CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 323: HOPE YOU CAN COME TO SEND HER ON HER FINAL JOURNEY

Munni still leaned against the headboard, the words Yisen had just said to her over the phone lingering in her mind.

An indescribable emotion flowed through her heart like the melting snow of early spring, warming her entire chest.

After a moment, she finally came back to her senses and reached out to turn off the indoor light.

The once-bright room fell into darkness, and she lay down, a gentle curve graced her lips as she gradually drifted into sleep.

Munni had a dream, in which she and an aged Yisen sat on a lawn, telling their grandchildren about their love story in their youth.

The afternoon sun was so warm, it made one unintentionally relax, and the grandchildren listening to their story couldn’t resist the sleepiness, falling asleep on their laps.

Yisen turned his head to look at Munni lying beside him, the golden sunlight falling on her still beautiful face. He opened his lips and softly said, "Thank you for being the heroine of my love story, and thank you for accompanying me through all the beautiful times."

Munni smiled warmly.

She did not finish this dream, as she was awakened by her phone on the bedside table at midnight.

She reached over to the bedside table, picking up the phone, and squinted at the unfamiliar number on the display. The number was not domestic; it seemed foreign.

Guessing that Yisen, who was in France, might have an urgent matter, she didn’t think much and swiped her thumb across the screen, answering the call.

"Hello." Her voice was light, carrying a hint of drowsiness.

A deep voice came from the other end, but it wasn’t Yisen’s, "Is this Munni?"

Munni furrowed her brows slightly, wondering who would call her so late, "Yes, who is this?"

"I am Zhang Chufeng." The person on the other end briefly introduced himself.

Munni was slightly stunned, Zhang Chufeng, wasn’t he her mother Zhao Yaru’s stepson? Why would he suddenly call her at this hour?

Unfond of Zhang Chufeng, her voice subconsciously turned a bit colder, "What’s the matter?"

Zhang Chufeng didn’t show any dissatisfaction with Munni’s cold attitude, he answered seriously, "Well, I wanted to inform you of something."

Even through the phone, Munni could sense Zhang Chufeng’s heavy mood on the other end.

An uneasy premonition rose in her heart, the brain that was originally sleepy and confused suddenly turned clear, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

"What?"

"Your mother Zhao Yaru passed away last night, she died of cancer."

Boom.

His deep voice entered Munni’s ears, but it was like a clap of thunder, exploding by her ear, leaving her at a loss.

Zhao Yaru passed away? How could it be!

"You... you... must be joking with me?"

Her voice involuntarily trembled, in her heart she pleaded that this was just a prank by Zhang Chufeng, or that he was taking revenge for her previous harsh words, and it wasn’t real.

"I’m very sorry to inform you so suddenly, her funeral is in five days, I hope you can come to send her off one last time."

Zhang Chufeng solemnly announced the date of Zhao Yaru’s funeral, his voice was like a cold wind, silently blowing out the hope in Munni’s heart.

Zhang Chufeng wasn’t joking with her, Zhao Yaru had really... passed away from illness.

This sudden realization finally plunged Munni into a state of collapse, she screamed hysterically, "How could it be possible! That woman appeared in front of me just a few months ago!"

Zhang Chufeng knew that suddenly telling Munni about her mother’s passing, she would find it hard to accept.
