After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 883 - 473: Schemes and Counter-Schemes

When Zhai Xinxin returned home, Geng Lehua was still in the living room, engrossed in watching television.

This scene made her feel a surge of disgust in her heart.

From the very beginning, she had never really respected Geng Lehua. The reason she eventually chose to be with him, got their marriage certificate, and got engaged was entirely because she found Geng Lehua to be simple, easy to deceive, manipulate, and exploit.

Since meeting him at the end of last year and until this year's engagement, in less than a year, she had managed to extract around five to six hundred thousand from him in total. Most of this was in the form of gold, silver jewelry, and luxury goods, while the cash part was just a small portion, only about two hundred thousand, including a dowry of 180,000.

This, of course, did not satisfy her. She had originally thought that after getting their marriage certificate and engagement, she could naturally pressure his family in Xiu Zhou to buy a marital home, and then, when the timing was right, get a divorce and split the family property.

That way, at least two or three million could easily be pocketed.

Unfortunately, looking at the current situation, it's unlikely that Lehua's stepmother will pay for the house in full. And a mortgage would be too risky for her; the return would not be commensurate with the time, effort, youth, and body she invested, falling far short of her expectations.

If that's the case, she's certainly unwilling and can only "sell early to cut losses."

Fortunately, she met a big financier like Chen Feng this time. In terms of looks and temperament, he was way ahead of Geng Lehua.

She finally had a better next option, and she even planned to settle down with Chen Feng in the future, striving to become Chen Feng's legit wife. Even if she couldn't become the main wife, she believed that a big financier like Chen Feng wouldn't treat her badly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In short, Chen Feng was far superior to a completely average man like Geng Lehua. No matter which woman was choosing, between the two, they would definitely choose Chen Feng.

So, with no doubt, she chose Chen Feng, and deep down, she was desperately eager to be with Chen Feng, to cling tightly to this golden leg of his.

"You're back? How's Miao? Is she okay?"

Seeing Zhai Xinxin return, Geng Lehua actually diverted his gaze from the TV and turned to look at her. He asked about her friend Miao with a hint of concern.

Zhai Xinxin took a deep breath, changed her shoes while saying, "She's fine. They made up again."

Geng Lehua acknowledged with a sound before turning his eyes back to the TV, engrossed once more. He showed no interest whatsoever.

In Zhai Xinxin's eyes, besides seemingly honest, Geng Lehua had almost no redeeming qualities.

"Lehua, I need to talk to you about something."

Zhai Xinxin walked to stand in front of Geng Lehua with a serious expression, blocking his view of the TV.

"Can it wait until this episode is over?" Geng Lehua, engrossed in watching his show, paid no attention to Zhai Xinxin's expression. He had never been one to read the room, let alone understand how to please women, to comprehend their minds.

A person like him is hard-pressed to find any woman who would like him, let alone have a beauty like Zhai Xinxin marry him.

Instinctively, Zhai Xinxin wanted to lash out, but she restrained herself. After all, what she was about to discuss with him would certainly be cruel to him, so she let him enjoy a bit longer.

Zhai Xinxin obediently moved out of his way and sat not far from him.

When the episode finished and the commercials began, Geng Lehua finally turned his attention back to Zhai Xinxin, cautiously asking, "What was it you wanted to tell me just now? Is it about the marital home?"

However, Zhai Xinxin shook her head with a solemn face, and without beating around the bush, she said, "Let's get a divorce. I've fallen for someone else."

Geng Lehua was first stunned, then quickly forced a smile, "Xinxin, I know you're upset about the marital home. I promise you, within a month, I'll do everything I can to get my parents to buy us a house."

Though touched, Zhai Xinxin thought about forcing his parents, especially his stepmother, to pay for a house in full within a month. She could still proceed with her original plan.

But she quickly thought of Chen Feng, the promises Chen Feng made, the assets worth at least several billion, and the Lakefront Villa. She immediately suppressed the thought of following the original plan.

"The house is just one reason. But mainly, it's a matter of emotions."

Saying this, Zhai Xinxin shook her head and sighed deeply, almost on the verge of tears, "You should know that at first, I wasn't interested in you at all. Later, due to your persistent pursuit, I was slowly moved, and I finally decided to be with you.

I originally thought I could try to love you gradually, and we could slowly have our own house and children, forming a happy little family.

But as we started living together, I realized we had too many differences—our values, views on love, and family concepts are completely different..."

"Xinxin, please stop." Geng Lehua's face was full of confusion and pleading, "Don't scare me. I know I have many flaws, but I'm willing to change. You want a house; I can call my dad right now and threaten him with my life. He and my mom would definitely buy it for us and pay in full. I can beg them to have only your name on the property certificate. Whatever you want, as long as I can do it."

Hearing this, Zhai Xinxin felt another stir in her heart. She almost couldn't resist asking what assurance he could offer that his stepmother would pay for the house in full and have only her name on the property certificate.

Zhai Xinxin felt a struggle in her heart. If she could go with the original plan, with the house fully paid for, and her name alone on the property certificate, then when they divorced, she would have the absolute upper hand. It might even be possible to secure this house worth several million. Nonetheless, a divorce lawsuit might be inevitable at the end, and she might only get half the house. It would depend on how she maneuvered at that time. There were still some variables involved.

Meanwhile, with Chen Feng, spending just two years with him guarantees at least over three million. If she played her cards right, that villa worth at least two or three tens of millions could be transferred under her name. She could even secure more from Chen Feng, like having a child with him—wouldn't he reward her handsomely for that?

So, how should she choose?

Geng Lehua was watching Zhai Xinxin intently at this time, and of course, he noticed the struggle and hesitation on her face. Though he was honest, it didn't mean he was stupid. He immediately pressed on, "Haven't you always wanted a BMW? I'll buy you one tomorrow."

"I want a BMW X7. Can you afford it?" Zhai Xinxin asked with a cold face.

Geng Lehua was momentarily at a loss for words. The BMW X7 was worth millions; he certainly couldn't afford it. But at this moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can afford it. I'll call my family tomorrow to have them pay for it. As long as I..."
