Looking at the adopted daughter she had raised for eighteen years, Fang Zhiyi could not bring herself to be cruel. She simply let her continue living in the Fang family. Fang Yuran became even more taciturn. Fang Nian was not as quiet as Fang Yuran. She was lively and knew how to please her family. She quickly established a deep sibling bond with her three older brothers. Compared to Fang Yuran, who was always quiet, Zhang Enyu clearly preferred this biological daughter.
Fang Zhiyi began to hear her children's complaints one after another. Today they said that Fang Yuran stole her mother's pearl necklace, and tomorrow they heard that Fang Yuran pushed Fang Nian and injured her. After this happened many times, Fang Zhiyi's attitude towards Fang Yuran changed.
Finally, on Zhang Enyu's birthday, the cake Fang Nian had prepared fell to the ground. Fang Yuran, standing nearby, nervously waved her hands, saying, "No, it wasn't me, I didn't touch my sister..."
However, Fang Nian's crying angered the rest of the Fang family. Several sons jumped out and accused Fang Yuran, saying everything from that she was an imposter to that she wanted to stay in the Fang family and leech off them.
Even Zhang Enyu coldly told her to apologize to Fang Nian.
Fang Yuran looked at Fang Zhiyi, her voice trembling, "Dad..."
Fang Zhiyi looked at his daughter, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and finally frowned and waved his hand. He had been good enough to her, but since Fang Nian came back, his daughter had changed. Although he was busy making money all day, he also knew that he had to maintain the family.
Fang Yuran left, without taking anything with her.
Fang Zhiyi had hoped that life at home would return to normal, but she underestimated the trouble her children were capable of causing.
Like Zhang Enyu, Fang Yunhui was a big spender and often caused trouble outside under the name Fang Zhiyi. His classic saying was: "My dad's restaurants will all be mine in the future!" Once, while speeding after drinking, Fang Yunhui hit someone, but he immediately asked how much money the person owed him. Only after a passerby called the police did he flee in a panic and turn around to ask his family for help.
When Fang Zhiyi heard about this, she was furious. Fang Yunhui, who had never been beaten before, was severely beaten and then taken to the police station by Fang Zhiyi. Fortunately, the person who was hit reacted quickly and only suffered minor abrasions. Fang Zhiyi paid compensation, and Fang Yunhui was detained for a month. However, after this incident, he harbored a grudge against Fang Zhiyi.
Fang Yunyi often hung out with a bunch of bad friends. He listened to their advice and secretly took money from home to invest, only to lose a fortune. To cover his losses, he had to ask his mother and sister for help. Zhang Enyu covered his losses, but when Fang Zhiyi found out, she scolded him and told him to cut off all ties with those people. Fang Yunyi felt that Fang Zhiyi had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and was now criticizing his friends. He made a scene at home and slammed the door as he left.
The youngest son, Fang Yunyao, has also entered his rebellious phase. He doesn't want to go to school, doesn't like Fang Zhiyi's lectures, and just likes to play games. He argues with people in the game in the middle of the night. When Fang Zhiyi tries to persuade him, he just closes the door and looks impatient.
"Why didn't you do this earlier? Now you're trying to control me."
Seeing that her older brothers had all fallen out with their father, Fang Nian followed this fine tradition and brought home a boyfriend. Fang Zhiyi strongly objected, feeling that his daughter was too young and it wasn't the right time for her to be in a relationship. Unsurprisingly, Fang Nian stormed back to her room and cried all night. From that day on, she ignored Fang Zhiyi, who seemed to have become an outsider in the family.
Fang Zhiyi felt utterly exhausted. When did his life become like this? He wanted to ask his wife, but Zhang Enyu accused him of only caring about the shop's business, leaving him covered in the smell of cooking oil or alcohol, and neglecting his family. She said that it was his own fault that his children were not close to him now. Fang Zhiyi opened his mouth, glanced at his wife's expensive clothes and jewelry, and lowered his head.
