Chapter 33 part 1

This chapter is for “The best actress is the darling of my heart”. Thank you so much for supporting me in Kofi. (1/10)

Xia Shutong was lost in thought, and Xia Cha had already talked a long way ahead.

“… Earlier, didn’t Zhang Sheng invite you to a charity banquet? I heard that due to some policies, the banquet has been postponed to the end of March. Many people will attend, including many young men who started from scratch. Take your time to choose, you might meet the right one there.”

After circling around for a while, he finally revealed his ultimate goal.

Xia Shutong was still lost thinking about Yun Feiwu, absentmindedly replying, “Okay.”

“Ah…” Xia Cha slapped his hand in frustration. “Tong Tong, your habit of daydreaming when you’re unhappy, why haven’t you changed it? If you’re not willing, Grandfather won’t force you. Grandfather is very understanding.”

“Okay, I know,” She replied with a slightly playful tone, not fully back to her senses yet, managing to cheer up her Grandfather.

…

On the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Yun Feiwu slept until nearly noon. When he woke up, she found her phone screen covered with countless New Year’s greetings.

Yun Feiwu casually made a bowl of noodles. As she ate, she replied to the messages one by one and sent red envelopes to some friends she had known from Starlight.

Once she had replied to most of them, she absentmindedly opened Xia Shutong’s chat box, and a soft smile gradually appeared on her face.

They had spoken on the phone last night and made plans to visit the aquarium.

She felt so happy.

In her memories, she hadn’t had any contact with Xia Shutong during the New Year’s holidays for a long time.

She had been busy with work in previous years, often spending New Year’s Eve on set. On Xia Shutong’s side, there had been some issues, making it inconvenient for her to make calls. At most, they exchanged a few text messages or she received her New Year’s gift belatedly, almost at the end of the Spring Festival.

A tender smile formed at the corner of her lips as she playfully swung her legs while sitting in the chair.

She was already looking forward to their date on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

After lunch, she planned to read the script for a while. She had just picked up her phone to check the time when her smile faded.

A message from an unfamiliar number had come in:

【Yun Xiaoxiao, we’ve arrived in Haicheng. We need to discuss something with you. When can you meet us? — Yun Junying】

Yun Feiwu stared at her phone screen, and as she raised her gaze, her expression turned cold.

Yun Xiaoxiao was her former name. She had changed her name at a young age, and except for a few people at home, almost no one called her that.

And Yun Junying was her father.

Yun Feiwu lay back on the bed, clutching his phone, and stared at the ceiling for a while. Finally, she deleted the message without responding.

She hasn’t been in contact with her parents for nearly a decade.

During the time when Yun Feiwu had just escaped from home with her household registration, she was a bit afraid that her parents might catch her and beat her. But it didn’t happen. She left, and not to mention her stepmother who used to be hysterical and detested her to the extreme, even her biological father showed no concern for her.

It was as if she were just a stray dog kept at home, easily discarded without much concern.

As she grew older, she pondered why Yun Junying didn’t come to find her back then, and eventually, she figured it out: it was about money.

Before she slipped away, she put all the earnings she had made at the time in their room. Roughly calculated, it was several times the cost of raising her for thirteen years – not a small sum.

Although the Yun family was not poor, in the small county of Yun City, they could be considered quite well-off. However, the Yun family’s money was never spent on her.

Her younger brother, Yun Quan, always had the best of everything since childhood. Yun Junying even hired several tutors for him. But Yun Feiwu was different. At home, she was like an ignored weed, and any money spent on her was always minimized.

When she was nine years old and fell ill with a fever, Yun Junying was outside playing cards, while her stepmother, Li Yue, locked her out and pretended not to hear her knocking.

It was the midst of winter, and she was nearly drained of all strength from the cold. Helpless, she found a corner by the roadside, huddled up, and drifted into a heavy sleep.

If Xia Ruan hadn’t discovered her and brought her back home to take care of her, she might have died silently then.

At the age of twelve, after finishing primary school, Li Yue didn’t want her to continue her education. It was Xia Ruan who managed to find a way and eventually convinced Yun Junying to let her keep studying.

Subsequently, she joined acting groups, signed with companies, changed her name, and ran away from home, it was all because of Xia Ruan.

If she had been alone, she wouldn’t have reached this point. She might have silently died in that cold and heartless home at any time.

After all these years of no contact, she didn’t know how they had obtained her current contact information or why they suddenly reached out to her.

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every donation there would be an extra chapter that would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
