Chen Yanan looked at Su Bei with a strange look. “Beibei, what do you want to do?”

Su Bei smiled bitterly. “Since I have to buy the house, I must make money quickly.”

Chen Yanan looked at Su Bei, feeling upset and distressed for her.

Even though Chen Yanan was a patient person, she was getting agitated. “Beibei, why are you pushing yourself so hard? Everyone has their own destiny. Why do you need to be responsible for others? If your brother wants to get married, get him to earn for himself. Why is he forcing you to buy a house for him?”

Su Bei heaved out a heavy breath. “I do these things out of my own accord.”

“Out of your own accord? Beibei, you’ve paid a terrible price for what happened six years ago. Isn’t that enough? Who do they think they are? They are not creditors, but your family! But they actually force you to such an extent!”

Chen Yanan rarely mentioned what happened six years ago in front of Su Bei because she knew it was a thorn in Su Bei’s heart.

No matter how long time had passed, it would prick Su Bei whenever she thought of it.

But seeing how Su Bei looked now, Chen Yanan’s heart ached for her.

Seeing Chen Yanan’s eyes turning red, tears could not help but well in Su Bei’s eyes. She gave Chen Yanan a forced smile. “Yanan, they are my family. Even without what happened six years ago, I’ll do the same thing no matter what. You know how good my brother treats me.”

Chen Yanan reluctantly smiled. “Beibei, I’m afraid that you might just collapse one day. You’re not an iron lady. You have been supporting your family on your own for six years. After you tire yourself out, how can you still endure for another six years?”

Su Bei tried to withhold her tears that were on the brink of rolling down. She gently leaned against Chen Yanan’s shoulder and gave her a weak smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t crumble.”

Chen Yanan reached out and held her thin and frail shoulder. “Beibei, remember that I’m always behind you. You’re never alone!”

“Well, I know.” Warm tears rolled down from the corner of Su Bei’s eyes.

“Everything will get better,” said Chen Yanan softly.

“Mm. Everything will get better.”

Under the setting sun, the two delicate women gently embraced each other and warmed each other with their steady friendship.

Empire State Building…

This was the kingdom of Hua’s and the headquarter of Hongtian Ding Business.

Back at the CEO office on the 16th level, Hua Jinan was reading the information which was passed on by his assistant, Ye Qing.

His slender fingers were holding a photo with a man and a woman in it.

Ye Qing was a little tense. He was mentally preparing for the incoming storm.

However, all he heard was an impassive voice. “Did Qin Mosheng send her home?”

Ye Qing nodded. “Yes, he sent her all the way to the doorstep.”

“What’s with Luo Yingdong?” 

Ye Qing could not tell if the man was happy or upset through his voice, but his palm was already full of sweat.

“Miss Su met him at Liming Hotel four months ago!” said Ye Qing.

“Why did they meet?” Finally, there was a change in Hua Jinan’s expression as he asked with his brows furrowed.

Ye Qing softly mentioned two words. “Blind date!”

Hua Jinan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Blind date?”

He repeated the words softly.

That night, he was sleeping in Liming Hotel, when she suddenly climbed into his bed with passions that he could not refuse.

He quickly determined that she was drugged. But, he thought it was a test set up by his family members. Hence, he did not reject it.

Subsequently, he learned that she had nothing to do with the Hua family!

Therefore, all the more, he wanted to know if she deliberately came to seduce him or did it under the drug’s influence.
