Three luxurious cars stood outside. A black limousine, a vibrant red sports car, and a sunny yellow roofless sedan.
The three Jiang brothers each went to their cars and opened the passenger doors like three perfect gentlemen.
Jiang Wei stood by his black limousine, Jiang Yue by the sports car, and Jiang Cheng by the roofless sedan.
Fang Ruoye and Luo Xianxian stared at the three luxurious cars, one more impressive than the other.
Jiang Wei frowned at his brothers.
"Obviously, Ruoye and Xianxian are coming with me. You two can follow us in your cars."
Jiang Yue and Jiang Cheng both clicked their tongues in displeasure.
"But Big Brother, we all miss Ruoye and Xianxian dearly. You must not monopolize them just because you are older!" Jiang Yue exclaimed.
"That's right!" Jiang Cheng readily agreed.
Jiang Wei rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"Either way, they are going to stay at my penthouse tonight. I will not take no for an answer."
Jiang Wei walked around his limousine and began dragging the two suitcases into his car.
The driver, aghast, gasped in utter bewilderment.
He quickly stepped out to help Jiang Wei with the suitcases.
"Mommy, I have never ridden a limousine before!" Luo Xianxian exclaimed in excitement.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Cheng scowled at each other. If they had known that it would turn this way, they would have brought their own limousines as well!
And so, Fang Ruoye and Luo Xianxian climbed into Jiang Wei's limousine and head toward the eldest Jiang brother's luxurious penthouse in the city's central commercial district.
"First of all, I want to know how you all find out about my divorce," Fang Ruoye said once they were comfortably seated inside the penthouse. Luo Xianxian was curled up against her mother's lap like a kitten.
"How? Well, Xianxian sent us a video recording of you, your ex-husband, and his mistress tonight," Jiang Wei answered.
"Huh???"
Fang Ruoye stared at her daughter, who beamed at her with an innocent smile on her face.
"Mommy, don't be mad," she said. "I didn't know what was going to happen, so I took a video just in case Daddy tried to hurt you and you needed a piece of evidence."
Jiang Cheng reached out and rubbed Luo Xianxian's head.
"Smart girl, smart girl! You have inherited Uncle Jiang Cheng's eye for detail!"
Jiang Wei cleared his throat.
"Jiang Cheng, you are not his father."
"Honestly, how do you all even stay in contact with my daughter? When did this start?" Fang Ruoye was genuinely baffled.
Luo Yanming was a jealous man. He did not like seeing Fang Ruoye around other men, not even her cousins.
Therefore, Fang Ruoye took the initiative to cease contact with the Jiang brothers to appease her husband. Looking back, it was a great mistake on her part. Luo Yanming turned out to be a disloyal spouse, not deserving of her love and devotion.
Having pushed the Jiang brothers aside in favor of his worthless husband, Fang Ruoye was overcome with guilt and shame. This was why she hesitated to ask for the Jiang brothers' help, no matter how many times they told her that she could always contact them whenever she needed them.
She preferred to put her life back together before resuming contact with the Jiang brothers
Having known Fang Ruoye since they were young children, the Jiang brothers easily guessed Fang Ruoye's train of thoughts.
They thus decided to keep in touch with the only other person in this world who always stayed by Fang Ruoye's side – her daughter.
"We simply found out her phone number and introduced ourselves," Jiang Wei explained. "At first, Xianxian is very suspicious of us. She even blocked our phone numbers ten times in total!"
"But then Uncle Jiang Wei sent pictures of Mommy and the other uncles from many years ago," Luo Xianxian piped up. "And I also saw their pictures in Mommy's laptop."
"Oh, you…"
Fang Ruoye shook her head with a smile. She then gave her daughter a flick on the forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me any of these?"
"Because we don't want you to forbid her from talking to us," Jiang Cheng explained. "That's why we had to sneak around behind you."
"Basically, it's all your fault, Ruoye," Jiang Yue summarized. "If only you ignore your stupid and jealous ex-husband, you won't be in this situation right now. Divorced, your best years wasted on a scum."
Fang Ruoye laughed.
"Awww, it isn't that bad, is it? Look at the bright side. I have a cute daughter by my side, and three handsome cousins who came to my rescue the moment I lost a roof above my head."
The Jiang brothers exchanged a round of glances with each other.
"It's late," Jiang Wei said after a while. "Ruoye, Xianxian, the guest room has already been prepared. Why don't you both rest for the night?"
