Fu Yong’s heart suddenly welled up with tender affection. Some things are better when they are allowed to come to fruition naturally.

The next second, Hua Tang heard him say in a low voice, hoarse with emotion, “It’s getting late. Get some sleep.”

Bewildered, she felt the pressure confining her body leave.

Her emotions were muddled. This man should be the closest person to her, but she had only known him for a few days. Moreover, the truth of her identity weighs heavily on her mind.

Mu Chi had no idea she was a substitute bride.

She had thought about bravely admitting to him that she was not Hua Ning; she was Hua Tang. But every time the words reached her mouth, she would hesitate.

With Mu Chi’s fiery temper, if he realized that the Hua family lied to him, god knows what he would do.

She looked at the sandbag in the courtyard, saw the hole punched through it, and immediately dispelled the thought.

Fu Yong murmured, “I told you to go to bed. Why are you in a daze?”

Hua Tang snapped out of her thoughts and walked towards the bedroom. At that moment, she received a call from Wei Zhiyuan.

“Sis, you don’t have to worry anymore. Mom’s medical expenses are settled!”

Hua Tang couldn’t believe her ears. She gripped her phone tightly. “Where did you get the money?”

“Hua Ning sent it over today,” Wei Zhiyuan said with a smile. “She brought a pearl necklace and said that it was your father’s dowry for you. It’s worth 300,000 yuan!”

Hua Tang had trouble comprehending his words as if she was trying to grasp the mysteries of the universe.

Wei Zhiyuan continued excitedly, “Medical fees aside, the Hua family even moved Mom to a private room. Not only do we have professional nurses, but we also have access to the most advanced drugs. Sis, I think your dad still cares for Mom quite a bit.”

Wei Zhiyuan smiled innocently. “Alright, I’ll talk to you later. It’s time for my evening self-study! By the way, Sis, don’t forget about my book fees. I’m the only one in the class who hasn’t paid!”

“Okay…” Hua Tang mumbled.

Even when Wei Zhiyuan hung up the phone, she felt as if she’d switched worlds without realizing it because she had just heard the most unbelievable thing.

Hua Ning suddenly gained a conscience and gave her the money; Hua Dahai still cares for her mother?!

Even her dreams weren’t so crazy.

Thinking of the attitude of the Hua family the day she returned home, Hua Tang had given up on the 300,000 yuan dowry. Who knew…

She quickly went into the bedroom and carefully put the bracelet back. Thank heavens she didn’t sell it!

Anyhow, the problem was solved.

Fu Yong stood outside the door and saw her relaxed smile. He curled his lips, and warmth swept through his heart.

He looked down at his phone, spying a message from Yu Chidong: [All taken care of!]

[Not bad. I’ll reward you later.] Fu Yong replied. He had always been a man of few words and only replied to messages when he was in a good mood.

This was the first time Yu Chidong had received such a long reply from Fu Yong. He immediately frowned in worry.

When everything returned to the right track, would Fu Yong be able to leave with nonchalance?

The next day, Hua Tang cleaned the house while Fu Yong punched the sandbag in the yard.

She chuckled as she listened to his rhythmic hits.

Even though she did not understand why he was so obsessed with such violent sports and trained daily, she never stopped him. After all, it was better to hit sandbags here than to pick fights with others elsewhere.

However, at this moment, her phone rang.

When she picked up the call, Hua Ning’s sharp, angry voice came through, ear-piercing as always.

“Hua Tang, I underestimated you! You and your mother are cut from the same cloth. Cheap wh*res seducing men left and right; you even got your hands on Young Master Yu!”

“What are you flipping out about so early in the morning? Go and get your head checked out! You mad woman, who are you calling cheap? You and your mother should look in the mirror!”

Hua Tang would not tolerate insults to her mother, but she did not want to tangle with a ‘mad dog’ either.

Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Hua Ning’s furious jibes.

“You still won’t admit it. How could Daddy have lost that piece of land if it weren’t for the Yu family? Do you know what Young Master Yu said to Daddy? He said Daddy must be dirt poor to short-change his daughter on her dowry. Who would dare to collaborate with the Hua family? Do you know how much Dad has sacrificed for this project?”

“1.5 billion! It’s all gone because of you!”

Hua Tang was confused, but she wasn’t going to let the offense go without retaliation. “Hurry up and get your brain checked. You were the one who went to the hospital to give the pearl necklace to my brother, and now you’re denying it. What Young Master Yu? What land? I’ve never even heard of it!”

At the thought that Hua Tang might use the Yu family to suppress the Hua family, Hua Ning lost all rationality.

“You pretentious little b*tch. You pretend to be pure and pitiful on the surface, but you’re actually full of wicked intentions! You really took after your sl*t of a mother and slept around, huh? You must be a really good lay, just a crook of a finger, and Young Master Yu did such a huge favor for you! Mu Chi must have a great time in bed, having married a sl*t like you.”
