After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Ai Yongyi had already visited Star Cloud Bay before.

She had a client from Star Cloud Bay in the past, but their apartment was over 400 square meters.

This was her first time seeing a 688-square-meter unit. From a designer's perspective, she was quite eager to see the layout of this apartment.

A group of people entered the glittering foyer, and Yu Lili and Li Manshu couldn't help but feel emotional once again.

And Meng Chacha's vanity was satisfied once more; she quite enjoyed the feeling of being envied or even being object of jealousy.

Upon entering the elevator, Meng Yuyu pressed the number 28.

Seeing this, Li Manshu's pupils shrunk slightly. The image of Meng Yuyu pressing the elevator button immediately merged with the house-moving vlog she had scrolled through two days earlier.

So, that rich person was her??

No, it was the man behind her!!

I know I found this Miss Meng somewhat familiar; turns out she was the fitness trainer who appeared in that wealthy person's weight loss vlog.

So, did she climb the ranks via being a fitness trainer??

Instantly, a great deal of information flooded into Li Manshu's mind. She even remembered her best friend Tao Ying telling her just yesterday to sign up for a membership at a high-end fitness center when she had the time, because there was a chance to meet high-quality men there!

It seems her best friend was right after all!

If Miss Meng really did ascend from being a fitness trainer, one could say that she had achieved a leap in social class!

While Li Manshu was lost in her wild thoughts, the elevator arrived.

The scene before her eyes was indeed just like what she had seen in the video. However, the video had reduced the sense of space. In reality, the corridor from the elevator to the door was very spacious, about forty to fifty square meters, almost the same as the total area of the apartment Li Manshu had bought!

Yet here, this was just considered corridor space...

"Miss Meng, does this area here need to be designed?"

In Ai Yongyi's view, this area represented money since the one elevator per unit meant the corridor space was private.

"Sure!"

Meng Yuyu nodded; she had been contemplating how to decorate the space leading from the elevator, as it seemed quite empty otherwise.

"All right."

Ai Yongyi nodded and then said to Li Manshu beside her, "Don't forget to include this area when we do the measurements later."

"Mhm, mhm."

Back to her senses, Li Manshu quickly agreed.

As they were talking, the four of them had already arrived in front of the door. Since Yang Hao had recorded Meng Yuyu's face and fingerprints the night before, she simply scanned her face and the door opened.

Even though she had visited several times before, this time Meng Chacha's mood was different. She had her plastic best friend Yu Lili with her, as well as two strangers.

This time, her identity was the "lady of the house"!

The sense of superiority of being an owner at Star Cloud Bay arose spontaneously.

After seeing the interior, Li Manshu became even more certain that this was the apartment she stumbled upon on Kuaiyin!

Watching a video and seeing the real thing, however, were two completely different experiences. Only standing in the apartment could she really feel how big it was.

Yu Lili walked eagerly to the middle of the living room, looked around, then sighed, "Indeed, poverty limits my imagination!!"

And as Li Manshu looked at what she considered her dream home, her heart was filled with nothing but envy.

She suddenly remembered how her ex-husband Yang Hao, after opening his fifth hotpot restaurant, had boastfully said he would buy an apartment at Star Cloud Bay someday.

She too had dreamed along at that time...

Looking back now, it seems ridiculous. How could owning a few hotpot restaurants possibly afford an apartment in Star Cloud Bay!

"Miss Meng, I stumbled upon a house-moving vlog on Kuaiyin, was it shot by you?"

Li Manshu approached Meng Yuyu and started a conversation.

"Ah?"

"You saw that video, huh!"

Meng Yuyu looked at the design assistant she had just met, surprised that she recognized the house from that video.

"You know, being in design, I pay special attention to houses." Li Manshu made up an excuse. She stumbled upon it mainly because she had been looking at houses for a while.

She could recognize it because of her aspiration for luxury homes; she had watched that house-moving vlog no less than ten times. Whenever she was feeling down, she would pull it up to watch again, and then cheer herself up, thinking that as long as she worked hard and found the right person, maybe one day she could also live in such a mansion.

"The video was just for fun. Actually, the main point was to document the weight-loss process. I didn't expect it to become so popular!"

Meng Yuyu replied with a chuckle.

"Miss Meng is really lucky!"

"To have such a husband..."

Li Manshu sighed with envy in her eyes, even though Ai Yongyi had analyzed that Miss Meng was likely not the main wife.

But driving a Mercedes, living in such a mansion, does it matter if you're the main wife or not??

If it were Li Manshu, she would be willing!

The only fear is that the rich man might not want somebody past their prime!

I shouldn't think so lowly of myself, I'm only 28!

Still young!!

Li Manshu quickly encouraged herself in her mind.

Meng Yuyu then led Ai Yongyi and Li Manshu on a detailed tour of each room.

"Miss Meng, is the second bedroom going to be a princess room?"

Coming to the second bedroom, Ai Yongyi asked.

Because this bedroom already had a pink princess bed set up, with even the mattress packaging featuring cartoon characters.

"Yes!"

"This room is the princess room!" Meng Yuyu nodded repeatedly, and then exhorted, "Director Ai, you'll have to put extra effort into this room."

"Not just this room, I'll put my full effort into the entire design!"

