It wasn't until her mother, Kusami Kaori, passed the bar exam and used her savings from earlier years to establish her own private law firm, and won several successful cases, that she found her place in the industry.

This family, which had been steadily falling into the abyss, finally stopped sliding. Although they could not return to their former glory, they were not destroyed either, and the family was completely torn apart.

But now, Kusamizuki has changed her mind. If her mother continues to stay here, her father, having acquired a large sum of money, might want to pull off another big heist.

Furthermore, without her as a buffer in the family, her parents would inevitably have even more intense conflicts. She could not bear to see her mother with that man who had a serious tendency to abuse her. She had seen her mother's pitiful appearance when she was beaten and covered in bruises. Even when she was bruised and swollen, her mother still comforted her, who was already crying out in fear.

Kusamizuki was originally a cheerful girl, but family misfortunes took so much from her that for a long time she seemed like a listless, emotionless girl. It wasn't that she wanted to act cool; rather, severe psychological trauma nearly robbed her of the ability to express her feelings to the outside world.

However, Li Wei's appearance dispelled the darkest night of her life. Li Wei was like the sun, able to push away all darkness. Li Wei's love for her also pulled her out of the abyss, making her realize that in this world, besides her mother, there are still people who will treat her unconditionally well.

Now, all she wants is to leave with her mother. As for her father, whether he lives or dies is no longer important. A man who can beat her and her mother at will is not worthy of being her father.

With the ability to read minds, Li Wei looked into the girl's thoughts and sighed inwardly. If she hadn't met him, Kusamizuki's future would still be uncertain. This lovely girl had already endured too much. Now, he only wanted to give her all his love and heal her emotional wounds.

As for taking her mother away, that was a piece of cake for Li Wei. Although Kusanagi's mother was a great beauty, he had no desire for her whatsoever. This strong mother had earned his respect.

If Kusami Kaori hadn't taken responsibility, she could have simply run back to her family. As long as she was willing to admit her mistake, she would still be the young lady of a prominent family. However, for Kusami Tsuki's sake, she chose the most difficult path.

Kusami Kaori's original name was Hashi Kaori, and the Hashi family's original surname was Tokugawa. Kusami Kaori's father was incredibly lucky to win her heart. As the eldest daughter of the main family, even though she has been married twice, she is still the apple of her parents' eye. However, the price for doing so is giving up Kusami Kaori, who is considered a "burden."

It is precisely because of this that Li Wei admires Kusanagi's mother so much. She could have gone back to being a pampered young lady, but for her daughter's sake, she chose to resume her studies and even passed the bar exam, which shows her mother's determination and hard work.

Despite severing ties with her family and receiving no support, she worked, studied, and managed household chores while still managing to pass the bar exam. This kind of strong woman deserves our respect. It just goes to show how powerful maternal love can be, turning the impossible into the possible.

Li Wei embraced Kusami Tsuki and said softly, "I will look into your family situation, Tsuki. If things are really as you say, then I will take your mother-in-law away. She is your mother, and she is also my mother. In our area, a mother-in-law is also a mother."

Li Wei is from Sichuan and Chongqing. According to the customs of the Sichuan and Chongqing area, one's father-in-law and mother-in-law are also considered one's parents. Therefore, according to the customs of the Sichuan and Chongqing people, it is perfectly acceptable for Li Wei to call Kusanagi's mother "Mom".

The white cloud stopped on top of the detached house of the Kusamizuki family, eventually settling in the courtyard. The size of the white cloud could be controlled by Li Wei and changed at will. It would become larger when there were more people, and when there were only two people, the size of the white cloud was only the size of a car.

The two had just jumped down from the clouds and their feet had just touched the lawn when they heard the sound of things being smashed coming from inside the house, along with a man's cursing and a woman's screams.

Kusami Tsuki's expression changed, and she said, "Oh no, they've started fighting!"

Li Wei had already sensed the situation inside the room through his divine sense, but he didn't say anything and simply followed Kusamizuki's footsteps.

Two men barged into the house. In the living room, a tall, strong man with a severe beer belly and a balding head kicked a mature, beautiful woman in a business suit who looked to be only in her thirties to the ground. He stomped on her back hard while cursing various filthy words.

"Damn it! I'm not going out to seduce prostitutes. I just want to make a comeback. What's wrong with taking some money to start a small business?! What right do you have to tell me what to do?!" The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot. He was holding a beer bottle in his hand and swung it down at the back of the head of the mature beauty lying on the ground.

