"Money?" Zhou Chunhua exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Yao's eyes also cleared up considerably in an instant.

"No wonder, he had a secret stash of cash. And he withdrew the cash even before I applied for pre-litigation asset preservation for you. It seems that even if you don't file for divorce, he's already preparing to divorce you."

You're lucky! He filed for divorce before he finished transferring the assets. If it had been any later, you might not have gotten anything.

Zhou Chunhua felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her fingertips were numb from the cold.

"So, I can't get the money he hid back?"

Gu Yao nodded.

"Unless he agrees voluntarily. Even if we recover the building, we can only take the building itself! We can't take what's inside."

"How much money can that small box hold?"

"That's hard to say. In terms of money, a box of this model costs 490,000."

Zhou Chunhua shook her head.

"But...how could he have so much money with a monthly salary of over 30,000?"

Four hundred thousand a year, four million in ten years, and even if you don't spend a penny in twenty years, it's only eight million.

"Heh, you! What era are we living in? Who still only cares about wages? He's doing these things behind people's backs, aren't you angry?" Gu Yao asked.

"Don't be angry. I'll get it back from him." Zhou Chunhua took a deep breath and calmly started eating her meal.

Gu Yao closed his laptop, put it aside, and then moved the dishes closer to them.

"I was originally going to tell you that since he was the one who broke the contract, we shouldn't be too strict with ourselves. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded."

Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.

Perhaps it was because they spent more time together that the awkwardness between them lessened and their understanding deepened.

For example, after finishing their meal, Gu Yao would take away the bowls and chopsticks, and she would put the leftover soup and trash into bags and pack them up.

She wipes the table and moves the chairs, and he cleans the floor.

Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but recall this ridiculous and pathetic more than 20 years of married life. Every day, she was the one who bought groceries, cooked, cleaned, and did all the chores.

It's funny, but when it comes to meals, they're a family, but when it comes to doing things, she's all alone.

After cleaning up, Gu Yao took her home.

Neither of them spoke on the way.

Gu Yao seemed preoccupied, while she was thinking about when to go find Liao Nanxing.

As before, Gu Yao escorted her to the elevator entrance in the underground parking lot and watched her enter the elevator.

As soon as Zhou Chunhua stepped out of the elevator, her phone rang.

It was Nana calling.

She smiled slightly; Nana must have been checking up on her since she hadn't come home yet.

He pressed the call button and said, "I'm at my doorstep."

"Flowers, flowers! I'm coming to pick me up, Diamond Number One."

"How much did you drink?" she asked hurriedly. "Where are you?"

"Huh? Me? I'm at Diamond One..."

Judging from the sound, he seemed to have drunk quite a bit, and it was very noisy on the phone.

Just as I was about to ask for the address again, I heard Nana yelling "Don't touch me!" from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Chunhua panicked immediately, and before she could even speak, the phone was hung up.

She entered the elevator, hurriedly pressed the button, and then opened the location sharing app on her phone.

This was installed by the saleswoman when Nana bought her a phone.

It was said to make it easier for her to find him at any time.

Soon, she saw the icon representing Nana's location on the minimap on the screen.

"Kindis?"

Just as I was about to check the detailed address, the elevator doors opened with a ding.

I was in a hurry just now and pressed the wrong button, habitually going down to the -1 level.

He quickly pressed the 1st floor button and anxiously pressed the close button.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, she suddenly realized that Gu Yao's car was still parked in the same spot.

Why is his car still here?

Before I could think any further, the elevator doors opened again, and we were on the first floor.

Zhou Chunhua hurriedly went out, hailed a taxi, and gave the driver the name Jin Disi.

The taxi's slow, steady start made Zhou Chunhua break out in a cold sweat.

"Master, can you hurry? I'm in a rush."

"Sister, that's a nightclub, and it's a hospital. Is there really no need to rush?"

Zhou Chunhua didn't bother with any more talk, took out her phone, and directly scanned the code to pay 500 yuan.

The car speed immediately changed when the payment notification sounded.

Ten minutes later, her location on the phone was very close to Nana's.

Having lived for over forty years, this was the first time she had ever been to a place like this.

Ignoring his fear, he rushed inside, head down.

The tinkling music made her ears ring.

In the flickering light, the smells of perfume and cigarettes mingled together, creating a strange and lingering odor.

Luckily, I found a waiter who delivers drinks and asked for directions.

When they found the private room called Diamond One, a chorus of cheers erupted inside.

Upon entering, I saw Nana being forced onto the sofa.

Without thinking, Zhou Chunhua grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it over the man's head.

With a thud, the man holding Juliana covered his head and shrank to the side.

She immediately shielded Juliana behind her.

"Damn it! Who are you?"

The deafening music stopped abruptly.

Seven or eight people gathered around, one of them clutching the back of his head.

I acted too quickly and didn't even get a good look at what the person was wearing.

Judging from the actions, this man should be the one she hit earlier.

Zhou Chunhua turned to look at Zhu Lina, who was disheveled and disoriented.
