Chapter 37: Receiving a summons from the Court.
Chapter 37
Li Man was having a great time chatting with her girlfriends and couldn't resist having a few extra drinks. Although she didn't feel drunk at the time, she realized she was a little tipsy after finishing her drinks.
Out of the four women, only Gu Ya remained sober. She arranged for drivers to take Li Man, Tan Xiyuan, and Chen Xiaohui home. Even though Li Man had a bit too much to drink, she was still conscious. The driver dropped her off at the entrance of her community, and she walked home on her own.
Upon arriving home, Li Man saw Huang De Han sitting on the sofa with a sullen expression, looking like someone owed him millions.
"Where did you go?" Huang De Han asked, seeing that Li Man's face was a little flushed. His eyebrows furrowed, and he sniffed, "Did you drink?"
Li Man was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him. She replied, "Yes, I went out to eat with my girlfriends and had a few drinks."
"I told you that you have nothing to do all day but eat, drink, and play," Huang De Han couldn't help but scold her.
Li Man chuckled and said, "Who said I have nothing to do all day? I found a job today, and I'm starting work tomorrow."
"You found a job?" Huang De Han was surprised. "What kind of job?"
"I'll be doing sales," Li Man said with a smile, sitting down on another single-seat sofa.
"Sales? You're going to do sales?" Huang De Han's face turned dark. "Quit your job tomorrow!"
Li Man couldn't immediately react and asked stupidly, "Why should I quit my job?"
"I'm telling you to quit, so quit! Don't ask why!" Huang De Han said in an uncompromising tone.
Li Man sneered, "Who do you think you are? Wait for you to tell me to quit, and I'll quit. Do you know how hard it was for me to find this job? I sent out hundreds of resumes, and now you want me to quit?"
Huang De Han thought that doing sales was too shameful, and he didn't want anyone to know that his wife was doing sales. He became angry and said loudly, "If you don't quit your job, I won't give you a penny next month. You figure it out on your own!"
"If you don't give it, then don't give it. Who's afraid of whom? I don't care about your money now that I have a job!" Li Man replied, still feeling unsatisfied. "Keep your money for your mistresses. I don't want it!"
"You!" Huang De Han was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Hmph!" Li Man snorted, stood up, and slapped her butt. "I don't feel like arguing with you. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to work!"
After speaking, Li Man went to her daughter's room, slammed the door shut, and left Huang De Han sitting on the sofa, unable to say a word.
They were all a pain in the neck.
He took out his phone and sent 1314 yuan to Xiaoxiao, then sent a message, "Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much..."
...
One month later.
San'er received a summons from the court. She was shocked that Li Man had sued her and demanded that she return the house and valuable items Huang De Han had bought for her.
Upon seeing the detailed records of expenses, Saner immediately understood that it was Huang De Han's doing. Because no one else could produce this evidence except for Huang De Han. Li Man was also unlikely to have access to these records.
Saner was so angry that she trembled from head to toe. If she had to return these things, wouldn't that mean she had wasted five years following Huang De Han for nothing? Was Huang De Han just trying to take advantage of her?
