[Previously]

Butler Zhou: ".......it's like this, the eldest young master is at home, and has opened a leisure....leisure club."

Wei TianYi was furious when he heard this: "Nonsense! And my wife didn't stop him?!"

Butler Zhou: ".......it's like this, the first wave of customers of the eldest young master's leisure club are the madame's friends."

Wei TianYi: "......."

====================================================

Wei TianYi exploded: "Every single one of them. Every single one is getting more and more out of line!"

Even his perfectly fine Shu WanRong has become a member of this pig parade!

To be honest, Wei TianYi really wanted to lose his temper. His expression immediately darkened further after hearing butler Zhou's answer.

But he's always been a man who kept his face and maintained a calm facade. However now, in the courtyard sat a woman surrounded by people who've lost their faces, and even including many neighbors from the same community. It didn't matter how angry he is, he cannot lose his temper in front of these people. His only choice was to desperately hold it back.

The sounds of women laughing came from the courtyard and shook his spirit to the core, and now Wei TianYi was turning purple-faced from holding it inside. What a bunch of idiots, he thought, losing their minds at the mere mention of a leisure club. With WeiXi's current generosity, not beating someone up was already good enough, what kind of leisure can he provide? And with a full-time housewife like Shu WanRong who was stupidly rich, stayed at home everyday with nothing better to do and held a narrow outlook, only she would believe his lies.

He heard something suddenly squeak behind him, the courtyard door he didn't have a chance to close yet was pushed open again.

Wei TianYi turned back and immediately changed his expression to greet the guests: "President Liu, President Wang, President Zheng, why are you all here?"

The men who stood outside were all his friends from the business world, each were extraordinary and each famous in their respective professional fields."

It looked to him that this group of executives just got off work and hadn't had the time to change out of their suits. They also seemed very happy to see him as well, as President Liu responded with a smile: "Aiyah, President Wei, you're home as well?"

Wei TianYi felt a bit lost hearing this: "You all aren't here for me?"

President Liu laughed: "No no, I wouldn't want to disturb you when you're off work. My wife and I just bought your TaiCang Sect health club membership and came to get some rest and recuperation."

Wei TianYi: "......."

　　***

Wei TianYi's mental state was about to collapse and he refused to talk to WeiXi for several days, even throwing a little tantrum and moving his things over to a house in the suburbs for a few days. But as a result, perhaps it was the first-night effect*, he spent every night staring at the ceiling above his bed. Yet as soon as he returned home, for some reason he started falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Even the quality of his sleep seemed better than it had been in the last few decades combined. And so, he felt even more ashamed to have to go home for a good night's sleep. But he still remained defiant. For example, every day he would set his alarm and get up angrily before the crack of dawn and rush out to work, completely avoiding the risk of running into his family.
