Except that this apartment wouldn’t be big enough. Cheng Huan looked around the place and set a goal for herself: to earn the down payment for a two-bedroom place within three years

If her goal was to save up enough for down payment in three years’ time, she needed to find a job

In addition, the original owner was a college dropout. With just a high school diploma, it would be hard to find one

some looked down on Cheng Huan or belittled her but she just ignored it and swallowed her pride

Eventually some nice old women hired Cheng Huan to work at her cafe

The old women was starting to get old and none of her grandchildren or children wanted to take over so she been running it by herself

Cheng Huan felt bad for the old women who was clearly being mistreated by her family

They didn't even call when she had a high fever and had to go to hospital

The old women even promised to give me the cafe if she died but Cheng Haun declined not wanting to take on the responsibilities of caring for this women or paying for her medical Bill's

Cheng Huan had herself and XingXing to take care of

Luckily the aunt babysit XingXing when she was working then the old women also let Cheng Huan take her child to work

But Cheng Haun only did this couple times because it be too boring for a 4 year old and he would eventually get inpatient

When I saw the aunt and old women get along with XingXing it warmed Cheng Huan heart

The old women even gave me food to take home if I had to work overtime or gave XingXing cookies or dessert when he visited

Cheng Huan also told XingXing when their in public to act like a loving family

Even though both of our acting was bad no one said anything

The original owner's shell was very pretty. The kind of pretty with a lot of characters

The novel had spent a lot of words describing how the women used her body to attract others and referred to her as "beautiful snake woman."

Perhaps because it was now a different soul inside the body, this body's beauty had changed

It was the kind of beauty that was less aggressive. Each look and smile have been mellowed out

Humans are very visual animals. Everybody likes to be close to beautiful people

The old women often asked about the husband, even though she was nice she was also a nosy person

She just smiled lightly and said that he was away to take care of some matters

"That's not right. He shouldn't let you take care of XingXing by yourself "

The old women felt relaxed and the filter was gone all over again. After she said that to Cheng Huan, she turned to XingXing and said,

"Little kiddo, you need to talk to your dad and tell him that he can't leave you two by yourself"

I didn't really care and continued sweeping

XingXing looked up confused he was playing on a iPad and wasn't paying attention all he heard was his name

"Let's talk about something else, I don't want to upset XingXing"

After some "convincing" she finally let it go

Cheng Huan signing in relief

She didn't want to deal with the situation quite yet

After some time the old women took XingXing to the backroom to get snacks when he complained about being hungry

At home he rarely talked and kept to himself but XingXing knew the old women was easy to trick

XingXing just had to be careful if he over did it he would get scolded

Later at dinner what Cheng Huan truly regretted came up

"Where is my daddy?"

As Cheng Huan stopped she decided to lie to the child "He left"

As Cheng Huan looked in XingXing eyes making sure he understood

XingXing shrunk in his chair with his eyes shaking

After some time Cheng Huan continued to eat

The same night before going to bed she heard XingXing sniffing, Cheng Huan could tell what she said hurt him but it was better this way instead of asking questions later on
