Xie Mei Lan was an investor who also had some knowledge of the law.
She immediately thought of a problem, gritting her teeth and glaring at Shen Lei.
“Shen Lei, you took advantage of my ignorance and tricked me into signing this contract.
This contract is invalid. I deserve at least half of the future auction proceeds from this bowl…”
Shen Lei was very unhappy at the time, he couldn't let that woman get away with anything.
He laughed and said, “Xie Mei Lan, I finally figured out your IQ.
You actually believe that someone like me, who's always having bad luck, could be so fortunate?
You actually believe that so many appraisal masters in Beijing would let a valuable antique worth tens of millions be used as a cat bowl in our rundown home?
Your intelligence is questionable. No wonder your boss can manipulate you.
It seems like you have a low IQ and need to top up your mental power…”
This ridicule turned Xie Mei Lan's face pale. She completely believed that Shen Lei had tricked her.
That broken bowl was not an antique at all, but an insult to her intelligence.
She glared at Shen Lei and said, “Shen Lei, when did you become so boring!”
“Ding Dong! Received 8888 points of resentment from Xie Mei Lan!
Ding Dong! Received 9999 points of resentment from Xie Mei Lan!”
…
Xie Mei Lan was about to leave in a huff, but Shen Lei chuckled, “Xie Mei Lan, let me remind you of something else.
Don't live in the big penthouse your boss gave you. It's a haunted house, someone died there.
Your body is also a haunted house, someone died in it. It's easy for paranormal events to happen to you.
In the dead of night, a female ghost will press down on you…”
Xie Mei Lan scoffed at first, but as she listened, she felt like she had actually experienced the horror of sleep paralysis.
It was as if her boss had really given her a penthouse where someone had died, and a ghost was truly circling her in the middle of the night.
At that moment, Xie Mei Lan was trembling with fear, she even wanted to jump into Shen Lei's arms for comfort.
She didn't know that Shen Lei possessed a special skill—the power to mimic real-life sounds, specifically for scaring people.
Seeing Xie Mei Lan trembling with fear and wanting to jump into his arms for safety, Shen Lei was disgusted and pushed her away.
Xie Mei Lan finally realized that she had been scared by Shen Lei's words.
She glared at Shen Lei and said, “You're really boring!”
“Ding Dong! Received 8888 points of resentment from Xie Mei Lan!
Ding Dong! Received 9999 points of resentment from Xie Mei Lan!”
…
After that, Xie Mei Lan left.
But she was indeed afraid to live in the penthouse her boss gave her, so she packed her bags and went to stay at a hotel.
After Xie Mei Lan left, Shen Lei happily accepted the system's rewards.
“Ding Dong, resentment has accumulated to 10,000 points, starting the lottery.
Congratulations, you have won a penthouse in Jun Yue Mansion, 260 square meters, valued at 52 million!”
Shen Lei thought the name Jun Yue Mansion sounded familiar. He suddenly remembered,
It seems like this house is where Gu Jia, the famous virtuous and perfect wife in "Thirty Only" lived!
Shen Lei was really envious of Gu Jia's husband Xu Huan Shan. He had such a perfect wife like Gu Jia.
Thinking back to "Thirty Only", whenever Gu Jia and Xu Huan Shan communicated, she always used gentle and affirmative words to express her support and appreciation for Xu Huan Shan.
Gu Jia could not only create a harmonious atmosphere in the family but also handle various relationships effortlessly in social settings.
Gu Jia not only managed household affairs in an orderly manner, but she also carefully cared for her son's life and studies.
At the same time, Gu Jia could also handle relationships with relatives, friends, neighbors, and various service personnel smoothly, making the whole family run smoothly and efficiently.
Most importantly, Gu Jia gave Xu Huan Shan great support in his career.
She not only encouraged Xu Huan Shan to bravely pursue his dreams but also stood up without hesitation to support and help him when he encountered difficulties.
Gu Jia once helped Xu Huan Shan develop new customer resources. Her courage and ability were truly impressive.
At the same time, Shen Lei couldn't help but reflect on his own marriage life.
His soon-to-be ex-wife Xie Mei Lan did have her strengths, but compared to Gu Jia, she was lacking in many aspects.
Xie Mei Lan often got angry over trivial matters, creating a tense atmosphere in the family.
She also seemed a bit overwhelmed when it came to family management and often needed Shen Lei's help to clean up the mess.
As for her career, Xie Mei Lan never gave Shen Lei any real help.
A wife who only drains energy in the family—should he not divorce her and wait for Qingming Festival?
At this moment, Shen Lei realized that although he had signed the divorce agreement, he hadn't yet made an appointment with Xie Mei Lan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce.
He sent a message to Xie Mei Lan: “Tomorrow morning at 9:00, meet at the district Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Xie Mei Lan quickly replied: “Okay.”
Shen Lei was still worried about going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to officially divorce Xie Mei Lan. He was worried that the 52 million penthouse would be considered marital property and she would demand a share of it.
Shen Lei could now see that his soon-to-be ex-wife was a gold digger who cared only about money. She was not as high-minded as she claimed to be.
If Xie Mei Lan knew that he now owned a penthouse worth 52 million, she would definitely sue him for divorce and demand a share of the property.
What should he do now?
The system prompted: “Master, your brother-in-law Na Wei's brother Na Juan's ex-girlfriend Li Xiao Yue is currently having dinner with her girlfriends, celebrating her return to single life.
Later, Li Xiao Yue will invite them to go sing.
Please go find Li Xiao Yue and bring her to this penthouse in Jun Yue Mansion.
There will be the property certificate and related documents. Once Xie Mei Lan knows that the owner of the property is Li Xiao Yue, she will have no right to a share!
If Xie Mei Lan doesn't know, the property certificate will show that the owner is you.
Anyway, this mansion will eventually be used by you to keep Li Xiao Yue, there's no difference anyway.”
Shen Lei thought of his brother-in-law Na Wei's brother Na Juan's ex-girlfriend Li Xiao Yue, and couldn't help but smile.
The pure and sweet Li Xiao Yue was his true soulmate.
However, Shen Lei had doubts and couldn't help but ask the system, “But the problem is, Li Xiao Yue's parents passed away when she was in high school. She finished university through part-time work, and her previous salary was always low. How could she possibly afford such a penthouse?”
The system explained: “In the time and space where you are now, there are not only characters from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Li Xiao Yue has other relatives besides her deceased parents. She just doesn't know about them. Once you are officially together, her unknown background and identity will be exposed… ”
Shen Lei suddenly remembered that this time and space was based on the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" universe, but there were also characters from other TV series universes, such as "Thirty Only", "Twenty Not Confused", "Let's Get Married", "Joy of Life", "Ode to Joy", etc., and even characters from "River Runs Deep" might appear, like Gu Sen Xiang, who looks exactly like Li Xiao Yue…
Thinking about it, Li Xiao Yue might really have an undisclosed background and identity…
This made Shen Lei even more interested in his future girlfriend…
