The next day, Qu Xianfen woke up from her body, while Pan Dawei lost his relevant memories after waking up. When he found out that he had inexplicably lost a day’s memories, he looked a little nervous, but Qu Xianfen kept urging him to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate, so he went there in a daze.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two parted ways. Pan Dawei rushed to the company to deal with his affairs, while Qu Xianfen went home to pack her luggage. She had fewer things than Lu Dan, and could pack it all away into a canvas bag. Her in-laws were watching her intently the whole time, afraid that she would take away the valuables in the house.
The corners of Qu Xianfen’s mouth held a secret smile, and she told them silently in her heart: It’s useless to stare at me now. I’ve already taken away everything valuable, and from now on, it’s up to your son’s luck whether he can turn over a new leaf in the future.
Yes, Pan Dawei still had a chance to turn things around. If that Ruoyu loved him and was willing to give everything to him, then naturally he could take his transferred property to redeem the house. If Ruoyu had no conscience and swallowed all his property, then Pan Dawei could only consider himself unlucky. He planted the seed at the beginning, and would have to deal with whatever fruit it bore in the future. Everything in the world had its own arrangement.
Thinking of this, Qu Xianfen’s heart was unprecedentedly peaceful. She walked into the elevator with the canvas bag that had been washed white, going up to the eighteenth floor. Mr. Fan was not there, and the door was opened by a child, who stretched out his chubby finger and pointed to the rooftop. “Brother, is, up there.”
“Okay, thank you little friend.” Qu Xianfen took out a box of cookies from her bag and handed it over with a smile. “This is for you. I made them myself, they’re delicious!”
The little boy took the cookies and bowed politely. “Thank you, Auntie, Froggy likes them!”
Qu Xianfen heard “I like them,” so she smiled gently. She slowly pushed open the iron gate leading to the roof, and looked gratefully at the young man standing by the edge of the platform. He stood under the cloudy sky, his posture as tall and straight as pine and cypress trees. The strong wind blew his hair into a disheveled manner and made his clothes flutter, but he kept looking into the distance, like an immortal statue. He appeared like the kind of man whose spine would never bend under any fate.
“Ms. Qu, you’re here,” he said without turning his head, as if he had already foreseen this meeting.
“Mr. Fan, I’m here to say goodbye, and thank you.” Qu Xianfen remained standing in a restrained manner.
“Where is my thing?” Fan Jialuo stepped down from the high platform and spread out his white palm.
“What?” Qu Xianfen was stunned.
“Just put your hand on top,” Fan Jialuo said softly.
“Oh, okay!” Qu Xianfen put her palm over the young man’s palm. A short while later, she felt a scalding energy leave her body. It caused her to feel fatigued, but it was just a physical sensation, and her spirit was still exhilarated, which was enough to support her to leave this place full of painful memories.
When she withdrew her hand, a jade stone the size of a grain of rice appeared in Mr. Fan’s palm. Perhaps it was because the light was strong during the day, but the jade didn’t emit that deeply attractive light like the previous night. She watched Mr. Fan take it back with no ripples in her heart, let alone the desire to take it for herself.
Fan Jialuo glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. “Have you finished your business?”
Qu Xianfen smiled bitterly. “Mr. Fan, you should know that I just changed my identity, not my brain, so with my ability, how could I turn the situation around? You’re right, people should learn to save themselves instead of waiting for others to save them. I found the answer you asked me to look for.”
The corners of Fan Jialuo’s mouth rose a little higher.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Qu Xianfen realized that her answer satisfied Mr. Fan, and her reserved expression relaxed completely. “What I lost was not my family, love, and affection, but my independence. The most important thing for me to do was finding myself, not fighting for property. Mr. Fan, thank you for your guidance, I know how to live on in the future.

“Goodbye, and take care.” Fan Jialuo smiled and waved.
Qu Xianfen slowly walked down the stairs, but suddenly ran back while slapping her forehead, her face ashen. “Mr. Fan, I just remembered something! I forgot to leave some money for you as a reward! When I earn money in the future, I will definitely call you! Your phone number is linked to your WeChat account, right? You must accept my request later! I’m New Journey 20XX! Mr. Fan, Pan Dawei will be back soon, so I have to go now. It was nice meeting you, goodbye!”
Qu Xianfen ran away like a breeze carried her, exuding freedom and joy. Although she only began learning to be independent in her thirties, it was really not too late. It was never too late to start, so one should never give up on themself.
Fan Jialuo watched her back silently, and waited for the sound of her footsteps to disappear in the stairwell before climbing onto the high platform, standing by the railing and watching her figure darting out of the building. She kicked the garbage can placed by the curb, patted the branches of the flowering trees poking out onto the path, and quickly disappeared.
She said that she had grown up, but the most sincere, kind, and innocent part of her had not changed. This was the answer that Fan Jialuo wanted her to find.