"Stop!" Kusami Tsuki shouted, her sharp voice cracking.

She rushed forward, trying to push her father away, but the middle-aged man slapped her across the face, knocking her to the ground. A bright red handprint was left on Kusami Tsuki's cute face, which immediately began to swell.

The middle-aged man, looking at Li Wei behind Kusanagi who had fallen to the ground, said with bloodshot eyes, "You little bitch, I paid for your education, and you've learned to rebel against me? And you even brought back some wild man who-knows-where. You've got guts, haven't you!"

Li Wei, who possesses the ability to read minds, knows that this man is already in a semi-mad state. Long-term alcoholism and gambling have broken his spirit. Moreover, he is lying. He didn't use the money to start a small business at all, but to go to the pachinko parlor to play pachinko.

Pachinko is gambling disguised as gambling. Every year, many people lose their families and lives because of it. This gambling addict is completely beyond redemption.

Li Wei sighed and said, "I have to correct you. I am not some random man, but Kusamizuki's husband. Although you are her father, from the moment you hit her, you became my enemy, and I never show mercy to my enemies."

Li Wei's face turned cold. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but you can't blame him for that. He had originally planned to let the other side go for the sake of Kusanagi, but now that the other side has brought this upon themselves, he can't be blamed for it.

Chapter 4. Household Chores

The middle-aged man loosened his grip and took two steps toward Li Wei. When he realized he was shorter than Li Wei and had to look up, a displeased expression appeared on his face. He said, "You little brat, barging into someone else's house and trying to meddle in their affairs? What right do you have to interfere in my business?"

Japanese people are generally very indifferent; they mind their own business and don't care about what others are going through. So even if there's domestic violence and things being smashed on one side, everyone around can hear it, but no one ever comes to interfere or even gossip. This is because these days, most ordinary people's lives are mundane, and no one is better off than anyone else.

Because of his height advantage, Li Wei looked down at the dejected middle-aged man and said, "I am Kusamizuki's husband, so this is my family matter. You not only hit my wife, but you also dared to hit my mother-in-law. Tell me, should I interfere in this matter?"

Li Wei slapped the man across the face. The sound of the slap was crisp, and the middle-aged man was spun around twice before falling to the ground. His cheek swelled up instantly, and at the same time, he spat out several bloody teeth and lay on the ground howling in pain.

Li Wei helped Kusamizuki up after she fell, and placed his hand on her slapped face. A golden light appeared, and the swelling on her face visibly subsided. At this moment, Kusamizuki's mother, who was watching this scene, showed a shocked expression.

After confirming that Kusamizuki's face was alright, Li Wei turned around and kicked out. The middle-aged man flew out, smashing various pieces of furniture along the way, and finally crashed into the TV cabinet before stopping.

The middle-aged man was unable to get up. Li Wei ignored him and walked to the side of the mature beauty in a suit who was still lying on the ground. He squatted down and said gently, "Mother-in-law, I will treat your injuries now. Please bear with it. The wound will feel a little itchy and painful as it heals, but that is normal and will not leave a scar."

The mature, beautiful woman looked at Li Wei with a surprised expression, and at the same time blushed a little. She felt like she was really going crazy. This was her daughter's boyfriend, but she felt a flutter in her heart, as if she had returned to her teenage years. She even thought that if she had met this big boy back then, it would have been so much better. Such thoughts made her feel scared.

As the golden light slowly illuminated, Kusami Kaori noticed that the pain in her body was rapidly subsiding. She saw the bruises on her body disappear at a visible speed, and the hidden injuries from being beaten for a long time were also beginning to heal. She had never felt so relaxed before, as if time had reversed and her body functions had returned to those of her teenage years.

Li Wei smiled gently and said, "Mother-in-law, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Yue's husband, Li Wei. May I ask how you should address me?"

The mature, beautiful woman sat up, looking at the greasy middle-aged man struggling beside her like a worm, her face showing undisguised disgust. She turned to Li Wei and said, "I am Yue's mother, Tiao Xiangyun. Nice to meet you. I am very grateful to you for saving me this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, who knows what would have happened next."

Li Wei looked at the middle-aged man beside him who couldn't get up and asked, "Does that man often hit you?"

Tiao Xiangyun nodded and said, "That man has become a worm now. I was blind to believe his nonsense when I was young. However, I haven't come away empty-handed. At least I have a lovely daughter."

