Chapter 2723: Make Do

After a pause, Lin Baiwei continued, "My first half of life was all about study and work. I used to think that Zhao Wenshan and I were in love, but now I understand that we were just getting along. We met the wrong person at the wrong time. He just happened to appear at that time because I wanted to get married."

"So our lives were more ordinary than boiled water. Even if he didn't hand over his salary, I didn't care, because I never treated him as my own. In fact... I have always deceived him."

Lin Baiwei sighed and confided her heart to Ye Qingqing.

She has been depressed for most of her life, always living in a proper manner, and has never done anything out of the ordinary, not even half a thing.

On the surface, she has a successful career. Although her family is not happy, it is not a big problem. There are many divorced women now. She has a house, a car, a son, a decent job, a lot of savings, and a completely free financial personality. Of course, she is not young anymore. In the eyes of others, she can be called an aunt at this age. Some people who got married early can even be grandmothers.

Only innocent girls would pursue a luxury like love. Women of her age should pursue fame and fortune and stop dreaming unrealistic dreams.

Lin Baiwei knew that this was the right way to live as a middle-aged woman, but she was still aggrieved and unwilling to accept it.

Why should she welcome old age before she has been well pampered by a man?

She is not old yet, she can still love, so she is crazy again at the end of her youth, even if it is fake, she wants to deceive herself once.

But she looked at William's blue eyes, she believed that this man did not lie, not to mention what was there to deceive about her?

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I am very sober and rational now. You are just worried that I will lose both my money and my man. But as a middle-aged woman, it is my honor to be cheated. As for money, you don't know yet, William is richer than me."

Last night, she was entangled with William in his apartment. The apartment is in a high-end living community, about 100 square meters, which is a luxury house here. It is decorated very tastefully, which is the style that Lin Baiwei likes.

"William is very good at investing. He has shops and properties in Shenzhen. He has two sets in HK, one for his own use and one for rent. He also has five gyms under his name, all in the inland, so what's the point of him cheating me, an old woman who is poorer than him." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Ye Qingqing blinked. Is being a gigolo so profitable?

According to this calculation, William has at least hundreds of millions of assets.

The two houses in HK alone are incredible. The current housing prices in Shenzhen are not outrageous, but in a few years they will be comparable to Pingjiang and Kyoto, which are terrifyingly expensive.

"How do you know so clearly? Did he tell me?" Ye Qingqing was very curious.

Lin Baiwei laughed, "Of course not. You refused to tell me his address, so I found a private detective to check it. The private detectives here are very powerful. They found it in a few days and also found out his family background. I was also surprised. He is so rich, why would he do that?"

"Yes, why?"

Ye Qingqing was even more curious. With hundreds of millions of assets, he would not take orders just because of interest, right?

Lin Baiwei blushed and whispered, "I asked him last night, and he said that he stopped taking orders five years ago. He just had tea and chatted with some old customers. He took my order because he was curious about the female postdoctoral fellow. He didn't plan to do anything, but I happened to be someone he liked... so he just let it go..."
