The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

When do you plan to settle down?

Pei Dongcheng didn't get angry, but that was precisely what made it so chilling. This was a man who had been ruthless in the business world for thirty years, and he gave Chen Zhi one last chance in a restrained manner.

Focus your mind.

The translation of these two words is: cut off all those other women outside, and keep only my daughter.

Chen Zhi put down his chopsticks.

The entire private room was so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.

Chen Zhi raised his head.

He first glanced at Pei Ningxue.

Chen Zhi then looked at Pei Dongcheng.

"President Pei, to be honest, you might not like to hear it."

Pei Dongcheng's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

"explain."

Chen Zhi picked up the glass of Moutai in front of him and downed half of it in one gulp.

"They are all good girls, and I can't give up on any of them."

Pei Dongcheng paused at his lips, his hand holding the teacup, his movements frozen for a few seconds.

He slowly put down his teacup and lifted his eyelids.

"Say it again?"

"I said, I want to give each of them a home. Including Ningxue."

Pei Dongcheng's expression finally changed.

It was an expression somewhere between absurd and unbelievable. He had been in business for thirty years, from starting with nothing to owning billions in assets. He had seen all sorts of ruthless people, madmen, and swindlers.

But a nineteen-year-old boy, right in front of him, after he had just shown him photos of his daughter being cheated on, said with righteous indignation, "I want to give them all a home."

This was the first time Pei Dongcheng, who had lived for forty-eight years, had ever encountered something like this.

Pei Ningxue, who was sitting next to her, suddenly turned her head.

She glared at Chen Zhi, her expression even more interesting than her father's.

What did you say before you came?

What happened to your promise to "marry only me"?

What happened to the promise of "just playing along"?

Are you out of your mind?! You're going to confront Pei Dongcheng like this?!

Pei Dongcheng pulled the stack of photos out of the brown paper bag again and slammed them heavily on the table with a "thud".

"Chen Zhi, do you think I'm joking with you?"

"President Pei, I'm not joking." Chen Zhi sat up straight, meeting Pei Dongcheng's gaze.

Pei Dongcheng pointed at the photo: "You want to marry my daughter?"

"Yes."

"You also have two girlfriends?"

"Yes."

"You're telling me now that you're going to give them a home?"

"right."

Pei Dongcheng stared intently at him, as if observing a rare species he had never seen before.

After a long pause, he let out a cold laugh through his nose.

"Young man, are you arrogant or just stupid?"

"President Pei, I admit I'm a scumbag."

Pei Ningxue was so angry at such a shameless person that she laughed.

"But I won't lie to you," Chen Zhi continued. "You asked me when I'll settle down, so I'll be frank: I can't settle down."

Pei Dongcheng tapped his finger heavily on the table.

"Can't accept it?"

"Lin Wanwan and I grew up together, we're childhood sweethearts, and her house is right next to mine, I can't give her up."

"Li Zhiyi's parents passed away early, and she grew up with her grandparents. She has an introverted personality. I am the only person she has ever considered. She works very hard every day so that she can help me in the future. I can't possibly abandon her."

He turned to look at Pei Ningxue, then turned back to look at Pei Dongcheng.

"Ningxue is my partner and the person I trust most. She helped me take Deep Space Technology from scratch to where it is today. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Pei Dongcheng's expression remained completely unchanged throughout.

Chen Zhi continued speaking.

"I know you want me to choose one, but Mr. Pei, I can't choose. If I choose either one, what about the others? I can't say to a girl, 'I'm sorry, you're not important enough.'"

"So your solution is to have it all?"

Pei Dongcheng's tone rose slightly, making it impossible to tell whether it was sarcasm or pure shock.

"My solution is to treat everyone fairly." Chen Zhi didn't back down an inch. "They know each other exist, and I respect their choices. If one day any of them decides they don't want to stay and wants to leave, I will absolutely not stop them and will give them sufficient compensation. But as long as they are willing to stay, I will not let them suffer any injustice."

Pei Ningxue lowered her head, her long hair falling down to obscure her face. She really wanted to grab the teacup on the table and splash it in Chen Zhi's face. What did he mean by not stopping him? This bastard dared to say such things in front of her father!

