After the divorce, I became a god that my ex-wife couldn’t reach.

Pi Yangyang and Dong Wanqiu entered the embroidery shop, while Su Xueqing and Zhao Jingang went to admire the dress again.

Jiang Bianyue said to Zhao Jingang, "Miss Zhao, your and Mr. Su's dresses are already being embroidered. My mother is personally handling the needlework, saying that she wants to make sure that Miss Zhao and Mr. Su are satisfied."

Zhao Jingang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, I have a lot of confidence in Master Dong's skills."

Dong Wanqiu looked at Pi Yangyang with a face full of gratitude and said, "Mr. Pi, I really don't know how to thank you enough. Last time you stopped those two Japanese people, and today you've made such a generous move to buy this building, ensuring that our embroidery shop doesn't even have a place to stand..."

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "Master Dong, you don't need to be so polite. To be honest, I am very moved by your dedication to preserving our national culture. I do this willingly."

Dong Wanqiu said, "Mr. Pi, I've thought about it for a long time, and I've decided that I'll only charge you and President Su the cost price for the dresses... I know you and President Su are both well-off, but this is the only way I can express my gratitude..."

Seeing her sincerity, Pi Yangyang shook his head slightly and said, "Master Dong, the reason your embroidery has become a cultural heritage is not because it uses luxurious materials. Rather, it is because your hands have transformed these seemingly unrelated materials into an exquisite dress."

"It was your hands that gave these dresses and embroidery life, and that gave them their due value. So, in my eyes, the true value of that dress is not the precious ornaments, nor the gold and silver threads embroidered on it. It is that you gave this dress a real life."

Dong Wanqiu said with some emotion, "Mr. Pi, I didn't expect you to have such insights! To be honest, this is precisely the reason and motivation for me to persevere."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "So, you say you'll only charge based on the cost of raw materials, but what about your time and technical costs? Those are priceless; shouldn't you charge for them too?"

"But……"

Dong Wanqiu was at a loss for words.

Pi Yangyang said, "There are no 'buts'. If I'm going to buy it, I want to buy it with a clear conscience. Otherwise, if people find out that my wife's dress actually cost you, Master Dong, millions, wouldn't I lose face?"

Dong Wanqiu was taken aback, "That's not what I meant..."

Pi Yangyang smiled and said, "Master Dong, there's no need to discuss this matter. I have another request: I would like to invite you and Mr. Jiang to my wedding."

"Of course, we will definitely go and offer our congratulations!"

Dong Wanqiu said happily.

At this moment, Pi Yangyang turned around and shouted, "Grandpa Long!"

Long San quickly walked in, stood respectfully in front of him, and said, "Mr. Pi, please give your instructions."

Pi Yangyang said, "It's nothing, just an introduction. This is Master Dong, the owner of the embroidery shop. From now on, you can rent the house as you normally would."

Long San nodded and said, "Understood."

Pi Yangyang then introduced, "Master Dong, this Third Master Long is my friend. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can ask him for help."

Long San said respectfully, "Greetings, Master Dong. Rest assured, if anyone in the capital dares to offend you, just let me know."

Dong Wanqiu could tell that Long San had a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) spirit.

She was secretly astonished that this powerful figure in the underworld was so obedient to Pi Yangyang.

Clearly, Pi Yangyang is more than just a simple businessman.

She couldn't help but marvel at her incredible luck in meeting Pi Yangyang and gaining his support.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's head back now."

Pi Yangyang said calmly, having arranged everything.

Dong Wanqiu said, "Okay, if Mr. Pi has any other requests, please feel free to ask."

Pi Yangyang said, "I'm leaving everything to Master Dong and Liangyuan Wedding Planning. I have faith in your abilities."

Dong Wanqiu and Jiang Bianyue saw the embroidery shop off until Pi Yangyang, Su Xueqing, Zhao Jingang, and others drove away.

She then said to Jiang Bianyue beside her with emotion, "Bianyue, my daughter and I have really met a benefactor! It seems that our embroidery shop has hope."

Jiang Bian also remarked with emotion, "Mr. Pi is truly a capable and extraordinary person. There aren't many young people like him nowadays who are so interested in traditional culture."

