Chapter 107: Chapter 107: She Can Be Someone Else’s Pride

The July sky felt like a furnace, scorching the earth.

In this kind of weather, Yun Shifei didn’t feel like going out in the first place.

Now that she was injured, she was even less inclined to leave the house.

Old Mrs. Xu used to occasionally encourage her to go out for a walk, but she no longer tried to persuade her anymore.

She told Yun Shifei to just stay inside the house and not go anywhere.

Xu Yuejiao kept her word—she came to find Yun Shifei the next day and brought her some treats.

It was a small piece of cake, but Xu Yuejiao urged Yun Shifei to eat it quickly.

"It won’t taste good if it melts."

Yun Shifei took a bite and realized it was an ice cream cake. Cool and sweet flavors spread in her mouth.

Seeing Yun Shifei narrow her eyes like a little cat, Xu Yuejiao couldn’t help but feel smug. "Tasty, right?!"

Yun Shifei nodded.

Cakes like this with such distinctiveness were rare in this era, and Yun Shifei felt like she wanted another after eating it.

But Xu Yuejiao said, "This is too cold—don’t eat too much; it’s not good for your health."

"Then I’ll eat more tomorrow," Yun Shifei replied.

"Alright," Xu Yuejiao agreed without hesitation.

After agreeing, she found it odd. She hadn’t planned to buy Yun Shifei another one tomorrow—for eating cold food every day wasn’t good.

But looking at Yun Shifei’s adorable and well-behaved manner, she simply couldn’t bring herself to refuse her.

Xu Yuejiao reached out and pinched Yun Shifei’s cheek before telling her the gossip she’d heard about Xu Yi.

"Did you know? Xu Yi went home yesterday and got a good beating from her uncle. Ha! He hit her brutally and even said that if she kept hanging out with those punks, he wouldn’t acknowledge her as his daughter anymore. And guess what? Xu Yi said she’d rather die than leave that guy!"

That was just like Xu Yi.

In her past life, Xu Yi had been the same way. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married that man against everyone’s objections.
