After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 1: Monopoly-Game System
Entrance of the Jianghan District Civil Affairs Bureau.
Yang Hao tucked the divorce certificate he had just received into his jacket pocket, then took out his smartphone and opened the Kangaroo Delivery Rider app to go online.
Due to the divorce, he hadn't accepted a single order since this morning.
"Delivering food all the time isn't a long-term solution. You should find a stable job."
"And besides, Xixi is growing up. Having a dad who delivers food will embarrass her."
Li Manshu stood in high-heeled shoes, wore tight jeans, and a khaki-colored Goliya trench coat open to reveal a white knitted sweater underneath. She had a graceful figure that showed no signs of having given birth to a child.
At this moment, she stood atop the steps, while Yang Hao stood below, only able to look up at her.
This was symbolic of their relationship at home before their marriage ended.
"Earning money through honest work, without stealing or robbing, is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Xixi will understand me."
Yang Hao replied lightly.
He didn't hate the woman who had been a part of his life for six years, the one who had borne him a lovely daughter.
He just felt he had been blind, and had misjudged the person.
After all, it was Li Manshu who had pursued him intently in the beginning.
Six years ago, the 29-year-old Yang Hao owned two hot pot restaurants, each covering an area of two hundred square meters.
At that time, the business was booming, and his annual income was six to seven hundred thousand yuan; life was quite comfortable.
It was also that year he met Li Manshu, who worked part-time in his restaurant.
She was young and beautiful, seven years his junior, and she took the initiative to court him.
Yang Hao, of marriageable age, quickly took a liking to this hardworking, sensible, and gentle "little sister."
The two quickly became a couple, and Li Manshu went from being a part-time waitress to the boss of the two hot pot restaurants.
Not long after their marriage, Li Manshu became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter the following year.
At 30, Yang Hao felt like the proverbial winner in life.
With modest success in his career, a beautiful wife, and a newborn little princess.
To provide a better life for his wife and daughter, he began to expand the scale of his hot pot restaurants, and after some time, he finalized three new locations, increasing his business to five restaurants in total.
He became the owner of five hot pot restaurants and dreamt of expanding his business nationwide, aspiring to become a well-known national hot pot chain, much like Haidilao.
However, an unexpected "disaster" changed everything.
Initially, Yang Hao didn't worry too much, thinking it would soon pass, and even enjoyed the time he could spend at home with his wife and daughter.
Yet the disaster was far more severe than he had imagined. He struggled through the first and second years, but ultimately succumbed in the third.
All five hot pot restaurants shut down, his savings drained away, and he was left with a bank loan to pay off.
Then he discovered his once gentle and virtuous wife had changed.
She became harsh and critical.
She became solely profit-driven.
Her love and respect for him had vanished.
She would occasionally mock him with veiled insults.
To survive, Yang Hao started looking for jobs, but with just a bachelor's degree during a time when qualifications seemed devalued, finding work was hard. Fresh graduates struggled to find jobs, not to mention a 35-year-old man like him. Many job advertisements set the cut-off at 35 years old, a barrier he couldn't cross.
To make money, he had no choice but to deliver food.
Li Manshu, a married woman with an exceptional appearance and demeanor, managed to find a decent job.
As a result, there was a dramatic shift in their household status.
A month ago, Li Manshu, as expected, asked for a divorce.
Yesterday marked the end of a one-month cooling-off period, and today she couldn't wait to call Yang Hao to get the divorce certificate!
She perfectly exemplified the saying, "In times of prosperity, friends are plentiful, but in adversity, not even one remains."
It's easy to be with someone in good times, but sharing hardship is much harder.
When you are blessed with a wealth of material goods, 90% or even 99% of women can lead a happy life with you.
But when material wealth is scarce, that percentage drops significantly.
There will always be women willing to share a man's fortunes and misfortunes, but sadly, Li Manshu was not one of them.

This...
The sudden alert in Yang Hao's mind startled him.
The Monopoly-Game?
Is it the one I often play?
Yang Hao hurriedly checked his phone, only to discover that the Monopoly-Game that had always been on his phone had disappeared!
"If you weren't Xixi's father, I wouldn't bother saying another word to you!"
"One more piece of advice, for Xixi's sake, you should find yourself a decent job!"
Di di di...
At that moment, a black BMW parked by the roadside started honking its horn repeatedly.
The driver's window rolled down, and a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses gestured to Li Manshu.
"Take care of yourself!"
Li Manshu did not linger; she tossed out those words and walked towards the BMW 5 Series.
Ding!
You have received a new order.
At the same time, the familiar Kangaroo Takeout notification sound came from Yang Hao's phone.
He glanced at the order information subconsciously—the pickup location was a cake shop one kilometer away, and the delivery neighborhood was less than two kilometers from there, making it a quality order.
Right now, Yang Hao couldn't be sure whether the Monopoly-Game System was real or fake, but life had to go on. He took a deep breath and then mounted the electric scooter beside him.
"Bro, don't worry."
"I'll take good care of Manshu!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses stuck his head out from the driver's seat and boasted smugly.
Heh!
Ptui!!
Yang Hao couldn't be bothered to waste words with such people; as he started the electric scooter, he spat right at them.
Holy fuck!!
The two were fairly close, and the spit—a vintage product of '82—landed right on the man's nose.
The phlegm slid down and slowly dribbled onto his lips.
Li Manshu hurriedly took out a tissue to help wipe it away.
"What kind of quality is this!"
"What the fuck kind of quality is this!"
"CNMD!!!"
After wiping off the phlegm that nearly entered his mouth, Shen Mingshan burst into furious curses.
"My dear, let's not stoop to his level."
"Just a stinking delivery man, what kind of quality can he have?"
Li Manshu hurriedly comforted him on the side.
"You must have been blind to pick such a man," Shen Mingshan sneered and complained, then wiped his face with a wet wipe.
"I was young back then, I didn't understand..."
Li Manshu whimpered softly, looking pitiful.
"Alright, enough of the past. Let's go have a big meal to celebrate!" Shen Mingshan pinched the woman's cheek and then started the car.
