Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s

Chapter 32 - A Visit From The Family (2)

“How come I never felt that you are such a convincing person in the past?” She was like a completely different person. If his cousin was this smart this entire time, would Ye Zhiqiang had asked for a divorce? Or was she just faking it all these years while she waited for him to have an affair so she could gather evidence and sweep him out the door?

Not knowing what Shu Jianyang was thinking about, Shu Yan inquired about the situation with the remaining two houses.

“Both of them are located in very nice areas and you are not asking for a ridiculous price. There has been a lot of inquiries, so I trust that they would be sold shortly.” Shu Jianyang didn’t think that Shu Yan should sell all of her houses, “You sure you don’t want to keep one for yourself? What if... at least you and the kids will have a place to stay when you come back here.”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Shu Yan understood what his worries were. A woman, going to a completely new place with two children. Better safe than sorry; having a house was a good safety net.

“Or you don’t need to go at all. Third Brother might not be very capable, but I can at least protect the three of you.” She was a woman with two children and a lot of money. If anything happened to her in a foreign place, there wouldn’t even be anyone who could help her. At least he’d be close to her in City Xi.

Shu Yan smiled appreciatively and said, “Mostly, I want to start over somewhere where nobody knows me. I have too many bad memories in City Xi.”

There was no way she could stay in City Xi. Nothing would remain a secret forever. It wouldn’t be long before the original owner’s parents found out about her divorce and that she had a lot of money with her. They would be coming daily to hassle her. Worse, they would come with Ye Zhiqiang’s parents. How could her life go on like that?

Shu Jianyang didn’t say anymore. After the last few days, he noticed that his quiet cousin had a lot of ideas of her own and had been planning on leaving City Xi for a while now.

There was some luck involved in selling houses. It could sell the next day, or it could take up to 1-2 years. Shu Yan decided that if her houses didn’t sell in a week, she’d ask for Shu Jianyang’s help and leave with her two children.

After she had fed her children and put them to bed, she started doing some calculations. She had the $10,000 that was in the house to begin with. Shu Jianyang bought the store-front-house which was a little pricier at $300,000; his two brothers bought two houses for $150,000 each, totaling $610,000. She received $1.5 million from Ye Zhiqiang, making it $2.1 million. The remaining two houses could probably fetch $200,000 ~ $300,000. All said and done, she has about $2.4 million in cash.

$2 million back in the 90s was more than $20 million in the future. Even in 2019, not very many families have $2 million in cash.

She kept her bank deposit book, household register, and ID close to her. Speaking of household register, a city household register was of high demand back in the 90s. Many tried everything they could in order to get one. As soon as Ye Zhiqiang had made some money, he registered the entire family in the city. When they divorced, Shu Jianyang pulled some strings and moved her household register out and added her two children under her using her old address. Once the house was sold, Shu Yan would convert the register to a virtual one until she settled down and bought a house elsewhere, and she’d move her household register to the new location.

***

The night passed without dreams. Shu Yan stretched when she woke up. The two kids were still asleep. There were still tears in the corners of Ye Tianbao’s eyes. Shu Yan was a little shock when she saw that. She didn’t hear him crying last night; did he cry silently? She could see Ye Jingjing doing that, but Ye Tianbao? Normally, he’d howl even without tears. She figured it had something to do with what happened yesterday.

Shu Yan pulled his blanket back over him and sighed to herself. It hurt the children a lot when the parents split up; well, not much she could do when they have a father like Ye Zhiqiang!
