When the mother and daughter finally met, an overwhelming amount of sadness immediately welled up inside their hearts. Tears rolled down Fang Liuâs face, and the moment she opened her mouth to speak, she choked up, âM-Momâ¦â
Tao Yueâs heart ached, but she smiled gently and comforted her daughter, âWhatâs with all the tears? Iâm fine. You donât have to cry. Iâm so happy to see you, my dear.â
Fang Liu wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, âYouâve lost a lot of weight. Are you having a tough time here?â
âNo, Itâs nothing. I once ran an entire business on my own and only slept every other day. Iâve been through worse, trust me. I just miss you, thatâs all. The last time Zhu Chang came to visit, he had told me about what youâve been up to. I didnât expect to hear that you got married, though.â
Tears rolled down Tao Yueâs face as she continued, âItâs all my fault. I couldnât save you from the Fang family. I couldnât even come to your wedding because Iâm stuck in prison. Youâre pregnant, and I canât even help to take care of you.â
âDonât say that, Mom. I live a good life, and my husband takes good care of me. Donât worry about me. You have to take care of yourself. After I pay off your debts, Iâll come and take you home, okay?â
âIâll be fine. You should take care of yourself as well. You have to watch what you eat and drink now that youâre pregnant.â Tao Yue offered endless advice to Fang Liu. She couldnât help but worry about her daughter.
The mother and daughter chatted for a long while before the warden came to inform them that their visiting hours had ended.
Seeing Tao Yue being brought back to her cell, Fang Liu wiped her tears and calmed down.
Meanwhile, 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.
The 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 hadnât returned yet. This made Fang Liu feel worried, so she decided to call him.
However, Chu Hao was the one who answered the call. âOh, Mo Yu is fine. Heâs here with me. He had a few drinks at a social event today, so Iâll let him sleep here. Heâll be back tomorrow.â
âOkay, then Iâll have to trouble you to take care of him. Remember to give him something to eat. Otherwise, heâll feel uncomfortable when he sleeps.â
After hanging up the phone, Chu Hao looked at Mo Yu, lying silently on his bed. For a moment, Chu Hao was a little speechless.
âFang Liu seems fine, so I donât know why you were so angry, Mo Yu. What kind of argument did you two have?â
More than half an hour ago, Chu Hao received a call from Mo Yu asking him to go to a bar.
When 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.
After Mo Yu sobered up slightly, Chu Hao offered to send him home, but Mo Yu refused.
Looking at Mo Yuâs sullen and awkward expression, Chu Hao immediately guessed, âPlease tell me that youâre not quarreling with your wife.â
âMind your own business, Chu Hao. Iâll need to borrow your bed for the night.â Mo Yu did not want to say anything more.
Chu Hao had experienced heartbreak before, so he already knew what was happening when he saw Mo Yuâs expression.
âYou canât lie to me. I grew up with you. Weâre like brothers, so you shouldnât be hiding these things from me.â
âScram...â seeing that Chu Hao was making sarcastic remarks, Mo Yu glared at him coldly.
âLet me guess. Based on your domineering personality and the fact that youâre depressed and angry⦠Is it because of another man? Is there someone between you two?â
It had to be said that Chu Hao was indeed sharp. Mo Yu glanced at him coldly. After a while, he said, âThatâs not exactly true. I just donât like other men being around her, thatâs all.â
Initially, 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.
However, when the person who followed Fang Liu sent him a photo of his wife being close to Zhu Chang, Mo Yuâs entire body began to tremble.
Fang Liu didnât bring Mo Yu to visit her mother. Instead, she went with another man.
Mo Yu was upset, but he kept trying to justify his wifeâs actions. âZhu Chang is Tao Yueâs lawyer. Heâs just arranging for Fang Liu and her mother to meet.â
But this didnât 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.
Before 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.
