Proofread by Peter Gong

Ko Chen stares at Yu Yu without any words, which scares Yu Yu so much that she doesn’t dare to say anything.

It’s so quiet in the passage that even the sound of a needle that falls to the ground can be heard clearly. Her thumb and index finger unconsciously rub in her numb palm, which scares the nervous Yu Yu.

Just at this time, the phone suddenly rings, which shocks Yu Yu, but luckily takes away Ko Chen’s pressure away for he turns his gaze and gets the phone.

Yu Yu takes a deep breath of relief.

“Hello?” Ko Chen asks. Maybe it’s due to the empty passage, Ko Chen’s deep voice sounds more seductive than usual.

Yu Yu can’t control herself but looks at the man in front infatuatedly, and soon loses her mind.

Ko Chen’s chest muscle is partly hidden and partly visible and long legs under the clothes add a color of temptation of abstinence to his handsome figure. How can one find a such an excellent man who is both handsome and rich?

Yu Yu makes a decision that she must get him. As long as she can be with Ko Chen, there’s no need to worry about her life anymore. So those dissolute experiences must become a history.

She must change totally and be a new herself.

However, Ko Chen’s paler and paler face isn’t captured by Yu Yu who has fallen into the illusion of future.

The thing goes like this: the dean thought it was okay if Yu Fei’s child was saved when the doctor reported to him about Yu Fei’s situation. But he never imagined that the situation was much exacerbated. His face turned pale with fear, and his hands, holding up the phone, shook unconsciously.

If Yu Fei couldn’t be healed, he would…The dean didn’t dare to think more about it. He who was asked for several times by the doctor on the phone could do nothing but trembled with his hands.

He dared not to delay and called Uncle Zhang immediately after hanging up and reported Yu Fei’s illness faithfully.

Uncle Zhang called Ko Chen immediately after hearing the shocking news. Considering Ko Chen’s condition, he just told half of the truth that Yu Fei may have to check her mental condition.

Ko Chen can imagine the real situation for he knows Uncle Zhang doesn’t tell the whole story. He feels both angry and heartache and doesn’t speak for a long time.

Uncle Zhang is worried when hearing nothing and asks him several times. Ko Chen responds in a low voice and hangs up the phone.

“Where is your mother? Is she home?” Ko Chen asks unexpectedly with a glance at Yu Yu. Although Yu Yu doesn’t make sense why he mentions her mother, she nods after hesitation.

Unlike other son-in-law, Ko Chen has always been distant to Yu Family for he and Yu Fei were married just due to debt three years ago. Although he cared more and more about Yu Fei, he never meant to care about Yu Family.

Ko Chen seems not to see Yu Yu’s doubts, and says, “Your house is too small. Let your mother live in Ko House.”

Yu Yu can’t believe her ears. She is stunned for a long time and asks, “Chen, what did you just

Ko Chen knows what she is shocked about, but he maintains his expression and repeats it aloofly.

Now Yu Yu is ensured that there is nothing wrong about her ears. In ecstasy, she nods immediately, abandoning her previous displeasure.

On hearing Yu Yu’s acceptance, Ko Chen no longer looks at her, walks past her, opens the door to emergency exit, and pauses before going out. “Let your mother move here as soon as possible!” he demands without looking back.

After his words, he leaves.

Yu Yu is still stunned and looks infatuatedly at his shadow. She doesn’t come to herself until Ko Chen’s shadow has completely faded away.

She is too excited to say anything. In a great hush she takes out the phone and calls Wong Feng. The moment the phone is connected, Wong Feng’s swearing voice mixed with the sound of mahjong is heard.

It’s obvious that Wong Feng doesn’t notice who’s calling. Yu Yu instantly puts on a stern expression. Since Wong Feng was married with Yu Jie, playing majhong with other rich wives has been her greatest pleasure, but she lost money every time she played due to her poor skills. However, she was keen on it even after Yu Jie died, and when she had no money, she asked Yu Fei, if Yu Fei didn’t give her, she asked Yu Yu for it.

Therefore, as for playing mahjong, they disagree with each other violently.

“Mom, are you still playing mahjong?” Yu Yu’s good mood instantly decreases by more than half on hearing the sound of mahjong, and her tone becomes serious in the meantime.

Wong Feng is just setting up the mahjong, and suddenly hearing Yu Yu’s voice, she is stunned and takes phone from the ear and has a look. Damn, the name “Yu Yu” appears on the screen.

She closes her eyes remorsefully and slows down the process of setting up. Seeing Wong Feng has no action, other rich wives urge her to speed up.

Wong Feng has been worried about Yu Yu’s blaming her for playing mahjong. She is urged by others and her look immediately turns gloomy. She waves her hand impatiently and curses them with no respect.

“I’m talking to my daughter, what are you urging for? Hurry for death?”

Quite unlike her delicate appearance, Wong Feng’s personality is pretty rude. Hearing her words, they say nothing more though they feel uncomfortable.

“Yu, what are you calling for?” After the cursing, her tone quickly becomes gentle and even somewhat obsequious.

Yu Yu was meant to flare up, but she recalls Ko Chen’s words and gaiety immediately prevails. She beams with joy, “mom, I have a good news, are you ready?”

Wong Feng’s face brightens, and she says yes.

Yu Yu smiles and tells her that Ko Chen offers to let her move in Ko House, which is quite out of Wong Feng’s expectation. It delights Wong Feng so much that she can’t control herself and nearly throws her phone down.

“Do I hear you wrong?”

Wong Feng reacted exactly as Yu Yu expected. She is happy and proud for Ko Chen never gave them this offer over those three years when Yu Fei and Ko Chen were still together.

“I knew it, I knew it……” Wong Feng murmurs. She has no intention to play mahjong but stands up and tends to go.

On seeing her going away, others are not happy and shout to Wong Feng, “What do you mean? Run away when losing money?”

Wong Feng turns back arrogantly and takes a dozen red banknotes (red banknotes: the maximum amount in RMB) from her bag and throws them on the table charmingly. “Take it, take it; have you never seen money?” Her mouth seems to grin behind her ears.

Then, she sways away, leaving others looking at one another speechlessly.
