Wen Fei Fei makes a disgruntled face as she attempts to say some more, however, that thought quickly got cut off by the sound of the nearby door being swung open.
âYour papa is back, donât say anymore while heâs home.â Chai Moon orders, her voice growing stern.
The girl may be have complied by shutting that mouth but itâs obvious the resentment in those havenât receded in the slightest. Theyâre still full of anger, right up to the point where a middle-aged man walked through the doorway and into their view.
âPapa, youâre back!â Considering how elated and sweet Fei Fei said it there, one would find it hard to believe the lass could make such a mean face from earlier.
The welcoming scene was the very first thing Wen Shan came home to. A sweet kind daughter, a gentle and mature wife, the perfect scenario for any successful man who had a family. However, not even this lame duck of a man would be so ignorant as to forget his previous family with Bai Yu and Bai Yan.
Bai Yu was a strong female with a strong personality, never would she ask him for anything or demand anything. In Chai Moonâs case, this second wife was sweet and gentle, the type that makes him want to cuddle her in his arms to kiss and protect. Itâs also the reason he couldnât control himself and make that blunder all those years ago, the woman stroked his manly ego in so many ways that he couldnât resist.
âItâs been hard on you...â Wen Shan says after remembering how poorly heâs treated them both.
Heâs never made any promises to Chai Moon yet this woman would still stand behind him and not ask for anything. This includes the insults thrown their way, thatâs how much they endured. And what have he done as a husband and a father? Nothing really, aside from ignoring them and turning a blind eye to the house attendantâs behavior.
âBrother Shan,â Chai Moon moves closer to her husband after that comment, her eyes radiating light when speaking: âItâs nothing, I really didnât suffer much. As long as I have you and can be together then Iâm willing to bear any bad names coming my way.â
Wen Fei Fei clearly thought otherwise and spoke up in protest: âPapa, you donât know how much of a moneyâs person Bai Yu is. Even if Mama did more here, those attendants and maids would still look down on her. If not for my outstanding talent and growth, I bet they will still hold us in contempt to this day.â
The ones working for the Wen Clan arenât normal civilians, theyâre all highly skilled martial artists that have grasped onto the edge of being cultivators themselves. Therefore, unless these two showed enough talent to win over their hearts, those attendants and maids would never acknowledge them.
Fortunately for Chai Moon though, she herself may not be capable, but her daughter Wen Fei Fei was thanks to those Dan pills they stole from Bai Yi Yi. Through the help of those supplements, the young girlâs now recognized as the most talented female in the younger generation of the Wen Clan, hence catching the eye of the old clan master who was Wen Shanâs father.
âFei Fei!â Chai Moonâs complexion promptly changed for the worse and hurried to drag the running mouthed girl behind herself. Sounding timid and careful: âBrother Shan, please donât mind Fei Feiâs careless words, she didnât mean it and only wanted to protect me from being hurt....â
âI know,â Wen Shan undoubtedly had a frown on his face after having his first wife talked down upon, but he also understood why and wouldnât take it out on his own daughter. âFei Fei, Bai Yu is my deceased wife. According to the relationship we have, you should be calling her your mother too. I know Bai Yuâs temperament very well, sheâs not the type to buy peopleâs heart over with money or wealth, nor is she the type to manage the household affairs. If you suffered any wrong then itâs not related to her, okay?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
