After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 23 Jiang Xinlan is just waiting to be in trouble!

Zhao Tingting's mocking smile froze instantly, her face filled with disbelief.

Wang Fugui was also stunned, his previous arrogance completely gone, replaced by shock and panic.

Sixty million to buy a villa in full—this woman's wealth is far greater than his!

He actually dared to mock someone for being poor and stingy? He even made a bet to kowtow to them?

The sales manager respectfully handed the purchase contracts to Jiang Xinlan and Shen Yu.

"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Shen, the contract is ready. Please take a look. If there are no problems, just sign it. We will handle all the subsequent procedures at your doorstep, so you won't have to make a single trip!"

After signing the document, Jiang Xinlan put away the black card, turned to look at the pale-faced Zhao Tingting and Wang Fugui, and coldly said:

"Now, are you still going to kowtow to us?"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd, who began to clamor:

"It has to be true! It absolutely has to be true! We heard you shouting so loudly!"

"Exactly! They paid 60 million in full, now it's your turn to kowtow!"

"A bet's a bet! Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Why are you silent now?"

The commotion grew louder and louder, and Zhao Tingting and Wang Fugui's faces turned red and white in turns, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot.

"I...we were just joking..."

Zhao Tingting's voice was barely audible; she didn't even dare to lift her head.

"Are you kidding me?" Shen Yu's icy gaze swept over the two of them.

"You were shouting like crazy in front of so many people, and now that you've lost, you're saying it was a joke? Do you really think we're pushovers?"

"Now, you either kowtow three times as agreed, or you get out of Jiangcheng. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make sure you can't stay in Jiangcheng at all."

Wang Fugui panicked instantly. He was in the building materials business and had a considerable network of connections in Jiangcheng, so he was quite knowledgeable.

He had previously thought Shen Yu was just a boastful person and that he was definitely not a big shot.

But now, seeing him casually pull out 100 million to buy a house for a woman, he instantly realized that Shen Yu was definitely not someone he could afford to offend!

He quickly smiled obsequiously, bowing and scraping as he begged for forgiveness:

"Sir, we are so sorry! We were blind to your greatness and we spoke so carelessly. Please forgive us this time!"

"You're letting me off the hook? So you're planning to renege on your debt? Fine, very well."

Shen Yu chuckled and didn't continue arguing with them. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Lu Zongming's number in front of them, putting it on speakerphone.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Zongming's respectful voice came through:

"Mr. Shen? What can I do for you?"

"Do you know Wang Fugui, who runs a building materials business in Jiangcheng?" Shen Yu asked in a calm tone.

"Wang Fugui? I know him. He's a small building materials merchant who has several projects in cooperation with the construction company under the Lu family."

Lu Zongming immediately replied, "Mr. Shen, has he offended you?"

"Hmm, he's got a foul mouth and has offended my family," Shen Yu said calmly. "I don't want to see his name on any building materials projects in Jiangcheng again."

"Understood! I'll arrange it immediately! Make sure he's completely removed from the Jiangcheng building materials industry today!"

Lu Zongming agreed without the slightest hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Fugui's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face ashen.

He never expected that Shen Yu's background was so great, that even Old Master Lu treated him with utmost respect.

He's finished!

Who are the Lu family? They are one of the top wealthy families in Jiangcheng!

Now that Lu Zongming has spoken, who would dare to give him face and cooperate with him?

From now on, his career in Jiangcheng is completely over!

Zhao Tingting was also terrified. She never expected that the man she had mocked could make Old Master Lu treat him with such respect and could cut off her husband's path to survival with just a single sentence!

The surrounding commotion grew even louder:

"What are you all standing there for? Kneel down! Otherwise, you'll never be able to survive in Jiangcheng!"

"Exactly! We have to honor the bet we made, even if it means crawling on our knees!"

Looking at Shen Yu's cold eyes and then at the commotion around him, Wang Fugui knew that he had no choice but to kowtow today.

He gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan with a thud, and kowtowed three times solidly, his voice trembling:

"I was wrong! I was blind to your greatness, and I had a foul mouth! Please forgive me, you are so magnanimous!"

Seeing her husband kneel down, Zhao Tingting was so frightened that her legs went weak. She also kowtowed three times, not daring to lift her face. Half of her swollen face was pressed against the cold floor, and she trembled with shame.

Shen Yu looked at them coldly, without a trace of sympathy:

"Get out of here. If I ever hear you gossiping again, it won't be as simple as just kowtowing."

Wang Fugui and Zhao Tingting felt like they had been granted a pardon. They scrambled to their feet and didn't dare mention the large apartment they had been longing for. They slunk away from the sales office.

As soon as they entered the sales office, Wang Fugui slapped Zhao Tingting across the face.

Zhao Tingting was stunned by the beating. Ever since she married Wang Fugui, because she was young and knew how to act cute, and even gave birth to his son, he had never spoken harshly to her, let alone hit her.

She was so upset and cried her eyes out.

"Husband, how could you hit me like that? I've been with you since I was so young, and I even gave you a son. You promised you'd treat me well for the rest of your life..."

In the past, Wang Fugui would have softened his tone and coaxed her long ago, considering her young age.

But now, Wang Fugui gets furious whenever he thinks about what happened at the sales office. He can't even coax her anymore. The fact that he can refrain from beating her to death is already out of consideration for their years of relationship and the youngest son she gave birth to.

"You still have the nerve to cry?"

Wang Fugui couldn't hold back and started cursing.

"You spendthrift woman, you troublemaker! If you hadn't insisted on provoking Jiang Xinlan, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"Instead of crying here, you should be thinking about what to do if we can't make it in Jiangcheng anymore! Otherwise, you'll be too heartless to even cry later!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tingting could no longer cry.

She had finally enjoyed a few years of good life. If Wang Fugui went bankrupt, wouldn't she no longer be able to shop, get beauty treatments, or leisurely enjoy afternoon tea?

Zhao Tingting regretted it more and more, and quickly softened her tone.

"Honey, please don't be angry. It was my fault, I promise I won't do it again. Please don't be so mean to me, okay?"

When Wang Fugui saw that she was still playing this game, he completely lost his patience, said "Let's get a divorce" and left with a dark face.

Before the news spreads completely, he needs to finish up all the projects that can be finished, and transfer all the ones that cannot be finished, in order to recover his investment as much as possible and avoid ending up in bankruptcy liquidation.

With money, there are plenty of women. He never wants to touch a jinx like Zhao Tingting again!

Zhao Tingting felt like the sky was falling. After being rejected by Wang Fugui in her various attempts to beg for forgiveness, and even being barred from seeing her son, she dared not hate Wang Fugui, but instead resented Jiang Xinlan even more.

If it weren't for Jiang Xinlan, she would still be living the life of a wealthy wife. How could she have ended up like this?

Thinking of this, Zhao Tingting took out her phone and sent a message to her cousin Li Qianqian, who was far away in Beijing.

"Sister, please help me, okay? Jiang Xinlan, that little bitch, is so lucky. Shen Yu is back, and he seems to have a powerful background. Now, thanks to Shen Yu, Jiang Xinlan is living a good life again."

"You absolutely mustn't let her get away with this!"

Since Jiang Xinlan dropped out of school, her cousin's life has improved.

Not only did she suddenly have a large sum of money to study abroad, but she also made connections with influential people in Beijing. After graduation, she successfully stayed in Beijing, married a second-generation rich kid, and is living a very comfortable life.

If my cousin knew that Jiang Xinlan had turned her life around, she definitely wouldn't let it go.

Jiang Xinlan is just waiting to be in trouble!