Fan Jialuo stood on the rooftop for a while before going back to check on the child, only to find Xu Yiyang feeding butter-soaked cookies to the frog. He used a string to tie the cookie crumbs and slowly lowered them into the fish tank, swaying them from side to side to attract the frog to stick out his tongue. He was having fun, and the frog was eating happily, but Fan Jialuo, who had checked Baidu, showed a distressed expression.
“Stop playing, we may have to take the frog to see a doctor.” He rolled up his sleeves to change the frog’s water, wrapped it in an energy field, and transferred it to a small fish tank.
Xu Yiyang was terrified, and tears streamed down his face. His hands anxiously clenched the hem of his shirt and his feet stepped back and forth on the floor, completely at a loss.
Fan Jialuo could only tell him with a strong hug—No matter what mistakes you make, I will not abandon you.
During this long hug that he was unwilling to let go of, Xu Yiyang’s tears stopped, and an unprecedented reassured smile appeared on his face. “Brother, love!” he whispered in the young man’s ear, word by word.
Fan Jialuo inclined his head to look at him, his eyes shining with a radiant light. He pressed his forehead against the child’s, quietly feeling the warmth of the comfort and the burning thirst. When he tried to soothe the hearts of others, others could bring him the same comfort, which was probably the most beautiful thing in the world.
Fan Jialuo returned with Xu Yiyang at 8 p.m. The frog squatted in the small fish tank and croaked, in high spirits. The vet at the pet hospital even gave it a free bottle of flying insects, saying that it was to make them frequent patrons.
“Froggy, I’m sorry!” Xu Yiyang apologized to the frog the entire way home, while Fan Jialuo looked at them with a smile, a quiet gentleness in his gaze.
The two walked up the stairs as usual, but when they reached the fourth floor, they found that the door to the house was wide open, and a middle-aged man was roaring at the top of his lungs, “If I ask you to sign, will you just sign? Why don’t you die when I tell you to go to hell? I’m finished now, it’s all over! All of the company’s shares have been transferred out, and I only got 50 fucking million! They gave me 50 million yuan for hundreds of shares, and expelled me from the board of directors! The house is gone, it’s been mortgaged, and the money was all donated, so it’s impossible to get back! I was fucking ruined overnight! You two old bastards, you’re the reason this happened! I shouldn’t have put the house under your names in the first place! I had a free nanny when I took care of Qu Xianfen, but what did I get from taking care of you? I was ruined by you!”
“Son, you asked us to sign! We didn’t know anything! Don’t you still have savings? Didn’t you say that you had a lot of money outside? How could you go bankrupt!” An old woman sat paralyzed at the entrance, her face covered with swollen bruises. An old man hid behind a cupboard and scowled, also covered in bruises.
It was as if the middle-aged man woke up from a dream, and he quickly took out his phone to make a call, his tone very anxious as he said, “Ruoyu, quickly transfer my money back. I got divorced today, so now you can transfer it back.”
A delicate voice said with a smile, “Brother Dawei, you can’t transfer it back now. If Qu Xianfen finds out, she can sue you in court to get the money back. Don’t worry, I’ll save the money for you, it won’t be lost.”
“I have an urgent matter now, so you must immediately transfer it to me. Qu Xianfen doesn’t have the guts to sue me,” the man said patiently.
“Brother Dawei, wait a while longer. I saved the money for when I’m on my deathbed, so it’s difficult to withdraw. Brother Dawei, I have something to do right now, so I can’t talk any longer, bye.” The woman hung up quickly, and refused to pick up when the man called again, letting it go to a busy tone. It was obvious that she had already run away. It was impossible for her to not have heard of such a big incident in the company. She knew that she could not extract any more benefits form Pan Dawei, so she simply took all his money and fled.
But from a legal perspective, this money couldn’t be recovered, and could only be regarded as a free gift. A man guarded against a woman who was willing to give everything to him, but lost everything to a woman who didn’t love him at all. This was probably the most mysterious arrangement of fate.
Pan Dawei finally realized that he had nothing, and all his relatives had betrayed him, so he threw his phone against the wall hard, repeatedly kicking and punching the wall.
A teenager stood beside him with a devastated expression. “Dad, are we out of money? Can you still buy me my sports car? That 50 million should be enough to buy a sports car, right?”
The man responded with a slap using all his strength.
The farce intensified, and the man began to vent his anger on his family. The muffled sound of punches and kicks, and the hysterical shouts echoed in the building for a long time, but the people who originally lived here had already left one by one. They were only the last two listeners sitting on the balcony on the 18th floor.
“Croak!” Froggy called out unhappily.
“Fan Jialuo rubbed Xu Yiyang’s head and said, “Let’s go, stop listening and go to sleep.”
