Chapter 262 - Pending Danger

Today is her dad's 42nd birthday. She would have thrown a big party for him if he was alive. It's just so sad that this outstanding man died at such a young age.

Yang Zi stares at her dad's smiling face in the picture inside the enclosed transparent glass. She felt so teary when her eyes met the golden medal inside the enclosed glass.

The medal made her recall just how hard Little Yang Mi had practised her violin just so she could fulfil her dream of giving her dad a golden medal on his birthday.

"Dad, Mi Er practised until her fingers bled just so she could make you proud of her. I know that Mi Er might not have told you this so that you won't be sad. I know you must be very proud of her exceptional performance, right?" Yang Zi said as a drop of tears falls from her eyes.

The day she dropped by at the main Mansion and saw Mi Er's fingers bandaged, she had felt so terrible. She even scolded her for practising to the extent that her fingers bled. She only realised why she practised so hard when she gave her speech three days ago when she won the medal.

Tears had flowed from her eyes when little Mi Er gave such a touching speech about her father. So many people were moved to tears.

"I just came to realise that Mi Er has missed having you in our lives so terribly. To be honest, she has always missed you silently. She did not let mum and I know just how much she misses you because she was scared this will make us sad. Thinking back now, I feel so terrible for letting our little Mi Er go through such tough moments all alone," Yang Zi said as she cleaned her tears. She continues talking to her dad for a long time.

As she talks, she paid no attention to those who also came to visit their people there.

"Dad, thank you so much for everything. Those who murdered you might have thought that they were doing a bad thing by murdering you, but to me, it wasn't a bad thing. Your death gave me not only a new life but also a brand new family. It gave me a mum I have always yearned for all my life. Without your death, Yang Zi would have never existed not to mention designer M. I am alive and well now because you sent mum across my path that day I wanted to commit suicide," Yang Zi said fighting back the tears that were attempting to fall.

"Dad, although I never got to meet such a wonderful person like you, just know that I love you very much. I promise you, I will protect mum and Mi Er on your behalf. I will not let any harm come to them. Even though I have to put my life on the line, I will not let those who caused your doom to get through to Mi Er and mum. It's my promise to you and I will make sure I keep it," Yang Zi vowed with her right hand on her chest.

"Goodbye, dad. I know you must miss seeing Feng after the last time we visited. I will make sure to come with him next time," Yang Zi said, staring at her dad's beaming face on the picture for the last time. She made her way to the second floor where Yifeng's parents' urns were kept.

"Hello, Mum and dad, look at what I got for the both of you," Yang Zi said as she instantly brought out the flower she was hiding behind her back.

"After Feng brought me here last time without telling me we were coming to meet both of you, I felt so terrible that didn't bring any gifts with me," Yang Zi said soberly.

"Today mum I didn't forget to bring your favourite purple rose for you and dad I also did not forget to bring your favourite sunflower," Yang Zi said as she pinned the flowers she brought on the transparent glass.

"I have always wondered how exceptional our second meeting would have looked like if you both were alive. We would have chatted, played and laugh until her stomach hurts. You would have pampered me until Feng and Chen get jealous," Yang Zi said, smiling as she imagined herself chatting and playing all day with Yifeng's parents.

"Nevertheless, I am happy to meet the both of you again," Yang Zi said, forcing on a smile. Yang Zi afterwards started telling Yifeng's parent all the exciting events that happened during the period she last visited them. She could not stop beaming as she narrates everything to them. When she finally noticed her environment, she was surprised to see that everywhere will soon darken.

"Mum, I know being a mum is difficult, but I will try all my best to be a good mum to Chen. I will make sure he doesn't have a course to cry for a mother's love. Mum, that doesn't mean I will steal your spot in his life. None of us will forget you, so you shouldn't feel sad about what I said," Yang Zi said meekly.

"Please mum, watch over me and make sure I don't fail in my new role," Yang Zi said.

"I promise to love Feng until my last breath. I promise, I will help him heal his past wounds completely, just as he has helped in healing mine. I will also make sure no harm comes his way. I promise not to give him any course to cry. I will try my very best to make sure that his days are blissful all the time," Yang Zi promised seriously.

"Mum, dad watch over us and keep us far away from danger. When I come next time, I will make sure that Mi Er is with me. As you know, she has been so eager to meet both of you. She has a lot to tell you. She is just as beautiful and well mannered as me. You will surely fall in love with her when you meet her," Yang Zi said. The thought of Mi Er talking nonstop with Yifeng's parents made her smile.

"Goodbye, mum and dad. I will make sure to visit more often," Yang Zi said before staring at the couple's pictures for the last time. There is always this soothing effect Yifeng's mum face always gives her. Staring at her face right now, she could feel this soothing effect, which always assures her that everything will be alright.

As she walks out of the columbarium, she smiles satisfactorily, unlike her usual sad expression each time she visits.

"I never knew that talking to mum and dad could be so fun. I can't wait to take Yifeng along with me to visit my biological parents in the countryside soon," Yang Zi said as she ignited the car and drove off.

Yang Zi did not drive up to fifteen minutes before her car developed faults.

"Oh, goddamn it! What is wrong with the car," Yang Zi, who has become frustrated after struggling to restart her car for over ten minutes, cursed as she comes down from the car for the third time? Since the place was a lonely area where cars hardly passed, she did not see anyone to ask for help.

She wouldn't mind abandoning the car there if she had seen someone who could drop her off in where she could get a cab. Yang Zi now standing outside the car was dying to clean the sweat off her face but she dares not do that since her hands were dirty from having to touch the wires inside the bonnet of the car.

"Please let this be my last time coming out of this car just to fix it," Yang Zi mumbled a prayer as she entered the car. Staying in this dark place wasn't what terrified her. What scares her is the thought of bad people seizing the opportunity of the darkness to attack her unawares.

No matter how much martial arts she has mastered, she was certain she will not go unscathed if bad people seized the darkness to launch a surprise attack on her.

"Oh finally, I am saved," Yang Zi remarked as she heaved a sigh of relief. With the car working normally again, she wasted no more time on the lonely road. She drove gently for a long time. She only became relaxed when she reached the City where streetlights illuminated the road, giving the surrounding beautiful scenery.

"I can breathe normally once again. After today, I will never use this car again. I can't believe this damn car almost put my life in great danger," Yang Zi said, hitting the steering just to get over her anger.

A few minutes later, Yang Zi started noticing that there was something weird about the car.

"Am I hallucinating or dreaming that the car's speed is increasing on its own?" Yang Zi remarked as she gently pressed the brake to reduce the speed of the car. She was dumbfounded when she realised the brake wasn't working. Just to make sure it wasn't her imagination, she tried to wind down the glass, but that wasn't working too.
