Chapter 71: Spooky little thing
Chapter 71: Spooky little thing
After ending the mysterious call, Wang Yu Yan sighed nervously.
She looked out of the window and began thinking.
Soon she was going to meet her maternal family, the Feng Family.
Her mother had told her about her father, Feng Kang.
According to her mother, he has always been a strong, proud man. He was able to develop the great Feng Corporation from just a scratch. He was a well-known iron man in the business industry.
But he was a sensitive person inside. He was also right to get angry at his daughter for running away with her lover, just like that.
But his anger exceeded the limit when he disowned her.
According to Wang Yu Yan, his pride should not have surpassed fatherly love.
But, it was a matter of the past. What happened had happened.
There was no point in digging past graves.
Her mother never thought badly of her own father, so why would she?
Yes, she did not have any hatred for her maternal family and according to Wang Yu Yan, she didn't have the right to harbor any kind of feelings towards the Fengs.
But then, Wang Yu Yan could not totally be feelingless towards them.
Somewhere in her heart, she had anger towards Feng Kang. The anger of being so ruthless towards her own daughter. The anger for letting his pride surpass his fatherly love towards her mother. The anger of not trying to find her own daughter after taking such a rash decision.
But then again, She does not exist for them and they shouldn't exist for her also.
Wang Yu Yan did not have any plans of going to Fengs, it was the same eight years ago and it will be the same in the future.

But now, Wang Yu Yan did not have any choice but to show her face to the Fengs.
Yes, the sentence of the man was right, Wang Yu Yan was still not ready to face her maternal family.
She was afraid that if she blended with the Feng's, her past would definitely find her which she cannot afford at all costs.
Wang Yu Yan sighed again, closing her eyes as she laid back in her seat, trying to calm the storm within her.
------------------
Soon, she reached Dream Heights.
She opened the door to her condo. The condo was totally dark. Seemed like Wen Mei was going to be late tonight.
Recognizing the absence of Wen Mei, Wang Yu Yan went into her room and closed it shut. She walked into her closet and opened it.
She removed the pile of clothes from the right-hand corner of the closet.
She then took out an ordinary-looking black briefcase from it. Taking it out, she pressed her thumb on the corner button.
Other people would think of it as a normal accessory to the briefcase but it was a fingerprint sensor.
After giving her fingerprint, automatically the upper covering split into two, and a computer-like screen was opened.
A code appeared with a heading,
'Please crack it to get the key'
Wang Yu Yan sighed.
She detached the screen from the briefcase and started to type, with her fingers dancing gracefully over the keypad.
After ten minutes, the code finally cracked.
The 'key' had appeared, to be more precise it was a one time password.
Wang Yu Yan attached the screen back to the briefcase and entered the password.
Kutch.
The briefcase was opened. Opening it she saw a bunch of her childhood photos.
In those photos, she was seeing herself, the young, naive Wang Yu Yan smiling without any worries. Running and playing, like a free soul.
But never in her millions dreams her younger self would've thought the future would be so different. Her eyes teared up in an instant. But she held back her tears.
Cornering the childhood photos, she took out a black box.
Staring at the box with a dark look, she gritted her teeth.
Then again she unlocked the black box with the same procedure as the briefcase. Opening it she took out a book.
The cover page was outlined by a thick strip of gold. In the middle, an ornamental design was made with the use of more gold. The book shined because of the gold design on it.
" Spooky little thing! ", Wang Yu Yan murmured.
She had in her hands the heirloom of her family. She stared coldly at the book. The book was the reason for all the grief in her life. The book was the biggest curse ever bestowed on anyone.
But it was her helplessness that she couldn't destroy or harm it anyway.
Gathering courage, she flipped it.
On the very first page, there was a bloodstain, and that belonged to her father.
The tears no longer held back, started flowing down her cheeks.
Back then, this book was kept in the locker of her Grandpa's private study.
Her Grandpa loved this book more than anything else. He often told her that the book can make its owner invincible.
But after gaining a lot of prestige from this illuminating book, it soon turned out to be a profanity.
Her Grandpa and Daddy died saving and passed it to her to protect it with all her might.
She had various feelings attached to this book: attachment, memory, and hatred.
She closed her eyes, calming herself.
She then packed up everything the same as before. And re-put the briefcase in the deepest corner of her closet covering it with a bunch of clothes.
This was a curse that shouldn't ever be taken out. Its place should always be in the deepest corner.
She then quickly took a shower to relax and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Li Wei's mansion
Li Wei entered his room, after a long and tiring day. Throwing the coat, and loosening his tie, he sat on the sofa, all exhausted.
Though he seemed calm from outside the whole day, his mind was a mess.
All because of a girl.
Wang Yu Yan
From the moment this girl had taken a step in his life, his life was a mess. It was a mess that was sweet but irritating at the same time.
He had always made other girls scream and want him but for the first time, he was at a disadvantage.
Who would've thought that the almighty Li Wei would go crazy over a girl?
The hospital incident was a perfect example of this.
He had made a fool out of himself there and in front of Mu Shufen.
He even logged inside a website as a girl and asked experts why he was so oversensitive when it came to that person.
This was ridiculous.
And what's more ridiculous was the reply which was telling him that he was in love.
Love?
Thinking of this, Li Wei scoffed loudly.
