Landlady who likes to hoard land

Chapter 40 A good flower deserves a good pot

Xu Jianren felt increasingly uneasy. Could she even know how much money he had?

"Hehe, Xu Jianren, stop pretending. I made thorough preparations before coming to you."

Do you think that just because I knew you had a mistress and an illegitimate child, I would immediately file for divorce without making any preparations?

I don't know whether to call you naive or just plain stupid!

Wang Chengyu crossed her arms in front of her chest, a mocking smile on her face. This person thought she knew nothing.

After Yao Yao helped her collect the baby hair of her illegitimate twins, she became attached to Yao Yao.

Ask Yao Yao to show her where Xu Jianren's money came from.

The first time she entered the space, the scenes she saw after her death were fast-forwarded and skipped around. She didn't even notice how Xu Jianren became rich.

She just remembered this.

What happens after her rebirth is unpredictable because her rebirth is already unpredictable.

But Xu Jianren's wealth was from before her rebirth! Yaoyao can definitely see how Xu Jianren became rich.

To get Yao Yao to tell her, she pestered Yao Yao for a long time. At first, Yao Yao was unwilling, saying that she couldn't interfere too much.

Later, she gritted her teeth and took out fifty merit points before Yaoyao reluctantly agreed to let her see it.

Only then did Wang Chengyu realize where Xu Jianren's money came from.

Xu Jianren has a hobby of growing flowers.

He mainly raises bonsai, or as Xu Jianren puts it, woody plants, which are not only valuable but also appreciate in value.

Xu Jianren once confidently told Wang Chengyu that he could support himself in his old age by growing bonsai trees.

Wang Chengyu didn't understand these things. In her eyes, what was so interesting about these twisted tree roots and branches? They were not as nice as buying two pots of chrysanthemums.

Xu Jianren ridiculed her for this idea.

A good bonsai requires not only good soil but also a good flowerpot.

Wang Chengyu didn't know how much Xu Jianren's flowers were worth, nor did he know how much those flowerpots were worth.

"Why is this soil like this? How much does a bag cost?"

Once, by chance, Wang Chengyu encountered Xu Jianren changing the soil for his bonsai. Looking at the soil, he found it strange and asked...

How much do you want for a bag of rice?

Xu Jianren chuckled, and after laughing, asked.

"It cost over seventy yuan; I just bought it a few days ago."

"My bag of soil is worth more than your bag of rice!"

Xu Jianren spoke with a hint of pride as he filled the flowerpot with soil.

Wang Chengyu was shocked and somewhat incredulous when he heard this.

He even insisted on buying such high-quality soil, which immediately sparked a huge argument between them.

Because of this incident, Xu Jianren never mentioned the expenses he incurred in growing flowers to her again.

Since then, Wang Chengyu has suspected that Xu Jianren's salary is actually higher, but he has conspired with Xu Chenxing not to tell her.

Otherwise, how could he afford to buy bonsai trees and use such good soil?

She had suspicions, but no evidence to prove them.

People who grow bonsai always want to match their favorite bonsai with beautiful flower pots.

Wang Chengyu guessed that it's like a woman having a beautiful dress, needing a pair of beautiful shoes to match.

For a period of time, Xu Jianren would wander around various flower markets whenever he had time, looking for all kinds of unique flower pots.

One day while at the market, I found a very old-fashioned flowerpot from an old man selling flowers.

Xu Jianren not only likes green plants, but also collectible items such as gourds.

That day, while listening to the host talk about cultural relics, he repotted his plants using flowerpots he had just bought.

The more I listened, the more I felt that the cultural relics the anchor was talking about looked very similar to the flowerpot I was holding.

He hurriedly put the bonsai back into its original pot.

He secretly had a few people appraise it, and it turned out that the flowerpot he bought by chance was actually a genuine antique.

Xu Jianren was overjoyed. He felt he was not capable of preserving such a valuable cultural relic. After much deliberation, he finally sold it to one of the people who appraised the flowerpot for 12 million yuan.

After he received the twelve million, he was troubled and hesitant for a long time.

He considered telling Wang Chengyu about it, but then he thought that if he did, she might take the money and save it.

He had also thought about telling his father that perhaps he had been suppressed by Xu Chenxing for too long, and that he had developed a rare rebellious mentality.

Didn't his father always say he wanted to burn or scatter his money? He had so much money of his own, why would he care about his little bit of money?

Besides, his parents already favored their daughter. If they knew he had so much money, he wouldn't get a single penny of their money in the future, and his mother might even make him divide the money among his sister and younger sister.

This is twelve million, not ten or twenty thousand, or even one hundred or eighty thousand.

With so much money, there's nothing he can't do; he'll never have to be beholden to anyone again.

After much deliberation, Xu Jianren decided not to tell anyone about the money.

He secretly saved it himself.

From then on, Xu Jianren stood tall and became more confident. Seeing people around him worrying and arguing about money gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

He was addicted to the feeling of being the only one sober in a world of drunks, and the money gave him confidence. He felt more and more that his decision not to spend the money was the right one.

With the money, besides buying his beloved bonsai, he had other ideas.

As the saying goes, all men are lustful. After he became rich, he started tipping female live streamers on the platform, and later he secretly hooked up with Sun Jing, who was sweet and gentle.

After their first private date, Sun Jing quit her job as a live streamer and became completely attached to him.

After all, Xu Jianren was quite good-looking and generous to her; such a sugar daddy was hard to find.

It wasn't until she gave birth to Xu Jianren's child that she began to gradually pressure him to divorce her.

Wang Chengyu was speechless at Xu Jianren's appearance; he wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin!

Wang Chengyu tossed another stack of documents to Xu Jianren.

"You're really being stubborn. Look at this information, is it detailed enough? Is it sufficient?"

Having learned the truth from Yao Yao, and knowing that Wang Chengyu had money, she easily obtained evidence by paying someone to help her.

Xu Jianren grew increasingly uneasy as he read on. When did Wang Chengyu start investigating him? And how could he be investigating so thoroughly when he hadn't noticed anything?

His trembling hands revealed his inner fear and anxiety.

It turns out that Wang Chengyu really did know everything, and knew it so clearly.

"Think it over yourself! Come back to me when you've made up your mind. But if you still disagree after you've thought it over, I'll have no choice but to file for divorce in court. With this evidence, I believe the court will give me justice!"

After saying that, Wang Chengyu turned and left the room; she couldn't stay there any longer.

Xu Jianren's attitude is disgusting. She was afraid that she would not be able to resist hitting Xu Jianren, which would greatly reduce her chances of getting custody of the children in a divorce lawsuit.

The next day, the family of four acted as if nothing had happened, eating breakfast as usual, going to school, and going to work.

After Xu Jianren left, Wang Chengyu went to his room but did not find the divorce agreement.

She's not afraid of him dragging his feet; if he dares to delay, she'll dare to file for divorce.
