Fang Yi smiled bitterly. Now it seemed ridiculous, but he did think so back then. A friend he had known for more than ten years could betray him. He had really failed in his life. It was the appearance of Naima that made him feel that there was still a ray of light in this world.

When Fang Yi was in junior high school, his parents divorced and left to start their own families. They felt that he was in the way, so they left him a house and let him live with his grandfather.

Fang Yi's parents had been at odds from the beginning. Quarrels and fights were commonplace, but they were relatively restrained and never affected Fang Yi. However, Fang Yi felt very upset watching them quarrel every day. When they divorced, Fang Yi even felt a sense of relief, finally separated.

After the divorce, Fang Yi's father took his mistress, who he had raised for several years, to another place to develop his career, and his mother quickly found her old lover and started a new family.

Fang Yi was a nuisance no matter which family he stayed in, so his father simply handed him over to his grandfather, leaving him enough living expenses and a house, and asked Fang Yi not to look for him from then on.

Fang Yi was still young at the time. Although he didn't care about his parents' divorce, he never thought that his father would abandon him. Fang Yi, who rarely cried, cried with his father for a day, but ultimately failed to keep him.

Seeing Mr. Fang like this, Mrs. Fang also packed up her things and left. She left quietly and didn't tell Fang Yi the address of her new home, worried that Fang Yi would pester her.

Fortunately, Fang Yi's grandfather was very kind to him. Fang Yi's uncle Fang Qian was also a good person. He would often come to see them and bring them some things. Fang Yi and his grandfather depended on each other and lived a very peaceful life. However, when Fang Yi was in the second year of high school, his grandfather fell ill. He was in the middle stage of cancer and had only a 40% chance of being cured.

Fang Yi went to many hospitals and finally found a hospital that specializes in treating colorectal cancer. The numbers given by this hospital were slightly better, and the chance of treatment was increased to 50%.

After Grandpa Fang was hospitalized, surgery was arranged quickly, but there was a big problem, there was not enough money for treatment.

Fang Qian's family were just ordinary office workers with a fixed salary. When Grandpa Fang was hospitalized, they scraped together 100,000 yuan, and half of it had been spent. Fang Yi also found his passbook early in the morning, but there were only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in the card. All this money added up was still not enough for the surgery.

Fang Yi spent a lot of effort, went to other places, ran around in unfamiliar places for a week, asked many people, and finally found his father. Mr. Fang and his mistress's son were already more than ten years old. He bought a house here and settled down again. Although he was very enthusiastic to see Fang Yi, he was also distant in his courtesy.

Fang Yi did not beat around the bush and directly told him his purpose. Mr. Fang pondered for a moment, took Fang Yi to the bank to withdraw 20,000 yuan, and told Fang Yi a lot, saying that he was not happy here, he had little money, and he had to support his family, so he could only give Fang Yi this much money.

Fang Yi knew a long time ago that Mr. Fang was a heartless man who could even abandon his son. Now he saw another side of Mr. Fang, who could even abandon his father. Fang Yi took the money and left. From then on, he never saw Mr. Fang again.

Fang Yi's mother lived in B City, and it was not difficult to find her. She didn't even show any expression when she saw Fang Yi. When she heard Fang Yi's purpose, she took out 1,000 yuan from her wallet and said that she had to support the family and didn't have much money to give Fang Yi. Moreover, when she left, she only took her own things and left all the money saved at home to Fang Yi. It was considered that she had done her best to give this 1,000 yuan.

Fang Yi took the 21,000 yuan and went home to find an agent to sell the house to pay for his grandfather's medical treatment.

At that time, the house price was still very cheap. Fang Yi's house was not very good. He sold it for more than 100,000 yuan. He finally raised enough money for Grandpa Fang's surgery. However, Grandpa Fang did not survive the surgery and died on the operating table.

Before Grandpa Fang went to the operating table, he seemed to have a premonition. He held Fang Qian's hand and said that he was reluctant to let Fang Yi go. If he left, he should treat Fang Yi well.

Although Fang Qian was very good to Fang Yi, his house was a one-bedroom and two-living room house. There was no room for his family, and he had to make room for him. After Fang Yi lived there for half a month, he rented a small room near the school with the remaining money on hand, saying that it was convenient for make-up lessons.

Fang Qian also knew his family's situation and did not persuade him much. He just asked his son Fang Xu to visit Fang Yi often.

Fang Yi had not attended classes for a long time. He could not keep up with his homework and felt depressed. Gradually, he stopped studying and followed some people every day. In the end, he even stopped attending classes.

Fang Xu came to see him several times, and Fang Qian also came to persuade him several times, but Fang Xu didn't listen. He was young at that time and couldn't resist temptation. Bars, beauties, games... any of them were more attractive than studying.

Fang Yi didn't even take the college entrance examination. Fang Qian came to scold Fang Yi, saying that Fang Yi had failed his grandfather's expectations. Fang Yi was drowsy every day at that time, so he didn't care about his grandfather's expectations. He had a big quarrel with Fang Qian. After Fang Qian left, he simply changed his residence and cut off contact with Fang Qian.

After the college entrance examination, Fang Yi didn't go to school anymore, and simply joined the underworld. Although his brain was not good, he was strong and had a scary face. He could scare many people by standing there with a gloomy face, so he was doing well. He collected protection fees and fought every day, and his life was quite comfortable.

Fang Yi originally thought that he would live this kind of life for a long, long time. After decades, he would be able to become a small leader with a bunch of subordinates. He would just sit at home and wait for money.
