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 Yanâs figure. Stunned for a second by who it was, she immediately shifted back to her own husband using that gentle tone sheâs so accustomed to: âHusband, I donât know what others told you while I wasnât around, but please believe in me. Iâve followed you through thick and thin, thereâs no way we will do anything behind your back. You know me, I would never touch your previous wifeâs inheritance.â
Perhaps the gentle voice did do the trick because Wen Shanâs mind began to sway again. Itâs plausible for him to suspect Wen Fei Fei, but thereâs no way he could do towards Chai Moon. After all, the womanâs been with him for years and did everything out for his sake. He knows her, supposedly anyways....
âYan Yan,â Di Cang saw the wavering sign and decides its time he opened up the first act of tonightâs show, âI 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?â
Bai Yan didnât get a chance drop a word in this case though for a loud burst of curses came sweeping over in the next.
âChai 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 youâre living a good life, youâre just going to toss me aside and not give a care?!â Coming in from the dark night was a bearded old man who was scrawny and dirty looking, his eyes flaring with anger.
âYou...â Wen Shan was the first to recognize this individual and became shocked by the poor state of this old man, âyou are my familyâs former housekeeper! Why are you here and like this? How come you are in such bad shape?â
âSir,â the old housekeeper got on the knee and began weeping before the coward, âIâm sorry Sir, itâs 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....â
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.
Without surprise, Wen Shan froze on the spot after getting this newfound piece of information. That year he got drunk after arguing with his wife and then slept with Chai Moon as the consequence. By the time he realizes the folly it was already too late, the deed was done. Naturally he wanted to make up for it using money, but Chai Moon supposedly had too much self-respect and refused every penny he offered despite living in that run-down shack she called home. And now, it turns out everything was a lie? Ha, what a farce! Itâs not he who raped Chai Moon, rather itâs the woman herself who raped him!
Iron, what irony!
Covering his own eyes with the palm of his hand, Wen Shan couldnât hold back his emotions anymore and began to laugh and cry at the same time.
âMom!â Wen Fei Fei rushed towards his momâs side and began shaking her body, âTell me this isnât true! Hurry and tell me you are innocent! Tell me you are!â
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, sheâs the innocent one in this whole story. However, the truth was that sheâs the real villain? Of course the girl wouldnât be able to take it and started to break down.
Chai Moon wasnât a stupid woman, she could tell the whole situation has been a setup and thereâs no turning back. Gulping, she closes her eyes in acceptance.
Itâs over....
