AMTBYIGA Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Life? No, Survival

Chapter 8: Life? No, Survival

Lin Sui got into the taxi with a heavy heart, leaned against the door with a sigh, and waited for the car to start with melancholy, completely oblivious to the surprised look the driver gave Gu Nian when he stated the address.

After a long while, and after confirming the address multiple times, the taxi driver started the engine, his eyes still dazed.

Gu Nian remained calm, his peripheral vision observing Lin Sui’s back, as if testing something.

Lin Sui was completely unaware of all this. He was currently wondering if he should get a driver’s license and save up to buy a used car.

He couldn’t just take a taxi every time he went out… Taxis were quite expensive, costing several tens of yuan each time. His family didn’t have anyone earning money, so he had to be frugal.

After his melancholy, Lin Sui took out his mobile phone and seriously started researching which car was the cheapest.

Gu Nian, who inadvertently saw the phone screen, was silent for a moment and began to doubt their current residence for the first time.

Had the villas in the city center become so worthless that Lin Sui thought they were poor?

The taxi drove smoothly, and after a dozen minutes, Lin Sui stood beneath the magnificent villas, his small mouth gradually widening into an “O” shape.

A real-life rendition of being too shocked to close one’s mouth.

Gu Nian operated his wheelchair skillfully, moving forward. After a brief pause, he turned his head and said coldly, “Keep up.”

Only then did Lin Sui snap back to reality from his realization that “Gu Nian seems to be very rich,” and he scurried forward on unsteady feet to hold onto the wheelchair. As he walked, his amber eyes darted around, looking at this and that, his eyes filled with novelty.

In his previous life, his family was considered wealthy, but not to the extent of being able to buy a villa in the city center of a first-tier city. Now that he had transmigrated into a book and suddenly become rich, Lin Sui felt somewhat lightheaded.

By the time he saw Gu Nian enter the largest villa, Lin Sui had accepted it well. Looking at the spacious courtyard, he took a deep breath, feeling as though he could smell the scent of money.

After entering the living room, Gu Nian went straight to the elevator and headed to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Lin Sui sat alone on the large sofa in the living room on the first floor, his mind, once muddled by money, gradually cleared as he recalled the plot of the book.

In the book, not long after Gu Nian’s legs became disabled, the only person who cared for him, Grandpa Gu, also passed away due to illness. Gu Nian’s father disliked this son very much, and as soon as Gu Nian had an accident, he immediately joined forces with the shareholders to kick Gu Nian out of the company, and even openly arranged for his illegitimate son to become a senior executive in the company, deliberately annoying Gu Nian.

In the end, all that Gu Nian had left was this large house that Grandpa Gu had transferred to him early on, and two ten-carat diamond rings.

The novel started from when Gu Nian met the protagonist Shou. At that time, Gu Nian was already accumulating power and secretly laying ambushes. Lin Sui wasn’t really sure if Gu Nian had any money before that.

Lin Sui was always accustomed to considering the worst-case scenario. His expression became serious, and he got up to thoroughly explore the large villa, up and down, left and right. His expression gradually stiffened, and finally turned into dejection.

How much would the property management fees be for such a big house!

Lin Sui counted on his fingers, almost afraid to calculate. The Lin family had cut off all his financial support long before they packed him up and sent him to the wedding. He didn’t have a single penny in his pocket right now.

Not to mention that this place looked expensive. Maybe a head of Bok Choy would cost dozens of yuan.

Feeling like he was about to starve to death, Lin Sui touched his stomach and, with the last bit of hope, opened the double-door refrigerator in the kitchen. Such a big refrigerator must be filled with food. If he saved a little, he should be able to last a few more days…

Yeah, right.

Lin Sui stared blankly at the package of bread, the carton of eggs, the small bunch of wilted greens, and the handful of noodles in the refrigerator, then slowly squatted down, hugging his head in despair.

Lin Sui felt that he had been too naive at the beginning.

He actually thought he could survive until the divorce.

He silently changed his goal from a safe divorce to just staying alive.

Come on, Lin Sui, you definitely won’t starve to death.
