After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

"So you’re basically working for Lin Jiang now. Is he paying you a salary?"

"Can you two not be so materialistic? Lin Jiang has always been good to you both, before and now. Last time at the hospital, he saw you and even got you a cab home. Don’t always be so fixated on these petty gains."

Chen Jingxian knew Lin Jiang would never treat her unfairly. Even if he wasn’t paying her a salary now, he definitely would in the future.

’But there’s no way I can accept that money. He’s helped me so much. This is the only way I can repay him.’

"What are you talking about, dear? We don’t object to you helping him out. Starting a business is the hardest part, so it’s only right that you help," Wang Minxia said.

"Our main concern is your apartment mortgage. We can’t help you much with it, so we were hoping you could earn a bit more and pay it off sooner."

"You don’t have to worry about that anymore. Lin Jiang already paid off the entire loan for me."

"Lin Jiang paid off your loan for you?!" Chen Jingjia’s voice rose as she stared at her sister in astonishment.

"Huh? Your apartment had a loan of over two million, didn’t it?!"

"Mhm, Lin Jiang helped me pay it off a while ago."

Chen Jingxian intentionally revealed this, precisely to make Chen Jingjia understand what a foolish decision it was to divorce Lin Jiang.

"That kid, Lin Jiang... I really wasn’t wrong about him. It’s just a shame our family wasn’t blessed enough to have him as my son-in-law," Chen Jianguo lamented with a sigh.

"Why do you think Lin Jiang is being so good to you, all of a sudden and for no reason?" Wang Minxia asked, beating around the bush.

"It’s probably because I’m always going over to help him. He saw how hard it was for me to pay the mortgage by myself, so he paid it off for me," Chen Jingxian said.

"But don’t worry, I won’t just take his money for free. I’ll transfer him the money every month. Even though I’m getting a huge benefit from this, I still have to pay him back."

"That may be true, but why would he do something like this out of the blue?"

Wang Minxia pulled over a stool and sat down next to Chen Jingxian.

"Do you think... he might have feelings for you?"

"Huh?"

Chen Jingxian’s heart started to race. She never expected her mom to steer the conversation in this direction.

"Don’t be ridiculous. I just go there to help him. He saw how hard I was struggling and paid off my mortgage. There’s no other reason."

"He helps you pay off a loan of over two million just because you helped him out a few times? Do you think that’s normal?"

Wang Minxia lectured her.

"If he wasn’t after something, what normal person would do that?"

Chen Jingxian’s cheeks burned from her mother’s words.

She had thought about it afterward, too. Lin Jiang’s actions really didn’t follow the logic of a normal person.

After all, it was over two million, not two hundred.

"I have nothing. What could he possibly want from me?"

"What do you mean, you have nothing? My daughter is so pretty, not too fat, not too thin. She has a steady job, doesn’t hang out with a bad crowd, and she even knows how to do laundry and cook. You’re much better than most women."

Wang Minxia said in all seriousness,

"I know that kid, Lin Jiang. He’s reliable and down-to-earth. It’s entirely possible he likes someone like you. Now that he’s suddenly rich, he couldn’t bear to see you suffer and paid off your loan. That makes perfect sense."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I still have work to do."

Chen Jingxian forcefully cut off Wang Minxia’s spiel. Her own mind was a mess, and she had no idea what to say about the matter.

"I’m being serious with you. It’s definitely impossible with Jiajia now. Why don’t you try getting closer to Lin Jiang? I really like that kid."

"Oh, stop making things more complicated! I have work to do."

Spouting a random excuse, Chen Jingxian grabbed her laptop and retreated to her bedroom.

On the sofa, Chen Jingjia heard their entire conversation crystal clear.

But at this moment, she had no heart to care about what kind of relationship her sister and Lin Jiang had.

The things that had happened replayed in her mind, scene by scene.

A bag for her sister that cost over thirty thousand!

A Maybach worth over three million!

The 165-million-yuan house at Century Triumph!

All of these things were directly connected to Lin Jiang.

’Even if he’s on good terms with the Qin Sisters, they wouldn’t just lend him all this stuff, would they?’

’Could he have really made it big?’

’Has he become a rich man?’

’No!’

’Just sitting here speculating is not the answer. I’ll find an excuse to go check out C2401 tomorrow and see for myself.’
