The discussion on the Starry Sky Forum about the President was getting fiercer as the day went on. Their goodwill has long dissipated – there’s news about the President’s wife snatching an Exoplanet Native’s patent during her youth.
This year, Chu Huai has been cleaning up the protection of Exoplanet Natives’ patents. The Xiang family sniffed about this early, so they have long painfully cleared up their patents. They were clever enough not to fight with Chu Huai. In fact, they stole Chu Huai’s concept – they fought with him, earning them a good reputation of “quick responses to good policies and supporting the Exoplanet Natives’ heritage”.
At the beginning, the President was happy to see that the internal fighting weakened each other, and he even wanted to stir up further disagreement. He did not obstruct Chu Huai about this policy, so his operation could advance very smoothly.
Now that the cleaning activity has come to an end, and the year is almost over, everyone’s attention has already been removed from this incident. However, the Chu family did not return the favor – instead, they turned around and burned the President instead.
The President has long been abandoned by the Four Great Families. First, the Xiang-Wei family no longer supported him, and now, the Chu family even joined in the mud pit and stepped on the President alongside them. Anger rose in his heart and he could no longer put on a good face – of course, he only let his temper run amok inside the privacy of his own house.
“You, why did you do this kind of scandalous thing! Why didn’t you tell me what you did! Are you not satisfied until I fail miserably!” He yelled at his wife and snarled, his expression contorted into something hideous.
You Susu has never been treated so poorly like this by her husband. The Long family was not that prosperous, so Long Ruifeng had to climb into the position of the President relying on the Xiang-Wei families’ support and the You family’s military forces. So, her position was quite high and her life has been comfortable. In fact, she could always pose as more “noble” compared to her husband.
This was not the first time that her husband belittled and berated her like this. The first time was when Long Baorou had an accident. At that time, she did not give Long Ruifeng a chance to get angry. She sent her to another A-class planet to escape the treacherous situation. How could she endure such treatment this time?
“Tell you? I don’t even remember this, how can I tell you! What’s so scandalous about it? It’s just a recipe for a flower-flavored tea. If you use it, you use it. What family doesn’t have this kind of thing nowadays? Can’t you see that the Chu family is trying to stir up trouble by nitpicking every single thing? If you have time to get angry here, why don’t you go and think of a solution!”
She politely turned back. Then, she shouted louder than him, and in a more straightforward manner than him. She started to blame him. “If you weren’t too high-profile before, stepping on the Chu family while Chu Rong was missing, would Chu Huai retaliate against you like this? Do you think he would spare his time to dig up such old, unimportant news?”
Long Ruifeng was stunned by her words for a moment. If this was the usual, he would certainly admit that he had made a small mistake. But now he just felt more angry. He roared, “You still made a scandal! I’m doing this for the sake of the family. You know that the presidential election will be held soon, and I—”
“Whatever you are, you are a waste!” You Susu didn’t wait for him to finish his words and turned back again. Her face sank, her voice shrill. “I let my You family support you in the past, so you don’t always need to rely on the Xiang-Wei families. So I asked you to return the favor, but you always denied my wishes because you were afraid that the You family will grow bigger than you can control. Did I say a word about that? Didn’t my father support you for all your career? Didn’t I tell you to be careful about the Xiang-Wei families, and be less involved with them? I told you to be more honest during your work as the President. But you never listened! You are too greedy. Now you’ve kicked the hornet nest and the Chu family is hot on your heels. You think those three elders of the Chu family are fools? Don’t you understand? You can’t touch the juniors!”
As she kept ranting, she unburdened herself of all the years of unaired grievances accumulating in her heart like a stubborn plaque. She looked up at her increasingly foreign husband, wondering at what point he felt like a stranger to her. She raised her hand to touch her shawl, and swallowed the rest of the old accounts she chose not to say. Instead, she said, “I messed up with that patent, so I’ll be responsible for it. Similarly, for the work that you do yourself, please also be responsible for yourself. Don’t drag Xuyang into this murky water. I have been with you for decades. When you were poor, I never hated you. When your career was on the brink and everyone suppressed you, I have always been loyal to your cause. I have always encouraged and supported you. Long Ruifeng, I have always been kind to you. But now, since you are so guarding against my natal family, assuming that it was the tarnish of your resume, then let’s part ways. Let’s get a divorce.”
Long Ruifeng was shocked. “What do you mean? You are threatening me? Right now, don’t stir up even more trouble!”
‘Threat? Stir up trouble?’
They’ve been together for decades. But these careless words were more than enough to destroy any semblance of relationship built over the years.
You Susu’s heart was completely cold. She gave him a slight glance and turned to leave.
