Chapter 472: Chapter 472 Flaunting Off One’s Riches Is Right

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[Life is only a few autumns], even with limited life experience, knows children emulate their parents.

His wife’s constant flaunting of wealth and mockery of other parents inevitably warped Hu Zi’s personality.

She further instilled twisted logic in him.

“Don’t be bullied; bully first. Fight back with your fists. If you start it, make them regret it. Money can handle the consequences.”

Chen Yu added, “Upon discovering the root of Hu Zi’s behavior, you suppressed your anger and had a serious talk with your wife.”

“You demanded she stop belittling other parents, forbid Hu Zi from bullying the other kids, and apologize to those she wronged.”

“You made her promise to address Hu Zi’s behavior through positive reinforcement.”

“Your wife readily agreed, but her actions spoke louder than words. She coached Hu Zi to lie and act to keep you unaware. He behaved before you, then did whatever he wanted when you’re gone.”

“When you discovered this deception, you issued an ultimatum: change or leave.”

“But you weren’t truly ruthless. Your feigned fierceness was meant to scare her straight, not evict them. You believed people could change.”

“This charade, however, backfired. Fearing expulsion, your wife took a drastic step—getting rid of Hu Zi.”

[Life is only a few autumns] was dumbfounded.

What woman had he married? How could she be capable of such cruelty?

To avoid eviction, she’d consider harming her own child?

“Unbelievable, right?” Chen Yu said calmly. “But it gets worse.”

“Your wife craved wealth and loathed poverty. Her well-being trumped everything else.”

“In her previous marriage, her mother-in-law needed life-saving surgery. Despite a high success rate, your wife refused to sell their house to cover the costs, even threatening divorce.”

“Her ex-husband’s pleas fell on deaf ears. Her husband even begged and knelt, but she remained unmoved.”

“The marriage ended in divorce, and she used child custody as leverage, demanding an additional 300,000 yuan to relinquish her rights to their son.”

“To save his mother, your wife’s ex-husband surrendered custody. Soon after, you were introduced, and blinded by her looks, you readily married her, oblivious to her past.”

Chen Yu’s following words etched a saying into [Life is only a few autumns]’s mind—a leopard never changes its spots.

[Life is only a few autumns]’s wife’s disdain for the poor and love for the rich remained ingrained.

There was no hope of correcting Hu Zi’s skewed worldview, either.

Fearing eviction, [Life is only a few autumns]’s wife decided to remove her obstacle—[Life is only a few autumns] himself.

Accustomed to bullying, Hu Zi would inevitably cause trouble without constant supervision.

With this in mind, [Life is only a few autumns] removed her from his company position a few years ago, assigning her to care for Hu Zi full-time.

Seizing the opportunity, your wife hired two thugs.

One rented a warehouse in the logistics area for a secret hideout, while the other kidnapped Hu Zi.

It was a staged disappearance.

For a month, your wife meticulously scouted the area, pinpointing security cameras along the route and near the chosen warehouse.

Once the plan unfolded, Hu Zi was snatched and locked away.

Knowing [Life is only a few autumns]’s strained relationship with Zhao Laoliu, his wife framed him.

She deliberately locked Hu Zi in a warehouse owned by Zhao Laoliu and then falsely accused him.

Her goal was a calculated disappearance. He’d vanish for a few days, leaving him in a state of despair.

Then, she’d plant clues suggesting Zhao Laoliu was behind the kidnapping. Given [Life is only a few autumns]’s temperament, he’d undoubtedly assemble a search party.

With Hu Zi recovered, [Life is only a few autumns]’s fury would naturally be directed at Zhao Laoliu.

Hundreds of workers under both bosses’ commands would escalate this into a full-blown brawl.

Even without fatalities, a significant number would be injured.

The result? A few short years wasted in prison, with [Life is only a few autumns]’s seafood business ripe for the taking.

The answer to who’d be in control of his company would be self-evident.

Speechless, [Life is only a few autumns] stared at his wife, aghast.

“You… you…”

This transcended selfishness; this was pure malice.

“I must admit,” Chen Yu said with a sardonic smile, “your planning and manipulation are impressive.”

“The moment you suspected I might intervene, you retreated into the shadows. Never showing your face.”

“Even when you offered suggestions, you avoided the camera.”

“Unfortunately, fate has a way of catching up. Now that the truth is out, your plan to negotiate with Zhao Laoliu is a smokescreen. You’re simply buying time to figure out damage control.”

“Inciting a bloody feud between [Life is only a few autumns] and Zhao Laoliu while simultaneously transferring assets while they’re incarcerated—not a bad strategy. But you underestimated me.”

The middle-aged woman trembled uncontrollably. Then, a hysterical scream erupted from her.

“He wants to kick me out for the sake of his pride! What kind of man is he?!” she shrieked.

“He wants to throw me out, so I’ll make sure he loses everything!”

“Rich people are inherently better than poor people; that’s just a fact! Sure, I like to show off my wealth, but what’s the harm?”

“Everyone does it these days, some even more excessively than me! If those parents had my resources, they’d probably flaunt them too!”

“If showing off wealth is wrong, why did the ancients say ‘wealth doesn’t return home, just like brocade clothes traveling at night’?”

Her outburst left everyone speechless.

There was a kernel of truth in her words. She could flaunt the fruits of her husband’s labor—the luxurious clothes and food he earned.

If her flaunting bothered them so much, they should strive to surpass her.

Without success, these people had no right to complain.

The millions of viewers watching the livestream were captivated by the debate.

Comments flooded the chat.

“Showing off wealth is a disease, and hating the rich is also a disease. What is normal?”

“Poor is normal.”

“There you have it—the perfect balance. Flaunting wealth and hating the rich!”

“Without flaunting wealth, how will the wannabe rich get motivated?”

“Sister-in-law, if you’re into showing off wealth, please use your money to slap my face!”

Chen Yu cast a glance at the rapid-fire comments before addressing the woman with a sneer.

“You’ll have ample time to ponder these philosophical questions in prison.”

“In five minutes, the police will arrive.”

“If I were you, I’d use that time to pack some essentials for your stay in the detention center. Remember, no metal objects, buttons, or drawstrings are allowed in your clothing..”
