I couldn't afford to buy a diamond ring for Xiao Xiao, but I could take back the house and give it to her instead.
"No way!" Li Man quickly objected. "I want the house to be transferred to our daughter's name."
"Don't be ridiculous! Duo Duo is still young. Why would we transfer the house to her?"
"If not to Duo Duo, then who would you give the house to?" Li Man retorted. "I have a share in that house too. It was something I fought to get back. If it's not transferred to Duo Duo, then transfer it to my name!"
"You're dreaming! Don't even think about that house. You think you can have any part of it?"
"Why not? We're married, and I'm entitled to half of that house too!"
Huang De Han sneered, "Didn't I warn you to stay out of my affairs? If you still want to stay in this house, don't expect to get anything. I can let you live here, or else you can pack up and leave!"
"Huang De Han, don't forget, I have evidence of your infidelity and evidence of you abusing me. Tell me, if I take these things to court for a divorce, will the court award me the house?"
Huang De Han didn't expect Li Man to be so cunning and resourceful. He thought Li Man would never divorce him, so he wanted to use Li Man to get back the things he bought for his mistress.
Suddenly, he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
Oh, how he regretted it!
"Now you only have two choices: either transfer the house to our daughter's name, or I'll sue for a divorce. You decide," Li Man said.
Huang De Han was irritated and ultimately compromised, agreeing to transfer the house to their daughter's name.
He didn't want to divorce Li Man at the moment, mainly because he was unwilling to let Li Man take away his assets.
As he looked into Li Man's eyes, a hint of murderous intent suddenly arose. It seemed she couldn't stay either.
...
Ten days later.
The deadline set by the court arrived, and Li Man urged the mistress to go with her to complete the transfer and asked her to move out of the house.
The mistress called Huang De Han in tears, and Huang De Han told her to do as Li Man said, promising to buy her an even bigger house in the future.
But the mistress knew deep down that Huang De Han was just trying to appease her. He would never actually buy her a house.
Because now, she couldn't feel an ounce of love from Huang De Han.
When a man no longer loves you, there are signs. For example, he no longer calls you first or actively seeks you out. He can't follow through on the things he promised you. He sees your missed calls but doesn't call you back. He becomes increasingly distant and impatient with you. The frequency of intimacy decreases, or even disappears altogether.
The mistress sadly realized that since they found out about her infection with a sexually transmitted disease, they hadn't been intimate.
Even though she had recovered now, Huang De Han never cared about her health or expressed any desire for intimacy.
This was something that had never happened before.
Before, the mistress thought that piece of paper didn't matter as long as the man loved her. But now, she understood the importance of that piece of paper.
Just like now, without that piece of paper, Huang De Han no longer loves her, and she has no legal protection if she wants to retrieve the things he gave her.
Li Man has that piece of paper, so even if Huang De Han no longer loves her, she can fight for her own interests and be protected by the law.
That's the difference between having that piece of paper and not having it.
So women, do you still think that piece of paper is not important?
Any man who tells you that piece of paper is not important is not sincere to you. You'd better leave him early!
Back to the story.
San Er spent half a day packing all her clothes and then went with Li Man to the housing management bureau to transfer the house to Li Man's daughter, Huang Duo Duo.
She had nowhere to go, so she had to temporarily stay in a hotel.
