Chapter 17 – Don’t Even Dare Think About Remarrying (2)
When she had first transmigrated some three years ago, she was in bed with Fu Sinian. She had no idea what had happened but they had an intimate moment. At that time, Fu Sinian was already at the top of the financial pyramid, and the Yu’s was a mid-level corporation what was facing bankruptcy in the economic downturn.
When Fu Sinian and “Yu Duo” were having an intimate relationship, he was in the running for the top 10 young entrepreneur. His reputation would directly affect one of his business proposals and he didn’t want to risk any potential issues later on. He weighed his options and finally just married Yu Duo.
After he had married her, Fu Sinian won the title of top 10 young entrepreneur, and he successfully won the bid. That had led his business to reach new heights.
After that, the Yu’s businesses had also relied on Fu Sinian’s success, and reputation and grew bigger and stronger.
Even though she was Yu Duo’s mother, Fu Sinian didn’t know too much about her. The most impressive memory he had of her was after his intimacy with Yu Duo, Mrs. Yu cried hysterically while hugging Yu Duo.
A girl’s virginity was very important, at least it was so in the eyes of Mrs. Yu back then. Even though it was his first time seeing Yu Duo, but thinking about their crazy night, he didn’t mind it that much. In fact, he kind of enjoyed it. Not to mention that his reputation was on the line at the time and he couldn’t take any chances. As neither one of them were married, he figured it was best for him to just marry her.

Surely the marriage wasn’t based on love, but love was never something important to Fu Sinian.
Yu Duo was obedient and drama-free, and never caused him any trouble. That was enough for him.
Mrs. Yu smiled at Yu Duo and said, “Mom’s here to check on you.”
Yu Duo knew that nothing good could come out of her mother’s visit so she said to Aunty Lian, “Aunty Lian, no need to wait on us. I will go chat with my mom in my room.”
“Okay!”
Inside the bedroom, Mrs. Yu sat on the couch and look around the spacious room.
Yu Duo sat across from her and asked calmly, “Say, mom, what brought you here today?”
Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter sitting across from her and got up to sit next to her. Holding her daughter’s hand intimately, she said, “It was such a tragedy, of course I have to come and check on you. Now there’s only you and Aunty Lian left in this house?”
Yu Duo nodded.
“Why don’t we do this? Why don’t you come home and stay with mom for a while?”
Back to the Yu’s?
Yu Duo shook her head, “No, that’s alright. I am fine here.”
She could count the number of times she had seen Mrs. Yu in the last three years with just her hands and feet. She was much more familiar with her current living situation, it’d be much more awkward to go back to the Yu’s.
(T/N: Counting with hands and feet – Chinese saying. Meaning less than the number of fingers and toes added up.)
Mrs. Yu casted Yu Duo a glance and said, “Oh, child. There’s just you and Aunty Lian here, you don’t have anyone to talk to. If you come home, at least I can chat with you from time to time. Why do you insist on staying here?”
“Sinian hasn’t been gone for that long, I....”
“Oh you. Why are you being so stubborn?” Mrs. Yu sighed, but she dropped the subject. Taking a look at the door, she asked softly, “Now that Fu Sinian was gone, how much was your inheritance?”
Yu Duo didn’t look very shocked; she knew that Mrs. Yu would bring up this subject sooner or later, “I am not sure.”
“How much is you are not sure? Duoduo, Fu Sinian has no parents or siblings. Of course his lawyers would have given you all the details. I am your mother, can’t you at least tell me?”
“No, we have only had the funeral for Sinian, but we never found his body. As far as the law was concerned, he was missing and not dead. The lawyer said that we will have to wait three more months. If we still haven’t found his body, then I can apply at the court stating that he was dead.”
Mrs. Yu was enlightened, “Oh, I see!”
Yu Duo took a look at Mrs. Yu, looking visibly disgruntled, “Mom, Sinian had brought us enough wealth over the last few years already.”
Mrs. Yu made a “tsk” noise, “Duoduo, who’s side are you on? So what if I asked about the inheritance? It’s not like I am going to take it from you.”
