25: Chapter 25: Is There Any Benefit?
Fang Yi rode his bike ho, and when he arrived at his front door, he took out his keys, hesitated for a mont, but ultimately turned around and knocked on Xia Ziqi’s door.
After a while, the door opened.
“Do you…
do you need sothing?” Xia Ziqi asked.
“Is Cai Cai back yet?” Fang Yi countered.
Xia Ziqi nodded.
Fang Yi looked past Xia Ziqi and saw the interior of her ho, which was clean yet seemingly dimly lit.
“Maybe…
you can co in and sit for a bit,” Xia Ziqi said through clenched teeth, as if making a very difficult decision.
“If I co in, your husband will get angry,” Fang Yi said.
“He’s not ho tonight, he went out,” Xia Ziqi said.
After that, Xia Ziqi stepped aside to invite Fang Yi in.
Since she had offered, Fang Yi didn’t hold back and walked inside.
The house wasn’t very spacious and had a faint musty sll, but it was tidy.
“You…
you take a seat, I’ll get you so water,” Xia Ziqi said.
Fang Yi nodded and casually took a seat.
Soon, Xia Ziqi brought over a glass of water, which Fang Yi took but did not drink.
“Where’s Cai Cai?”
“She’s in her room doing howork,” Xia Ziqi pursed her lips, looking extrely uncomfortable, her hands clutching at her pants.
Suddenly, Fang Yi noticed a faint red mark on the lower side of Xia Ziqi’s cheek and a bruise-like discoloration under her ear.
“Did your husband hit you?” Fang Yi asked.
This unexpected question made Xia Ziqi’s delicate body shudder, and clearly at a loss, she bit her lip, avoiding Fang Yi’s gaze.
“It seems he definitely hit you.
Why don’t you file for divorce?” Fang Yi pressed.
This ti, Xia Ziqi didn’t stay silent.
She whispered, “I can’t divorce.
We have a child.”
“But divorce is for the child’s benefit…
Wait a minute…” Fang Yi suddenly thought of sothing, his tone turning icy, “Don’t tell your husband hits the child, too.”
Xia Ziqi remained silent.
“Haven’t you thought about fighting back?
He hits you and the child.
If you went to court and sued him, he could definitely go to prison.
You don’t need to be so scared,” Fang Yi said.
Xia Ziqi shook her head and finally spoke up, “It’s no use.
He won’t let divorce.
If I dare to file for divorce, he said he’ll have soone kill and Cai Cai…
I…
I really don’t know what to do…”
Tears had begun to form in the corners of Xia Ziqi’s eyes, but a surge of anger was welling up in Fang Yi’s heart.
Fang Yi thought of that fierce yet emaciated man from the day before, Xia Ziqi’s husband, a man who was clearly on a wrong path and no different than scum.
Fang Yi stood up, facing Xia Ziqi, and said, “If you’re too scared to do it, I’ll help you.
Cai Cai is a very lovely little girl; she shouldn’t have such a childhood.
If you make up your mind, you can find .
I’m just next door.”
As Fang Yi left the house, he let out a deep exhale, as though purging a breath of foul air, yet his heart couldn’t calm down for a long ti.
…
The next morning, like usual, Fang Yi practiced a set of Boxing Technique.
His Boxing Technique had no na, it consisted of just one move, with almost all the moves and Inner Strength circulations created for this one move alone.
Mountain Breaking!
Perhaps this could be considered the na of the Boxing Technique.
There was a knock at the door, and Fang Yi was already prepared to leave.
As he opened the door, he saw Cai Cai with her school bag, her little face animated with excitent: “Uncle Fang, hurry up, or we’ll be late.”
“We won’t be late.
Today, I promise you’ll be early,” Fang Yi said mysteriously.
A few minutes later, when Cai Cai saw Fang Yi’s Phoenix brand bicycle, she exclaid in awe, her eyes sparkling: “Uncle, Cai Cai has never seen this kind of bicycle before!
Are you going to take to school with this?”
“Yeah, co on, get up.” Fang Yi reached out his hand, picked up Cai Cai, and settled her on the crossbar in front of the bike seat, directing her to hold onto the bicycle’s handlebars.
Then with a push, he headed out of the residential area.
