The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 820 - 817: Pregnant 6

Zhou Xiaoxuan’s makeup is heavy, but the thick foundation and eyeshadow can’t hide her dark circles, making her look alarmingly haggard.

Yan Xixi can’t help but ask, "How’s the divorce case going?"

She sighs, "I want ten million, but that bastard is only willing to give three million, and after many rounds of negotiation, he’s still only giving three hundred and fifty thousand."

"What about the house?"

"Don’t bring it up, all the properties belong to his family. I don’t have a single one under my name. I’ve been busy looking for a house these days, what’s three hundred thousand going to do? After buying, there’s barely anything left..."

Xu Xiaoya says angrily, "His family is so rich, why are they so stingy?"

"The old hag said that three hundred and fifty thousand is already a good deal for me... Ah, I’m at a loss too, just waiting for the court’s verdict. I wanted to draw it out, but the longer I drag it out, the less likely I’ll get the money. I’ll wait for the money to hit my account, then I’ll sign for divorce immediately."

"Why not drag it out a bit more, don’t let his family live peacefully..."

"How can I drag it out? The mistress is already pregnant and living in his house. The old hag said the mistress’s ultrasound shows it’s a boy, he’s due in two months, and they’re treating her like an empress... How can I compete with their precious grandson?"

"His family is truly shameless..."

"Who can I blame? My stomach’s not helping me. Ah, heaven is unjust, I really don’t understand why... I really suspect the mistress is pregnant with a bastard child..."

Whether it’s a bastard or not doesn’t matter; what matters is the mistress can defeat you with her pregnancy.

"Ah, I’m feeling really bad today. Xu Xiaoya, Yan Xixi, you two must treat me to dinner."

Anyway, idling around does no good, so the three headed straight to the restaurant.

The place was chosen by Zhou Xiaoxuan, it’s also her favorite spot.

Once there, she suddenly remembered something, whispering, "I forgot, this is Zhou Ting and Mrs. Huang’s favorite place too, should we go somewhere else?"

Yan Xixi feels a stir in her heart, casually saying, "It’s hot out, I’m too lazy to change. Let’s stick to here."

"True, what am I afraid of? Zhou Ting, that woman, is so ungrateful, she doesn’t bother with me now anyway. If we bump into them, so be it."

They were almost done eating when indeed, familiar voices were heard nearby.

Soon after, Mrs. Huang along with her sister and two other women appeared at the entrance. Upon seeing Yan Xixi, Mrs. Huang immediately walked over, "Oh, Xixi, aren’t you going to South Country University? Why haven’t you left yet? It’s almost the start of the school year, isn’t it?"

Yan Xixi showed no reaction, "It’s still early, I’ll leave in a few days."

"I always thought you’ve already left."

"No rush. There’s still some stuff at the shop. Going there too early isn’t fun, being all alone."

Mrs. Huang sat down uninvited, and the women, all laughing and chatting, came over to sit nearby as if they were long-time friends.

Xu Xiaoya was quite displeased, but seeing Yan Xixi’s calm demeanor, she remained silent.

The women started gossiping about Yan Xixi going to Harvard.

"Come, come, let me introduce you, this is Yan Xixi, she’s particularly smart, got into South Country University..."

"I never expected this girl to be so amazing. Passing up on such a great school..."

"I have an old friend’s son at Zaotian University, and we already thought that was incredible, but isn’t South Country University even better?"

"Such a pretty girl, with boundless prospects..."

Mrs. Huang grinned warmly, her tone especially affectionate, "Xixi, are you coming back home after graduation?"

Another person chimed in, "Why come back home?? Nowadays, many people are immigrating to South Country..."