Long Ruifeng thought she was losing her temper again, and he was unwilling to wait for her to calm down. He let her be.
A few minutes later, the steward of the Presidential Office hurried in and said in a panic, “Sir, Madam returned to her natal house and took Young Master Xuyang!”
Long Ruifeng was baffled, and his emotions hit rock bottom. He waved his hand and said, “Let her go! She thought that I would bow my head if she took Xuyang away. I am not a fool! I’m too busy to care for such petty means!”
The steward looked at him with sorrow and anxiety.
The expression of the Madam just now did not look like she just wanted to force her husband to bow his head by returning to her natal family’s home.
The day after this scandal broke, Elder You personally took You Susu to hold a press conference to explain the flower-flavored tea patent and invited the Exoplanet Native auntie whose patent was supposed to be stolen.
The Auntie explained the matter.
She was rescued by the You family at that time, and has been in their care for all these years. When You Susu was very young, she got angry at her and impulsively ran away with this recipe and somehow ended up registering it as a patent. The Auntie once thought about getting it back, but since You Susu never got any money with this patent, she just let it slide, as this was just a trivial matter.
Now, the scandal became a silly, but embarrassing story between her and the then-young You Susu. Everyone expressed their understanding and praised the wife of the President for taking responsibility.
Just when everyone thought that the press conference was about to finish, You Susu suddenly stepped forward and dropped a bomb – she was going to divorce the President Long Ruifeng.
She said that because of what Long Baorou had done to the two juniors of the Chu family and what she did when she was young, she now realized she was an unqualified mother and role model, so she decided to get divorced, reflected on her mistakes, and finally tell the young people in the Federation to learn from her mistakes.
Long Xuyang has been standing by her side. When she finished speaking, he stepped forward to embrace her, and apologized to the public again. He then announced the end of the press conference and left with his maternal grandfather and his mother.
The reporters were stunned into silence, before breaking into a loud commotion. They immediately put forward a report with shocking headlines.
The press conference was broadcast live across the Federation, and everyone heard it – the president is divorcing his wife! Just because of a small mistake she made when she was young!
No wonder this press conference was hosted by Elder You and You Susu, and the President did not show up throughout the process. It turned out to be this! No wonder the situation felt odd before.
In the presidential palace, Long Ruifeng, who was thinking about how to cover up the scandal, stood up in disbelief after learning the news. He was busy looking through the video of the press conference, and then he heard You Susu say divorce. When Long Xuyang was standing beside her to show his support, he felt that his eyes were blurred and he almost fainted.
But he couldn’t faint. If even his wife had abandoned him, what was left of him now?
He was busy taking out his communicator and dialing You Susu, but was transferred to a busy tone. Obviously, he was blocked by You Susu. He turned to Long Xuyang’s number and called him. Thankfully, he picked it up. However, while his tone was kind, he made it clear that he wanted to spend time with his mother and not return to the presidential palace for the time being.
For the first time, his docile and obedient son hung up on him. His wife and son all left, and he finally couldn’t bear the blow. His spiritual strength became chaotic – he felt faint and passed out with his eyes rolled.
The Four Great Families learned about this matter and they showed their “goodwill” by delivering medicine to the presidential palace. On the surface, they were concerned, but secretly, they were cold-blooded and delighted by the turn of events – he was still the President, so he still needed to hold up for the time being.
At the time when the entire Federation was full of excitement due to the President ’s divorce, the fifth round of the Star Network Mecha Manufacturing Tournament began. This time, they were tasked to build a mecha limbs. This was very simple, and was more testing of the contestant’s speed rather than skill.
This was Qiao Zhiya’s forte. After asking for extra materials from the competition official, he immediately dived into the production.
Everyone has gradually gained confidence in his strength, and the odds in this round have finally become balanced.
Without those weird “foolish” operations, Qiao Zhiya’s parts-making process was once again pleasing to the eye. Of course, what’s even more pleasing was his nimble actions of climbing up and down the giant mecha limbs to install the parts.
“Ah ah ah ah!!! I saw it! He just crawled into that tight space, he’s so cute!!!”
“Wow, Qiaoqiao’s jumping ability is great! So amazing!”
“Hey hey, when the Little Cutie was looking up, his clothes were lifted. I saw his waist, so white and thin.”
“…”
Chu Yan, who was “fortunately” sitting next to Chu Rong, quietly muted the audience. He took a peek at Chu Rong, whose expression was dark, but not furious. He wiped his sweat, thinking, ‘Thankfully, I muted them in time before Erge could hear. Otherwise…’
Before he could finish his thoughts, Qiao Zhiya on the stage suddenly raised his hand, tied his bangs, and exposed his forehead.