It had to be said, Fang Yi riding a Phoenix brand bicycle to take Cai Cai to school was a rather cool sight.
You couldn’t see this kind of bicycle on the market anymore, so naturally it drew attention when it joined the throngs of electric scooters.
For Fang Yi, cycling dozens of miles wasn’t tiring at all.
After dropping off Cai Cai at the school gate, he glanced at his watch and said to himself, “This ti, I won’t be late, will I?”
Not only wasn’t he going to be late, but he also had so spare ti.
Fang Yi rode his bike leisurely, with a sightseeing attitude, towards the Longtu Building.
However, upon arriving at the building, he suddenly encountered a problem: others’ cars had parking spaces, but where should he park his bicycle?
Just then, a red Audi pulled up behind him.
The car door opened, and Shen Binnan got out.
“What are you doing?” Shen Binnan inquired.
Fang Yi was startled and turned around only to see Shen Binnan dressed in an OL suit.
Her black hair was twisted up, revealing her snow-white neck.
The flat-collared blazer was tailored perfectly, outlining her upper body’s curves which undulated dramatically.
Beneath that was her black skirt wrapping around her shapely posterior, her alabaster legs, and high-heeled shoes, making her appear tall and slender, embodying the powerful aura of a female executive.
“Not doing much, just enjoying the view,” Fang Yi replied.
Shen Binnan walked over and said, “You’re not looking at the scenery, you’re wondering where to park your flashy bike.”
Did this woman have a worm in my belly to guess right away?
Fang Yi, with his thick skin, readily admitted, “The one who knows , Miss Shen.
President Shen, you really have an astute mind and a sympathetic heart.”
Shen Binnan ignored his flattery and took out her phone to make a call.
Soon, soone ca running out from the building at top speed—it was Ma Haigang, the head of the security departnt.
“President Shen, how can I help you?
Please command .
I, Ma Haigang, would go through fire and water without hesitation,” Ma Haigang said in an oily manner.
Fang Yi, watching from the side, sowhat admired the man; he finally t soone who was even more shaless than him, this very man who could boast without the slightest blush.
Shen Binnan pointed at the bicycle and instructed, “This bike belongs to him.
Take it inside the lobby.”
Ma Haigang looked at Fang Yi in surprise and then quickly resud his obsequious smile, saying, “Don’t worry, President Shen.
With , Ma Haigang, taking care of this bicycle, you can be assured that it is in safe hands.”
Shen Binnan said no more and went straight towards the building.
Fang Yi patted Ma Haigang’s shoulder, “Thanks.”
After the two had left, Ma Haigang’s face soured.
Looking at the Phoenix brand bicycle, he muttered under his breath, “Damn, such bad luck.
I thought it was going to be an easy task, but it turns out, I have to move a bicycle.
This is just rotten!”
At that mont, a car stopped beside Ma Haigang.
He rolled down the window and Ma Haigang, seeing who was inside, imdiately went up to the car beaming, “Manager Zheng, good morning.”
Zheng Pengfei’s gaze landed on the bicycle and asked, “Whose bike is that?”
Ma Haigang casually replied, “Fang Yi’s.”
Zheng Pengfei simply acknowledged with an “Oh” and said, “Work hard,” and then drove off to the underground parking garage.
Ma Haigang felt a bit aggrieved and uttered another low curse.
Upstairs, Fang Yi and Shen Binnan went their separate ways; she proceeded to her office while he clocked in and headed to the Sales Departnt.
No sooner had he sat down than Huo Xiaoxuan approached him.
“Hey, you big pervert, how co you’re not late today?” Huo Xiaoxuan asked.
“I have a ‘divine artifact’; how could I possibly be late?” Fang Yi replied with disdain.
“Divine artifact?” Huo Xiaoxuan frowned, puzzled, but quickly dismissed it and then fluttered her big, watery, adorable eyes, saying, “Are you free this afternoon?
Help with sothing.”
Fang Yi slowly said, “I’m free any day—what do you need help with?”
Huo Xiaoxuan explained, “I have to et a boss who’s even more lecherous than you.
Can you co with ?
I’m afraid of being taken advantage of.”
“Er…” Fang Yi appeared to ponder seriously before replying, “Is there any benefit for ?”
