C66 (1/2)

Zhang Yanzhen concentrated on driving, glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time.

Zhao Yilin was holding the book < The Overbearing CEO's Darling Wife > in her hands. She thought of what her girlfriend had said to her after the second male lead had kicked her.

”Xiaolan, in the two years we've been together, I've given you everything you wanted. I've never said a word of no. Is there a need to be so stubborn?”

”I've done it a few times with her, but it was only physical. The one I love is still you, only you. This can't be considered as cheating.”

”Heh.” Zhao Yilin couldn't help but laugh, startling Zhang You.

”Eli, did you fight?”

”Nope.”

”What happened? You look like you have nothing to live for? ”

Zhao Yilin didn't answer, her head hanging on the sofa.

Zhang Youzhen said, ”You can tell this benefactor of mine.”

The word 'benefactor' made Zhao Yilin feel relieved. She took a deep breath and said, ”I'm jealous. I kicked over the jar of vinegar. Now, I'm drowning myself.”

Zhang You pursed his lips into a smile, and dimples appeared on his forehead. ”You're still in the mood to joke? It looks like it's nothing serious.”

”I just don't understand. I know he has so many ex-girlfriends, but why am I jealous? I'm jealous, but I don't know how to face it. Ah, my heart feels so bad, as if there's a small fire burning inside. It's so painful that I can't even breathe, and I can't die. ”

Zhang You saw her holding her forehead in distress, the smile on his face dimmed a lot. ”It's only natural to be jealous. You once said, you're not a strong person, so why do you have to force yourself to do strong things?”

Zhao Yelin looked at her cellphone. After she left the airport, she sent Huo Yelin a message informing him that she was safe. Half an hour had passed, yet Huo Yelin had not even sent her a reply, let alone a phone call.

Annoyed, she buried her face in her knees.

The black van moved at lightning speed along the highway. In the blink of an eye, it was out of the airport loop and disappeared from sight.

Zhao Yilin went back to her old apartment. When the door was opened, she was stunned. Even Zhang You, who sent her back home, was speechless.

The room was empty. All the furniture had disappeared. There were some ”useless” trash scattered on the floor. Red rays of light shone into the living room and could be seen densely floating in the air.

Zhao Yilin dropped her handbag on the floor and walked into the room in disbelief.

Not only the living room, but also the two bedrooms, the kitchen, and the bathroom. All the furniture and supplies had been removed, leaving only an empty shell, a soulless corpse.

”How could this be?” Zhao Yilin stood in the middle of the living room and felt like fainting. Zhang Yanzhen took her in his arms.

”Maybe there was some misunderstanding. I thought your uncle would sell the house because you didn't live here anymore.”

Zhao Yilin leaned on his shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes. ”This is my first home. I don't want to sell it no matter how much money we have in the future. Is money really that important to them? ”

Zhang You really patted her on the back and said, ”Eli, let's go get the house back.”

”Alright.”

Zhao Yilin and Zhang Yizhen drove to Lin City's uncle's house without delay.

Zhao Yilin touched her handbag. Inside, there was a real estate certificate with her name on it and a bank card in it. She had enough money to buy the house back.

She had grown up in her uncle's house all these years, and she had never forgotten the kindness of having children. Because of this, she would never allow them to ruin her happiness.

When the van stopped, Zhao said, ”Ah Zhen, wait for me here.”

”Okay, call me if you need anything.”

Zhao Yilin gritted her teeth, opened the car door and stepped into the corridor. Zhang Yanzhen got out of the car and leaned against the door of the car, staring up at the window of the 12th floor, which was glowing with white light.

When their uncle and aunt found out the reason for Zhao Yilin's visit, their expressions turned grim.

Zhao Yilin calmly sat on the couch in the living room and said, ”I've disturbed your rest by coming over so late at night.”

His uncle smiled. ”It's fine. Do you want some fruits?”

Zhao Yilin shook her head. ”We are family, after all. I don't want to lie in front of you. I'm here for the house.”

Aunt smirked contemptuously, sat down opposite her, and said: ”That's good, your uncle and I were just about to go look for you. ”Now that you've moved away, we'd like to sell the house and leave it empty.

His uncle said, ”That's right. Since you're not living here, what's the point of keeping it?”

”This house is my first home,” said Zhao. ”It's very emotional, and I really don't want to sell it. Uncle, Aunt, I should have repaid you for raising me for so many years. ”

She took out a bank card from her bag and placed it on the tea table, then said, ”This card contains 500,000 yuan, not much. I can only express my gratitude.”

Aunt's eyes lit up and she reached for it.

”I just want to go back to that room,” Zhao Yilin said, pressing his hand down.

Uncle and Aunt looked at each other, ashamed and helpless.

”Eli, it's not that we don't want to give it back to you but the house has been sold.”

”He sold it!”
