Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 525 - 482: The Money Is Gone... (32/51)

Of course, if on the other hand, the money was borrowed after their argument, it doesn’t really matter if it’s been a month or not; it’s still a very bad thing.

For now, let’s not put this situation onto the two of them, because whether it’s Lin Yi or Li Huiqun, upon discovering this, they definitely wouldn’t interact with the other again, let alone make any one-month agreement.

So let’s just look at this from Li Wentao’s perspective. If this happened within the month, then it might be acceptable to choose to accept it, as long as she returns the money and truly cuts off contact with the other person.

Of course, Lin Yi actually has his own thoughts about this.

Although she said she wouldn’t have any contact with the other person after a month, it’s clearly not a realistic thing.

At the very least, he doesn’t believe they can completely cut off any contact between them.

After all, how can a piece of meat watched by a wolf be easily discarded?

And Li Wentao did indeed give this response:

"If she had lent the money before, I wouldn’t be so angry. The problem is that this money was lent out recently, and it’s almost three months since we argued."

Hearing this, Li Huiqun simply shook his head. For a woman so incorrigible, what else is there to say?

If this happened to him, even if he had accepted her before, even if he had forgiven her before, he would absolutely not forgive her now, he would just kick her out.

Of course, it’s easy for him to say this because he’s not involved in the situation.

Perhaps, if he were the one experiencing it, he wouldn’t think like this so easily.

After all, the phrase "hard to break emotional ties" has been around for ages.

There’s an endless number of people who have been troubled by emotions throughout history.

"Haha, actually, since we argued that time, she really hasn’t received a call from any man in front of me.

Even if sometimes her phone rings, she’d hang up on it.

Of course, I also know it might just be that male best friend calling.

But out of trust for her promise, I didn’t say anything, because I promised that I’d walk the road I chose to the end, even if in tears.

I was just comforting myself, thinking that as long as they completely cut off contact after a month, we could return to the way we were.

And in the days that followed, I wasn’t too disappointed, as they really didn’t meet again.

I also returned to how I was, holding onto my dreams for our future, holding onto my trust in her, I kept depositing the living expenses I saved each month into that account.

Moreover, every Saturday and Sunday, I still went out to look for some part-time jobs, passing out flyers or something to earn some pocket money to save in there."

"Then, time just passed bit by bit like that, and in the blink of an eye, almost three months had gone by.

That day, I happened to deposit the remaining money of the month as usual.

However, when I went to the bank to deposit, I asked the counter a question.

I asked how much money is in this account now.

According to my estimate, even if not counting the 350 bucks I deposited this time, it should definitely exceed 15,000 dollars."

At this point, Li Wentao couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile again.

He also picked up his glass, took another sip, and then looked somewhat self-mockingly at the two, asked in a tone that pretended to be relaxed:

"What do you guys guess? How much do you think is left in the account?"

Li Huiqun rolled his eyes with annoyance:

"Nonsense, you already said it before, all the money had been lent out, there’s nothing left in there, is there?"

Hearing this, Li Wentao suddenly laughed:

"Haha, you’re wrong there. Who said there’s nothing left? There’s still this amount left for me."

As he spoke, Li Wentao directly raised three fingers to signal to the two.

And Lin Yi also spoke with a bitter smile at this time:

"Haha, at least she left you three cents, not bad."

Who knew when these words were said, Li Wentao shook his head, letting out a faint remark:

"Not three cents, a total of three pennies."

As soon as these words were said, the three of them immediately fell into silence.

My goodness, this really is quite ruthless, leaving only three pennies!

Perhaps the bank couldn’t provide the change beyond two decimal places? Otherwise, they wouldn’t even doubt that she’d take that three cents too.

"Do you know how I reacted when I learned about this number? I was completely stunned, utterly bewildered.

Three pennies, I asked them to check it several times, and they told me there were only three pennies.

Then I asked them to pull up the transaction details.

Since the bank account was opened in my name, it was very easy for me to get the details.

Looking at the statement, just a month ago, right after I deposited the money last time, the 17,532.53 dollars were all withdrawn in one go..."

At this point, he couldn’t help but laugh:

"Haha, looking at that number, I found it somewhat laughable, taking even the fifty cents away.

I believe if the bank could provide three cents in cash, she’d probably take that too."

Hearing this, the other two exchanged a look and then nodded, convinced by this idea.

"Then I called her.

Asked her what on earth was going on?

After all, this bank card was usually in her possession, and I always deposited money without a passbook, only I knew the password and never told her."

This time, Li Huiqun was genuinely puzzled.

Since she didn’t know the password, how did she withdraw the money?

Bank won’t give you the money just with a card.

Seeming to have noticed Li Huiqun’s confusion, Li Wentao immediately explained:

"Haha, the password is her birthday, it’s not surprising she could guess it."

After he explained, the two of them were reassured, no wonder, how’s that different from setting no password?

"Then when I called her, she didn’t tell me she lent the money to that male best friend, but said there was something happening in her family that needed money.

For this, although I was a bit suspicious, I didn’t have much doubt.

After all, who doesn’t have an urgent family matter happening? If her family needed to come up with a sum of money, that makes sense. I was just a bit unhappy that she didn’t tell me."

"Then how did you find out later that she lent the money to her male best friend?"
