Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng lunged forward like a wildcat whose tail had been stepped on, his thick fingers almost poking Shen Zhiyi's nose, spitting all over her face.

"What do you mean? Ha! Shen Zhiyi, you worthless wretch, you dare to turn the tables?!"

Her voice was high-pitched and shrill, like a broken gong.

"Manman's belly is right here, are you blind or deaf? Stop throwing dirty water on Azhe! Azhe and Manman only spent one night together, and the golden seed immediately sprouted! And you? You've been a good-for-nothing in the Xu family for five years, your belly is harder than steel, if it's not you who has a problem, then who does?! Is our Azhe so precious that the seed planted in your field will fail to germinate?!"

She grew angrier as she spoke, and with a swing of her arm, she pushed Xu Jing, who was trying to speak, aside, causing her to stumble. With her hands on her hips and her plump buttocks swaying, she struck the standard pose of a shrew cursing in the street.

"Divorce? Fine, let's get divorced! You want a share of the Xu family's assets? No way!"

She stretched out her greasy palm and chopped it fiercely into the air.

"If it weren't for Ah Zhe working tirelessly and shamelessly all these years, how would you parasites of the Shen family enjoy your lives? You, Shen Zhiyi, are a jinx, a worthless piece of trash! You don't know how to be grateful, yet you dare to act so arrogantly? If I had known your belly was just for show, I should have beaten you out with a big stick back then!"

Xu Zhi, who had been keeping quiet all along, also gave Shen Zhiyi a sinister look. His eyes were like knives, and although he didn't say anything, the disdain he showed was more hurtful than Zhang Feng's insults.

Seeing her daughter so humiliated, Xu Jing could no longer maintain her scholarly dignity. Her face turned pale with anger, and she stood protectively in front of Shen Zhiyi.

"Mother-in-law! You're being incredibly rude! Who said Zhizhi didn't do anything? Zhe is in charge of external affairs, while Zhizhi manages the household! Every single matter, big or small, in your family—wasn't it Zhizhi who took care of it? Without her stabilizing things at home, how could Zhe film with peace of mind? You're just discarding her like a used tool!"

"Pooh!"

Zhang Feng nearly spat a mouthful of phlegm right at Xu Jing's feet. She looked Xu Jing up and down with disdain, as if she were a pile of stinking dog excrement.

"Household rites? Household rites my foot! A woman's duty is to bear children and carry on the family line! Your daughter can't even do that, what kind of woman is she? I think your Shen family is a bunch of good-for-nothings! Go and see which respectable daughter-in-law hasn't had two children after five years of marriage? She's so precious, her belly is just for show!"

She slapped her thigh triumphantly, her waistline jiggling, and rolled her eyes as she sneered:

"Now look what's happened! Our Xu family has finally found a true dragon among us, and instead of thinking about how to take care of her during her postpartum period, you have the nerve to come and transfer the villa and divide the inheritance? Tsk tsk, have you gone mad from all your studying? What do you mean by 'good service in logistics'? Bullshit! In my family, a hen that doesn't lay eggs is only fit for soup! You want a villa? You'd better be reborn as an egg-laying hen in your next life!"

She became increasingly agitated with her insults, her finger almost poking Xu Jing's face:

"Before, when your Shen family was somewhat useful, you'd give money to pave the way for our Ah Zhe, and I'd respect you as an educated man! Now that Ah Zhe is a big director, where do I go without anyone calling me Mrs. Xu? Do I need to put up with your attitude? I'm telling you right now, not a single hair on this villa will be taken! With me here, I'll hold up the sky for the Xu family!"

"You! You!"

Xu Jing couldn't bring herself to utter those words; her face flushed with anger, and she turned to glare at Shen Zhiyi: "Look at the wonderful husband and mother-in-law you chose!"

During her years with the Xu family, although Shen Zhiyi did not live with her mother-in-law, Zhang Feng only had this one son, who was also the first college student in their village. She doted on him and for the first two years, she would come from the countryside to visit him once a month and stay for a week each time. She would openly and secretly criticize Shen Zhiyi. Later, Xu Zhesheng made some money and wanted to make his parents less tired. He discussed with Shen Zhiyi and bought them a house in the same community. Zhang Feng then came to their house even more frequently.

The first two years were fine; she treated her politely, and Shen Zhiyi respected her greatly.

Later, as Xu Zhesheng's career became more and more successful, she began to criticize Shen Zhiyi from time to time. At first, it was just about small things, but when Shen Zhiyi did not refute her, she scolded her more vigorously.

Later, she didn't have children for many years, and Zhang Feng would often find any excuse to scold her.

She was already used to her shrewish behavior.

Therefore, seeing this situation again now, she felt no emotion, only looking at Xu Zhesheng and asking, "How is it?"

Xu Zhesheng frowned deeply; he hadn't expected this situation to turn out this way.

He didn't want a divorce. Besides Shen Zhiyi, who else could tolerate his mother?

Although Su Manman was pregnant with his child, Xu Zhesheng still looked down on her.

Although Su Manman claims to be a graduate of a film academy, people in the industry know that she only has a junior high school diploma and has been working hard since she was young. She is young and beautiful, and it was not easy for her to work her way up from a small county to Beijing. Xu Zhesheng may feel sorry for her, but he will not approve of her.

He might play around with this kind of woman, but he wouldn't consider her good enough to marry. He wouldn't have married her before, and now that she's a famous director, he's even less likely to.

After much thought, he still felt that Shen Zhiyi, from a scholarly family and a proper college student, was the most suitable candidate, especially since the two of them had such a long-standing relationship.

He said to Zhang Feng, "Mom, since it's my money, I get to decide how it's distributed."

"Giving this villa to Zhizhi is compensation that I promised to give her from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng's anger flared up. She grabbed Xu Zhesheng's collar and shook him back and forth, yelling, "Xu Zhesheng! Are you crazy? This house is worth five hundred million! You're just going to give it to such a slut?"

"She can't even have children, what compensation are you offering her!"

"You promised me you were just putting on a show! Why are you giving it to her now?!"

Xu Zhesheng's clothes were crumpled from Zhang Feng's grip. He glanced at her impatiently, pulled her hand away, and then beckoned to the real estate agent who had been cowering in the corner, afraid that Zhang Feng would hit him: "Go and make another copy of the contract."

The real estate agent turned his head tremblingly, but Xu Zhi stopped him in his tracks.

"Zhe, your mother and I are on each other's side in this matter. You should think it over carefully before making a decision."

Xu Zhi spoke slowly, his voice deep and somber.

Su Manman, standing to the side, also glared at Shen Zhiyi with some resentment. She was pregnant! All she got was Zhang Feng's care and some small amount of money from Xu Zhesheng. Why could Shen Zhiyi get a house worth 500 million just by making a fuss?

Seeing that Zhang Feng was so angry she could barely stand, she quickly stepped forward to support her and called out to Xu Zhesheng, "Zhe, come quick! Mom's fainted from anger! Get her to the hospital!"

Zhang Feng wasn't actually dizzy. When she heard Su Manman shout, she opened her eyes and saw Su Manman giving her a meaningful look. She instantly understood, steeled herself, and leaned back. She refused to believe that Xu Zhesheng would abandon her!
