34 Actions Speak Louder Than Words (1/2)

Since Ye Shuang had been named, she stepped forth from behind Fang Mo directly and said, ”Sister Chen is it? If you don't want to sell me this apartment, then the person who stands to gain is only her.”

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. Chen's 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. Chen's 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.

Alas…

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, ”What do you mean by that?”

”Mrs. Chen, I'm sure a person of your caliber will have many things to deal with in your life. After this incident blows over, I believe you won't want to waste much of your time to follow up on the sales of this house.” Ye Shuang smiled. ”Even if you do, how can be sure the so-called buyer isn't another part of the conspiracy? If that happens, at the end of the day, the apartment will still return to its current owner.”

F*ck! The husband instantly wanted to curse. Throughout the commotion, his mistress had given a praise-worthy performance; she didn't complain or counter Mrs. Chen's claims. She had simply stood there quietly and let the blows fall on her.

Initially, the husband's plan was indeed to wait for Mrs. Chen's 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 husband's personality, and the man's face might as well have had 'got caught' written on it. She roared angrily at him, ”You think you can pull another one over on me‽”

Mr. Chen, of course, denied it instantly. He exclaimed with confidence, ”Of course not! She's just making up stories!”

Naturally, he couldn't admit he was planning just that.

Ye Shuang chimed in, ”Actions speak louder than words. The best method to prove your innocence is to sell the apartment to me to get rid of it.”

Damn woman! Have you not done enough damage‽ Mr. Chen's 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 didn't know how he would answer to his friend…

Mrs. Chen scoffed. Even though she didn't trust Mr. Chen, it didn't mean that she trusted Ye Shuang implicitly. ”Why should I sell it to you‽”

”Why not? We both stand to gain from this transaction!” Ye Shuang tried to plead her case. Rich people wouldn't 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. ”Even though I'm going to pay it via installments, going to the bank will take some time. As long as Sister Chen gives me an appropriate price, I'll pay the instalments on time every month…”

”Installments‽” Mrs. Chen gasped with surprise as she tossed Fang Mo a meaningful look.