“Lively!” Xu Yiyang raised his fat and short thumb, his eyes full of cunning. The shadow of being abused and beaten had long since disappeared from the depths of his heart, and when he encountered something similar, he would no longer be afraid, nor would he panic and find a corner to hide in, because he knew that under his big brother’s protection, he would never be harmed.
The next day, before dawn, Fan Jialuo was woken up by Cao Xiaohui’s life-threatening serial calls. The other party’s voice was calm, but his tone was very angry. “Mr. Fan, I have two things to tell you. Before that, can you log into Weibo?”
“Go ahead.” Fan Jialuo stepped out of the bathtub, put on a bathrobe, and took out the tablet that Xu Yiyang used to do homework and look things up.
“Check your @ on Weibo and click on the two related videos, and tell me what you think after watching them,” Cao Xiaohui directed.
Fan Jialuo did find two videos. One of them was him telling Fan Kaixuan his fortune when he attended the banquet that night. He supported his chin and said word by word, “You were not supposed to exist… No, you are not father and son… Your existence is no longer necessary, so you will disappear soon… When you can’t see a path forward, you can come to me, as I may be the only person who can help you… A disease with certain death… I want the old Fan family house.”
The person who posted this video wrote a headline in big red letters—[Fan Jialuo cursed Fan Kaixuan to die, and asked for the lion’s share].
The video’s views were currently skyrocketing.
The second video was from the third episode of “The World of Strange People” that was broadcasted last night. The poster compiled all the clips of Fan Jialuo’s psychic scenes, and even added some special effects. The number of views was even more impressive, at ten million.
At the top of the video, many of the netizen’s barrage messages popped up, all of which were derogatory and abusive: [I originally thought that Fan Jialuo had changed for the better, but now I realize that he’s the same, causing such a scene for the hype! Insulting a woman with such vicious words, is he still a man?]
[Su Fengxi has been banned, did he do it? Who did he get involved with?]
[All the other psychics said that Su Fengxi was an angel, and he was the only one who was as vicious as he could be! He showed me how unmannered a man could be! Bullshit psychic, pretentious liar!]
[Childish, my brain is broken. He even dares to provoke Fan Kaixuan. He really thinks he’s a psychic who can prophesize? I think he is courting death!]
[He may have gotten too deep into the act! He really thinks he’s an immortal while acting.]
[This completely fake show is rapidly draining the goodwill I just built up for Fan Jialuo. No matter how good looking he is, I don’t want to lick his face anymore, it stinks! To describe a woman as a monster, I have to say that he is really too much! Su Fengxi is really pitiful, she couldn’t even sing well after this blow from him. And when she sang on stage, he was still muttering below, showing no respect at all. He really sucks!]
[What character identification machine, this is all speculation!]
[I don’t want to see him on TV anymore, I really dislike him! No demeanor, no character, no quality, he has nothing. I can’t believe that such a person can be popular. The entertainment industry should be properly rectified!]
[The entertainment industry should be properly rectified. Su Fengxi is clearly capable, but she was banned for no reason. I’m not her fan, but I feel bad for her! Those who call others monsters are the real monsters themselves!]
[The person who should be banned is Fan Jialuo! The show must have no lower limit to chase hype by pretending someone is a monster! I’ve already complained to the head office! @Fan Kaixuan Boss, please get rid of him, I’m sick of him!]
A large amount of abuse and ridicule flashed across the screen. There were already many people who sympathized with and missed Su Fengxi, and now that the video of Fan Jialuo dissing her was broadcast, these people all vented their grievances on him. The favorability of passersby had also been greatly diminished because of his ungentlemanly and impolite performance. The words he used to describe Su Fengxi were really ugly.
The weak were often thought worthy of sympathy and support. Su Fengxi, who was currently nowhere to be found, was undoubtedly the weak. Fan Jialuo’s strong performance on the show had attracted a lot of criticism, and his popularity had taken a considerable hit, going from the red to the black. Of course, there were still people who believed in him, but the voices of the public soon overshadowed these sporadic voices, and his situation seemed to have fallen back to the beginning.
After watching the video, Fan Jialuo hummed lightly.
Cao Xiaohui immediately said, “I heard from Director Song that ‘The World of Strange People’ has been reported by angry viewers. Su Fengxi was banned for no reason, so now her fans have now hit rock bottom and started attacking you crazily. You have to be prepared for your popularity to plummet. It seems that Fan Kaixuan’s side is also targeting you, what should we do?”
“I don’t care about the rise or fall of my popularity, just let it be,” Fan Jialuo responded casually while editing a Weibo post. “Don’t worry about Fan Kaixuan’s side either.”
“Fan Kaixuan has a lot of resources, so don’t underestimate him… Fuck, what did you do? Why can’t you control your own hands?” Cao Xiaohui screamed in despair over the phone, because Fan Jialuo had posted a new update—[@Fan Kaixuan, remember to come to me when you’re sick and dying.]
What was strength? This was true strength!
