    But Yu Dong's sympathy he was going to take because she was the only one who was willing to believe that there was some good left in him and that's all he needed at the moment, as long as he give birth to this child, he will be able to leave this house once and for all. 

    " Master, we are here." Xiao Shi held his hand out to help Jiang Fenhua out of the carriage. 

    Jiang Fenhua took the hand of his mer servant and stepped outside of the carriage. 

    " The silence was pretty annoying," said Jiang Fenhua as he looked at the back of the street that was completely silent. " If they were a bit quicker then I might have been able to leave this place a little sooner." 

    " Master please don't say that," said Xiao Shi as he quickly looked at the housekeeper who was staring at them with a disdainful gaze. " If someone hears you then it will be really troublesome. Please hold in for a few months, then you will be free." 

    Jiang Fenhua nodded as he walked inside the house with his Xiao Shi and didn't even respond to the fake greeting of the housekeeper. He knew just how much respect the servants of this house had for him, so there was no need for him to pretend in front of them as well, or was there? Even if there was, Jiang Fenhua was someone who was born with arrogance embedded deep in his bones, he will never lower himself to the point where he will have to suck up to a servant who looked down at him.

    If he did something like that then he will only be stepped on even more, so it was better to come out as arrogant than as someone who was easy to be bullied. 

    The housekeeper watched Jiang Fenhua go inside the house with his head high and spat on the ground, " Look at him, he acts like he still has some respect left. With his atrocious actions and shameful deed where does he gets the confidence from?" 

    " Hey, what are you doing?" The other servant who was in charge of noting down the visitors hushed her partner at once. " Don't be like that, all right? The old matriarch is at home today, if she hears you then you can kiss your job goodbye." 

    The housekeeper snorted as she turned to do her job again. 

    " Master," Xiao Shi said as he looked at his master, of course, they were still on the threshold of the house, thus, they heard everything that the housekeeper said but his master stopped him from saying anything.

    "Let's go in," said Jiang Fenhua with a smile as he raised his feet and walked inside the house. " I am pretty excited to give these strawberries to Old madam. I bet she will like them too." 

    Xiao Shi noticed how hard his master was gripping his hand but said nothing as he walked inside the house without saying anything to the housekeeper but he marked that petty and loud-mouthed housekeeper in his heart, that he will definitely teach her a good lesson, soon enough!

    " Fenhua! You are back?" Old matriarch Qiao smiled at Jiang Fenhua as soon as he stepped inside. 

    Only then did Jiang Fenhua realise that Zhou Ming was sitting there as well, and an awkward glint flashed in his eyes as he lowered his eyes. What if Zhou Ming thinks that he deliberately came here because he was here?  There were a lot of things that could arise because of this action of his that he did without thinking about it carefully. But Jiang Fenhua knew that there was no point in troubling himself with what was going to happen because it has already happened. 

    So, it was better to play the role that he has been playing all along—— the villain. 

    With that thought in his mind, he raised his head and smiled at the old matriarch before greeting Zhou Ming who as always did not receive his greeting except a slight nod and he did that too only because the old matriarch was sitting in front of him. 

    " I am back, grandma," said Jiang Hua as he motioned Xiao Shi to hand two boxes of strawberries to Old matriarch Qiao. " This is a little something that my friend gave me, please have some with milk or you can eat it alone as well. I liked it a lot, so I hope that you will like it too grandma." 

    Then he noticed Zhou Ming whose gaze was also locked on the strawberry boxes and said, " Brother Zhou, I brought a few for you too, do you want them?"

    Zhou Ming wanted to say no but then again he knew that Jiang Fenhua went to look for Yu Dong,  so he knew that these strawberries must be good as well. So, he nodded and said, " It will be too much of a waste if I don't take it, since you have brought them, I will take it as well." 

    " All right," stifling the smile that was almost etched on his face, Jiang Fenhua motioned Xiao Shi to hand a few boxes to Zhou Ming. " Miss Yu said that you can visit her any time and if you like these strawberries then she will keep a few boxes for you." 

    " Well, it's good to see that she has a conscience," said Zhou Ming before he paused and then in a low voice added, " Thank you."
