"I see, so your family is powerful in this country?". She asked.
"At the moment, yes, before, we are just one of the wealthy family here." Xu long Wei humbly said. He continues telling her about his life after she was gone. On that afternoon, the couple talked for a long time. Vera listens intently and can't help but be angry as time goes on. She hates his family. She can't help but feel pain for him.
