Master Fu's lips twitched at his requests but he kept quiet as he watched Fu Chen walk out of the room.
He sighed. Nam Soon I have fulfilled my promise by getting him a good wife, it's time for you to fulfill yours and bless him from the heavens. His hatred for me is reasonable as I'll never be able to stone for my sins in ten lifetimes to come.

Xia Yu the subject of the matter woke up early the next morning blissfully unawares of all that transpired as she went downstairs to prepare breakfast for her father.
She was very happy, the heavens remembered her and smiled down at her, giving her a second chance to take revenge and protect herself.
She finished cooking and smiled at herself, she remembered that hot food in the apocalypse was a luxury that only a pinch of people could afford.
Xia Yu was lost in her own world not knowing that her adoptive father had been staring at her in shock and amazement.
The adoptive daughter he remembered was a timid, petite and ugly girl but the person he is seeing is a lot more beautiful and outgoing than his adoptive daughter.
Was this just his mind playing tricks on him? Maybe he drank too much.
Or was she always like this and he just didn't notice it.
Was she possessed or something?
Whatever the reason for her change could be is a blessing, he had been thinking of how to siphon money from his inlaws.
Now he didn't have to stress and scheme. It would be better if he could make more money from his evil daughter who has been nothing but bad luck to him.
He could just consider it as selling her off. Besides it's to her husband so he could not be sent to jail for receiving money and benefits from this marriage.
With this thought in mind he decided to put a pause of his abuse on her, so that his inlaws would have no reason to reject and cancel the marriage.
Xia Yu turned around and saw her adoptive father, immediately the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced with a cold expression.
Xia Junhao was stumped by her change in expression but just waved it off, they both hate each other so it's not new that she turns cold towards him.
" I can see that you have changed your appearance. That's good. It's best you change your attitude too. Trust me if you don't win over your in-laws I'll beat you till you die, I don't care whether you love the young master or don't want to get married. I am your father and my word is law. " He said and could not hide the excitement in his voice.
Xia Yu scoffed at his attitude, her father was really a materialistic man. All he ever thought about was money. If it's money he needs thats what he'll get. She'll let her in-laws take care of the money aspect and then sever ties with him.
" Yes. I'll try my best. I have a request, both families will be meeting in a week's time, I need time and space to culture myself and I can't do it here. So I want to stay at the second Villa. "
Xia Junhao thought about what she said, if she's staying alone then that means she would need money.
Xia Junhao was conflicted he wanted to earn and make more money not lose money. But if he didn't give her the money he'd lose his only chance to become rich.
With that Xia Junhao decided to bite the bullet.
" All right I'll allow you just this once but you must visit me every two days. Take this bank card and use it to treat yourself. "
Xia Yu was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to normal. She did not expect him to really let her go and even give her his bank card. But then again, he was a very calculative person. He must've thought about it and tried to curry favour from her.
Xia Yu looked at his hands which was stretched out to her and felt slightly complicated. She stared at the face of the man who had been nice to her in her early years but changed after the death of his wife. He caused her nothing but pain, physically, mentally and emotionally. He was one of the reasons why she had retracted into a shell as a child. She felt that if she limited her presence then maybe just maybe he would realize what he had done to her and apologize.
Xia Yu sneered at herself, it was just her wishful thinking and childish dreams that hurt knowing that it would never come true.
She never gain the love and acknowledgement she had always wanted from her father and that was why she foolishly fell for Yang Ling's trap. She yearned for love and Yang Ling knew that and used it against her. If only she wasn't stupid but clear-headed. A lot of events could have been avoided.
She pushed down her emotions that were threatening to break loose, especially that of longing and yearning for love. The gentle look on Xia Junhao's face made her emotions haywire.
No get it together Xia Yu. The gentle look is just an illusion, all he wants is what you can offer. He doesn't love you, all he loves is the money that would come because of you. Remember he is a vain, conceited and materialistic man.
Xia Yu took a deep breath with her head lowered and when she looked up her expression had gone back to normal. Cold and calm like his attitude did not affect her in anyway at all.
She took the card from him without a word and went upstairs, she picked up the backpack she used yesterday.
She stood in front of the house and sighed one last time before leaving without turning back.
