Chapter 18

Yunding Mountain Resort, located at the prime position of Yunding Mountain in Zhonghai, stands at an altitude of 900 meters, with a well-protected and auspicious location.

It once had the potential to become the most prestigious wealthy neighborhood in Zhonghai.

Many years ago, Tang Sanguo was one of the developers of this resort, but unfortunately, a certain incident caused the project to run out of funds and halt construction.

Yunding Mountain Resort ultimately became a half-finished project.

Although the Tang family might never be able to restart Yunding Mountain Resort in this lifetime, everyone knew that the Tangs often talked about it.

It was their chance to rise to the top tier of Zhonghai's elite families.

It also became a thorn in the Tang family's heart.

So Tang Ruoxue used it to attack Ye Fei.

After Tang Ruoxue proposed her conditions, the Tang family dispersed, leaving with mocking smiles.

How could Ye Fei, a man who married into the family, achieve what the Tang family had spent their entire lives trying to accomplish?

Ye Fei cooked himself a bowl of noodles, ate until he was full, and then went to the rooftop garden to clear his mind.

Tang Ruoxue was tired of living with him, so Ye Fei proactively proposed a divorce.

This wasn't about defending his dignity; it was about preserving the Tang family's reputation.

No matter how much Tang Ruoxue disliked and looked down on him, Ye Fei didn't want her to be criticized for being ungrateful.

However, he didn't expect the Tang family to not appreciate his good intentions and instead make increasingly harsh demands out of pride.

In the past, the name "Yunding Mountain Resort" would have made Ye Fei feel hopeless, but at this moment, it couldn't stir his emotions at all.

"Wait and see, I will definitely build Yunding Mountain Resort."

A glint of determination flashed in Ye Fei's eyes.

He stayed on the rooftop for an hour, then composed himself and went downstairs.

When Ye Fei, after taking a shower, walked into the living room, Tang Ruoxue in the inner room suddenly raised her voice: "Lin Huanhuan, Yang Jingshao, are we meeting at Sunshine Club tomorrow?"

"No problem, I'll definitely make time."

"But you should bring a few handsome guys, I've been working like a dog these past few months."

"Seeing a few handsome guys will be refreshing, or some young and fresh faces would do too..." The woman's playful laughter and clear words reached Ye Fei's ears, intentionally or unintentionally stimulating his nerves.

Tang Ruoxue noticed Ye Fei entering the living room, turned around, and slammed the inner wooden door shut.

The two were separated.

Ye Fei slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling a vague sense of annoyance, but quickly suppressed it... That night, the two seemed to be at peace, but neither slept soundly.

So when Lin Qiuling's shouting was heard in the morning, the young couple almost simultaneously got out of bed.

Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue came to the door and saw Lin Qiuling and Tang Sanguo, who had risen early, examining the Rolex Ye Fei had brought back.

They were clicking their tongues in amazement.

"Ah, whose Rolex is this?

Why is it just left in the foyer?"

Lin Qiuling stared at the Rolex: "It looks so new, it must have been just bought. Whose watch is it?"

Although the Tang family had an annual income of several million, Tang Sanguo and Lin Qiuling were always reluctant to spend money on consumables.

Apart from buying houses, antiques, saving money, and expanding the Chunfeng Clinic, they hardly spent much on eating, drinking, or entertainment.

So the four cars in the garage were all mid-to-low-end, and Tang Ruoxue's BMW was only worth about 400,000.

Therefore, seeing a Rolex worth several hundred thousand in the foyer, Lin Qiuling's expression became inexplicably excited.

Ye Fei hesitated and managed to say, "Mom, this watch..."

Lin Qiuling's eyes gleamed as she looked at Tang Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, did you buy this watch for your father?"

Tang Ruoxue laughed bitterly: "Mom, this watch must cost several hundred thousand. My salary card is with you, would you not know if there was a large transaction?"

"That's true, apart from giving the ungrateful wolf 10,000 yuan every month, you don't have any major expenses."

Lin Qiuling retracted her gaze and then her eyes lit up: "If it's not you, and not me or your father, it must be your brother-in-law who bought it."

"If your brother-in-law bought it for himself, he would wear it directly. There's no need to put it in a box and leave it in the foyer."

"It must be your brother-in-law who bought it for your father."

She looked pleased: "Jianfeng is such a good boy."

Tang Sanguo's eyes also lit up, and he put the watch on his wrist, smiling: "Oh, it fits perfectly, it must be for me."

Ye Fei's scalp tingled, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

"Jianfeng, Jianfeng."

At this moment, Lin Qiuling shouted upstairs: "Is this Rolex you bought for your father?"

As she shouted, Han Jianfeng and Tang Fenghua, who had been yawning, pushed open the door and came out.

They had drunk a lot last night and stayed at the Tang family's house.

Tang Fenghua rubbed her eyes: "Mom, what watch?"

"What watch?"

Lin Qiuling deliberately put on a stern face: "Trying to surprise your father, right?"

"Rolex."

Tang Sanguo raised his wrist and said in a leisurely tone: "You really bought so many supplements and a Rolex. That's a bit extravagant, isn't it?"

