"Of course I want to, but he's in America! Hey, wait, you're not planning to bring Doctor Lucas here too, are you?"

Huo Yun was delighted at first, but then immediately objected, "I don't agree, I'm telling you."

The young married woman shook her head. "No, I don't have that kind of ability. What I mean is, Doctor Lucas has treated many patients, and you're one of them. So, are there others who feel the same extreme gratitude towards Lucas as you do? Don't you want to make friends with someone like that?"

Huo Yun: "Well... that could work."

Huo Yun's admiration for Lucas was a bit like a brain-dead fan's obsession with a celebrity.

Then, when two such brain-dead fans got together, they instantly felt like they had found a soulmate in life.

The young married woman said, "So, give me two days. I can find someone just like you to move into the apartment together, as long as you sign the agreement with me."

Rubbing his chin with his right hand, Huo Yun nodded. "Alright then, I agree."

The young married woman slowly let out a sigh of relief. She had really been afraid that Huo Yun would still refuse and decide to leave Alice Apartment.

If that happened, she would miss out on a huge opportunity to make money and level up!

After all, Huo Yun was the lab rat she had signed, and he had already survived three rounds. He was just one round away from qualifying for the Special Live Stream. All of that was performance credit.

Still, she also thought Huo Yun was a real oddball.

Neither money, including the allure of beautiful women, could tempt him.

Instead, the reputation of a doctor who had treated his depression easily made him change his mind.

The young married woman didn't sign the agreement with Huo Yun right away. She would wait until she fulfilled her promise to him first.

Therefore, she left Alice Apartment.

Parked right outside the main gate of Alice Apartment was a white Porsche 718. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This was her beloved car.

It had cost over 700,000 when she first got it.

If she hadn't become a contract signer, aside from becoming a high-class prostitute or snagging a sugar daddy, she really couldn't think of any other way in this lifetime she could afford to drive this kind of car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, she used her latest model Fruit Phone to navigate to a location.

Then she drove off.

She drove for a full two hours.

From Alice Apartment, through the bustling city center, to a rundown neighborhood.

From crowds of people to sparsely populated areas.

Finally, the young married woman drove to a half-demolished self-built houses area.

The young married woman's white Porsche looked incredibly out of place in this nearly deserted self-built houses area.

The young married woman knew why this self-built houses area was only half demolished.

Originally, this entire area was supposed to be demolished for industrial land use.

To build a factory.

However, the boss who was planning to establish the factory enterprise here ran off with his mother-in-law, absconding with the funds.

That's why only half of this area was demolished.

The white Porsche 718 finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

The young married woman didn't get out of the car. She just looked through the car window glass into the courtyard.

This courtyard was noticeably different from the other remaining courtyards.

There were signs of people living here. Besides that, there were many cats and dogs in this courtyard.

Most were local mixed-breed cats and dogs, but there were also some pet breeds.

These cats and dogs, seeing the unfamiliar white car at the courtyard gate,

all the cats scattered in fright and hid.

But the dogs all stood behind the courtyard gate, barking incessantly at the young married woman inside the car.

The young married woman waited, waiting for the owner of this courtyard.

But after the dogs had been barking for so long without anyone appearing in the courtyard, it suggested the owner was probably not home at the moment.

So, she continued to wait in the car.

While waiting, her phone rang.

It was a WeChat video call from her husband.

When she answered, the face on the screen wasn't a man's, but an adorable little girl with delicate, jade-like features and a very fair complexion.

The cute little girl on the screen asked in a sweet, delicate voice, "Mommy, when are you coming back?"

"Sweetie, don't worry, I'll be back before dinner. By the way, sweetie, what did you have for lunch?"

The young married woman smiled gently at the little girl.

"Instant noodles! With ham sausage and an egg!"

Hearing this, the young married woman's willow-leaf eyebrows clearly furrowed.

"Did Daddy make that for you?"

"Mhmm!"

After confirming, the young married woman's expression still showed only doting affection for her daughter on the surface, but inwardly, she was extremely dissatisfied with her husband.

How could he just feed their daughter that for lunch?

Their daughter is still young, still growing. He's so irresponsible.

"By the way, you're holding your dad's phone. Where is your dad?"

"Oh, Daddy is in the bedroom, with Auntie!"

"Your auntie is here too?"

"Mhmm, she came really early today, and then she and Daddy went into the bedroom and won't let me in."

"And then, Mommy, I heard Auntie yelling something really loudly, over and over. Mommy, what do you think Daddy and Auntie are doing in there?"

"Oh, they're discussing business. Don't disturb them."

Normal people, normal families, normal this and that.

You might think the vast majority of people or things in this world are normal.

But in reality, there aren't many people or things in this world that are normal.

Most people and things in this world are not normal.

Take the young married woman's family situation, for example.

The young married woman discovered, while she was pregnant, that her husband and her sister-in-law actually had this kind of disgusting, transgressive behavior that went beyond societal norms.

She was utterly shocked at the time.

However, she didn't react like other women might, who upon learning the truth would start cursing and screaming, causing a huge scene that wouldn't end until someone died or something.

She chose to ignore it.

She investigated quietly.

Later, after investigating, she found out that her husband and this sister-in-law weren't actually related by blood...

The sister-in-law was adopted.

But even if she was adopted, their years of familial affection had clearly taken a wrong turn.

Only three people in the world knew about their relationship: heaven, earth, and them.

The young married woman still chose to remain silent, pretending she didn't know.

She also had no plans to divorce her husband. They'd just muddle along like this.

After all, nobody is perfect.

For their daughter's sake, she wouldn't tear apart this facade.

"Mhmm, you be good at home. Mommy will finish work early today and come home to make you something delicious."

After chatting a bit more, the young married woman hung up the phone with her daughter.

The reason she hung up was actually because she heard the urgent buzzing sound of an electric scooter approaching.

A man around thirty years old, dressed like a delivery guy, was riding a black electric scooter.

He stopped next to her driver's side window and knocked on it with his right hand.

The window rolled down.

The young married woman gave the man in front of her a friendly smile.

"Are you Huang Kaiyu?"

The young married woman's voice was very sweet.

Huang Kaiyu's expression was cold. "Yes. May I ask what you're doing at my house?"

The young married woman smiled. "I have something good to discuss with you."

Huang Kaiyu: "Something good? What is it?"

The young married woman: "A way to make money."

Huang Kaiyu: "Make money? Wait, we're strangers, aren't we?"

The young married woman: "Not anymore."

"I know about your situation. You must be really short on money, right? After all, you're taking care of so many stray cats and dogs."

Actually, Huang Kaiyu had a distinct odor about him.

It was the smell of someone who had been around stray cats and dogs for a long time.

But the young married woman endured it, not showing any sign of abnormality at all.
