You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

With 100 million yuan in her account, Ruan Ning plans to buy a house and move out.

The villa in Yuejiang No. 1 has already been transferred to the new owner.

That was Fu Tingchen's compensation to her.

Ruan Ning has no intention of moving there.

Fu Tingchen knows the address, and might even have a key made.

She didn't want Fu Tingchen to know where she lived.

She listed the villa on a rental platform just a few days after the ownership transfer.

After thinking it over, Ruan Ning called her senior brother, Gu Mingzhou.

Gu Mingzhou has extensive connections in Haicheng; he might know some friends in the real estate industry and have access to good properties.

"Hey, senior, do you know anyone in real estate or selling houses?"

Gu Mingzhou: "I know you. Are you looking to buy a house?"

"Um."

What kind of house are you looking to buy?

Ruan Ning said, "I want to buy a large apartment. I don't have many requirements: it should be close to your company for easy commuting, the community should be quiet and have a nice, fully furnished interior so I can move in immediately."

Gu Mingzhou asked, "What's the budget?"

"Ten million."

"Okay, I'll ask around for you. Are you in a hurry to move?"

"Okay, as soon as possible, thank you for your help, senior brother."

Gu Mingzhou smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Ruan Ning went back to her room to pack her things.

I'll stay in a hotel for now until I find a suitable place to live.

As for the evidence of Fu Tingchen's infidelity, she has already commissioned a private investigator.

This apartment in Yunjinju was her and Fu Tingchen's marital home.

Three years ago, she came in full of love and anticipation.

The decoration here was all done according to her preferences.

She carefully selected the curtains, carpet, bed sheets, and duvet covers.

Fresh flowers are placed in the room every few days.

On the wall hang her most cherished wedding photos, which she had carefully selected.

Ruan Ning spread her suitcase on the ground and began packing her things.

She packed some daily necessities, clothes, and books, and threw away the useless ones.

The walk-in closet is filled with haute couture gowns.

Most of these were sent over by Jin Manrong in the past.

Tell her to wear certain outfits to specific parties and banquets, so as not to embarrass the Fu family.

These haute couture gowns are worn only once and then discarded; there's no point in taking them with you.

Besides formal dresses, there were also many luxury handbags.

Some of the items were bought for her by Jin Manrong to help her maintain the image of Mrs. Fu, some were gifts from the old lady of the Fu family, and some were bought by Fu Tingchen's assistant on holidays and birthdays.

Ruan Ning only kept a few limited edition bags that are no longer available for purchase. She planned to give one to Cheng Xi and keep three for herself.

Everything else was sold.

She contacted the owner of the luxury store and asked someone to come and pick it up.

Soon, the owner of the luxury store came to inspect the goods in person.

The other party kept finding fault with the product to drive down the price.

Ruan Ning was too lazy to argue with him about raising the price. Anyway, she didn't care about the money. She hadn't bought it with her own money in the first place, so she didn't feel bad about it.

After selling these, Ruan Ning continued tidying up.

In the bedside table drawer, Ruan Ning saw a lucky charm.

She embroidered it herself for Fu Tingchen and even took it to a temple to have it blessed by a master.

She was wearing Buddhist prayer beads when Fu Tingchen saved her thirteen years ago.

Ruan Ning thought he was a Buddhist.

So I embroidered this peace charm for him.

Ruan Ningjing looked at the amulet quietly, recalling the scene three years ago when she gave it to Fu Tingchen.

At that time, they had just gotten engaged. Although Fu Tingchen was not enthusiastic towards her, he was not indifferent or perfunctory either, and he still had the proper gentlemanly manners.

He took the amulet, smiled gently, and thanked her.

Three years have passed, and Ruan Ning still remembers the fluttering heart she felt back then.

Back then, she was determined to spend her whole life with him.

Ruan Ning snapped out of her thoughts, took out the peace charm that Fu Tingchen had forgotten, and casually threw it into the trash can.

After packing, Ruan Ning asked the maid to help her carry her suitcase downstairs.

The maid asked, "Madam, are you going on a long trip?"

"No," Ruan Ning said. "I'm going to stay at my best friend's house for a few days. It's too boring to stay at home alone."

