Vance's father is Wan Zhang, who at the age of ten recently held a grand wedding, marrying his wife, Hua Rongxiao, who is ten years younger than him. Vance truly cannot understand what kind of spell his father has fallen under; at his age, he should be preparing for the afterlife, yet he insists on getting married!
Vance added weights to himself and, as he lifted them, let out a loud shout. Hou Yi looked at Vance as if he were a monkey, astonished that someone who was originally quite refined and proper had been pushed to the brink of insanity.
Unable to contain his laughter, Hou Yi noted that Vance's eyes were already small, and with this effort, they seemed to disappear entirely, reminiscent of the singer Kou Ronghao.
Hou Yi asked, "Has your dad registered his marriage with his new wife? Did he even think about a prenuptial agreement?"
Vance grew more agitated. "I really don’t know what’s wrong with my old man! You’d think he’s not using his brain, but he’s been in business all his life and has hardly ever suffered losses. If he’s so sharp, why is he remarrying at ten years old without even a prenuptial agreement? Isn’t that just handing over money? I’m thirty now, and he’s bringing home a stepmother who’s forty! There’s barely a year between us! Can you understand that?"
Hou Yi teased him, "Maybe he's found his soulmate and feels compelled to marry. Or perhaps he's just fallen for a top-notch gold digger and lost his mind."
Curious, Hou Yi asked about Hua Rongxiao's background. "What do you know about her? Have you investigated?"
Vance shook his head, squinting his small eyes. "She runs a Medical Aesthetic Institution and started from scratch. I heard she had a previous marriage but her husband passed away. My dad hardly comes home anymore; he bought her a villa where he stays every day."
Hou Yi raised an eyebrow knowingly. "At ten years old, is your old man still doing alright in that department?"
Vance cursed under his breath, "How the hell would I know! Right now I’m just worried that in a moment of confusion he might give away our family fortune. If something happens to him, I’ll have to fight with his new wife for what’s left."
Hou Yi advised him, "You should really look into this Hua Rongxiao. Your dad may be getting older and confused, but she’s forty and at the peak of her life. If she turns out to be a top-tier gold digger, you could be in trouble."
Then Hou Yi recalled something. "By the way, how's your e-commerce company doing? I’ve heard that business in e-commerce has been tough lately."
Vance squinted seriously. "Other businesses might be struggling, but mine is still going strong. Thanks to connections through friends, I've partnered with Zong Group; it’s a long-term deal and relatively stable—so far there haven’t been any major issues."
Hou Yi scoffed. "Zong Group again? Their influence is everywhere these days."
Vance replied, "Aren't you working for Zong Group through Tongshan Real Estate as well? By the way, are you going to the Annual Meeting of Zong Group coming up? I received an invitation."
Hou Yi said casually, "I don’t know; I’ll decide closer to the date based on my schedule. But there’s a fundamental difference between us: you have your dad backing you up. Even if you don’t work with Zong Group anymore, you can always go back to your dad's company and thrive there. I can’t do that; I have to rely on myself. But honestly, my desire to make money isn’t that strong—I’m just going with the flow."
As thoughts of Tong Le crossed Hou Yi's mind, he realized that right now he wasn’t focused on work at all; all he wanted was to possess Tong Le.
Vance sighed in frustration. "If it weren't for my dad holding onto power in the company so tightly, I wouldn’t have had to start my own e-commerce business from scratch."
Hou Yi asked curiously, "Your dad still won’t let go of control? You’re the young master of Wan Jia yet you’re out here running a small company? Are you even still his son?"
Vance couldn’t figure it out either; in this day and age when even one’s own father couldn’t be relied upon, one could only depend on oneself.
Just then, Vance's phone rang.
Vance looked at his phone screen in surprise. "Wow, my old man actually called me. That's unusual."
When the call connected, Vance spoke up, "Dad, what is it?"
On the other end, Wan Zhang said seriously, "You need to come home a bit later for dinner and meet Hua Rongxiao. Tong Le just told me she has a suitable girl to introduce to you. You're thirty now; it's time for you to get married and have kids! Alright, I'm hanging up."
As the call ended, Vance furrowed his brows in confusion.
Hou Yi chuckled at Vance's strange expression. "What did your dad say?"
Vance grimaced. "My dad is worried about his new wife, calling her Tong Le? And he wants to introduce me to someone? He wants me to get married and have kids?"
Hou Yi pondered for a moment. "It seems this Hua Rongxiao isn't simple. You should think of a way to get rid of her. If I were you, I would make her disappear."
