Wen Shan sighed at that. It’s true he hoped Bai Yan would return someday, but it’s also true he had hoped for his daughter to accept Chai Moon. For it to turn out this way and in such conflict, it’s undoubtedly leaving him in a bind.
“So it’s my mother’s fault that you ignored your secret lover for so many years? Or is it that you delighted in the fact that you had another woman out there and didn’t have to care for them?” Getting dark in her smirk, Bai Yan starts becoming a thorn in the man’s side with her words: “I bet you’re thinking both right? Humph, only a power-hungry man like your father from the Wen Clan can produce a scum like you.”
That’s right, only a bad parent could produce such bad offspring’s, otherwise why else would this Wen Shan become like so? It must be due to the teaching of the current Wen Clan’s head.
“Yan’er!” Wen Shan flew into a rage, his eyes full of disbelief over what he’s heard.
How did my sweet daughter become so aggressive? She’s nothing like how I remember her to be!
Despite his own emotions, the coward nevertheless sucked it up knowing the fault lies with himself. Softening up in his tone: “I believe you will one day accept her. I believe in my Yan’er, the kind and sweet daughter that I know.”
“You don’t need to say anymore Brother Shan,” it’s then Chai moon spoke up with her fraudulent face of tears again, “in the eyes of others, I will always be the family destroying third party. No matter what I do in this family it will always be in vain. But I never asked for anything when Bai Yu was still around…. She’s gone now, and I needed to look out for Fei Fei’s future, that’s why I came to this family.”
At this point, Chai Moon’s smile had gone sad and remorseful: “Now looking back at it, me coming to this place is a mistake! I never asked for anything, but they all keep misunderstanding me. It’s good that Yan’er is back, now me and Fei Fei will leave and give way like everyone wants.”
“Mom!” Wen Fei Fei cried out, throwing herself over to cling onto her own mother, “You endured so much after so many years just to be here, just to be by Papa’s side. If you leave then who’s going to care for Papa in the future?”
“But I don’t want to destroy other people’s family. As long as your papa and sister are happy then I’m satisfied.”
Wen Shan may be a coward but he’s no heartless bastard. When he saw how moving this scene was between the pair there, his heart ached in agony like anyone should. It’s as if someone was reaching into his heart and twisting it.
I’m really too much! What the hell have I been doing all these years? I knew Chai Moon loves me, yet I’m always being neither hot nor cold with her! So what if she’s not as good as Bai Yu? She may not have the look or family background, but she loves me! This is enough!
Think up to here, Wen Shan’s original softened expression once again sterned up: “Yan’er, you shouldn’t leave anymore now that you are back. Also, you must call Chai Moon your mother from now on! She’s been through a lot during these past few years, do you understand?”
“And… your birth mother, she… she’s gone already.” When mentioning this fact, the man found it difficult to breath like he didn’t abandon his own wife in the first place, “I want to reemphasize the point, Chai Moon is not some third party, she is my wife! She will fulfill her motherly duties so you don’t have to worry.”
Bai Yan couldn’t resist a sneer after hearing all that. She never bought their act in the slightest, rather it’s starting to get amusing because of how similar these two are to the Bai House from the other world. They’re both pretentious and likes to act before the public.
“If you’re all done acting then give me back my mother’s stuff. I’m going to give you to the count of three so don’t waste my time.”
“Yan’er!” Wen Shan’s already wrinkled forehead had turned into a deep furrow. He never expected his good and obedient daughter to turn out so rebellious.
“One!” Bai Yan announces without any readable emotion.
“What are you doing Yan’er?!”
“Two!”
“Three…”
Bai Yan wasted no time to move at the last count. In a flash, she bolts into the manor like a lightning bolt, causing a gush of air in her wake and sending the cowardly man stumbling backwards.
