80 million yuan...
It was a huge amount of money. Approximately, it was around 12 million dollars in US currency. Such a huge amount of money, not even those who were renowned for being big spenders and wastels could afford it.
However, Ran Xueyi was different from them.
"Alright..." Ran Xueyi loved the place already. "When can we sign the transfer papers?"
Liu Ran clapped his hand in joy. He was getting 12 million from that 80 million.
He pulled another batch of papers from his briefcase and smugly said, "Who do you think I am? I am the greatest real estate agent in the country. The price of that house was originally around 150 million yuan but the owner of the estate was someone I knew so I negotiated with them and told them to lessen the price. Now, it's priced at 80 million yuan."
His face beamed in smug and looked like he was waiting for someone to praise him.
Ran Xueyi laughed and said, "Alright, you're the best."
"Hmph!" Liu Ran became even more arrogant before getting back to business. "Since I knew that you had the money, I already asked the owner to get the transfer papers. You can write your signature and name at the bottom of the paper under the name of the buyer. Of course, you need to pay first for it."
"I'll talk to my bank first and see if they can release 80 million yuan." Ran Xueyi told him and called her bank. After getting the call connected, she talked to the other side before her face turned a bit darker.
Seeing her frown and exude such a dangerous aura, Liu Ran sensed that something must have happened.
After hanging up, Ran Xueyi thinned her lips in irritation.
Liu Ran: "What happened? They can't release your money?"
Ran Xueyi shook her head. "Yes, they said they can't release it... They also said that my mother froze my account."
"What?!"
"It seems that Yang Baihua already told my mother about what I told him earlier. They might be thinking that I would be scared once they freeze my bank account."
"But isn't that your money from working as an actress?!!" Liu Ran was so angry that he wanted to pull his hair.
Ran Xueyi worked so hard as an actress and even got the best actress award countless times and even named as the best actress of the century. She should at least have a few hundred million yuan in her bank account.
"How did they freeze your account? What kind of bank is that?"
Ran Xueyi sighed and could only blame herself. "Five years ago, I linked my bank account to the Ran family's bank account. Although they can't touch my money in my account... They also can freeze it temporarily."
"Then..." Liu Ran trailed.
Ran Xueyi completed his words, "Then, I can't use my money. Now, I'm penniless aside from the money inside my wallet."
There was at least ten thousand yuan in her wallet. But it was unknown when her family would unfreeze her account. It should be around when she looked for Yang Baihua again and took back her words, and begged him for forgiveness.
However, why would Ran Xueyi do that? Just because she had no money now, would she sacrifice her dignity and pride as a woman and a human? She'd rather die than be treated like an animal who was exploited again and again.
But where would she get the money now? She already sold her apartment and going back to her family's house was not something she'd do again.
"Girlie... are you in trouble?" Liu Ran was worried about her. "Why don't you live in one of my apartment for now? We've known each other for a long time, the least I could do is to help you find a place to stay."
Ran Xueyi wanted to accept his offer. Liu Ran could be considered as someone she trusted and her best friend. He was not included in her circle since he didn't come from a big family. He worked a lot harder than anyone to get to where he was now.
Just when Ran Xueyi was about to nod and accept his offer, her phone suddenly chimed.
[YH: Are you busy now?]
Another text from her new husband came through.
[YH: There's a new restaurant that my friend just opened. Let's go there for dinner."
"Who is it? Is it that scumbag or your mother?" Liu Ran couldn't see who sent her the message and just guessed around.
Ran Xueyi smiled when she saw the messages and sent a reply to him.
[Snowrabbit: I want some big shrimp and steak.]
Ran Xueyi loved eating all seafood dishes and also beef.
[YH: Okay.]
After receiving his reply, Ran Xueyi's chest was filled with sweetness. Even though they were just talking about what they will eat and when they will meet, it was much better than the monotonous and unemotional messages she and Yang Baihua shared with each other which felt like she was talking to a computer.
"Why are you grinning like that?" Liu Ran stared at her in shock. This woman was just cheated on and lied to by her fiance and family. Yet, here she was smiling as if nothing happened to her.
"Like what?" Ran Xueyi had no idea how she looked right now.
Liu Ran rolled his eyes at her and said, "Like someone who hit the jackpot or a stalker who found out where his target is living."
Ran Xueyi was shocked. Is that how she looked right now?
However, instead of erasing the look on her face, Ran Xueyi grinned even more. After all, she really did hit the jackpot.
Just then, her gaze landed on the house at the Empire House Estate.
An idea formed inside her head and she called Song Yu Han directly.
When the call connected and she heard him hum a response, she coquettishly said to him, "Hubby... do you have 80 million yuan right now?"
