What the hell is going on here? Who was the man who brought me here just now?
Chai Moon slowly scans the surrounding until her eyes eventually landed on Bai Yan’s figure. Stunned for a second by who it was, she immediately shifted back to her own husband using that gentle tone she’s so accustomed to: “Husband, I don’t know what others told you while I wasn’t around, but please believe in me. I’ve followed you through thick and thin, there’s no way we will do anything behind your back. You know me, I would never touch your previous wife’s inheritance.”
Perhaps the gentle voice did do the trick because Wen Shan’s mind began to sway again. It’s plausible for him to suspect Wen Fei Fei, but there’s no way he could do towards Chai Moon. After all, the woman’s been with him for years and did everything out for his sake. He knows her, supposedly anyways….
“Yan Yan,” Di Cang saw the wavering sign and decides its time he opened up the first act of tonight’s show, “I will have someone from the Water Clan take the members of the Tian Clan and Fu Clan away for their punishment, but first I want you to see a good show, okay?”
Bai Yan didn’t get a chance drop a word in this case though for a loud burst of curses came sweeping over in the next.
“Chai Moon, you heartless scoundrel! I not only raised you in vain, I also made the worst mistake of my life for helping you arrange such a marriage! Now that you’re living a good life, you’re just going to toss me aside and not give a care?!” Coming in from the dark night was a bearded old man who was scrawny and dirty looking, his eyes flaring with anger.
“You…” Wen Shan was the first to recognize this individual and became shocked by the poor state of this old man, “you are my family’s former housekeeper! Why are you here and like this? How come you are in such bad shape?”
“Sir,” the old housekeeper got on the knee and began weeping before the coward, “I’m sorry Sir, it’s all my fault. Chai Moon is my illegitimate daughter that I raised outside. When you quarreled with the madam, I deliberately told her about your whereabout so that she can smoothly appear before you at that period. Getting you drunk is also part of the plan, and then….”
While saying that, the old man also began to bang his own head against the marbled flooring, thus making a loud thud with every hit in this quiet hall.
Iron, what irony!
Covering his own eyes with the palm of his hand, Wen Shan couldn’t hold back his emotions anymore and began to laugh and cry at the same time.
“Mom!” Wen Fei Fei rushed towards his mom’s side and began shaking her body, “Tell me this isn’t true! Hurry and tell me you are innocent! Tell me you are!”
Compared to everything else that has occurred tonight, this truth about her own origin was the most devastating. Wen Fei Fei always had this belief justice stood on her side since she had no control over her own birth right. The one who stole all the love and goodness in her life was Bai Yan, not herself, she’s the innocent one in this whole story. However, the truth was that she’s the real villain? Of course the girl wouldn’t be able to take it and started to break down.
Chai Moon wasn’t a stupid woman, she could tell the whole situation has been a setup and there’s no turning back. Gulping, she closes her eyes in acceptance.
It’s over….
