Chapter 630 - 194: Listen to Your Bro
He Kang’s mother isn’t anything short of trouble; she’s tough and arrogant.
The fascination during tough years disappeared without a trace once He Kang’s father gradually turned into a greasy middle-aged man.
He Kang’s mother also plays around outside; their marriage has been dead in name for years.
He Kang’s father thinks the woman at home is just a proud and domineering yellow-faced woman lacking any gentleness.
He Kang’s mother thinks her husband is just a greasy man mooching off her family.
They’re sick of each other.
But He Kang’s mother’s family doesn’t have many people, and she herself lacks any business acumen. Her favorite activities are playing mahjong and going to beauty salons; she can’t even comprehend a financial statement, let alone run a factory.
All these years, the family’s business has been managed by her husband; if they were to divorce, a huge enterprise would be left without a leader.
Their interests are intertwined, so neither thought of divorcing; they just make do.
However, He Kang’s mother’s family isn’t stupid; when they married long ago, they set up a firewall to prevent the cuckoo from occupying the magpie’s nest.
The factory’s finances are managed by He Kang’s mother’s relatives, and she holds the majority of the factory’s shares — to prevent her son-in-law from hollowing out the family assets after gaining power.
The family’s real estate and vehicles are mostly in He Kang’s mother’s name.

"Why do you want to go after He Kang’s parents?" Zhao Shanhe blinked at Chen Yan, "Isn’t this kind of... kind of... kind of..."
"A bit too much? Family shouldn’t be involved in conflicts?" Chen Yan laughed, "His parents have been going their separate ways for a long time; it can’t be considered ruining their relationship. Besides, my friend knows the limits and boundaries in what he does."
After pausing, he looked at Zhao Shanhe, "There’s no point in dealing with He Kang—he’s just a minor rich kid who can show off outside and throw money at people, all thanks to the money given by his family. So, no need to target He Kang directly; just create chaos in his family, and naturally, the money in his pocket will run dry.
Once he has no money, you can see clearly if your naive and stubborn junior is as pure as you thought."

Chen Yan understood this aspect very clearly.
In today’s society, high-end gold diggers don’t bother with the likes of He Kang, these minor rich kids.
Because the benefits are minimal.
You go through the trouble of seducing a minor rich kid, but how much money you can extract from him doesn’t depend on your charm or the brilliance of your tactics.
It depends on how much allowance his parents give him.
The upper limit is there, with damage capped.
No matter how skilled you are, no matter how captivating a demon, no matter how alluring your looks—his parents will only give him so much allowance; you can’t extract more.

Seven days!
Chen Yan asked Zhao Shanhe to be patient and wait for seven days.
He spoke harshly to Zhao Shanhe!
"Don’t be afraid to wait, don’t fear that your junior might be deceived into losing herself... there’s no need to rush about this, based on my judgment, your junior has rolled in the sheets with someone long ago."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhe’s face turned pale.
Chen Yan didn’t ignore his only good friend throughout college.
He pulled him to the boss’s cybercafe, and they played video games solidly for several days, losing track of time.
Since Zhao Shanhe was about to graduate, having passed his thesis defense, now it was intern time; anyway, he casually found a company to hang his internship under—to help a friend by the graduation time, have the friend’s company issue an internship certificate for going through graduation procedures.
During those seven days, Chen Yan accompanied Zhao Shanhe in playing games at the cybercafe. Occasionally, they’d stroll out for barbecue or a drink.
Every day, Zhao Shanhe couldn’t help but send his junior messages, but her replies were very cold.
It was ten sentences, eight sentences from Zhao Shanhe, a reply of three to five words from her.
Or she’d say, "Senior, I’m going to the library to study," or "Senior, I’m going to sleep."
There were unexpected events.
One night, Chen Yan dragged Zhao Shanhe out front of the cybercafe to eat barbecue. Passing by a hot pot restaurant, they saw He Kang with that junior and several classmates drinking and eating heavily.
Through the window, Zhao Shanhe’s eyes almost popped out; it was Chen Yan who forcefully dragged him away.
Walking less than fifty meters, Zhao Shanhe still couldn’t resist sending the junior a flurry of messages, including persuading, restraining, questioning, and more...
And she replied, "Senior, I didn’t expect you to be like this."
At the time, Chen Yan watched Zhao Shanhe’s eyes redden, and secretly he was laughing inside.
The junior, Chen Yan also looked her over from outside the hot pot restaurant.
Her looks were indeed nice, with delicate features and a pitiable temperament, resembling a little white flower.
Anyway, she was quite the ingenue.
On the seventh day, Chen Yan received a WeChat message from Wang Chao.
"Things are going smoothly, a staged victory, I’ll withdraw first. Contact me if you need anything."
And from that day, He Kang disappeared from school for two days, reportedly because something happened at home, and he took leave.
On the ninth day, Chen Yan got the news.
He Kang’s parents were in a divorce war.
The ’Phoenix man’ with remarkable tactics and the middle-aged wealthy woman with strong arms.
About to have a major lawsuit battle over the divorce property division!
As a result, both parties carried out property preservation.
To lay terms simply: Properties temporarily frozen.
