Chapter 81 - Dad, I Have A Plan

Yue Xiang could still recall Lu Jia ranting about how she was never accepted into the Yue family, even though General Yue was her father by blood. Even if it was in name only, she should have had everything that the Yue's had, but she was entitled to everything.

Until the end, she never disclosed who the original owner of that 50 million dollars was. An enemy in the dark was always harder to defend against than one that was in the light.

Massaging his forehead, Yue Xiang sat down on the sofa and signaled the maid to bring him a glass of water.

Yue Wan and Yue Yeager sat on either side of Yue Xiang with a concerned face. Yue Wan touched her Big Brother's shoulder, then with a light quavering voice reassured him. "Don't put it inside your heart and deal with it all by yourself. Remember, you have us, you can always tell us what is on your mind. We are a family, and we are stronger together."

Yue Xiang's lips let out a smile as he grasped his sister's hand and then tightly hugged his two most precious treasures in his embrace.

Yue Yeager ruffled his son's hair just like, how his wife used to do in the past. "Xiang, I have never doubted your decisions in the past, nor will I do so in the future. So, tell me. What do you want to do?"

Yue Xiang revealed everything that he had found out from Lu Jia, except for what he had learned about his mother.

He vowed in his heart to find the culprit and bring him before his father for justice. Until that happened, he would keep them in the dark about this matter.

Yue Yeager vaguely remembered about the contract. He explained to his two children what he could remember from the document. "The contract you are talking about was established by your Great-Grandfather to compensate the Li family over a broken engagement in the past. My Father, General Yue, broke a marriage alliance with Li harshly to marry and protect my mother."

Yue Wan and Yue Xiang looked at him in shock. "Grandfather broke his marriage arrangement?!"

"Yes, but it won't affect Little Wan if she has a person that she desired to marry. According to the contract, if we met someone and fell in love with them, then the contract would become null until the following generation. That's how my father managed to get out of the arranged marriage, and since I fell in love with your mother, I did not have to go along with the contract either." Yue Yeager's face radiated like a sun as he elevated chin and held head high in pride.

Yue Xiang's heart broke it into pieces when he saw the love shining on his father's face. "Stop making up stories. You practically had to beg our mother to marry you."

'Crack...Crack.' Yue Yeager's little heart cracked. Ungrateful brat, she clearly loved him unconditionally.

Yue Wan glanced at her Big Brother in a state of shock and demanded more information.

"Really! What happened after that, Big Brother?"

Before Yue Xiang could say a word, Yue Yeager tackled him down and protested: "You brat, stop damaging my image in front of my cute daughter."

Yue Xiang chuckled with a snort and retaliated with a toneless voice. "Do you still have any face left?"

Shaking her head in exasperation, Yue Wan took the files her dad brought with him. On seeing the content, Yue Wan's body trembled with a fluttering heart and a racing pulse as she clenched those files tightly.

"Grace!" She muttered with a heavy lump in her throat.

Yue Yeager stopped playing around looked at Little Wan's pale face. Seeing where his father was looking, Yue Xiang also turned to look at his sister. Seeing her face, Yue Xian panicked and grabbed the files from Yue Wan's hands. Putting them out of her reach, he studied her face, wondering what she had read to cause such a reaction.

"This is nothing to worry about Wan, I have this all under control. The most important thing for you to do is to go back to your room and prepare for tomorrow's exams. What is in this file is something that I need to discuss with dad." Reassuring his sister, Yue Xiang gently guided her to the stairs and nudged her towards her room.

Yue Yeager lowered his eyebrows with a frown, but he masked it with a goofy smile and gazed in direction of Yue Wan, as he emphasized, "Little Wan, I will inform Uncle Wang to bring you super to your room, so take your time and study well."

Once Yue Wan left them alone, Yue Yeager enquired about the Gift incident in detail. Yue Xiang planned to hide it from his family and solve it without a sound. But now they met a dead end with no turning back, so he didn't hold back and revealed it, "Xiao Ran, received continuous Gifts under Little Wan's name right after the drug incident."

He narrowed his eyes and studied his sister's returning figure as he explained about the recent gift with a perfume.

Tilting his head and staring in sideways, Yue Yeager disclosed with a quiver in his voice, "I tracked those gifs in Black Market and found that they were bitted under Grace's name 2-years back. The dealer specifically mentioned that a young girl personally came there whenever there is a new arrival."

With a Puckered forehead, Yue Xiang's eyes constricted in bewilderment, "A girl?"

Yue Yeager removed the files from Yue Xiang's grasp and expressed, "Not only that when the dealer described her appearance." With a little pause, he took a glimpse at his daughter's back, as he concurred, "It fits perfectly with Yue Wan's structure."

Their temples wrinkled with a slight frown and with an unfocused gaze, the atmosphere became heavier to breathe. They need to track this case down as soon as possible. So Yue Xiang made a suggestion unexpectedly, "Dad, I have a plan." He whispered in his Father's ear secretly.

Yue Yeager's face soured up when his son revealed an option to save Yue Wan, he boomed with a widen eye, "A marriage for Little Wan?"
