Director Qian sat leisurely in his open-top cabin on the cruise ship. He finally had some free time today, taking his family out for a stroll.

His youngest son, six years old, was running around and making a ruckus nearby.

“Director Qian, long time no see!” Shane Yu greeted him with a smile.

Director Qian looked up and replied, “Isn’t this President Yu?”

Shane Yu thought to himself: He’s always been so cold, accepting gifts without hesitation.

“This happens to be our family cruise ship. We heard from our subordinates that you’ve graced us with your presence. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I, Shane Yu, always do my best for my friends!” Shane Yu said in a low voice.

Director Qian smiled, “President Yu, why are you being so polite? I’m just an ordinary person outside, no need for special treatment.”

“Ian Shen! Make sure to take good care of Director Qian and his family.” Shane Yu then instructed.

“Yes, Brother Yu!” Ian Shen met Shane Yu’s eyes and immediately went to give the order.

“Meeting is fate, everything’s on me today!” Shane Yu said softly.

Director Qian smiled and replied, “I’m out having fun, how could I let President Yu treat me?”

Shane Yu patted Director Qian on the shoulder, “I’ve cleared this floor, there are no outsiders here. Director Qian and your family have a good time! I won’t disturb you any longer!” Shane Yu said with a smile, then turned and left.

Director Qian watched Shane Yu walk away, then called a waiter and had all the expensive dishes he usually couldn’t afford brought out.

On the surface, Shane Yu is the owner of a logistics company. Privately, he owns many businesses, such as this luxury cruise ship, a well-known five-star hotel, real estate, a bodyguard company, an advertising company, etc… He’s involved in many areas, and he entrusts all these businesses to Alex Xie to manage; he’s the behind-the-scenes boss. He’s only being so open about it to show Director Qian, who’s prone to taking advantage, his strength.

After finishing his conversation, Shane Yu walked towards the restaurant, his mind wandering, always unconsciously thinking of Sharon Yao.

As Shane Yu stepped out of the elevator, he witnessed the scene on the restaurant’s terrace: his third wife was embracing and even kissing another man!

A surge of intense anger welled up within him. This woman was someone he had bought with his own money! She came from a poor family, had a younger brother, and her family held deeply ingrained patriarchal views, resulting in her extremely low status and a miserable life.

We first met in Velas, Shengcheng, at an auction. She was being auctioned as a “commodity,” a product called “First Time.” Shane Yu was immediately captivated by her fresh and refined beauty, and in 2005, he purchased her for a high price—over 300,000 yuan.

Back then, I truly loved her. Whenever she needed money, I would give it to her without hesitation. When her brother couldn’t afford school, I would proactively cover his tuition. You could say I not only supported her, but her entire family depended on me. Every month, I would regularly send them child support. What could I do? I loved her.

However, as time went by, our feelings for each other gradually faded. But even so, that was absolutely no excuse for her cheating on me! I absolutely cannot tolerate any woman’s betrayal!

He was furious, rushing over in three strides and punching and kicking the man. Then he grabbed his third wife, Cindy Xu, and slapped her across the face.

“Ah!” Cindy Xu screamed in fright.

Shane Yu’s face instantly turned serious. Looking at his third wife, Cindy Xu, whom he had just slapped, he asked, “Do you want to explain?”

“Shane Yu, listen to me, I…we…” Cindy Xu tried to explain, but didn’t know how to begin.

The man who had been slapped stood up, protecting Cindy Xu, glaring angrily at Shane Yu: “So what if you have a little money? What are you so arrogant about? We are the ones who truly love each other!”

Shane Yu burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. “True love? She eats my food and drinks my water. I not only support her, but her whole family. Maybe you, you bastard, are even being supported by me!” The words “true love” stung Shane Yu, because he remembered a young punk named Chris He saying that he and Sharon Yao were truly in love!

“Shane Yu, please let us go! I’ll find a way to pay you back the money you spent on me,” Cindy Xu said, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs.

Shane Yu roared sternly. “Cindy Xu, do you really think I, Shane Yu, am a philanthropist?”

“Shane Yu, I’m sorry…” Cindy Xu knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking at Shane Yu.

Shane Yu’s anger now stemmed more from the feeling of being mocked. He quickly grabbed a restaurant chair, his eyes bloodshot, and began to beat the bastard in front of him until the chair shattered.

Cindy Xu trembled with fear as she looked at Shane Yu. She tried to stop him, but a single look from Shane Yu made her legs go weak.

Because the fighting was quite loud, Alex Xie and Ian Shen immediately ran over. Alex Xie instructed the restaurant security guards to disperse the crowd of onlookers.

“Go somewhere else to have fun! We’ll give out meal vouchers later to compensate everyone,” the security guard said, dispersing several couples outside the restaurant.

“Shane Yu, stop fighting! I beg you! I’m so sorry!” Cindy Xu pleaded earnestly.

Shane Yu, tired from fighting, grabbed a chair and sat down to calm himself. He coldly said, “Screw your ‘sorry,’ how long have you been with him?”

“A month!” Cindy Xu cried.

Shane Yu sneered, his eyes cold and devoid of emotion: “When did you meet him?”

“He’s my ex-boyfriend. My family wouldn’t let us be together because he’s poor. I met him a month ago, and that’s how it happened… Shane Yu, I’m so sorry. If you’re angry, take it out on me. I was pathetic, I’m so sorry!”

“You even brought the cruise tickets I gave you here. Cindy Xu, you look so innocent and lovely, yet you act so promiscuous. If you liked him, you could have just told me! Aren’t you tired of spending the last month with two men? Even if you aren’t, I still find you disgusting.” Shane Yu’s words were full of sarcasm, like knives stabbing straight into Cindy Xu’s heart.

“Waaah~ I’m sorry!” Cindy Xu apologized again.

I came out after hearing the sounds of fighting, and saw the angry Uncle Shane Yu and his third wife, and a man covered in blood.

From their conversation, I understood some of what was going on.

“How do you plan to pay me back?” Shane Yu then asked. “I’ve spent tens of millions on you over the years, and this guy you’re dating, can he even come up with ten thousand yuan now?” Shane Yu couldn’t help but sneer at the man’s impoverished appearance.

His eyes were filled with disdain for the two of them, as if he were looking at a vermin. The thought of Cindy Xu, this innocent woman, having cheated on him for a month filled Shane Yu with nausea; he wanted nothing more than to throw her into the sea to feed the fish.

“I’m sorry…” Cindy Xu cried, apologizing.

“I can allow you two to be together. I acknowledge the money I spent on you, since you slept with me too.” He sneered, like a demon, ruthlessly trampling on Cindy Xu’s dignity.

“But as for the money I spent on your family, I’ll make a list later. You need to pay it back within a week, then we’re even. Get out of my villa right now. Oh, and if you really can’t pay, I can give you to Mr. Hu to settle the debt.”

Shane Yu stood up and turned to leave.

Cindy Xu grabbed Shane Yu’s sleeve excitedly. “Shane Yu, please give me some time, I can’t pay back the money within a week…”

Seeing her touch his clothes, Shane Yu kicked her. “Don’t touch me, I find you disgusting. If you can’t pay back the money within a week, that’s your own problem. Anyway, Mr. Hu likes you a lot, why don’t you go keep him company?”

Then he glared at Cindy Xu with a fierce look, his gaze like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
