Chapter 3 The conflict between us


    Ever since that night, I thought of that man sometimes. "Why did he make love to me with the lights off?


    Is it because he''s ugly?"


    I flushed at my foolish wayward thoughts. I knew I was too bored. After three years of marriage, I was


    good at nothing, except for the idle dreaming.


    After the maid cleaned the vi, she came over to say goodbye to me whenever she was about to


    leave.


    "Mrs. Lu, I''ve already prepared the meal. I''ll leave if there''s nothing else." She said goodbye to me like


    this every time, and I only nodded and continued to stand on the balcony, looking at the beautiful


    scenery in front of me.


    Probably I was distracted. Only when my mother-inw stood behind me for a long time did I knew she


    was there.


    I turned and looked at her, and then with a smile on my face, saying, "Mom, why do youe here


    today?"


    Yu Liu had always been arrogant. She was always mocking my background. She said I was a model


    and came from a bad background.


    “Nance, Jerry is working hard every day, but you do nothing at home. Don’t you feel shame to enjoy all


    this?" Yu Liu taunted me every time she came over and every time I stood silently in the corner and


    epted her sarcasm.


    "I want to work, but Jerry won''t let me go out." I retorted.


    "Are you going to do your old job? Take off your clothes in front of everyone and show your body to


    them? If you don''t feel shame, my family will feel shame for you." Yu despised my previous profession


    again.


    I was angry and silently lowered my head. I knew my retort would have no use.


    "Look at you, you''re silent again. You always act like you''re being bullied by me." Yu was angrier when I


    was silent. Maybe she thought that I ignored her by not speaking. In fact, I really didn''t want to talk to


    her. In her eyes, I was just useless anyway.


    Yu used her index finger to poke my forehead and scolded, “My family doesn''t owe your family, but


    your family’s members are like debt collectors."


    "Mom, please don''t scold my family." I held back my anger and said.


    "Your family has been using my family''s money. The money your brother spent on buying a house and


    his marriage also came from my family. Why can''t I say that?" Yu shouted.


    Another reason I agreed to save Jerry''spany was that I wanted to pay back the money my family


    owe to Lu family.


    Then suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and looked at it. The caller was Vince Yi.


    I didn''t know this phone number, but I felt like I had heard this name somewhere. I hesitated for a few


    seconds, and just as I was about to answer it, Yu snatched it away. She look at me, and then smirked.

    She answered the phone and also pressed the speaker.


    "Where are you?" the man asked.


    My mother-inw replied, "At home."


    "Wait for me at the usual ce." He returned.''


    What old ce? I didn''t even know what he was talking about. Suddenly I remembered that night. Was


    he the man that had been there that night?


    He must have had his cell phone number in my phone while I was asleep. The man was smart. It was


    as if he knew I would definitely tear up the piece of paper with the phone number on it.


    I saw my mother-inw re at me hatefully. She threw the phone at me, hitting me in the chest.


    "How dare you have an affair now?" She growled.
