Since Ye Shuang had been named, she stepped forth from behind Fang Mo directly and said, âSister Chen is it? If you donât want to sell me this apartment, then the person who stands to gain is only her.â
Ye Shuang pointed right at the mistress who thought she could fade into the background.
The mistress was startled; she had been trying to find ways to lower Mrs. Chenâs anger level, hoping that Mrs. Chen would eventually let this go⌠Honestly though, it was not uncommon for the mistress to gang up with the husband to usurp the spot of the first wife, but that was not going to happen in the Chen household. Mrs. Chen came from a loaded family background, so while she might not be able to do much to her husband, Mrs. Chen was definitely powerful enough to end the life of a C-list celebrity.
If not for the fact the place was heavily surrounded by Mrs. Chenâs men, she would have escaped from the scene when given the chance. Therefore, the only thing she could do was remain as silent as possible to move the spotlight away from herself.
AlasâŚ
Mrs. Chen glanced at the mistress out of the corner of her eye. The latter froze as Mrs. Chen turned back to look at Ye Shuang. She scanned Ye Shuang suspiciously up and down before asking, âWhat do you mean by that?â
âMrs. Chen, Iâm sure a person of your caliber will have many things to deal with in your life. After this incident blows over, I believe you wonât want to waste much of your time to follow up on the sales of this house.â Ye Shuang smiled. âEven if you do, how can be sure the so-called buyer isnât another part of the conspiracy? If that happens, at the end of the day, the apartment will still return to its current owner.â
F*ck! The husband instantly wanted to curse. Throughout the commotion, his mistress had given a praise-worthy performance; she didnât complain or counter Mrs. Chenâs claims. She had simply stood there quietly and let the blows fall on her.
Initially, the husbandâs plan was indeed to wait for Mrs. Chenâs fire to cease burning and find a friend to purchase the apartment from his wife and gift it back to the mistress as a prize for acting so obediently today. Who would have thought this woman who had come along with Fang Mo would ruin his devious plan?
Mrs. Chen twisted her head to give her husband a side-eye. She was very familiar with her husbandâs personality, and the manâs face might as well have had âgot caughtâ written on it. She roared angrily at him, âYou think you can pull another one over on meâ˝â
Mr. Chen, of course, denied it instantly. He exclaimed with confidence, âOf course not! Sheâs just making up stories!â
Naturally, he couldnât admit he was planning just that.
Ye Shuang chimed in, âActions speak louder than words. The best method to prove your innocence is to sell the apartment to me to get rid of it.â
Damn woman! Have you not done enough damageâ˝Â Mr. Chenâs eyes were practically burning as he imagined tearing Ye Shuang into pieces. Fang Mo took a silent step to shield Ye Shuang. If something really did happen to Ye Shuang, he didnât know how he would answer to his friendâŚ
Mrs. Chen scoffed. Even though she didnât trust Mr. Chen, it didnât mean that she trusted Ye Shuang implicitly. âWhy should I sell it to youâ˝â
âWhy not? We both stand to gain from this transaction!â Ye Shuang tried to plead her case. Rich people wouldnât mind small change. If Mrs. Chen wanted to get rid of this apartment as soon as possible, Ye Shuang had to make sure she benefited from it. âEven though Iâm going to pay it via installments, going to the bank will take some time. As long as Sister Chen gives me an appropriate price, Iâll pay the instalments on time every monthâŚâ
âInstallmentsâ˝â Mrs. Chen gasped with surprise as she tossed Fang Mo a meaningful look.
Fang Mo was silent. He understood the meaning of this rather interesting look. Even Ye Shuang caught it.
Fang Mo was silent for a half a minute before explaining, âMiss Ye is really my friendâs fiancĂŠ; she has no dealings with any people around me.â
Knowing that Ye Shuang valued this opportunity greatly, Fang Mo helped her out. âAfter all, Mrs. Chen, youâre going to sell this apartment. Instead of waiting for the real estate agent to find a buyer, why not give me face and sell it to my friend? Itâs convenient for you and can help Miss Ye save some expenses.â
Mrs. Chen was slowly convinced. Fang Mo had stated everything clearly, so the womanâs identity probably wasnât as complicated as she had thought. After all, the girl did point out her despicable husbandâs ploy; she didnât have to do that if she was there to side with Mr. Chen.
Ye Shuang added, âThatâs right, Sister Chen. Yes, Iâm profiting off your inconvenience, but you want this thing to wrap up as soon as possible, right? We both stand to gain from this arrangement.â
Mr. Chen finally lost his patience. Ignoring the fact that his wife was standing right there, he wouldnât be able to sleep that night if he didnât say something to this annoying woman. âWhy should I let you profit off my houseâ˝â
âYour house or your little vixenâs houseâ˝â Ye Shuang didnât care about making an enemy. After all, it was obvious that she had to find a side to lean toward, and of course, she aligned herself with Mrs. Chen.
That was the push Mrs. Chen needed. âChen He, you shut up! Come with me, Iâm selling you this house; weâll go to the bank right now!â
Fang Mo sighed in relief. This result was not bad. At least he extricated himself safely from the conflict, and Mrs. Chen didnât seem to take any offense toward him. Then, he noticed Ye Shuang had been staring at him with her wide eyes.
ââŚWhatâs wrong?â Fang Mo whispered.
Ye Shuang laughed awkwardly. âBrother Fang, we havenât been paid for the advertisement yetâŚâ
In other words, she couldnât produce the down payment.

âI mean, can you pay me in advancedâ˝â
Just as Ye Shuang was pleading with Fang Mo, the mistress finally lost her temper to glare at Chen He. Youâre going to let your wife sell the house that I deserve for accompanying you for months just like thatâ˝
Mr. Chen was also at his witâs end. He took a step forward angrily and yelled⌠not at Mrs. Chen but at Ye Shuang, âYouâŚâ
Before he finished, his voice was swallowed by a loud scream.
