Behind a large office desk, a pair of eyes stared at the computer screen, and his handsome face had an irreverent smile. He leaned back and narrowed his eyes. “Don’t worry about it!”

“What if she stole it…Then this …”

“It’s unlikely.” Yu Chidong crossed his legs and smiled devilishly, “I heard that Third Brother Fu Yong got married. I’m guessing she’s the adoring wife. However, Fu Yong probably didn’t expect his little wife to come here with his family heirloom!”

“Young Master Yu, what should we do next?”

Yu Chidong said, “Tell the shop assistant to offer her… One million yuan!”

While Hua Tang was feeling uneasy, the shop assistant finally returned.

When the shop assistant saw her, she grinned and said, “Miss, after our professional appraisal, your bracelet can be mortgaged for one million!”

A buzzing sound rang in Hua Tang’s ears. A million?

She held the bracelet tightly with a troubled look on her petite face. The price was completely beyond her expectations.

She had never thought that the item given by Mu Chi would be so valuable! So, ‘a starving camel was still bigger than a horse’—Even if the Mu family was in decline, they still had some wealth.

With one million yuan, her mother’s medical expenses would be secured for quite some time, and she could even send Wei Zhiyuan to a good school.

But this was a wedding gift from Mu Chi, after all, and it was so expensive…

Hua Tang frowned slightly. At this moment, the image of Mu Chi handing the jewelry box to her suddenly flashed across her mind. He said that this was his entire life-savings and that she’ll be the one to manage the household…

She bit her lip and felt guilty. Mu Chi already gave her everything he could. How could she repay his sincerity like so?

“Miss, are you not satisfied with the price? We can discuss the price.” The shop assistant smiled cautiously. “I’ll show you our mortgage records here. You can refer to them…”

“Forget it. I’ve changed my mind!” Hua Tang swiftly stuffed the bracelet back into her bag.

“What…” Before the shop assistant could react, Hua Tang had already run out of the jewelry store. Her slender figure disappeared into the busy street.

“She didn’t sell it?” A teasing voice came from upstairs.

The shop assistant immediately turned around and bowed at a 90-degree angle. She respectfully called out, “Young Master Yu!”

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a callous smile appeared on his lips. He sat casually on the sofa and took out his phone.

He smiled and said, “Fu Yong, did you know your wife came to my shop and put up your family heirloom as collateral?”

Fu Yong was silent on the other end of the phone.

However, even through the phone, Yu Chidong could picture Fu Yong’s expressionless mien. The Third Master of the Fu family was well-known for his poker face.

Yu Chidong put away his irreverent smile and coughed twice. “Don’t you have anything to say?”

“What more can I say? What I gave her is hers,” Fu Yong said with a faint smile. “It’s her business how she wants to deal with it.”

“But that belonged to your great-grandmother!” Yu Chidong said. “It’s been passed down for several generations, and you’re just casually giving it away?”

Fu Yong didn’t say anything.

He added more weight to the dumbbell. When he lifted it, his ripped muscles tensed—a perfect image of sex on legs.

“How much did she sell it for?”

“She didn’t sell it; she took it back.” Yu Chidong smiled.

Fu Yong frowned slightly. Since last night, he noticed that she was restless and kept glancing at the drawer. At that time, he knew that she was going to sell the jewelry.

Hua Tang was in a hurry to pay her mother’s medical bills. Since Hua Ning swiped the 300,000 yuan dowry, where could she get so much money in a short time if she did not sell the jewelry?

However, he didn’t expect her to come back from the jewelry store empty-handed.

“Fu Yong, I happened to be at the store today, and I recognized the heirloom immediately. I thought a thief stole it from you. I didn’t expect it to be my sister-in-law!”

Yu Chidong laughed again, “Fu Yong, she’s quite interesting. I thought she was strapped for cash, so I deliberately asked the shop assistant to give her a high price. Of course, this couldn’t compare to the true value of this bracelet, but it must have been a large fortune to her! It’s enough for her to spend for quite a while.”

“And then?” Fu Yong continued his dumbbell exercises.

Yu Chidong scratched his head. “I didn’t expect her to change her mind. Was my offer too high?”

Fu Yong had a strange feeling in his heart. Hua Tang’s troubled look last night surfaced in his mind again. She clearly had difficulties, but she didn’t tell him and insisted on shouldering everything herself… He narrowed his eyes and gave a faint smile.
