"Madam Xu, how was it living in an exotic land?" Xiao Yunhua asked her boss with sparkling eyes. If it was based on her real world, then Madam Xu would be from somewhere similar to France. Such a beautiful country, she wished she could go there someday even if it was an alternate version.
Madam Xu smiled at the enthusiastic woman and began to retell stories of where she resided for decades. Her nostalgia turned into sadness as she recounted her beloved friends. "Yunhua... the reason I even moved away from here was purely after my good friends suffered an accident and I couldn't handle the memories of being here. I was actually studying abroad and then came back to the news of their deaths, hence why I moved away again..."
Madam Xu used a tissue to lightly wipe away her small tears that had formed in her old eyes. "They had a daughter, and I tried to adopt her, but someone had gotten ahead of me and taken her away. Even though I used all the connections I had, I could not find out who had adopted her. The devastating news of their deaths along with not being able to find the daughter, it pressured me to leave again. If she was here, she would be around your age."
The more Madam Xu spoke, the more Xiao Yunhua couldn't believe what she was hearing. Heavens, was there such a coincidence in this world? She gulped and softly asked, "What was her name?"
"Her family surname was Xiao, just like yours. In fact, her name was..." Madam Xu stopped and paled like she had seen a ghost as she looked at Xiao Yunhua. "It can't be?" She murmured in confusion. "Is fate playing a game with us? Xiao Hua, where are your parents?"
"I've been an orphan since I was eight years old at H Orphanage." Madam Xu trembled and stood up, walking towards Xiao Yunhua. She looked at her as she cupped Xiao Yunhua's face with her hands.
Her eyes were filled with tears and they streamed down and she softly uttered, "Xiao Hua, I had dreamed of the day where I would meet her daughter...oh my dear, you look pretty similar to your mother." Xiao Yunhua was confused because the system was supposed to make her beauty otherworldly; however, when Madam Xu took out a photo of three people, Xiao Yunhua's eyes fell immediately on the woman in the middle. She looked identical to Xiao Yunhua except her eyes were chocolate brown and her features not as beautiful. The man was handsome, but to a mediocre extent. The true face of Xiao Yunhua, based on her eight year old self, was more similar to the man, assuming he was the father. But the more Xiao Yunhua did beauty upgrades, the more the face shifted to the mother and perfected the flaws in her beauty.
"Your mother and I were the dearest friends. I loved her just like family and your father...he and your mother loved each other very much. However, the heavens were cruel and took their lives in an accident. They loved you so much." If the real Xiao Yunhua was listening, Xiao Yunhua wanted for her to hear this. She didn't want the eight year old Xiao Yunhua to feel abandoned again. She had a loving family, unlike her evil family that pushed her to death.

Xiao Yunhua nodded and felt the old woman hug her and then say, "Xiao Hua, your parents left a large inheritance for you. It is the accumulation of all their hard work and I'm sure after suffering so much, they would want you to enjoy it."
Xiao Yunhua sadly smiled and shook her head. The money left over was not for her, but for the real owner of this body. She coughed violently and looked so fragile that it broke Madam Xu'd heart. "Madam Xu—"
"Call me Aunt Xu."
Xiao Yunhua nodded, "Aunt Xu... You have already seen my condition. I do not have long to live because my body is broken beyond repair."
Madam Xu shook her head fervently. "No, modern medicine can save you."
"No, it Can only extend my life for a little longer but I'll be suffering like this for every day." Madam Xu understood their severity of the situation and sobbed. This little girl had gone through so much, only to lose her life so soon.
"Aunt Xu, please donate all the money they've left over to that same orphanage. Mother and father would feel relieved to see their hard work spent on something so good. Aunt Xu I—"
The little bell indicating a customer rang and they both looked towards the door.
Xiao Yunhua was shocked to see...