“It’s not that there aren’t many, it’s that they’re extremely rare.” Dong Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. “For so many years, some Western countries, including Japan and South Korea, have been trying every means to export their culture to our country. Young people today may not know when Qingming Festival is, or how Mid-Autumn Festival originated. But when it comes to Christmas, Christmas Eve, and Valentine’s Day, they can rattle them off like the back of their hand… If this continues, they will completely forget what their ancestors left behind…”

Jiang Bianyue shook her head and said, "That's not the case. With people like Mr. Pi and Ms. Zhao around, our traditional culture won't be lost. Moreover, young people today are gradually awakening and starting to regain their cultural confidence, and they are no longer so enthusiastic about celebrating foreign holidays."

Dong Wanqiu hummed in agreement. "That's true. Alright then, Mr. Pi has helped us so much, the only way we can repay him is to keep the embroidery shop running well. Go and issue a notice that our embroidery shop will be accepting apprentices for free starting today. As long as they are willing to learn, we will teach them for free!"

Jiang Bianyue said without hesitation, "Okay, I support this decision."

After leaving the embroidery shop, Pi Yangyang and her group went to Yan Gui Lou.

Su Xueqing rarely gets a day off, and Pi Yangyang told her not to go back to the company today and to get some rest.

Upon arriving at Yan Gui Lou, Xu Lin arranged a private room for them.

Just as the group entered the private room, Pi Yangyang's phone rang.

He took a look and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Pi Yangyang hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, a voice with a hint of humility and respect came from the other end: "Mr. Pi, am I disturbing you? This is Bai Zhenxing..."

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "Clan Chief Bai? Is there something you need?"

Bai Zhenxing said cautiously, "The pond you asked us to dig in Bailong Mountain has been completed. The entire layout is done according to your instructions. When would you have time to come and take a look?"

Pi Yangyang was somewhat surprised, "You finished digging so quickly? It seems you really worked hard."

Bai Zhenxing said, "In order to appease our ancestors' anger as soon as possible, we have no choice but to go all out."

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "Alright, I'll come over tomorrow morning."

Bai Zhenxing said with delight, "Really? That's wonderful! Tomorrow I will bring all the members of the imperial clan to Bailong Mountain to await your arrival."

Pi Yangyang said, "Well, you still need to make some preparations today..."

"What is it? Please tell me." Bai Zhenxing now lowered his posture to an extremely low level, completely lacking the airs of a patriarch of a large family.

"It's very simple. Just prepare three sacrificial animals, yellow paper, cinnabar, incense sticks, and plain candles. Also, set up an incense table directly in front of the pond."

Pi Yangyang said calmly.

"Okay, okay, I've got it. I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away."

Bai Zhenxing said happily.

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

Pi Yangyang said one sentence and then hung up the phone.

After lunch, the group went shopping at the mall, and in the evening they went to a street food stall, ate something casual, and then went home.

As soon as she got home, Shen Yi called Su Xueqing.

"Xueqing, are you and Yangyang getting married?"

The call connected, and Shen Yi's happy voice came through.

Su Xueqing glanced at Xu Ma subconsciously, knowing that it was she who had told Shen Yi the news.

"Yes, it's decided," she replied.

Shen Yi said with a hint of reproach, "You child, you made such a big decision and didn't even call your mother? You had to have Aunt Xu tell me, otherwise I wouldn't have known..."

"Mom, it's still early. We're going on May 10th, so there are still two weeks left..." Su Xueqing said.

Shen Yi said, "It's getting late! There's a lot of preparation work to do for the wedding, otherwise we'll be in a rush. Okay, since you've decided, I'll come over tomorrow..."

"Oh? Coming tomorrow? Then who will take care of Vivi?"

Su Xueqing asked.

Shen Yi said, "Isn't Xiao Zhe there? He'll take care of picking us up and dropping us off. And for meals, Aunt Li is at home, isn't she?"

Su Xueqing thought for a moment and then decided not to say anything more, so she said, "Alright then, you can make arrangements at home and come stay for a while."

“Of course I’m coming. Yangyang has no family. As his mother, I have to take care of not only you, my daughter, but also his son.”

Shen Yi said it as a matter of course.

Su Xueqing turned to look at Pi Yangyang and said with a smile, "How did he become a son?"

"Oh, I treat him like a son, so what? Are you jealous about that?"

Shen Yi chuckled and replied.

"No... alright then, I'll wait for you."
