After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune
Chapter 24: 24, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep.

Sun Xinyi also sensed her friend's unusual emotions, she leaned over to take a look, and said with a puzzled expression, "Huh, you guys have Micro-message friends?"

Hearing her say that, Yang Hao also leaned over to look at Zhao Yingying's scanning result, then he saw his own nickname noted in the other person's Micro-message, [Divorced with Child BYD].

"Uh..."

Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, then thought of the straightforward Micro-message blind date from last night. He opened the chat with Alisa and sent a handshake emoji. Sure enough, Zhao Yingying's phone chimed.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom!"

This was a scenario Zhao Yingying had never even dreamed of; not knowing how to handle the situation, she chose to flee to the bathroom.

"Yang, I'll go check," Sun Xinyi called out, then quickly followed her friend.

Watching the two women's retreating figures, Yang Hao just shook his head gently. He didn't have too many thoughts, he just felt it was too much of a coincidence.

Moreover, Zhao Yingying herself seemed much more enthusiastic in person than on Micro-message.

Women's restroom.

Sun Xinyi looked at her friend with a puzzled face, "Yingying, what's wrong with you?"

"Xinyi, this is so embarrassing!"

"Do you remember the blind date guy I complained to you about?"

"Uh, which one?"

Zhao Yingying had complained about so many blind date guys that Sun Xinyi didn't know which one she was referring to.

"It's the one from last night, the one Auntie Er introduced."

Zhao Yingying said as she opened her chat with Yang Hao, "Look at this."

Sun Xinyi leaned over to take a look, then became somewhat dumbfounded, "The guy from last night turned out to be Yang!"

"Yeah!"

Zhao Yingying lamented, "This guy just spent over eighty thousand during the day, and at night he pretended to be poor with me on Micro-message, and the worst part is that I believed him!"

"Now he must have the worst impression of me!"

Sun Xinyi felt she didn't have the answers either; this was just like a massive social death scene.

"Auntie Er's introductions are always very steady, so how did she suddenly set me up with a rich guy? And she didn't say a word about it!"

Zhao Yingying grabbed her hair, her face filled with regret. If the conversation went well yesterday, then today's encounter could have been a bonus, and she might have even emphasized the fate between them.

Now, it could only be considered a calamitous fate!

Elsewhere.

As Yang Hao was about to go to the second-floor equipment area, he unexpectedly ran into someone familiar at the elevator.

"Hey, it's you?"

Wang Xueru, stepping out of the elevator, saw that the man waiting for the lift looked familiar, and then recognized him as the delivery guy who had brought her cake and dealt with the cockroaches a few days ago.

"Miss Wang, what a coincidence," Yang Hao was initially startled, then also recognized Wang Xueru. She was wearing a set of black fitness clothes, a rather conservative style, but fitness attire is figure-hugging, and it still outlined her beautiful curves.

"Are you not working today?" Wang Xueru curiously asked, while thinking that the delivery guy seemed quite willing to spend money - the membership card for this gym wasn't cheap.

"I've stopped delivering for now."

"By the way, is the cockroach spray still working?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

"It's quite effective," Wang Xueru nodded, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I have something I want to ask you. Do you have a moment to talk?"

"Sure," Yang Hao responded.

Actually, Yang Hao had been waiting for her to approach him because he had left a hook the day he left; he had no news on Micro-message for the past two days, and didn't expect to run into her here today.

Yang Hao followed Wang Xueru back to the resting area.

Once seated, Wang Xueru started, "The day you left, you mentioned seeing my husband at Inspiration Advertising, but you didn't finish what you were saying. I want to know what exactly did you see?"

"Uh, did I say that?" Yang Hao played dumb.

"You did say it!" Wang Xueru nodded earnestly.

"Just talking nonsense off the top of my head, I forgot all about it..."

"Big brother, to tell you the truth, I'm already preparing to divorce, and I've found a lawyer and even gathered some evidence of my husband's infidelity, so I hope you can tell me the truth," she said.

After Yang Hao left that day, Wang Xueru began to suspect her husband, who had prior incidents, and while he slept, she secretly checked Shen Mingshan's phone. Although most of the chat history had been deleted, she still found some clues.

Besides, she'd secretly copied the contents from her husband's dashcam, which not only recorded video but also had audio capabilities.

While the camera was pointed outside and couldn't capture the inside of the car, the audio was crystal clear.

From these recordings, she discovered that her husband had dated two different women in one day, and even made a PC transaction inside the car.

The information made her feel disgusted and also led her to give up completely on Shen Mingshan.

Therefore, she sought a lawyer and was ready to sue directly for divorce, and the lawyer advised her to collect as much evidence as possible and to clarify Shen Mingshan's financial situation.

The divorce had kept Wang Xueru so busy she'd hardly been able to come to the gym every day as she used to.

Today, she had arranged to meet her lawyer in the afternoon, and seeing that she had time in the morning, she came over for a workout.

She took great care to manage her figure, especially now that she was planning to start anew.

"Shen Mingshan has a subordinate named Li Manshu, and the two have an ambiguous relationship. That's what I know," Yang Hao said.

As the conversation progressed to this point, Yang Hao didn't conceal anything anymore. After all, he had achieved his goal.

"You actually know their names?"

Wang Xueru was somewhat surprised. She remembered that she had never mentioned her husband's name, and even she didn't know Li Manshu's name, having only heard "Manshu" in the audio. Only now did she learn that the person's surname was Li.

"Didn't Shen Mingshan ask you last night if you knew a Yang Hao?"

During the accidental meeting at Starlight City the day before, in front of Shen Mingshan, Yang Hao had mentioned calling Mrs. Wang Xueru, which directly scared Shen Mingshan away. He guessed that Shen Mingshan would definitely ask Wang Xueru if she knew him.

"He asked me if I knew someone surnamed Yang."

"Could that be you??"

Wang Xueru's face shifted from surprised to shocked, she was a quite intelligent woman, and she was beginning to realize that the man opposite her had some connection with Shen Mingshan.

"My name is Yang Hao, and Li Manshu is my ex-wife," he said frankly.

"Ah?"

"This..."

Wang Xueru's eyes widened in disbelief; she felt like her brain was not working fast enough.

After a while, she finally regained her composure, "So, your visit to my house the other day wasn't a coincidence?"

"It was a coincidence."

Yang Hao smiled, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

"So, you deliberately left your sentence unfinished, to give me a hint," she quickly surmised.

"More or less."

Yang Hao nodded, then added, "Actually, I didn't intend to break up your marriage; I just wanted to give you some hints, since Shen Mingshan is not a good person."

"As for Li Manshu and me, we parted on peaceful terms, and I don't want to have any more entanglements with her," he clarified his position.

Wang Xueru was silent for a moment, then said with sincerity, "Thank you, Yang."

"Shen Mingshan actually has a history of offenses. I bore with it for the sake of my child, but this time you've helped me make up my mind!"

Yang Hao shook his head with a smile, "No one can make up your mind about divorce for you; some people will choose to turn a deaf ear no matter what others say."

"It's like that common saying, you can never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep."

"Some prefer to struggle in the quagmire of marriage rather than extracting themselves, while others make a decisive move, cutting through the mess with a swift strike!"

"It's all a matter of personal choice!"
