Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Letter
The sky began to drizzle softly, and it was gradually becoming stiflingly hot.
Summer was approaching step by step.
In the neighborhood, the rumors about the Cheng Family were increasing day by day.
People felt even more sympathy for Zhao Haishuang.
Faced with the death of her son and the imprisonment of her husband, this pitiful woman seemed to have aged
ten years overnight.
And not only that, Cheng Guomin’s assets were also set to be confiscated.
Including the house they currently lived in.
Zhao Haishuang felt as if the sky was collapsing.
Having been a wealthy, high-society lady for so many years, she had never imagined she would end up in such a
state.
Though she still technically owned sassets and had purchased a couple of properties in the past, what good
were these meager possessions?
She had lost an entire family, and she had also lost her husband and son.
Emotionally overwhelmed, Zhao Haishuang broke down and fainted from crying.
Her relatives rushed her to the hospital.
Just a few days later, officials notified Zhao Haishuang to start packing up her house, as they were preparing to
confiscate it.
Forcing herself to pull it together, Zhao Haishuang began packing up the house.
The decorations in the house had remained unchanged; even though Cheng Huai had passed away, Zhao
Haishuang couldn’t bring herself to touch his belongings, keeping everything as it was so she could preserve
ssemblance of him.
But now, she had no choice but to move out.
She hired movers to take everything away. Even items that were practically useless, she insisted on keeping. Just
having these things gave her a sense of solace, a way to hold onto the past and live through the rest of her life
with ssmall trace of memory.
After clearing out the other rooms, she stood at the doorway of Cheng Lie’s room.
She opened the door, revealing utter chaos inside.
Cheng Lie hadn’t had many belongings to begin with, but back then, learning that her son’s treatment had been
delayed because of Cheng Lie, costing him his chance at survival, Zhao Haishuang had demolished everything in
Cheng Lie’s room.
His bed, his wardrobe—she smashed them all.

Now, all of those remnants were piled on the floor, left untouched by anyone.
Stepping into the room now, Zhao Haishuang’s face twisted with hatred.
With a glance, she told the housekeeper who was helping clean up, "Clear everything out of here. Anything
usable, take it for yourself. Anything useless, throw it away."
Looking at this room, she couldn't help but think of Cheng Lie. Her hatred burned even hotter.
She regretted not being even more cruel to Cheng Lie over all these years. If she had known things would come
to this, she wouldn't have followed Cheng Guomin’s suggestion to wait until he was of age to kick him out. She
should've forced him to die like his mother had!
This bastard was just too lucky. He should've died back then along with his mother. How did he manage to
survive?
But it was too late for anything now. Her whole family had fallen apart.
After another look around the room, Zhao Haishuang packed everything up and prepared to leave.
She thought to herself, she still had to scrape by and live her life somehow, even alone.
But just as she finished packing and was about to leave, the cleaning lady stopped her.
"Ma'am, | found a letter here. Do you want to take a look?" The cleaner couldn't read, but she understood that
letters were often important.
Cheng Lie had left behind a letter in his room? Zhao Haishuang frowned and took the envelope.
She opened it. The first line on top read:
"Zhao Haishuang, are you happy?"
Opening the letter, chills ran down her spine. How could Cheng Lie have known this letter would end up in her
hands?
"Your face is ruined, your son is gone, your husband is in jail. It must hurt terribly, doesn’t it? Live well now.
Experience the kind of pain that cuts to the bone."
The last line read: "I'll be watching you."
After reading the letter, even though it was broad daylight, Zhao Haishuang felt a cold shiver crawl down her
back.
The handwriting was neat and even elegant.
It didn’t match the Cheng Lie she had always known.
Just thinking about this discrepancy filled Zhao Haishuang with an overwhelming sense of terror.
But the contents of the letter were even more frightening. He had left long ago, before Cheng Huai’s death and
Cheng Guomin’s imprisonment.
Yet he had mentioned it all in the letter.
Could he have predicted all this? No, more likely, he orchestrated everything!
He had known his bone marrow matched Cheng Huai’s, but refused to donate it.
He had reported Cheng Guomin, sending him to prison.
If you pieced it together, perhaps even her disfigurement had something to do with Cheng Lie.
That cold, gloomy boy—his methods were unbelievably cunning! And after all that, he had the audacity to send
her this letter to confess everything? Just to torment her further?
Darkness flickered before Zhao Haishuang’s eyes as she clutched the letter tightly. Could it be that Cheng Huai’s
death was also his doing?
An uncontrollable wave of hatred consumed her, pushing Zhao Haishuang into hysteria. She screamed, her
mental state snapping completely as she began smashing objects in fury.

She kept mumbling, "That little beast killed my son and ruined my husband. Doctor, please report him to the
police and arrest him."
The doctors thought she had gone mad.

Now they simply felt pity for her, though her behavior seemed absurd.
Her son had died of leukemia, not poisoning or anything. How could anyone else have caused it?
As for her husband, if he hadn't done those things, why would anyone have reported him?
They arranged for Zhao Haishuang to stay in the hospital, but she adamantly refused, wanting to leave, all the
while raving that someone was trying to kill her.
She seemed utterly deranged.
After much commotion, the doctors finally had to sedate her. Only then did she quiet down.
As she slowly calmed, Zhao Haishuang thought back over the entire series of events, wanting to make the letter
public to reveal Cheng Lie’s true nature to the world.
But then she hesitated, realizing no one would believe her. With no evidence, she would only look like a
madwoman in everyone's eyes.
Even Zhao Haishuang herself felt like
she was losing her mind. Who,weuld
have thought het tid Bastard right
halt her nose all this time, could
have done such despicable things?
The more she thought about it, the more horrifying it all seemed.
Especially the last line in the letter, where he said he was watching her from somewhere she couldn't see.
Fear gripped Zhao Haishuang, nearly consuming her.
Would he cto kill her too?
"I heard your Aunt Cheng isn’t doing well. She's been hospitalized," Yun Tiancheng said to Yun Shifei.
"She keeps saying that it’s Cheng Lie who ruined her whole family."
Yun Shifei heard this but remained silent, saying nothing.
Yun Tiancheng looked surprised. Why wasn’t Yun Shifei defending Cheng Lie like she used to?
