Chapter 2 — My Ex-Husband Tossed Me 50,000 Yuan in Alimony—Little Did He Know, the Moment I Walked Away I Reclaimed My 8.72 Billion Fortune

Take both?

Van, do you even know how much a single unit costs?

It is nine million eight hundred thousand yuan!

Two units will cost nearly twenty million yuan!

You are holding fifty thousand yuan and you are not even sure if you can survive for half a year, yet you come here pretending to buy a house?

Rou Xiao covered her mouth and let out a light laugh.

Sister Van, did you come here just to put on a show for everyone?

Mo Yang’s patience had also completely worn thin.

Van, stop making a fool of yourself.

I looked directly at the female sales representative.

Swipe the card.

I reached into my handbag, pulled out a pitch-black card, and handed it to her. The sales representative hesitated slightly. But after a few seconds, she took it anyway. May Zhen crossed her arms and curled her lips in scorn.

Swipe it.

I also want to see how much money she actually has in that card.

The POS machine let out a sharp beep. The sales representative lowered her head to look at the screen. The very next instant, her entire body froze in place.

Well?

May Zhen smiled smugly.

It would not go through, right?

The sales representative raised her head. The gaze she directed at me was completely different from before.

Miss… Miss Van…

Both apartments have been paid for in full.

Your account balance…

She swallowed hard. She did not even dare to read the astronomical figure displayed at the bottom aloud. May Zhen’s expression shifted instantly.

Impossible!

She is just a…

Mother.

Mo Yang abruptly cut her off. He strode quickly toward the service counter.

The system must be glitching.

With that, he pulled out his own bank card and handed it to the representative.

It is fine, process my unit first.

The representative took the card. She swiped it once. Then, she looked at Mo Yang with an apologetic expression.

I am sorry, sir, your account has been frozen, and the transaction cannot be completed.

The smile on Mo Yang’s face stiffened instantly.

What did you say?

May Zhen snatched the card back.

What do you mean it is frozen?

Swipe it again!

The representative complied. The result remained exactly the same.

I am sorry, the account is indeed frozen.

Mo Yang whipped his head around to glare at me. His gaze was a mixture of utter shock and boiling rage.

Van!

Did you do this?

I slipped the black card back into my handbag.

Mo Yang.

Did you seriously believe that for the past three years, the Tan Construction Materials Company survived purely because of your own brilliance?

His face flushed a deep, ugly red.

What are you trying to say?

Go back and check for yourself.

With those words, I turned around and walked out of the sales center. From behind me, May Zhen’s shrill scream instantly pierced the air.

Stop right there!

Explain yourself clearly!

I did not look back. Outside the sales center, a sleek black Maybach was already parked waiting. The rear door swung open. A man dressed in a crisp black suit stepped out, bowing slightly as he approached me.

Miss Van, the master sent me to pick you up and bring you back to the Van estate.

I got into the car. The Maybach quickly pulled away from clear water pavilion. Through the rearview mirror, I caught sight of Mo Yang running out in a panic, desperately giving chase. He stopped dead in his tracks right outside the entrance of the sales center. The expression on his face looked as though he had just been slapped hard across the cheek. Rou Xiao hurried out after him to steady May Zhen. The three of them stood there, watching helplessly as the Maybach drove farther and farther away. None of them could utter a single word. Inside the car, my phone began to ring once again. Three characters flashed across the screen: Gu Huai Sam. I answered the call. His steady, deep voice resonated from the other end of the line.

Done?

Done.

The loan guarantees, supply chain partnerships, and government project connections that the Tan enterprise has been relying on were all registered under your name.

From the exact moment you signed the divorce papers, all of them automatically became null and void.

You do not need to lift a finger. In three days at most, the bank will send debt collection notices straight to his doorstep.

I leaned back against the plush leather seat and slowly closed my eyes.

Three years.

Gu Huai Sam remained silent for a brief moment before gently asking:

Was it worth it?

I gave no reply. The Maybach glided smoothly past the most prosperous commercial district in the city. The towering glass-covered skyscrapers reflected the brilliant sunlight. More than half of the office buildings in this entire metropolis bore the name of the Van Group. And the Van Group was the very empire my grandfather had built entirely with his own hands. Three years ago, because I stubbornly insisted on marrying into the Tan family, my grandfather was so furious he had to be hospitalized. Back then, he cursed me for being blind. Three years later, I finally understood. He was not wrong at all. The Maybach finally came to a halt outside the grand gates of the Van family estate. Butler Li had been waiting there for quite some time.

Young miss, the master is waiting for you in the study.

I nodded and stepped inside. The Van estate spanned over two thousand square meters. The interior was meticulously designed in traditional Chinese garden style. Rockeries, winding ponds, pavilions, and wooden covered corridors all blended seamlessly together like a living painting. Compared to the three-bedroom, one-hundred-and-twenty-square-meter apartment belonging to the Tan family, this place felt like an entirely different world. The heavy doors of the study pushed open. Grandfather sat gracefully on a dark rosewood armchair. In his hands, he held a purple clay teapot. The moment he caught sight of me, he gently set the teacup down.
