Chapter 5 - Something Convenient

With a beautiful woman inviting him, Xu Zimo had no reason to refuse.

Finally, based on their preferences, Lu Jiaqi chose a decent Hunan restaurant.

Xu Zimo was embarrassed.

Although the Newbie Gift Pack (newbie gift pack) included a luxury mansion, he didn't have a car at the moment. If he hadn't just completed a task, he probably wouldn't even have been able to afford the bill.

It's supposed to be a magnate/tycoon system, yet it's so stingy.

"Ding: If the Host does not need it, this system will unbind immediately and randomly bind to a lucky reader."

No, don't!

Xu Zimo suddenly felt that doing tasks was quite good;'self-reliance leads to abundance,' after all.

"Mr. Xu, would you like to take my car?"

"Okay!"

Xu Zimo didn't explain why he hadn't driven over, letting Lu Jiaqi fill in the blanks herself.

After they walked out, they arrived at the outdoor parking lot. Lu Jiaqi walked ahead, her figure swaying, quite alluring.

This scene was witnessed by Wang Pingping and Huang Yuqing, who had not held out much hope.

"He really bought a house in Binjiang Bay?"

Huang Yuqing found it incredible. Lu Jiaqi clearly looked like a sales agent for Binjiang Bay, and her politeness towards Xu Zimo clearly indicated he was a client.

Wang Pingping, standing by, was agitated, exclaiming, "Good! He really did hide his assets!"

All that money was hers!

She wanted half!

No, since Xu Zimo was at fault first for hiding marital assets, he should leave with nothing!

She was about to get out of the car to catch him in the act, but Xu Zimo had already gotten into Lu Jiaqi's car and quickly drove away from another exit.

Wang Pingping stomped her feet in anger.

Huang Yuqing comforted her, "Pingping, no need to rush. What's yours won't run away. Why not find a lawyer to investigate?"

"Right, find a lawyer! I was deceived by him. He hid such a massive amount of marital property, which is a major fault, so he should leave with nothing!"

Wang Pingping then urgently asked Huang Yuqing to take her to a lawyer.

The law firm, of course, took this case seriously.

If Xu Zimo really did hide marital assets, while leaving with nothing might not be possible, with such a huge amount, the lawyer's fees would not be a small sum.

So, the lawyer who received them naturally took it seriously.

"Lawyer Chen, you must make him leave with nothing!"

Wang Pingping's mind was filled with millions, only wanting to get the luxury mansion that belonged to her!

"Ms. Wang, please don't rush. Our law firm can apply for authorization to investigate the source of all assets under your ex-husband's name, but it will take some time."

"It still needs time? Why can't it be done now?"

Wang Pingping was very anxious, as if she was afraid Xu Zimo would squander her money.

Lawyer Chen was helpless but still patiently explained the law to her, as all evidence sources had to be reasonable and legal, and he comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as your ex-husband concealed marital assets, no matter how much time has passed, we can recover it for you."

There was no other way, so Wang Pingping could only go back to Huang Yuqing's place to wait for news.

On the other side.

Wang Qiang and a few friends were having a blast. He even ordered two girls for himself, with one on each side, having a great time.

According to unspoken rules, he could pay for the drinks, but he had to pay for the girls he ordered himself. With the 15,000 promised by Xu Zimo, it was more than enough.

"Brother, stop touching, let's sing a song."

A heavily made-up girl beside him was getting a bit fed up with him; her stockings were full of holes.

Why was this man acting like he had never seen a woman before?

Wang Qiang also felt bitter. Although his girlfriend was beautiful, she wouldn't let him touch her without a marriage certificate. Although he was still studying for the civil service exam and had no income, he had a good older sister.

He roughly calculated the price of the drinks, leaned into a girl's ear for a conversation, and then the two went into the restroom.

A minute later, Wang Qiang walked out of the restroom, lit a cigarette, and had already entered a state of 'desirelessness.'

"Brother Qiang, my partner is urging me to go home. How about we leave?" One of his friends approached him after taking a call.

"Alright."

Wang Qiang also felt bored. He immediately opened the green bubble, and the next moment, his brows furrowed.

It was already five in the afternoon, and Xu Zimo still hadn't transferred the money to him. A surge of anger rose, and he immediately typed: "What are you doing? Why haven't you transferred the money to me yet?"

His tone was as impolite as ever.

But a glaring exclamation mark popped up on the green bubble.

"???"

Wang Qiang was stunned. His once accommodating, good-for-nothing brother-in-law had actually blocked him?!

It was known that the Wang family had never been satisfied with Xu Zimo, the reason being that his family was poor, without money.

Wang Qiang also felt that this brother-in-law was simply unworthy of his older sister, so he wouldn't even call him 'brother-in-law.'

After a momentary daze, Wang Qiang quickly snapped back to reality, an unnamed rage burning fiercely in his chest. "Damn Xu Zimo, how dare you block me?"

His tone was filled with indignation, as if Xu Zimo had committed some heinous crime.

However, he couldn't directly vent this anger.

After all, he was at a commercial KTV, and he couldn't directly tell his sister Wang Pingping, but this didn't stop him from making trouble and speaking ill of Xu Zimo.

Wang Pingping's growing coldness and increasing disdain for Xu Zimo were undoubtedly fueled by the attitude of her younger brother, Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang immediately called Xu Zimo. As soon as the call connected, he roared, "Xu Zimo, you dog, why did you block me?"

"Beep beep..."

The call was hung up. He called again, but the earpiece replied: "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected temporarily..."

Wang Qiang's face instantly changed.

Even if he was stupid, he clearly understood that Xu Zimo had blocked him on both the green bubble and his phone.

He'd been tricked!

Originally, he just wanted to extort some money from Xu Zimo for a foot massage or something, but Xu Zimo had unexpectedly said he could give him 15,000.

His family also had no money, and because of preparations for his wedding, his parents and sister were almost drained. Where was he going to get over 10,000 yuan now?

If he couldn't come up with the money... Looking at the 'friends' around him and the two girls whose expressions had suddenly changed, Wang Qiang couldn't help but shiver.

Xu Zimo was eating with Lu Jiaqi. Although he had hung up the phone, he had heard the noisy sounds from the other end just now.

If it were just regular KTV, there clearly wouldn't be girls' laughter.

Although he had never been to a commercial KTV, he knew that such places were not cheap.

Wang Qiang calling him so frantically probably meant he couldn't come up with the money. He was about to put down his phone but seemed to have thought of something.

Xu Zimo decided to help his brother-in-law out.

He found someone named [Tang Xinyi] in the green bubble and sent her a message: "Tang Xinyi, it seems Qiangzi is in a bit of trouble. You should contact him."

This Tang Xinyi was actually a good girl, but unfortunately, she was blind enough to choose Wang Qiang.

"Brother Xu, is something wrong?"

Lu Jiaqi asked cautiously.

Xu Zimo was different from the rich people she had met; he had no airs, so they got along quite well.

"Nothing."

Xu Zimo was in a great mood and felt that this meal tasted especially good today.