Ai Yongyi smiled, speaking in an impeccable manner.

"Does Miss Meng already have children?"

"I can't tell at all!" Li Manshu said quite surprised.

"Oh, a five-year-old daughter!"

Meng Yuyu replied without hesitation, as she obviously couldn't tell others that she actually wanted to become the little girl's step-mother!

Anyway, it was all the same to two strangers; it didn't matter how she said it.

Li Manshu's heart stirred slightly, and she suddenly thought of Xixi, but she never mentioned to outsiders that she had a child. If anyone asked, she would say she was briefly married without children.

After all, women who have had children are even less desirable. She couldn't let the outside world know she had had a child, otherwise how could she go fishing!

"Miss Meng has maintained her figure really well!"

Ai Yongyi commented with feeling. In reality, she had already seen through everything. If nothing unexpected happened, this Miss Meng was a "step-mother," and maybe not even one who had secured her position yet.

"Manshu, let's get to work."

"We need to measure the bay windows of the master bedroom and the princess room with a tape measure, the measurements from the instruments may not be accurate."

After a rough tour of the entire house, Ai Yongyi called Li Manshu to officially start work.

Nowadays, designers no longer need to measure distances incrementally with tape measures as there are professional instruments that provide more accurate data.

However, manual measurements were still needed for the edges and corners to prevent deviations, like the two bay windows Ai Yongyi mentioned since they were 270-degree circular designs, which were more complex.

Next, the two of them began setting up instruments and recording various data.

Meng Yuyu did not disturb their work, instead going to chat with Yu Lili, who was touring around the house and taking pictures.

"Yuyu, now I finally understand why you're so devoted to Yang!"

"Indeed, effort pays off!"

Yu Lili said earnestly, as she previously thought her plastic BFF was too humble.

What man is worth such fawning over!

Now she understood.

If a man bought her a Mercedes worth half a million and let her live in such a mansion, not to mention fawning over him, she would do anything!

The main selling point was its variety!

It offered a feeling of being at home!

"Yuyu, is the bed and mattress you mentioned that cost over two million in this house now?" Yu Lili asked again.

"Yes!"

Meng Yuyu nodded.

"It doesn't seem anything special, why is it so expensive?"

The two were standing by the bay window of the master bedroom, where Yu Lili had just taken selfies—it offered a great view of the river.

While speaking, she walked over to the big bed in the master bedroom and pressed down on the mattress with her hand.

"Hey, this mattress has a great rebound and feels super comfortable!"

Upon touching it, Yu Lili immediately felt the distinct quality of the mattress.

"This mattress is worth a Mercedes by itself, of course it's comfortable..." Meng Yuyu shrugged lightly.

"Rich people really don't take money seriously at all!!" Yu Lili exclaimed again as she pressed down on the mattress, then suddenly she said, "Eww, this mattress is a bit dirty, looks like it got smeared with something?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuyu's face stiffened, and she immediately thought of last night's event.

It was on this bed that she gave herself away!

But the mattress hadn't been unwrapped; it was protected by a plastic film, so she had wiped it clean after last night's activities.

Now, she realized she might not have wiped it thoroughly in her rush last night.

"During shipping, the mattress could have accidentally picked up something. No worries, the protective film hasn't been removed yet!"

"Let's go, let's take pictures on the balcony!"

Meng Yuyu forcibly took Yu Lili away from the master bedroom to avoid her plastic BFF from discovering the truth.

Although such things were not a big deal, they were still somewhat embarrassing.

"I still wanted to try out that mattress!"

"A mattress worth tens of thousands, and you could buy an apartment in a more remote location for that price!" Yu Lili still seemed reluctant to leave.

"Yang hasn't tried it yet, would you feel comfortable?"

Although Meng Yuyu found an excuse, she was also reminding Yu Lili that one should have a sense of propriety.

Visiting someone else's house meant looking around and maybe sitting on the couch at most. Would you actually roll around on their bed?

Wouldn't they find you dirty!

On the other hand.

Ai Yongyi, the gossip-loving designer, was gossiping with Li Manshu again. She lowered her voice and asked, "Manshu, do you believe Miss Meng has had a child?"

"You mean, she is actually a step-mother?"

Li Manshu had thought of that too, since Meng Yuyu looked only in her early twenties, at most not over twenty-five years old.

It was unlikely for her to have a five-year-old child at her age, since people tend to marry later now.

"If nothing unexpected, she's a little step-mother looking to move up. Didn't you hear her especially mentioning she wanted to put extra effort into the princess room? She's trying to win over someone's daughter," Ai Yongyi analyzed quietly.

"Now that you mention it, Aimee, it does seem like that!"

"Sigh, today's young ladies are so realistic; they're willing to be a step-mother at a young age just for money!" Li Manshu said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ai Yongyi chuckled. She looked at Li Manshu teasingly and said, "Manshu, you're quite beautiful, too. If the owner of this house pursued you actively, would you agree?"

"Me?"

Li Manshu was slightly taken aback, and then she remembered sending private messages and photos to Yang.

So, did the answer even need to be asked!

However, while facing her boss, she could not possibly tell the truth. She gently shook her head, "That would depend on whether there's chemistry!"
