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

"You're right." Hu Guoqin nodded, then suddenly remembered something. "Nana, I remember you had a divorce case, right? Your lawyer was pretty good; he helped you win. You have to help me find that lawyer again."

"no problem."

Zhou Xiaona readily agreed.

She had a brief marriage a couple of years ago.

At the time, she was being pressured by her parents to get married, and she was also facing some difficulties in her career. In a moment of confusion, she went back to her hometown for a blind date and ended up getting married.

That good-for-nothing man was completely devoid of romance, and Zhou Xiaona was living a very stifling life.

Fortunately, she cut her losses in time and got a divorce early on.

That marriage labeled her as divorced.

However, the dowry she received also helped her pay off the debts she had accumulated before the marriage, and she was also allocated half a house in her hometown county.

From then on, she gained her freedom and was able to be herself freely.

Zhou Xiaona, familiar with the route, led Hu Guoqin to the law firm.

When Attorney Liu, who was in charge of the case, heard about it, he immediately took it very seriously.

After all, according to Hu Guoqin, the amount of marital property that Zhao Hongan concealed was enormous.

If he wins this case for his client, his commission will be a considerable sum.

"Attorney Liu, you need to hurry, my case is urgent. That old man is sending them to the little foxes every day. If you delay any longer, he'll squander all my money." Hu Guoqin was very anxious.

Attorney Liu reassured you, "Don't worry, we will collect evidence through legal channels as soon as possible and apply to check all the assets under your ex-husband's name. As long as what you said is true, you will get back every penny of the money he spent after the divorce, as well as the money he gave to other women behind your back."

Upon hearing this, Hu Guoqin felt half relieved.

As she left the law firm, she couldn't hide her excitement. Just as she was about to call her son, Hu Rui, Hu Rui called first.

When Hu Guoqin answered the phone, she heard Hu Rui say, "Mom, transfer me three thousand yuan. I have something urgent to attend to."

Hu Guoqin was taken aback: "Why do you need money again? Didn't I just give you eight hundred a couple of days ago? Besides, where would I get the money? You know when I get paid..."

She asked worriedly, "Xiao Rui, are you alright? The sounds over there are so chaotic."

Hu Rui's tone was impatient and tinged with annoyance: "What could possibly happen to me? I'm out discussing a project with friends. They're helping me make money, but I don't even have the money to treat them to a meal or tea. How am I supposed to entertain them?"

Hu Guoqin immediately looked guilty: "Men do need to spend money when they have social engagements; they can't appear stingy. It's all my fault for not being able to support you."

She then changed her tone, half angry and half excited, and said, "But Xiao Rui, don't worry, we'll get through this soon..."

She rattled off all about Zhao Hongan's hidden assets, his giving gifts to young girls everywhere, and his villa in Yunding No. 1 Courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Hu Rui frowned, looking skeptical. "Really? Where would that old man get so much money? Could he afford a villa?"

Hu Rui was fairly clear about how much money Zhao Hongan had.

From childhood to adulthood, he had used every trick in the book, from gentle persuasion to relentless pleading, in an attempt to exploit the old man.

Even if the old man really had money, it should have been plundered by the mother and son long ago.

"He's rich! Would your mother lie to you?"

Hu Guoqin became anxious when she saw that Hu Rui did not believe her.

"Your sister Xiaona and I caught that old man at the entrance of Yunding No. 1 Courtyard. We saw him sitting in a brand new Zunjie S800, and a stylish and beautiful young woman was driving."

Hu Rui was furious upon hearing this: "What? He's an old man, and he still has these kinds of thoughts?"

That old man is rich, he should be given the money!

Driving a luxury car, taking stylish and beautiful girls for a ride... This is the kind of life Hu Rui should enjoy!

"That old bastard is so selfish! Wait a minute, Mom, he just got divorced and already has so much money... Does that mean he's hiding marital assets?"

"We just came from the law firm. The lawyer said to immediately collect evidence and apply to investigate all the assets under that old man's name. Then, we can get back every penny of the money that old man spent after the divorce, as well as the money he spent on other women before the divorce behind our backs."

Hu Guoqin became more and more excited as she spoke.

Hu Rui was also excited upon hearing this.

"That's wonderful, Mom! Doesn't this mean we can live in a big villa and open a VIP realm?"

Hu Rui simply couldn't imagine that if he lived in Yunding No. 1 Courtyard and drove his Zunjie around, picking up girls would be a piece of cake.

Do not!

He doesn't even need to take the initiative to pick up girls; they'd probably be chasing after him.

Hu Rui's good days are here!

In an abandoned factory building on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

Groups of people huddled around tables, making a lot of noise.

Sunlight streamed through the dilapidated windows, revealing wisps of smoke.

Hu Rui had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and his eyes were bloodshot.

This is an underground casino. He has been here for a day and a night, and has long since lost all his money.

He just called Hu Guoqin asking for money because he wanted to gamble again.

Because he felt that his luck had finally turned around.

His luck has been terrible ever since he entered the casino yesterday; he's been losing money non-stop.

By this time of evening, I had just turned my luck around and won two rounds, but then, due to carelessness, I lost them all.

How could he possibly accept this?

He felt that as long as he had some more capital, he could definitely win back all the losses.

As a result, although they didn't get the money, they received such wonderful news.

"I'm rich now!"

"I'm a millionaire now!"

Hu Rui swung his fist forcefully.

Seeing the bustling atmosphere in the casino, Hu Rui suddenly felt confident.

"Once I get back the money the old man hid, I'll have capital to win back everything I lost before!"

"No. I have to set a limit. I can't lose everything like before. At the very least, the villa in Yunding No. 1 Courtyard can't be touched. That way, even if I lose everything else, I'll have a way out and a chance to turn things around."

Hu Rui was already planning how to spend Minglai's money.

Looking at the bustling gambling table, he felt restless.

"Even the lawyer said that once we've gathered the evidence and checked all the old man's assets, we can apply to the court to get all the money back... So what am I afraid of?"

"I've been so lucky today, it would be a real shame not to keep gambling."

Hu Rui looked at a small hut next to him.

Loans can be provided there.

The illegal loans from underground casinos had exorbitant interest rates, which Hu Rui wouldn't normally dare to touch.

But since he'll soon become a tycoon, what does he have to be afraid of?

Even if he loses the loan, he can use the money he got back from the old man to repay it.
