After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Jiangchg University.

Li Manni and Xu Wqian were packing their luggage, after all, they were moving out tomorrow.

Although there is limited space in the dorms and they couldn't have too much luggage, girls always have many bits and pieces.

"Manni, what kind of car does your brother-in-law have? I wonder if it can fit all this stuff."

Xu Wqian had packed two suitcases just with clothes, and other miscellaneous items filled two large wov bags. She wasn't ev done packing.

"His car is pretty big, but it seems like we have too many things, maybe it's better to call a moving service," said Li Manni, whose luggage was similar to Xu Wqian's, except she had fewer clothes and more books, filling an tire large wov bag.

"We two can ride in your brother-in-law's car, taking some fragile items with us, and let the moving service transport the luggage," Xu Wqian suggested.

"Hmm, that could work," nodded Li Manni, thinking the plan feasible.

"Huh, I got a message from the landlord?"

Xu Wqian had be so busy packing that she hadn't checked her phone. Now, as she was nearly done, she picked it up and noticed a message from the landlord.

She quickly oped the message and th was stunned, "Huh?"

"This..."

"What's wrong?" asked Li Manni, who was drinking water and looking at her with confusion.

"The landlord has returned the rt, saying that the apartmt is no longer available for rt."

"How can they do this? They should have told us earlier!" Xu Wqian complained angrily, wanting to scold the landlord in the messaging app but decided to accept the returned rt first.

Once the money was received, Xu Wqian angrily replied, "Your action constitutes a breach of contract; returning the rt isn't ough!"

After sding the message, she asked Li Manni, "Manni, should we demand compsation?"

"In theory, we could," Li Manni replied, also inexpericed with such matters.

"Th we'll ask for one month's rt as compsation!" Xu Wqian immediately st another message to the landlord: At least compsate us with one month's rt!

However, right after she st the message, all she got back was a red exclamation mark.

"Huh?"

"He actually blocked me!!"

"What a person!!" Harboring frustrated rage, Xu Wqian found herself feeling helplessly like she was punching cotton.

"This person is utterly untrustworthy!"

Li Manni was at a loss for words, not expecting to counter such a situation.

"Ah, I'm so mad!!"

"I want to sue him!!" Xu Wqian clched her small fists, wishing she could punch the untrustworthy landlord.

"Let it go, we got our rt and deposit back, so there's no real loss. Going through a lawsuit could take forever," Li Manni advised.

A while ago, she covered an interview involving a landlord-tant dispute, where the landlord wanted to withhold part of the deposit because they felt the tant left the apartmt too dirty. But the tant, infuriated, destroyed the apartmt's interior, forfeiting the deposit and fleeing.

The outraged landlord reported it to the police.

But the police considered it a civil matter and, lacking evidce to definitively blame the tant, advised the landlord to pursue legal action.

However, legal proceedings in such cases can drag on, and quantifying damage and compsation is not straightforward. Ev if the landlord won the lawsuit, receiving the compsation was not guaranteed.

Enduring such an ordeal is indeed distressing, but the landlord in that case was partly to blame. Some landlords act this way, looking for excuses to withhold deposits wh tants move out. If they come across an easy-going tant, the tant is likely to suffer in silce, but with those who are hot-tempered, it could lead to a counterproductive outcome, or ev mutual destruction.

Although this situation wasn't the same as the one with Li Manni going on an assignmt, the final procedures were pretty similar, and since there were no financial losses involved, the court might not ev support their claims.

"No way, I just can't swallow this bitterness!"

"I'm going to curse him continuously for a hundred days, what kind of person is he!"

Xu Wqian, who had just tered society not long ago, clearly hadn't suffered ough of its harsh blows yet, with more experice, things like this wouldn't seem like a big deal at all.

A big forest attracts all kinds of birds.

You can't expect everyone to live up to your own standards of quality and morality.

"Luckily it's the weekd, so there's time to look for a place."

Li Manni offered comforting words.

"Sigh, guess that's the only option now..."

Xu Wqian flopped down onto a chair, deflated like a punctured ball.

Li Manni st a message to Yang Hao: Brother-in-law, I won't be moving tomorrow afternoon after all, so you don't need to keep your afternoon free.

At this momt, Yang Hao was at an art training cter, attding a piano trial class with Xixi.

Not being able to afford it in the past, but now that their financial situation had improved, Yang Hao thought of letting Xixi learn one or two musical instrumts. Of course, these instrumts had to be ones she was interested in, so attding trial classes was necessary for her to get a feel for them.

Seeing Li Manni suddly saying she wouldn't be moving, Yang Hao asked about the situation, th found out that the landlord had suddly breached the contract.

After thinking it over, Yang Hao st the address of the apartmt he'd bought in the morning to Li Manni: This residtial area is pretty close to your workplace, right?

In fact, he already knew the answer to this, as he had looked for a broker nearby after dropping off Li Manni that morning, so Fghua Residtial Area naturally wouldn't be far from her workplace.

Indeed, Li Manni gave a positive response.

Yang Hao was intding to sd another message, but seeing that it was only six o'clock, he decided to call her directly.

"If it's okay for you to stay there, I'll go to the university right now to help you move your stuff over. That way, you can be more relaxed at the family sports day tomorrow."

"What?"

"But the rt for that residtial area is a bit high."

"Wqian and I don't have such a high budget."

Although Fghua Residtial Area was an old neighborhood, its excellt location meant a two-bedroom apartmt rted for a two thousand five hundred.

Li Manni and Xu Wqian, however, had rted an apartmt in a relatively more out-of-the-way location, where the rt was only one thousand eight hundred.

"How much was the rt for the place you were leasing before?" Yang Hao asked.

"One thousand eight hundred."

"Th this place will also be rted to you for one thousand eight hundred."

"What, this??"

Li Manni was baffled: "Brother-in-law, but the landlord won't agree!"

"He will."

Yang Hao was certain in his tone, and without dwelling on this issue, he continued, "Is everything mostly packed up?"

"Er, pretty much."

"I'll be there in about forty minutes."

After saying that, Yang Hao hung up the phone.

Li Manni in her dormitory was utterly bewildered, as clever as she was, she couldn't untangle this situation right away.

The apartmt was probably a frid's of her brother-in-law's, but if the rt was cut to one thousand eight hundred, that would be six to sev hundred below the market price. Her brother-in-law wouldn't be planning to cover the differce himself, would he??

"Oh my dear Manni, why is rting in Jiangchg so expsive!"

"It's just too unfridly for us wage earners! Rt, food, transportation, utilities, phone bills, plus clothes and cosmetics, I feel like my four thousand five Gold Coin monthly salary just isn't ough!"

"Ahh, won't some domineering CEO like me and take me under his wing... I'm asking to be kept..."

As Xu Wqian scrolled through the rtal APP, the steep rts made her agitated, punching her chest in mock desperation like a distressed worker.