The audience froze, staring at the little ponytail and his exposed forehead, exposing his delicate and beautiful face even more clearly. After looking at him for a few seconds, the audience broke into various loud screams.
“Crack.” Chu Yan felt as if he heard the sound of Erge cracking his knuckles.
——Although no sound can be heard, they could still see the expression of the audience.
“That… his bangs are long, so it blocked his view. It’s normal for Qiao to do this. Erge, you…”
Chu Rong looked at him with a cold face, and asked quietly, “I’m what?”
“…No, nothing. Qiao’s avatar should be… edited in future? He could shorten his bangs so it wouldn’t obstruct his view again?” Chu Yan suggested.
Chu Rong sneered, unclear to whom. He turned his gaze to look at the excited audience around him, and scoffed.
Chu Yan shuddered and felt that it was too stressful to sit next to Chu Rong this time. He now missed Yuan Xiu who didn’t watch the game because he ran away to learn his family’s management (under Chu Yan’s suggestion earlier).
Although the skeleton of the limbs was simple to make and easy to change, his design was very bulky. Due to that, it took him 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete. Finally, he rechecked everything to make sure everything was perfect.
Five minutes before the end of the game, the system judged that he succeeded in advancing to the next round.
The audience cheered, Qiao Zhiya bowed before logging off. This time, the audience found that Chu Rong actually did not follow the offline, but instead teleported to the mecha driving square, where he abused Third Young Master Chu by pummeling him to the ground multiple times.
Then, he challenged the leaderboard.
The netizens were beyond excited – after watching Qiao Zhiya’s competition, they could now watch Chu Rong’s mecha battle, and it was public this time! Hey, the Marshal and his wife truly joined hands and sent benefits to the netizens today!!
Everyone rushed into Chu Rong’s battle room, and found that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong — Chu Rong was too quick, too cold, too aggressive, too… scary.
“Boom!”
His first opponent’s mecha was scrapped in under three moves.
“Crack!”
His second opponent was defeated in under 10 seconds.
“Blam!”
His third opponent was slightly stronger and lived for 2 minutes, but died the worst.
The battle proceeded at a high-efficiency rhythm. One after another, the mighty and domineering top-ranked players were all turned into trembling chicks under Chu Rong’s tyrannical moves. One of the players with the ID “Your Little Waist” was the worst. He was obviously not the most powerful, but was challenged by Chu Rong the most.
The audience held their frightened little hearts and now felt that they understood something.
“Crash!”
The “Little Waist” guy fell to the ground again, the system determined that Chu Rong was victorious. Just when the audience thought that there would be another game, Chu Rong turned off the challenge, and then operated the mecha coldly and swept the audience seat. He turned on his speaker, and spoke with a chilling, murderous tone, “Do you think his waist looked good?”
After speaking, he went offline directly.
The audience was stunned, then became agitated afterwards. Finally, he carefully guessed something:
It was rare that the Marshal even participated in the public leaderboard. But now, he spare the effort to torture this guy with the ID “Your Little Waist”…
Was he possessive? And turned his anger towards them??
“…”
The audience was silent, and then looked up at the sky as they lamented—
‘Well, today’s Marshal is really… Eh… forget it, it’s a good moonlight tonight.’

