The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Tsk tsk~

"So you came back to incite your sister to get a divorce?"

While they were cuddling, Dai Xi revealed the reason for her return.

Chen Cheng even pretended to be an outsider and asked about her family situation.

Last night? They were too busy to chat.

"Why do you call it inciting?" Dai Xi lifted her chin, which was becoming increasingly rosy and radiant.

Chen Cheng was speechless. "Your sister's marriage—even though you're a relative, do you think you should interfere?"

"Just because she didn't give birth to a boy, her mother-in-law has never looked at her properly. She hasn't had love with her useless husband for a long time, and she lives so repressed. Why shouldn't she get a divorce?"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her. "She's lived a life of luxury, can't even cook at fifty, and spends every day playing mahjong and dancing."

"You call that kind of life repressed?"

"Are you alright?"

Dai Xi was immediately unhappy. She sat up straight and glared at Chen Cheng with her lively eyes. "What do you mean? You don't agree with me?"

You have to admit, her eyes were really quite beautiful, with a certain spark in them.

Chen Cheng scoffed, "That goes without saying."

"Now that your brother-in-law has gone bankrupt, you're inciting your sister to divorce him?"

"According to what you said, there isn't a single normal breadwinner in their family."

"The ones who should be at school are at school, the ones who should be idle are idle; the whole family is just living off their savings."

"Now you want your sister to divorce and go to Italy with you."

"In the end, have you thought about who will clean up this mess?"

"Debts of the father are paid by the children~"

"In the end, won't that just ruin your niece's life?"

Dai Xi shook her head. "I was planning to take her with us."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. Although he knew how ruthless she could be.

But when she actually did it right in front of you, it was still quite shocking.

He thought for a moment and continued, "Then do you think your niece can just abandon her father, who has suddenly fallen into such misfortune, and her grandmother, who is nearly eighty?"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her in frustration. "If you do that, your sister might be comfortable."

"But your niece will be miserable."

"If she goes to Italy with you, abandoning her own father and grandmother..."

"The gossip could drown her, and the criticism would break her back."

"She would never be able to hold her head up in her familiar circles again. You'd be cutting her off at the roots."

"If she doesn't go to Italy with you, on one side she has crushing debt, and on the other, two elderly people who need to be supported."

"In a few more years, wait until the Old Madam can no longer take care of herself."

"And your brother-in-law will also be at the age where he needs support."

"Just see if that doesn't drive your niece crazy."

Writing this, the author finally felt how disgusting Dai Yin was.

An eighty-year-old mother-in-law—you don't care about her, you want to send her to a nursing home. You two dislike each other, so sending her to a nursing home could be considered doing your duty.

But Jiang Nansun said she wanted to stay behind; she couldn't bear to send her grandmother to a nursing home.

And Dai Yin still went to Italy with such peace of mind?

She even 'started dating' and began the new life she had always dreamed of.

She really didn't consider her own daughter at all.

If Dai Xi is ruthless, then Dai Yin is truly the older sister, and even more so.

No matter what, Dai Xi is an outsider to the Old Madam and Jiang Pengfei. She only needs to consider her sister in whatever she does.

But you, Dai Yin, and Jiang Nansun are mother and daughter.

You just watch your own daughter carry the burden of huge debts?

Watching her work to make money to pay off debts, while also taking care of an increasingly incapacitated elderly person?

How are you able to be so at peace with yourself?

Dai Xi didn't seem to care about what Chen Cheng said. "Just send them both to a nursing home."

"The elderly care industry is becoming more and more developed now, so there's no need to worry about abuse or anything like that."

Chen Cheng clicked his tongue in speechlessness; he could only say she was impressive.

"Are you going to pay for it? For two elderly people, a nursing home starts at 200,000 to 300,000 a year."

"How much is a college graduate's salary these days?"

"If it all goes to the nursing home, how are they supposed to live?"

Seeing that he didn't agree with her at all, Dai Xi also got angry. "I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it. What's the big deal?"

Chen Cheng was taken aback—a rich woman indeed, speaking so boldly.

He thought about it and then understood. When Dai Xi was young, she started a business with Ye Jinyan, and she only left because her philosophy didn't align with Tang Xin's.

When she left Company Name back then, she probably still held quite a few shares.

It's unclear if she still has them now, but at the very least, she likely had them before leaving Company Name.

Living in a castle in Italy, with gardeners and housekeepers, she really is a rich woman.

For the first time, Chen Cheng felt he couldn't win the argument. Her line, 'I'll pay for it, so I'll pay for it,' completely shut him down.

I have money, and I just want my sister to pursue her ideal life in her later years.

Let her see the world and cleanse her soul while she can still walk.

Where am I wrong?

Chen Cheng angrily threw off the quilt, got out of bed, put on his bathrobe, and walked towards the bathroom.

This is just a difference in values; they aren't on the same page.

He couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.

Dai Xi watched his back and blinked her eyes. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he ignored her, Dai Xi pouted and rolled out of bed to chase after him.

She hugged Chen Cheng from behind as he stood in front of the mirror squeezing toothpaste. She pressed her cheek against his back, her voice becoming soft and sweet. "Little man, are you angry?"

Chen Cheng frowned, his mouth full of toothpaste foam. "Little?"

A faint smile played on the corners of Dai Xi's mouth. She turned his shoulders to face her and casually untied the belt of his bathrobe.

A smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face; he put down his toothbrush and cursed.

"Stoking the fire~"

Dai Xi didn't care at all about him cursing; she picked up her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth.

Just like that, the two of them brushed their teeth.

I don't know how much time passed, but Dai Xi washed off the facial mask she had been wearing for over ten minutes.

Looking in the mirror, she stared blankly at her increasingly fair and smooth skin.

She muttered to herself, "Can it really improve your complexion?"

For a moment, Dai Xi's thoughts raced, and she couldn't wait to verify it again.

While cursing verbally, her eyes were full of charm.

Recalling the moment, a smile appeared on her lips...
