Opening her eyes again, Zhao Ya"Er realized that she had been crying. She wipes away her tears and takes a deep breath to calm herself.

"Ya"Er, everything will be alright now. He cannot hurt you anymore."

Even though she told herself this, a part of her can"t help but deny the truth. No matter where she goes, as long as they are breathing the same air, she will never get away from him.

No… if she wants to get away from him, she needs help. She will have to gather all her courage and tell her family about all the things he has done to her. Even if she doesn"t want them to worry, they are the only people who can help her.

As she told herself this, she did not know that Wei Hongyi"s fate had already been decided by the angel who saved her.

Outside in the living room, Yue Ling had pulled open the blinds and was now standing in front of the floor to ceiling window.

Although everything inside the penthouse had been replaced with new furniture in the color of light grey, she can still remember all the happy moments.

Just when the memories came flooding back to her, she hears the sound of footsteps from behind. She slowly turns around to look at the person and a gentle smile curls on her lip.

"How are you feeling?"

Zhao Ya"Er had barely entered the living room when she heard Yue Ling. She was slightly taken back by surprise as she had made sure her steps were incredibly quiet.

She did so because the view of Yue Ling standing in front of the window was too beautiful. With the sun rays beaming inside and outlining her figure, she looked like a real angel. So peaceful that she (Zhao Ya"Er) did not want to disturb the moment.

However, being caught in action, she continues on towards the living room and nods her head.

"Thank you for everything. I feel a lot better now."

Yue Ling stares at her friend in silence. She doesn"t pry Zhao Ya"Er about what had happened because she doesn"t want to remind the woman of that traumatic event. If Zhao Ya"Er decides to tell her, then she will listen.

As the two women move to sit on the grey couches, Yue Ling did not need to see a clock to know the time. From looking at the sun, she knew it was nearing afternoon.

She looks at Zhao Ya"Er and confirming that the woman is doing better than before, she was at ease.

"I"ll inform Manager Luo to send someone to get your things."

Zhao Ya"Er nods her head agreeingly. With what happened, she cannot go back to her bungalow alone. She can"t be sure as she doesn"t know whether Wei Hongyi is still there or had left.

As she thought this, she looks around the penthouse then her eyes land on Yue Ling. She couldn"t help but wonder how Yue Ling knows the old man. From Yue Ling"s tone, it was like the two of them are well acquainted. Not only that, to be able to stay in a penthouse in Jade Condos is another surprise.

Other than Peony Villa, everyone in Imperial knows that Jade Condos is the next best place to live. One should also know that only the wealthiest people can afford to live here.

She remembers that despite the 15th floor having four penthouses, only her cousin lived on this floor. So how did Yue Ling get access to one of the other penthouses?

Curious, she stares at Yue Ling like she was trying to read the woman. However, her curiosity grew more when she realized that the woman in front of her is just like cousin.

No matter how much one tries to read Lu Tian, one can never read what he is thinking and this moment, Yue Ling is just like that.

Thinking this, she slightly leans towards Yue Ling and decides to ask.

"Yue-Yue if you don"t mind me asking. How did you manage to get access to this penthouse?"

Quickly realizing that her question may have came out as an insult, her cheeks flush red and she waves both her hands out.

"Don"t misunderstand me. I mean, from what I know about Jade Condos, it"s a very expensive place. Even those who put in an application to live here have been denied, so…."

As she tries to explain herself, she abruptly shuts her mouth from saying anymore. She wanted so badly to strangle herself for saying what she said.

She made it sound like Yue Ling was some poor person who couldn"t afford to live in Jade Condos but was lucky because she won the lottery.

Seeing that Zhao Ya"Er had put herself in a tough spot, Yue Ling faintly chuckles. She knows that the woman doesn"t mean any ill harm and she understands what she (Zhao Ya"Er) is trying to say.

"When I first moved to Imperial, I lived here."

"…"

Zhao Ya"Er was cursing at herself when she heard Yue Ling"s sudden words. Her mouth slightly opens, and she stares at her sister-in-law with a dumbfounded look.

How can she forget that Yue Ling is not an ordinary person? The woman was clearly born with a silver spoon. She doesn"t own two, but three highly international companies and is the heiress to the fourth one.

Oblivious to her friend"s thoughts, Yue Ling reaches for the gold key she had set on the coffee table and held it out to Zhao Ya"Er.

"From now on, this place is yours. That is, if you don"t mind living here."

Truth be told, when she moved out to the new house, she didn"t know what to do with this place as she wasn"t renting it but had bought it. She even thought about selling it, but when she learned of her a.s.sistant"s broken heart, she had planned to gift this penthouse to him.

However, after witnessing Zhao Ya"Er"s situation in person, she felt it was best to give this place to her friend.

Besides, she isn"t 100 percent sure if Liu Shan is planning to move, but if he is looking for a new place, she will not hesitate to buy him a place just as nice as this penthouse.
