After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Before Chen Haiou could answer, a security guard came over with a smile on his face. He politely said through the rolled-down window, "Ma'am, our car is a bit in the way here. Could you move it a little?"

Chen Haiou had never before encountered such politeness from a security guard. If it had been a different car parked there, there's no way the guard would have had the same attitude.

"Of course, I'll move it right away."

Everyone was in the car when Chen Haiou pressed the gas pedal and drove off.

"Driving a luxury car really is different, huh? I've never seen a security guard be so polite."

After driving a short distance, Zhao Xiaohong couldn't help but express her feelings.

"Well, that's a Rolls Royce for you. It would be strange if he weren't polite!"

"Look at the cars next to us, they all intentionally keep their distance!"

Zhou Mudan chimed in.

Chen Haiou hadn't noticed that until Zhou Mudan mentioned it. Back when she used to drive a Passat, she'd only felt malice, with other cars always trying to cut her off.

Now, though, other drivers seemed to be consciously avoiding her—and no one even attempted to weave around her.

What Chen Haiou didn't realize was that she had unintentionally maxed out the buff of a female driver with a new luxury car.

Any driver with a bit of experience would steer clear of a female driver with a new car on the road, let alone one driving a luxury car worth tens of millions!

They'd definitely stay far away to avoid any scratches or bumps, which would just be a headache!

"Haiou, how did you suddenly strike it rich? You didn't mention anything at cards earlier."

Zhou Mudan continued the earlier conversation, asking curiously.

"That's a bit hard to explain. Maybe I'll tell you about it when there's a chance..."

Chen Haiou didn't plan to tell the whole truth. Zhou Mudan and Zhao Xiaohong were merely fair-weather friends; there was no need to be honest with them. Acting impressive was enough.

Actually, she felt it was rather sudden herself.

She'd been about to explode with anger when she saw her daughter's location on the map.

Now, though, she truly found the situation delightful!

Seeing that Chen Haiou wasn't keen on explaining, Zhou Mudan didn't pursue further. Everyone has their secrets, and that's perfectly normal, especially when it involves money!

"Ou, take me under your wing!"

"I'm definitely sticking with you!"

Seated in the back, Zhao Xiaohong continued to fawn.

"No problem," Chen Haiou responded with an obliging smile.

She drove the two women to a nearby mall and began shopping for bedding and daily necessities—all of which were high-end brands she had previously scrimped on.

"Ou, you really have made it big!"

"A bedding set costing over five thousand? That's just too extravagant!"

Zhao Xiaohong, who was pushing the shopping cart, exclaimed her amazement.

Zhou Mudan, on the other hand, felt envious. The sheer thrill of not looking at price tags was just too much—several of Chen Haiou's recent purchases were items Zhou Mudan had previously been too reluctant to splurge on.

Chen Haiou actually didn't have much in savings; she was using her credit card for the purchases. However, she wasn't worried at all since Yang Hao had just transferred five million to her daughter in her presence.

Buying household necessities for herself, it wouldn't be too much to ask her daughter to reimburse her, right?

And as for why she opted for such expensive bedding?

That was for an eighty-million-dollar mansion, after all. Even then, she felt as if they weren't quite up to par!

But she simply couldn't afford more than that.

"Ou, are you moving? You've bought so much bedding."

Zhao Xiaohong asked curiously again.

"Yes, I am moving," Chen Haiou confirmed.

"I'll take you guys to see my new place in a bit!" Chen Haiou replied cheerfully.

"Haiou, which community are you moving to?" Zhou Mudan asked tentatively, as the standard of the community usually determines the living environment and quality, and is also a direct reflection of one's financial capabilities.

"Shanshui Manor," Chen Haiou answered indifferently, casually flipping her hair and glancing nonchalantly at the stores nearby.

Just showing off.

Style really matters.

"Ah!!"

"Shanshui Manor???"

Just as Chen Haiou had expected, Zhou Mudan and Zhao Xiaohong were both surprised, their mouths gaping open in shock.

