Qing Tang Nong.
Wang Sheng, driving his newly acquired Porsche, arrived at Lin Hao's house with Tang Xiaoli.
However, the moment they entered, both of them froze.
Wang Sheng and Tang Xiaoli had expected Lin Hao's house to be in ruins.
After all, Master Long had said they had smashed Lin Hao's house to pieces.
When they learned of the situation, they had mocked Lin Hao, saying he'd probably have to sleep on the streets.
But looking at Lin Hao's house now.
How could it possibly have been smashed to pieces?
It looked as if it had been completely redecorated!
"Didn't Master Long say they smashed Lin Hao's house to pieces? How does it look like it's been renovated?" Tang Xiaoli asked, displeased, looking at the newly refurbished house before her.
She had originally intended to mock Lin Hao.
But now that Lin Hao's house was beautifully renovated, what joke could she possibly find?
"Who knows, maybe Lin Hao renovated it himself," Wang Sheng said, chuckling. "You know, Lin Hao is such an idiot. This isn't even his house, yet he renovated it so nicely."
"One word from the landlord, and he'll have to pack up and leave!"
"Someone as poor as him only knows how to spend money on useless things," Tang Xiaoli sneered.
But as she laughed, a thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she immediately looked at Wang Sheng and said, "Say, should we go find the landlord?"
Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Tang Xiaoli's intention.
However, just as a smile appeared on his face, he said with some discomfort, "This place is so big, it might be hard to find the landlord."
"Are you stupid? Don't you have me?" Tang Xiaoli smiled at Wang Sheng.
While smiling, she quickly took out her phone and contacted the landlord.
When she and Lin Hao lived there before, she had always paid the rent.
Of course, it wasn't her money; it was Lin Hao's earnings, all of which she managed.
Lin Hao didn't mind at the time, as long as Tang Xiaoli was happy.
Moreover, having grown up in the Lin family, he honestly had no concept of money.
Even though the Lin family didn't treat him particularly well, he had never worried about money.
Furthermore, since he was ten years old, his senior sister, Lin Qingwan, had always told him to feel free to date, and if he needed money, he could just tell her.
She had plenty of money, if nothing else.
So, when he started dating Tang Xiaoli, and she said she wanted to manage the money, Lin Hao, not minding at all, directly gave her his salary card.
Tang Xiaoli dialed the landlord's number.
When she asked the landlord if he knew that the house in Qing Tang Nong had been redecorated by Lin Hao, the landlord's reply left Tang Xiaoli stunned.
The landlord said that the house had already been transferred to Lin Hao.
And it was paid for in full, in one lump sum. Whether Lin Hao redecorated it or not was his business and had nothing to do with the landlord.
Tang Xiaoli hung up the phone, dumbfounded.
"What's wrong?" Wang Sheng asked, looking at Tang Xiaoli.
Tang Xiaoli took a deep breath and looked at Wang Sheng. "The landlord said the house already belongs to Lin Hao, and it has nothing to do with him whether it was redecorated or not."
"What?"
"This house already belongs to Lin Hao?"
Wang Sheng was full of surprise, but then he remembered that Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng had transferred a significant amount of money to Lin Hao that day.
However, he had always thought that Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng were just momentarily excited.
And how could Lin Hao, a poor guy, dare to accept so much money from Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng?
Therefore, he thought that Lin Hao would definitely return the money to Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng afterward.
At most, Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng would have transferred a few tens of thousands of yuan to Lin Hao, just for show.
But now…
Did Lin Hao not return the money to Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng?
Thinking this, Wang Sheng immediately looked at Tang Xiaoli and asked, "Did the landlord say how the transaction was done? Full payment or installments?"
"Full payment," Tang Xiaoli said, her face looking very grim.
"That makes sense. Lin Hao, that loser, must not have returned the money to Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng, but used it to buy the house."
As soon as Wang Sheng said this, Tang Xiaoli incredulously asked, "That's several million! Wouldn't Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng feel any heartache?"
"Heartache for what? A few million is just pocket change for them," Wang Sheng chuckled. "I guess Lin Hao shamelessly refused to return the money, and then Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng, to save face, didn't pursue it further."
"But…" Tang Xiaoli looked at Wang Sheng, stamping her feet in anger.
However, she also knew that no matter how angry she was now, it was useless.
Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng had already given the money, and the house had been bought by Lin Hao.
These were unchangeable facts.
But she just couldn't understand, how could Lin Hao do this?
She had originally thought that after Lin Hao left her, he would live worse and worse.
But she never expected that after she left Lin Hao, he wouldn't only not live worse, but would actually live better and better.
Now he had even bought a house.
She recalled that her biggest dream when she came to Modu to start her career was to own a house of her own.
This dream, which she had worked so hard for, had not yet been realized, but Lin Hao had suddenly achieved it.
Although she now had food and shelter and was living very well.
She knew that everything she possessed now was at risk of disappearing at any moment.
It could be said that with one wrong move, she could fall from a great height and return to square one.
Therefore, even though her current life was already very good, she had not changed her dream from when she first started working in Modu: to own a house of her own.
Only then, even if she fell from a great height, she would still have her own home and wouldn't end up on the streets.
But this seemingly unattainable dream had now been so easily realized by Lin Hao.
She truly felt unconvinced and couldn't understand why Lin Hao could do this.
Why was it that after she left Lin Hao, his life suddenly became like it was on cheat mode, getting better and better?
Was she Lin Hao's jinx, and as soon as he left her, everything suddenly improved?
"Pah!"
Thinking about these things, Tang Xiaoli spat on the ground.
To be precise, Lin Hao was her jinx.
If it weren't for Lin Hao, she would have been Wang Sheng's girlfriend years ago and would have had everything she wanted.
Why wait until now?
It was simply a waste of several years of youth on a poor guy like Lin Hao!
After Tang Xiaoli angrily spat, she immediately said to Wang Sheng, "Let's go! Let's go find him. He must have no money now that he's bought a house, and he's probably delivering food."
