"What are you doing?" Wang Zhujun was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure.
"Didn't you hear me? Pay the rent. " The landlord was a fat woman in her forties. Her thin camisole couldn't hide the fat that was squeezed out. She had one foot on a slipper and two hands on her waist, blocking both sides of the door frame. There was no gap at all.
Wang Zhujun looked at the hill-like woman and said forcefully, "Why are you so fierce? When did I miss out on your rent?"
"The past is the past. Now is the present. You've been here for more than a week. Your man is gone and you still want to continue living here?" The landlord said impatiently, "If you don't want to continue living here, then pay this month's rent."
"Who said I don't want to live here? I'll continue living here." Wang Zhujun stroked the messy hair on her forehead.
"You have to pay the rent if you continue living here," the landlord said matter-of-factly.
"Are you afraid that I'll run away?" Wang Zhujun said hatefully, "I still have three months' deposit with you, right?"
"Deposit?" The landlord suddenly laughed. "It's fine if you don't mention the deposit. Now that you mention it, I have to calculate it for you."
"Calculate what?" Wang Zhujun was puzzled.
The landlord pointed at the messy house and said, "It was fine when I rented it to you, right? Look at the wall now. Is that blood or something? Did you throw a sanitary napkin on the wall? How can you be so wicked? You can fight all you want. I have a good air conditioner, tables and chairs. What did I do to you? Look at what else can be used.
You still have the nerve to ask me for a deposit? That deposit isn't even enough for my air conditioner. "
"Isn't that …" Wang Zhujun wanted to explain, but she felt a little weak. She could only say, "I'll compensate you for all these. I don't lack your money."
The landlord looked her up and down. "I know you're rich. A piece of clothing costs more than half a year's rent. But I can't wait anymore, okay? I'm selling this house! I'll hand it over the day after tomorrow! "
"What? Sold?" Wang Zhujun was surprised. She wanted to buy this house before, but the landlord refused to sell it no matter what. The market price is twice as high, "the landlord said proudly." Only a fool wouldn't sell it. I packed all the things in the house and gave them to them. Otherwise, do you think this deposit can solve everything? You'll definitely have to compensate me. You should be happy about it.
So, now, you have to pay me the rent! "
"Can you wait? I'll give it to you tomorrow. Look, I don't have anything with me right now." She rummaged through her bag. Apart from makeup and dozens of yuan in change, there were only some documents and bank cards.
"You can withdraw money downstairs." The landlord pointed at the bank card and said, "Do you think you don't have enough rent?"
"Then come downstairs with me." She never thought that one day she would be forced to do this because of a thousand or eight hundred yuan.
She nervously followed the landlord downstairs to the bank. She wasn't sure how much money was left in her card because most of it had been placed in her son's account.
Ever since she got married, she no longer cared about money. Money was just a number to her, and she was too lazy to remember numbers.
"I still have $3459.44."
Hearing the number reported by the cashier, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The cashier asked, "How much?"
"Take them all out." In a panic, she handed all the bank cards over. "Please help me see how much money I have left in these cards. Thank you."
"The other card isn't from our bank. It's from ICBC. We won't accept it." The cashier took one card and operated it for a while. Then she said, "This is a supplementary card. It's been stopped."
"Thank you." Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt bad at that moment.
After paying the landlord the rent, she stood under the scorching sun for a few minutes. ICBC was on the opposite side of the road.
After struggling for a while, she still couldn't reach the opposite side of the road. The remaining cards were all supplementary cards. She gave up hope.
She moved to a shady place and rummaged through her bag. She couldn't find any tissues, so she lifted her skirt and wiped her sweat. Then she let out a long sigh of relief.
What she had experienced today made her feel like she was in a dream.
A nightmare.
"Divorce is no big deal. Life isn't a fate. It's a choice. Wang Zhujun, live your life with dignity! "She cheered her on. She was glad that she was an independent modern woman. She was a famous TV host and was treated well. It wasn't like she couldn't live without a man. She muttered to herself, "Let go of the sadness and live a good life."
Every day, she would dress elegantly and calmly. She would continue to wear textured clothes and give herself a different smile.
Then she would find a quality boyfriend. He didn't have to be rich, but he had to make her feel safe and happy.
She flagged down a taxi. Other than her parents, she had nowhere else to go.
But she didn't know that this was just the beginning.
Lu Bo wanted to bid farewell to his past after moving to a new house.
He had already decorated the new house two months ago. This time, it was decorated according to the traditional Chinese architectural style that he liked. The furniture was exquisitely carved, but there were too many red mahogany elements. Everywhere had a strong rustic hue, and it was filled with a strong sense of old age and wealth.
He used the best he had ever seen as the standard. He decided to be extravagant for himself.
"She went back to her parents' home." Yu Deyao didn't forget to report to Lu Bo. "The first place she went to was the sports center, then the bank."
"Has the collaboration with Tai Gu Real Estate been settled?" Lu Bo asked.
"Their conditions are very strict. I'm afraid …"
Lu Bo said indifferently, "If we can't open a path for them, we'll just go with the flow and make money peacefully …"
Yu Deyao said, "Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean."
Lu Bo said, "Sometimes it seems like we're compromising, but we're actually waiting for an opportunity."
But he couldn't continue to compromise with her, nor would he give her another opportunity.
The sun had set. The sun wasn't as hot as before, but the stuffy air made her feel even hotter.
She dragged her tired body into a six-story building.
She used the last bit of her strength to climb up to the fourth floor.
"Mom." It was her mother who opened the door.
"Yeah." After opening the door, her mother ran straight to the sofa and sat down.
She looked up and saw her parents, elder brother, sister-in-law, younger sister-in-law, nephew and niece's wife all sitting on the sofa with solemn expressions.
"What's wrong? Everyone is here today?" She forced a smile as she changed her shoes. "Is there something good to announce?"
"Something good? What have you done? "
"What's wrong?" She was startled by her brother Wang Zhulian's ferocious expression.
