Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Hu Guoqin said firmly, "The bride price is 500,000 yuan, not a penny less. Think about it, I'm only forty years old this year. Even if I live to eighty, that's another forty years. That's only a little over 10,000 yuan a year. After I marry him, I'll have to do his laundry, cook for him, and sleep with him... Where can you find such a cheap nanny?"

Hu Guoqin added, "Oh, right. I have a son, so I require that my partner cannot bring his child. He can be divorced, but he cannot have children."

The marriage counselor asked, "If the other person is divorced and has children, is it acceptable for the children to stay with the woman?"

Hu Guoqin shook her head, leaving no room for negotiation: "No. Because if he has children, he can't treat my Hu Rui like his own son. I've learned this the hard way, and I can't make the same mistake twice."

"However, he can rest assured. After I marry him, we'll work together to help my husband Hu Rui settle down and build a career. Then, I'm willing to have a child for him. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"

The marriage consultant maintained a smile on her face, but inwardly she was cursing.

Because you have a son, you don't accept the other person having a son... What kind of brain circuit is that?

Some women have bizarre thought processes; they have no idea what "marrying someone of equal social standing" means, or that they can only ask someone to have what they have, and cannot ask someone to have what they don't have.

This obvious lack of self-awareness makes it particularly difficult for their matchmaking agency to succeed.

A middle-aged divorced woman with an unemployed eldest son—whoever marries you will immediately become a stepfather and will also have to find another wife for their adopted son.

They even demand that your son get married and start a career first, and then have a child with you in the future... Sister, you're already forty-one. In a few years, when your water and electricity are cut off, how will you have a child?

The demands Hu Guoqin made were hardly those of someone looking for a partner at a matchmaking center. Even if you were to make a wish at a pond, you wouldn't dare make such demands.

However, since the marriage counselor has already collected an annual fee, it's not appropriate for them to criticize their own members.

While Hu Guoqin was talking to a marriage counselor, Zhou Xiaona was casually scrolling through her phone. She opened her WeChat Moments and immediately saw the nine-grid post that Zhao Hongan had just made.

She was slightly taken aback.

Didn't Zhao Hongan just divorce Hu Guoqin?

She left with nothing.

No one knows this better than Zhou Xiaona.

She was involved in the entire process of Hu Guoqin's divorce from Zhao Hongan.

It was under her influence that her best friend Hu Guoqin had the courage to take this step, step out of her family, and start a business with her.

Zhou Xiaona also contributed a lot of ideas to Hu Guoqin's success in getting Zhao Hong'an kicked out of the house with nothing.

Now, Zhao Hongan has turned around and bought a house?

Then, Zhou Xiaona looked at the nine-grid picture and became even more agitated.

Just looking at this set of pictures, an aura of luxury immediately comes to mind.

Zhou Xiaona clicked on each of the nine photos in the grid to look at them.

From the angle of the shot, this appears to be halfway up the mountain.

Everyone in Jiangcheng knows Banshan.

This place is a gathering place for the wealthy.

The picture shows a terrace tea room, a living room and study... it is definitely a villa.

Moreover, it's a large villa.

Zhao Hongan bought a large villa halfway up the mountain?

How is that possible!

Housing prices in Jiangcheng are so high.

Countless outstanding graduates from top-tier universities like 985 and 211 have to struggle for half their lives just to buy a small apartment of less than 100 square meters in Wuhan.

Where did Zhao Hong'an, a decrepit old man who left with nothing, get so much money to buy a big villa in the hillside?

Zhou Xiaona's heart started racing.

Her fingers swiped quickly across the screen, carefully examining the photos, hoping to find the logo of the online image.

Instead of finding the logo on the online image, she spotted Zhao Hong'an's figure on a glass window...

She and Hu Guoqin were best friends, and she knew Hu Guoqin's husband very well.

It really was Zhao Hong'an!

At that moment, Zhou Xiaona was so shocked that words could not describe it.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at her best friend, Hu Guoqin.

I couldn't suppress my laughter and almost burst out laughing.

Hu Guoqin had just divorced Zhao Hong'an.

It's true... I almost let my best friend live a good life.

Hu Guoqin talked with a marriage counselor for a long time but couldn't find a suitable blind date, which made her very frustrated.

Looking up, she saw her best friend staring at her with a strange expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Zhou Xiaona took a deep breath to calm herself down before moving her phone over.

"Look."

"Wow. What a big villa! Is this your friend? How old is he? Does he have a wife?"

Hu Guoqin's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward.

This grand villa, overlooking half the city's mountains and waters, is practically her dream lover's home.

After the divorce, Hu Guoqin immediately blocked all of Zhao Hong'an's contact methods.

At the same time, he instructed his son, Hu Rui, to block all of Zhao Hong'an's contact information.

The mother and son never wanted to have any contact with that old geezer again.

Hu Guoqin felt that Zhao Hongan was old and in poor health, and had no relatives or friends. If he fell ill one day, wouldn't that be a burden on them, making them take care of him?

Therefore, it's better for both sides to break things off cleanly.

To celebrate his new life, Zhao Hong'an changed his profile picture and nickname.

Therefore, Hu Guoqin did not recognize him at first glance.

"Your old man, Zhao Hong'an."

Zhou Xiaona opened Zhao Hongan's profile page and showed it to Hu Guoqin.

"hehe."

Hu Guoqin sneered, curled her lip in disdain, and sat back down in her seat.

"That old man, he just got divorced, and he's still putting on airs. I don't know where he downloaded those pictures from the internet, and he even said something like 'In his old age, he's become a figure in a landscape painting'... Luckily we got divorced, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to bear the shame."

The marriage consultant glanced at it and said, "Oh, Yunding No. 1 Courtyard."

Zhou Xiaona asked, "Is this Yunding No. 1 Courtyard? The hillside villa development that Wang Jianjun built?"

Although Zhou Xiaona is not young, she has a strong entrepreneurial spirit and has been doing micro-business with her friends for the past few years.

They are very familiar with the luxury residential buildings in Jiangcheng and the stories of successful businessmen.

For her, all of this was very inspiring.

The marriage consultant nodded: "Yes. Some of our members live in that villa area; I've been there to discuss business. This picture is definitely from Yunding No. 1 Courtyard, no doubt about it."

"This villa must be quite expensive, right?"

Compared to Zhou Xiaona, a successful businesswoman who entered the micro-business industry early, Hu Guoqin's experience is clearly somewhat lacking.

"That's for sure. The people living halfway up the mountain are all wealthy people from Jiangcheng. Yunding No. 1 Courtyard has the best location, and even the ordinary villas there cost over 100 million."

The relationship consultant's words left Hu Guoqin speechless.

"My goodness! Even a regular apartment here costs over a hundred million... If I lived here, wouldn't I have no worries at all?"

Hu Guoqin couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Xiaona and open each of the nine photos Zhao Hongan had sent.

"Could Zhao Hongan have really made it big and moved into Yunding No. 1 Courtyard? If so, wouldn't he be hiding marital assets?"

The more Hu Guoqin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

No wonder she made so many demands for a divorce, but Zhao Hongan kept dragging his feet and refusing to agree. This time, he agreed as soon as she brought it up, and they successfully got the divorce certificate.
