CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 605 EXTORTION

Fang Xiaohui glared, "Big brother, I ask you to be more like a man. How did you spend those 5000 yuan? The money is gone just like that? I’m just an ordinary person too; how much do I earn in a month? You can’t just come to me every time you’re out of money."

Infuriated, yet Fang Xiaohui still couldn’t afford to offend Fang Peizhong.

After all, Peizhong was involved in the earlier incident and knows too much about the details.

That Brother Yong was never caught by the police, and who knows where he is now. Those photos, Fang Xiaohui couldn’t get back either.

Who knows when this ticking time bomb will explode!

The happy family of Fang Xiaohui couldn’t be destroyed by such a reason.

Fang Peizhong smirked shamelessly.

"Xiao Hui, don’t say that. We’re collaborating with each other here, and as an elder brother, I feel for you as a sister. There are things I’ll take to my grave without saying, but you, my sister, should know how to behave, right?"

Dare to refuse money?

No way!

Fang Xiaohui isn’t even my real sister, enjoying the benefits of the Fang family yet now wants to live her own good life.

No chance.

"So, how much do you want this time?"

Fang Xiaohui knew that Fang Peizhong would definitely make a big demand again; he’s someone insatiable, and if this continues, she’s bound to be driven crazy by Fang Peizhong.

Fang Peizhong chuckled, "That’s my good sister, not much, just 5000 yuan."

"Big brother, I’m not running a bank. You open your mouth and ask for 5000 yuan, where am I supposed to get that for you?"

Fang Xiaohui was furious.

And he dares to ask for it.

Fang Peizhong laughed, "I’m really in need of money, sister, 5000 yuan isn’t much. Although you’re not running a bank, you have skills. There’s nothing I can do; your brother is just useless and can only rely on his sister for help."

He’s no fool; last time, Fang Xiaohui pawned so many pieces of jewelry, obviously of obscure origin.

If Fang Xiaohui could get them once, she certainly could get them again; why shouldn’t he take this money?

"I’ll give you three days. I’ll come to you for the money then, and if you don’t have it, don’t blame me for going to have drinks and chats with your husband. If I get drunk and can’t hold my tongue, who knows what might slip out."

It was a blatant threat.

Fang Xiaohui was furious but helpless.

Now, her mother-in-law had discovered a problem with the jewelry box, and they weren’t living in the same house. Even if she wanted to steal jewelry from her mother-in-law, it was impossible.

She was at her wit’s end with the 5000 yuan; their combined savings weren’t much.

Primarily because Song Mohuan was a young master used to living lavishly, how could he have the concept of saving money? Even if she could save a little, it would only be a few hundred yuan at best.

Which was far short of 5000 yuan.

Fang Xiaohui was quite troubled.

She was almost at the point of having murderous thoughts.

"I got it. You can come for the money then."

Once Fang Peizhong got the surety, he left with a joyful smile.

Instead of going home, Fang Peizhong took a ride directly to see his lover.

Since returning to the city with Liu Hongmei, she’s been constantly busy with the twins and taking care of his bedridden mother, Ye Hua. There was no time for intimacy, and he was never interested in Liu Hongmei anyway; their characters and temperaments weren’t compatible.

Originally, he just went along with Liu Hongmei because he needed someone to tend to him and lend a hand in the countryside.

But who would have thought she’d cling to him and not leave?

After returning to the city, Fang Peizhong had met someone who shared the same feelings, and they naturally hit it off.

He preferred intelligent, cultured, and artistic young women.

Not someone like Liu Hongmei, a housewife who only knows about household matters.

But his beloved artistic young woman’s taste requires money to maintain—coffee, steak, movies, clothes. How could someone like him put up a proud facade without money?

Besides, his lover didn’t even know he was married, and the two were a perfect match; she’s been hinting at introducing him to her parents these days.

Fang Peizhong decided to pacify her first.

Why meet the parents?

The most crucial point is that this artistic young woman is carrying his child. Despite his own shortcomings, Fang Peizhong inherited his mother’s preference for boys over girls.

His biggest wish is to have a son.

Liu Hongmei now spends her days lying in bed like a dead fish after her chores, with no interest. He doesn’t even want to touch her, let alone have a son with her.

Now his sweetheart is pregnant, and if it’s a boy, no matter what, it has to be born.

He thought about divorcing Liu Hongmei, but he didn’t have the guts. Liu Hongmei had leverage over him.

If the truth came out, who knows what might happen to him.

Fang Peizhong directly went to Suyun’s place.

It’s the apartment he rented for the one he loved.

The two of them had a love nest there.

He bought a lot of good things and headed straight home, but didn’t notice a tail following him.

Was Fang Xiaohui a pushover?

If she didn’t want to hand over the 5000 yuan, she naturally had to find a way to handle Fang Peizhong.

She was also curious where all Fang Peizhong’s money was going and needed to catch him with something incriminating.

Otherwise, Fang Peizhong would get used to demanding money from her, asking astronomically again and again, until one day she would be driven mad by him.

How smart Fang Xiaohui was, she would naturally think of a once-and-for-all solution.

As soon as Fang Peizhong left, she promptly asked for leave from the head nurse and followed him all the way to this place.

Watching as Fang Peizhong and a young pregnant woman affectionately entered the building, Fang Xiaohui even followed them upstairs, seeing Fang Peizhong enter one of the apartments, she immediately understood.

It seemed Fang Peizhong was keeping a woman outside.

No wonder he was spending money lavishly, and the 5000 yuan disappeared so quickly, all spent on this woman.

Fang Xiaohui quickly came up with an idea; wasn’t Fang Peizhong something?

Let’s see how you handle having two women!

Surely, Liu Hongmei wasn’t aware of this. Although Fang Xiaohui hadn’t interacted much with her,

she knew very well that Liu Hongmei was a person with a narrow mind, someone with sinister intentions.

What would happen if Liu Hongmei learned that Fang Peizhong was fooling around outside?

She wanted to see if Fang Peizhong could continue to live so carefree.

He even got the woman pregnant; this was a conduct issue. Heh, now with the crackdown, they talk about hooliganism charges; let’s see if Fang Peizhong could withstand such accusations.

Fang Xiaohui turned around and went to the Fang family.

Liu Hongmei and the others couldn’t afford to rent a place, so of course, they lived at the Fang family home. Now, Ye Hua needed care.

Life at home was becoming increasingly difficult, and hiring a maid was unaffordable, so besides work, Liu Hongmei had to care for the bedridden patient when she got home.

Naturally, the main caregiving responsibility still fell on Fang Zhiyuan.