Shanshui Manor, being a top-tier villa complex, was extremely famous in Jiangcheng. After all, even the entry-level houses cost upwards of thirty million, so anyone living in Shanshui Manor was definitely wealthy.

Chen Haiou was quite satisfied with her plastic sisters' reactions. She smiled and added, "The house is perfect, just too big. Living there with Ruohan is like living in a maze!"

"Ou, take me to see the luxury house in Shanshui Manor!"

"You are my only connection there!!"

Having regained her composure, Zhao Xiaohong immediately grabbed Chen Haiou's hand and said.

"What do you mean 'experience' or not? I'll need your help and Hua's to move things..."

Chen Haiou pointed at the household items they had purchased in the shopping cart.

"It's no trouble at all, we're good sisters, aren't we!!"

Zhao Xiaohong replied immediately, all smiles.

Shopping ended.

Chen Haiou had swiped nearly a hundred thousand on her credit card without feeling the slightest bit of pain. After all, what was a hundred thousand to someone with an eighty-million-dollar mansion and a ten-million-dollar luxury car!

Leaving the mall, Chen Haiou brought the two back to Shanshui Manor.

After entering the 1260 square meter mansion, both of them were shocked once again!!

They had both seen villas of a few hundred square meters, but this was their first time inside one with over a thousand square meters, especially one so luxurious in its decor it resembled a palace. They couldn't imagine how awesome it would be to live there!!

"Ou, how many square meters is this villa?"

After being stunned for a good while, Zhao Xiaohong finally asked.

"1260 square meters."

Chen Haiou casually pointed to a sofa: "Hua, Xiaohong, take a seat."

"There's a card room on the first floor. You guys can come over to play cards when you have a chance."

"Also, there's an audio-visual room in the basement. It can be used as a KTV for singing, which is quite practical for us singers..."

Chen Haiou carried on describing the functionality of the villa.

Zhou Mudan and Zhao Xiaohong, besides being shocked and envious, were left with nothing but endless jealousy!

In the afternoon, everyone was just an ordinary person.

By evening, you became a super-rich woman living in an eighty-million-dollar mansion and driving a ten-million-dollar luxury car.

This was just too damn fantastical!

"Ou, if there was any offense I caused before, please don't hold it against me."

"From now on, I'll be following you, Ou!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhao Xiaohong immediately declared her loyalty; jealous as she might be, one had to cling tightly to such a super-rich woman's coattails.

Zhou Mudan, who had always been the core of their small circle, found it harder to swallow. Kowtowing like Zhao Xiaohong was not something she could do, but being over forty, she was well aware of what Chen Haiou's possessions signified.

From now on, the two of them were no longer of the same class. Regardless of how she came into the money, the fact remained that she had fixed assets worth over a hundred million, placing her firmly in the wealthy class.

After resting for a while, Chen Haiou had them help organize two bedrooms, one being the master bedroom on the third floor and the other on the second floor. Both bedrooms were over a hundred square meters in size and very spacious.

After the organizing, she took a video, hesitated for a moment and then sent it to Yang Hao, saying that the third floor was for him and his daughter Chen Ruohan, and she would live on the second floor.

She sent the video to convey two messages. First, she was informing Yang Hao that she had moved in, and second, that they could come back to live there anytime.

Beyond that, she was also suggesting to Yang Hao that if he returned, she would be living right below him and his daughter, meaning the three of them would be living under the same roof.

As for whether there were any other stories, that would depend on the tacit understanding between the two...

A moment after sending the video, she received a reply from Yang Hao: Ou, you've worked hard!

Chen Haiou thought that would be the end of it, but then Yang Hao asked her for her bank account number, saying that since Chen Ruohan was too young, he would transfer the living expenses to her account first and let her manage the distribution.

Chen Haiou hesitated for a moment, then sent her bank information.

A minute later.

She received a bank text message: a transfer of two million from Yang Hao had been received!

Uh?

Two million?

We agreed on a million a month for living expenses, what does transferring two million mean??