Pei Dongcheng reached out and picked up the bottle of Moutai, then poured himself another glass.

He did not give it to Chen Zhidao.

He drank the wine very slowly, sip by sip, as if he was suppressing something.

After finishing his drink, Pei Dongcheng placed the glass on the table, rubbing the rim with his thumb, his eyelids drooping, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, he spoke.

"Your dad is a civil servant."

Chen Zhi was taken aback, not understanding why the topic had suddenly jumped to this.

"Yes."

"Your mother is a bank teller."

"right."

"Did anyone in your family teach you from childhood that a man can have three women at the same time?"

"no."

"So your dad is having an affair?"

"Absolutely not. He wouldn't dare even if you gave him ten times the courage. My mom is very strict."

"Then how did you end up looking like this?"

Chen Zhi scratched his head and replied very sincerely, "Maybe I'm just naturally gifted."

Pei Dongcheng was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Okay, okay."

"You really think I'm too old to lift a knife?"

"Do you really think I, Pei Dongcheng, have been some kind of worthless nobody for the past thirty years?"

Chen Zhi sat in the chair, looking up at the business tycoon.

He suddenly laughed. There was no fear in his laughter, but rather a sense of unbridled freedom.

"President Pei, times have changed."

"You are the ship of the old era, and I am the wind of the new era."

"Deep Space Technology is developing much faster than you imagine. Its pre-Series A valuation has already exceeded 15 billion US dollars, and it's increasing at an alarming rate every day. Moss's underlying algorithm is unique in the world, and a technological barrier has been formed. You do have a lot of money and a wide network of connections, but you can't kill me right now."

Chen Zhi pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, looking incredibly arrogant.

"As long as I let the word out, Sequoia Capital, Hillhouse Capital, and even Zhang Yiming of Yinzhuo Technology will have plenty of capital lining up to give me money. You are a senior, and I respect you, but if it really comes down to a fight, you can't sink Deep Space Technology, this aircraft carrier."

Pei Dongcheng looked at the extremely arrogant young man in front of him, his facial muscles twitched twice, and he revealed a cruel smile.

"I almost forgot if you hadn't reminded me." Pei Dongcheng nodded. "I need to find a way to sink you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish, otherwise once you've grown up and your wings have hardened, I really won't be able to do anything with you."

Chen Zhi was momentarily speechless.

Damn, that was too hasty.

Am I being too cocky? This father-in-law doesn't play by the rules. He can't beat me in business, so he's planning to take the physical route of elimination?

Chen Zhi quickly tried to smooth things over: "President Pei, fighting and killing hurts relationships. I gave Ningxue 15% of the shares, and she is now the second largest shareholder of Deep Space Technology. When Deep Space Technology goes public in the future, this 15% will be worth hundreds of billions, or even trillions."

He turned to look at Pei Ningxue.

"This is proof of my feelings for her, Uncle. We truly love each other."

Pei Dongcheng ignored Chen Zhi and turned to look at Pei Ningxue, who had remained silent.

"Xiaoxue," Pei Dongcheng's voice was frighteningly deep, "Do you still love this beast?"

Pei Ningxue finally raised her head.

She glanced at the man she both loved and hated, and reached out to take Chen Zhi's arm.

"dad."

"I will marry no one but him."

Pei Dongcheng looked at the two people who were standing close together, and his chest heaved violently.

"Okay, okay."

"You two have really opened my eyes."

He reached out and picked up the stack of photos on the table, patting them in his hand.

"Chen Zhi, didn't you want to marry three girls? Didn't you say you'd be fair to everyone?"

Pei Dongcheng took out his phone and turned on the screen.

"I just had my secretary pack these photos into two files."

Chen Zhi's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition surged up.

"One copy was sent to Lin Wanwan's agent, Su Man." Pei Dongcheng stared at Chen Zhi. "The other copy was sent to Li Zhiyi's counselor at the Renmin University Law School."

Chen Zhi suddenly stood up.

"President Pei, you—"

"Didn't you say they all knew about each other?" Pei Dongcheng interrupted him. "I'll help you completely break down this barrier. I want to see how the other two girls react when they see these photos."

"They probably don't know yet how much of a womanizer you, Mr. Chen, are outside."
