“And you! What kind of mother raises a girl with no conscience like that?! Living in luxury and still not knowing how good she has it! You two are a curse on each other, reincarnated!”
“Smack!” — “Smack!”
One on either side—his birth mother and his stepmother—each gave him a slap without holding back.
Lục Hoa Thịnh reeled.
He had never imagined that the two women in his life would one day join forces to slap him.
“Get out.” Viên Lộ Dao ordered coldly.
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward and dragged Lục Hoa Thịnh out of the house.

Unexpectedly, the days without my father around turned out to be the happiest days of my life.
I no longer had to feel guilty about covering up all his scandals.
Every day, I went to work and “blended in” at my stepmother’s company, collected a ridiculously high salary, and, when I had free time, invited my closest friends on stress-relieving trips.
Viên Lộ Dao and my father finally got officially divorced.
At first, he refused to sign and tried to drag things out, using a combination of sweet talk and playing the victim to coax my stepmother into coming back.
But this time, Viên Lộ Dao seemed to have come to her senses. Her weakness for handsome men was completely cured.
She divorced him decisively, without a moment’s hesitation.
The only condition she set was that she get custody of me.
I was already grown, so honestly, there was no need for anyone to fight over custody of me.
But she didn’t just fight for custody—she even changed my last name, registering me as her child. From then on, my last name was officially Viên.
My birth mother not only didn’t object, but even sent Viên Lộ Dao a special congratulatory message:
【Congratulations on gaining another beautiful daughter!】
My mother was a fish-market woman, after all, so her choice of words was a little... rough.
But my stepmother didn’t blame her at all.
For years, my birth mother had struggled to build a business, setting out with five million and a solemn vow to turn me into a rich kid. By now, she had only one million left.
At last, she recognized her true abilities and decided to return to the fish market and keep selling fish.
Every so often, she even brought fresh fish to our house as a gift.
From then on, the three of us lived together in harmony, happy and content.
And my father?
I have no idea where he ended up, but honestly... nobody really cares.
