After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 58: 58, the younger aunt who feels indignant on brother-in-law's behalf



After closing Kuaiyin, Li Manshu opened Weixun and then replied to the message Shen Mingshan had sent the previous night, "Mr. Shen, sorry about that. My younger sister just graduated from college and has been staying with me recently."

Li Manshu's goals were very clear; she was after men who had achieved a certain level of success and had a considerable net worth. She was also nearly thirty years old and knew that she didn't have much time left, which is why she didn't want to start over with a man.

Besides, even if you start over with him, you might not be treated well in the end. The risk was too great for her to even consider it!

After replying to Shen Mingshan, she sent another Weixun message to her sister Li Manni, "Manni, I've bought a house. Don't rent a place outside after you move out of the school dorm; just come and live with me."

After all, they were sisters, and Li Manshu's invitation was sincere.

This time, Li Manni didn't ignore her older sister, "I've already rented a place with Wenqian."

Li Manni's previous resentment towards her sister stemmed from the fact that she "abandoned her husband and child" when her brother-in-law was down on his luck.

For Li Manni, who was principled and well-educated, this was truly unforgivable, especially since her brother-in-law had been kind to their whole family.

Therefore, she scorned her sister's actions.

But now the situation had changed, and her brother-in-law was doing well again; he was even driving a luxury car worth over a million.

Li Manni thought maybe his luck had turned after divorcing her sister.

In that sense, her sister could be considered to have contributed to her brother-in-law's success!

Of course, she still didn't approve of her sister's previous behavior, but with her brother-in-law's improved circumstances, she felt compelled to share this with her sister and make her regret her decisions.

In her view, this was also a form of revenge for her sister's past actions!

So she decided to stop giving her sister the cold shoulder and even planned to occasionally share bits of information about her brother-in-law to provoke her!

After all, if she abandoned her family for wealth, she deserved such punishment!

Hence, Li Manni posted a Moments update visible only to her sister Li Manshu, showing a photo of herself holding a brand-new Prada handbag, with the caption: "Thanks to my brother-in-law for the work gift."

Li Manni was not the type to show off; her personality was almost the complete opposite of Li Manshu's, who was more like their mother. Li Manni, on the other hand, took after their father more.

That's why Li Manni didn't brag on Moments about the Prada handbag she received from Yang Hao.

But now, she naturally wanted to agitate her sister, who favored wealth over family!

As expected, Li Manshu quickly replied to the message, "You've rented a place? Where? How much is the rent?"

She followed up with another message, "Your brother-in-law bought you a Prada handbag?? Where did he get the money!"

Seeing her sister's response, Li Manni smirked, set down her phone, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

She understood her sister very well. The bait she had thrown would probably distress her for quite a while.

Just as Li Manni expected, Li Manshu was on the other end feeling torn with anxiety. She zoomed in on the photo of the Prada handbag to look at the details closely—it didn't seem fake since she owned Prada bags herself.

She also recalled the day she coincidentally met Yang Hao in the Prada store, who was with his so-called "girlfriend," and it seemed they were looking at the exact model of the handbag Manni had posted in her Moments.

Was he picking out a gift for Manni that day?

But where could he have gotten the money?

He was supposedly still in debt by over two hundred thousand after selling his house and car!

Li Manshu couldn't make sense of it, and with her sister's birthday approaching, she decided to go and see for herself.

...

Beiqin Kindergarten had rented a venue in a badminton hall to hold this family sports event.

The teachers and a few of the parents had already arrived at the site, with the teachers busily setting up the venue, and the early-arriving parents were helping out, seizing the opportunity to make a good impression.

Zhao Yingying learned about today's family sports event from her aunt and took a leave of absence to accompany her sister-in-law, Wang Jia, to participate.

Wang Jia's husband was quite busy with work and couldn't return from a business trip this week. She had thought she would have to come with her mother-in-law and son, but she was pleasantly surprised when Zhao Yingying, the young aunt by marriage, took the initiative to join in.

"Little auntie, your bracelet is so pretty!"

Zhao Zirui was having his hand held by Zhao Yingying, a little auntie whom he didn't see often, and his gaze subconsciously fell on her wrist, attracted by the sparkling bracelet.

"Haha, little auntie also thinks it's very pretty."

Zhao Yingying was very satisfied with her great-nephew's reaction and lifted her wrist to show it off.

"Yingying, that bracelet of yours must be worth tens of thousands, right?"

Wang Jia had actually seen Zhao Yingying's post on her social media earlier and had even looked up the price of that bracelet model, feeling immeasurably envious at the time.

"Over fifty thousand."

Zhao Yingying replied with a laugh, feeling quite proud of herself.

Relatives are a very delicate relationship. A better relative hopes you do well but definitely not better than them.

More maliciously, some even hope you fall into poverty and misery, so they can show off their superiority from a high position.

Only a very few relatives genuinely wish for your well-being!

But Wang Jia was neither among the very few nor among the malicious ones.

As a local from Jiangcheng, deep down she felt somewhat disdainful towards the little auntie who came from a small town to work, but Zhao Yingying was quite the people person. After arriving in Jiangcheng, she didn't trouble them at all and even brought gifts over for the holidays, so their relationship was relatively harmonious.

However, the sudden pursuit of her little auntie by a wealthy man did spark some jealousy in her. Her husband was a salesperson whose annual salary could hit two hundred thousand in a good year and just over a hundred thousand in a bad one.

So a bracelet worth over fifty thousand was something she didn't even dare dream of, only envying it from afar.

"Yingying, was the bracelet given to you by your suitor?"

Wang Jia asked again.

"You could say that."

Zhao Yingying nodded, although she wanted to take the initiative to pay for it herself, she couldn't lose face.

"What's the condition of the other party?"

"With that kind of wealth, you could actually consider it," Wang Jia reasoned aloud, while her heart hoped it wouldn't work out.

"It's the Yang you were introduced to by your second aunt."

Zhao Yingying replied, grinning.

"What?"

"The one my mother-in-law introduced!"

Wang Jia was a bit stunned, remembering that just a couple of days ago her mother-in-law had mentioned introducing her son's classmate's father to her little auntie.

She had sneered at the time, a divorced man with a five-year-old daughter, how could her prideful little auntie possibly be interested?

Yet, the man turned out to be a tycoon!

When had her mother-in-law become so astute?

Wang Jia was skeptical. Her mother-in-law had never been very accurate in judging people and was easily deceived by others, but what happened this time??

Her mind was full of question marks, but at this moment, Zhao Yingying's gaze was intermittently glancing towards the entrance of the sports hall. She was waiting for her old man to arrive and to surprise him.

And within her expectant gaze, the figure finally appeared. She was initially delighted but then froze.

Because Yang Hao hadn't come alone—next to him was a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties. Although she was dressed in sportswear, her shapely figure was somewhat undeniable, and moreover, her beauty was high, her face full of collagen, something that no amount of cosmetics could compensate for.

(PS: I couldn't find a picture of the sportswear, but it's roughly this figure, the face is a bit off though, but I don't really understand this AI thing, if anyone has a suitable picture, feel free to post it in the comments~~~)
