Chapter 115: Getting a Divorce to Buy a House?

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned. “How early?”

Butler Liu thought for a moment. “Around 6:30.”

That was indeed quite early.

Most companies had a 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. schedule. As the CEO of the company, Lu Wanggui only worked overtime and never left early. Taking into account the traffic, it would take about half an hour to get home from the Lu Corporation, so Lu Wanggui rushed home right after work today?

But why did he leave work so early today? Was there something wrong?

Xiang Xiaoyuan subconsciously looked at Lu Bei, but Lu Bei was also looking at her at the same time.

The two of them must have thought of the same thing. Lu Bei was the first to say, “It has nothing to do with me.”

Although his father cared about him, from the time he could remember, the number of times his father came home from work on time could be counted on one hand. Therefore, he did not think that his father leaving work early today had anything to do with him.

Moreover, he thought that he had been doing well recently. He went to work and left work on time every day. He worked honestly and did not cause any trouble.

When Xiang Xiaoyuan heard Lu Bei’s affirmative answer, she thought that since it had nothing to do with Lu Bei, his biological son, then it had nothing to do with her. She just assumed that he had less work today and wanted to go home early.

When Lu Wanggui was in the study, he was usually working. Therefore, when Xiang Xiaoyuan went upstairs, she deliberately slowed down her pace. Lu Bei, also tiptoed behind her. The two of them parted at the second-floor staircase.

Before Lu Bei opened the bedroom door, he looked back at the study. The door was closed, so he curled his lips and went back to his room.

An hour later, Lu Wanggui finished dealing with work and came out of the study, just in time to meet Lu Bei, who had come out to drink water.

Lu Bei’s mouth was full of water, and he called his father incoherently.

Lu Wanggui nodded lightly, his expression very calm. The father and son had never talked much. Lu Bei thought of what Xiang Xiaoyuan had said at dinner that night, and could not help but wonder if his father was really stingy, not giving Xiang Xiao Yuan any allowance.

If that was really the case… He looked at Lu Wanggui strangely.

Lu Wanggui caught his strange expression and asked, “Do you have something to say?”

Lu Bei took another sip of water and shook his head. “No.”

He could not interfere with the matters between his father and his stepmother, and it was not up to a child to interfere.

Although Lu Wanggui felt that his behavior was rather strange, he was not a person who would probe. He thought about it as he walked upstairs.

In the master bedroom, Xiang Xiaoyuan comfortably took a rose bath as soon as she got home. At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed and playing with her phone. The screen of the phone displayed a calculator and a bunch of numbers.

The amount of money in her hands now summed to more than 16 million. Other than the money she earned as a parents’ representative and some money she earned from the stock market, the rest was all given by Lu Wanggui!

Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that she was too useless. She would never become a strong woman who relied on herself to earn money in this life! Some women were independent. Even if they married a rich man, they would not ask for money from their rich husband. Some people were like her, saying that they were independent and a strong woman, but they took the 10 million yuan from their rich husband and were so excited that they could not fall asleep.

But who cares, money is happiness!

As she calculated the balance in her bank account, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s first thought was to buy a house, a house that belonged to her!

Unfortunately, the policy on buying a house had changed, limiting the eligibility to buy a house. She and Lu Wanggui were registered in the same household. If she wanted to own her own house, they had to divorce!

The original owner had a city account, and there was no real estate under her name. Once she and Lu Wanggui divorced, there would be no real estate under her name, and she would have the right to buy a house!

However, she had taken more than ten million yuan from Lu Wanggui, and now she was going to divorce him. Using his money to buy a house… didn’t seem right?

Therefore, the matter of divorce was just a thought, and could not be put into practice.

Xiang Xiaoyuan buried her head in the soft pillow. What should she do? She really wanted to own her own house, a house that only had her name on it!

To a normal employee like Xiang Xiaoyuan, a house was their sense of belonging and security.

This was the scene when Lu Wanggui came in. Xiang Xiaoyuan was twisting and turning on the bed like a fried dough twist. She was also mumbling. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

There was a hint of a smile in his tone when he spoke.

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly stood up. Her hair was messy and stuck to her face. Her cheeks were also flushed. When she met Lu Wanggui’s inquiring gaze, she had an idea and hugged her knees with both hands, she said in a muffled voice, “I’m thinking about something.”
