Chen Lin didn't get the money, but he got a living hell instead.
He heard from his Second Brother that Jia Xiufang had become rich, not knowing who she was involved with specifically, just that she was very successful now and had contracted the recycling of building materials in a demolition project. It was said she made a fortune from it.
Xiaoqian didn't allow Jia Xiufang to get close to the previous relatives, so Second Uncle also didn't know who Jia Xiufang had connections with, just that she had money now.
Chen Lin had been down on his luck ever since the divorce. His mistress left, the house was taken over by Xiaoqian and given to Jia Xiufang. Having been idle his whole life, he suddenly was left with nothing and unwilling to find a stable job to support himself.
