“I’m not discouraged, I just feel sorry for you… If you ask me, she shouldn’t have even wanted that apartment in Chengdu…”
I sighed, unsure how to respond.
"Brother... I'm not trying to be mean, but Lu Jia is nowhere near as good as my fourth brother... She has serious moral issues!"
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
"Then you need to find a way to resolve this..."
I remained silent because I was truly caught in the predicament of "even a skilled cook can't cook without rice." This 100,000 yuan in start-up capital was indeed a considerable sum. I currently had no assets, and even getting a bank loan was impossible.
After a long pause, I finally spoke to Zhou San: "I invested some money in Chen Jin's bar... not a lot... if the bar reopens and meets our expectations, I should be able to extract a considerable amount of money from this project."
Is it reliable?
“Reliable… By the way, could you take some time recently to help the bar develop an interactive social networking program? I’ve already discussed the specific ideas with Chen Jin, and you should also discuss it with him… I think this idea is pretty good… Then we can promote it to tourists using food delivery ads, and we can quickly boost the bar’s popularity.”
"Okay... I'll go find Chen Jin now."
"He took my parents to the airport, and he probably won't be back for a while."
Wednesday was silent, and so was I... But my thoughts never stopped. I was wondering if it was necessary to continue talking to Lu Jia, or to find another breakthrough.
During the process, someone sent me a WeChat message. I picked up my phone and looked at it... It was from Yang Sisi. She said she was bored and wanted to chat with me for a while.
I didn't reply immediately, but instead habitually scrolled through my WeChat Moments.
There was a post from Lu Jia twenty minutes earlier: she said she had received her first house and had taken photos of every room, including the balcony with a sea view.
I saw it as a provocation, but I was simply unable to retaliate.
I've consulted with legal experts, and even if I resort to legal action in the end, the chances of getting this house back are slim. This house isn't just a simple verbal gift; it's a legally protected transfer. Unless Lu Jia has a change of heart, I have absolutely no chance of getting it back.
Furthermore, since Lu Jia intended to use this house to bind me, she wouldn't leave any common-sense loopholes for me to exploit... She knew this day would come, which is why she used the excuse of feeling insecure to make me transfer the house to her name.
Thinking about it carefully, a woman's scheming can actually be quite terrifying!
...
Lost in thought, Yang Sisi sent me another photo she had taken in the restaurant, with the world-renowned Bund right outside...
There, it was completely dark, so when the lights came on, all sorts of halos of light were reflected on the restaurant's glass... and Yang Sisi's image was also vaguely reflected on the glass... She had cut her hair short and was resting her chin on her hand, looking at the night view of the Bund.
But what I saw was a lonely heart... She probably also longed for someone to be with her.