He seemed to be complaining but was actually delighted: "Don't do that next time."

Ye Fei opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Tang Ruoxue glanced at Ye Fei, her face somewhat melancholy. When would Ye Fei have the ability to buy a watch worth several hundred thousand for his parents?

"Rolex?"

Han Jianfeng shivered, exchanged a glance with Tang Fenghua, and then rushed over, staring at the Rolex on Tang Sanguo's wrist in surprise.

This watch wasn't bought by him.

He had already spent over 50,000 on supplements yesterday, how could he afford a Rolex worth several hundred thousand?

"Jianfeng, still pretending?"

"You can go for the Best Actor award."

Lin Qiuling smiled brightly: "No need to pretend you don't know. This watch wasn't bought by us or you. Did it fall from the sky?"

"We can guess you wanted to surprise your father."

"You always like to play these superficial games."

Her tone was filled with indulgence, a stark contrast to her attitude towards Ye Fei.

Tang Ruoxue glanced at Ye Fei again, secretly sighing that it would be great if this watch was bought by Ye Fei.

Unfortunately, Ye Fei even had to ask her for medical expenses.

These past two days, he had even proactively proposed a divorce to defend his meager dignity.

"Mom and Dad are wise."

Hearing Lin Qiuling's words, Han Jianfeng's eyes darted around, then he laughed: "I knew I couldn't fool you."

"I wanted to tell you later to give you a big surprise, but you found out so quickly."

"Father, I was wrong at the birthday banquet, so this Rolex is a token of my apology."

Han Jianfeng gave Tang Fenghua a look: "I hope you like it, Dad."

Tang Fenghua immediately chimed in: "Yes, after the banquet, Jianfeng has been feeling guilty. Dad, please accept it, or Jianfeng will feel bad."

"We've never blamed Jianfeng; he was deceived."

Lin Qiuling patted Tang Sanguo's shoulder: "Old Tang, Jianfeng has a filial heart, accept it."

"Accept it, accept it."

Tang Sanguo laughed, shaking his wrist, the gold gleaming: "Jianfeng, you're very good, very good."

Ye Fei was about to turn and leave to avoid the awkwardness.

"Jianfeng is certainly good."

Lin Qiuling glanced at Ye Fei: "Compared to a certain ungrateful wolf, he's ten times, a hundred times better."

"How can there be such a big difference between two sons-in-law?"

"One has never shown filial piety, and is proud of a small achievement, while the other is full of filial piety, spending real money to make his parents happy."

"Why are you leaving? Learn from your brother-in-law."

"When will you buy a watch for your parents?"

Lin Qiuling stopped Ye Fei: "If you can't afford several hundred thousand, a few thousand will do."

"Mom, does Ye Fei have that much money?"

Tang Ruoxue frowned: "Besides, Ye Fei has already reclaimed two million and signed a ten million contract..."

"That's what he should do, or why would we feed him?"

Lin Qiuling showed no kindness to Ye Fei: "As for filial piety, what has he ever bought for us?"

"He barely got lucky with the ginseng fruit, and he kept it all to himself."

"If you have filial piety, buy a watch worth ten thousand for me. No more excuses."

She looked at Ye Fei with disdain: "Ye Fei, can you afford it?"

Tang Ruoxue wanted to say more, but seeing Ye Fei's silence, she felt a surge of anger.

Wasn't he all talk about divorce last night?

Why is he now acting like a coward?

He can't even promise a watch worth ten thousand?

"Let's not talk about him, it's boring."

Tang Sanguo lifted the Rolex: "Come, look at this watch."

Lin Qiuling and the others ignored Ye Fei, smiling as they gathered to admire the watch.

"Hey, why aren't the hands moving?"

Tang Sanguo suddenly noticed the hands were stuck at around 7 PM last night, when Ye Fei returned: "Is it not wound?"

Han Jianfeng frowned: "It shouldn't be."

After a series of attempts, the Rolex still didn't move.

Lin Qiuling frowned: "Is it broken?"

Tang Sanguo shook his head: "How could it be?

This is a Rolex, the latest model, worth several hundred thousand. It can't break easily."

The four of them studied the Rolex, and Han Jianfeng even found the foreign language manual to see how to start it.

But no matter what they did, the Rolex remained still.

Tang Sanguo was furious, wanting to show it off today, but the Rolex had stopped working.

Han Jianfeng was even angrier: "I'll complain, I'll complain. How dare they sell me a broken watch."

Ye Fei couldn't stand it anymore, walked over, and picked up the Rolex.

Lin Qiuling and the others were shocked: "Ungrateful wolf, put it down, it's your brother-in-law's watch."

"Let go, let go, can you afford to replace a watch worth several hundred thousand?"

Tang Ruoxue was about to pull Ye Fei away, as her parents were in a bad mood and might vent their anger on him.

Ye Fei didn't speak, just picked up the Rolex and lightly pressed his thumb on the fingerprint sensor at the bottom.

"Beep, beep, beep..." The Rolex started moving.

Tang Sanguo was shocked: "How did you start it?"

"This watch is mine."

The air suddenly became dead silent...
