Fangfang's eyes were full of calculation. Fifty thousand yuan was nothing to her. In fact, what she valued more now was Zhou Hao's property. Although it was an old, rundown apartment, it was worth quite a bit.
If she could get Zhou Hao to give her this apartment, she would sell it and get at least a few million. Then she would immediately leave this godforsaken place and start over somewhere no one knew her.
Zhou Hao knew nothing of Fangfang's plan. He was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father, showering Fangfang with gifts and supplements every day.
Fangfang was indeed pregnant, but the child was not Zhou Hao's at all. Watching this foolish man fuss over her day and night, she felt a peculiar sense of accomplishment, believing her acting skills were superb to have fooled a man so thoroughly.
Yun Buji regarded Zhou Hao as his best brother, but his recent behavior had truly disappointed him. Zhou Hao had almost been sent to prison by that woman named Fangfang, yet he still trusted her unconditionally, showing no hint of suspicion.
Seeing no way to change Zhou Hao's mind, Yun Buji decided to focus on his studies instead of bothering with him.
On the weekend, he received a call from Zhou Hao, inviting him over for a casual dinner. Yun Buji initially didn't want to go, but considering their decade-long friendship, he couldn't abandon Zhou Hao, who would likely need his help if trouble arose. So, he agreed.
When Yun Buji arrived at Zhou Hao's place, Zhou Hao wasn't there, only his grandfather and Fangfang. Yun Buji, disliking Fangfang, went to the bedroom to see Grandpa Zhou. Grandpa Zhou's health was deteriorating, with various ailments plaguing him, but he refused to go to the hospital, knowing his time was limited.
"It's Yun Wa who has come," Grandpa Zhou said, using the nickname he had given Yun Buji.
"Grandpa, it's me. How are you feeling lately?" Yun Buji was deeply grateful to Grandpa Zhou. When he was young, with no one to rely on and close to starvation, it was Grandpa Zhou who gave him food, saving his life.
Therefore, for this kindness, no matter what, Yun Buji could not abandon Zhou Hao.
"I'm about to leave this world, but I'm worried about Xiao Hao. Yun Wa, Xiao Hao isn't as smart or sensible as you. When I'm gone, please look after him more. This is my plea to you," Grandpa Zhou said.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Zhou Hao and I are brothers. I will never abandon him," Yun Buji comforted him. "Besides, as long as you take good care of yourself, you'll live to be a hundred."
Grandpa Zhou smiled and said, "I don't want to live that long and be a burden to Xiao Hao and you. As long as you two are doing well, I'll be at peace. Yun Wa, for my sake, please be more understanding towards Xiao Hao."
"Grandpa, I understand. Please rest assured," Yun Buji said, comforting the old man.
Grandpa Zhou's legs were now inconvenient, and he couldn't leave his room. He ate, drank, and relieved himself in his room, which had a strong odor. However, Yun Buji didn't mind at all and even helped to clean up.
As he was carrying things to the bathroom, Fangfang followed him into the washroom. Yun Buji frowned and immediately questioned, "What are you doing?"
"Yun Buji, I know I can't compare to your beautiful rich schoolmate, but I'm not that bad, am I? Why do you dislike me? Between men and women, it's just playing around. Why must you be so serious? It's so boring," Fangfang said with a smile, moving closer.
