After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"Keep pursuing her, and get her by any means necessary." Chu Yao said his answer almost without hesitation.

The man on the other end of the phone sneered, "Why bother? There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?"

"No, I must make this woman fall in love with me." The woman's firm rejection only fueled Chu Yao's intense desire to conquer her.

"You're not serious, are you?" the man on the other end of the phone asked, sounding somewhat doubtful.

"Catch her up, then dump her ruthlessly," Chu Yao said, emphasizing each word.

"Hey, more than a year has passed. If she were truly interested, she should have made some move. But from your description, she doesn't seem to have any feelings for you," the man advised Chu Yao to cut his losses.

Otherwise, once you get carried away, it might be hard to control.

.......

The next day, Bo Yuxiu picked up Shen Yao in his car.

Upon arriving at her destination, Shen Yao finally understood why Bo Yuxiu had said that the neighborhood was absolutely safe.

Because the residents of this community are all prominent figures in Shenzhen. Every household lives in a detached villa.

The main gate of the villa also uses facial recognition technology; no one can enter without the owner's permission. Climbing over the wall could also trigger the alarm.

As for the area outside the residential compound, the staff are all retired soldiers, with monthly salaries in the five figures, and they conduct very strict checks on people coming and going.

Bo Yuxiu then led her on a tour of the first and second floors.

The first floor features a living room, kitchen, and gym. The living room can be used to entertain guests, and outside on the first floor is a spacious open lawn, where you can have a small gathering with family and friends when the weather is nice.

The second floor has a master bedroom and a study. The study has bookshelves, a large sandalwood desk, and a large floor-to-ceiling bay window.

"So, are you satisfied?" After taking a walk around, Bo Yuxiu asked Shen Yao with a smile.

Shen Yao nodded, "I'm very satisfied with everything, but the price... isn't it very expensive?"

Shen Yao's current monthly salary is 5 yuan. Looking at everything in this house, which exudes a low-key luxury, she feels that she cannot afford it.

Bo Yuxiu held up five fingers to him.

Shen Yao bit her lip and said cautiously, "5? Teacher Bo, that's too expensive. I can't afford it."

She spoke very frankly about her opinion.

Recently, her biological mother, Wang Haiya, has started receiving psychological therapy. The monthly cost isn't low, and Shen Yao doesn't want to invest too much in the house.

Bo Yuxiu couldn't help but smile when he saw Shen Yao's candor.

He waved his five fingers on his right hand. "Teacher Shen, it's 5000 yuan, not 5 yuan."

"5000 yuan?" Shen Yao wondered if she had misheard. "Such a large area, such a good environment, security, and location, really only 5000 yuan?"

“Yes, only 5000.” Bo Yuxiu noticed that Shen Yao seemed a little skeptical, so he added, “As you know, housing prices have dropped a lot recently. My friend is renting out his properties whenever possible to earn back some of the mortgage payments.”

Shen Yao was still a little skeptical. "This house should be easy to rent out, so why hasn't anyone rented it for so long? And the furniture looks almost brand new."

“My friend is a bit of a fussman. This house was just renovated, and the furniture is all new. It’s been sitting there for almost a year, and he wants to find a reliable tenant who can rent it long-term. He doesn’t trust any of the people brought in by outside agents,” Bo Yuxiu explained earnestly.

Shen Yao finally believed it this time.

After they finished talking, Bo Yuxiu handed the rental contract to Shen Yao, and the two signed it on the spot, pressing their fingerprints on each other.

"Teacher Bo, isn't this house your friend's? Why is it covered with your fingerprint?" Shen Yao looked at Bo Yuxiu in confusion.

Bo Yuxiu explained, "My friend owes me money and hasn't been able to pay it back, so he mortgaged the monthly rent of this house to me."
