"Even though your uncle abandoned you and your sister, he is still your family after all...,"

"Mum, you and Mi Er are the only family I have and I am satisfied with this. And like you said, my uncle heartlessly abandoned two female teenagers with nowhere to go so, why on earth should I bother finding someone who never cared about my wellbeing?" Yang Zi asked, keeping her temper in check.

​​

"After my sister died, I have always thought that my sister wouldn't have died so painfully if our uncle did not leave us behind back then and my opinion still hasn't changed until now. She wouldn't have met and fallen in love with a jerk like Zhou Yixian and I wouldn't have had to endure the pain of watching my sister die in my arms. He is partly at fault for all the pain I went through all these years so I don't care about him...,"

"But Zi Er, they might be desperately searching for you. Just think about it, with your sister's murder redressed and the perpetrator punished, I am certain they must be searching everywhere for....,"

"Mum, I am happy with my current life. Thinking about what uncle did, always made me recall the past so please can we not talk about them?" Yang Zi said seriously.

Yes, she has the means to search for her uncle and his family but she doesn't want to do that. Before she wished that he was just dead for everything he did and until today her wish hasn't changed.

Everything fell apart for them the day he left Yang Zi and her sister after their grandma's burial. A month after the burial, they had learned that he and his family had flown abroad. Thinking back now, if not for the scholarship both she and her sister won, they wouldn't have been able to go to school.

Her uncle was the cruellest person she ever met and if perhaps he was alive, it would be very hard if not impossible for her to forgive him.

"Ok, I won't mention this anymore but just take out time to think about this, Ok," Mrs Yang said. She turned to stare at Yang Zi when she did not respond. She was surprised to see that the bag on the centre table caught her attention.

"Mum, that thing over there looks like cake or am I wrong?" Yang Zi asked, momentarily turning to stare at her mum.

"How on earth did you know that it was a cake I brought? Should I call you a sorceress now?" Mrs Yang asked in a playful tone.

"Mum, don't you know whenever a chocolate cake is present especially my favourite chocolate cake, it always calls my name?" Yang Zi asked, imitating how the chocolate cake always called her name. Mrs Yang couldn't resist laughing seeing her funny expression.

"You are so naughty," Mrs Yang said, controlling her laughter. She went to bring the cake afterwards.

"It looks yummy, I have always known that it is only mum who treats me the best in this world...,"

"Even better than Feng treats you?" Mrs Yang asked in a playful tone.

"Yes, even better than Feng treats me," Yang Zi said, smiling broadly. Her smile was so contagious, Mrs Yang could not help smiling along with her. Seeing her favourite delicacy right in front of her, Yang Zi gulped hard.

The moment her mum brought the piece she had cut close to her mouth, Yang Zi who had been craving cake since the last time Yifeng brought one for her opened her mouth.

"Mum's cake tastes the best," Yang Zi said, giving her mum thumbs up.

"I know but eat it slowly or you are gonna get choked," Mrs Yang cautioned in a worried tone.

Seeing her eat the cake this way made Mrs Yang recall when she first bought a chocolate cake for her newly adopted daughter after she found out that chocolate cake was her favourite of them all.

After presenting the cake to the usually downcasted Zi Er who hardly smiled back then, she had rushed the cake like she hadn't eaten it before. The way tears flowed from her eyes while she was stuffing herself with the cake had made her heart ache terribly.

It was after a long time that she got to know why Yang Zi acted that way. The day her sister got shot, they had both gone out to buy her favourite chocolate cake to celebrate her birthday before Zhou Yixian and his friends attacked them. She couldn't hold back her tears while eating the delicious cake when she recalled that buying her birthday cake contributed to why her sister got killed.

"Mum, you look lost in thoughts, are you Ok?" Yang Zi asked after she swallowed the remnants of the cake in her mouth.

"Nothing is wrong. It's just that seeing you eat the cake so deliciously made me recall the first time I presented a cake to you. I can still recall how you rushed the cake before Nanny could stop you," Mrs Yang said beaming. The Nanny had wanted to scold her for ruining the cake but she had signalled the Nanny not to disrupt her.

"Mum, how could you bring up that incident? I am so glad that it is just the both of us because. I know that the others would have teased me if they know about how I had embarrassed myself in your presence back then," Yang Zi said beaming. From her expression, her mum could see just how happy that memory made her.

For her not to have broken down in tears after I mentioned this incident, I can see her wounds have finally healed up. All this is only possible because of Feng. He has done what neither I nor any other person could have done. I am so proud of him.

Mrs Yang thought, smiling happily.

"Don't be too overjoyed because I am gonna tell them about it. I can't wait to see how naughty Jin and Wen Min will tease you," Mrs Yang said playfully.