Recalling her life experiences, Tiao Xiangyun wanted to sigh. Over the years, her only happiness was watching her daughter grow up healthily. Unfortunately, due to the changes in her family, Kusanagi became introverted and didn't like to talk, which made her very worried that Kusanagi might be bullied at school.

Li Wei said, "That man is beyond saving, Mother-in-law. What do you plan to do next?"

Tiao Xiangyun said, "I want a divorce. Originally, I was supporting this family for Yue's sake, but now that Yue has you, this family has no meaning. I don't want to care about that bug's life or death anymore."

Xiangyun was truly exhausted. As long as her family worked together in the same direction, even countless failures wouldn't defeat them. Unfortunately, the man lying on the ground was just a former lucky guy who lacked real skills without luck. She had never approved of his attempt to make a comeback because she knew very well that he wasn't cut out for it. A pig that rises on the wind will eventually fall.

However, the other party insisted on making a comeback and burned all his possessions to the ground. Afterwards, he blamed her, calling her a jinx. She was speechless, feeling that he had said everything he could want.

After becoming completely despondent, this man started drinking heavily. It wouldn't have been so bad if he had just been drinking, but he also liked to go on drunken rampages and beat people. He would then hold a grudge after sobering up. Now, he's even started beating people when he's not drinking. If Kusanagi and Li Wei hadn't arrived in time, she might have been beaten to death here. When the man was beating her, he really went all out, and she had no way to fight back.

Li Wei looked at Kusami Tsuki beside him and said, "What should we do with this man? Although he is indeed a bastard and even hits women, he is, after all, your father, Tsuki. His fate will be decided jointly by you and your mother-in-law."

Kusamizuki looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground with icy eyes. The father she was once so proud of was dead, and the man lying on the ground was nothing but a useless cripple.

Kusamizuki said, "Let him fend for himself."

Kusami Tsuki came to her mother's side. When she heard her mother introduce herself as "Iso Kaori" instead of "Kusami Kaori," she knew that her mother had completely lost hope in the man on the ground.

Kusami Tsuki grabbed her mother's hand and pulled her up from the ground, saying, "Mom, I've found my own happiness, but I can't leave you here any longer. If you stay here, this scumbag will keep beating you, and he might even kill you. Mom, come live with me."

Xiangyun blushed slightly and asked, "Are you and Li Weijun already living together?"

Chapter 4. Aftermath

Although Xiangyun asked her own daughter, it was Li Wei who answered the question.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Originally, Yue and I were not living together, but now that things are like this, I am no longer comfortable with Yue and you, my mother-in-law, continuing to live here. This man has completely become a good-for-nothing who just eats and waits to die. I absolutely do not accept that this bastard who beats his own family is my father-in-law."

Tiao Xiangyun never expected that Li Wei would invite her and Kusanagi to come over. The thought of living under the same roof with a young man more than ten years younger than her made her feel shy, and her mind started to wander uncontrollably. She knew that Li Wei was her daughter's man, but such a handsome young man made her unable to control her thoughts, and embarrassing things kept popping into her head.

Xiangyun said, "If I go over there, won't I disturb your life? What if I see you two being all lovey-dovey? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? I think I'd better rent a small apartment outside."

As a lawyer, Tiao Xiangyun had the money to rent a place; renting a small apartment wouldn't be a problem for her. Since her man had become a hopeless case, she naturally had to be careful and wouldn't put all her money out in the open. That way, even if something unexpected happened to her, Kusanagi would have some money to support herself and then use her letter to return to the Tiao family.

But now it seems she no longer needs to prepare for the worst. Li Wei gives her the feeling of being a very reliable young man. She even regrets that Li Wei wasn't born sooner, and that she only met him now. If she had met Li Wei a decade or more earlier, would all these messy tragedies have happened?

Li Wei laughed and said, "Mother-in-law, why don't you move in with us? My house is quite big, with plenty of empty rooms. You can choose whichever you like."

Li Wei looked embarrassed and said, "Um... Mother-in-law, I have something to tell you here."

Looking at Li Wei's hesitant expression, Tiao Xiangyun found him quite adorable and said with a smile, "Just say what you want to say. I'm not a rigid person."

Li Wei feigned hesitation and said, "Mother-in-law, um... I have more than one woman."

