“Sister, I’m strapped for cash. Transfer some money to me.”

The phone is answered, but the girl seems unkind, even a little impatient.

“Little Yu~”

Yu Fei bursts into tears. She knows that this person is her only hope.

“Are you all right?” Yu Yu, who is drinking with friends, is stunned.

“Little Yu, now you are the only person who can help me. Please, help me to explain to Chen the thing that happened three years ago.”

“Three years ago?” Yu Yu frowns, “What’s the thing that happened three years ago? Yu Fei, are you dumped? I just want to ‘borrow’ some money from you. If you are not willing to give me the money, there’s no need to make such a lame excuse.

Yu Yu stressed the word “borrow”. She always dislikes this so-called elder sister. Especially the marriage of her sister three years ago makes her green with envy. Why all good things favor Yu Fei? Why father regards her highly?

“No,” Yu Fei tries to hold her choked voice. “He came with me for antenatal care and saw the abortion history in my medical record three years ago. I don’t know how to explain it. I… Little Yu…”

“I don’t understand what are you talking about! Du–Du–”

The phone is hung up suddenly and her last hope is destroyed. She looks up into the dark rainy sky. Is there anyone who can help her?

Yu Fei stands up from the wet road absentmindedly. A honk comes in the distance and dazzling light covers her, but she seems unaware of this, still lost in her own world.

The car will soon hit her. Screams arise on the roadside. It’s too late when she comes back to reality. Her eyes open in panic.

Suddenly, a force pulls her back and the car grazes her. She falls to the ground heavily and clutches her slightly raised stomach. If there is no man cushioning her, she couldn’t imagine what will happen.

“I’m sorry. Thank you…”

As she said, she freezes when she sits up and sees the familiar face with a smile, “Gu Li?”

Gu Li smiles and helps her up, “I’m happy you recognized me. Are you all right? Do you get hurt? Do you need me to drive you to hospital?”

“No, thanks…” Yu Fei shakes and refuses. Suddenly she feels pain in her stomach. Thinking about her child, she nods and agrees, “Please.”

“It’s my pleasure.”

He helps her to get into his car. Seeing this calm woman sit aside him, Gu Li feels a kind of ineffable joy. He had unrequited love for her when they were at same university, but he was too self-abased to tell her. When he finally has some achievements, she has already become someone’s wife.

“What did you think? Even pay no attention to road.”

His voice is soft and reminds Yu Fei of Ko Chen. She couldn’t help bursting into tears against the man’s shoulder. Gu Li is unprepared for her behavior. He ignores her tears because of the rain on their bodies.

“He said he doesn’t want my child!”

This word may seem strange to others but Yu Li gets it. She got that man’s baby? However, he is more angry than shocked because of her tears. His voice becomes deeper, “What happened?”

…

Colorful spotlights spin crazily. Hot music, crazy dance and drunk people.

A man, who is as drunk as a fiddler, presents a glass of wine to Yu Yu, “Come on, baby, keep drinking!”

Yu Yu has not yet come back to herself and pushes this man testily. Now the words of Yu Fei are still on her mind.

Three years ago? Abortion?

Isn’t this thing past? Why does she bring it up again?

She forces herself to calm down to think back Yu Fei’s word. She is shocked suddenly.

“Yu Fei said Ko Chen saw that record? That means Ko Chen doubts Yu fei had abortion three years ago and there is a rift between them?”

As she was thinking about that, her mouth raises a gloomy arc. You see, even God is not satisfied that Yu Fei has a happier life!

Then, it’s time to watch Yu Fei’s pain. She glances at the drunk crowd. If she can be with Ko Chen, she will turn her nose up at these people.

But now she needs to figure out whether this thing is true.

She leaves the bar and goes to a quiet place with her bag, and then calls Ko Chen.

“Hello?”

Yu Yu can feel his cold tone, the secret joy arises in her heart, and she feigns a shy look.

“Brother-in-law, this is Yu Yu. My sister just called me and said… you two have some problem?”

“…”

Ko Chen keeps silence on the other side of the phone. That makes Yu Yu think she may be right, so she Keeps stirring up trouble.

“It was a momentary impulse so she couldn’t hold herself. You…”

“Du—Du–”

The phone is hung up, but her smile turns wider. It looks like Ko Chen truly misunderstood that thing.

She holds her phone tightly. “Yu Fei, don’t blame me because this is all your fault.”

On the other side, Ko Chen leans forward with a rush and drops his phone accidentally.

“What happened?”

Ko Chen frowns and asks, picking the phone near his foot up. He doesn’t care much when he sees the phone is hung up.

Uncle Chang looks back and explains, “It seems like there is a car accident.”

“Car accident?”

Ko Chen frowns, looking at the crowd through the window. He suddenly recalls that Yu Fei seemed to be here when he left.

In a flash, he is in a cold sweat. He pushes the door open and rushes out of the car in panic under Uncle Chang’s shocked gaze.

He rushes through the crowd and glances around, but doesn’t find that familiar figure. Looking at the truck which nearly hit the street lamp, he is relieved and falls into self-mockery. Since when he began to get nervous and flustered so easily for a woman?

“Shit, women even don’t look at the road when they walk across. I swear I’ll hit her next time!Shit, she’s dead meat!”

The driver gets out of the car with swearing. Ko Chen is nervous again.

“Woman?” He rushes to that driver, pulls his collar and asks ferociously, “What does she look like? What’s going on?”

The driver doesn’t expect that and stutters, “It’s…It’s a woman in red coat who came from that road suddenly. I’m driving as usual. It’s not my fault…not my fault.”

Red coat? That’s what Yu Fei is wearing today!
