28: I'll treat you to something to eat when I have time.

While eating, Feng Fangfang and the others were all delighted, playing with their bracelets.

One bracelet cost thirty-eight thousand, which was truly startling.

If Xu Zimo hadn't given them to them, they really didn't know when they would ever be able to wear them.

Xu Zimo took out his phone and checked his messages.

After Lu Jiaqi went to handle the procedures, she had been supervising the new apartment. At six in the afternoon, she sent him a message, asking if he had any further instructions.

After all, it was different from other jobs.

A private assistant.

And with a monthly salary of one hundred thousand, she naturally had to be on call.

He immediately typed: "You go back and rest. If anything comes up, I'll call you."

"Okay."

Lu Jiaqi's message came very quickly, clearly indicating she had been watching her phone.

So dedicated.

Xu Zimo continued to look at his messages and found that Huang Yuqing had sent him many, mainly saying that Wang Pingping had found a new law firm again.

This was interesting.

Although he knew Wang Pingping couldn't cause any major trouble, why would Huang Yuqing, as her Best Friend, keep reporting Wang Pingping's whereabouts to him?

Perhaps she knew something?

Only money moves people's hearts.

Xu Zimo was clear that Huang Yuqing wouldn't show him favor for no reason.

Especially a Socialite like her.

So he typed: "Is this really appropriate for you?"

In less than a minute, Huang Yuqing replied: "As Pingping's Best Friend, I know how good you are to her, Zimo. She doesn't appreciate you, and now she even wants you to leave with nothing. I can't stand it, which is why I'm telling you."

Tsk!

She was putting on an act.

Were there even 'white lotus' types among Socialites?

If he were still the old Xu Zimo, she probably wouldn't have even looked at him, but Xu Zimo didn't expose her.

This was good too; knowing Wang Pingping's whereabouts would prevent him from being disgusted by her whole family.

Speaking of which, he wondered how his former brother-in-law and his fiancée were doing.

If Wang Pingping's family hadn't bled him dry, with his monthly salary, he would never have lived like that.

Xu Zimo had met Tang Xinyi.

She was a good girl, but unfortunately, she never saw through Wang Qiang and his family's true nature.

Since the Wang family used his money for the betrothal gifts and dowry, didn't that mean they had proposed to him?

How good.

Less middlemen making a profit.

So he replied to Huang Yuqing: "Thank you for your concern, but do you know Wang Qiang's situation?"

"I heard that Wang Qiang went to a KTV that day and ordered a hostess. For some reason, Tang Xinyi found out, and now the two have broken up. Wang Qiang went to her home and workplace to beg for her forgiveness, but it seems he wasn't successful... Wang Pingping's parents seem to be demanding that Tang Xinyi's family return the betrothal gifts and expenses."

"It seems they even included the money for wedding photos and some daily expenses..."

This was within Xu Zimo's expectations, but it was a bit of a pity that he didn't see it with his own eyes.

His Former Mother-in-law was as ruthless as ever.

Returning the betrothal gifts was understandable, but why should the woman's family bear the cost of wedding photos and daily expenses?

The reason this marriage couldn't happen was clearly because of her son.

However, with that Former Mother-in-law's unreasonable and argumentative personality, if things really escalated, the Tang family would probably give in and return the money.

It wasn't worth it, and it would only make the neighbors laugh.

It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to meet Tang Xinyi.

If his former brother-in-law, Wang Qiang, who used to be so arrogant in front of him, saw him with his fiancée, he believed his expression would be quite spectacular.

"I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

After Xu Zimo replied with that message, he stopped looking at his phone and started chatting with Jiang Yuwei and Feng Fangfang... At Tang Xinyi's house.

This was an old three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in the old urban area of Tianxin District, still a family dormitory from Father Tang's workplace.

Their family background was average, but they did have connections.

After Tang Xinyi graduated, she was arranged to be an intern Nurse at Central Hospital.

Recently, the family had encountered trouble, and Father Tang had a dark expression.

He was already not very satisfied with Wang Qiang. As a man, he could actually tell that Wang Qiang was not an honest person. Sometimes when he came to the house for dinner, he would even secretly look at Tang Xinyao, Tang Xinyi's sister, who was five years younger and only eighteen.

Father Tang immediately got angry and wanted to kick him out, but Wang Qiang pretended to be foolish and got away with it. After that, he was much more well-behaved when he came to the house.

This time, Father Tang was not at all surprised by what happened with Wang Qiang.

Since the incident had already occurred, he didn't scold his daughter.

After all, in front of his daughter, Wang Qiang, aside from his slightly inferior family background, had a good image, was proactive, and seemed to be obedient and devoted to her.

That's why she was touched.

Their family was not one to despise the poor and adore the rich.

It was just that Father Tang hadn't expected that even though the Wang family was clearly in the wrong, and he had returned the betrothal gifts without hesitation, now Wang Qiang's Mother was actually coming to their door to demand other expenses, scattered amounts that she had tallied up to over one hundred thirteen thousand.

This was simply absurd.

Were the wedding photos and daily expenses used by Tang Xinyi alone?

Whether there was even that much money aside, why should his family pay for all of it?

Wang Qiang's Mother was kicked out by Father Tang and actually started making a scene in the community, saying that Tang Xinyi had used hundreds of thousands from her family, and now she refused to marry and refused to return the money.

This was simply a case of blaming the victim.

Father Tang and Mother Tang were both greatly angered, even telling Tang Xinyi not to come home for a few days.

Last night, it escalated to calling the police.

But when the police arrived, such matters were difficult to handle, and in the end, they only took Wang Qiang's Mother away.

But who knew, today Wang Qiang's Mother actually went to Central Hospital where Tang Xinyi worked to cause a scene.

Tang Xinyi was still an intern, and her job was already hard to come by. If Wang Qiang's Mother continued to make trouble like this, she might lose her job.

This was reality.

Although the hospital was aware of the situation, the final handling would likely still be to avoid trouble if possible.

Unless Tang Xinyi's family resolved this matter soon, and it had to be quick.

With things escalating to this point, Wang Qiang actually shamelessly sent her a voice message: "Tang Xinyi, as long as you agree to marry me, the expenses will of course still be paid by my family, and the betrothal gifts can even be given to your family again."

In his tone, there was even a hint of smugness, as if he thought he had Tang Xinyi under his thumb.

Tang Xinyi trembled with anger and blocked Wang Qiang, including all of his family's Relatives, from her contacts.

Until she saw Xu Zimo.

Logically speaking, Xu Zimo was also a relative of Wang Qiang.

Her brother-in-law, you see.

However, Tang Xinyi's impression of Xu Zimo was quite good.

He was honest and reliable.

He was completely different from the Wang family. Even when she and Wang Qiang got engaged, it was Xu Zimo, her brother-in-law, who was busy making arrangements.

It was said that Xu Zimo, her brother-in-law, even paid for it.

It was just a pity that the more honest a person was, the more they were bullied.

Tang Xinyi had seen how arrogant Wang Pingping was in front of Xu Zimo, practically treating him like a servant.
