Lin Yushan froze, her face a picture of astonishment.
Good, he had guessed correctly.
"Did he ask you to do this?" Lu Zhanyu asked again.
"No, no, your uncle-in-law didn't mean that. He was prepared to bear it all by himself. It was I who couldn't bear to see him suffer, so I decided to help him," Lin Yushan hurriedly explained.
Worried that Lu Zhanyu might misunderstand, she added, "I didn't mean anything else, I just thought about what your mother said to me..."
"You're asking me because you know my mother would have opposed your decision if she were alive, right? You're still afraid, aren't you? Because that was the way out my mother left you, and it's also a sign of her care for you," Lu Zhanyu exposed.
Lin Yushan could not deny Lu Zhanyu's words; every time she thought of her sister's earnest advice, her resolve to sell her property to help Chu Heng wavered.
