After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Kang Zhichao sighed helplessly, yet he was still complaining, "I’m only going to drive a couple of rounds anyway, it’s not like I could really wreck your car."

"If I can’t drive it, fine, but at least give me a ride home to experience it, that’s possible, right!"

"Alright, get in the car."

Li Baojun found it difficult to reject this request; in fact, he was quite eager to let Kang Zhichao have a seat in the Wenjie M9, and it was the perfect opportunity to show off a little.

"I’ll come along too then."

Kang Huizhi thought she might use the car ride as an opportunity to ask Kang Zhichao about the preparations for their father’s grand eightieth birthday celebration.

"I’ll head upstairs then."

Li Manshu didn’t plan on joining them. She nodded toward Kang Zhichao and Wang Huixin before heading straight into the building.

She knew Wang Huixin, her aunt-by-marriage, quite well. Wang was the typical blabbermouth and loved to gossip. If she got in the car too, Wang would surely pester her about Yang Hao incessantly—a topic Li Manshu desperately wanted to avoid.

"This car really is comfortable!"

"I can’t believe how spacious the back seat is!"

Wang Huixin and Kang Zhichao sat in the second row, both full of praise for the comfortable seating and generous space.

The corners of Li Baojun’s mouth curved up slightly. He used to be the butt of jokes whenever he visited the Kang Family, but today, he was finally looked up to, which made him feel pretty good inside.

After restarting the car, he skillfully made a U-turn, then asked, "Zhi Chao, what’s the name of your neighborhood again?"

"Crystal City."

Kang Zhichao replied casually.

Then they heard Li Baojun say, "Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, navigate to Crystal City!"

Following Li Baojun’s command, the car’s navigation system immediately displayed the route to Crystal City.

This sort of voice feature was standard on new energy vehicles, but for Kang Zhichao, who was accustomed to driving an older Corolla, it still seemed very high-end. Especially since the Wenjie M9’s system was quite smooth; the navigation page popped up almost immediately after Li Baojun gave the voice command, without any lag.

"It’s these voice controls that really make it comfortable."

Kang Zhichao couldn’t help but comment.

"It’s a shame, we don’t have a son-in-law as great as Yang."

Wang Huixin let out a sigh, her eyes unable to hide her envy and jealousy.

Her and Kang Zhichao’s daughter was just eighteen this year—she would be going to university in Hucheng in September. It wasn’t one of the top institutions in Shanghai, but Shanghai Normal University. Although it was still an undergraduate program, employment prospects for teaching colleges had been tightening over the years, with a high chance of graduating into unemployment.

"Xiao Xiao is starting university this year, right?"

"Maybe she’ll meet a great guy in college."

Kang Huizhi tried to offer some comfort.

"University relationships aren’t reliable; Xiao Xiao needs to focus on studying for her postgraduate exams! We can’t have her just working after finishing her undergrad—she won’t find a good job that way!"

Wang Huixin quickly added, though her words were obviously pointed, as both Li Manshu and Li Manni started working after completing their undergraduate degrees.

Kang Huizhi could certainly pick up on the underlying message in her sister-in-law’s words. If it had been in the past, she probably wouldn’t have said anything in response. But times had changed. What was wrong with working after completing an undergraduate degree?

Her youngest daughter, Li Manni, had already become a TV host with a certain level of national fame!

"Huixin, you can’t just say that. Whether you can find a good job depends more on personal ability. Manni also worked right after finishing her undergraduate studies, started as a journalist, and now has become a host. Her classmates who went to graduate school have to keep studying for another three years."

Kang Huizhi was extremely proud when mentioning Li Manni, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

After hearing this, Wang Huixin’s mouth twitched, and she was at a loss for words.

Regardless of whether Li Manni had pulled some strings to get her job, she was indeed now a famous influencer and host. Wang Huixin had even bragged about her niece, Li Manni, in conversations with others!

But after all, Li Manni was the child of another family. At this moment, what Wang Huixin felt most was jealousy.

"Manni got that hosting job with Yang’s help, didn’t she?"

After a moment of contemplation, Wang Huixin added a comment, obviously implying that Li Manni’s success as a host was due to Yang Hao’s help.

"I guess so."

"I didn’t ask for specifics."

Kang Huizhi didn’t care at all about whether Li Manni had become a host with Yang Hao’s help because she knew Yang would still be her son-in-law.

It’s only natural for family to help family. It’s not as if they should ignore their own and go out of their way to help strangers, right?

"Sister-in-law, it’s not that I want to talk about Manshu, but Yang is such a good man. To just divorce like that, where can you find such a man again in the future? And now he’s helping out of past affection, but there might not be any guarantee of his help in the future!"

Wang Huixin seemed regretful as she spoke, but internally she was slightly gloating.

Now that Yang Hao had become a billionaire magnate, if he continued to be Kang Huizhi’s son-in-law, their family’s fortunes would skyrocket even further.

Even now, Kang Huizhi’s family, which used to be the least remarkable among relatives, had turned things around.

"Speaking of Manshu and Yang’s divorce, it really is a pity. Manshu herself should have known better—life is full of ups and downs. As the saying goes, fortunes can change thrice before old age. Yang had some difficulties before, but Manshu shouldn’t have just divorced him because of that!"
