“You have a sweet mouth!” Venus said.
Kerry lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Do you want to have a taste?”
After hearing that, Venus blushed. She was both shy and angry. “What Ruyi said is right. You don’t
behave yourself as an elder.” Venus said.
“Gee, I’m in my home…” Kerry said. Then Kerry saw Henry take Xuan Zhao in from the corner of his
eyes. He stopped smiling immediately and said to Venus, “Xuan is coming.”
Venus turned to look. Behind Henry, a girl in a pink windbreaker approached. She looks beautiful and
slender.
It turned out that she is Xuan Zhao.
Unlike Kerry, Venus had no malice towards Xuan. In Venus opinion, it’s all Jingyan’s fault. She thought
Xuan is a victim. As Venus had a similar experience with Xuan, she was kind to Xuan.
When Xuan came up to them, Venus noticed that her eyes were red, as if she had cried.
“Sir Kerry, Venus, this is Xuan.” Henry said.
Xuan looked up and Kerry and Venus. “Hello, Mr Ye, Mrs Ye.” Xuan said politely.
“Hello,” Venus said with a smile, “What do you want to see us about?”
Xuan’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “I didn’t mean to disturb you both, but only you can decide this for
me.” Xuan said in a lovingly pathetic way.
Venus pitied Xuan when she saw that Xuan was as big as her daughter. “Just tell us what it is. Don’t
cry.” Venus said.
“You must know what happened more than a month ago. Although I like Jingyan Ye very much, I know
he doesn’t like me. So I treat what happened as a dream and I try to forget it. Today I find out I am
pregnant, but Jingyan asked me to abort the child.” Xuan said as she cried.
Kerry and Venus looked at each other in surprise. “You said you are pregnant?” Venus asked.
Xuan nodded and said, “Yes. I just know it today. Jingyan didn’t believe me and took me to the hospital
to do a check-up. The fetus is 35 days old.”
After hearing that, Kerry and Venus didn’t know whether they should be happy or worried. It would be
nice to have a grandson, of course, but Xuan is not their son’s cup of tea.
After feeling it’s pitiful for Xuan to stand in the wind, Venus walked up to Xuan and held her hand.
Venus drew Xuan to the bench and said, “Don’t stand as you are pregnant. Sit down and tell us what
you want to say.”
“Thank you, Mrs Ye.” Xuan said in a chocked voice.
“Don’t cry and wipe your tears away.” Venus handed Xuan a piece of toilet paper and said, “Your name
is Xuan Zhao, right?”
Xuan nodded.
Venus looked up at Kerry and then said to comfort Xuan, “Well, our Ye family has always been very
liberal. This is the business of you and Jingyan, and you are supposed to deal with it yourself. But now
that you’re pregnant, that’s another story. Just tell us first what’s in your mind.”
“I want to keep this baby. This is my first baby.” Xuan sobbed and said.
Venus knows what it’s like to be a mother. She held Xuan’s hands and said, “Girl, don’t be sad.
Although we are elders, we can’t make decisions by our own in this matter. Just stay here and let’s
discuss it in the evening when Jingyan is back.”
“Mrs Ye, I won’t abort my child.” Xuan took Venus’s hands and said firmly.
“You can rest assured that Ye family won’t bully you. We will give you a satisfactory answer.” Venus
said.
Xuan looked sad, but she was secretly pleased in her heart. “I heard that in Ye family, the person with
the most say is not the once famous Kerry, but the graceful woman with a kindly face in front of me.
Therefore, I will be one step closer to success if I gain her trust. Now it turns out that the rumor is true.”
Xuan thought.
Kerry looked down at Xuan, who was crying. He always though it was too much of a coincidence, but
he couldn’t say anything, because he had o evidence.
Xuan had been staying at Ye’s villa that afternoon. The maid brought her the freshest fruit. She saw the
gorgeous decoration, received princess-like treatment, and experienced the plush sofa. She finally
understood why so many women want to marry into a wealthy family. Having seen Ye’s villa, she
looked down upon on her small and humble two-bedroom apartment.
Xuan made up her mind that he would use this opportunity to stay at Ye’s villa.
Venus didn’t want Xuan to be bored, so she brought a cup of hot water to her and talked with her.
“Xuan, where are you come from?” Venus asked.
Xuan wanted to narrow the distance between herself and Venus, so she said lovingly, “I live in Sky City
and I met Jingyan when I was a child.”
“Really?” Venus said. Venus was not surprised to hear that, because she thought Jingyan could
impress everyone with his appearance.
“I was in primary school then. One afternoon after school I was bullied by some senior students, and
Jingyan passed by and fought off those students. I have remembered Jingyan ever since.” Xuan said.
Xuan didn’t want to hide her family background, because she knew the people of Ye family had
investigated her, so she said frankly, “Later, when I went to college, my father owed gambling debts.
One night, the creditor found me and asked me to pay for the debts. It’s Jingyan and his sister who
saved me. Then I made up my mind to study hard to work at Jingyan’s company one day. Finally I
made it.”
Venus had no idea that Jingyan and Xuan met before. From what Xuan said, Venus knew she is a hard
working girl, because it’s hard to be a employee of Yehuang Group.
“How about your parents?” Venus asked.
“My parents divorced years ago and I have been living with my mother. Two days ago, my grandmother
was ill and my mother went to the countryside to take care of my grandmother.” Xuan said.
Venus sighed and said, “You are a poor girl!”
Xuan smiled and said, “Mrs Ye, I don’t think I am poor. After all, I still have a good job and I can support
myself. But if I have to raise a child…” When she finished speaking, her smiled disappeared and she
looked worried.
Venus patted her on the hand and said, “Don’t worry. We won’t turn a blind eye to the child if you give
birth to it. After all, the child has the blood of Ye family.”
Xuan smiled and said, “Thank you, Mrs Ye. I am not afraid that I can’t afford to raise the child. I’m afraid
that I can’t take care of the child. It’s my first time to be a mother.”
“Silly girl, all mothers have to learn from knowing nothing. Besides, we can help you take care of the
child.” Venus said.
After hearing that, Xuan nodded and smiled at Venus gratefully.
