’Scavenging again...’

’Can we even have fun anymore? He can’t go three sentences without talking about scavenging.’ Principal Wang really wanted to ask Fang Chenyi, ’Did you become the richest man in the world by scavenging or what?’ 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He sighed helplessly and said,

"Sigh, it’s such a shame. Brother Fang, with your skill level, I dare say you could definitely place in the top three in the world league!"

Fang Chenyi just chuckled at that. ’Is he kidding? So what if I were number one in the world? Could that be more practical than scavenging?’

"Heh, Xiaowang, let me ask you. Do you think you could convince your old man to join your gaming team?"

Principal Wang was clearly taken aback by the comeback. But after a moment’s thought, he gave a sheepish smile. ’Fang Chenyi has a point. With his current status, he definitely wouldn’t be interested in this stuff...’

"Haha, alright, thanks for playing with me. Let’s go, it’s getting late. We’ll grab a bite to eat first. After that, you guys can head back to the villa and pack your things."

As he spoke, Fang Chenyi turned off his phone and stood up. Seeing this, the others quickly got to their feet as well.

Fang Chenyi picked up a set of keys from the coffee table, casually tossed them to Principal Wang, and said as he walked out,

"There’s a number on the key. I didn’t see which villa it is, so you guys can figure it out."

RING RING RING~

The group was laughing and chatting as they walked outside, but Bai Menghan’s phone suddenly rang.

She gestured for the others to go on ahead, then slowed her pace to answer the call.

"Hello, Dad."

Hearing that it was his future father-in-law, Fang Chenyi smiled at Principal Wang and said,

"The same place as this afternoon. I won’t treat you like strangers. You guys go on ahead. Once you’re there, just eat whatever you want. I’ll be over in a bit."

Principal Wang could tell Fang Chenyi wasn’t just being polite. So, he smiled, said his goodbyes, and started heading toward Char’s villa, bragging about how delicious the food here was along the way.

Fang Chenyi had just walked over to Bai Menghan’s side when he heard her ask anxiously,

"Dad, don’t panic. What on earth is happening with our family?"

Fang Chenyi froze. ’Trouble at his future father-in-law’s house?’

At that moment, on the other end of the line, Father Bai sighed helplessly and said to his daughter,

"Sigh, it’s your cousin. She’s in trouble. Chen Xi wants to divorce her, and he’s demanding your second uncle’s family pay several million in compensation! Your mom and I are at your second uncle’s house right now. Sigh, Mengyao has locked herself in her room and won’t make a sound. She won’t say anything no matter what we ask. Your second uncle and aunt are devastated. I’m calling you because... well, there’s something. I know this isn’t right, but seeing the state your second uncle is in, I have no other choice. Your mom and I talked it over, and we’re planning to give him the 300,000 we’d saved for your dowry for now. What do you think? Sigh... also, if you have time, you should come back and try talking to her."

The voice from the earpiece was loud enough that Fang Chenyi, standing nearby, heard most of it. He gently patted Bai Menghan’s shoulder, then reached out and took the phone from her hand. He spoke to his future father-in-law,

"Uncle, it’s Chenyi. Please don’t worry too much; your health is the most important thing. Please tell Second Uncle and Second Aunt that a few million isn’t a huge sum of money. I can get it anytime. Um, we’ll head back right now. Whatever it is, we can talk about it when we get there."

Father Bai on the other end was clearly surprised that Fang Chenyi was there too, especially since it was already past seven in the evening. ’Could it be...?’

"Absolutely not! We absolutely cannot use your money!"

Before Father Bai could finish, Fang Chenyi cut in,

"Uncle, you’re making me sound like an outsider. I’m your son-in-law. As the saying goes, ’a son-in-law is half a son,’ which makes me your son. So why can’t we use your half-son’s money for a family matter? Haha, alright, Uncle, don’t you worry. We’re heading back now. Whatever’s going on, just wait until we get there."

After saying that, he handed the phone back to Bai Menghan without waiting for a reply. He then gestured to her that he was going to say a quick word to Principal Wang and the others, and strode toward Char’s villa.

When he arrived at Char’s villa, he saw Principal Wang and a few other young men sitting at a table chatting. There wasn’t a single dish on the table.

"Hey, Xiaocong, what’s all this? Didn’t I tell you to eat first? Are you trying to be a stranger with me?"

Principal Wang chuckled, saying it was precisely because he saw him as a big brother that he had to wait for him and his sister-in-law to arrive before they could eat.

Fang Chenyi smiled and pointed at Principal Wang. He then called for Char to bring out the food before turning back to Principal Wang and saying,

"Xiaocong, you guys go ahead and eat. Do whatever you want after you’re done. Your sister-in-law’s family has a situation that I need to go handle, so I can’t join you. Don’t be polite, just order whatever you want to eat. Haha, as long as you can name it, Char and his team can definitely make it for you."

Hearing this, Principal Wang quickly stood up. "Brother Fang, what happened with sister-in-law’s family? Do you need my help?"

Fang Chenyi waved his hand. "It’s fine. I’ll go check it out first. If I need you, I’ll definitely give you a call. Alright, I’m in a hurry to leave. You guys eat first."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked back to his own villa as the others watched him go.

When he reached the entrance of his villa, he saw that Bai Menghan had already packed and had driven her pink Lamborghini out.

Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but smile wryly at the sight.

"Xiao Hanhan, we should probably switch cars. The roads near your parents’ place aren’t really suitable for this one."

Hearing this, Bai Menghan agreed it made sense. The last time she drove her car home, she scraped the chassis several times, and she was gutted about it.

He walked into the garage of Villa No. 1 and glanced around, his eyes finally landing on a huge beast in the corner.

He snapped his fingers. "Knight XV, you’re the one."

He walked over, pulled open the door, and started the engine. A beastly roar instantly echoed throughout the entire villa complex.

In the nearby villa, Principal Wang, who was eating at Char’s, also heard the sound. Being the car fanatic that he was, the moment he heard that beastly roar, he immediately dropped his chopsticks, ran out of the yard in just a few steps, and saw Fang Chenyi driving the massive, armored-car-like Knight XV out of the garage.

"Holy shit, a Knight XV! He even has this car? Badass!"

He stopped the vehicle in front of Bai Menghan. After she got in, Fang Chenyi slammed on the gas, and the massive Knight XV headed directly for the nearest gas station.
