The heartless Du Juan family, they just go about their business, unaffected by the outside world, even if they get side-eyed when they step out. They truly have thicker skin than city walls. Wen Fang and Wei Dong, however, have long detached from that family and moved back to Wen Fang’s hometown, fully cutting ties with the Du Juan family.

It was through netizens’ reports that Mrs. Song, far away, learned about Wei Dong selling at the night market and cried in distress.

Wei Dong comforted her, saying, "Mom, if money is gone, it’s gone. If we really can’t get the house back, then so be it. If you and Dad are free, come live here for a while. Life has to go on. We must look forward, not backward, and certainly shouldn’t get upset about unrelated people. It’s not worth it. We have hands and feet and can make it on our own."

"That house is ours. Why should we give it to them? No way. A house worth hundreds of thousands isn’t something we should just give up. Just for her attitude alone, I must get the house back. Don’t worry, I won’t drop this matter lightly. I’ll keep suing until they compromise."

In the previous life, there was evidence. In this life, there isn’t, which is why that Du Juan can act so audaciously.

In truth, Wei Dong was far from feeling comfortable. That woman was now always on guard against them, afraid they might install surveillance or recording devices at home, and never let them in. This is also why Wei Dong felt utterly disappointed with this family.

All the strange behaviors confirmed this woman’s guilty conscience, but they just lacked evidence.

Every time there was care for Song Ge, there was equal hatred for Du Juan. After much thought, Wei Dong decided he couldn’t just sit and wait.

So, when the weekend came, after leaving the house to his wife, he went alone to K City and called Wei Fuqiang, hoping to meet for a meal.

When Wei Fuqiang heard that he was alone, his guard lowered a bit, and after a pause, he agreed, but insisted on picking the venue themselves.

Look at this, their guard against him had reached this extent. They used to be one family, but now, they’ve completely split into two.

As for Du Juan’s past promise to give him a house, Wei Dong never believed it, and their lack of action said it all.

Do they think their choice of place would make them safe?

Don’t forget, she’s skilled in hypnotism. If he wants to, there’s nothing he can’t do.

From the moment Wei Fuqiang agreed to dine with him, Wei Dong had a flawless plan in mind.

Wei Fuqiang and his wife arrived at the restaurant, ordered dishes, and then informed Wei Dong to come over.

Originally, the bond between these three was mediocre, and after everything happened, the couple became even more indifferent to him.

Indeed, they didn’t invite him to sit; instead, they immediately asked.

"Why did you invite us for a meal? Haven’t you already sided with your biological mom? Why come see us? Is it because we didn’t give you a house, and Shi Lei hasn’t returned your family’s house, so you feel imbalanced?"

"Ahem," Du Juan, with her sharp, sarcastic face, shot Wei Fuqiang a warning glance, then addressed Wei Dong.

"Come on, hand over your bag and phone. I don’t want to see any recording devices. Otherwise, there’s no way we can have this meal."

Wei Dong couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "Are you afraid? Feeling guilty?"

Du Juan looked incredulously at the straightforward Wei Dong.

"Why would I feel guilty? I just don’t want to become some people’s entertainment. Will you hand them over? If not, we’ll just leave. Everything’s meaningless anyway, and we’ve already cut ties. Why meet? You have an ulterior motive. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting. Let me tell you, if you want my house, dream on!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Dream, huh?"

Wei Dong gave a cold smile. As the smile deepened, his gaze became increasingly inscrutable. Originally filled with their emotions, the couple unknowingly fell under Wei Dong’s influence, their eyes shifting from guilt to confusion, and then to obediently following Wei Dong’s soft-spoken commands.

"Take out your phones, start a live stream, yes, smile naturally as if everything’s fine, call me over,"

"Hello, everyone, our son came to see us today, and we’re dining together. By the way, my spouse and I have some things we’d like to say to everyone."
