  The breakfast table was quite empty today. Jiang Weiyuan had headed outside earlier somewhere and so did his daughter, Jiang Ruiling too. The Old Madam announced that she won't be coming for breakfast today. Jiang Fai inwardly knew what might be the reason.

  Ruomei was absent as well. After her crushing defeat last night and how Shi Zhen abandoned her, she had no room to face anybody.

  "Sister-in-law! See this news!"

  Lihua curiosity peeked in and read some articles where Li Corporations had declared bankruptcy. The media had given a thorough coverage of how he chose his mistress over his legal wife and how Jiang Xiurang had suffered. He lost all his reputation after how Jiang Fai slapped him hard with his victory.

  On the other hand, Kang Yuming's state was just as bad. She was utterly humiliated and labeled as the homewrecker. People, especially married women, even threw eggs and rotten tomatoes on her in anger.

  "All because of such shameless women is why we have to suffer!"

  "They seduce our husband and throw the wife out!"

  "Disgusting!"

  "Don't just blame the homewrecker. If the husband can be seduced so easily, then he should rot in hell too!"

  "Yes. The husband shouldn't be spared either!"

  Kang Hongqi and Kang Meifen weren't spared either. Somebody exposed a clip of their rebellious ways in school and how they bullied weak students. The incident where they framed Jiang Fai Fri beating up Kang Meifen also came to light. They were thoroughly admonished too for their shameful behavior.

  "Even their illegitimate children are lost cause!"

  "What else can we expect from a cheater and homewrecker's child?"

  The Li business had taken a massive hit by all this reveal which was beyond repair. On the other hand, Jiang Xiurang all the netizens highly praised her courage to stand up against him.

  "I am so proud of Jiang Xiurang. She suffered so much, but I am glad that she divorced that cheater!"

  "Yes, women must learn to respect themselves."

  "Nobody can force us to live with a cheater!"

  "We are not helpless! We have our self-respect!"

  Jiang Xiurang's one courageous move inspired hundreds of women like her who lived in abusive relationships to come out and speak up too. Hashtags like #RespectWomen, #StandUpForYourself, #DumpTheCheater became trending on Weibo in no time.

  Lihua brightened. "Wow, Aunt! Look how famous you have become! See? You have not just helped yourself, but helped other such women who needed that push to get out of their toxic relationships."

  Jiang Xiurang smiled in embarrassment. "It was only because of you otherwise I would have never dared to stand against Old Madam."

  Then she looked at another article and sheepishly grinned. "Fai Fai is also famous now. *Ahem!* Just look at how many girls are confessing their love to the artist Jiang Fai~" she teased.

  "Ahhh I love Jiang Fai!"

  "I heard that he was quite rebellious but gosh he has such a talent!"

  "His art brought tears to my eyes."

  "It is simply breathtaking."

  "Jiang Fai, I love you!"

  "Jiang Fai, I will be waiting for more of your stories!"

  His cheeks reddened as he read the comments. "W-what nonsense! Girls are so bold these days…" he mumbled.

  "Awww, Fai Fai is actually a shy boy~"

  "You!"

  She looked at Jiang Xiurang, "Aunt, you might find your future daughter-in-law somewhere between these fans hoho! So keep an eye out~" She winked.

  She beamed. "Oh!"

  "What oh?" He glared at her. "I am just seventeen!"

  She rolled her eyes.

  Jiang Lanying, Jiang Li's wife, listened to their conversation and had an urge to join in too. But she just couldn't get the timing right. In the end, she pursed her lips and remained quiet.

  Jiang Li got up and was about to head out.

  "W-Wait!" Jiang Lanying stopped him. "Are you done so soon? You hardly ate anything…"

  He stared at her. "Not really hungry." He left after that.

  Wei said, "We should leave too."

  Lihua nodded. "Yes!"

  Jiang Fai asked, "Hey, hey, where are you going?"

  "Shopping!"

  His gaze shone in happiness. "Woah! Can I jo-"

  Wei's sharp stare made him gulp his words back. Jiang Xiurang coughed as she whispered, "Let it be, Fai. Lixue was busy with you for an entire month. Let them spend some time together. Wei must have felt really lonely. Go with her next time."

  He grumbled.

  Wei said, "Let's go."——

  In the largest shopping mall of Beijing, Lihua was eager to hop around as soon as entered the premises. There were so many shops lined up that she was confused about where to go first.

  "Hmm…… let's go there!"

  Wei took a glance and frowned. "That's a men's clothing store."

  "Yes. Let's shop for you!" She beamed.

  "I don't need anything. I brought you to shop for yourself."

  "Oof! We will do that too. But let's shop for hubby!"

  Wei actually didn't wish anything for him, but Lihua had already pulled him towards the shop.

  The saleswoman kindly welcomed them. She almost coughed blood seeing the Godly handsome Wei.

  "Welcome! What would you like to see, Sir, Mam?"

  Lihua said, "Show me some nice shirts for my husband!"

  She choked.

  This sinful man is her husband!? What good deeds did she do in her last life that she got him? She sobbed at her own sad fate.

  "Yes, yes Mam. We have received quite a lot of refreshing and new collections. I will show you right away."

  Lihua eagerly went through each of them in delight. "Wei! Try this. You have such dull colors in shirts. This maroon will look so beautiful on you!"

  Wei obediently nodded.

  "Go, go!" She pushed him towards the men's changing room.

  Wei stepped inside and changed into the maroon shirt. From the cubicle beside him, he heard faint kissing sounds which he simply ignored. There wasn't any change in his expression.

  But he wondered how it would feel to make out with Lihua in the changing room?

  That would be a……different experience.

  Suddenly, he felt like calling in his wife.

  "Please, young mistress. Stop this."

  Wei paused as he heard a familiar voice. Then he heard another familiar voice that belonged to a woman.

  "Why do we have to stop?"

  They talked some more and the woman sighed in exasperation. Frustrated, she stepped out of the cubicle. As her gaze lifted, she froze. She saw the Mafia King standing in front of her, tilting his head and watching her silently.

  It was the Mafia King who also happened to be her cousin.

  "…… Cousin."

  Wei slowly parted his lips. "Ruiling."