The Long family was not that prosperous, so Long Ruifeng had to climb into the position of the President relying on the Xiang-Wei families' support and the You family's military forces. So, her position was quite high and her life has been comfortable. In fact, she could always pose as more noble compared to her husband.This was not the first time that her husband belittled and berated her like this. The first time was when Long Baorou had an accident. At that time, she did not give Long Ruifeng a chance to get angry. She sent her to another A-class planet to escape the treacherous situation. How could she endure such treatment this time?Tell you? I don't even remember this, how can I tell you! What's so scandalous about it? It's just a recipe for a flower-flavored tea. If you use it, you use it. What family doesn't have this kind of thing nowadays? Can't you see that the Chu family is trying to stir up trouble by nitpicking every single thing? If you have time to get angry here, why don't you go and think of a solution!She politely turned back. Then, she shouted louder than him, and in a more straightforward manner than him. She started to blame him. If you weren't too high-profile before, stepping on the Chu family while Chu Rong was missing, would Chu Huai retaliate against you like this? Do you think he would spare his time to dig up such old, unimportant news?Long Ruifeng was stunned by her words for a moment. If this was the usual, he would certainly admit that he had made a small mistake. But now he just felt more angry. He roared, You still made a scandal! I'm doing this for the sake of the family. You know that the presidential election will be held soon, and IWhatever you are, you are a waste! You Susu didn't wait for him to finish his words and turned back again. Her face sank, her voice shrill. I let my You family support you in the past, so you don't always need to rely on the Xiang-Wei families. So I asked you to return the favor, but you always denied my wishes because you were afraid that the You family will grow bigger than you can control. Did I say a word about that? Didn't my father support you for all your career? Didn't I tell you to be careful about the Xiang-Wei families, and be less involved with them? I told you to be more honest during your work as the President. But you never listened! You are too greedy. Now you've kicked the hornet nest and the Chu family is hot on your heels. You think those three elders of the Chu family are fools? Don't you understand? You can't touch the juniors!As she kept ranting, she unburdened herself of all the years of unaired grievances accumulating in her heart like a stubborn plaque. She looked up at her increasingly foreign husband, wondering at what point he felt like a stranger to her. She raised her hand to touch her shawl, and swallowed the rest of the old accounts she chose not to say. Instead, she said, I messed up with that patent, so I'll be responsible for it. Similarly, for the work that you do yourself, please also be responsible for yourself. Don't drag Xuyang into this murky water. I have been with you for decades. When you were poor, I never hated you. When your career was on the brink and everyone suppressed you, I have always been loyal to your cause. I have always encouraged and supported you. Long Ruifeng, I have always been kind to you. But now, since you are so guarding against my natal family, assuming that it was the tarnish of your resume, then let's part ways. Let's get a divorce.Long Ruifeng was shocked. What do you mean? You are threatening me? Right now, don't stir up even more trouble!Threat? Stir up trouble?'They've been together for decades. But these careless words were more than enough to destroy any semblance of relationship built over the years.You Susu's heart was completely cold. She gave him a slight glance and turned to leave.Long Ruifeng thought she was losing her temper again, and he was unwilling to wait for her to calm down. He let her be.A few minutes later, the steward of the Presidential Office hurried in and said in a panic, Sir, Madam returned to her natal house and took Young Master Xuyang!Long Ruifeng was baffled, and his emotions hit rock bottom. He waved his hand and said, Let her go! She thought that I would bow my head if she took Xuyang away. I am not a fool! I'm too busy to care for such petty means!The steward looked at him with sorrow and anxiety.The expression of the Madam just now did not look like she just wanted to force her husband to bow his head by returning to her natal family's home.The day after this scandal broke, Elder You personally took You Susu to hold a press conference to explain the flower-flavored tea patent and invited the Exoplanet Native auntie whose patent was supposed to be stolen.The Auntie explained the matter.She was rescued by the You family at that time, and has been in their care for all these years. When You Susu was very young, she got angry at her and impulsively ran away with this recipe and somehow ended up registering it as a patent. The Auntie once thought about getting it back, but since You Susu never got any money with this patent, she just let it slide, as this was just a trivial matter.Now, the scandal became a silly, but embarrassing story between her and the then-young You Susu. Everyone expressed their understanding and praised the wife of the President for taking responsibility.Just when everyone thought that the press conference was about to finish, You Susu suddenly stepped forward and dropped a bomb she was going to divorce the President Long Ruifeng.She said that because of what Long Baorou had done to the two juniors of the Chu family and what she did when she was young, she now realized she was an unqualified mother and role model, so she decided to get divorced, reflected on her mistakes, and finally tell the young people in the Federation to learn from her mistakes.Long Xuyang has been standing by her side. When she finished speaking, he stepped forward to embrace her, and apologized to the public again. He then announced the end of the press conference and left with his maternal grandfather and his mother.The reporters were stunned into silence, before breaking into a loud commotion. They immediately put forward a report with shocking headlines.The press conference was broadcast live across the Federation, and everyone heard it the president is divorcing his wife! Just because of a small mistake she made when she was young!No wonder this press conference