He followed her gaze, ''She is his ex-wife."
She quickly glanced at the woman's picture at the top, "Your father's ex-wife?"
"Yes. She had a son too who should be older than all of us but he passed away due to health issues," He muttered before looking at the man's picture towards the bottom, "He is my half brother, Jun Zihao."
Her gaze flashed slightly but she schooled her expressions before he could notice anything amiss, "Is he...her son? I mean your father's ex wife's...?"
"No, he was born from a mistress.''
The corner of her lips twitched, "Handsome men can never be trusted," No matter what, Jun Zixuan's father was so handsome that he can easily pass off as his elder brother. And now look at his history with women.
He glanced at her, "What do you mean?"
She glanced at him, ''Don't give me that innocent look. You better stay loyal to me."
Jun Zixuan chuckled.
She shook her head. So, this was the reason why Jun Boyan was addressed as Fourth Young Master by everyone. She had always been curious about it and only now did she get it. Jun Zishen had four sons. His first wife gave birth to his eldest son who passed away due to health issues. And the second son was born from a mistress while the third and fourth son were from his second wife, Shen Lihua.
Given that there was no fifth child in the picture, probably the man's affection for Shen LIhua were real.
Sighing softly, she turned the page.
Old Madam Jun.
Proud and elegant. These were the words that came to her mind when she saw the picture of the old lady who was sitting on a throne chair beside her husband.
So, she was their grandmother.
"You saw everyon-"
She interrupted him, "How did she treat you?"
He paused, "Yes?"
"How did she treat you back then?"
"Why does it matters?"
"I want to know," She replied while her gaze was still focused on the picture.
"She used to dislike me a lot," Jun Zixuan sighed helplessly at how stubborn she was, "And since I had seen her raising her hand at mom quite a few times, I also didn't have any good feelings for her. And when I couldn't talk while growing up, she detested me over time," He casually said.
What elegant? This old hag is a witch. Who would not adore a baby Zixuan? She could almost imagine him sitting in a place, shining like an angel.
"More."
He was speechless. She seemed very interested in this. Left with no choice, he continued, "There was a time when I bumped into her and she ended up beating me with her cane until I passed out and by the time I woke, I was locked in the basement for 'not behaving properly' by her husband. It has always been like-" He paused when she pounced on him all of a sudden, throwing the file away, "What's wrong?"
"Aren't you the least bit affected by all that? How can you say it all so nonchalantly? You...H-How could they..."
"Hey, are you crying?" Jun Zixuan was stunned, "What happened? Why would you cry out of nowhere?"
"What do you think?" She sniffed and rubbed her face on shoulder, properly staining his white shirt with her tears, "I can't....watch a romantic movie without crying. How do you expect me to take this when you were treated so harshly?"
"Why are you such a crybaby?" He helplessly stroked her back and hugged her tightly, still finding it difficult to believe that she was crying for him, "It isn't that serious, you know?"
"I don't know anything," She buried her face in his neck, "It would have been good if I was there with you. I would have thrown stones at anyone who tried to bully you."
Jun Zixuan could barely contain his laughter, "When I was 3 years old, you must be 1. How would you have done that? Silly!"
'That's because when you were 3, I was also 3,' She thought to herself as her gaze darkened.
Perhaps because of what he went through, he became the man he was today.
He had everything under his control.
One snap of his fingers and anything he desired would be at his feet. The force of Eminence was certainly not to be underestimated.
But...
She paused, "And what was about that card yesterday?" Although she was aware of what it was but she was curious as to why and how did he get it.
"First you ask me about all these unimportant things, then you start crying. What's the benefit in it?" He raised an eyebrow.
"I want to know everything about you," She rubbed her eyes, regretting the way she bawled earlier. But then, she was pretty much experienced in such embarrassing situations and that had made her thick skinned.
He pressed a kiss on her forehead, "The crystal card is the type of black card that is only availed to the Amaranthine Royalty. It was given to me by him.''
"Him? Your father?"
"Yes. When I turned 10, I received that crystal card from his subordinate. It was given to me for allowances. I did not want to keep it but he might have gone to look for Mom and I did not want to upset her further after her parents' death. That's why I accepted it. He used to sent me $25k every month...."
"What happened now?"
"...Well, I intended to return it to him but he thought I wanted more money so he doubled the amount saying that I didn't deserve more than that."
She pursed her lips. Jun Zixuan was richer than almost 10 such royal families.
What exactly do they think of themselves?
...
"There is full privacy here. How do you like it, Ma'am?"
"It's good. But what about that?" Mia pointed her chin towards the glass partition on the opposite side.
