In the evening, after everyone had fallen asleep, Ye Qingqing's soft sobs could still be heard, followed by the sound of a door opening.
Ye Qingqing turned and saw the person arriving, then rushed forward to hug them and whispered, "Can you take me away? I can't stand this life anymore! Can you bear to watch them beat me to death? And what about our son?"
The person standing at the door held Ye Qingqing, their gaze shifting to the little boy sleeping in the bed, and said, "Wait a bit longer. I don't have any money right now. I'll try to coax my mother for some these next few days, and then we'll leave. Just bear with it a little longer!"
Hearing this, Ye Qingqing looked earnestly into his eyes. Seeing the sincerity in them, she finally nodded. She was really at her limit; if he didn't find a way to take her away soon, she planned to leave on her own. At worst, she would leave everything behind; the money she had saved should be enough for her to start a new life elsewhere.
Fu Longfei was angry, but he still had to go to work. Otherwise, how would this large family survive? To his surprise, when he returned home that day, he found a crowd of people gathered at his doorstep. After finally squeezing his way in, Fu Longfei saw his mother sitting on the ground, wailing. He rushed over to ask her what had happened.
"The money is gone! My money is gone! My coffin money! Who has no conscience!..."
"What money? How did it go missing? Did you put it somewhere else?"
"All my savings, my entire fortune, are gone! I've searched the house, and it's nowhere to be found!"
Outside, the crowd continued to chatter and discuss. Fu Longfei grew impatient and directly shouted at the door, "What are you looking at? There's nothing to see!" He then went to close the door.
"Stop crying. Search again, maybe you forgot where you put it." Mother Fu felt a little intimidated by Fu Longfei's demeanor and had to wipe her tears, stand up, and go back to search.
In the end, they couldn't find it. Fu Longfei had no choice but to go to the police to report the loss. The police department had already been tipped off. After accepting the case, there was no further news. It was clear they were just placating them, and Fu Longfei knew this, but he was helpless.
He had considered asking Ji Mingyi for help, but he couldn't even get into the compound, let alone see Ji Mingyi. However, he hadn't given up and waited outside. Finally, one day, he saw her.
Ji Mingyi wasn't alone when she came out. Han Dong was with her, and of course, Ji Xingmi was there too, though Fu Longfei overlooked her. What Fu Longfei found most unbelievable was seeing Ji Mingyi holding hands with the man next to her. Unable to restrain himself, he rushed out and blocked their path.
"Fine! I knew why you wanted a divorce from me! So you've found someone new. You're shameless, utterly disgusting! You have no sense of decency..."
Ji Mingyi was startled by the sudden appearance of the man, but Han Dong's movements were swift. He immediately pulled Ji Mingyi into his arms and, with a quick gesture, pulled Ji Xingmi behind him. Ji Xingmi didn't recognize the person blocking their way. She poked her head out from behind Han Dong to look at him.
Ji Mingyi also hadn't expected to encounter Fu Longfei here. Seeing him in his current state, she merely frowned, showing no other expression. Han Dong had been paying close attention to Ji Mingyi's reactions since this man appeared. Seeing that she was only a little surprised and showed no other emotion, not even disgust, he felt reassured.
"I wondered who it was, but it's just a stray dog! What? Your leg is healed?" Knowing that Ji Mingyi no longer cared about him, Han Dong decided not to hide his harsh words anymore. "Of course, it was me. I've doted on her for half my life, and you dare to hurt her! Crippling just one of your legs was lenient. But it seems I didn't hit hard enough if you're all better so quickly. And you still have the energy to come here and cause trouble!" Han Dong released Ji Mingyi at this moment, pushed her behind him to stand with Ji Xingmi, and then slowly approached Fu Longfei.
Seeing Han Dong slowly approaching him, Fu Longfei became a little flustered and unconsciously took a few steps back. Seeing his cowardly behavior, Ji Xingmi almost covered her eyes. She found it embarrassing to watch!
"Aunt, Uncle Han is quite formidable! He looks like a bandit!"
"What are you saying! But he really was the little tyrant bandit in the compound when he was young!" Ji Mingyi smiled at the memory.
"Oh my, you really are in love! Aunt, you seem to be smiling more and more lately!"
Hearing Ji Xingmi's words, Ji Mingyi unconsciously touched her face. Smiling more and more? She glanced at Fu Longfei again. Had she been so unhappy before?
Han Dong had already kicked Fu Longfei to the ground. After being kicked down, Fu Longfei's knee ached terribly, and he couldn't stand up. He sat on the ground groaning!
"I advise you to leave the capital. You don't want to know what else you'll encounter if you continue to stay here. I'll give you three days to leave on your own! If you exceed three days, I'll help you leave!" Having said this, Han Dong no longer engaged with him and prepared to leave with Ji Mingyi and Ji Xingmi.
