Su Xuan remained puzzled.
