Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

She remembered that Yang Kang lived in a small house which his parents had bought before they ran into trouble.

So many years had passed, and only this house hadn't been sold yet.

Yao Anni searched through her phone contacts for quite a while and, after confirming she didn't have his information, finally located Yang Kang's specific address through several classmates.

Without any hesitation, she drove over that same evening.

Yang Kang's wife was annoyed, busy with her live streaming at home.

Upon hearing someone knocking at the door, she still reassured her online "big brothers" a few words before going to open the door.

Yao Anni was quite sociable, after all, she was a businesswoman, and her interpersonal skills were significantly stronger than the average person's by far.

She bought two large durians from downstairs to bring up, along with quite a few imported fruits.

All in all, she spent fifteen hundred.

"Who are you?"

"You must be the sister-in-law, right? I'm Yang Kang's classmate, we've met before."

Yang Kang's wife, Zhang Cuicui, had some recollection, but they were not very acquainted.

However, seeing her bringing in so many gifts, a smile bloomed across her face.

Once inside, Yao Anni still took a moment to look around the house, a two-bedroom apartment in the main urban area of Hangzhou.

The decoration was average, but it was a good thing they had bought it early, otherwise they could never afford to live in such a location.

Zhang Cuicui had married Yang Kang back then because his family was well-off, but who knew that within a couple of years, they would go bankrupt.

It's common knowledge for married couples, when there's money, it's all good, but when there's no money, if you end up with a materialistic wife, life simply becomes chaotic.

Yang Kang's situation was exactly like that now.

He was still out driving for Didi and hadn't come back, and when Zhang Cuicui asked Yao Anni what she was there for, Yao Anni only mentioned that she had some business with Yang Kang.

By the time Yang Kang returned, it was already eleven at night.

Zhang Cuicui said disapprovingly, "How come you're back so early again? Your classmate is here looking for you."

Yao Anni stood up.

That's just the way it is with men, no matter how hard you work outside, if you make too little money, a materialistic wife won't have a shred of pity.

She'd only have a face full of contempt.

"CEO Yao, why are you here?"

Yang Kang was somewhat surprised; although he no longer took the initiative to contact his classmates, he was still aware of those who were doing well.

"I went to Magic City for a class reunion today, you should know about it, right?"

"I know, heard a bit about it."

"Then do you still remember Chen Pingsheng?"

"Him?" Yang Kang felt a bit disheartened, "What does it matter if I remember or don't remember?"

"It seems you've also heard about his situation from your classmates. I'm curious, why haven't you gone to see him?"

Yao Anni asked directly.

Yang Kang gave a bitter smile, "What do I have to see him with? Relying on a twenty-year-old classmateship?"

"He asked about you today, you know what I mean?"

"Are you suggesting he remembers how I used to hang around behind him?"

After listening to a few exchanges, Zhang Cuicui impatiently asked, "All this talk about Chen Pingsheng, who is he exactly?"

"Just a brother from back in the day."

Yang Kang countered her, "It's so late, are you still going to meet those 'big brothers' from your livestream?"

"If I don't see them, would they generously tip me?"

Zhang Cuihui said disdainfully, "Don't look at me like that. Your daughter's tuition fees cost seventy to eighty thousand a year, we'd starve to death on just your income."

"So you can stay out all night without coming home?"

"Isn't that because you drove me to it,"

Zhang Cuicui said disdainfully, "Don't tell me about your classmate who couldn't even make a hundred thousand a year, what's the difference between him and trash."

Perhaps Yang Kang had grown accustomed to it, his hand clenched for a while, then released.

Zhang Cuicui dressed herself up and left the house.

She didn't worry at all about what her man would do at home, just a Didi driver, who would fancy him?

It was her own blind choice at first, and if it weren't for the house he had, she would have divorced him a long time ago.

Thinking you can get big brother to give gifts in a live stream just by calling him 'brother' a few times?

You have to open your doors behind the scenes.

Otherwise, who would keep giving you gifts?

Of course, fools are excluded.

Yang Kang knew very well, his wife earned much more than he did.

She definitely made over two hundred thousand a year, but how she got that money...

He could only turn a blind eye.

At night, he would even cry over it.

In front of his daughter, he was even more embarrassed to mention it, and could only speak well of her mother.

Yao Anni knew what kind of person she was, she understood instantly; she asked in surprise, "You don't care about her doing this?"

"What can I do, if it really comes to divorce, the only one hurt will be my daughter."

Yao Anni was left speechless, a man brought to this point, there was nothing more to say.

"Chen Pingsheng asked about you twice today at the reunion, and he specifically asked me to keep an eye out for news about you, with his current social status, I don't believe you haven't heard of him."

"How could I have not heard of him."

Yang Kang said helplessly, "The stores downstairs are his, fresh food, milk tea, coffee, snacks, I still can't believe this is what my brother has achieved."

"Then why don't you go find him, I want the truth!"

Yao Anni asked, staring into his eyes.

"You think I haven't thought about it? I went downstairs and then came back up, that's all."

Yang Kang said, "Right after he went to Magic City, his family's ads were everywhere, my daughter even pestered me to go to the concert hosted by their company. Later, I lingered downstairs for three days, gathering the courage to go up, then I ran into another classmate who had just come down from the top floor, holding a hundred thousand in cash."

"You know, his mother was severely ill, and he went to see Old Chen. He didn't even get to see him, only met his secretary who looked like a Heavenly Immortal. When she heard he was the boss's middle school classmate, she didn't say a word, just took out a hundred thousand from the drawer and told him the boss wasn't in."

Yang Kang shook his head with a wry smile, "I thought about it for a long time. If I went up, maybe I could get a hundred thousand too. Whether to take this easy money or not, I hesitated for three days. I don't know when it happened, but I've become like this."

Yao Anni understood him quite well; if he were still the rich second generation with family support,

He would have gone straight up.

Now, a man poor in resources thinks not of brotherhood before going up,

But simply about getting a hundred thousand yuan.

This temptation is something most people simply cannot refuse. Find adventures at empire

Yang Kang blocked most of his classmates, perhaps to maintain this last bit of dignity.

Once brothers, go up and get a hundred thousand.

To go or not to go, that truly is a question.

Seeing your own brother do so well, that kind of feeling, perhaps only those who have been through it understand.

And then, there's the wife behaving like that.

Yao Anni didn't even know if she should feel sympathy or not.
