Chapter 1543: There Is a Preface

Fang Shiyou could barely afford to pay for the ten years of his daughter’s living expenses as per Xu Shengnan’s request.

“Then, let’s change the solution. Return me the house and I’ll give you money. You guys only paid nine hundred thousand then. I’ll go according to the market value of our property and pay you triple of that. 2.7 million yuan. Then, the house will be mine and Ling Ling’s, and it will have nothing to do with you.”

It was not exactly true that Xu Shengnan had a conscience. Based on how the property prices had risen in the past few years, Xu Shengnan knew that she would not even need another seven to eight years for the value of her property to double again.

In other words, the 2.7 million yuan that she was going to give Fang Shiyou would easily turn into six million in just a few more years.

On this matter, Xu Shengnan definitely had the upper hand. Just like what Fang Shiyou had said, Xu Shengnan was clear of the situation the Fang family was in.

If they had not sold their own smaller apartment then, the Fang family would never have been able to afford to pay for this larger house in the capital. They had received more than nine hundred thousand from the sale of their apartment. However, Mother Fang liked to have more cash on hand and wanted to take advantage of Xu Shengnan. Therefore, Xu Shengnan had paid over a hundred thousand when they made the down payment for the house in the capital.

After selling the small apartment, Mother Fang used the remaining tens of thousands on gold ornaments for herself to show off during Xu Shengnan and Fang Shiyou’s wedding. Other than that, when Fang Shiyou married Xu Shengnan, they had to offer a dowry to the Xu family. In addition, Fang Shiyou had taken this opportunity to borrow over two hundred thousand from his mother to purchase a car.

With that, the million yuan that they had gotten from selling the small apartment was almost all gone after a short time. Moreover, Fang Shiyou did not have a high salary and even found himself a mistress. He had to take care of his mistress and spend even more money on her after she became pregnant.

Based on her actions in the past six months, Xu Shengnan suspected that her mother-in-law already knew about her son’s affair. The only reason why Fang Shiyou could have told his mother about this was that his salary had been insufficient to cover the expenses of his mistress, so he had to borrow from his mother.

For the sake of her grandchild, Mother Fang did not refuse him.

When Fang Shiyou finally emptied Mother Fang’s pockets, he had no choice but to approach Xu Shengnan for money. Just based on the amount of makeup the mistress put on in the photo, Xu Shengnan was sure that it was impossible for Fang Shiyou to cover all her expenses with only his monthly salary.

Fang Shiyou was bold and daring to think of marrying such a woman. Did Fang Shiyou think that he was living a comfortable life because of his own abilities?

No matter what, Fang Shiyou not only had no money on hand, but his hands were also tied. As such, even if Fang Shiyou were to sell everything he had, he would not be able to hand over four hundred thousand, let alone four million yuan.

Upon hearing Xu Shengnan’s proposal, Fang Shiyou’s face flushed with anger. Seeing his grumpy appearance, Xu Shengnan’s lawyer warned Fang Shiyou through his gaze. He was afraid that Fang Shiyou would lose it and rush up to attack Xu Shengnan. Xu Shengnan’s lawyer had ever encountered such a situation earlier on in his career. But with him present, he would never let Fang Shiyou hit Xu Shengnan.

At this moment, the lawyer that Fang Shiyou had hired finally spoke up. “Actually, there’s a third way of settling this.”

“What is the third way?” Fang Shiyou’s eyes were completely red from both anger and panic. 2.7 million yuan sounded like a large sum of money. It would take Fang Shiyou forty to fifty years to earn that amount of money at the very least.

In other words, taking into account Fang Shiyou’s age, there was no way he would ever have 2.7 million yuan unless he worked until his death. But as much as Fang Shiyou lacked money, he would never take this sum of money. Once he accepted it, the house would no longer be his.

It would be difficult for him to use 2.7 million yuan to purchase another house. Even if he were to purchase another house, it would not be in such a good location nor would it have such a large area as the current one. After purchasing the house, he would still have to spend money on renovations. During the period of renovations, he would still have to rent another house.

All these were expenses to him.

Fang Shiyou had led such a life when they had first gotten married. But at that time, Xu Shengnan had arranged everything, and Xu Shengnan had been the one supporting them with her salary. Fang Shiyou also knew that it had been hard on Xu Shengnan at that time and she had treated him very well. Thus, Fang Shiyou had also wanted to live happily with Xu Shengnan at that time.

But Xu Shengnan had given birth to Xu Ling Ling, and not Xu Shi Shi. Because it had not been a son, he wavered. Moreover, he met the love of his life. And with that, Fang Shiyou chose true love unhesitatingly.

In short, there was no way he could take the 2.7 million yuan. If he were to do so, the love of his life would never forgive him for it.

“That is to sell the house that you’re living in now. Even if you can’t give Madam Xu twelve million yuan, you should still be able to give her eight million, and you’ll be left with six to seven million yuan. With that money, you can purchase a large house around the fifth ring. There’ll be just over a decade of mortgage to pay back. This is quite a good solution compared to all the others.” In this way, Fang Shiyou had the best deal.

From his initial nine hundred thousand to six or seven million yuan, the lawyer felt that the best thing that Fang Shiyou had done in his whole life was probably marrying Xu Shengnan. Marrying her had brought him a fortune.

“This…” Hearing that he would stand to gain six to seven million yuan, Fang Shiyou hesitated. With this sum of money, he would be able to purchase a house in other neighborhoods, even if they were not as good as the third ring. If that was the case, would his mother still reject the idea?

“Excuse me. I think you’re mistaken about something.” Xu Shengnan’s lawyer laughed. He felt that those two were talking amongst themselves. “The proposals that we put forth earlier were based on the premise that the house would be either your client’s or my client’s. If the house is sold, then the distribution of the proceeds will be a separate matter. Once the house is sold, Madam Xu would like the proceeds to be divided according to how much each of you paid in the first place.” Did they really think it was so easy to take advantage of her?

If the house were to be sold for fifteen million yuan, Madam Xu would get at least twelve million yuan, nothing less. Allowing the Fang family to get 2.7 million yuan was already Madam Xu’s limit.
