Chapter 8 Sell this

"It should be."

money.

Li Chi'an had never felt it was so important before.

A pang of sadness struck her, but she also understood that Gao Yinxi was right. "Just put me down in front of you later."

"What, is there something else you need to do?"

"Um."

"Where are you going?" Gao Yinxi had a lot to do, but she was worried about Li Chi'an wandering around outside alone.

Li Chi'an pondered for a moment, then reached for the back seat. "I'm going to return this."

She took out the men's diamond-encrusted watch she had just bought yesterday from her bag, and placed the black Chanel bag on her lap. "Sell this."

"Sell it, you can get tens of thousands of yuan." Gao Yinxi was delighted when she heard that.

Turning her head, she couldn't help but sigh, "If this bag were yours, I definitely wouldn't let you sell it."

If you keep it, the price might go up further.

Li Chi'an knew that too.

But there's no need to keep any of these. "I'll sell this one today, and I'll sell my own another day."

This Chanel quilted bag is a classic. She has had her own for almost ten years. It was the first designer bag Chen Li gave her.

My eyebrows furrowed slightly, and another wave of nausea rose from my stomach.

Gao Yinxi slowed down the car, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Chian, "Let me see where there is a pharmacy, I'll buy you a bottle of Xiaoyao Pills."

Li Chi'an covered his mouth with a tissue, vomiting until tears streamed down his face. He felt nothing but anger.

After calming down, he said, "I need to buy a few more bottles of Xiaoyao Pills."

As luck would have it, there was a pharmacy right next door that was open, and there was parking available in front of it.

Gao Yinxi slowly stopped the car and reached to unbuckle her seatbelt. "I'll go buy you Xiaoyao Pills."

Li Chi'an raised his hand to stop her, "I'll go, you stay in the car and keep an eye on things."

This road is near the city government, and the traffic police are strict in the area, with many surveillance cameras.

...

"Whether you say it or not, you're still quite clever."

After taking the medicine, returning the watch, and selling the bag, Gao Yinxi also inquired about the prices of items in the house that could be decluttered and replaced. After a quick and easy trip, Gao Yinxi drove Li Chi'an around and the latter had about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan more in his bank account.

That should be enough to tide us over for a while.

Not only was Li Chian relieved, but Gao Yinxi was also happy.

In yesterday's situation, her daughter was able to decisively take two relatively valuable items and escape safely from the house. This ability to maximize value and adapt to changing circumstances surpasses that of many people.

"Well, you have to plan for the future," Li Chi'an said with a wry smile. "I used to live in a daze and never seriously considered money. These past two days, reality has taught me a harsh lesson."

Based on their relationship, Gao Yinxi already had a good understanding of Li Chi'an and her family's finances.

However, compared to previous rough estimates of her...

Li Chi'an's complete confession to Attorney Wei today still surprised her.

She never imagined that her dear daughter, who was so intelligent, would be so untrustworthy with money when it came to her family.

This has led to the predicament we face today.

"Sigh—" Gao Yinxi's anger towards Chen Li wouldn't dissipate anytime soon. "That's because Chen Li is too good at lying."

She said, "Your relationship was so smooth, if it hadn't come to this point, who would have known that he was a ghost in human skin?"

We've been married for seven years, together for eleven, and known each other for thirteen.

Li Chi'an's eyes reddened again. After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, turned her head and buried her face in the passenger seat, trembling as she cried quietly.

The person next to him was already immersed in the undercurrent of memories, his heart heavy with unspoken thoughts.

Gao Yinxi slowed her breathing, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the steering wheel as if knocking on a door that was difficult to open, and the car slowly merged into the river of the city streets.

The sky was a clear, deep blue at the horizon, and the sun's golden rays, which had been shining brightly on the earth, were quickly swallowed up by leaden clouds.

After Li Chi'an had finished crying for a while...

Gao Yinxi spoke slowly, "I think it would be better for you to move out for a while."

"Why should I be the one to move out?" Li Chian sniffed, angrily. "I'm not the one who did anything wrong."

Gao Yinxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw her like this, and gently coaxed her, "Then let's work together to kick Chen Li out."

"Yes, we should kick him out." Li Chi'an wiped the tears from his nose and face with a tissue.

There's only one house, and she's unwilling and won't live with Chen Li again; she won't even consider it.

“That’s good. When do you want us to go to your house and help you kick Chen Li out?” Gao Yinxi was happy to see Li Chian stand up for himself.

"Let's wait a couple of days," Li Chi'an said softly. "I don't want to see him right now."

“Okay.” Gao Yinxi respected all her decisions. “You can stay at my hotel for now.”

When the topic of hotels came up, Li Chi'an became sad again, but he didn't try to save up. "I can't afford to stay at your hotel right now. I need to save up."

Saving money to fight the lawsuit against Chen Li, saving money to raise the child, and saving money to make a living.

Once you decide to divorce, you're faced with a whole host of stark realities in life.

"What are you saying?" Gao Yinxi was speechless. "Do you think I'd ask you to pay?"

“I can’t let you pay for this,” Li Chi’an said softly. “You’ve already given me a cell phone.”

Although Gao Yinxi is the president of Six Senses Hotel, it doesn't belong to her alone.

Those belong to the Gao family.

She doesn't own a large stake in the hotel herself, but she has the title of "President," which sounds nice.

In reality, those close to her knew that compared to her contributions, Gao Yinxi's share in Six Senses was nothing more than that of a high-class servant in the Gao family.

As a friend, it's fine for her to stay there for a day or two and have Gao Yinxi pay for it, but staying longer is definitely not acceptable.

It's not free.

...

Bishui Villa.

Gao Yinxi opened the door and heard the sound of a television playing in the house. Her favorite period drama was on.

My previously low mood improved somewhat.

She put her bag in the cabinet next to her, changed into slippers and went inside. She immediately saw Yuan Ergeng packing his things.

"You're back so early."

There were many bags scattered around Yuan Ergeng, indicating that he had taken some time to go to the supermarket for a big shopping spree.

He looked up and was quite happy to see Gao Yinxi enter.

"Why are you back so early?"

Both of them are workaholics and rarely leave work before dark.

It's only a little past six in the afternoon, and the sky outside is still bright. Bright light streams in through the large French windows, casting large patches of dappled light and shadow on the walls, adding a touch of tranquility to this exquisite and luxurious home.

"I came back on the way after finishing my business."

Yuan Ergeng took a bucket of beef jerky from a bag in front of him and handed it to her, saying, "Try this, it's delicious."
