Chapter 790 - Family Reunion III

Jin Hua looked down and smiled how could she not know that his brother was actually warm-hearted despite his cold and indifferent outward appearance, "You are kind…" she muttered under her breath.

Jin Hao subconsciously clears his throat awkwardly before he quickly changes the subject "So when are you going to leave, the sooner is the better" 

Jin Hao cleared his throat before he quickly changed the subject, "So when you go, the sooner the better" he pressed.

"I won't" Jin Hua shook her head, she quickly explained when she saw Jin Hao's disappointment, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I can't bear to leave, actually I will go after I..." she wanted to say' revenge' but it sounded preposterous since she realized that she still wasn't strong enough to beat that woman especially when Jin Kai was around. 

"So why are you staying there?" Jin Hao curiously asked.

Jin Hua smiled helplessly, "Not everyone in Misty Lake is a bad person, some of them are like us and our mother who are forced to follow the rules regardless of whether they want to or not, just like us they also struggle to live. ... desperately trying to protect themselves and their children ... No matter what happens, we cannot deny that these innocent children are our brothers, sisters, and cousins, I know you are wouldn't agree with my decision, but I can't leave them and save myself" Jin Hua lowered her head nervously, she was afraid to hear what Jin Hao would say, but she was determined to help all the innocent women and children who were trapped there.

Normally Jin Hao would say that he's stupid but after knowing Lory his mindset gradually changed, there's no harm in protecting others even though they might not appreciate it or even know about it but it doesn't matter right. Because it's up to you what you want to become. A hero, a villain, or a mere passerby it's up to you to decide. 

"I see..." Jin Hao let out a long exhales.

Jin Hua stares at Jin Hao in surprise, "You do, you don't think I'm stupid?" she subconsciously raised her voice excitedly.

"No, I still think you are stupid!" Jin Hao said curtly, Jin Hua looks down as she feel discouraged but then Jin Hao continued in a heavy tone "But that doesn't mean I'm not proud of you..."

Jin Hua's face was beaming with joy, her eyes sparkling like stars. Jin Hao wasn't someone who easily complimented anyone in fact it was really hard to gain praise from him that's why when she was a kid she would work extra hard to receive at least his acknowledgment.

"Thank you brother" she smiled shyly.

Jin Hao responded with a snarky snort.

"Oh, if I stay in the Misty Lake, I can help you to watch Jin Kai and Lao Min Na's plans" he quickly regained his spirits.

Jin Hao rolled his eyes in ridicule, "I've planted quite a number of people there" although he sounds crude, however, that's how Jin Hao expressed 'I don't want you to get hurt' and Jin Hua knows this. 

"But, it's not the same!" he insisted "You know there are places in Misty Lake that only high-ranking family members can enter, so I thought I could give you more valuable information than any of your spies" he folded his arms across her c.h.e.s.t confidently.

Instead of being happy, Jin Hao's expression stiffened, "Don't trouble yourself!" he reprimanded Jin Hua firmly.

However, Jin Hua smiles from ear to ear knowing Jin Hao was worried about her which only made Jin Hua more eager to help him, moreover helping Jin Hao is the same as helping herself, Jin Hua patted his c.h.e.s.t then said: "Brother don't worry about me, I'm not a little girl anymore, I know how to take care of myself.

Jin Hao was silent, then Jin Hua slowly approached him then she gently held Jin hao's hand the same way she held his hand when they were little, Jin Hua raised her gaze and gently smiled at him "Let me do this brother, for once in my life I want to do something to help you… please"

Her pleading eyes made him unable to refute. Jin Hao couldn't help but sigh heavily, "You've grown Xiao Hua"

"What are you doing here?" Bei Li Yan's brows knit tightly. He never thought he would find Tian Meng Ji in one of his brothels.

The old man was surrounded by beautiful courtesan's in bright skimpy dresses that showed their necks and slender cleavage, Tian Meng Ji's face turned deep red he didn't know where to look he could only lower his gaze and drink his wine silently while the women around all around him giggled seeing his embarrassed face.

Tian Meng Ji smiled in relief when he saw Bei Li Yan enter the room even though it was clear that Bei Li Yan did not feel the same way. 

"What's wrong with me visiting my student underlings" The old man raised his gaze acting arrogant all of a sudden but when he accidentally saw the courtesan plump c.h.e.s.t he blushed like a boiling crab then quickly averted his gaze awkwardly while the courtesan laughed at Tian Meng Ji attitude.

Bei Li Yan waved her hand and all of the women in the room quickly left the room.

Dia melihat Tian Meng Ji dan mencibir "tentu saja itu salah, pertama-tama tuanku bukan muridmu lagi dan kedatanganmu menganggu kesibukanku"

Bei Li Yan's words were like a stab to the heart he glared at Bei Li Yan angrily and shouted, "What do you mean by that, have you never heard, one day a teacher, Father forever!" he puffed out his c.h.e.s.t arrogantly. 

Bei Li Yan suppressed his laugh, "Are you sure you want to be my master's father, don't you remember what my master did to his father and all his biological family?" Bei Li Yan thinks Tian Meng Ji doesn't realize how ridiculous his stamens are, sometimes he wonders why Tian Meng Ji seems failed to understand Zhao Li Xin's temper lately.

Strangely Tian Meng Ji used to be more understanding and open-minded towards Zhao Li Xin, that's why their relationship lasted so long but after what happened to Lu Yao and Tang Mei Yi their relationship slowly changed, Maybe Tian Meng Ji is still grieving over the loss of his old lover and Tang Mei Yi that he watched growing up, but he couldn't be angry with his only disciple so he took all his anger on Lory.

Tian Meng Ji pursed his lips furiously then swallowed the entire wine cup in one gulp then slammed the bottom of the cup onto the table with a bang.

Bei Li Yan rolled his eyes seeing the old man sulking, he flicked his robe then sat lazily across from Tian Meng Ji, "Say what do you want?" he asked lazily as he poured himself a cup of wine. To be honest, if Tian Meng Ji wasn't Zhao Li Xin's former teacher, he wouldn't be this patient with him.

Bei Li Yan's attitude irritated him so much, he shouted angrily at Bei Li Yan, "I am an elder, can you treat me with respect?!" he pounded the table furiously.

Bei Li Yan didn't even budge instead she looked at him with clear ridicule "Oh please… this is the last place you expect to be respected, you should go to Jiang Jin Wei place instead if you want to be respected" he raised his wine cup and took a sip. wine in a graceful manner.

Tian Meng Ji's face turned gloomy, he did visit Jiang Jin Wei but he couldn't find him because the man was too busy dealing with Hei Shen matters, after all, he was the most hardworking Palace Lord compared to the other three.

Tian Meng Ji then came to Jin Hao's place but like Jiang Jin Wei he was also absent. Feeling very annoyed he finally decided to come to Bei Li Yan's place instead of Wu San Bo.

Although Wu San Bo from the outside looked more polite, but that man always made him lose money by persuading him to buy things he didn't need, that's why Tian Meng Ji was more afraid of Wu San Bo than Bei Li Yan who mostly only infuriate him
