Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Disappear Forever

Today’s dishes were all Yun Shifei’s favorites, and Xu Ya kept picking food for Yun Shifei.

Meanwhile, she was asking Yun Shifei about her well-being.

She asked how things were at Old Mrs. Xu’s place and if there was anything interesting there.

Yun Shifei answered Xu Ya’s questions one by one, thoroughly and without omission.

For some reason, Xu Ya felt that the distance between her and Yun Shifei seemed even greater this time.

Whatever she asked, Yun Shifei simply replied politely, without any trace of the feeling a mother and daughter should have.

In that moment, an inexplicable sadness welled up in Xu Ya’s heart.

She still remembered how Yun Shifei used to try hard to get close to her.

She wondered what kind of pain Yun Shifei had endured to become like this.

Xu Ya couldn’t bear to think about it.

Because the mere thought of it made her heart ache unbearably.

Some things, once lost, are impossible to retrieve, and it’s already far too late.

Yun Shifei, sensitive as ever, naturally sensed the complexity of Xu Ya’s emotions, but she no longer had the energy to deal with them.

She could only cherish those who liked her; even if it was her biological mother, if she didn’t like her, she couldn’t keep trying to please her over and over.

The next day, Yun Shifei brought the gift she had prepared and went to find Cheng Lie.

She knocked on the door of the Cheng Family’s home.

Zhao Haishuang opened the door and was momentarily stunned when she saw Yun Shifei, as if in disbelief: "Shifei?"

"Hello, Auntie."

This young girl—how had she become so beautiful in such a short time?

"Are you here to see Xiao Lie?" Zhao Haishuang quickly regained her composure and asked.

Yun Shifei nodded.

"Come on in," Zhao Haishuang said warmly.

Zhao Haishuang was still the same as before, glamorous in makeup, her appearance refined and polished.
