Chapter 833: Foaming At The Mouth
Even though she had already acquired everything she wanted, she knew clearly that she had earned these things by deception. She was not confident in keeping her lies a secret, not until that person died. That was why she tried her utmost to keep the memento away from the Ye family and prevented anyone from discovering it.
She opened the drawer next to her and took out a small box.
If Lu Yi was around, he would have been able to recognize the box instantly. It was a box that Sun Yuhan always carried around. Her true identity was kept within the box, but she was not allowed to open the box.
A box that cannot be opened. Sun Yuhan snorted. Is there really a box that I can’t open? She opened the box and saw a simple letter that held the secret of her identity.
But, this was certainly not a Pandora’s box.
It was just a common narrative letter. She had opened it since as far as she could remember.
Nothing significant was written on the letter. It was just a woman’s babble, talking about how she was forced against her will by her circumstances as she was raped by an alcoholic. Together with the letter, she also left some cash, apparently as a gift for the adult Sun Yuhan. However, it was only a few hundred and was basically useless for Sun Yuhan.
She took out the letter and a lighter. Then, she set the paper, together with the box and the cash, alight. For her, the box no longer served any purpose. Moreover, she had no intention of keeping the money as she would not be in short of cash in the future.
However, it was undeniable that her irresponsible mother did give her a pleasant surprise. With this, she would be able to forge her identity almost perfectly. If Lei Qingyi did not learn about this event back then, the swap between Yan Huan and her would remain unbeknownst to everyone but herself.
I did the right thing. How can I stay unfortunate for my whole life? I knew that I would rise above others one day. Look, I’m going to live a comfortable and wealthy life. I’ll get whatever I want and shop without checking the price tags.
After the contents of the box were reduced to ashes, she felt as though her past had completely turned to dust too. The ashes vanished as the wind blew past, leaving no trace behind, just like her history that had been thoroughly wiped out.
She was no longer the poverty-stricken Sun Yuhan. From today onward, she would be the young lady of Ye family. Grandpa Ye had already registered her name under the Ye family. With the family’s connections, she would officially become a member of the Ye family in mere days. Consequently, she would be a part of the line of inheritance and rightfully share every asset of the household with Ye Xinyu.
She closed the door and left the room in her clicking heels. Meanwhile, there were still traces of of the burning smell in the room, but it was slowly dissipating. Seemingly, it would soon go away completely. Then, no one could smell even a bit of her past or see a word from the letter.
The letter would disappear alongside the burnt ashes. In the future, no one would ever find out about her secret.
The saga happened without Yan Huan’s knowledge. Feeling gloomy, she had been staying home. She spent all her time playing games and preparing meals with Lu Yi. In fact, she was rather hooked on her current lifestyle.
She enjoyed the way she spent her days now, having a partner to share her thoughts with everyday. She wished that the days to come would be carefree too, so that she could live happily in the future.
She rested on the big bed, turned on her phone and intended to read the news. But before she could do that, her phone rang.
It was a call was from Yi Ling.
Shouldn’t she be working at Linlang right now? Why is she calling me? Is she trying to cast me in another movie?
She placed her phone beside her ear and buried her face in the duvets.
“I don’t want to take up any role in either movie or advertisement. I don’t want to do anything.”
“Then, what do you want to do?” Yi Ling was almost driven up the wall.
“I’ll be a pig. A pig that only eats, sleeps and repeats.”
As if her words were not enough to irritate Yi Ling, Yan Huan added another mocking statement. Apparently, Yan Huan was trying to wear down Yi Ling’s bare patience until she foamed at the mouth.
Indeed, Yi Ling was on the verge of blowing up. She slammed her head on the desk as though she had completely lost her sensation of pain. I’ve never met an actress like her. She is wasting her beautiful face and her excellent acting skills. She is also missing a chance to show off the award she had just won at the International Film Festival.
“Yan Huan, can you be more aspiring?”
“I think I’m an aspiring person.” Yan Huan blinked as she continued, “Why do you think I’m a feckless person? Have I not won a national award? Have I not won an international award? Tell me now. What are the first and second highest grossing films now?”
Infuriated, Yi Ling’s face turned red.
At this moment, a hand rested on Yi Ling’s shoulder. “Listen to me. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in and breathe out…”
Yi Ling closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. After repeated attempts to calm her breathing, the wrath that was brewing within her had been significantly reduced.
Luo Lin sat down beside Yi Ling and took the phone over. She picked up the call and said, “Yan Huan, before you make any decisions, you should take a look at the recent news regarding the Ye family.”
“Ye family? What happened to the Ye family? Which Ye family are you talking about?”
“Who’s involved?” Yan Huan had more queries, but Luo Lin had already hung up on her, leaving Yan Huan considerably flustered.
On the other hand, Luo Lin handed Yi Ling a glass of water.
“Thanks. Otherwise, I would’ve flipped out then and there.” Yi Ling patted her chest. She was enraged, but the vexation came and went quickly. She had successfully recomposed herself, but her chest still hurts.
“Don’t worry.” Luo Lin gently knocked her temple with her finger, “It will be alright after you get used to it. Back then, Yan Huan used to irritate me like this too.”
Yi Ling replied, “How can she trifle with us like this?”
Luo Lin waved her hand. “That’s how it is. To communicate with Yan Huan, you need a strong heart. That woman is bold and reckless. She even ruined her supposedly bright future and created a great opportunity for Song Xihua that subsequently granted him more fame.”
Meanwhile, Yan Huan was still puzzled. She was still trying to figure out what happened with the Ye family. However, it had not come across her mind that the Ye family belonged to Lu Yi’s grandfather.
When Lu Yi returned, Yan Huan was playing games on her laptop.
He put down the things in his hands and took a seat beside Yan Huan. He took the mouse away from her as he said, “You got a negative score again?
