"It's true," Fang Zhiyi said slowly. "I know you've done business before, and you're just missing an opportunity. I've found a job for you: attracting investment at our company's building materials market. It's quite lucrative. Would you like to take it?"
When Wu Tian heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Of course I will! Brother, you are really my benefactor!" He did run a small building materials store before, but it went bankrupt because of gambling. He had been complaining for years that he had no chance to make a comeback, but now when he heard about such a lucrative job, he couldn't wait to take the position.
After a few drinks, Wu Tian started to talk more and began to complain, "Brother, you don't know how hard it is for me! Ever since I lost my money, Fang Jing and that bitch look at me strangely and quarrel with me every day. Those two little bastards also think I have nothing to worry about and don't get close to me. Those people outside even laugh at me for being a gigolo... When have I, Wu Tian, ever suffered such injustice?"
Fang Zhiyi echoed his words, "I know you're feeling wronged. A while ago, I gave Jingjing 5,000 yuan, asking her to give you pocket money so you could look presentable when you went out for social events. Didn't she give it to you?"
Wu Tian slammed the table, his face flushed and he yelled, "What? She actually hid my money! That bitch! I'll settle the score with her tomorrow!"
"Don't be impulsive." Fang Zhiyi advised hypocritically, "She's doing this for the child. She's afraid you'll lose the money gambling away."
Although Wu Tian was angry, he gave up after hearing "for the sake of the children" and started bragging about his past "glorious history". Fang Zhiyi listened patiently, and only when Wu Tian couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep did he slowly get up, a sneer on his face.
The next day, Fang Jingtong was so happy to learn that her brother had arranged a job for her husband that she kept telling Wu Tian to pay attention to it, completely ignoring Wu Tian's impatient expression.
Even when Fang Zhiyi asked her to make breakfast, she did it happily, humming a little tune as she went along. The days were getting happier and happier.
Before the two children left for school, Fang Zhiyi "secretly" stuffed some change into Wu Xiaobao's pocket. Wu Dabao saw it all and the jealousy in his heart almost burst out.
Halfway through the journey, Wu Dabao suddenly stopped Wu Xiaobao and stretched out his hand: "Take out the money!"
"Why? This is given to me by my uncle!" Wu Xiaobao held the money tightly.
"My uncle is a big fool! His money is my money!" Wu Dabao said, and stretched out his hand to grab it. Wu Xiaobao was not to be outdone, and kicked him. The two were not much different in size, and soon they started to wrestle, pulling each other's hair and scratching each other's faces, rolling on the ground covered in mud. Only when a passing neighbor pulled them apart did the two stop. Wu Dabao wiped the mud off his face and said viciously: "I will never recognize you as my brother again!" Wu Xiaobao also cried and cursed: "I will never recognize you as my brother!"
The two brothers broke up and didn't speak to each other at school all day.
And what about Fang Jingtong? Fang Zhiyi, under the pretext of "helping her network," enrolled her in a high-class women's club, offering daily activities like yoga, cooking, and flower arranging. Fang Jingtong had never been exposed to such activities before, but she was instantly hooked. The ladies wore designer clothes and spoke in a gentle, refined manner, and the cooking class instructor was a handsome young man. After just one visit, Fang Jingtong instantly experienced joy and felt a sense of sophistication.
Fang Zhiyi was not at home either. He had to go out to look after his daughter. When he got home, he found that Fang Yu was washing dishes in the restaurant again.
But there was a smile on her face, which was much more numb than before.
What on earth is this girl thinking? Fang Zhiyi was a little puzzled.
But he was soon attracted by a group of people.
"Afeng, look at that chick, she's quite pretty."
Chengfeng, who had dyed yellow hair, glanced at her and said, "As long as she's a woman, you think she's ugly."
"Will you come and make a bet?"
"What's the bet?"
"I bet you can't catch her."
This made Chengfeng laugh in anger: "Is it possible for me to pursue a little girl who does odd jobs?"
