Yu Deshui suppressed the urge to strangle her and left the courtyard. "Come on, let's talk in the car!"

"No need, we'll settle this here. Zhou Changrong has also bought the house. Today, that vixen came to collect the house and told me I have to move out within three days."

I'm at my wit's end. My two eldest children have left me and gone to school, but where can my youngest and I go? That's why I came to you for advice."

What do you mean?

"You pay for it and buy that house back for me."

"Meiju, where would I get so much money?"

Liu Meiju didn't say anything, she just chuckled.

When the two were deeply in love, Yu Deshui told her the truth, though there was some boasting involved, but it was true that Yu Deshui was rich.

"Meiju, that house will cost at least 100,000, and I really don't have that much money."

“Yu Deshui, I don’t care about any of that. I just want the house. If you’re annoyed with me, I promise you I’ll never come looking for you again. We’ll cut all ties.”

Haha, and also, do you know what Zhou Changrong said in his letter to me? He said that the third son wasn't his child. Actually, thinking about it, the third son really doesn't resemble him. What do you think?

"I've raised your son for so many years, and you're saying all I want in the end is a house? Yu Deshui, I've been with you for over ten years, I know what kind of person you are. But in the end, are you really going to be so heartless as to leave my son and me homeless?"

Liu Meiju forced herself not to let her tears fall.

But hearing this made Yu Deshui a little angry. Now, to say the son is his own? Who would know? Besides, he already has two sons; he's not lacking.

She's already an old hag, why is she still acting like a young wife? If she hadn't seduced him in the first place, he really wouldn't have fallen for her. But later, because she was open-minded and served him very well, it's been like this for so many years.

The worst thing was being caught by Zhou Changrong, and he still couldn't get away with it. Thinking of this, Yu Deshui hardened his heart, but he couldn't let her cause a scene here; it wouldn't look good. Besides, if she really started making a fuss, even without evidence, no one was stupid. If people found out, he really wouldn't be able to remain the chairman.

"Meiju, you go home first. I'll go ask someone about the house tomorrow."

"Hehe, Yu Deshui, I won't say I'm the person who understands you best, but I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you. You want me to leave? Sure, give me 100,000 right now. You don't need to get involved in the house issue; I'll handle it myself."

"Meiju, where am I supposed to find 100,000 now?"

"Heh, what's the point of telling me all this? Yu Deshui, I still have one of your ledgers. Can you remember which one it is?"

"Liu Meiju, you?!" Yu Deshui broke out in a cold sweat. This was the account book of a trading company they had collaborated on a few years ago, and he had searched for it for a long time. How could it be in Liu Meiju's hands?

However, I really did try to get the ledger back.

Even 100,000 is too much. My company has been having problems since last year. I haven't earned 100,000 in a year. And these past few years, no one has wanted to cooperate with me anymore. Those bastards.

Yu Deshui gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go prepare the money. I'll come to your house in a bit, and we'll exchange money and ledgers."

"Hehe, okay, then I'll head back first. Yu Deshui, remember this: if you lie to me this time, it doesn't matter. I won't come looking for you tomorrow; instead, I'll go find Chen Xiusheng and the others."

"Okay, you can go now. I'll go over tonight."

Watching Liu Meiju get into the car and leave, I truly hated her; I had actually been tricked and ended up in a mess.

Heh, she wants 100,000! Fine, I'll give it to her. But I'll see how long she can live with that 100,000!

Yu Deshui entered the house, ignored his wife sitting in the living room, and went straight upstairs.

Madam Yu pursed her lips, and a moment later a maid came over and whispered something in her ear.

Mrs. Yu frowned, but finally leaned back on the sofa and gave a sarcastic smile. "Fine, 100,000 it is. Perfect for spending Yu Deshui's secret stash of money. I don't have any myself."

I originally wanted to go back to my room and lie down for a while, but I decided not to go anywhere else and just stay here. It's quite interesting to watch Yu Deshui take the money out.

As for Liu Meiju, when she drove home, she found that her youngest son was not there. She went to her room to check and found that nothing was missing.

Now that she was all alone in this big house, Liu Meiju finally felt a sense of emptiness and fear.

I regretted it more than once. I used to think Zhou Changrong was useless, but when I actually received his divorce papers, I felt like I had been struck by lightning.

If only I had no outsiders, how wonderful it would be to continue living with Zhou Changrong like this.

Everyone outside envies her; she has a loving and obedient husband, and she has three sons.

This is a life that everyone envies, but why did it come to this?

Sitting on the sofa, she reflected on her life from her honeymoon to arriving here, to her affair, and finally to Zhou Changrong's departure.

Everything, everything, was something I brought upon myself.

But what can you do now? Since it's already happened, there's no point in saying anything more. The marriage is over, the two sons have left, the factory is gone, and the house might not even be safe.

As long as you have money, you can live a very happy life.

Thinking of this, Liu Meiju stood up and went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of noodles. She found that cooking for one person was quite leisurely. In the past, when she served the four of them, although there were servants, she still had to worry about everything herself.

Zhou Changrong was ruthless; he actually dismissed all the servants.

No worries, I have the money. Once everything's sorted out, I'll just hire someone else. I refuse to believe that money can't get me anywhere.

After dinner, I tidied up a bit. Sitting in the living room felt like being in a comfortable spot.

It was already dark, and the youngest son still hadn't returned, nor had Yu Deshui come.

She went upstairs to her room and took out a leather-bound notebook from under the vanity stool.

I looked through it myself, but I still didn't understand it.

He took the notebook downstairs, thought for a moment, and decided to put it under the sofa cushions, so he could take it out when Yu Deshui came over to exchange it with him.

I boiled water and made myself a cup of coffee. I turned on the TV and waited for Yu Deshui to arrive.

A little while later, Yu Deshui came in directly because he had the key to the house.

Liu Meiju looked at him carrying a briefcase. "Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"

Yu Deshui placed the briefcase on the table. "This is 100,000. Where's the ledger?"

Liu Meihua smiled. "What's wrong? Is something urgent? Sit down! I need to count the money."