Jin Manrong asked her to cooperate with the divorce proceedings, and that Bai Xinyao and Fu Tingchen should not know that she was getting a divorce until Jin Manrong found a new daughter-in-law.

Considering the 100 million yuan that Jin Manrong had just transferred, Ruan Ning cooperated readily.

"I see."

Ruan Ning used to often go back to her best friend's house for a short stay. The maid didn't suspect anything and helped her carry her suitcase downstairs and put it in the trunk.

"Then, Madam, you won't be coming home for dinner tonight?"

"Um."

Ruan Ning drove to a five-star hotel not far from Gu Mingzhou's company and stayed in a luxury suite for a week.

night.

After Ruan Ning finished showering and drying her hair, her phone screen lit up briefly.

It was a WeChat message from Shao Xun.

She clicked on it and saw a picture of glutinous rice balls.

The little guy is eating cat food.

Shao Xun: [I've received all the cat supplies you ordered. I just opened a can for Tangyuan, and it's eating it with great relish.]

Seeing the photo of her pet eating obediently, Ruan Ning's expression softened.

I'll have to trouble you these next few days. I'll bring it back as soon as I find a suitable place.

Shao Xun: [It's no trouble at all. I like it very much. My nanny takes care of it when I go to work; I don't leave it alone at home.]

Ruan Ning: [Thank you.]

In the three years since Ruan Ning and Fu Tingchen got married, they have only seen Shao Xun less than ten times.

This usually happens at banquets.

She only knew that Fu Tingchen had such a friend, but they were not close. They would just greet each other when they met and did not exchange contact information.

They exchanged contact information after Shao Xun offered to help her take care of Tangyuan last time.

hospital.

Bai Xinyao was in a bad mood all day because she didn't receive an apology from Ruan Ning.

She couldn't help but ask, "Tingchen, didn't you promise me you'd have Ruan Ning come and apologize to me? Why hasn't she come yet?"

Fu Tingchen frowned. "I asked her. She didn't push you, so why is she apologizing?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyao exploded, her eyes blazing with anger. "Fine, Fu Tingchen, you still believe her but not me, right?"

Fu Tingchen sat down by the bed and gently coaxed the person into his arms.

"Alright, Xinyao, I know you're acting like this because you feel insecure. I promise you, I haven't fallen for Ruan Ning. You're the only one in my heart. Just focus on recovering. I'll buy you whatever you want, okay?"

Bai Xinyao lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.

She knew that if she continued making a scene, Fu Tingchen would lose his patience.

It seems that this time Fu Tingchen truly believes Ruan Ning and not her.

If the surveillance cameras hadn't been broken, she could have found evidence.

The problem is that she broke the surveillance camera.

Ruan Ning knew the surveillance cameras were broken before she dared to push her off the building.

Since Fu Tingchen doesn't believe Ruan Ning would do such a thing, there's no point in her making a scene any longer.

Why not compromise and get some benefits from Fu Tingchen?

Bai Xinyao softened her tone, leaned into the man's arms, and said softly, "I heard from Ji Nanfeng that the Ji family has invested in Academician Zhou Chongshan's brain-computer interface project. The project will officially start next year, and I want to become Academician Zhou's apprentice and join his team."

Ji Nanfeng is the heir of the Ji family, and he grew up with Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao.

Fu Tingchen frowned.

He knew about this project; not only the Ji family had invested, but the Jin family had too.

His uncle, Jin Xiuhan, was the biggest investor.

For a typical research team, adding someone to the team wouldn't be a problem.

The problem is that Academician Zhou Chongshan is a top scientist in China and the most authoritative figure in the field of "control science and engineering".

Becoming his student is incredibly difficult.

Seeing the man looking troubled, Bai Xinyao shook his arm and acted coquettishly.

"Tingchen, please help me. I studied information technology in the US, which overlaps with Professor Zhou's project. I also have a high level of education; I'm a master's graduate from a prestigious university. With your Fu family's connections, it shouldn't be too difficult to get someone into Professor Zhou's team, right?"

Fu Tingchen pondered, "It's not so easy to get into Old Zhou's team."

"I just want to get some experience there, I won't join the core research team. How will you know if it works if you don't try?"

Fu Tingchen thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
