26 I will always be there.

"WOMAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY?!"

He thundered.

"I-I-"

"What are you stuttering for?!" He hit the table angrily.

"I need it for a private number." Haifeng said weakly.

"PRIVATE?!"

"I will tell you when you get back home." She quickly hung up the call.

Chunlan put the glass on the table. "Was it Mother who called?"

"Yes." He pinched the area in between his eyebrows.

She sighed internally. In her past life, though her parents split, she never knew the reason behind their divorce. All she knew was that in less than in a year, Ke Mingze had become her new step mother.

That alone was a betrayal to her mother.

In this life, she had to make sure her parents stayed together till death do them part. She grabbed her purse and said "I have to get going now. See you at home."

Two weeks later,when she came home after working, she was surprised to see Ke Mingze. She was seated with her mother who looked distressed.
