079 Be a real couple
There are many properties in Hong Kong, and the one Leung Chun chose is only a 20-minute subway ride from Central.
When Xie Yaoyao arrived by subway, Liang Zhen was already waiting for her outside the residential area.
Standing with him was the rental manager. After exchanging pleasantries, the manager took them to see the apartment.
The community is very new and the landscaping is excellent, but the residential buildings suffer from the common problems of residential buildings in the port city.
That is because the buildings are too close together, and some houses don't get enough natural light.
Xie Yaoyao had several million yuan in her hands, and while helping Liang Zhen look at houses, she also took a look at some properties.
"Ms. Xie, what do you think of this apartment? Your husband said you have a child. This is the children's room, and the lighting is excellent. The community also has a kindergarten, and there are several chain supermarkets nearby, which meet the essential needs of daily life."
Xie Yaoyao realized that Liang Zhen had somehow told the manager that they were going to live together.
She didn't embarrass Liang Zhen in front of the manager. Liang Zhen asked her, "Yaoyao, how are you feeling?"
Xie Yaoyao looked around. The lighting was excellent. The building had ten units per floor, and this apartment faced the inner courtyard with ample space.
"The house is nice, but the rent is a bit expensive. If you live alone, the space is more than enough."
Liang Zhen understood what she meant and said, "This apartment has three bedrooms and two living rooms. You and Yu Bao can move in together. The environment in that old tenement building is too chaotic and ultimately not suitable for you and your son to live there long-term."
He stayed there for a few days, and several fights broke out.
Living in such an environment for a long time is very bad for a child's development.
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "Liang Zhen, thank you for thinking about us, but I have decided to rent a house near the school where I work to reduce my commute time."
She initially took a position at St. Paul's Co-educational School because of a school rule.
Children of teachers who have worked at the school for five years can directly attend St. Paul's Primary School with all tuition and fees waived.
She has already been in school for three years, and when Yu Bao turns six, he will be able to go directly to primary school.
Liang Zhen's expression stiffened slightly. "Yaoyao, you should have discussed this with me."
Xie Yaoyao thought to herself that they were the couple on the marriage certificate, but they hadn't been in much contact with each other for the past few years.
What was she discussing with him?
“Liang Zhen,” Xie Yaoyao pulled Liang Zhen into the guest room, avoiding the manager, and looked at him sincerely, “Thank you for helping me re-register my household registration when I was in the most difficult time back then. I delayed you for five years. When you have time, let’s go to Shenzhen to get the divorce certificate.”
She couldn't hold him back any longer; he was almost thirty and it was time for him to find a girlfriend.
Liang Zhen's hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists involuntarily. "Yaoyao, can't we turn this fake relationship into a real one and become a real couple?"
Xie Yaoyao stared blankly at Liang Zhen, "W-what?"
Liang Zhen held her shoulders with both hands, his eyes sincere, "Can't you see? I want to rent a big house so you can move in together. I want to be your real husband and wife."
Xie Yaoyao was disheveled in the wind.
She turned her head and saw her plump body reflected in the French windows.
She still remembers how the rich kids at school would call her a fat pig whenever they saw her walk by.
Some students even mocked her behind her back, saying, "Do you have any real talent? Is your brain just full of fat?"
For a time, she was actually quite insecure about her body.
But she never thought about losing weight.
Because she would rather be disliked by everyone than lose weight, become slim and beautiful, and then attract more trouble.
"Liang Zhen, look at me. I'm so fat, I eat a lot, and I have a child to support. What do you see in me?"
Liang Zhen had seen Xie Yaoyao before she became this fat, and he was immediately struck by her beauty.
However, after she gave birth, the pregnancy hormones caused her to gain weight.
She herself didn't seem to want to lose weight, and intentionally gained weight, and didn't care about her appearance.
But he believed that once she lost weight, she would still be a great beauty, and besides...
He had someone investigate and found that Xie Yaoyao had nearly ten million yuan in assets in her account. With that money, he could register a law firm in Hong Kong.
Liang Zhen leaned down slightly, his expression even more sincere. "Yaoyao, appearance isn't important. What I value is your inner beauty. Besides, Yubao is an obedient and sensible child, and I like him very much. When we have a child in the future, he can help take care of his younger siblings as the older brother."
Xie Yaoyao felt increasingly uneasy listening to these words.
Why does it feel like Liang Zhen wants to be a real husband and wife with her, but is it all for the purpose of enslaving Yu Bao?
She slowly took a step back, her tone firm as she refused, "No, Liang Zhen, I only feel gratitude towards you. Let's go back to Shenzhen as soon as possible to get our divorce certificate."
Liang Zhen's hand froze in mid-air. He slowly withdrew it, a sinister smile on his face.
"This isn't urgent, think about it some more."
He doesn't mind that she's as fat as a pig, so why does she insist on getting a divorce?
She really treated Liang Zhen like a hotel, someone who could come and go as he pleased.
During the house viewing, Xie Yaoyao seemed somewhat distracted, and Liang Zhen kept asking her for her opinion on the house.
Xie Yaoyao's answers were all very simple; she said it was okay.
The manager sensed that the two were not in a good mood. After showing them a few apartments, he said that the landlords had not given them the keys and that they would have to look at them another day, and then left in a hurry.
Xie Yaoyao and Liang Zhen stood on the side of the main road, Liang Zhen with one hand in his pocket.
Today he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, carrying a briefcase, looking every bit the social elite.
Xie Yaoyao was wearing a black shirt dress, her hair was casually tied back, revealing a double chin that almost covered her neck.
The two of them standing together actually looked quite mismatched, but Liang Zhen didn't mind at all.
"Yaoyao, you spent half the day looking at houses with me today. Thank you for your hard work. Let me treat you to dinner."
"No need, thank you. I need to rush back to cook dinner." Wouldn't a dinner costing 30,000 yuan be more appealing to her?
Liang Zhen gave a wry smile, "You've gotten on my nerves? Yao Yao, you're my only friend in Hong Kong. Just treat it as having dinner with me, okay?"
Xie Yaoyao pursed her lips. She knew she had to repay the favor she owed. "Alright."
Liang Zhen stood by the roadside, waved for a taxi, opened the car door, and held onto the roof.
"Yaoyao, get in the car."
Xie Yaoyao glanced at him, bent down and got into the car. She had originally intended to move a little further inside.
However, Liang Zhen had already closed the car door, opened the passenger door, and sat inside.
After closing the car door, he gave the driver an address, and the taxi sped away.
Inside a high-end Western restaurant in Central.
Liang Zhen had made a reservation in advance, and the waiter led them to a seat by the window.
Looking down from here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Victoria Harbour at night.
Liang Zhen gentlemanly moved the chair for her, and Xie Yaoyao thanked him and sat down.
Liang Zhen sat down opposite her and handed her the menu. "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat?"
Xie Yaoyao glanced at the menu, feeling both heartbroken about her wallet and heartbroken about the 30,000 yuan salary that wouldn't arrive in her account that night.
This meal was destined to cause her heartache.
Just as the two were ordering food, Lu Zhi and Huo Yanxi came out of the elevator and were led to a private room by a waiter.
Huo Yanxi glanced casually towards the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Xie Yaoyao sitting with a strange man in the couple's seat.
