Chapter 82: The Plan failed
Yu Yu almost moves herself when she pretends crying. She is expecting Ko Chen to comfort her.
In her imagination, when Ko Chen knows her suicidal attempt and sees her waking up, he would have come to her, holding her tightly in his arms and caring her: “Stupid sweetheart, I just found out you meant everything to me when I almost lost you. Promise me, you will never ever leave me again.”
But what happened is quite contrary to her imagination.
Ko Chen doesn’t speak a word to her from the beginning to the end. Even worse, he doesn’t even take a look at her. She seems to be the air to him. He has never been so cold before.
Her calculated plan doesn’t work at all.
Yu Yu is nor reconciled to the failure. She sits up with a struggle, letting alone her weak body after waking up.
Wang Feng catches her action. She understands her purpose immediately. Mother knows daughter the best.
“Yu, you just woke up, what are you doing?” Wang Feng says dramatically. She turns her upper body a little bit and looks backward. It’s obvious that she wants others to hear her.
Duan Tsingfeng hears her. He turns his head, takes a look at the two and sneers.
Ko Chen still has no reaction.
Uncle Zhang walks into the room. He lowers his head and says reverently:
“Miss Yu, if you don’t feel very well, just tell me. Mr. Ko is busy with business. He can’t stay here and be with you.”
Even the fool knows this is just an excuse. Yu Yu still looks pale. She bites her lower lip. She bites too hard that her lip is broken and blood flows. It looks startling.
Wang Feng feels unhappy and waves her hand to Uncle Zhang, trying to get him out of here: “Now that Mr. Ko doesn’t have time, there’s no need for you to come. Anyway, no one cares about if we two are still alive!”
Uncle Zhang smiles awkwardly. He bows and leaves, without retorting.
“You!” Wang Feng is so angry that she stands up, points at the door and almost yells out oaths.
She doesn’t expect that Uncle Zhang closes the door when he leaves. Now there are just two of them in the room.
Her oaths are stuck in her throat. She feels uncomfortable not to say them out.
Yu Yu’s temper is as bad as her mom’s. She can’t bear with it. Her weak body reclines back to the bed, making a “bang” sound.
The sound scares Wang Feng. She turns back immediately and checks her daughter.
Seeing Yu Yu’s pale look, Wang Feng feels bad and angry. Her raises her eyebrows and wants to speak a few times. But she doesn’t speak anything. She just bends over to help her daughter to lie well and tucks her in.
Yu Yu’s eyes became red earlier before. She looks at her mom with tears in her eyes and says with a scratchy throat: “Mom, what should I do?”
Hearing the question, Wang Feng doesn’t answer. She looks still at her daughter for a while and then she says: “Don’t worry. Mom knows the best. I will definitely come up with an idea and gets you to marry him. You will have a fabulous wedding!”
Yu Yu hears her mom and wants to ask other questions. But her mom’s expression is very malicious. So, she takes back her questions and tears as well, and nods her head.
Wang Feng sits down beside her bed and pats her gently. She says in a low voice: “I thought we could get him by putting on a play. But it didn’t work and even has some counter-effect. It seems that he can be cowed by force but not be persuaded by reason. We need to use force.”
“How?” Yu Yu asks hastily. She is so eager to know that she accidentally pulls her upper body. The pain of gastric lavage doesn’t go away. She gnashes her teeth with pain.
“Just count on me. You need to take care of yourself first.” Looking at Yu Yu’s pale face, Wang Feng feels her heart breaks. “You are so stupid. I told you just to have a few pills. But you had too many! If people didn’t discover that in time, you would be in great danger!”
Yu Yu feels aggrieved. She blinks twice, pouts her lips and hems and haws:
“Dr. Duan Tsing Fong is very professional. I was afraid that he would tell I was pretending if I just had a few pills.”
“That makes sense…” Wang Feng says and then shakes her head, “We were imprudent this time. We must make a detailed plan next time.”
The two continue to discuss. The signal of a bug under the bed blinks. Their conversation is heard by Ko Chen and Duan Tsingfeng clearly.
“Yu Yu is so stupid.” Duan Tsingfeng raises his eyebrows and sneers. He walks to the wine rack and gets himself half glass of wine. He swirls the glass and says: “Only they two can come up with such cheap tactics. They watch too many dramas. Pretend to commit suicide…”
He sips the wine. He tastes the sweetness with his tongue. Then he feels the bitterness spreading all over. He squints and exhales, feeling comfortable.
Ko Chen doesn’t care about what Duan Tsingfeng has said. His attention is on the glass. He looks at the wine bottle on the table. As expected, Duan Tsingfeng takes his favorite wine again.
Duan Tsingfeng knows what Ko Chen is thinking about, although he doesn’t speak. Duan Tsingfeng speaks first: “We are bros. Mr. Ko, CEO of Ko Company, is reluctant to let me have his wine? People will laugh if they know this.”
Unable to out-debate, Ko Chen glimpses him with his fierce eyes. Duan Tsingfeng’s facial expression doesn’t change. He still smiles. And his smile is even bigger, which annoys Ko Chen.
Duan Tsingfeng speaks before Ko Chen asks Uncle Zhang to send him off: “Don’t talk about them. How will you deal with Tan Lin?”
Duan Tsingfeng stops behaving in a noisy and boisterous manner. He looks at Ko Chen seriously.
Thinking about Tan Lin, Ko Chen feels a harder headache. Her level is way higher than Yu Yu and her mother. Yu Yu takes the pills to commit suicide. Unlike her, Tan Lin will try all the methods to let Yu Fei take the sleeping pills.
Ko Chen’s eyes darken when he thinks about this.
“I can’t let her be hostile to Fei. If I have to, I’ll put on a play.”
Duan Tsingfeng wants to talk about the issue seriously. But he is amused by Ko Chen’s solemn statement. He jokes: “Why are you speaking so tragically. People will think you want to sacrifice yourself if they don’t know the truth.”
“Tan Lin is much harder to deal with than a so called ‘enemy’. ”Ko Chen sighs and puts his hand on her forehand. It seems that he has no idea what to do.
When the two are talking, someone knocks the door of the study. Uncle Zhang opens the door and comes in. A person follows him.
Duan Tsingfeng gives a look at Ko Chen. He seems to sneer at him and tell him: “Look, talk of the devil and he is sure to appear.”
