68 Disappointed in you

"Care to explain what's happening here?" Elder Ji's old gruff voice echoed in the room.

"I'm married and she's my wife, Yu Han." Ji Yang replied nonchalantly.

Everyone's lips twitched at his arrogance.

'For once can you not be arrogant.' Anna tried to convey the message through her eyes.

Anna had done her research on Ji family and it's no surprise to say Ji family is the strongest family in the country. She absolutely doesn't want to get into their bad side. So she was nervous.

Ji Yang lips curved up lightly looking at her nervousness. She looked adorable with her puppy nervous face.

Dui An He and Madam Ji noticed his smile and looked at each other in shock. It was surprising to see Ji Yang smiling in adoration looking at a woman.

"You brat, is that how you speak to us? When did you plan on telling us you're married?! After having two kids?!" Elder Ji stomped his cane on the marble floor in rage.

Anna flinched at the sound and squirmed in her place.

Ji Qiang, Dui An He and Madam Ji also flinched at Elder Ji's rage.

Ji Yang sat unaffected, he quite liked the idea of two kids and glanced at Anna. But Anna was busy looking at the carpet suddenly it seemed more interesting than the conversation.

Elder Ji and Ji Sheng saw through Ji Yang and scoffed in disbelief. After all they are all same blood.

"Yang how long has this been going on? why didn't you tell us?" Dui An He asked her lovely grandson. First time she was disappointed in him.

"You both think traditions and cultures are joke, getting married without concert of your families. Marriage is a scared relationship , it's the marriage of not only two people but two families. You have to follow traditions to bond and seal the fate forever. Ji Yang I'm disappointed in you." Elder Ji's expressed in disappointment shaking his head.

Guilt started eating Anna, because of her selfish revenge she forgot the meaning of marriage. She knew how much a marriage means to bride's or groom's family yet she choose to be blind eye to get petty revenge. She remembered how happy her family was in Vivian's marriage. Marriage is a dream of every parents and she crushed that dream.

And seeing Elder Ji showing disappointment in Ji Yang Anna's guilt became bigger. It's all because of her.

"What's the reason of hiding the marriage?" Ji Sheng's low yet cold voice asked in no one particular.

"It was my choice, I simply didn't like publicizing my marriage." Ji Yang spoke nonchalantly, he knew how much dispirited and guilty Anna was feeling. He didn't like the idea of his wife getting scoldings.

All the elders got enraged with Ji Yang's attitude.

Anna was stunned at Ji Yang's words, he took all the blame saving her from the elders wrath. She was ready to admit her mistake but he covered up for her. Her heart filled with an inexplicable warmth.

But Anna isn't the type to hide behind someone, she can deal with the problems all by herself.

"It was me. I wanted to keep this marriage a secret." Anna stood up and spoke confidently and bowed in apology.

In her previous life her family stood behind her and supported through all thick and thin. Now in this life she found someone who has equal trust on her same as her parents. So she needs to stand up for that trust.

Elder Ji, Dui An He, Ji Sheng and Madam Ji were slightly stunned at her confidence.

"I assume you all might be knowing my identity and my family background." Anna took a pause looking at all of them.

Elder Ji, Dui An He, Ji Sheng and Madam Ji looked at each other. Taking their silence as Yes Anna continued.

"You might as well know the internal conflicts in Yu family. My grandpa's position as head and Yu company is in danger. I'm on a revenge path trying to pluck out all the poisonous plant... Our marriage was uncalled..."

'Even I didn't know I got married.' Anna whispered to herself but Ji Yang heard it and smirked.

All the elders was stunned listening to Anna.

"...You might be knowing the Yu family rules 'once the girl is married she no longer has any rights to interfere in the family business.' " Anna air quoted the rule which Elder Yu recites everytime.

"So in order to keep my family safe and to protect from enemies I had to keep our marriage as a secret, I sincerely apologise for my behavior. I'm willing to take whatever punishment you give." Anna bowed in apologize but her head was held high in confidence. There was a dominance aura around her similar to Ji Yang.
