Chapter 33 part 2

This chapter is for “The best actress is the darling of my heart”. Thank you so much for supporting me in Kofi. (2/10)

Yun Feiwu ignored Yun Junying’s text messages but couldn’t focus on reading the script either. Finally, she found a behind-the-scenes video clip from the filming of “Dark” on her phone and watched it repeatedly.

Until the second day of the new year, she hadn’t received another message from Yun Junying. However, as dusk approached, Yun Junying suddenly called her.

She had just finished cooking noodles and was about to eat when she saw the incoming call display on her phone. Suddenly, her appetite disappeared.

She didn’t answer the call.

However, the person on the other end persisted and called once, twice, thrice…

On the fifth attempt, she finally pressed the answer button and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, holding her phone.

Uncle Yun?

Finally, she said coldly, “Father, are you in Haicheng now?”

Her tone was distant, polite, and yet reserved, as if she were speaking not to her father but to a stranger she had never met.

Yun Junying seemed visibly taken aback.

He softened his tone, and his voice trembled a little, “Xiao Xiao, we were in the wrong in the past, but it’s been so many years now. You’ve become successful, financially stable; you should consider forgiving us, right? After all, we’re family, and I only have you as a daughter. We’ve come to Haicheng, hoping to see you.”

Compared to ten years ago, Yun Junying’s voice had aged considerably.

Recalling her childhood, Yun Feiwu realized that Yun Junying’s treatment of her wasn’t actually that bad—compared to her stepmother, Li Yue, at least.

He was just there alongside Li Yue, echoing her abuse, not willing to spend an extra penny on her, not really caring about her well-being.

That’s all.

Other times, Yun Junying’s temper wasn’t so bad, and he rarely lashed out at her like Li Yue did. Occasionally, he even sided with her. Like when she was entering middle school, Yun Junying was the one who made the final decision.

Still, she couldn’t bring herself to like him.

She sighed softly and said, “Father, if you have something to say, please say it directly.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

“Xiao Xiao, how can you say that? We haven’t seen each other in ten years. It’s normal for parents to miss you, right?”

She interrupted him, her tone flat, “Father, if you don’t get to the point, I’ll hang up.”

Her voice was calm.

Yun Junying was finally startled by her tone. Abandoning emotional appeals, he spoke directly, “Xiao Xiao, your younger brother is ill. He’s in the city hospital right now. Your Aunt Li and I, we thought since we’re here, we could take this opportunity to see you.”

She cast her eyelashes down forming a shadow as she pondered for a moment.

What does Yun Quan being sick have to do with her? Unless they want money.

However, in her memory, the Yun family wasn’t short of money, and spending lavishly on Yun Quan was common.

What would happen if she didn’t go?

She didn’t believe these people truly had any affection for her, nor did she believe they suddenly thought of her just because they came to Hai Cheng to see Yun Quan and decided to visit her.

Furthermore, after so many years, they had likely lost her contact information and might have forgotten about her altogether. Why did they suddenly reach out to her now?

She had a gut feeling that something was amiss.

Yun Fei Wu: 【Father, send me the address, I’ll be there within half an hour.】

Having said that, she hung up the phone and set out.

When she reached the bottom of the building, a message from Yun Jun Ying had already arrived, indicating that the address was at a nearby inn.

She didn’t drive. She hailed a taxi and headed there directly.

After getting off the car, she surveyed her surroundings. The inn was beside the city hospital, and several bustling commercial areas surrounded the vicinity. The rent for this prime location would undoubtedly be expensive.

She quickly located the spot Yun Jun Ying had sent and went upstairs.

Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Yun Jun Ying waiting at the door.

A few white hairs scattered across his forehead, and his posture seemed slightly stooped. Compared to ten years ago, he looked as if he had aged thirty years.

Yun Jun Ying was already somewhat old-looking, and later he had a son. Calculating it, he was now close to sixty years old.

“Xiao Xiao…” When he saw Yun Feiwu, he approached her with some excitement.

Yun Feiwu didn’t have the intention to exchange pleasantries. She nodded coolly, then walked straight into the room.

Li Yue sat on the sofa with a cold expression. Upon seeing Yun Feiwu, she forced a smile and said, “Xiao Xiao, you’re here.”

She gave her a fleeting glance, then surveyed the room before opting to sit on a chair pulled out from under the dining table.

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

Yun Jun Ying and Li Yue exchanged a glance, then seated themselves across from Yun Feiwu, giving a hesitant smile.

“Xiao Xiao, how have you been all these years? Back then, you just left without a word. It’s been so many years, and you didn’t even contact us,” Li Yue finally broke the silence, attempting to strike up a conversation.

Even though there was a subtly sarcastic undertone in these sentences.

Yun Feiwu looked at her calmly and replied with just two words, “Pretty good.”

Li Yue felt slightly uncomfortable under Yun Feiwu’s gaze.

She had never liked Yun Feiwu, especially when the little brat would talk back to her, resembling a wolf cub — quite the unpleasant sight.

As the stepmother, what was wrong with giving her own child a lesson? She couldn’t fathom where this brat got such a fiery temper every time, she would defy 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.
