Chapter 5

　　Everything related to Hans Lin went into the trash can. 　　She took her dirty clothes to the washing machine, planning to wash them later. 　　After a while, her foster father David Zhong went home. 　　His brows were furrowed, and he looked like a cloud of gloom. 　　Anna poured a glass of water and handed it to him. "Dad, how are you?" 　　David Zhong sighed and sat on the sofa to smoke. 　　Anna could tell from how he was acting that the matter of the last project had not been resolved. 　　David Zhong had taken a risky project a while ago, and had taken a serious loss. Now, his company was in a difficult situation. 　　Anna couldn't help feeling a little worried, and went to her room. 　　Sidney Zhou sat next to her husband, grabbed the cigarette in his hand, and said anxiously, "Old Zhong, what's the matter?" 　　David Zhong shook his head. His dejected expression told her everything. 　　Sydney's face is pale. It's over, their home was going to be taken from them for sure! 　　"It's a pity that our family doesn't have such good luck as the Wang family next door!" David Zhong suddenly sighed. 　　He just ran into Wendy Zhang when he entered the community just now. Her daughter Chloe Wang was going to marry into a wealthy family and become the wife of Louie Chu! 　　The Chu family was the richest family in China! 　　"Mom, what's this?" 　　Just then, his son John Zhou walked into the living room from the balcony, holding the clothes in one hand and a necklace in the other. 　　Sidney Zhou was in a mess at this time and glanced impatiently, "What an ugly thing, it must have been given by Anna's cheap boyfriend, take it and throw it away!" 　　"Oh!" John Zhou curled his mouth, and was about to throw it in the trash can. 　　David Zhong’s eyes lit up and stopped. "Wait, show it to me!" 　　He thought that this necklace was very strange. He took it in his hand and examined it carefully. He recalled what Wendy Zhang had said downstairs. 　　"The Chu family is really not an ordinary family. To marry a wife, you have to have a token first. It's just a broken bronze necklace with the word Chu carved on the back. It's not worth anything, and yet to them it’s so important." 　　David Zhong turned the necklace over, and it had a small engraving at the back. "Chu," was the only thing there. 　　His eyes suddenly lit up. "That's it!" 　　"Old Zhong, what's up?" 　　David Zhong told Sidney Zhou about the necklace, and then talked about his thoughts. 　　"Now, only Anna can help us out!" 　　David Zhong stared at the necklace in his hand. 　　"Will she agree? Don't forget that she also has a beloved boyfriend!" 　　Although Anna had brought the necklace back, Sidney bet that this girl from the countryside never knew the meaning of this necklace. She may be gifted academically, but she was rather naive. 　　Hearing this, David Zheng’s eyes darkened, "There’s a way..." 　　After supper, Anna was in the room, counting all her money. 　　The foster father's company was in trouble, and she can't just stand by and do nothing. 　　It's a pity that she was only a student, not counting Hans Lin's unpaid 120,000, she only has more than 8,000. 　　Anna sighed, and thought to herself, she must find a part-time job. 　　Even if the foster father’s company goes bankrupt, she can at least have an income to subsidize her family and buy nutrient solution for her grandma... 　　Just then, David Zhong knocked on her door and came in. 　　Seeing Anna looking for a job, he said with satisfaction. "Anna, Dad knows that you're a good girl, but you don't have to worry about family affairs. Come, drink this glass of milk." 　　He handed her the glass of milk. 　　"I just want to help you." Anna drank the milk in front of her foster father. 　　David Zhong smiled with satisfaction, "Get a good night's sleep." 　　Watching him leave, Anna closed the door. 　　This night, she had slept very soundly. 　　When she woke up, she found herself on a huge soft sofa. 　　Anna sat up and massaged her temples. Last night, why did she get groggy after drinking the milk? 　　Looking around her, she realized she wasn’t in her own room. She wasn’t even in their living room. 　　The decoration was gorgeous and old-fashioned. Hollow carved windows, dark blue heavy curtains, decorated with golden tassels. 　　Where was she? 　　Anna was perplexed. Not far away, her mobile phone dinged. 　　She immediately took the phone and clicked on the WeChat sent by her foster mother Sydney Zhou. 　　"Anna, from now on, you are Mrs. Louie Chu. Be obedient. No matter what others ask, always insist that the token is yours! Remember, you are now his wife." 　　"If you're exposed, it will not only be bad for you, but also your grandma lying in the intensive care unit! If our family goes bankrupt, we can't afford that expensive medical bill!" 　　"Finally, I must remind you not to have any contact with Chloe Wang. From now on, you don’t know her." 　　Mrs. Louie Chu? Chloe? 　　Looking at the message sent by her foster mother, Anna suddenly felt a chill. They’d sold her! 　　Without her knowledge, her adoptive parents had sent her to the Chu family's home and had asked her to marry a man whom she’d never met before! 　　And their bargaining chip turned out to be her grandma's life!