Tiao Xiangyun sighed. The young man in front of her had a very unique temperament, the kind that only people in high positions of power could possess. To be honest, she was quite surprised that a young man could have such a temperament.

It's common in Japan for men in high positions of power to have more than one woman by their side. In fact, she has her own experience with this. For example, her father, Masao Jo, the head of the Jo family, has four wives.

She is the eldest daughter of the legal wife, and has an older brother who is now the head of the Tiao family. She has received various political training since childhood, preparing to take over the position of head of the family after her father retires.

The Tiao family was very prosperous in her generation. Her father had four wives and ten children in total. She was the third child and her father's favorite. When she ran away from home, her family mobilized a lot of people to look for her. Looking back now, she thinks she was really stupid back then, that she would completely break with her family for such a man.

Tiao Xiangyun smiled and said, "I know, I know. I also come from a wealthy family. My father had four wives, and I have ten brothers and sisters. It is normal for a powerful and influential family to have a large population. Only when the family is prosperous can it prosper."

Although Tiao Xiangyun had broken ties with her family, she was still secretly keeping an eye on their situation. Over the years, although the Tiao family had reduced its financial resources to some extent, its influence in the political arena remained stable. Although it was still far behind the top three families, it was still more powerful than ordinary noble families.

To expand their influence, the family needs people, and outsiders are often unreliable. This is why, even though she had a falling out with the family, she could still gain their attention and even be entrusted with overseeing various businesses if she returned. Having a knowledgeable legal professional within the family is crucial for a powerful family like the Tiao family. If their legal staff colluded with outsiders, it would be detrimental to the family. If she were to return, the family wouldn't need to rely on outsiders for legal matters, making them safer.

Li Wei looked embarrassed and said, "Grandpa is really amazing. However, my situation is a bit special. Besides Yue, I have ten other women."

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Tiao Xiangyun's smile froze. This number had exceeded her wildest imagination. She imagined that there were ten girls standing next to Li Wei, which was already the size of a football team.

Tiao Xiangyun was also a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Young people should be careful. It's fine when you're young, but are you sure you can handle it after you turn thirty?"

Tiao Xiangyun thought of her father. When she was very young, her father would put on a show of fighting demons every day. But when her father got older, he completely avoided her four mothers. After all, her four mothers were already in their prime, and her old father couldn't handle it. In that situation, even soaking goji berries in a thermos couldn't save him.

... ...... ...

That's why Xiangyun reminded Li Wei to take care of his health and not to overwork himself at such a young age.

Li Wei wanted to laugh inwardly. Ordinary people would indeed be afraid of such a situation, but who was he? He was a man who aspired to become the King of the Crystal Palace. This amount was nothing to him.

There are tens of thousands of people on the floating island, but even so, Li Wei still has so much energy that he can't seem to release it all. He even holds various special "sports meets" on the island, using large-scale brawls to release his boundless energy.

As his cultivation level improved, Li Wei found that his energy was becoming increasingly abundant, which had become a problem. Just figuring out how to dissipate this energy was a troublesome matter.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, when I was treating your injuries just now, you already realized that I am no ordinary person, right? Do you think this kind of question will cause me any trouble?"

Xiangyun gasped for breath. She snapped out of her daze and realized she'd asked a redundant question. If Li Wei didn't have such power, would he dare accept so many girls? However, this powerful ability also stirred her imagination, now a mother herself. Having remained chaste for almost ten years, she felt the volcano within her was about to erupt. She dared not continue; she feared she might say something inappropriate.

Chapter 4. Despair

Li Wei glanced around. Because of the previous fight, the entire living room was in complete disarray, making it very difficult to clean up.

Li Wei said, "Yue, Mother-in-law, please pack your personal belongings. This place is no longer safe to live in; you'll have to move to my place."

Tiao Xiangyun said, "No problem, but this man's specialty is being persistent and clingy. I'm afraid he'll come back and cause more trouble. Right now, he's just a pest, a piece of chewing gum. If we go to your place, won't we cause you trouble?"

Tiao Xiangyun was somewhat worried. She knew very well what kind of person that man was. He had been beaten up and would definitely hold a grudge. He would not let it go so easily. Moreover, the barefoot are not afraid of the one wearing shoes. She was afraid that he might do something irrational.

Li Wei said, "I have a way to deal with this situation, don't worry. If it weren't for the fact that she is Yue's father, I would have a hundred ways to deal with him. This kind of scoundrel won't wake up until he's taught a lesson."