was hosted by Elder You and You Susu, and the President did not show up throughout the process. It turned out to be this! No wonder the situation felt odd before.In the presidential palace, Long Ruifeng, who was thinking about how to cover up the scandal, stood up in disbelief after learning the news. He was busy looking through the video of the press conference, and then he heard You Susu say divorce. When Long Xuyang was standing beside her to show his support, he felt that his eyes were blurred and he almost fainted.But he couldn't faint. If even his wife had abandoned him, what was left of him now?He was busy taking out his communicator and dialing You Susu, but was transferred to a busy tone. Obviously, he was blocked by You Susu. He turned to Long Xuyang's number and called him. Thankfully, he picked it up. However, while his tone was kind, he made it clear that he wanted to spend time with his mother and not return to the presidential palace for the time being.For the first time, his docile and obedient son hung up on him. His wife and son all left, and he finally couldn't bear the blow. His spiritual strength became chaotic he felt faint and passed out with his eyes rolled.The Four Great Families learned about this matter and they showed their goodwill by delivering medicine to the presidential palace. On the surface, they were concerned, but secretly, they were cold-blooded and delighted by the turn of events he was still the President, so he still needed to hold up for the time being.At the time when the entire Federation was full of excitement due to the President 's divorce, the fifth round of the Star Network Mecha Manufacturing Tournament began. This time, they were tasked to build a mecha limbs. This was very simple, and was more testing of the contestant's speed rather than skill.This was Qiao Zhiya's forte. After asking for extra materials from the competition official, he immediately dived into the production.Everyone has gradually gained confidence in his strength, and the odds in this round have finally become balanced.Without those weird foolish operations, Qiao Zhiya's parts-making process was once again pleasing to the eye. Of course, what's even more pleasing was his nimble actions of climbing up and down the giant mecha limbs to install the parts.Ah ah ah ah!!! I saw it! He just crawled into that tight space, he's so cute!!!Wow, Qiaoqiao's jumping ability is great! So amazing!Hey hey, when the Little Cutie was looking up, his clothes were lifted. I saw his waist, so white and thin.Chu Yan, who was fortunately sitting next to Chu Rong, quietly muted the audience. He took a peek at Chu Rong, whose expression was dark, but not furious. He wiped his sweat, thinking, Thankfully, I muted them in time before Erge could hear. Otherwise'Before he could finish his thoughts, Qiao Zhiya on the stage suddenly raised his hand, tied his bangs, and exposed his forehead.The audience froze, staring at the little ponytail and his exposed forehead, exposing his delicate and beautiful face even more clearly. After looking at him for a few seconds, the audience broke into various loud screams.Crack. Chu Yan felt as if he heard the sound of Erge cracking his knuckles.Although no sound can be heard, they could still see the expression of the audience.That his bangs are long, so it blocked his view. It's normal for Qiao to do this. Erge, youChu Rong looked at him with a cold face, and asked quietly, I'm what?No, nothing. Qiao's avatar should be edited in future? He could shorten his bangs so it wouldn't obstruct his view again? Chu Yan suggested.Chu Rong sneered, unclear to whom. He turned his gaze to look at the excited audience around him, and scoffed.Chu Yan shuddered and felt that it was too stressful to sit next to Chu Rong this time. He now missed Yuan Xiu who didn't watch the game because he ran away to learn his family's management under Chu Yan's suggestion earlier.Although the skeleton of the limbs was simple to make and easy to change, his design was very bulky. Due to that, it took him 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete. Finally, he rechecked everything to make sure everything was perfect.Five minutes before the end of the game, the system judged that he succeeded in advancing to the next round.The audience cheered, Qiao Zhiya bowed before logging off. This time, the audience found that Chu Rong actually did not follow the offline, but instead teleported to the mecha driving square, where he abused Third Young Master Chu by pummeling him to the ground multiple times.Then, he challenged the leaderboard.The netizens were beyond excited after watching Qiao Zhiya's competition, they could now watch Chu Rong's mecha battle, and it was public this time! Hey, the Marshal and his wife truly joined hands and sent benefits to the netizens today!!Everyone rushed into Chu Rong's battle room, and found that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong Chu Rong was too quick, too cold, too aggressive, too scary.Boom!His first opponent's mecha was scrapped in under three moves.Crack!His second opponent was defeated in under 10 seconds.Blam!His third opponent was slightly stronger and lived for 2 minutes, but died the worst.The battle proceeded at a high-efficiency rhythm. One after another, the mighty and domineering top-ranked players were all turned into trembling chicks under Chu Rong's tyrannical moves. One of the players with the ID Your Little Waist was the worst. He was obviously not the most powerful, but was challenged by Chu Rong the most.The audience held their frightened little hearts and now felt that they understood something.Crash!The Little Waist guy fell to the ground again, the system determined that Chu Rong was victorious. Just when the audience thought that there would be another game, Chu Rong turned off the challenge, and then operated the mecha coldly and swept the audience seat. He turned on his speaker, and spoke with a chilling, murderous tone, Do you think his waist looked good?After speaking, he went offline directly.The audience was stunned, then became agitated afterwards. Finally, he carefully guessed something:It was rare that the Marshal even participated in the public leaderboard. But now, he spare the effort to torture this guy with the ID Your Little WaistWas he possessive? And turned his anger towards them??The audience was silent, and then looked up at the sky as they lamentedWell, today's Marshal is really Eh forget it, it's a good moonlight tonight.'
