After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

“Less talk!”

“Let’s hear it.”

Huang Qing glared at her younger brother.

“Actually, it’s nothing much, a man like the brother-in-law, he’s got too many women throwing themselves at him.”

“I believe the one I saw at the villa was his assistant…”

Huang Ji briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in Hucheng, and naturally, he still hoped that his sister would become the legitimate wife.

Even before the two were married, Yang Hao had already invested in the biggest bar in Jiangcheng for his sister, on top of managing the Haojue Club and Foot Bath City.

The scale of the business managed by sister Huang Qing was already close to a billion yuan.

He himself had also become a major manager at Windchaser Luxury Cars, so in Huang Ji’s view, clinging onto the brother-in-law’s coattails was extremely important.

After hearing Huang Ji’s description, Huang Qing remained silent. Recently, she had also seen some news about Yang Hao online, and it was impossible for her not to feel a sense of crisis.

However, it was useless to be anxious about such matters, as she was in Jiangcheng while Yang Hao had been in Hucheng lately, and they couldn’t even see each other’s faces.

That was also the reason Huang Qing decided to take a trip to Xiangyang after hearing what Ye Wei had said.

“Qing, so this trip to Xiangyang is really necessary, right?” Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

Ye Wei said from the side.

Huang Qing nodded, “I just happen to talk to Hao face to face about the bar’s opening.”

“We should definitely talk about it.”

“Hao is the real big boss of the bar after all.”

“For such an important event as the bar’s opening, of course he has to be there!”

Ye Wei echoed the sentiment, knowing that her best friend was just making an excuse; things like the bar’s opening could be discussed over the phone, but she understood the sentiment.

In fact, she was even more anxious than her best friend, because her situation was similar to Huang Ji’s: only if the relationship between Huang Qing and Yang Hao was stable would she and Huang Ji have good days ahead.

At the entrance of Starlight Homeland community.

Niu Lulu had been waiting here, wearing a light yellow dress, with her long hair naturally falling over her shoulders, and with her fair looks and figure, she attracted quite a few glances from passersby.

“Lulu, where are you going?”

While Niu Lulu was waiting, a girl with a petite figure and delicate makeup happened to walk by, accompanied by a tall man wearing black-framed glasses.

The girl was Niu Lulu’s university classmate and roommate, Zheng Xue, and they currently shared a two-bedroom apartment.

The man with the black-framed glasses was Zheng Xue’s boyfriend, Liu Dayu.

“I’m going to Xiangyang.”

This wasn’t really something to conceal, and Niu Lulu had actually been thinking about sending Zheng Xue a Weixun message to let her know.

After all, they were roommates who shared an apartment, and not going home at night warranted at least a heads-up.

“Why head to Xiangyang so suddenly?”

“Isn’t your orientation training not over yet?”

Zheng Xue asked curiously.

“Tomorrow is my grandfather’s eightieth birthday banquet, and I need to attend!”

“Huh, I remember you said you weren’t going before.”

Zheng Xue and Niu Lulu were quite close, otherwise they wouldn’t be sharing an apartment. Niu Lulu had previously discussed this matter with her during a casual conversation.

“Some things have changed, so I need to go back!”

Niu Lulu replied offhandedly.

“It’s the old man’s eightieth birthday banquet, so it’s only right to attend!”

At this moment, Liu Dayu joined in the conversation and then he asked, “Lulu, are you heading to the high-speed train station?”

“It’s hard to catch a taxi at this time, so how about I give you a ride?”

As Liu Dayu spoke, he casually pulled out the car keys from his pocket and wiped the Lexus emblem on the keys with his finger.

The car Liu Dayu drove was a Lexus es, but it was a second-hand vehicle that had changed hands five times and was already eleven years old by the time it reached him.

Nevertheless, Liu Dayu still treasured it like a precious gem and even felt a sense of superiority for driving a Lexus!

It’s undeniable that for a long time, most of the Lexus models held their value incredibly well.

But now it’s already 2024, and in just a few months it will be 2025, the car market has completely changed.

The myth of Lexus’s value retention has been shattered, cars that used to be sold at premium just to take delivery are now offered with all kinds of discounts, yet sales are still not looking up.

It just goes to show that consumers have woken up; no one wants to play the sucker paying extra for their cars anymore.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the rise of domestic cars. In the price range below 300,000, domestic cars have pushed the cost-performance ratio to the extreme.

So much so that even joint venture cars have had to reduce their prices; that’s why even if you don’t like domestic cars, you have to thank them for their rise, or else you might still have to spend 160,000 to 170,000 just to buy a plasticky Toyota Corolla Hybrid.

Liu Dayu was clearly a die-hard fan of joint venture cars, convinced that driving a fifth-hand Lexus was still a matter of great prestige in his mind.

However, after he offered to drive Niu Lulu to the high-speed train station, Zheng Xue’s expression noticeably changed; she could probably guess the ulterior motive behind her boyfriend’s gesture.

Lately, whenever her boyfriend had time, he would run over to the rented apartment she shared with Niu Lulu, claiming to keep her company but always looking for opportunities to chat with Niu Lulu, obviously having taken a liking to her good friend.

“No need, someone’s coming to pick me up.”

“Thanks, though.”

Niu Lulu wasn’t naive; she had long sensed Liu Dayu’s ulterior motives towards her.

But Liu Dayu was not her type at all; although he was quite tall, he was very average-looking and somewhat greasy.

She had even indirectly advised her good friend Zheng Xue to think carefully about her relationship.

Liu Dayu, who was turned down, slightly raised his eyebrows, but he kept a smile on his face and tentatively asked, “Lulu, you don’t have a boyfriend now, do you?”

“Yeah, sort of!”

Niu Lulu followed up on Liu Dayu’s words with a response designed to discourage any improper thoughts he might have about her.

“Really got one!”

A look of disappointment appeared on Liu Dayu’s face.

However, Zheng Xue, on the other hand, had a smile on her face and teased, “Lulu, you’re really good at keeping secrets.”

“Tell us, who is it?”

“The new supervisor at your unit??”

Niu Lulu had both looks and figure, and indeed she had no shortage of admirers around her.

“Lulu, you’ve got to choose your boyfriend wisely.”

“I won’t say anything else, but economic strength has to be passable at least.”

“The car he drives can’t be worse than mine, right!”

Liu Dayu went on and purposely jiggled the car keys in his hand.

But just then, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly pulled up to the curb.

For a moment, the eyes of passersby were all drawn to it.

“Damn, a Rolls-Royce Phantom!”

Liu Dayu couldn’t help but let out a curse, having forgotten all about his pretentious act.

Zheng Xue was also stunned, remarking, “That car is truly imposing!”

And while the two were expressing their amazement, the privacy glass in the back of the Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly rolled down, and a glamorous woman waved at Niu Lulu on the sidewalk, “Lulu, get in!”
