nWhen the mother and daughter finally met, an overwhelming amount of sadness immediately welled up inside their hearts. Tears rolled down Fang Liu’s face, and the moment she opened her mouth to speak, she choked up, “M-Mom…”

n

nTao Yue’s heart ached, but she smiled gently and comforted her daughter, “What’s with all the tears? I’m fine. You don’t have to cry. I’m so happy to see you, my dear.”

n

nFang Liu wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “You’ve lost a lot of weight. Are you having a tough time here?”

n

n“No, It’s nothing. I once ran an entire business on my own and only slept every other day. I’ve been through worse, trust me. I just miss you, that’s all. The last time Zhu Chang came to visit, he had told me about what you’ve been up to. I didn’t expect to hear that you got married, though.”

n

nTears rolled down Tao Yue’s face as she continued, “It’s all my fault. I couldn’t save you from the Fang family. I couldn’t even come to your wedding because I’m stuck in prison. You’re pregnant, and I can’t even help to take care of you.”

n

n“Don’t say that, Mom. I live a good life, and my husband takes good care of me. Don’t worry about me. You have to take care of yourself. After I pay off your debts, I’ll come and take you home, okay?”

n

n“I’ll be fine. You should take care of yourself as well. You have to watch what you eat and drink now that you’re pregnant.” Tao Yue offered endless advice to Fang Liu. She couldn’t help but worry about her daughter.

n

nThe mother and daughter chatted for a long while before the warden came to inform them that their visiting hours had ended.

n

nSeeing Tao Yue being brought back to her cell, Fang Liu wiped her tears and calmed down.

n

nMeanwhile, Zhu Chang had been waiting by the door. Fang Liu and Tao Yue were catching up, so he decided to wait outside. Seeing that the visiting hours were over, Zhu Chang proceeded to support Fang Liu out of prison.

n

nThe sky was already dark When Fang Liu returned to the Mo family home. It was past 10 p.m., and Fang Liu realized that Mo Yu hadn’t returned yet. This made Fang Liu feel worried, so she decided to call him.

n

nHowever, Chu Hao was the one who answered the call. “Oh, Mo Yu is fine. He’s here with me. He had a few drinks at a social event today, so I’ll let him sleep here. He’ll be back tomorrow.”

n

n“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him. Remember to give him something to eat. Otherwise, he’ll feel uncomfortable when he sleeps.”

n

nAfter hanging up the phone, Chu Hao looked at Mo Yu, lying silently on his bed. For a moment, Chu Hao was a little speechless.

n

n‘Fang Liu seems fine, so I don’t know why you were so angry, Mo Yu. What kind of argument did you two have?’

n

nMore than half an hour ago, Chu Hao received a call from Mo Yu asking him to go to a bar.

n

nWhen Chu Hao arrived at the bar, he saw Mo Yu, already drunk and unconscious. He had no choice but to bring Mo Yu to his house.

n

nAfter Mo Yu sobered up slightly, Chu Hao offered to send him home, but Mo Yu refused.

n

nLooking at Mo Yu’s sullen and awkward expression, Chu Hao immediately guessed, “Please tell me that you’re not quarreling with your wife.”

n

n“Mind your own business, Chu Hao. I’ll need to borrow your bed for the night.” Mo Yu did not want to say anything more.

n

nChu Hao had experienced heartbreak before, so he already knew what was happening when he saw Mo Yu’s expression.

n

n“You can’t lie to me. I grew up with you. We’re like brothers, so you shouldn’t be hiding these things from me.”

n

n“Scram…” seeing that Chu Hao was making sarcastic remarks, Mo Yu glared at him coldly.

n

n“Let me guess. Based on your domineering personality and the fact that you’re depressed and angry… Is it because of another man? Is there someone between you two?”

n

nIt had to be said that Chu Hao was indeed sharp. Mo Yu glanced at him coldly. After a while, he said, “That’s not exactly true. I just don’t like other men being around her, that’s all.”

n

nInitially, Fang Liu said that she would visit her mother today. But when Fang Liu said she would not let Mo Yu go, he did not think too much about it.

n

nHowever, when the person who followed Fang Liu sent him a photo of his wife being close to Zhu Chang, Mo Yu’s entire body began to tremble.

n

nFang Liu didn’t bring Mo Yu to visit her mother. Instead, she went with another man.

n

nMo Yu was upset, but he kept trying to justify his wife’s actions. ‘Zhu Chang is Tao Yue’s lawyer. He’s just arranging for Fang Liu and her mother to meet.’

n

nBut this didn’t make Mo Yu feel any better. Looking at the photo of Zhu Chang carefully supporting Fang Liu, he felt a burning sense of jealousy well up in his heart.

n

nBefore Fang Liu returned home, Mo Yu ran to the bar to drown his sorrows with alcohol, and before he passed out, he called Chu Hao and asked him to pick him up.
