Shen Lei asked with a smile: “Sis, what position are you in when you're talking to me on the phone?”
Shen Lin, on the other end of the phone, asked in confusion: "What does this good news have to do with my current position when talking to you on the phone?
I'm already back home, talking to you while making baby formula."
Shen Lei quickly said: "Sis, put down the bottle first and sit down.
I'm worried that you might be too shocked to hear this news and end up dropping the bottle."
Shen Lin immediately put down the bottle, sat on the sofa, and asked impatiently, "What good news is it that makes you so serious?"
Shen Lei laughed: "Since I divorced that woman, Xie Mei Lan, my brother has been turning his luck around.
The day I finished the divorce proceedings with Xie Mei Lan, I had a hunch that my luck was going to change, so I bought two lottery tickets, the same number, 10 bets on each ticket.
Now the results are out, I won the first prize!”
Shen Lin was extremely surprised: "20 first-prize Double Color Ball tickets, wouldn't that be 100 million?"
My goodness, little brother, you really have turned your luck around!
This is great news!
Wait, let me check what date it is today, it's not April 1st, right? You're not fooling me, are you?”
Shen Lei laughed: “Is there any need to fool you about this?”
Shen Lin was immediately overjoyed, smiling and saying: "Great, great!
Brother, you've really made it!
This is so dramatic!
If Xie Mei Lan knew this, she would be heartbroken!
I want to call Xie Mei Lan now."
Even now, Shen Lin still holds a grudge against Xie Mei Lan for aborting the child she had with Shen Lei and divorcing him.
Shen Lin is actually a positive example of a "brother-doer," always believing that her younger brother Shen Lei is exceptionally talented, and that Xie Mei Lan couldn't see his worth, she was simply blind and shortsighted.
Shen Lei sighed with a wry smile: "Sis, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
What if this woman becomes greedy and insists on suing me? What then?
Nowadays, most of the decision-makers in charge of handling such cases are women, and they tend to favor the female side.
Maybe if I went to court, I would really have to give her half of it.
Shen Lin thought it was incredible, scoffing: "How is that possible?
Didn't you buy the lottery tickets after divorcing her?
There's no way you would have to give her half!
She wouldn't get a single cent!”
Shen Lei chuckled: "Sis, you're a good woman, you don't understand how unreasonable and domineering these modern women are… "
Shen Lin has also heard that some women nowadays are becoming increasingly brainless and unreasonable.
They, as virtuous wives and mothers, simply couldn't understand those women's logic.
Shen Lin said: "Forget it, let's not talk about those people, it's bad luck!
Shall we call our parents now and let them be happy too?"
Shen Lei couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Sis, do you think our parents can handle such a surprise?
I'm really afraid that they might be overwhelmed with joy, which would be bad for their health."
Shen Lin realized it at that moment: "Shen Lei, you've really grown up and matured, your thinking is now comprehensive and thoughtful!
Yes, it's 100 million, that's astronomical!
If our parents knew, they might faint from happiness!
Let's just tell them that we won 1 million.
1 million should be a number they can handle without fainting…”
Shen Lei quickly interrupted Shen Lin, directly saying: "Sis, let's talk to Mom and Dad about my divorce and winning later.
I don't want them to worry now.
I've decided to give you 50 million.
I'll pick you up tomorrow, and we'll go to the lottery center together to claim the prize.”
Although Shen Lin was very happy for her brother Shen Lei, she also felt it was sudden, so she paused and asked, "Why give me 50 million?
You earned this money by pure luck, you're financially independent, just enjoy your life, your sister doesn't need the money!”
Shen Lei laughed: "Sis, my dear sister!
Do you really think I'm giving you 50 million out of the blue for you to live on, you wish!
Shen Lin on the other end of the phone couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You little rascal, you're getting more and more mischievous!
Tell your sister honestly, what's your plan?"
Shen Lei now said seriously: "Sis, on one hand, I'm considering that Xie Mei Lan might find out about my 100 million prize and cause trouble.
On the other hand, I'm also thinking that winning 100 million might affect my future career.
I still plan to keep working within the system.
So, out of this 100 million, I'm planning to give you 50 million and the other 50 million to Li Xiao Yue..."
Before Shen Lei could even mention the investment company, Shen Lin couldn't take it anymore.
She now had a strong misunderstanding about Li Xiao Yue,
She felt that Li Xiao Yue was so quick to break up with Na Jun and turn to her brother Shen Lei,
because she knew that Shen Lei had made a few million by luck and now won 100 million in the lottery.
Shen Lin misconstrued Li Xiao Yue as being just like Xie Mei Lan, a vain, materialistic, woman who prefers wealth over poverty.
Shen Lin interrupted Shen Lei: "Shen Lei, I know it's not appropriate to say this now,
but I can't help but remind you, you can't fall into the same ditch twice!
The reason your marriage failed last time was because you didn't understand women!
After your divorce, you should have calmed down for a while, reflected on yourself, and not rushed into another relationship..."
Although Shen Lin tried to be as subtle as possible, the intelligent Li Xiao Yue still sensed that there was something in her words.
She couldn't help but frown and wanted to retort…
