Chapter 1551: Not Going to Give It to You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Her father and grandma didn’t like her in the first place. Now that she had a little brother they doted on, she didn’t want to follow her father. Her mother only had her, and she treated her well. If she didn’t follow her mother, her mother would have nothing. She liked her mother and wanted to follow her and her maternal grandparents.
Fang Ling Ling clearly expressed her wishes and the court naturally handed her over to Xu Shengnan. With added support from Fang Ling Ling, the court also increased the percentage of Xu Shengnan’s ownership of the house from eighty-two to eighty-five.
Also, before Fang Ling Ling reached the age of eighteen, Fang Shiyou had to give her a living allowance. However, Xu Shengnan had to bear the expenses herself if she enrolled Fang Ling Ling into additional and more expensive tuition classes. Fang Shiyou had to provide for Fang Ling Ling’s normal schooling fees and monthly living allowance.
After the verdict of their divorce, the court gave Fang Shiyou a multiple-choice question. Number one, Fang Shiyou would give Xu Shengnan eighty-five percent of the house price so that the house belonged to him. Number two, if Fang Shiyou couldn’t produce the money, Xu Shengnan would give him fifteen percent of the house price so that the house belonged to her. Number three, if both parties didn’t have the money, they would sell the house and split the money accordingly.
Of course, Fang Shiyou couldn’t choose the first option. He could only naturally choose between the second and the third. “I choose to sell the house!” Knowing that the house’s price would increase in the future, Fang Shiyou was jealous. Even if the house couldn’t belong to him, he would definitely not let Xu Shengnan have this advantage as well.
Xu Shengnan was a really ruthless woman. He had taught their daughter badly, causing him to be left with nothing. Even his only house had to be given up. If he had known that Xu Shengnan was such a woman, he wouldn’t have married her back then. Perhaps he wouldn’t be bullied so badly by Xu Shengnan today.
In the face of Fang Shiyou’s accusations, Xu Shengnan naturally refused to acknowledge them. “Fang Shiyou, don’t say your words so beautifully. Do you really think I don’t know anything? You married me back then because I had a good job and a high salary. Most importantly, my family and I had just moved to the capital. Aside from my parents, I don’t have any relatives. If any conflict happened between us, nobody would stand out for me. Do you think I don’t know any of these?”
Fang Shiyou was just trying to bully her, seeing that she was a foreigner and had no foundation in the capital. After getting married, only Fang Shiyou could propose a divorce. It was generally impossible for her to do so.
It turned out that Fang Shiyou had harbored such bad ideas since the day they started to fall in love. She was too young back then and was deceived by Fang Shiyou’s honest face. She definitely would not be tricked a second time if she met someone like Fang Shiyou again. “So be it. I’m okay. If I don’t have the house, at least I have money.”
Xu Shengnan really didn’t want to be entangled with a man like Fang Shiyou anymore. It wasn’t as if she didn’t have a house. After selling the house for money, she could bring Ling Ling back to her parents’ home. Coincidentally, her parents were lonely. They would definitely be happy if she brought Ling Ling home.
Seeing that Xu Shengnan didn’t seem to have any attachment to their house and she couldn’t wait to sell it quickly so that she could get some money, Fang Shiyou was so angry that his face turned green.
In order to prove that he didn’t care more about their past than Xu Shengnan, after the court had made the ruling, Fang Shiyou took the real estate certificate and went to find an intermediary to sell the house without another word.
‘Coincidentally’, just as Fang Shiyou stepped into the intermediary company, an intermediary was on the phone. Someone was asking for a listing similar to Fang Shiyou’s house. “Oh, okay. Boss, I’ve noted down your requests. It should be within the 3rd Ring Road and more than a hundred square meters. The house price should be below twenty million yuan. Okay, I’ll let you know immediately once we have news of such a listing.”
If he could really sell this house, the commission alone wouldn’t be a small sum of money. He was going to be rich.
“Hello, sir. Do you want to buy a house or sell a house? Or perhaps, are you looking to rent a house?” Once the intermediary hung up the call and saw Fang Shiyou, he gave him a professional smile and asked him with politeness.
Fang Shiyou looked embarrassed. When the intermediary was repeating the housing conditions just now, he had listened to every word of it. Upon thinking about the real estate certificate on his hands, Fang Shiyou revealed a pained expression. It was afraid that this house couldn’t be retained anymore and had to be sold.
“Why? Can’t bear to sell the house? I’ve said it before. If you give me more than twelve million yuan or if I give you two million yuan, the house can still be retained. You refused both options, so let’s do this simply. I don’t want to continue keeping in touch with you. If it’s possible, aside from Ling Ling, let’s not meet in the future.” Xu Shengnan was expressionless. It was good if they sold the house. That way, she could completely abandon the past and lead a good life with Ling Ling.
Fang Shiyou snorted and laughed coldly. “Don’t even think about it. Even if you could produce the money, I wouldn’t leave this house to you and let you have an advantage. Sell!” Leave the house to Xu Shengnan and watch the house price increase? In her dreams!
“Let’s go!” Xu Shengnan didn’t hesitate. She only wanted a result as soon as possible and didn’t think as much as Fang Shiyou for the other aspects.
There was a ready buyer. When Fang Shiyou first heard the call just now, he had a mistaken feeling that Xu Shengnan had found this intermediary and put on this act deliberately in front of him. However, Fang Shiyou couldn’t be bothered with anything right now. He was completely agitated by Xu Shengnan, who couldn’t wait to draw the lines clearly between them.
Xu Shengnan didn’t find this intermediary. Fang Shiyou was very confident about this. Xu Shengnan couldn’t wait to split ways with him. He wasn’t willing to look at her face any longer as well. “Hello, we are here to sell our house. Here’s some basic information about the house.”
“Oh, how coincidental. I received a buyer’s call just now. Your house suits his requests.” The intermediary’s eyes shone. He was still thinking of working hard to close this deal. Who knew that before he could find out more information about the house, a ready seller had come knocking on his door? “Are you sure you want to sell this house? If you are, I can help you contact the buyer now. What’s the selling price you have in mind?”
